In other words, vote for wll5m. YOU
please; but be sure you vote for
the Administration candidates. This
would sound woll in an Austrian or
Russian newspaper, or under an avow-
edly military government, such as that
IN France, when Louis Napoleon was
President and before he became En-
pcror. But, if it is not sarcasm, is il
not strange warning to be given
under q Republican Government?
RUMoT OF AN EXTENSIVE NEGRO INsUn-
EECTION
There are some very painful rumors
III town IN relation to formidable
6 .leral rising of the negroes in some
OF the Southern States. It is said that
there is a widespread conspiracy
among the blacks to rise simultaneous
ly on II given day and to repeat the
bloody scenes of ST, Domingo on
scale that will blot out the memory of
that horrible massacre The plot is
s;Gd to have sprung up and nE,tured
within month or two past, but the
design was not to strike the blow until
next December. 1t was thought bv
the leaders that that length Of time
was required in order to secure the
entire success Of the atrOcions DESIGN.
1T WAS not To be confined to one locali-
ty, bat was to be made general all
over the South. Vast numbers; Of
muskcts and other weapons are said
10 havt been provided, and the ne
giors seem to have been persuaded
Into til" belief that they were n!uuer-
ouS enough to make Il clean sweep OF
the whole country, and to carry every
thing before them. The prcteXt with
which the leaders sought to stir up
the ignorant blacks was that the pro-
mis-" of the ballot made to them was Il
mere sham; that there never WAS any
intention on the part Of the Govcln-
mrilt to .,iNc them the ballot. or the
right to vote; that the Govcrnmc,
nttn':ci to keep up Il large milital,
force Ill the South, in ORDER to keep
them i'll snbjrvt:on and make them
work; and that in consequence OF being
forced to work, they were us 1~ucl
slaves now as ever before They seem
to have been deludcd with the idea
that tn%lr condition would be greatly
hcttcrrd il they could remove their
former masters by violence and take
possession themselves of the planta-
tl"ns and Other property. 10 steps

dN!ll%od to the authorities. and it is

Such an outbreak, however. n;,v be

Will only hc laStcninS his own doom.
