The H;beruO-African Riots in the "s~'


The recent riots though the Werer" ci'irr ai'hous"

The fact is. the trouble has a deeper Significance
than a mere temporary struggle for bread. Demo-
cratic politicians Of the Vallauoigbam school, have
1aled to .riasfer their part! to the Conitderaies;
have failed 10 make traitors OF the masses; then
pledges 10 Davis and Breckenridge, that oue-'af Of
the North would prevent the remainder ncm ,Oefc'
ing the Rebels, have been brokeu-ho, however,
from any fault of the politicians, but because tie
masses refused 10 be solo.
For few months the Reb.ls syupathzers appar-

The CGthohc Teicgrapl, when the troubles were
al tber hight, told s readers that tis wss strug

away, OF the whites would starve, and that too in
the face OF the known fact, thai not hundred
coored pouons have come here from the South
since the war began.

A riot here would be construed in locaites where
tie facts were not known into evidence conclusive,
that there really was unusual influx Of fugitive
slaves into TIE city, and that Tine price Of labor had
been seriously affected by it. An alarm wouli III

Tie iusii.ators Of these riots should be held re-
