PatLttra school, aad that is, aot to publish their ■firm Tho newspaper press preeeats a rostram from which ovary village orator and efory mooa-struck fanatic In New England aad elsewhere, of ovary color and both sexes, can insult the whole coaatry with their rav laga. Wo roaaoctfally ask the Northern journ aßblwlth whom alone the control of this mat tsrrests, can they aot most effectually abate a groatevil, by stadionely ignoring the sayings aad doings of all persons whose talents and position would not entitle them to be beard by tho whole country on any and every subject of public concern ! Who believes that a dts coarse of Wbbdbm. FaiLLirs, or Fbed Dovolab, or any of the Rev. Abolition Pop crackers of tbe Congregational Church, on any other earthly subject than abolition, would be deemed worthy an audience of thirty mil lions of people, for that is just abont the sixe of the audience which newspaper publications new secure to erery thing they say and do. How many hundreds of great jurists, great think ers, great savans, and great divines may be found in every land who would be glad to have tea thousand hearers for counsels, ideas, BBd knowledge, that would add to tbe stock of human happiness and well being, and yet, whilst these aad such as these can scarcely command au audience of Aye hundred or a thousand readers, every flippant rhetorician, canting fanatic, and gossipping old woman, is forced upon theattention of this whole country by the wide-spread publication of their disgust lngabolition nonsense and blasphemy. To say nothing of tbe positive mischief they effect, of the bad blood they engender, and the conflagra tion aad rain to which firebrands, even in the hands of fools and monkeys, may give rise, why should the press give consequence and position to men and women who are not en titled to it, intellectually, morally, socially or politically I The law can never reach these garrulous incendiaries; but they can be reached and strangled by the refusal of the Nortbera press to notice them in any way or shape. It is not, of course, slavery that they are specially exercised about; it is themselves, it Is to see their names and their siieechcs iv the papers; to exult in the idea that the whole coontty, aud particularly tbe South, hears their impudence and is excited and annoyed at it. Notoriety is the breath of their uostrils : it is their daily bread; their blood and bone, and witboutit they would go out as inevitably as a lamp without oil, or a candle burnt out, leaving nothing but a dirty and offensive wick that could annoy only those in its immediate neighborhood. Why, there isn't another country under heaven where oue out of a thousand of such creatures as have a daily bearing in the New York Herald and other journals of wide circulation, could gather a crowd of a hundred ata corner, or, if he could, would not he committed to jail as a nuisance. Once more we say to aar Northern contem poraries, collapse these I'iiii.i.ir-r , Gari:i- BOris,and other abolition* wind-bags, by never publishing the slightest account of their mis erable speeches or insignificant selves. I nion Meeting In Troy, !«. Y. Tbe late Union meeting at Troy, N. V., at . which General Wool presided, was the larg est ever held in that city. Ou takiig the chair, Gen. WOOL spoke as follows: "I thank >oii for the honor conferred on me, and for the. clieergwith which I have seen ureeted. It IS the home craeiuw siren I prize above all else. 'On laknu the chair so tlattennaly bestowed, it isdus tn >o.i «i well as uitseif to sa'. that I am not here at the partisan of the North, the Beath, the Hast, or the West, nor ef any political organi sation, but simply as a National Conservative. who recosmsea but one country, ami that the f'nit-d Mates; and but one interest, sad that the interest ef the whole people. To preserve the one intset, and to protect and defend the other in all their rinlita and privileges, his ever bucn. and ever will i>e, my aim. object and desire. "The subject which you are called to cnn«ii!ernn this important and interesting occasion, relates In a controversy which h«s been fruitful of discord, hatred and rnaltee between the North and the 80s th for more than forty years. After the 'erunnntien ef the Kansas luiliroilio. I had hoped we should hear no more nl thisagitettagand exciting contro versy. 1 was. however, disappointed, lor in .in evil hour, when least expected by the raid, headed r.y .lohn B'own. into Virginia, either to excite an ia eurrection. or to rob this citizens of their slaves, il wsa revived with a bitterness am! intensit> of feel is* which appears to hate no bounds, and to an extent with aouie who it would seem are not to bs satisfied shert ef a dissolution of the Union. Of this I have no apprehension.—certainly not until our extended and prosperous empire is laid waste, and devastation pervades the land. However tint may be. we are not the less under obligations to put a stop to this apule of discord lest it .should as rmuslv alie.-t the prosperity ef tho whole country". Let us hsal the wounds intlioted by llr.iwn and bis party, and satisfy ths South that while we depre cate the forai at Harper's Ferry, we. as faithful Unionists, are ever ready to defend the Smith, a* wallas the .North, from all interference with iter ria'htaand interests secured by the National coin east, "With these brief remarks, I asain thank you for ths hon,>r conferred on me " Letters were read from Hon. Edwabo Evkbbtt, lion. EuAsrt s Hbooks and others, resolutions passed denouncing "the recent atrocious attempts to disturb the peace of a sister State," and declaring the duty of fidelity to tbe Constitution aud the Union, and elo quent speeches made by various gentlemen. Keturn and Reception of W. tl. Seward. W. 11. Skwakd, U. S. Senator from New Yoik, who was informed by Col. Founts of the plot of John Baowg to excite servile insur rection in the South; who not only endorsed, hot wrote with his own hand a rtcommenda tion of that infamous Hklfkb book, which preaches up the violent and bloody abolition of slavery, iv conformity with Skwakii » fa mous watchword—"An liiKKi'KKssiuLK Con flict; " and who, without dropping a whis per of tbe horrible secret commuted to his keeping by Col. I or it eh, took himself off to Eu rope, to bask in the sunshine of courts aud cas ties, whilst the mine that was expected to co ver every hearthstone in the Southern States with blood and tears was preparing for an explosion, has returned to this country, ami received a warm reception from his lilack lie publican frieuds in ihe city of New York. When Aauon Hi bb, a mau of far superior abilities to W. 11. b>xwabi>, had escaped the penalties of the law for an act of treason in volving far liss crimiuality than that to which SgWAUD was privy in the case of JJbowk, aad accessory in the book of llxi.i' -88, he withdrew himself from the V. States for some years, and, upou uisreiurn, was glad to make his way back to New York in the most quiet possible manner, and to drag out the close of his ill spent lite iv the most complete' obscurity. Why should Siwaiiu, a more ma lignant and contemptible traitor, be welcomed back to New York with honors, and what are we to think of the party which rejoices in sncli a head I Triumph sf the Steam Fire Engine. The New York Herald says that a fire took place in Fulton street, in that city, on Thurs day last, which destroyed property to the amount of half a million of dollars, and but tor the operation of the steam Are engines, the Are would probably have equalled tbe fonflagratmn of Ua%t\ when twenty mil sorth of property was destroyed. Tbe of this Are has removed tbe piejudices old firemen of New York, and tbey now the vast superiority of the steam engine over every other engine yet constructed for tbe extinguishing of flrws in tbe intensity of cold weatbei tbe difference is said to be still more striking, and it was owing to tbe acci dentef tho excessive cold at ibe late Are thai tho firemen generally became convinced of the sasritaofthe steam engine. It is stated that IB Loudon, Cincinnati and Philadelphia, two horses are always in harness, ready to be hitched ia an instant to rge engine.

Every year we hear au outcry for an in- LIQBi i of the United States Army, which is al ready 18,106 strong, more than large enough to take care of the few lingering Indian tribes, our only enemies. The South should never consent to the establishment of such a terrific engine or despotism as a large standing army. The present force, large enough for all useful . purposes, is too small to menace the indepen dence of any section. But increase it largely, and elect a Black Republican President, and the institutions and liberties of the South will be pat iv fearful peril. Conspiracy to Hon and Mt bbool—ln Goot bland county, Va., last week, two white men were lodged in the county jail charged | with conspiring wi th slaves to murder and rob under the following circumstances: Mr. Mor ris Woodward was believed to have a large amount of cash in his house, and one of his servants, who had before been a very sullen negro, went to his master and told him that two white men had proposed to him to robaud murder Mr. W. on a certain night. The negro said lie had apparently agreed to the proposi tion, and if his master would secrete himself at a certain spot la the woods he could over hear the whole pl.it. Accompanied by three or four persons, Mr. Woodward went to the spot and overheard a plan to rob the houses of himself, Mr. Crutchiield, a storekeeper, and another store, and murder the whole party.— The two white men were immediately arrest ed, and are in .jail.
