The Abol.ionists III all parts OF the
country are inticing the soldiers" to acts
OF violence against Democratic newspapers,
thereby gratifying their own malice, ard
with their characteristic cowardly in
stincls, hoping TO escape responsibility OF
these outrages. They know that the
Democratic press can never be other than
the enemy OF their repulsiye doctrines ofI
amalgamation, miscegenation and athe-
ism, and hence by every species of Sian
der aud Misrepresentation, they seek to
make the soldiers their cats-paw in
these deeds of violence. The assault, last
week, upon the Office Of the Empire nt
DAYTON, Ohio, was VIGOROUSLY gotten up
bv the prominent Abolitionists, and the
soldiers" made drunk before they would
consent to the vile work planned for
them to do. The Ohio Statesman, Of Tues
day, records still another OF these outra-
yes. 1t learns from a gentleman from
Darke County that the establishment of
the Greenville Democrat was entirely de-
stroyed by an Abolition mob, on Saturday
night, with the knowledge and connivanCe
ol the leaders Of that party, in that section
.. the State. The editor Of the Abolition
organ at Greenville is reported to have
told a member Of his family, on leaving
his house that evening, that he would
probably not be back till midnight, as a
raid was to he made on the Dcmocrat
office. The law Office Of Hon William Al
len, ox Member Of Congress, and the Office
Of Dr. John j.. MatChctt, another prom
inent Democrat, were badly injured by
the mob. The Democrats have notified
the Abolition leaders Of Darke county,
that they will be required to bring porpe-
traitors OF this outrage TO Condign punish
ment, or they will have TO submit to retail
iatlon; and they are only given till next
Friday to do the work.
