EFFECT UPON HUNNICUTT- That our read
'ers may pal ticipate in the merrimeut caused
by Hunnicutt's rawlings over the result or the
northern elections, VIC reproduce the following
extract from his leading editorial yesterday. -
Richmond Dispatch.
ut may require storpls, thunder and light
mig from heaven; it may require earthquakes;
it may require war Of twenty years duration;
it may require the utter Insolvency OF the
whole nation; it may require the slaughttrlng
OF half the inhabitants of the nation: but JUS
tice will be melted out at the last
1t is extremely unfortunate that the control
Of the coored population OF the South sEo uld
be SO much in the ands of such hot-head,'d,
reckless, and intem] ,erate men as Hunnlcutxs
the editor Of the Ric hmond New Nation. HIS
inhammatory harans,ues have done incalcuable
mischief by breeding hostility between the
white and colored races. We confess We DO
not understand why Gen. Schofeld permits
such utterances as are credited to this pestilent
demagogue. The New York Herald cores
pondent for instance, reports him as saying to
his colored audience in recent speech in
Charles City county, Again, you have no
property. The white race owns houses and
lands Some of you are old and feeble and
cannot carry the musket, but can apply the
torch to the dwellings of your enemies >
Mischief, and nothing bit mischief, can result
from such language. Nashinoton Express.
