EVE, 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.

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.

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.

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.

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. d. s only NEW IPIRMI MOORE & DUNNAHOO, GROCERS l T* HE! 0 OR5| DOT* *4*1 irfri'd sssl nronl* i lcis* linW| ol 'IS I ihe^'l BISER' A full Assortment of FAMILY SUPPLIES.

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.
