Chicago as Seen and Described by
a RcpubIican Editor,

The Radicals have long talked of the
North being governed by u better tone of
morals and possessing higher civiliza-
lion' than prevails at the South. Judging
10y the confessions of its newspapers. one
would be oNcnsed t0r supposing that Chi
cago does not illustrate the existence of the
yaunted superiority claimed hy the North.
The Chicago Post tHepublican) of October
lo, says:
IF any living RATIONAL reasoning cren
ture, Is q disbeliclcr la the total dcprayity
Of man, a siN moths' residence in Chicago
win cure him of the iniatuatiun. Few
cities on this continent &C America are in
tested by n race of more unmitigatcl wi
lains. Murder. npihe, outrage and cyrrv
other Oncn-e in the catalogue of crime, ar,.
daily pcrpctlHted, The sWiit vengeance
Of the law, which Is almost sure TO follow.
seems not to deter the Nvretchcs from pvr-
suing tile objects of their malice, cnpi,lity
or passion. Virtue is made the sport OF
every designing Lothario. and, boldly en-
tering the sacred precincts of the domestic
circle, they snatch their victims from homes
Of happiness and virtue, and consign them
to disgrace and mlamy."
This is u specimen of pretty strong
writing, but We know no onP that is ia
miliar with Chicago who win dispute thc
accuracy of what Is alleged of ID.
