THE LATE RIOT.

HE Ia ~ IiCi'
The riot, n brief account Of which
we published in last weeks Home
Journal, has been quelled. Some 20
were killed, most Of whom. thank
ortunc, were rioters. Would that ev.
cry ono or them had met that death
that knows no waking, 1t was n
bloody, daring usnrpa'ion Of authority
for which every participant should be
hung as high as llayman. Aud the
New York Tribune sympNlIiScS, aye,
excuses the despcradors who were
the instigators and perpetrators Of
this unlawful, uncallcd for outbreak
upon the houses and privileges Of un'
offending, pcaccable Amer can cili'
zcnsl Shame upon any paper, al
though il be already stepped deep in
the Infamous depths Of iulcrmcddIing
abo,iiionism,- shomc upon it for cScu'
sing its own black horde in the p"rpc.
tra,ion Of such foul ,hings. But the
signs nrc portcnlious OF evil. S'raws
tell which way the wind blows, and
this may be the beginning Of II series
of such Internal dealing on the part Of
those Intermediates with the rights Of
,hc SJsh. That there are thousands
in the North who will discountcnnncc
such overt demonstration OF what
their doctrine must lead to we I'D
nit. And why will it lead 10 tins
Because the South has already with
stood cnough-ayc, too much. For
bcarancc has ceased 10 be II virtue
and JUSTICE cries for vengeance. SN'
has emily asked heretofore that he
rights be respected, and not trnnplc'
On. She has compromised, until t4'
mere mention now Of comp,0misc i'm
plies at once that another, perhaps
greater right, is to be Surrcndcrcd.-
We shnddcs now at the mention o

ruin, and we Shall be sur Used If tIr
South ever again enter into such. She
must hereafter look out for The pro
lection Of happy homes and altar
free. hbolilionism is working It's SlI
my poison inlo her midst, through Sc
crct means, and hcnccEorih let us b
on our guard. Let no favors bc aSkc
and none given, and, AS 10 MIlul'
wen know no such word.
AS we sid b. fore, we believe tier
are thousands upon thousands in th'
North who would even take arms i!
dch,ncc Of the South, yet how many
thousands who would rise against rs
and how many would remain inac'
tive, rather than try 10 crush AN evil
in their midst. We receive each
week, at our office, II newspaper prin
ted at Rochester. BY Fred. Douglass
and in every number nearly we no
ticc i~nllammatory articles urging, "a
n final resort, rebellion and mMyiCr il
c0M bio0d. And these damnnhIG sen
timcn's are allowed TO be- thrown on
and circulated weekly among whit
people, protesting to love their coun
try, and calling themselves americans
Is it no violation Of law for a pcrsol
to incitc murder and outrage! ShaI
man be allowed to lie, and hy Iii
lies, work upon the minds Of the igno
rant until he dcludcs tt,cm into
scheme that may be the ruin Of on
land Freedom Of the Press does no
imply that a paper shall be thus dcyo
ted. Yet in Rochester. N. Y, AN
other abolition dcns, do we see sue
sentiments allowed, aud the law.ab'
ding citizens make no effort to puuiS
the wrclcAcs who utter them. Ncril,
when such is the case, the either
arc no better, and deserve as niue
condemnation as Frederick Dousla,
himself,
