Cause of the Difficulty on Thursday
Night.

E. NJ THAYER, Er IToR
Cause of the Difficulty on Thursday
Night.
We stated yesterday morning that we
would publish extracts from the articles
which, primarily, caused the difficulty on
Thursday night. The articles are alleged
to have been written by Mr.. Carlile. In
deed, the one entitled "White Slaves |
which appeared in the Enquirer Immediate
Iy after the October election, and which !
came near exciting mob at the time Of its
appearance, has been ascribed, by the gen
tleman who was then editor of the paper, |
to Mr. Garlic as its author. The extract |
from an article published in the Memphis |
Appeal, JAN 4, over the signature of CO. |
has been always attributed to Mr.. Garlic,
and we think we are safe in saying that
had lie been in this city when the article
aforesaid made its appearance in our paper,
copied from the Appeal, he would have re-
ceived rough treatment at the hands of those
who considered themselves unnecessarily
and maliciously insulted.
We publish these extracts in order to
place our citizens right before the country.
No city in the West is as free from mob
spirit as our own. God grant that it may
always remain so. But, in the present in
stance, the laboring men of the city felt
that they had been insulted and when the
person whom they regarded as the author
IF no enlf IL in
midst, they very naturally let their anger
get the upper hand of their judgment. The
demonstration was directed against the
man-not as the representative of any sec
ton or particular principle as one who
had insulted them when he had no provo
cation.
With the merits or dement's of the case,
we have nothing to do. AS we stated Yes
terday, we regret exceedingly that any of
our Home Guards were engaged in the diff
fculty. We presume few of the company
who did participate but are sorry for their
acts this morning on the return of their
sober second thought; and we dare say the
company will not soon appear in such an
unfortunate position again.
The following is an extract from the ar
ticle published in the Memphis Appeal
January 4th, 1861:
The mass of Americans and English and
Irish citizens in this important line of the
sections, have come to a just appreciation of
the wrongs and a reasonable conviction of
the rights, of the South; but the rabid ftnat-
ical leaders-whO are all hungry Office
seekers-having recently got their cue from
Wade's speech, and the Delphic responses
recently given out at Springfield that no
compromises, no sacrifices even of an iota of
party principles is to be allow ed, even to
save the country and the Union-have be-
come more violent and Notwithstanding
missing and outrageous in the maintenance
of the irrepressibe conflict " than before
They are loud for coercion, boodshed and
war. Lincoln, in their view is a scion Of
old Hickory, who is to hang all the traitors
North and South-beginning with the
northern sympathizers who may arrest the
march of his Republican mercenaries upon
the South. They talk as glibly and violent
ly about treason TO the North as the FIRE
eaters of South Carolina declaim against
dislOyalty to their faction. Among these
hungry parasites of patronage and power,
1t Is sad to Ind great many renegades
est and basest abolitionists of southern Hi
nois and Indiana arethe wretched emigrants,
formerly dirt eaters, from North Carolina
They were the vilest scum of white creation
in the Slave States, and their natures, are
net improved by exchange of latitude
Mingled with this now sloughing tail of
Republicanism along these borders, are
the Dutch hordes, whose antipathies to the
South, fostered by the eloquence of the
agrarian demagogues, like Carl Shurtz,
never change in their dull but beclouded
intellects. They now form the strength of
the Republicans here, and if an armed in
vasion Of the South should be attempted in
the coming conflict, the imported mercena-
ries-like the Hessians in the revolution
will be blind or perhaps willing instruments
OF the tyrannical oppressors.
The following appeared in the Evansville
Enquirer, October 10TH 1860:
White Slavery.
OF all the sIvery in this country, white
slavery is the most degrading an instance
of which was shown on Tuesday last There
is firm in this city, by the name of Kratz
& Heilman, founderymen, who have some
fifty or sixty men in their employ, and who
Judging from the demonstration they made
at the polls on Tuesday, belong, body and
soul, to the proprietors of the foundery
When they came to the polls to exercise
the right OF freemen, Kratz, one of the pro-
prletors, was in the lead, and the men all fol-
loving, like so many slaves in the South,
and Helman brought up the rear.
The Know Nothings of 1854, and who
now compose the great bulk of the Repub-
lican party, used to call the Germans and
Irish citizens, 'voting cattle, but the pro-
cesslon OF kratz Heilman, with Kra,z in
front leading the men, and Heiman in the
rear, to see that none should slip off and
