One of the most alarming conspiracies of which any record has been made, was announced to the public by the Editors of the Richmond Whig, on Thursday evening, the 4th inst. It appears from their announce ment, that combinations of men, have.beea formed jn every part of the United States, ail united by the sro principle, whose " main object seems to be to tnprocure a general emancipation of slaves through out the United States. "This alarm (IP it be well fjunld) should rouse our good citizens to a 'sense of thrir danger. Can they sleep when the clouds are withering blackness, darkening our horizon witlflhe furies f tli tempest ready to burst upon them, " in the twinkling of an eyel" Will . men sleep at such a crisis ? llar Hear the alarm ! ! from the D.iihj Richmond Whig, of Thursday evening, April ith. TEMPERANCE SOCIETIES. We have never b-eu the advocates of these Socie ties, considering them calculated to produce solitary drunkenness, an 1 thus do Jar more injury to society than the evil it was intended to remedy. But some developements have lately taken place, which have opened our eyes to a deep and settled design enter tained by that fraternity, between whom there is a link thouifhout the Uhki, of which we had formerly no conception. It appears by an article in the Uni ! ted States Telegraph, too long for insertion here, that thev are at this.moment engaged in political specu lations of a deep and important character. Their main object seems to be to procure a general eman cipation of the slaves throughout the United States, wherein they a.t in concert with the several papers which we felt it it our duty to notice last week. 1 i We abhor slavery, and would leave nothing un done which might be done honestly, to procure its uViolitioii. But such mentis to procure it, can never niee? our approbation. Can the real object, of any Kuciyty be any propVr one, when that society profes- hMutie 0'.)aci, Having ni vimv ai ine s-uiie nine, uuo- a totally different one f We think not. Tlierc is no occasion to conceal an ooieet wnicn is to conceal an omeet winch j;u lu!)!e, and it is not in the nature of man to do it. i )I vstfiv is always an evidence of conscious guilt. 'l lift Society it seems, are in tne iiamt ot sending I about political tracts, under the pretence that they are treatises upon Temperance. Surely all of those who contribute their fun Is to the support of this socie ty cannot be aware of the end to which it is appro priated ; to produce disquiet and probably insurrect ion among our slaves, and a constant repetition of the Southampton scenes. The pretended objet of the Society is lau.lable in the highest 'degree the real one, it such as is represeutented, is damaable. Let oar t" -II )-v citizens keep a bright look-out. Who win, alter reaJiug tins, wiii not "keep a bright I oic out ?" For the conspiracy is without a parallel in the history of the world, in its extent, era lr.icmg citizens m every part ot t!us country, antl miiiv thousands in England, Scotland, Ireland, Swe den u 1 Germany; in the character and influence of the conspirators, for members of Congress and of the Cabinet, our most eminent Jo Iges, Lawyers, our most Icarue I an f distinguishe 1 Physicians, Ministers ot the Gospel, and Farmers, and men of influence of every profession are engaged in it. Look at the dan ger ! When imminent peril stares us in the face, it U not wise to shut our eyes upon it. Remissness at such a crisis may be ruin. Look at facts. More than one million and five hundred th njsand (i our countrymen have ceased to use ardent spirits have enlisted in this conspiracy, and "their main ob ject," as surely as the Wtiig speaks the truth, is to break ip and overturn the deep foun dations of society throuiout the Southern and South Western States! More than one thousand and five hundred of our ;u ltrvmen have ceased to make ardent spirit, -and joined the conspiracy; therefore "their main object" in this matter, is to abolish slavery ! More than four thousand of our countrVmen. for merly engaged in the traffic of ardent spirit, have ceased to sell it therefore "their main object" is to ' Polish slavery ; and their conduct in this matter-pro- j raotes solitary drunkenness i . j :?!!r?u , ,g,xhun(,redmer can. mxi i in nni rnrrit nr.innt omnt i-hn.m i sail to every diiue, and some of them circumnavi o-ate otHcers and crews who man them Mo tarv )re th:in fi.r i.

More than a hundred thousand aie embodied in it in Cir o: in; and in Switzerland. Germany, and Sweden its combinations are becoming powerful. We have further proof near home". In this citv tiC aw oeiween one ana two tnousana or our citi zens engaged in this conspiracy ; in the single coun ty of Fluvanna there are as many more all embodied, npe for action! In short, combinations have risen or are rising in almost every part oforjr Commonwealth; distinguished Lawyers, Physicians, Judges, Ministers rthe Gospely-and-vvealthy .Farmery manj of whom . lve 'rge plautat ions and numerous familiesoTsTaves, a this State, in North and South Carolina, and Geor a, are lending the whole weight of their influence to support the Temperance plot to abolish slavery d produce solitary drunkt nness! Will not citizens 'ake, lefore the volcano, now burning andfaging ; ne ith them," explodes in all its fury, sending torth !!rsofiu. fiery lava to desolate our fair inhtritauce ? ' loes not see that these Temperance conspira fs are a great injury to our country and that hard akera and those who will get democratically drunk m eUoh men are hean j to co n mend temperance) reKur most valuable citizens ! the most worthy of ?mt eqnfideiice and the rnbst eminently qualified vhch binds (he whole-fraternity together ; Df lW guilt ig not evident from the above, more tenfe to.conviciUhern.tTttlv hkve "wa cccaittttioiw, all eimihr ia wo importtm are eanste i in tne conspiracy arc extending it thro' the world, ;uvi irrthe mean time by refusing to take spirit on board, are provaeinr"solit.arv A 1 . inor is mis an mi respects. For example the subject of slavery is not mentioned or alluded to, in one of them or in" any of the laws and rulep of these conspiracies ; and they all have one article binding their roemberyp abstain from the use of ardent spirit. And is not this genera! character of these! documents unquestionable evi dence that their "main object is to abolish slavery ?! If this is not their object, why tlo they not tell the j public in their laws that they have no concealed plot to emancipate thpslaes, or overt urn the governments of the nations in the moon I ! II tney ?o not uesign to do these things, why do they not tell the world sO? There is still more proof." The meetings of these societies are all held in public; every body is invited to attend them ; their proceedings are open not in a corner but before the world ; and the emancipation ofjslaves is never mentioned or hinted at, in the speeches and reports of these meetings. Is there not here the clearest evidence that their " main object" is " the general emancipation of slaves throughout the Uiiited States?" Is not this design as clear as day light ? Is it not demonstrated ? 'The reader we trust will pardon our folly in noti cing the alarms of our neighbors; but really, if the above arguments do not prove beyond dispute the insurrectionary designs of Temperance Societies, the announcement of the Whig is a weak, silly and ridiculous piece of slander. We are astonished that Satan knows no better than to permit a most silly and pitiful calumny of thts sort to be uttered against his opposers. - If he is reduced to paltry devices of this kind, to keep up hard drinking, his cause is ruined. He will find none to aid him except among the dregs of society. A few tales of this kind, circu lated bv the Unite ! Stales Telegraph and the Rich mond Whig would spread shame and confusion among the remnants of the topers, from Maine to Florida. No body in his sober moments can be cre dulous enough to swallow a fabrication of this caste. But what was the occasion of this mighty alarm ? Why, it appears by the Whig of last Saturday, that its Editors have seen a certain article in the United States Telegraph, containing strictures on a phillipic against slavery which appeared in the " Genius of Temperance, Philanthropist and People's Advo cate." Mark the circumstance. The article against slavery, which has convicted the Temperance Socie ty of treason, appeared in " the Genius of Temper ance:" a paper devotitd lo Temperance, Female Education, Magdalen Reform, Abolition of Slavery, T "v l r : v i I i uumesuc iiiiu x-oreiu ivws, aim sunury oiner oo jects, and which has no more connexion with Tem perance Societies as their organ than Paul Pry and the Whig Duff Green, to be sure, asserts the con trary and sriys that the Genius of Temperance is published "under the auspices of the Temperance Society;" but the assertion is not true; it is a fabri cation, wholly unfounded. We receive the Genius of Temperance regularly : It is a truly respectable journal, conducted by Messrs. Goodell & Hines, but it does not pro I ess o be the organ of any Temperance society or societies. From " Sketches of Western Adventure." About the middle of July, 178 seven Wy andotts crossed the Ohio, a few miles above Wheeling and committed great depredations ! upon the southern shore, killing an old man whom they found alone in his cabin, and spreading terror throughout the neighborhood. Within a few hours after their retreat, cijht men assembled from the different parts of the small settlement and pursued the enemy with great expedition. Among the most active and efficient of the party were two brothers, Adam and Andrew Poe. Adam was particularly popular. In strength, action and hardihood, he had no equal being finely formed, and inured to all the perils of the woods. They had not followed the trail far, before they become satisfied that the depredators were conducted (by Big Foot, a renowned chief of the Wyan dott tribe, who derived his name from the im mense size of his feet. His height considera bly excee led six feet, and his strength was represented as Herculean. He had also five brothers, but little inferior to himself in size and in courage, and as they generally went in company they were the terror of the country. Adam Poe was overjoyed at the idea of measu ring his strength with that of so celebrated a chief, and urged the pursuit with a keenness which soon brought him into the vicinity of the enemy. For the last few miles the trail had led them up the southern bank of the Ohio, where the footprints in the sand were deep and obvious, but when within a few hundred yards Qf tne point at which the whites as well as the of crossing, it sud- - denly diverged from the stream, and stretched along a rocky ridge, forming an obtuse angle with its former direction. Here Adam halted for a moment, and directed his brother and the other young men to follow the trail with pro- I per caution, wnile ne rumsen stui aanereu to the river oath, which led" through clusters of willows directly to the point where he sup posed the enemy to lie. Having examined the priming of his gun, he crept cautiously through the bushes, until he had a view of the point of embarcation. Here lay two canoes, empty and apparently deserted. Being satisfi ed, however, that the Indians were close at hand, he relaxed nothing of his vigilance, and quickly gained a jutting clinY whicn nung lm- 1 I "WW 1 meaiately over the canoes. Hearing a low murmur, below, he peered cautiously over, and beheld the object of his search. The gigantic Big Foot lay below him in the shade of a willow, and was talking in a low deep tone to another warrior, who seemed a mere pigmy bv his side. Adam cautiouslv drew back, and cocked his gun. The mark was iair--the distance did not exceed twenty- .et, ami his aim was unerring. Raising his ruie siowiy and cautiously , he took a stea ay aim at Big Foot's breast, and drew the trig ger. His gun Hashed. Both Indians sprung tuvneineet with a deep intriection of sur prise, ana lor a single second all three stared upu omer. This inactivity,' however, was soon over. Ada n was too much hamper- euDvine nusnes to retreat, and setting Ms me upon wecMto the die, he sprung over the bushesjyhich had sheltered himfand summon ing a,, ms powers leaped boldly down the pre cipice and alighted upon the breast of Big fcootwith a shock which Km- hm o th earth. At he moment of the contact," Adam had also thrqwn his right arm around the neck oi me smaller inaun. so that all threa came to the earth together. At that moment a hftr.n fire was heard among the 'bvehes atove, aa- KEWBEUN, FRIDAY, MAY 3, 1833. pouncing that the other partie-s were" engaged, j ou me iriooeiow were two busy to attend to any thing but themselves. Big Fooot was for an instant stunned by the violence of the shock and 'Adam was enabled to keep them both down! But the exertion necesjsary for that purpose was so great that he had no leasure time to use hrs knife. Big Foot quickly recovered, and without attempting to rise, wrapped hir long , arras around Adam's bod), and pressed him to his breast with the crushing force of a Boa Constrictor! ' Adam, as we have already remarked, was a powerful man, and had seldom encountered his equal, butnever had he yet felt an embracelike that) of Big Foot. He instantly relaxed his hold of the small Indian, who sprung to his feet. Big Foot then ordesed him to 4 run for his tomahawk, which lay within ten steps, and kill the white man, while he hejd him in his arms. Adam seeing his danger, struggled manfully to extricate himself from the folds of the giant, but in vain.-i-The lesser Indian ap proached him with his uplifted tomahawk, but Adam watched him closely, and as he was about to strike, gave him a kick so sudden and vio lent, as to knock the tomahawk from his hand, and send him staggering back into the water. Big Foot uttered an exclamation in a tone of deep contempt at the failure of-his companion, and raising his voice to its highest pitch, thun dered out several words in the Indian tongue, which Adam could not understand, but sup posed to be a drection for the second attack. The lesser Indian now again approached, care fully shunning Adam's heels, and making ma ny motions with his tomahawk, in order to de ceive him us to the point where the blow would fall. This lasted for several seconds, until a thundering exclamation from Big Foot, com pelled his companion to strike. Such was Adam's dexterity and vigilance, however that he managed to receive the tomahawk in a glancing direction upon his left wrist, wound ing him deeply butnotdisabling him. He now made a sudden and desperate effort to free him.- self from the arms of the giant and succeeded. ; instantly snatching up antic tor the Indian could not venture to shoot for fear of hurting his companion) he shot the lesser Indian through the body. But scarcely had he done so when Big Foot arose, and placing one hand upon his collar and the other upon his hip, pitched him ten feet into the air, as he himself f i ,i v. , u i L-u a i r ii would have pitched a child. Adam fell upon is back at the edge of the water, but before his antagonist could spring upon him he was again upon his feet, and stung with rage at the gigantic antagonist with a fury which for a ime compensated for inferiority of strength. It was now a fair fist fiffht between therm for n the hurry of the struggle, noithoi hod lnu: ure to draw tneir Knives. Aoam s supenoj activity and experience as a pugilist, gave him great advantage. The Indian struck awkward ly, and finding himims'elf rapidly dropping to leeward, he closed with his antagonist, and again hurled him to theground. They quickly rolled into the river, and the struggle continued with unabated fury, each attempting to drown the other. The Indian being unused to such violent exertion, and having been much injured by the first shock in his stomach, was unable to exert the same powers which had given him such a decided superiority at first; and Adam seizing him by the scalp lock, put his heod un- der water, and held ltthere, until the faint strug- gle of the Indian induced him to believe that he was drowned, when he relaxed his hold and attempted to draw his knife. The Inian, how- ever, to use Adam's own expression, "had onlv eenpossommgr He instantly regained his feet, and in his turn put his adversary under, In the struggle, both were 'carried into the current, beyond their depth, and earn was compelled to relax his hold and swim for his : law of nations. The said board shall have a Secre life. There was still one loaded rifle upon tary, versed in the French and Italian languages, t, li,vro r,,l ,.fie75.tri hard in ordpr to reach ; and a clerk, both to be appointed by the President, by it, bdt the Indian proved to be a most expert swimmer, and Adam seeing that he should be too late, turned and swam out into the stream, intending to dive and thus frustrate his enemy's intentions. At this instant, Andrew, naving heard that his brother was alone in a struggle, with two Indians, and in great danger, ran up hastily to the edre of the bank above, in order to assist him. . Another white man followed im closely, and seeing Adam mlhe river, co- vered with blood, and swimming rapidly from shore, mistook him for an Indian and tired upon him, wounding him dangerously in the snouiaer. Mara lurnea, ana seeing ins unnn- er, called loudly upon him to shoot the big Indian upon the shore." Andrew's gun, how- ever, was empty, having fust been dis r WWed. Fnrt.Anatlv.

It is said that the news of this calamity threw the whole tribe into mourning. Their remarkable size, their courage, and their superior intelligence, , gave them immense influence, which greatly to their credit, was generally exerted on the side of humanity. Their powerful interposition, had saved many prisoners from the stake, and had given a milder character to the warfare of the v ... Indians m that part of the country. A chief of the same name was alive in that part of the country so late as 1792. but whether a brother or a son of Big Foot, is not known. Adam Foe recovered of his wounds, and lived many years after this memorable conflict but never forgot the tremendous "hug" which he sustained in the arms o(jBg Foot. BY AUTHORITY.
