n q, AND DANGEROUS

aarcuiased to stinulate the feeling of alienation
thst now ,unhappily exists between certain
cissses of oar populations and as having no
other effect than TO keep alive the empers OF
passion until on the FIRST occasion Of excitement
they may burst forth into fierce, perhaps
fearfully destructive blaze. !,
! Noticing since the editor o. the Louisville
Journal suggested the formation 81 military
companies n thst city, 80 as to be prepared
avainst future riots and emergencies The sugzz
oss.;ops ssrs thrown out mildly and cour-
tonus,y. and the whole argument Of the article
van eminently conservative and worthy Of all
praise. Upon this the Graeaniaa, of this city,
M its issue Of tho l4th, founded an ARTICLE in
which the riots, Mr.. Prsntice, the killings, etc.,
are treated in serio-comio style, which would
only provoke laughter were 1t not for the spite
full illusions and. unfair insinuations contained
therein. ysss ss
We make a few extracts from the arieanian's
article, to show its temper, and the manner 1t
iasiauates criminality upon the Americans

turing upDn specific charges N. -

truth in this, but the question is not fairly put
Who commenced the aror6 Of slaughter That
is the real point at Issue, but it lis one no anti
American will meet. Why' An honest inyes-
tieation would be disastrous to their cause It
has been ineontestibiy proved that !, the

work Of murder, and at places remote .tron,
The. polls These wanton and atrocious pro-

mitted Of . most depIorable character liz :
No one was looked upon as q g criminal be-
feauss be Vas . Catholic. and none we're, cob
noxicuso because they were born " beyond the
Atlsntics dividing surgesa" No one knows
this better than the editor Of the orleanian,
The Americans wage no #ar upon men on 40
count of their birthplace and religion. They
expressly repudiate such ideas. They only
assert q claim to the Government Of their own
country. But, perhaps the Orleanian means
that those Fortunate citizens who came here
|. = FROM choice !" should enjoy, among other
e vested rights and amusements, the privilege
Of shooting. down, as the humor seized them, q
dozen or 30 Of those Who are unfortunately
oitisens by the ss,accident Of birth!"R If it
does mt mean this, what does it mean AT all
events, we imagine the sport will turn out,
should II be essayed in future, as heretofore,
disastrous tothe sportsfnen. - $t'-ff
After insinuating THAT the Americans Of
louisville are murderers, the 0rleanian takes
leap Of twelve or fifteen hundred miles, and
essays the same amiable office TO the Americans
of New 0rleans1 At the close Of q long, lugu-
hrious paragraph, it sayst
MANS fst by mans partality and disregard Of Law
and equity the murderer may eseaps hss meyer ths nat
our chntnan the fatteray hlayers Of their brothers
although exempt to-day, tomorrow will be punished
The gore clotfsd Of Louavle, the stabbers 81 New
Orleans as certain as theig Creator ivet will have
atone for the lives which God mparteth, and which He
alone, not they, should have taken.
6 The. stabbers of New CLEANS" Here is
another ,inuendo that the American party of
New Orleans la just as badla the American
party Of louisville. What wretched nonsense.
We suppose the riots of last summer are alluded
To- The Orleanian knows, as every citizen
knows, that the riots did mot beign to be
serious until several estimsbie citizens were
shrntally beaten, almost to death, by sshdopted''
rufians antil the assassination of the Recorder
Of the District was attempted; and until sues
cession Of unbearabte outrages had occurred |!
Just as it was in Louisville 50 was it here. The
Americans stood everything until forbearanee
ceased to have amy virtue, before they went to
work. -
Ii is distasteful to be forced to allude tomat-
tiers like these, but If thereis no other alterna-
tive, we shall not finch from the ordeal. We
hope nothing more will be published by foreign
organs to excite i'll feeling, and that such dis
cussions es the one We have been referring to
will be dropped forever
