The Louisville Rin,

The papers of the country are ,e,n;;,
with accounts of the dizgracefal riot IS
took place in Louisville on the day ofss
election. A vast deal of falsehooa :.
misrepresentation in relation to the riot,
has been put in cir culation by the mart;
zan press of Louisville. This is ev;a.,.
from the conflicting character of the stat.
ments which appear in the diiieren, uaOs,,

who were the aggressors. We d. No,
know who were at fault, but we do k0ou.
that such scenes are disgrace to aov
country, and the perpetrators should 70
ceive the condemnation of ell law and =,
der loving citizens. The press is alone
to blame for this disgracefal outbreak
The incendiary appeals to the passions
and prejudices of the reckless mobocracv
Of Louisville, by her own press, were
well calculated to bring about the result.

to the conscientious belief of the majority.
,he same reasons apply, and they must
obey until the law is repealed in legal
form. The rulers, the legislators are an
swerable, and they alone are answerable
for the criminal consequences Of compll-
ance with the laws they may ordain-the
Governed is void of all offence toward God
or man. when he has fulfilled the duty OF
cheerful obedience to legitimate authority,
,rhaterer it may command.
The reader will observe that we are
here repeating, in substance. what has
been expressed in a previous portion OF
these remarks. Such must necessarily be
the case in trcaing the various applica-
tons of a general principle; these very
repetitions showing that the doctrine we
advocate has the simple and never-vary'ng
character of a real and true principle.
Happily, in our country such questions,
or at least the necessity for their decis-
ion in such extreme cases as we have
supposed, can never arise. Yet it is well
that error should be detected wherever it
may Turk, and exposed to the light OF rea-
son. Our unrivalled system of govern
ment, combining as, it does the advantages
of every form of polity which has yet
been devised, contains those guards,
selfcorrective agencies which will always
prevent the creation of any legislation
which would attack thu rights of con-
science. IF such misfortune should ev-
er happen, the frequent recurrence of cleo
tons, the frequent renewal of the person
mel of government, would soon remedy
the evil. Notwithstanding the occasional
depravity of popular passion and preju-
dice, the moral sense is something so en-
ergetic, so all.pervading, all-controlling,
in its intense action, that popular suffrage.
docile to the voice of reason, soon expels
ephemeral mischief ''purges off the baser
fire, victorious" and vindicates the SUI
premacy of reason and conscience by en-
bodying them in the law.

nowadays, still we can't stake in'' the
above statement. The only practical
type.setting machine that ever was, or ev-

six thousand years ago, and as the patent
has long since expired, any one may en-

that others will say that the citizens Of
