A great deal has been written in refer
ence to the late difieultiss encountered by
one Hon. (tl W. ID. vKBLLEY, of Philadel-
phia, whilst making what he terms a
tsMissionafy tour through the 'Sodthern
States.ssATzSt e - s.sAss,1s1a'E
-KeLLEY is of that class of obscure indi-
viduals that are, painting for notoriety.
Lacking the ability and genius to create a
sensation at home, he packed his carpet
sack, and Iresorted to that section of our
country where society is in disturbed
condition, In which to provoke difficulty,
create sensation, and secure that coveted
notoriety. After he succeeded in his nefa-
rious purposes at one point, we find him at
another announcing to the. people that he
was there to "heal the wounds of my
bleeding- country" Poor, hypocritical,
whining, Insignificant wretch. = - 1eaAs
What business had he to assume that he
was capableof healing wounds, when the
simple touch, of his worthless carcass Is
poison to any body polite? demagogue,
known and recognized as such at home.

practiced by politicians of that class, he
goes forth q missionary to preach peace to an
e1asperated people. And what is the result?
An0sher wound has been inflicted upon
the body polite, OF the State of Alabama,
aud the name of one w. D. KELLEY has
become known to the people of the United
States. Another pretext has been furnish
ed the Radical press to ifritate the public
mind of the South and add to the probable
ities of making our troubles endless. Had
W.D. KELLEY remained at home he would
then have used the ''poor1 means within
his power'of shealing the wounds of our
bleeding country .- ~ s1l7.-Is7 b,lssi
But this was his only possible means of
securing notoriety., ss-,., -.-.-
He had the example of numerous instan-
ces where men had gained notoriety with
party that lives upon the misfortunes it
inflicts upon a suffering and oppressed
peeple.zlAgu l7s--a qzA staz zsoHE
KELLEY, had his programme prepared
,andi published. He even went SO far as to
secure a special agent at Mobile to arrange
for q sensation.
In his hYpocritical appeal atMontgomery
he claims he delivered himselfof the speech
heintende6 to have, made at Mobile, and
that he thought he ought not to be ''shot''
for it., Whilst such creatures at home lack
mental power to do any considerable harm,
yet if KELLEY had received such punish
.ment as he really deserved for his effront-
cry and impndence upon his return to his
own home, he would have been most forci-
bly, reminded that he has proven to be of
that class Of comforters' that forge lies and
that he was a t.physician of no value.oA
Ip. the name ofreason and humanity,
how long is this practice of glorifying
every hypocritical knave who succeeds in
infiicting wound upon Southern society
to be tolerated ?
/. NKEEIEY admits he had no business there,
and then whiningly begs the question by
assuming that he came to s'hea1 the wounds
Of our bleeding country" and yet the Radi
cal journals take up the theme and use
their efforts to create discord and hatredin
the minds OF the people OF both North and
South. II Y . 2 ~ 2. =
The BRowNLows, KELLEYs, BUTLERs, Lo-
CANS, lMoRToNs, and host of Radical
.demagogues have incdcated such perni-
reious doctrines in the minds of the people
that the veriest scamp, is enabled to in
volve himself in political difficulty and
enlist the applause and approval of the
Radical press and people, @-<-s.r...,
After this sad occurrence has left its trace
upon society, the people are simply left to
sinquire .swho is w. d. KELLEY ?"
ext If the Radical press and people instead
Of encouraging such vagabonds would an
swer, g an nnscrnpulous, obscure, egotis-
tical, meddlesome demagogue from Phila-
dslphia, who in his anxiety to gain notori-
ETY. resorted to a mean. contemplate trick,
to the great injury of the people of Ala
bams. and who is deserving of the censure
and reproach of all good men," there would
be less of these difficulties than there are
and the KELLEYs of the country would re-
main humble citizens at home and that
much 70 be desired "peace and happiness"
talked Of would be restored to the coun-
try. .-,rwrT<
But while such brainless knaves are ex-
Itolled and honored for their reckless acts,
no such results can follow. If the Radi-
Gals would prepare list of the names of
the men they have thus honored and ap-
lplauded, with brief biography attached
thereto, of each, we think even they could
not fail to blush at the infamy it would pre-
sent.
Ifthe Republic Is to be preserved by such
men, God save the Republic!
