The recent bloody riots in Louisville by which score
Of human beings mercilessy buehered surprise
who has studied the progress of political events
FOR The past year They the legitimate fruits Of
eabals aud aoobneal associations pnderng the lowest
dictates OF human passion and brutality On this
hey fern very appropriate harvest for the seed indus
tously throughout the land. We are told in an old
parable Of certain meddesone gentleman belonging to
the dak-antern party, who spent his nights In sowing
among farmers wheat and we are also informed that
the tares were after the harvest be buried The para
bic will find this time most significant political appl-
cation and we hope record the fuhlment OF III
complete destruction of political ares. As we said be-
fore the events Louisville surprise no one who has
marked the deestable principles which the know-nothng
party has so ndustriousy disseminated As mere poih
cal organization li conceived in sin, and has never
able dvest itself of this congenital deorrny. 1t
Is said that a miserable pimp ia New York was Its
progcnor; and this be so then 1t is all the more
natural that black system should have flowed from
black source for the stream never rise higher
than the fountain, and tainted parent ever makes
tainted progeny There is language too strong

of government and the production Of civil
man who commits murder is deemed execrable--an
outlaw deserving Of pity tenderness and the gaows

We need not enter into any discussion of know

GENTLY to render ansion to them nauseous We
glad however, that they have shown us what Is their

safety and welfare of the whole country 1t is half the

assault this time is on political institutions alone It
not on acts of the whig party the democratic party
that the attack is to be made, but the constitution IT.

these foundations of republican government that this
hateful secret organization sitting over its dabolical
Vaccinations at midnight, is striving with nigh, and

sulphurous breath There is nothing painful to It

long will the freemen of the United States endure this
How many more lives there be sacrificed to this po-
ticn Juggernaut ere people shall rise in their might
and crush this sedtous conclave in the dust?
