This Wilson nnl kclly have done aud are
now doing. Il is we'll for them that the
South is under the bayonet but thus tact
onl, decpcns the infamous cow'rdico OF
,he;r conduct. We venture the assertion
t,, n, community north Of the Potomac
would permit similar insults TO be put upon
it with impunity. Recently IN Quincy
Illinois. an anti-popcry preacher came
olonp and announced his intention to show
mn the Scarlet Lady and expose the enor-
u;ty Of her followers in public lecture
The audience was assembled aud the
nrc,chcr hcran, but before he had finish
-, ,is cvorliurn. which was in tho genu-
inc Wilson-K ely. style Of Insult and 'ltu-
no-o,;or commo.ion arose in the room.
Tho p1cacher was hustled from the ros-
trr,, shown tho front door and invited
to quit. He appealed to the mayor to
rrotcct him in his rights of free speech
He VAS told by tLat functionary that 10
public meetings the audience had rights as
we'll as the speaker. He WAS therefore
,roin invited to lcave-and he left There
;s.a moral in this little Quincy incident
xh;ch VIC commend to the digestion OF tie
radical evangelists from the East who arc
now wandering. to and fro. about the
South, denouucing and insulting all who
differ With them IN opinion.
