There vas no room in Virginia for any dis

the Convention itself confessed by taohos

Disdaining defence Of Virginia upon the
questions of humanity and henesty-for
which her record is quite as fair as those OF
any of her northern sisters-We may point
to the Convention OF Africans as the oest
answer to the intermeddling inquiries OF the
Ito say the LEAST foolish negrophilists. Inc
negroes evidently did not see how their con-
1ition was to be materially be1tered save by
their own Industry and their own devotion

OF the projected insurrection in Georgia.
the reader has probably seen enough. we
doubt not it is the invention OF some wretch-
ed white rascas who have been living ny
fraud and deception Of the blacks. IL was
set on foot urquestionably to mature some
new southern horrors With which TO hre tue
northern mind against the South. 1t failed,
and will probably react upon its inventors.
That affair, however, is quite Instructive.
The confessions of some of the captured per-
sons show the tendency to sensualism and
brutality of the African mind in its most un'
RESTRAINED and vicious condition. SET on by
= depraved whites, they stop not at unim1gl'
pablc horrors, as was the case in st. Domln'
%. where, by the uefarious schemes OF the
English and French, it seemed that in The
African slaves the demons Of hell had been
uncbaiued and let loose upon the island to
pei form deeds Of brutality without parallel
in America.
But Georgia rules with wisdom and self.
pos session. and the barbarous scenes pro-
jec,ed by the depraved whites and negroes
are prevented. The scheme of getting NJ
stories for frightening the North from its
propriety and for firing northern people
against the South entirely failed. Let Us
hope that the day is past for the manulac'
ture of such capital to take effect on north
ern elections, and We do not think it viii
return.
At the same time let the southern people
. beware, keep their councils, and by no in
di>cretion permit the schemes for reviviDg
SEC ional bate, and stimulating the display OF
negropailtsu, make Roadway in The South.
