THE TRIBUNE REBUKED BY AN ACCOMPLISH

The Louisville Journal has zcalousy co-opcrated with
the New York Tribune in opposing the Nebraska BILL but
rebuke its acous and revolutionary counsels to the mi
norty with decided severity When the Journal is forced
speak the reasonable conduct Of the Tribune in the
language below it is pretty conclusive that its has
been grossly wicked We quote from the Journal fol-
lows: .aa
The editor Of the Tribune is coward with his pen,
he evidently shrnks from expressing clearly and uneqnivo
caly all that he in the preceding paragraphs He il
afraid Of the responsibility Of unequvocal language He
talks about the extreme rights of the minority Of
the House. without saying whether he by their
rights the right Of secession from the body to which
they belong, the right to declare final separation be-
the North and the South the right to defeat tho
majority by to the budgeon the dirk and the ps
toll He procams that the time Of argument and appeal Is
past and that action alone remains without yepturng TO
say what Of action it is that he considers alone
naming. STILL the meaning that he intends TO imply ia toll
erably obvious through all his half audacious hamd
bsge He refers 10 congressional expediens for the
defeat the pending BILL for he speaks Of the protracted
struggle which his contemplated 70 ertraeyis
afire proceedings will lead, and calls for meet
ing Of the enemies Of the Nebraska bill from the whole
North at Washington city 10 offer aid and comfort 10
the opponents of the bill In Congress, and emerg
o. may reqrf No need be told that invocation to
the whole North TO assemble forthwith Washington for
giving aid and comfort by extra legislative proceedings
the opponents Of the Nebraska BILL and for acting further
emergencies may require u intended invocation to
the northern assemble in the District of Columbia
for the purpose OF using whatever intimidation whatever
physical force be- found necessary defeat the win Of
congressional majority Let the maker of such invocation
proceed he Is brave in action he is council TO
II into effect Let him pat himself the head Of all the hoss
willing respond TO his and then, backed by his
nultitudnous army 20 the District attempt
congressional majority by procaiming determination
10 defeat pending by acting emergencies
require Has abotonn turned his brain that he docs
not know that army from the North at Washington 10
Congress would be by army from the South
at Washington to sustain Congress- and that the eaergcn
ees alluded to BY him might, and probably would be
bloodics, and most terrible in the worlds hstory9
passage in the next column of the Tribune indicates
pretty strongly what the editor would his congrcgatcd
northern masses do at Washington. He says:
Better that confusion should ensuebette that dcord
should reign in the national oouncilsb>tcr thar Coaqre
should break rid d,sordnay prTTrn TpaT rur Car
fall and bury I'll ~ inmates beneath lis crumbnq
than that this perhdy and wrong should finally
plshed.'
And so he would have the Of the North after
sembng at Washington carry confusion discord into
national councils break mp Congress in wild disorder and
apply the blazing torch the Capitol overwhem All It's
inmates beneath ts flaming ruins rather than permit the
Nebraska bin 10 pass by the OF the majority Such
gugge il the language either Of Of an enemy
Of the Union and traitor. No patriot however or
cited would invoke meeting ~ the population Of tho
nonsayeholdng section Of the country Washington
present condition Of things to emergencies may
require pointing them at the time the
Of the Capitol and the OF Congress as means by
which their object be accomplished and means by
which, Unnecessary, il 'hoHd be accomplished"
