THE RIOTS AT LOUIsvILLE-wHO ARE RE
SP0NSIBLEf

The facts in relation to the riots at Louis
vile, Kentucky, have already been given in
our paper. 1t is easy to say that both sides
were blameworthy indulge in denuncia-
tions, both of Know Nothings and nsturalized
citizens, and so escape the responsibility OF
passing Judgment upon either party as specially
guilty. We do not belong to this class of gen.
eralizers.
Know Nothingism, in itself, is a war on for
eign-born citizens. 1t regards them as inferior
to the natives, and its policy, if consummated,
must degrade them. They would be more or
less than human, did they not resent and resist
it. Were we a foreigner, or naturalized citi-
zen, we should regard the Know Nothing as an
enemy, and resist to the death all his efforts to
divest US of cur rights, or make us his inferior.
If from such provocation a war of races should
spring up, he, and not i, would be responsible.
The riots at Louisville, the anarchy, the muir
ders the burnings, were the offspring of Know
Nothingism. This was the bitter foundation
Of all the mischief. The naturalized citizens
were armed some days in advance, it is said.
Very likely, for they expected to be subjected
TO outrage. They were the first to commit vio
lence, by resort to firearms, it is said. Possibly
they may have been; but whose rights were
first invaded? 1t is known that the Know
Nothings obtained possession Of the polls i'll
advance, blockaded them, thrust aside natural
lied citizens, and claimed the right of prece
dence. The violation of the rights of the for
eign-born voters was gross and palpable. Tha
few of the more excitable of them SHOULD
have been eXasperated 10y such treatment, anC
tempted to acts of violence, is not surprising
We dc not Justify those acts for 1t would seen
that unohending persons suffered from them
but it is wicked to hold them up as the first, o
chief, in the transgression.
In Louisville, as in Cincinnati and other pla
ces, they who commenced the crusade agains
foreigners are responsible for the violence an
disorder it has provoked. Suppose the abom
nable usurpations of Atchison 4 Co. should O
last provoke the actual settlers of Kansas
resistance, would you hold these accountable ft
the bloody struggle that might follow?
If we would have peace, and restore kind
feelings between the different classes of OF
population, let treat one another as me
equal in rights and dignity, bound together
a common humanity, and abjure the who
theory and practice Of oppression and caste.

THE EVENING STAR.

A dozen lines Of ours last week, relative to /
some speculations of the Star in regard to the |
dimensions-superfcia or solid-of the Era's
sanctum, has excited the worthy editor of that |
little twinkling luminary in a most remarkable |
manner. We only intimated that the editor OF |
The Star, who is a man of science, confessed, !
had no occasion to speak obviously upon the |
purely mathematical question, the conditions
Of which he was quite familiar with, as we sup
posed. That was "the head and front of our
offending"
Nothing could better illustrate the versatile
genius of our neighbor than the deduction of a
column and quarter of history, autobiography,
politics, and ethics, out of simple problem in
geometry. No wonder that he has contributed
to all sorts of journals, on all sorts of subjects,
of which we have an interesting memoir in the
article before u.s. We shall insert it entire in the
Era, "for the information of the distant pub
ic," and as a vindicstion, "as it were," of the
Editor of the Star, from the bare suspicion of
entertaining an unpopular opinion.
But, testing aside, the suspicion of holding
the opinions Of Jefferson and Franklin is cal
culated to lure any man in Washington, and
we therefore, in justice TO the STAR endorse the
statement of its editor as to the character OF
his contributions TO the Era, SO far as they
came under our observation. We stated a
mere fact as to his contributions in order to
compromise him as an assailant of the Repub
l;can Association, and its supposed meetings in
the Erals sanctum. This object we have eff
fected. He now assures this community thai
DIR. Bailey is gentleman of many virtues, anc
of course his sanctum cannot be very wicked
place. Having accomplished this object, w
cheerfully exonerate the editor of the Sta
from the inference-for it is nothing more
writing AntiSlavery articles. General Taylo
said. in defence of the use of bloodhounds i
the Florida war, that he didn't wish to worr
the Indians, but only to find out where the
were :" and we, having shown where the ed'tt
of the Star has been, in times past, have y
wish to "worry" him any further. U.
We have seen some successful experiment
made with the newly invented apparatus
Messrs. B. Gatz & Co., of Philadelphia, Il
lighting vaults, cellars, and dark apartments,
means of reflected external light This inve
ton is simple, and of great general utility.

tried, and used with the most powerful
effect, in the very worst cases of measles,
coughs, ~hoarseness, w%hooping cough, con
sumption, and all diseases of the lungs of
long standing, and is no W the most popu-
lar and beneficial medicine used for all
those diseases for which it is so highly rec
commended.
J.. L. Curtis Original Mamaluke, is now
acknowledged by all persons of experience
as the best stimulant ave- used, 70 the
cure Of all those diseases for which it is so
highly recommended and in which it has
been so successfully used. 1t stands un-
paralleled by any medicine ever offered 10
the public. A fresh supply of these med
icines has just been received by the agents.
Those persons who are not supplied had
better call on some agent and supply their
families.

Mr.. EDITOR: For the benefit of all concern

ment of facts as they are relative to myself
Some time in May, 1853, l was confined to my
bed with Pulmonary Consumption, or an afIec-
ton of the lungs-so pronounced to be by the
most celebrated physicians in the city of Ga
lena, HIS, and of Shullsburgh, Wisconsin, and
having exhausted their prescriptions with lit

my case certain death, until sometime in Oct.
Of the same year l called upon DR.. r. S. BA-

count of not having time, he at that time being
engaged in a contract on the Central Rail Road.
However, shortly after he volunteered his SER
vices and commenced his treatment, and to the
