Of Browniow's Re-eiecsEA ,s r,,v ~ 100,
s,n. -, ara ,.,,, of an uprising on
the part OF the blacks has obtained rosvA
that may safely announce you that Rs ie"aoss7o
believe ourselves on the of crisis thai. Y.
to its extreme viii only eni in most disastrous
quences to the negro race Under the lead N m -
barber By the name of Lewis now County Oo,smiA
sioner and BARRIERS the chief devils in revoI oa,
vide Paris and Hayti) the poor deluded coord peoro
are making ready for the ''manufacure Of history.
All ingredients for this doubie toll and trouble are
already arranged for everything wool ncaded; anf1t
only lacks aro than yet prevails to boil and
fuse the beastly into amalgamatei party de-
terriined TO rule the white nherors of tao soil Lewis
says no will have ST. Domingo affair Of it, in default
peaceabe supremacy To this he and his white COLLEAGUES
are educating their dupes who nightly Ieotured aad
drilled in the part they are TO play. Humanity
shudders as it refuses believe that
degraded as these named could be guilty OF the
contemplation OF the horrors that follow cmeute
by the negroes But is 1t may yet he given
us to record that an ex-mnste of the Gospel who finds
politics and deviltry more profitable than echong the
words Of peace together with ex-barber, are the
leaders of bloody riot looking TO exterminaton per-
baps The police commissioners are possessed Of the
prevalent notion and this morning have called for 500
special policemen be for duty during election
day This 800 with l40 of the regular Meropoans, and
about 100 three companesI of United States in
fantry will comprise the party OF law and order in OPP
position the barber and his friends, who confident
ly assert themselves in numbers fully 1000 tight
ing men, well armed and have stated, well drilled
or course there about 5000 well tried ex-union
and OK soldiers here but they declare tem
selves unwilling to have anything to do in the trouble
unless it assumes a shape most likely, when they
will allies of the law and order men
of the regular army and metropolitan police and
being In majority, will proceed 10 administer justice
mayhap according TO the code of Judge Lynch, copying
closely after the example of the Vigilance Committee of
Francisco THIS really what is to be feared, and
this is what fast tending to unless Uncle sam in-
erposes his right arm in our BEHALF 10 provo that my
position is correctly taken will give, almost oeodtm
conversations that TRANSFERRED between two negroes and
two well known gentlemen of this CITY, one OF whom
ing the late war. One of these gentlemen, always
Unonist, speaking Sunday last with an Old negro
man who nursed HIM aud 'totea, nun wnea an iniaut
said, ''Weii Mat, 80 you have joined the Loyal
League"
Eyes, Masr I.couldn't see peace out OF it, SO

tells u.s. and does Rev. Mr. Eaton"
s'Woi but if take property away from us and
divide it among you, don't You know that ia a few
years nearly all of Will be IN the hands OF this barber
and this so,calcd Minister That as they ro2bsd me
matey steal this land from you under one pretext or
another"
"Donna but you right mas'r. But dats wha, de bar
Der Lewis and Eaton say An dey is armn' de colored

"what are you going to dor viii you go to the polls
sNo sar with broad grin, 81 knows better

the riot Of 1862 an do barber Lewis says dey
Here the colIoquy ended with Mr. D. telling his quou-
dam servant that his head was level and that he should
by all stay away IRON the polls II what ne stated
was true the negro avowng again. III the most solemn
| manner, that it was all true as gospel
In the other case the General alluded 10 speaking to
Gift Of CAB and great deal OF aspiration, was told BY
| him that he was q member Of the Loyal League
sWnatn says the General, what do you propose to
| accomplish through this Loyal Lacquer"
eve propose through il 10 maintain our rights"
"But your rights are not assaied, ana 40 no. near
that any OF white citizens have any notion OF assa
ing them" M, ~, ,e,a.rs think !, bes, ,ve
should be prepared any emergency and so to the
polls in body and armed. And they advise u.s. Il any
opposition the least in the world is offered, we must at
pu nt Marin such as you But must have our rights
We have nothing to do with Confederate soldiers, bat
are determined TO vote. That's what the barber Lewis
now Commissioner Of the County, says"
advise youn said the General, "to put away your
arms and not think of any difficulty Go TO the polls
at time, the same as white men 90, deposit your
votes and then 20 about your ordinary business The
white people will not interfere with you.
sNo, sir We would ike to do SO, but must obey
fha Inafr q
how TO them, aud have determined ON our course
The newspapers are against US we consider .ne PPa,
worse than Ar1lance aud II anything occurs Will
| take care OF it,"
thus, you see IL is foregone conclusion with these
eacuers to have trouble TO make war. and 70 indulge
their brutal instincts in boodsned and riot during
which they steal and punder NJ their pleasure
In apprehension of this trouble there has been hte
said abou, The Mexican difficulty; but there can be no
question that the public opinion OF this section de-
cdedly in favor OF the inmedae occapaon u
to which the Mexicans are prey The announcement
OF your Washington correspondent OF Stewards Ittie
telegraph railroad trade with Juarez Is regarded
here as full explanation OF the reasons inducing tns
position that nstute statesman has taken In oolserins
M the republic 1t Is hoped, however that the Presi-
dent will with the assistance OF Congress- naug nrate
measures upset this nice little scheme laid Tor the
possession Of Mexicoa which, besides that it
would give the groassrs peace and security would afford
pIace power and pelf" for needy sx-solders ana pom

the success OF Brownow, who, rumor has IT, Is on MS
death bed He and his kite flyers have so liked things
that with or without legal majority ne can sun nou
the seat be has dsgaced For instance, he has already
thrown out under pretence OF ulesalty the regis
traons OF fourteen conservative Counties; and he u
peparsd as he did last year and the year before with
Shelby county, TO set aside the votes Of the people
every county that gives majority against him 10 any
case he holds the game In bis hands and will pla,
