Who is to Blame for the Riots

ne auiulnIsuNtoh press SeiAeS upon WIG
Louisville calamity as a means Of political cap
ital It attributes to the principles and action
Of the American Order inevitable consequences
Of bloodshed and violence. We repel this ca
lumny at the threshold. Those who read i'm
partially the reports from the riot will be salts
fed that the foreigners commenced the atfray,
and that they were provided with firearms
whilst the Americans were compelled to retire
to arm themselves.
1t is natural that those who take the side Of
aliens against their own fellow-tidzens, should
construe everything against those whom they
dislike. But, we ask, would it not he more
Just and much more wise to refrain from such
expartc and reckless statements? Will they
not infame the American temper still more :
Will they not encourage the arrogant alien still
further2 Will not such deeds Of violence dis
turb us at home and disgrace us abroad?
If the aliens were justified in assailing
Americans by the alleged violence Of the Amer
lean press and orators, have not the Ameri-
cans at least, the same excuse in the abuse and
violence of the administration press and party :
When have any men been assaulted with moic
malignant and vulgar assaults upon theirprivate
characto,- AID public motives, than the Ameri-
cansr Never in the history of party warfare.
We deem It duty to remind the admins
tration and its presses, that they may carry
this warfare Of words too far They may
array the aliens and their sympathizers on
one side, and the American party upon the
other. 1t is not in human nature to bear
perpetual taunt and insult without reply and
retaliation. The foreigner, backed by such
natives as may prefer his cause, will become
even more insolent, and skirmish may lead
to more general contest. We may be thus
engaged in civil war, before the country is
aware of its danger
We would admonish the administration,
that this game of stimulating national animosi-
ties has been employed also by the Abolitiouists,
and has brought US to the verge Of disunion.
But this new scheme Of exciting the hostilities
Of natives and aliens il much more dangerous;
for whilst abolition and slavery is separated
by distance, aliens and Americans are mixed
in the same community.
Ifthe and-American party condemns the
Order for having treated the alien with intole-
rance, let that party reform its own treatment
Of the Americans. Let it show some forbear-
ance, and some justice iowa, DIS such Of their
own felow-citizcns IS do not agree in opinion
with the Executive. Otherwise il the flames
Of civil war shall be lit in the land, and the
American people shall be committed to the
ravages of civil war; the administra-
ton and its organs will be held to just &C
for having, by violent and vindic.
tive abuse and persecution, driven the Ameri-
can party TO defend themselves from the for
sign incendiaries who have invaded our coun-
try, disturbed its peace, and slaughtered its
citizens.

tells some unpleasant truths respecting the Presi-

Immediately after the first election held in
Kansas, one after another of the Missouri invaders
called upon the President and filed their complaints
against the Governor, charging him with neglecs
of his official duties, Illegal specuations in lands,
&c. We state upon authority that cannot be dis
puted, that President Pierce at that time told q
friend, | aln satisfied that Gov. Reeder possesses
frmness, honesty, and capacity, and man who
has these three qualities don't often get wrong
We happen to know, too, that our Chief Magistrate

acted precisely as he did In the same position"

AMERICANS ABRoAD.-From Baden Baden, the
king of Watering Places, letter dated July It'll,
says:
"The English being mostly afflicted with family
losses, are, at this moment feebly represented at
any continental watering place. For this reason
the presence of Americans, who, Of late have been
recognised everywhere as distinct class Of trav-
ellers, less pretending and more liberal than any
other, and whom to please ia now quite as much
an object MS a year or two ago the satisfaction
given TO the English nobility and gentry, is a mat.
ter Of much rejoicing at Baden. Mr.. Bristol, Of
New York. has just bought magnificent property
here for $4,000, situated most Economically at the
entrance into the valley of Lichtanth. Mrs. Tevis
and Mr.. and Mrs. Morgan, of Philadelphia, have
taken princely apartment for the season. Mrs.
Holbach, Mrs. Fox and family, Mrs. Livingston
and family, all of New York, also here, togeth-
cr with Colonel Thompson, Of New York, and Mrs.

INTERIOR General Lend Office
Tie Surveys in Minnesota- Henry N. Rice
in letter to the Commissioner of the General
Land Office, dated at St. Paul, suggests that the
lands lying north of the St. Louis river and border
ing upon Lake Superior, should be surveyed at
once; that the surveys north OF Fort Gaines, on
the Mississippi, should be continued up the river
for FIVE OF six townships; and that the lands on,
and west ofthe river be surveyed far north the
Growing river. He adds: The survey of these
lands would much better accommodate the inhabi-
tants than those now being made 20 far in the in
terror as the largest number Of settlements are
made upon the navigable waters.
Reaiopal of The Land Office from Fort Learea-
,sorth.--A few days since we mentioned that the
surveyor general of Kansas was forced TO move his
Office from the rooms occupied in Fort Leayen-
worth without communicating with the proper de-
partment, in consequence Of the large addition Of
United States troops quartered at that post. The
office was, consequently, moved to the city OF
Leayenworth until instructions could be received
from the proper authorities. The matter was re-
ferred to the President for his consideration. The
removal to the city Of Leavenworth was dsap-
proved Of
Importation of Guano-The total importation
of guano into the United States during the last
seven years ending June 80, 1854, was 32l ,os6

and the smallest from Africa, being only l4S TONS
In 1854 the importations Of guano nearly quadru-
pied those of any preceding year.

TICKING TOO SooN.-I heard story of Sir Chas.
Napier which, as "infernal machines" engage pub
lie attention Just now, is not NAL apropos. When
we were trying to take Bouogne in the last wal,
Sir Charles was mdd.y. A boat was sent from
the ship in which he served TO aflix one OF the
Intervals" then newly invented, TO the side OF
French vessel, and this boat was commanded by
young Napier. dark night was Of course &C.
ected, and the boat duly pulled to the ship which
had been pointed out as the intended victim. Sebe
gallant advcnturers got close under her, and werJ
screwing on the fatal invention which was to blow
her side in and send her to the bottom, when they
were hailed in the plainest English, and with sun
dry adjurations, for an explanation of what they
were doing there" and they discovered that they
had mistaken their course, and were making ear
nest preparations for annihating one of His Ma
iesty's own ships After this lucky escape they
made another attempt. Now, these "infernals"
were worked by clock-work, which were wound
up and set going, and after certain regulated
time fired the fuse. The terrible machine was put
into the boat and the party struck of for tho
French vessel In mid-coursc one OF the sailors
addressed Mr.. Napier. Sir, your honor, the beg

commander. "Beggar ticks, sir," said Jack, pull

rushed from his seat and listened, and found that
by some means the clock-work had been set going,

pieces. So the machine was incontinently pitched
