This is the very con* ditioii of tilings that was predicted rears ntro. when it was prophesied that t\ e snceess of the Abolition policy would inevitably lead to a war between the races which would end only by the j extermination of the inferior and j weaker one. The latest news of the ! progress of the conflict states tha* a . riot had taken place at Aquia Creek on the Ist inst.. between the whites ‘ and hlacks employed there, that u the ( military interfered, killing one color ed man and wounding many others,” and that ‘•fifteen colored men were ta ken to Richmond and turned over to the military authorities/* The next 1 information we have is of a serious | tight in St. Louis, where the negroes i were celebrating the anniversary of! Kmanoinatioh in the British West In* dies. The negroes on the levee, we are told, were driven away by a party of dbehnnred soldiers, and several of 1 the. former were beaten nearly to death. I Coining immcuiatelv after this inte!li\ yonce is the following exasperating 1 report which appears in the Tribune : Thirtv-five employees have been • w discharged from the eras works at St. Louis, and 159 neerroes employed to do iheir work. The negroes receive *JS rent** per day more than was paid • to the whites. The police were sent t to the sent to prevent the whites from 1 mobbing them. Such a policy as this will oniy in* i tend tv the bitter feeling existing to- j wards the unfortunate victims of ab- ; olinnn philanthropy : and while wede- j precute any outrages committed on ! unoffending negroes we cannot but at- 1 tribute the conflict now going on as i the inevitable consequence of Aboli* j rionLm.

But. after noon, the crowd assem bled again, and the excitement had evidently increased and continued to increase until about half past three o’clock, w hen the front doer of the jail building was broken open with r. eiedge hammer, and the crowd rushed into the jail. How they reached the prisoners we did not learn, but they • were soon dragged forth into the street, beaten down with clubs and shot.

We had honed to publish the proceed- j i ings of the Convention which met and , i nominated candidates on Saturday last, j but the Chairman and Secretary both live | in tne country and going out of town with- | out sending in the proceeamgs for publr j cation, our readers must be patient until j our next issue. Ine gentlemen nominated were Messrs. , i reward. Alexander and Mcinryer. A so* 1 ; ries of resolutions were offered by Mr. i seward, over wnicn a spirited debate oc- j ; curred, and participated in by Messrs. , j seward, Hansell. Mcintyer and Benning i B. Moore in opposition to the first three. Col. Mcintyer hnaliy offered another se nes of resolutions as a substitute for those I of Col. beward. and after further discus i sion were adopted and ordered to be pub* i lished. W e regret that, we have not the resolu. | lions for uvoner reference, for we thought iat the time that both, Mr. Moore and Mr. j j Seward, the main disputants before the i Convention were wrong, for they seemed i to occupy opposite extremes on the main 1 subject of dispute in tne resolutions. Mr. i Seward’s resolutions would have the otate j Convention formerly to declare slavery i abolished. Mr.. Moore took issue -upon i this poim—he would have the Convention , ito say nothing about slavery. If slavery l | was already abolished by the Caked States I let it aione and let tne responsibility res* J i upon the United States, To this tee agree ! and without noticing further the discus j sion between these gentleman, proceed to j matte our own remarks on the subject. We agree that the Georgia State Conven | non should not formerly abolish slavery, j Why? Because first, if it is, as alleged, i already abolished by the United State** j ihere can be no necessity or propriety and j tibe omission cannot be criminal. Second, i because if slavery is abolished, it is by act j of the General Government, and the for* i mer owners of such property are under ■ the Constitution entitled ts remuneration, i Geocgia shou and not therefore, do any w.r t to intercept that remuneration, which siu ! would do, were she by convention to do. j clare slavery formally abolished, j lucre are but two ways to anoiish siav* rv. One is by Constitutional atnenfiroerd, which would take away the constitutional t protection of and the other is by | Convention of the Htate. If the Htate of i Georgia desires to abolish slaver? sb* b*s | the right to do so ; hut anc has not done p I Slavery is abolished hut against her will | fK>es ahe now consent to do what. b* = a!* i rejvitv born dope for her’ Most she go tfcmttyh Uw niWfiti irwHifiv of abotirbing wnen obtrery oars not fmfyf T ’ f* lis folly. let the responsibility of the | i nuestion rest where it now is. For the j i admission of States into the Union the . stmmoH of the United States makes no l distinction between free and slave States, much less does it rcouire a State to i abolish slavery where it does not exist. * If tin* new constitution of Georgia cause it mcorpor- I ates no clause abolishing slavery, the an- I swer oi Georgia will.be that slavery does | not exist within her borders. That .slave- j i rv is abolished, however, as the “result of i ! the war” is not true. The act of abolition ■ I I | followed that of war. but it was not the | legitimate “result of the war. • Subjugation l was tne result of tne war. but the abolition )’ ! ot slavery, was ‘ an act of spoliation upon j i l the conauored bv the conouorors. The | i abolition of siavorv could not follow as 1 I the natural result of the war, for slavery , | was a right under the Constitution, and If. i sinverv fell asm result of the war. so all j I the rest of our constitutional rights fe.ll al- j !so as natural results of the war. But this | | could not be white the states remained in j the Union. To loose their constitutional . i ngius the states must no out ot “the Union , | Bui tne Government, declares that they , nave not necn out ol tne Union—only in j rebellion. Thus is correct. The United 1 States were colonies of Great Britain—they j l remained colonies of Great Britain until j 1 their independence was acknowledged, ! notwithstanding they carried on war for . I seven years against the mother country. • We desire Georgia to be immediately re [ instated in the Union—but we also desire I tier also to be reinstated, upon the true principles by which she is governed in her i ; action, and not falsely leave upon her re t cord what properly belongs to the General I Gevernmen:. The Radical. The Radicals of the North calling tbem ! selves the “ Union ‘ party siiow great bit- t i terness towards the South. There is a so called “ Unim party also in. the South., but mere are no marks of identity between j them. Tne Union party of the JSouth are j for the Union, dui upon lair Constiius Gonai principles. The miss-called Union party of t%e North are not satisfied with tiie defeat and Humiliation of the South, j uu: inev are trying to convince the l'resi- I uent by misrepresentation, that the South | has “ rejected'* his comma!ory terms, and j that the South ought therefore to be held i in “ subjection ” by decianng the State® I territoreis, and confiscating all edates over J SIO,OOO for the payment, of the public debt. This is n favorite radical idea.— .They are fearful that the South will recov er from her fallen condition, as the signs indicate, and yet lake a position in theau- Biinistration of the Government that wdl 1 make tnem tremble for the safety of their political dogmas. Hear wiiat Mr, John Cessna of Benusylvaitia, in a late speech i before the Union Convention of that State says the South will do if she gets a chance . “ Already these men in the South are or~ gainzed to send representatives of their own to Congress. Their friends in the North are mllying lonite same purpose.— Allow them to succeed in their scheme and soon the Rebel debt will be assumed, dam j ages paid for Rebel injuries suffered by i the war, and pensions voted to Rebel i wounded and Rebel widows, and after j this load it is confidently expected by I them tnat the good old ship of state will * Igo down and the nation perish. Should] i tins fail, our whole national debt would \ i next be repudiated, and our credit ruin j j cd.” He miys-the South has friends in the ! North rallying for its support. Is he afraid | !of the Northern people also ? Then he j i may indeed tremble, not for the Union, i ! but for the existence of bis radical party, I ’ for the great majority of the people of the j ! United States, opposed to his views, will | i sooner or later inevitably evert brow all i enemies to the Constitution. Among these will fall Mr. John Sessna of Lennsylvania, 1 The Convention before which ho was J speasing was the Lennsyivarua so-called s Union Convention.
