Abolition Emissaries.
Tho dovolopmonts which nro con
stantly coming to light loavo no room
for doubt that abolition emissaries aro
scattered throughout tho Southern
States, tampering with our nogroes and
instigating them to acts of thoft, incen
diarism, and murder. Scarcoly a pa
per roaches this ofllco without some no-
count of the discovery of tho operations
of theso villains.
In our last wo published an account
of a band culliug themselves Gipsiesin
Wilcox Co..Ala., hurrying a coflln, con
taining arms and amunition. Wo give
to day some particulars of tho excite
ment in Talladega,* Ala. Wo found in
an oxehango tho other day tho state
ment that a planter in Mississippi hav~
ing occasion to chastiso a negro, dotccl-
od a bowio knifo on his person, nml. tip;
on sflTWfITTngTTio rest of his nogroes ho
discovered twenty similarly arm-
Another gentloihan in the same
State while attempting to arrest one of
his negro men, was literally cut to pit
ccs by him. Lately a trunk was receiv
ed at West Point, Miss., from Mobile
Ala., and on being opened was found
to contain abolition documents. The
merchant in tho latter placo from
,vhom Iho trunk was purobascd,opened
itbers in bis store and discovered sev
eral copies of the same in them. These
trunks had never been opened since
wero purchased of a Northern
house.
In Mompbis, Toun., a few days ago, a
number of anti-slavery publications wero
found seatterod in the streets; and the
Appeal says there are soveral Abolition
ists in that city who have boon enticing
tho negroes from their masters, The
same paper gives an account of the ar
rest of some of tho fugitives in the wood:
and tho discovery in a hollow tree, of a
quart bottle'or prtlson, which tho ne
groes admitted had been given to them
by a white man who endeavored to in
duce them to use it in killing tho
whites.
Wr do not relate theso facts to crcat
alarm, for there is no cause for.it nmr;
but there will hr unless wo take tho nec
essary precautions which prudence and
discretion suggest. Our object is to in
cite our citizens to tho strictest vigilance,
for wo cannot resist the conclusion that
there is an organized hand at work, pre
paring to carry out tlioir villainous
schemes. The indications are that they
havo been in onr midst, may ho here
now, and certainly will he again. We
want to see them taught a lesson, not
that they trout forget t hut that they cant
Lnu<».In’s Detent Certain.
Heretofore we hail little hope that tho
lllack Republican candidal could he
he defeated. With tho opponents of
that-pnrty divided and belligerent we
hmv no possible chance to avoid the dis
grace of a Black Republican Adminis
tration. But our fears, have vanished,
for the defeat of Lincoln is now fix-
Fivo questions — Four of which n
Breckinridge Democrat will answ
er, nml the Fifth he will not.
Qkm.—How do you know that yoilr
party is in favor of tho doetrine of pro
tection to slavery In tho Territories?
Ins.—Bceauso they have declared
cloarly and unequivocally in the plat
form, "that it is tho duty of tho Feder
al Government, in all ita departments,
to protect, when noccssary, tho righto of
persons and property in tho Terri to-
NUMBER 43
Qmm.—When will bo necessary for
tho Federal OovornipVnt to afford this
protection?
i*.~Whon, in thtrlajlgungo ol the
platform, tho right to prtjrorty in slaves
is “destroyed or impaireftjby;. Territori
al Legislation.” fc*
Qurt.—Has not .jffi&flfinj* T.ogisla-
impaired tho right to property in
slaves ?
Ans.-Yos.
Ques.—Is it not then necessary now for
the Federal Government to protect the
slave owner in his rights.
A ns.—Yes, •
Qurs.—Wljy, then did Breckinridge
Democratic Senators vote down the res
olution introduced by Senator Brown of
Mississippi,declaring it to be neecssary now
for the Federal Government to protect
o rights of the slaveholder?
Wo hnv5 never boon able yet to get
an answer to this last interrogatory. It
any of onr cotoinpomrio* can meet with
hotter success wo hope they will give us
as curly as possible tho result of their
investigation. Wo are anxious to hear
that question answered. Fcrh&p* it
can he done; if so our Breckinridge
friends here are not posted.
Excitement in Tnlladcgn, Ain.
Recently symptoms of a negro insur
rection wero discovered near Talladega,
Ala., and three or four suspicious whito
•non and several negroes wero found
completely armed. Some of tho whito
scoundrels were arrested together with
a number of negroes. Wo have been
shown a private lotter from a gentle
man in that pl«co to another here,
which says they are in tho midst of
great excitement. On tho night of
tho 27th, tho keys of tho jail wero do-
mnnded of the jailer by the citizens,
and next morning a whito man was
found hanging to a china tree—dcatl.—
Tho next day another was taken out
for trial, buj tt was postponed until the
following ,&Uurelay. Tho correspond
ent snys‘.ilt| jmlicftUot^are that a
that some of the white villains havo at
lust boon caught and hung. Wc had
rather seo one of them swinging to a
than a hundred negroes. It is
generally the enso that tho abolition
•misinrics come into our midst and sow
tho wind, and then escape and leave
tho poor, deluded negroes to reap the
whirlwind. Thoro,are hundreds mor
left. Let us he on tiio watch for them.
Tint Tti'tii prosi Toon ns.—The Au>
gusta True Democrat commenting on
lion. Robert Toombs’ spooch in that
lace recently, has tho following:
Gov. Johnson had said that protec
tion was right, hut “theso bonds” (in
Mr. Toombs’ language, crossing his
s as lie uttered it) "these bonds
ptevent mo from claiming it.” Mr.
Tbombs scattered the bonds to tho wind,
showed that non-intervention was not
inconsistent with protection, that no
bargain nmdo by politicians, no resolu
tions of conventions, could bartor uwuy
a sacred constitutional right.

ssnry that ho should
l’onusylvuiini to ne-
romplish this en«l, hut this could not
ho effected so long ns the friends of
Bell, Breckinridge nnd Douglas in those
States wero nt rayed in hostility against
each other. Many of the more eonser-
vutivc ot them have long been in favor
of this cond.illation and worked faith
fully to bring it about.
A few weoks ago the news reached
us that the Bell nml Douglas patties
had coalesced, hut that tho supporters I
of Breckinridge still obstinately refused |
to join them.* The -Journal of Commerce
one of the ablest and most conservative
Northern papers,-and the only one wo
boliovo, in New York city, that suppor
ted Mr. Breckinridge, had been ear
nestly ami constantly urging its friends
to unite with tho opponents of Black
Republicanism and onsui’o its overthl ow
For a while the prospect of this union
was dark, and tho election of Lincoln
in consequence thereof seemed certain.
But the wclcomo tidings has at last boon
heralded that tho Broekinridgo lcadors
have finally consented to eo-operato,
and tho prediction of Ex-Prcs'dent Ty
ler that liievote of New York will ho
cast against Abraham Lincoln, will be
verified.
In 1850 tho vote of Fremont was 270,
007, and tho combined voto of Buchan
an and Fillmoro 320,482, making an
anti-Republican majority of 44,475;
this will bo rather increased than di
minished.
Wo congratulato tho lovers of the
Union and tho Constitution in this re
sult which is now suro. Wo verily bo
liovo that Black Republicanism is
n its last agony. It will soon bo buri

Mv Dear j *
1 received your letter, nml tho truth

of replying to tho political part ot it.—
You romark that you havo for many

As to polities, I am prepared to say
