An Abolition sheet of this city, the Gazette,
taking advantage of n local and temporary squad
BILE la the labor market, has been exciting, for
several days together, the worst passions OF the
community by bounding one class of citizens
against another. Ii has carried this thing to the
extreme of threatening a revival of 1855, when
adopted citizens were at the mercy of mob law,
shot down like beasts of prey, and in more than
one instance burned alivei The Gazette has the
satisfaction of knowing that its advice has been
already taken, for on Tuesday night of last week
"a peaceable and inOffensive citizen, named Will
liam Burke, WAS shot down at his own door and
died within twenty-fOur hoursl He was "A hard.
working, law-abiding and inoffeusive man, who
had only a few minutes before returned home
FROM work, and finding a crowd of excited people
in the street, threatening a den of infamv near his
brothers store, was in The act OF helping him to
remove his little property from the house. The

1855, and an adopted citizen ticks the dust, vel

persons that the pcrpetrAtor of this high handed
crime is a city official of the Gozete school. We
forbear giving the name till the result of the Cor

We are not in the habit OF attributing motives,
aud far be it from US To assert or insinnate that
our Abolition neighbor over the way has desired
or mecitated any such result of its preaching; but
we do assert emphatically that, consciously or
al. consciously, it has misrepresented the history
OF this trouble, that il has shown a IN un
concern for the vested interests of tens of thou
sands, representing the poor. hard worked white
laborer OF the State and the country, that it has
in tone and epithet mixed up a large division Of
our civic population with n few %rowdies, hinging
It's nasty spittle on respectable men indiscrimI
nately. that its conduct in this matter has had the
oaneful tendency of arraying class against class,
on petty local grounds, TO The criminal neglect of
vital national interests: and that its editorial con.
duct preceding the murder of Burke makes an
uneDyiable association, which tenacious and sen
sitive memories can not easily shake off.
The main facts in this unpleasant business are
soon told and as soon understood. Black labor,
it appears, is fast undermining white labor along
the Ohio. Ii il q question Of bread and butter or
starvation 10 thousands; and nothing IS more
easily understood than jealousy IN such a vital
matter. Show us a State, or district, or city, or
hamlet in Europe OF America where such jeal-

fecund topic of whole chapters in the history of
industry. Ii Is white labor that has built up this
