The 4. :. Government Threatened by the
Black Republicans,

If the Republican press of New York, says the
DAY BOOZE comes anywhere near expressing
the opinions and feelings of the masses of ithat
party, it is too fearfulIy evident Ethat iwe are
entering upon period of blood and terror, compar
ed with which the French Revolution and the red
events Of the Crusades were dispensations of Cos
pei peace and mercy. Blood! blood! blood Is the
savage, maniac cry, morning, noon and night. Even
their President is threatened with being super
ceded by military leader" unless he instant
ly sends out the savage war hoop OF vengeance and
determination against everybody in the East in the
West. in the North and IN the South, who do not
bow to the black idol Of their idolatry Every man
who does not say it srigh to burn aud plumber the
entire South, is denounced as a traitor" and
threatened with hanging" The Post, of Wednea
day evening, asgails Mr.. SEWARD for pledging his
word to Gov. Hicks that the force now summoned
80 Washington sis intended only for the defence of
che Capital" The Post asks, But is it fact that
fhe government means to content itself with defend
ing Washington" The Tribune OF Tuesday declar-
ed that Virginia has what it pleased to call prop
erty IL man. which will probably take care of it
self in the struggle waiting hat in hand for any
new conner disposed to give fair days wages for
a fair days work But it has other property
property 70 houses, in lands, in Mines in forests
IN country and in town, which will need TO be
taken possession Of. The wornout race of emascu-
lated First Families must give place TO a sturdier
people, whose pioneers are on their way tc
Washington in regiments. An allotment of land in
Virginia will be fitting award for the brave fel
lows who have gone to fight their country s bat
ties" But if Ar. SBwARD spoke the truth TO Gov
ernor Hicks, the above programme Of piundering
and sacking the whole South cannot be carried out
is this the reason why the Post abuses NJ. SEWARD
for making such pledges to Governor Hicks A.? The
Tribo1se, of Thursday morning, pitches at SEWARD
and tells him that, he makes a virtual pledge to
sn exposed traitor, which nothing can eNtenuate =
And on Friday morning the same paper speaks o.
ar. SEwAEDs "pedautc twaddle about using the
froops for the protection of the capital only
The Tribune also recommends TO a wealthy ndi-
Yidual, TO fit out a feet on his own hook and with
out the authority Of the government, to 90 down
20 Baltimore and burn and butcher everybody.
Not one of the Republican papers OF TINS city is
