The Slumbering Volcano,

r. ~ .4r \ .
Col. John Forsyth thus writes to the
Mobile Register:
Political assassinations can never be
justified in the cole of morals, but they
are an inseparable accompaniment of rpvo-
luton aud the tyrannical use of irresponsi,
Bile power in certain of their stages. Men
hopelessly pressed to the earth, without the
power of organized resistance, have in all
times obeyed the instinct OF the worm, and
turnfd upon the heel Of the ,oppressor.
That was not such an era when Booth
struck his blow, as he thought. " for the
good Of Rome" He was not a man made
desperate by felt tyranny. but an enthu-
siast, whose brain was turned by his coun-
trys woes. But the normal period Of ass
assinatio u may yet be reached in the his
tory Of this revolution. speak not now
Of the South. but the whole country, ard
can assure you Of my belief that the un,
sated passions of the North are nearer to
it than those in the South, which have
been chastened by adversely and endurance.
ard their fever cooled by a copious flow Of
blood. But ! hold nothing to be more GER
tain than this-that if Radicalism persists
in its mad designs to the end, there will be
civil war in the North, sooner or later.
Some man, or some unforeseen spark, will
be developed, to " fire the Northern heart
and precipitate o revolution" Somewhere
or somehow the coal of FIRE will be found
to scorch to the quick through the popular
turtles back. And when / think Of the
race ard traditions Of the people upon
whom this Radical Congress is trying its
experiments Of despotism, wonder mt the
hardhood and daring Of the experimeuters,
Blood will tell, and be sure that, sooner or
later, the commngling streams Of the fight
ing races of the earth which meet in Amer
lean veins, will assert themselves aud the
night Of such men to be free.
