q The above is a aiispecimen of the fairness
and Justice shown by the Rebelpress Of vr-
ginia. Mr. Hnnnicntt is threatened with as
;sassination. He refers to the fact, and very
naturally declares that if be lis assassinatedi /
bis death'wili be avenged !, and for this he is
ridiculed.. and denounced as an q 'incendiary"
and an ,"oldg cuss." These bloody Rebels
who conscripted, bandcuffed and murdered
thousands Of their own countrymen in an
unholy war, now claim the right to rule and
the privilege Of assassinating their oppo-
nents, the Republicans; and ifrthis claim to
rule and assassinate is resisted, they pro-
nounce the man who resists an sincendiary.n
The Rebel leaders Of Richmond have also
forged letters and published them, contain
ing warnings from black men to white men
E to leave the City on account Of their politi7
cal opinions. We learn that Mr. Conway
addressed several thousands Of the. colored
people Of Richmond a few days since, and
asked them if any of them had thus threat
ened white men. They answered No with
one voice. He then asked them if any of
them approved such warnings They an
swered No / in tones of thunder. Itis the
old story OF the wolf and the lamb. The lamb
was drinking from the stream, and the wolf
was drinking from the spring that made the
stream, The wolf asked the lamb how it
dared to muddle the waters The lamb re-
piled that it was not doing SO, as the water
ran from the wolf to it. "It makes no diff
ference" said the wolf. Your father did
me an injury twelve months ago. and you
must atone for it," And with that he sprang
on the lamb and devoured it. -sl3,ii5t 81 =
The tone of the Rebel papers of the South
! clearly shows that if the Rebel leaders dared
to do it, they would commence at once to
murder the negroes and white Republicans.
But, thank God! these Rebels are poweriess.
! 1t will be the boundea duty of our loyafp peo-
pie so to tie their hands as to protect Them,
selves, and at the same time promote quiet
and good order, in tie State. a tiger that
has roamed at large. tearing all in its path,
! and which still exhibits its old passion for
blood, must be Gagged. And sosthis Devil Of
Rebellion must be Gagged. It is going to be
done 1t will be done in the interest Of
peace, and for the good Of the whole people.

Republican Meeting in the Court-house.
( On Thursday evening last q very large au-
dience assembled in the Courthouse to lis
ten to an address from Mr.. Conway. Of New
/ York Col. G. L. Harris was called to the
chair, and Capt, T. T. Lee, and J. B. Hutch
ing were appointed Secretaries. The re-
marks Of Mr.. Conway were enthusiastically
'applauded, and that part in which he scor-
ed the speakers at the Conservative meeting
held in the same hall a few hours before,
swas especially well received Mr.. Conways
speech was an able exposition Of Republican
principles. This speaker has already accom-
plished vast amount Of good in the unre-
constructed States. irSsd dl - 81 sfsi

confined himself to repelling the false and
sslanderous charges Of rebels and traitors
against the League; he then, moved avote
of thanks to Mr. Conway, which was unani,
mousy adopted. s.',,.e ~, n IA
Col. Deweese was next called out, when

Conservatives in overslaughing .the twenty

laughable manner. His remarks were dl-
