The n. York Express makes the following com
ments ON the testimony given in relation to the
Louisville riots
The case is made up. Tho foreign origin of
the Louisville Riots, in the face of the sort Of
evidence publish to-day, is no longer deba
table question. The strongest testimony comes
now, not from the Know Nothings, from the
American party but from Irish and German
Roman Catholics, Of acknowledged yoracity,--
and the damning fact is demonstrated beyond all
cavil, that the attack upon the Americans was
premeditated and deliberate. All the high pres
sure rhetoric Of the Washington Union. the Phil
adelphia Pennsylvania, and other presses, hos
tile TO the American cause, goes for nothing in
the presence of such afidnyits those we have

Rhodes, one of the first Americans whom Irish
bullets made to kiss the dust, in DEATH was per
fectly quiet, and well behaved at the time he was

were fired, O'Connell says there was no distur-

The Abolition Plosramme.

The National Era, the central organ oil the
Abolitionsts, puts forth well.writien and evl-
IDENTIFY carefully considered article on the
prospects and policy Of that party. Looking -
the approaching struggle in the next Congress
the Era is MT al all hopeful as 10 the result II
claims an an.i. Nebraska majority Of p IN the
lower House. bu, it questions whether this ma
iority conld be relied on fer successful resistance
TO the solid phalans and skitul tactics Of the
Southern minerity. But even supposing bill
restoring the Missouri Compromise 10 pass
the House Of Representatives, the Era a ks II the
Nebraska minority of + in the Senate is 10 be
overcome. In short the Abolition organ con
cudes'that tie repeal of the Nebraska bill is i'm
possible at the next session of Congress. and in
view of this fact it calls on its followers to dis
card all compromises and plant themselves at
once on the principle o! excluding slavery from
all federal territory, whether lying above or be
lowthe laiitu6a of SO 20.
But whai the Era seeks most earnestly TO i'm
press ON its party is the Importance of electing u
free soil administration. 1t says:
Then let the non shareholders Of thu Union be
true to themselves. and install an anti slavery ad
low in order The majority of twenty two in
the House. at the next session succeeding the
President election. would stand firm and receive
accessinns The Nebraska majority OF the Sen
ate would be parayzed. Oregon would be I'D
mit,ed free and independent. Kansas would be
remanded to its territorial conditonio be organ
lied by It's actual settlers into free State. And
one by one would the aggressons of slavery be
remedied until the principle oin slavery within
the exclusive jurisdiction of the federal govern
ment should be fully cerried out and practically
established beyond cavil or disturbance
But all this depends upon elec,ing an anti
slavery President and this again upon the union
Of the masses of the free States, ON the one is
sue Freedom vs.. Slavery, in utter disregard OF
all other political questions. Pile your free
State maioriies in Congress mountain high, and
so long as you leave the administration in the
hands Of the slave power It will mock at all
your efforts.
The Era is the authorized exponent of the
Abo.ionisis, and IN the article from which we
have Gnoted. il has doubtless laid down the pro.
gramme which will be followed by Seward, Gid
dings Hale, Co. at the next session of Congress.
If we correctly interpret the Era revelations the
restoration Of the Missouri Compromise will not
be dramatically the aboltionsts. They will not
be satisfied with reimposing the Slavery re-tric.
ton on all territory north of 80 degrees 30 min.
u.es but will insist upon applying TINT princi.
pie to all territory of the United States without
respect to latitude or longitude. We trust that
the abolition organ may succeed in bringing its
oonfederates up TO the mark ON this question and
that the issue which it suggests may be made and
met at once
