A. T. STEWART FOR GovEKSoR.-Ths indie
pendent war party are getting up movement
in favor of A. T. Stewart for Governor, whom
they intend to run without the leave of the
democratic or republican party, or any other
political organization. This is a healthy sign
OF the times, indicative Of the determination Of
the people to overthrow the existing rotten or
CARNATIONS, whose leaders in this State have
cheated the government and the country out of
thirty millions Of dollars by gun contracts and
other fraudulent operations 1t is high time to
demo)ish the old parties which have brought
ruin on the country, and to make new start
with party whose function it will be to aid
the government in bringing the war to sue
cessful issue, by restoring the Union as it ex-
listed before the rebellion began, and preserving
intact the constitution, the bond and instrument
Of the Union, without addition, omission or the
alteration of single letter Mr.. Stewart ia q
high minded gentleman-s merchant above the
tricks of politicians. Let him be the peoples
candidate, and let the old party hacks shrink
away abashed and hide their diminished heads,
while fresh men-men Of intelligence and unin,-
peachable Characteristic their place in every
position of trust honor and emolument through
out the Northern States. These are times which
try mems souls; and it is essential to the safety
Of the republic to place at the head OF affairs
men of the right stamp, who will conduct the
country safely through the crisis.
GRHEIEY AND THE NEGRO RIor IN New
ORLEANs.-Y Yesterday the Tribune, from lack
of enterprise, copied our New Orleans cor
respondence giving an account Of the negro
riot in that city, at which some negroes were
killed and wounded, and several policemen in
jured in quelling the disorder But for the
timely aid of four soldiers Of the Twelfth Maine
the police would have been overpowersd and
all killed. Greeley endorses the report as true,
but denounces the policemen and soldiers az
murderer This is the iavorite' epithet Of
Wendell Phillips for the Union army, the Presi-
dent and the administration; and Greeley, who
is leagued with that bad, bold man. attempts to
impiicate the President in 1.-The criminal car
mage and murder" at New Orleans. He
says
Had President Lincoln issued proclamation spon the
passage Of the IDnhscation act setting forth the
visions and requirements Of that act and directing all
his military, naval aud civil subordinates to render
would not have reached New Orleans III season 70 avert
this depiorabis atrocty.
Thus the President is charged with being the
cause OF this "deplorable atrocity" and "Nsw
Orleans murders" 1t is the legislation OF a
radical Congress, and not the President, that is
chargeable with riot and loss Of lite.- What
readers were made aware that on some of the
neighboring plantations the blacks were ex-
cited by the abOitionists-who had found their
way into New Orleans under the protection Of
our flag. which they are sadly abusngthat
they menaced the lives Of the white women and
children. who were only saved by the nterpo-
sition OF one Of our gunboats. Greeley gloried
in this state Of things, and condemns the inter-
ference to prevent horrd outrage and massa ere.
Again, these blacks organize aud appear in the
streets of New Orleans in body, fourishing long
sugar cane knives and acting ia disorderly man
ner. The police-the preservers of order and
protectors of the community-proceeded to
arrest them in their career, in pursuance of the
municipal laws, when o conflict began, which
resulted in the loss of several lives. Who were
the aggress0rs! The blacks, stimulated by
thc aDOAtohistS, appearing III suc ssreets
armed and in tumultuous manner, at time
when no white citizen would be permitted to bear
weapon in public. and any three found to-
gether in the street were liable to arrest, by
order Of General Butler. The police only did
their duty; and if any Of them should die of
their wounds the whole party Of negroes ought
TO be hanged, aud the white abolition tends
who urged then to destruction all hanged
from the same sour apple tree
II is hard enough for the government to have
to deal with an nsurrection of white men at the
South without having an instruction of blacks
on its hands, tomented by missionaries of mis-
chief--secret emissaries sent out by the aboli-
ton conspirators in New York and New Eng
land, whose purpose Is to effect the permanent
dissolution of the Union at all hazards. The
FIRST attempt at ssrvile insurrection. however
has been signal failure, and has been re-
pressed by the aid Of the Union soldiers. SO
perish all future attempts Of the Satanic
abolitionista
