Who Caused the Outbreaks?

| As certainly as retrbutive justice shall
prevail, the responsibility for this city IS IA is
fortuue and disgrace will be fixed upon the
Black Republican party. 1t is useless for it's
organs to shrink from the dreadful burden s
inexorable facts will fasten it upon them,
and they must go down to posterity groan-
| ing beneath the load. The desperate at
tempt to transfer the stigma from. tn en-
selves to others will but aggravate their
guilt They and their party are the authors
af the mischief, and when the transgressions
of provoked and deluded populace sh all
have been forgiven, Black Republicanisr6
will still be branded in history as the arch
criminal, condemned to the ID aledictions of
coming generations. -.
That party first inaugurated official dis
obedience to law and violation of the Con-
stitution. A reck less Administration intro.
duced and systematzed the principle of
brute force, and taug hit the people lesson
in lawlessness. Contempt for the judiciary
and opposition to the constituted tribunals
of the land were inculcated by the example
of the Federal Elk ecutive and his ministers!
The total absence of respect for private
property and personal liberty by those who
govern tempted like indulgence on the
part of'those who were the victims Of Illegal
power. Those who sent forth their mili7
tary m inions like maraud ers, at the deadoof
night, to attack the citizens home, and
batter down his doors, and drag him from
his family to be exiled among enemies, are
answerable for similar deeds of violence by
others. The thousands of innocent citizens
who have laugush ed, and sick ened, and
gone mad in Federal Bastiles, far from the
reach of justice, and subject to the caprice
or malice of political adversaries, attest,
with their sufferings, the responsibility of
their wrongers for all that has occurred OF
outrage, turbulence and license. The Aboli-
tion party gave the people their cue for vio-
ience, and tneils is the prominent and
original guilt. a c'a sis1-1s
The fanaticism and ambition of the doni-
nant party could not restrain itself within
legal bounds; the result has been that others
likewise fail to hold their passions in re-
s:rant When the Administration preached
the bulwarks of the Constitution and th lawg
they left an opening for lesser criminals to
follow in their footsteps.s De -potism has
begotten insubord ination, and the hands that
were outstretched to strike at liberty, let fall
the germs of license and disorder. a.st
The Abolition journals have kept even
pace with official recklessness aud contempt
of law. They have been intent only upon
their Infamous project of overturning the
social fabric of the South, and have adyo-
Gated and glorifed the unconstitutional
m easures aiming at that purpose. They
have sought to cultivate sanguinary and
vindictive sentm ent between the sections,
and have encouraged acruel and unchristian
mode of warfare. tending to embitter and
prolong contention, and to arouse fierce pas
sions on either side. By their ridiculous and
phrenzied zeal for the negro, urging him to
conspicuous rivalry of white men, they have
created feeling of antipsthy against the
race. Their violent advocacy of the illegal
and odious conscription provoked the popu-
lar resentment to the highest pitch.
M Meanwhile, hordes of mercenary and un-
contractors were basking in the
sunshine of Administrative favor and fatten-
ing on the peoples blood. The feeling pre-
vailed that the war was being carried on in
the interest of Emancipation, and for pur-
poses of personal enrichment. It is not
strange that the populace were indignant at
the attempt to drive them to the sham bles
that fanaticisn might triumph and cupidity
grow rich. They forgot their duty and
yielded to the worst instincts of their ma
lures. They are not innocent, but the deeper
guilt is on the souls of those who have pro-
woke the evil.
Again, we say, the responsibility tests with
the Black Republican party. While excite
m ent reigus we will not further urge their
but the time will come when
their countrymen will brand them SO that
ages will not efface the mark. @s' "a
