royal commission in their investigation Of the circum'
connected with the late revolt in that island It
is said that the reality of the plot tho part Of the
negroes murder the whites and the better class OF
coored inhabitants and 70 connscae their property has
been fully established.
The secsssionists OF the south and the
Negro Worshippers OF tho North.
All the disasters brought upon the country
by the radicals of the two sections can
not cure them of their heresies or arrest
their revolutionary and destructive course
The results of their theories and agitations
are seen in the slaughter Of half million
of men; in the thousands Of armless, leg
less and broken down soldiers which we
see daily all over the country; in the destruc-
ton of six to ten thousand millions worth of
property; In the accumulation of debt, ma
tional, State and municipal, of near four thou
sand millions, and in all the other evils and
sufferings that afflict the country. This is the
cost of negro fanaticsm on one hand and Of
secession dogmatism on the other A few years
ago the country was prosperous and happy in
the highest degree. Nothing in the history of
nations could be compared with it. So light
was the hand of government upon us that we
hardly felt it The negroes even, about whom
all these troubles have been caused, were on
the whole the happiest laboring population in
the world. Yet the impracticable and crazy
cessionists of the South and the fanatical
negro worshippers Of the North were not salts
fed till they plunged us into tho vortex of

We might have supposed that whom the
dreadful consequences of their agitation were
thus realized they would have been shocked at
their insane conduct and have become more
reasonable. But it is not So Like the savage
beast Of the forest, which, when 1t tastes blood,
becomes more ferocious these rabid sectional
politicians are more wild and reckless than
ever. In the South, amidst the desolatioH
which secessonism has brought upon that fair
country, the authors of the evil still dare to
raise their he ads The sight of the misery and
ruin they have caused has not had the effect of
curing some Of the secessionists of their beresy.
They do not, it is true, think of making any
organized resistance to the government again,
for they know that would be utterly futile, but
they show in their conduct and language that
their hearts are tainted. In feeling they are
inimical to the government. We admit that the
best and most intelligent portion Of the people
people who sincerely desire to be good and
loyal citizens-are not so, and that the incurablo
secessionists are comparatively few in number,
as the extremists on this side are; but these
few are doing . great deal Of mischief. In
stead Of modestly retiring from public view for
the good of their country and allowing tho
Union men, or at least those who are less OBJ
noxious, 10 manage public affairs, they thrust
themselves forward to obtain office, to become
legislators, or to control the press, exhibiting
at the same time their old sectional feeling and
secession proclvities. Ii behooves the Southern
people to frown down all thcr old az tatipg poll
ticians, and particularly the crazy ire-eaters of
the press. They should not allow any of that
old set TO make themselves prominent but
should compel them to act upon the example
recently set by Alexander stephens.
The other extreme faction which has been
instrumen. in producing the disasters We are
suffeiing-the negro worshippers Of the
NorE-are far more dangerous TO the
country than the other, because they are
in position to lie 40. They have been
successful over their antaeonistic but fellow
agitators, and they are intoerant and defiant.
The negro mania RACES in their brain as fierce
or fercer than before. They are not con-
tented with making the negroes free and
placing them in situation to elevate them
selves in the scale of civilization; but they are
resolved to legislate specially for them, and to
make them a powerful political element or
machine in the State. In comparison the poor
whites, the people of their own race, are oi
little cons, quence in the estimation of these
negro worshippers. The negro is the idol OF
such men as Stevens, Sumner and their radical
conircres. And while the Southern radicals
attempted to destroy the Union to keep the
negro in slavery, these extremists of the North
have hundred times declared that they would
rather destroy the Union than not raise the
negro TO the position they have sought for him.
In the words of the President, their purpose as
to the negro is different, but as to the govern
mcnt the same. Each determine TO destroy il
rather than not gain their ends. They are
traitors; and il may yet be the duty Of the
President to prove against them the force Of
his declaration that treason IL crime and
must be punished. Let these fomenters of .
new rebellion not depend too much upon the
impunity that the other rebellion had in Con-
gress till the last moment. The man who now
occupies the Presidential chair Is of a different
quality from old Buchanan.
