The FRED. DOUGLASS organ, few
days ago asserted that in a speech made
recently by Captain is. BURDETT' that
gentleman applauded the conduct of the
rioters at New Orleans and declared,
with an oath, that the members of the
Convention deserved to be killed, The
statement contained not word OF truth;
it was false from beginning to end. We
have received from an authentic source
a statement of the circumstances which
probably gave rise to the slanderous
story circulated BY our Contemporary
The facts are these Is .ds..a,. ..a.... 4.
Captain BURDETT was interrupted IN
his speech by some Radical who asked
"Hew about the New Orleans riots7" He
replied that the blood shed in those riots
was attributable to tho conduct OF
STEVENS, SUMNER, BANKS, s. Co., who
arranged to call a bogus Convention
whose purpose was to asnrp the legal
governments of Louisiana and enfran-
ohise negroes and repeat upon the whites
the tyranny now practised in West Yir-
ginia, viz !: the disfIancbisement ola suf
fcisnt number of the whites to
put the political power of the State in
the hands of the radicals. He said that
q people who would submit to such an
usurpation would not deserve to be
called American citizens. This is, in
substance, and, as nearly as can be re-
membered, the exact language used by
Captain BuRDETT upon the occasion
alluded to by the IntelEgsncer in such
terms of unworthy horror and misplaced
Indignation al If the negro suffrage organ
possesses spark OF manliness, it will at
once retract the talseho0d into which it
has been led by some lying correspond

Captain BURDETT is a noble man aud
true soldier. He is one of these brave
spirits who. now that the war is over,
can shake hands with his fallen foe
and make him in peace his friend,
He loves the Uuion and is unwilling
to see the blessings Of free gov.

comrades fought now FILTERED away
in an effort to give suffrage and
equality to the negroes. The following,
clipped from the IntsEligencsr, about the
olos~ of the war will serve so show the
est;glation u which the Captain was
held by the editor of that sheet before
our contemporary became SO radical a
