The Sioux AbolitiOnists.

Hon. Thaddeus Stevens, whom the rad.
ical organs endorse as :" bold and true, "
having been renominated for the next
Congress. responded in . speech from
which the following is an extract:

If the dream of this revengeful faction
were realized, and the blacks rose upon
the helpless women and children at the
South, it would stop the war upon the
part OF the North in a month, and divide
the Union forever. The whole world would
stand aghass at the atrocities that would
be committed, and, as in the
case Of the Sepoy rebellion, the sympalh-

As for Mr.. Stevens, he is terribly mis-

associates in Congress will be endorsed at
the coming elections. We verify believe
that storm is gathering destined to sweep
them out of public life never to be heard
