The New Orleans Murders,

Z On our second page We copy COM
munication from the Indianapolis
Journal relative to the New Orleans
murders. The Journal vouches for
the author of the letter as a gentle
man7of truth aud a citizen of Indiana,
but withholds his name, as to give it
would cost him his life. If any of
our readers can peruse the account of
the horrors of this American st. Bar.
tholomew without "a eshudder, they
are made of different material from
what we have hitherto believed. 1t
is for refusing such outlaws as com
posed the New Orleans mob admis-
sion to Congress, that the Union party
has been denounced as traitors and
disunionists. Supporting the Consti-
tuition and indorsing '@my policy" as
the Copperhead party understand it,
is to push aside loyal men and give
place in the law making department
of the Government to men who thus
trample all law and justice under
their feet and perpetrate atrocities
that send thrill of horror through
the entire civilized world.
The issue presented to the people
in the present political canvass is,
shall men whose hands are red with
the blood of patriots, be admitted to
4 the Halls of Congress?

Time to Arouse.


We have examined cur exchanges
with some care, and we have not
found solitary paper advocating the
principles of the Confederate Democ-
racy and. sustaining ANDY JoHNsoNs
policy, that has dared to condemn the
New Orleans outrages and crimes.
They either approve the conduct OF
the rebel assassins, by declaring, as
did the Chicago Times, of the I'd inst,
that their victims were |" pestilent ruff
fans and demagogues fortunately
killed." or they sheer and mock at
the suferings of the Union men, and
the horror everywhere felt at the
atrocities committed, as did the Indi-
annapolis Herald in the following in
famous language
The mourning of the -whang-
doodle-or radical papers, over the
death of some of their black pets in
New Orleans is terrific
Or they ignore the whole affair, as
though it had occurred in the Feejee
Islands.
We ask thinking men what all this
means? Has humanity in the United
States, In the middle Of the nineteenth
century, approximated so near the
brute that men claiming to be Chris:
tians can look upon such scenes with
complaceney, and without protesting
against them? Does the success of
the Democratic party depend upon
the Endorsement of such crimes?
Dare not any of that party, either of
its leaders or papers, condemn such
outrages, lest the party be damaged
by arousing the indignation of its
Southern members?
If such be the case, is it not time
that the law-abiding and peace-loving
people of this country unite and sweep
the infamous political organization out
of existence? No fact is more appa-
rent than that the existence of the
Democratic party depends upon the
admission of the rebels of the South
to all therights and privileges of loyal
men. Nay, more. than that. It's ex-
istence depends upon the admission
of those men, with the additional
power they now possess, by represent
ing their slaves in Congress. Are the
people willing to perpetuate a party
that approves and Endorses outrages
similar to those perpetrated in New
Orleans, upon terms so hard? Are
hesloyaI men of the Northern States
willing to admit that South Carolini-
ans are entitled to vote for every
negro in that State, in order to save
the Democratic party? We cannot
believe it. On the. contrary, large
majority of the Northern people re-
gard this as kaJwhite mans Govern
ment, and are opposed to having ne
gro constituencies represented in Con-
gress by white rebels. A majority of
them are peaceful and obedient Itos
law, and are opposed to admitting
outlaws and murderers to their halls
Of legislation, as law makers, or TO
positions of honor and trust, as ad-
ministraters of the laws.
We call upon every Union man
to look the dangers that threaten
him squarely1 in the face-view them
in all their hideous proportions, and
then ask himself if 1t is not time to-
be up and doing. Watchfulnessg
courage and work are needed to defeat.

vert the Government by arms, now
