There exist no darker pages In European
history than those which portray the transac-
tons Of the French Jacobins. Under tho name
Of liberty, RIGHTEOUSNESS and infdelity were
fostered. A vile Partisan character was wor-
shipped as the Goddess Of Reason, and tho
utmost license was taken, il not granted, TO com
init unspeakable atrocities. Women and chill
dren fell alike before the unbridlcd passions Of
the mob. Assassinations, palace burnings and
dag and night Tho leaders Of tho French
Revolution provoked storm Of popular fury
they could not sllay, and In tho torrent OF
blood that followed they were themselves ult,-
mately overwhelmed. II was thus with the
Jacobins Of other days; and now word about
the Jacobins OF the present day.
Tho moral sense Of The American people has
no doubt been shocked by the displays and
harengues of the party, headed by rcputed
preacher OF The Gospel, who are now preambu-
lating the country invoking all kinds of male
dictions upon the people Of the South In
stead OF preaching peace and good will to all
men, this preacher calls for an army from the
North TO consist of three divisions. TO invade
The South. "Onc division 10 consist Of mus
kerry and artillery, TO do the killing, another 10
be armed with torches snd turpcntine, 10 do
the burning, and the third 10 consist Of sur
vcyors, with lines and chains, 10 mark OF and
distribute the lands" Is this tho language
tina, should be uttered by q follower OF the
meek and lOwly Saviour. Is this Q
BETTING invocation from an apostle OF .
Christian church Sxch an apostle! II would
seem that no human being impressed with the
smallest instincts OF humanity would endcavor
to Inspire great and magnr nimous people,
as the Northern people are. with such berbs-
rous sentiments. But il il not altogether TO
such personsges as this preacher that these
inhuman appeals are confined. We have seen
the governor Of q State following in the
same strnin, and have found his utterances
echoed by = bellicose general of volunteers
We have already heard what certain radical
members Of Congress would do under the
die tation OF such men a. Thsd Stevens and
Senator Chandler. All these Jacobins are in
viting the North 70 fresh conquest OF the
South, 10 resubdue people already huinili-
ated and impoverished, who have returned 10
their fcalty TO the Union, acknowledged the
old flag and are ready, as far |. they are
able, 70 bear their share of the burdens Of
reunited country. One wants no reunion un-
less tho South be shackled hand and foot like
brutes in = butchers cart Another would
send the Presidents reconstruction policy TO
very warm place and keep il there, encircled
by bristling bayouets. Another cries for more
blood-"Blood, blood, Iago''--snd demands
coniiscaiiop and devastation. still another,
with less mercy than frontier Indian scslper,
would re.,ucc the South 70 a condition OF
vassalate worse than ever characterized
feudol ages. And s'ill another would
have the government bang every rebel
in the South, wipe out oil stae lincs
and make The South one WASH territory
70 be reshaped a. IL there never existed q
Southern people. Although ripe for mischief
aud bent upon arouslnv the worst and most
malignant passions &c the people of the
North, II is Fortunate these furies do not repre-
sent the gresA mass Of the republican party.
