The New York Tribune alleges that the
Nee York Erprsss has threatened that Il lis
editor WAS arrested BY order of the President
the arrest shoald be relaliated "by the lawlees
seiaure OF the editor vi the Tribune and bis
incarceration where be could not be released
or foand, aad that apy violence committed on
is establishment should be avenged on the
Tribune" aud adds, that such "inculcations
would turn tho whole laod into an arsna Of
personal ieudi aud reciprocal outrage
The whole land IS nov sn aroma OF outra
yes, aud will continue 30 under abolition Ad-
miHtsttatIons State And National unless re-.
sort is had TO retaliation. The Tribune will
not directly request the arrest and imprisou
msnt Of . political opponent, but IL will de
nounes him as "copperhead" nnd traitor"
and Justify the whole systom OF arbitrary ar
rssts. James Brooks has morally aud legal
" a. mach right to arrest Horace Greeley for
the expression Of political opinions and shut
him up 10 dark cellar, rs Abraham Lincoln
has 70 order BY telegraph the arrest OF a citi
zen for the same reason aud coniine him in
Fort Warren.
H. in retaliation for such lawlessness upon
the part Of Me Brooks, Mr. Greeley would be
justi6able in killing him, since the law afford.
ed no redress, the citizen arrested by telegraph.
g
justified in shooting Nc Lincoln lf the
mobbing and murder Of democrats shall be
continued, and they are denied lawful protec
tiou, there is no method by which Law can be
so speedily aud permanently re.established Rs
by the mobbing and killing of aboliton,sts,
Law IL enforced under democratic Gov.
ornor in New York. 1t Is not enforced under
an abolition Governor in Illinois, for there ure
several murdorsrs now at large in this State,
and no attempt IL made TO arrest and punish
them. The murderers OF Bellinger are shield.
cd by the military in defiance Of law, in Wis
cousin. Governor Yatos Of Illinois, in a
speech in this city two or three EVENING" ago,
said democrats had no rights which negroes
we're bound to respect jim Leno, United
States Senator from Kansas, boasts that "cpp
perheads' arc shot down us outlaws In that
State. Governor Kirkwood, OF Iowa, said to
his partisans, you kill and will pardon -
Democratic newspapers have been mobbed
in all the western States, aud the law has al.
forded no redress aud given no promise OF
protection.
Those engaged in tho mobs are not the
most guilty parties. Their passions are in
famed by incendiary appeals in radical news
papers, and they are assured protection by ab-
clifton officials, Abraham Lincoln would not
dare unlawfuly to arrest and imprison citi-
zen Il the press Of his party condemned such
action. Governor Yates would not dare to
defy law when drunk, or refuse to execute the
law when sober, if the press Of his party in
this State declared that law should DO main
tanned The mob spirit must be quelled. II
law will not protect democrats, they must sub
duecthe mob spirit without law II in that
subjugation, blood is made TO flow in every city
and village, let those whose lswlessness in.
