THE END NOT IET-JUDGE DOUGLAS
THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE AND ITS
INVOCATIONS TO MOB VIOLENCE.

| THE END NOT YET-JUDGE DOUGLAS
| THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE AND ITS
| INyocATioNs TO MOB VIOLENCE.
| In this country there seems to be some fatal
| ty connected with that ancient and noble name
| Tribune. 1t is favorite name for newspa-
pers, and is by many of them sadly abused
| The three most rank and foul Abolition and
incendiary sheets in this country have disgraced
The name, by assuming it. These three sheets
are the New York Tribune, the Detroit Tribune
and the Chicago Tribune. Each of this de-
graded triumvirate is attempting to outstrip its
fellows in abandoned proaigacy fanatical vio-
Ience, gross scurrility, and mad-dog phrenzy.
Just at this time, the unenviable pre-eminence
is enjoyed by the Chicago Tribune. Its abuse
OF Judge Douglas, its defamation Of all the
supporters of his Nebraska bill, its attempts
tor months past to get up excitement against
him at his home, its invocations Of mob violence
its successful efforts to prevent him from ad
dressing the people on the lst of September,
and its frantic rejoicings over the disgracefu
result of the Chicago meeting entitle it to the
! place of superior ignominy
But as if all these things were not base and
vile and criminal enough, it publishes the fol-
lowing Infamous appeal to mob violence in its
issue of the 4th of September:
DOUGLAS Nor YET SATISFIED. - Stephen
| A. Douglas is not yet satisfied with the rebuke
and Reputation which himself and his doc
| trines received at the hands of our citizens on
Friday night. He has resolved to make Sec
ond and more desperate effort to svindicate
himself" He will attempt for the second time.
| TO force his Nebraska swindle down our throats,
at o'clock this afternoon at Dearborn Park.
1t is given out that he will also attempt, then
and there, to excuse his efforts to defeat the
River and Harbor bill, and thus prevent the
repairing of the piers and our harbor, whereby
the lives of hundreds Of our mariners are yearly
| perled. This issue he lodged entirely on Fri
day night.
| With great cunning, the second attempt has
been appointed at an hour when the heat will be
excessive, and when the mechanics and working
men of our city will be busy at their several
vocations Nevertheless, it ioH not acin! Do
| not permit this scheme to circumvent you
| Leave for two hours, your workshops and your
| labor and turn out once more to give final
| blow to the Traitor This will be the last
| struggle! Defeated in this, he will never raise
his head again.
The Douglas cabal, if the crowd at the Park
is small, as they anticipate, and their own num-
bers preponderate, intend to offer series of res
olutions, endorsing him to the fullest extent
CITIZENS AND SAILORS, Turn Out! DO not
permit this to be done! You CAN PREVENT 1T
AND YoU WILL DO 1T.
-Four o'clock is an hour when the loafers and
grog-shop toadies of the city are quite at their
leisure, and is likewise time when they are apt
to be in very good spirits, by means of very bad
spirits being in them, but it is also busy hour
with the industrious and working portions of
the community. Notwithstanding this, the love
OF liberty and the honor Of our city is more
controlling motive with them, than considera-
tons OF ease or gain, and they will turn out.
Let us give the Traitor and his schemes final
coup de grace, and he will trouble us no more
The Abolitionists talk loudly about freedom,
and yet they deny to an eminent citizen of this
republic, one of the essential elements of free
dom-the freedom of speech. They complain
of tyranny, and yet they practice it in its most
revolving forms. They talk meekly Of peace,
and yet rave with all the violence of insanity.
They declaim about religion and philanthropy,
and yet endeavor to raise up mobs that may
end in fearful carnage and monstrous bruta-
| lities.
1t is much to be apprehended that a second
mob thus invited, and stimulated by the Abo-
| lition leaders of Chicago, cannot pass off
| peacefully. The Tribune states positively that
Judge Douglas has given notice that he will
make another attempt to address the people of
Chicago; but as the Times, Nebraska news
paper says nothing about it, it may be regarded
as doubtful. But if the attempt is made, and
the Abolition rufians attend with the purpose
Of breaking up the meeting, and drowning the
voice Of the speaker, they will no doubt arm
themselves with murderous weapons Should
there be resort TO those weapons and blood
be shed, every drop Of that blood will be on
the hands Of the ruiians, rioters, and their
instigators. Senator Douglas has a right to
speak. His fellow-citizens have rightto hear
him. Those who do not wish to hear him,
should stay away. But when they form them
selves into an armed mob TO break up the
meeting, insult the speaker, and intimidate
their fellow-citizens, who have assembled peace
fully, they commit high handed and brutal
outrage, for which no justification can be
offered, the consequences Of which must, and
should fall on their guilty heads.
