Mysterious Providence.

we read In the good book thus: "God
causes the wrath Of man to praise him."
and that those who "sow to the wind shall
reap the whirlwind." This is notifying
to the wicked. They lay their plans, or
gauiza their campaigns, expect certain sue
cess. and some mysterious hand turns the
currents against them, takes away their
wisdom, so that they defeat their own
cause and promote that which they designed
to destroy. In the great conflicts for lib
erty. inreligion, and civil life, in England.
the enemies of liberty did more to forward
than TO retard the grand cause. The des
pots. in church and state. actually drove
thousands of their best men to the radical
side. by their severe laws to enforce uni
formity and servile loyalty. Their violent
zeal constantly weakened themselves. and
strengthened their enemies. 1t may be
set down as . fact. that Charles the Sec
ond, and James the Second, and their
ministers. did more to promote the down
fall of despotism. in England, than all
the advocates of liberty could have posi-
bly, achieved. The same is true in the
slavery conflict in this country the friends
of sla very have been the most potent pro-
mofers of abolition sentiment. During
the thirty years since the war began. the
abolition party has ften been disco araged.
exhausted. and apparently defeated. but in
every such exigency. tho pro-slauery party
have done something to revive them; and
recruits have been literally forced from the
pro-slavery ranks, by the growing severity
and violence of their party leaders
Where anti-slavery orators have converted
one, pro-slavery managers have converted
hundred to the auti-slavery creed.
This rebellion was inaugurated to estab-
lish. strengthen, and perpetuate slavery,
but no possible measure could have been
SO fatal to its existence. How wonderful.
that these worshippsrs OF slavery should
make such terrible sacrifices to sustain it,
and oil their efforts result exactly opposit e
to what they desired aud expected. The
friends of slavery at the North have done
more since this war commenced for its alb
clifton. than all the abolitionists could
have done. Northern sympathy for the
rebels has prolonged the war; encouraged
the rebels to hold out, and favored the idea
of foreign Intervention. Well, every
month that the war continues is another
blow against slavery; southern persistence
aud foreign meddlesomeness. have forced
the proclamation Of freedom to the slaves
Continuance Of the war and discourage
ment of enlistments. tho work of pro
slaveryism. has obliged the president t.
call for negro soldiers. the thing most ia

Who are the most efficient abolitionist
in the land? jeff. Davis stands at tn,

done what they could to break every yoke

From the Mobile Tribune.l

From the Mobile Tribune
= The news this morning of the riot in
New York will attract the readers atten-
ton. 1t is only specific in three things,
namely, it originated in opposition to the
draft; it resulted in a limited loss of life
and property; and IS we infer was checked
BY assurances from Governor Seymour
that the Government would remove the
cause Of the discomfort
Simultaneously there was similar riot
in Hartford. Conn. Whether it was
strong enough to force concession, as in
New York. is not stated.
These riots are the result of the doctr inc
taught Of late By the Democratic party,
rAich in New York city has strength enough
to defy the Government In the rural dis
tric.s it has no organization which give it
confidence. 1t is, therefore, we imagine,
only local disturbance, amounting to
nothing so far as the power at Washing
ton is concerned.
Whatever may be the result. it will be
of no benefit to Us at present. 1t is how
ever, q small satisfaction to know that
there is not dead sea Of acquiescence at
the North in the miserable tyranny which
now rules that part Of the continent.
The accuracy. says the Indianapolis
journal. with which all the rebel papers
