bpyOnet. In aiming the negroes, there
may be a still greater ultimate danger.
II b the reign Of a faction, and not of a
Dictator, that Is TO be feared. 1t already
exists, and is meant to be perpetuated.
Fhe-eonsequenees of a domination thus
maintained by force and injustice, must
needs be discontents, disturbances, col
l%isionss end ultimately revolution. A
large body Of the people, ofthe superior
race whom Con has invested with the
right to rule and direct, by giving them
the higher and keener intellect, cannot
long be disfranehised in a republic and
If passion and prejudice had not Blinded
men, and made them like r~attlesnakes
in August, it would be felt by all, that
the resort to a white and black standing
army, to maintain a faction in power
and continue an abominable injustice
which is also an execrable stupidity, is a
crime against public liberty and right
and justice that all ought to resent as a
personal injury done to each.
Meanwhile, we can wait until the re-
action comes. It is as certain as the re-
turn of dawn; and the people believe,
with BACON, that "revenge is a kind of
wild Justice" That is daily being done
in Tennessee, which deserves the pun-
ishment inflicted in Rome on those who
endeavoured to subvert the Government.
The Governor has read enough not to
need to be reminded that it is always
some private injury dene by tyrants that
relieves the public of their yoke. The
violence offered to LUCRETIA freed Rome
Of the Tsrquins that to VIRGINIA, Of
the Decemvirs; and the private wrong
of TELL. liberated Switzerland from the
despotism Of GEsLER. The tyrsnt,
whether man or faction, olways sleeps
over a volcano, with a sword suspended
by a hair over his head.

The Union Republican Committee al
Washington announces to the Southern
people that Congress retains full power
owe the matter of the admission of the
Southern States, and that when they
shall have been reconstructed, they will
still not be r~eceivedinto the Union unless
all their powers of government are in
the hands of men Of uDdoubted loyalty.
Those Conservatives who have fondly
dreamed Of getting control of their States
by registering and voting and bidding
for negro votes are thus rudely awakened
from their pleasant dream, as if a cata-
ract Of ice-cold .sea-water had been sud
denly dashed upon them. They are
warned in time, thank God, TO prevent
a useless humiliation. If they go on to
register and vote for a Convention, or
for delegates to a Convention after that,
there is nothing to be said to them ex-
eept the old formula with which Judges
conclude their sentences of persons guilty
Of capital Offences" May God have
mercy on your souls ~

EXCESS 0F

From the st. Louis Republica =.
Half 8 million Of Europeans Will have
immigrated to this country before the
end Of the year, and more, probably, will
come next year. In t~wenty-four months
a population in numbers equal to that OF
Missouri reaches our shores in twice
that time they could fill a state with a
population as large as that of Illinois,
and their descendants ineludedl an i'm
migration Of six years is more than suffi-
Gent 10 fill the United States with a
population as great in numbers as that
which oar cogntry had when it declared
its independence.
We ~fOresee, in regard to immigration,
that it will be the same as with any
other condition of things which COM
mences slowly, then increases, then pro-
crosses rapidly, theh reaches the climax,
then keeps fOr a certain time at an aver
age stand until it begins to decline, then
rapidly decreases, and finally not only
stops altogether, but takes even the op-
pOsite direction. Looked at in the COM
mencement with favor, its development
is hailed as a great blessing, and IL pro-
NOTED by sll possible means until its ex-
orbitant dimensions begin to raise Gus
PieiOp. Then ONE the desire, and
finally the imperative cry OF the nation
to stop it. just 20 commenced the
feudsl system just SO in our own
times the system of Capitalization. Pro-
lection of the national industry has the
same history printing, railroading, re-
ligious sscts, agragrianism, and a thous-
and other matters are moving exactly in
the same circle. Feudalism, for iH-
stance, was undeniably al the beginning
a most beneficial institution. 1t in
creased until IL involved the whole world
in one system Of bondage. AS even the
very greatest blessings will, by the ego
tism Of men, always turn into evil, Just
so did the system of mutual help, which
was the original basis of feudalism, turn
into its opposite. A terrible revolution
had to free the world from a eFrse which
at the beginning was desigf@a as the
surest remedy against barbarity, and as
a bulWark Of the weak and the poor
against the encroaehments Of the rich
and mighty.
In regard to foreign immigration we
are at this moment in that stage of pub
lie sentiment, when to oppose or hinder
it, is regarded as a crime against the
increasing prosperity of the country.
We are so perfectly convinced that dense
populations indicate the happiness of a
countrY-thRt crowded cities are the
absolute condition Of civilization-that
even when foreign immigrants reach
the harb0r of New York at a rsrv@f
from 5000 to 1000 a week, we still send
commissioners and agents to Europe to
increase it.
1t is very plain what the resultof these
immense aocesslons to our population
will be. Republicanism will soon be-
&fhe as impossible here as it is in Eu-
rope. 1t was quite as much the instinct
as the reason of the Southern people,
Shat caused their restless desire to sepa-
rate from the Northera hordes that are
so rapidly preparing for an Empire.

C-nxDIrIoN or MIsS0rRr


The st. Louis RepuJliean gives the
following vivid picture Of the condition
of Missouri. 1t needs only a few addi-
tional touches to make it an admirable
" counterfeit presentment" of Tennes-
see, AnRO Iafera., 4:
II Kentucky presents an example of
the happy effects of good local self-gov-
eminent, Missouri furnishes an equally
or more conspicuous example OF the dire
effects of Oficious intermeddling by
federal usurpation, and of the blight
ing influence of local faction, bent
on partizan, bigoted supremacy, regard
less of the great principles of justice and
the common veal. Here in Missouri,
through federal intermeddling and
usurpation a band of malignants, adven-
turers and renegades, destitute of ability
and f~earfully destitute of integrity, got
political possession of the State; and
conscious of the inability to maintain
themselves in power if the people were
allowed the freedom of choice, they re-
solved to secure by ohicanery and fraud
what had at first been obtained by force.
The is, such a frightful in
stance of yillainous misgOvernment as is
scarcely paralleled in American history.
In order to secure a local ascendaney so
fraudulently obtained, the great mass of
our best citizens, who contribute the
most largely, through property taxation,
to the maintenance of the state govern
ment, were practically d~lsfranehised
and thus those who sustained the prinei-
pal burdens of government, were denied
all participation in the control or direc-
ton Of its affairs. Thus the maioritv
were practically overruled by the minor
ity, a state of things at variance with all
proper notienso Justice, and in shameful
violation of the whole system of COWS
eminent always recognized and hereto
fore maintained by the whole American
people. But this was not all, nor the
worst. The freedom of speech-heretofOre
considered an American birthright-was
suppressed by violence; the utterance of
a word In censure of Outrages daily prac-
ticed was denounced as a crime, and
subjected the speaker to the assaults of
the ruling rutfians, who, in many in
stances, murdered without cOmpunetion,
and robbed with all the sang froid of
professional ~freebooters. Under such a
domination legislation became worse
than mockery official corruption and
embezziement became the rule, and all
the evil Influences of reckless misRoveru-
ment and official %ruffianism spread their
baleful consequences throughout all the
qualifications Of society. Indeed, in
many parts Of the state, he was fortunate
who was able to retain even a moiety of
what was his own.
