Daily Ohio statesman. [volume] (Columbus, Ohio) 1855-1870, 1866-08-16

The Radical loyal papers, including the
very Intensely loyal Morning Journal have
been laboring industriously ever since the
New Orleans riot, to fasten the blame of
that disgraceful occurrence upon the "Cop-
perheads," as they style them, and the In
reference of President JOHNSON. The fact
is, this disgraceful affair was concocted, IN
stigated, and set In motion by this fanatic
DosTIE, encouraged, no doubt, by the STE
VEINS and SUMNER Radical and negro-lov-
ing members of the Rump Congress. To
prove conclusively who 1t was that inaug-
urated and instigated this bloody riot we
give the following extract from speech
delivered by the LGmented DosTIE, on the
Friday evening preceding the meeting OF
the Convention, from q platform in front
of the Mechanics Institute, to large and
mixed assemblage of negroes and whites
on Phillippa street:
81 want the negroes to have the right OF
suffrage, and we will give them this right
to vote. There will be another meeting
here tomorrow night, and on Monday lthe
day Of the ConventionJ | want you 10 come
in your power. want no towards 10 come;
/ want only brave men to come, VINO Will
stand by us, and we will stand by them'
Come, then, In your power 10 tnat meet
ing. or never 90 to another political meet
ing In this State. We hare three hundred
thousand black men 10Th tohtte hearts. Also,
one hundred thousand good and true Union
white men, who will fight for and beside
the black race against three hundred thou
sand hell-hound rebels, for now there are
but two parties here. There are no Cop
perheads now. Colonel Field, now making
a speech inside, Is heart and soul with us.
He and others, who would not, year ago,
speak to me, now take me by the hand. We
are four hundred thousand to three hun
dred thousand, and can not only tohtp, but
dnRitildte the other party. Judge ADel,
with his grand jury, may indict us. Har-
~ Hays, with his posse cOlnmttdtus, may De
there, and the police, with more than
thousand men sworn in, may interfere
with the Convention; therefore, let all
brave men, and not towards, come here on
Monday. There will be no such puerile af-
fair as at Memphis; but, If interfered with,
the streets of New Orleans will run with
blood. The black race, with four hum
dred thousand, are bound to rule the white
race of three hundred thousand. The re0-
els say that they have submitted and accept
the situation, but want you to do the work
and they will do the voting; and will you
throw over them the mantle Of charity and
oblivion?'
Bear in mind that this was spoken In the
presence and hearing Of the citizens OF New
Orleans, white and black. What other
feelings could it possibly excite but vio-
lence and bloodshed? Are the people-the
white inhabitants of that large city-to be
menaced with "three hundred thousand black
men toith sotite hearts" Are they to be told
that these three hundred thousand black
men could not only 'iohip, but Gnnihildte"
them? Are they to be told that 'the black
race, with four hundred thousand, are
bound to rule the white racer" Are they
to be told that they would be disfranchised
and ruled over by negroes9 Are they to
be told all this by the s.0eet-Scented ldnented
DosT1E, and submit tamely to such indig-
mites? If they had done SO, they would
not deserve the name of American citizens.
The Journal man is endeavoriDg to con-
vince his readers that DosTIE is martyr
whose soul, in company, with JOHN
BRowN's, is "marching on" and he is deter
mined that DosT1E-the immortal-lament-
ed DosT1E, shall be canonized by the great
loyal Sanhedrim, and his name at once reg
istered in their calenya of saints. so that
the followers of the negro and negro wor-
shippers may render his memory due hom-
age!
