Of letter written by Know Nothing
on the subject of the Louisville riots =
He Was an eye witness of the dreadful
scenes, and hence his testimony is of
value to fix the blame on the ri5ul
shoulders:
Louisville, August 8th, 1855.
DEAR FRGEND:-I had intended to
have written to you On Mon lay, but that
was utterly impossible. Scenes were
enacted in this city on that day which
caused the blood to run cold to my heart.
May God in HIS Providence forbid that
nay eyes may ever behold such atrocities
again. Deeds were perpelratod in this
city on Monday, in the name Of Liberty
which would cause he'll itself to blush
for the American party The innocent
have suffered alike with the guilty No
one escaped The child in its mothers
arms WAS not spared by the fends who
for eighteen hours ruled The city. The
city has been lighted for hours by the
torch Of the incendiary. Many have
persisted in the flames Could you have
been with me on yesterday, to behold
he blackened and charred remains of
those who have been rescued from the
ruins, your heart would have sunk within
you L saw man and wife, burned to
coal, locked in each others arms
God! but it WAS sight. But the most
heillsh OF all the acts committed On that
day was that Of a child being snatched
from It's mothers arms and its brains
beaten out before her in the streets.
But my heart sickons at the recital Of
such deeds of blood.
