New Orleans, Aug. 23d, 1866.
RADICALS ON a RAMPAGE.-Simply to show
what fools people can make of themselves, we
copy the following, specially sent to us by radi
cal club in Washington City:
WHEREAS, Civilization and humanity has again
been outraged by the barbarous and demoniac
slaughter of legally constituted convention of
unoffending and unarmed citizens of the United
States, in the city of New Orleans and State of
Louisiana; and
WHEREAS, Such revolving, premeditated and
preeoncerted atrocities, perpetrated by and at
the instgation of the rebel officials Of that city,
on the S0th of July, 1866 upon the loyal citizens
thereof, will be denounced and condemned by all
honest men throughout the civilized globe and
WHEREAS, We discern from the many and
severe wounds inflicted upon the bodies of those
helpless, uparmed, murdered Unionists, the same
spirit of malignity and hate towards the uphold
e. of the government Of the United States as these
rebels exhibited in starving and numbering prison
ers of war; in burning towns and cities of the
North, and Introducing contagious and deadly
diseases therein; in destroying unarmed and
peaceful commerce; in prosecuting and murder
ing Union men Of the South, and assassinating the
President Of The United States therefore be it
Resolued, That we, the Soldiers and Sailors
Union Of Washington,lD. O., in our own name, and
representing hundreds Of thousands of our fellow
soldiers and sailors throughout tie country, do
pronounce the massacre of the unofending and
unarmed Unionists of New Orleans, on the Both Of
July last as themost wanton, cruel andInalignant
butchery of human beings ever recorded, and it
will stand forth in its unparalleled enormity
burning disgrace to christianity and civilization
throughout all time.
Resoloed, That we heartily sympathize aud CON
dole with the relatives and friends of the muir
dered patriots, and the cause in which they died
receives our hearty concurrence and approval
RESOLVED, That as three hundred thousand of
our companions IN arms have fallen victims to
rebel barbarism and maiignity, we recognize the
butchered Unonists Of New Orleans as preemi-
nently worthy, by the principles to which they
were devoted and the ordeal of blood through
which they passed to swell the number of the
Immortal throng who died opposing treason and
traitors. n rs 4t #H
Resolued That the spirit of intolerance and
oppression manifested by the rebel officials who
sanctioned, planned and put in execution the
murder Of said Unionsts, calls for marked rebuke
from the government of the United States, and a
full and impartial investigation of the atrocities
committed by said officials connivance and
assent, to the end that the murderers may receive
that justice which their horrid deeds merit.
ResoItet, That we will neyerrecOgnize a peace

sideration of their and their country's best inter
