tfrom tne Philadelphia Eress.i
Every days tdings from the South are
fraught with deeper-growihg dependency
on the part of loyal men. The seed sowH
at Tsmmsny Hall is fast ripeniag into q
harvest of butchery. The names OF Sey-
mour and Blair have become rallying cries
for organized bands of lawless men. The
support Of Democratic principles has been
construed to mean war upon the defense
less. Our dispatches say that Radicals
are made the special object of attack.
Texas is seething cauldron of iniquities.
A portion of Louisiana has been given
over to the murderous reign of the Ku-
Klux. Governor Warmoth has been forced
to ask the assistance of troops from the
President. His action may determine the
well to liberty and loyalty farewell to the
lessons Of the war.
From the Philadelphia Bulletin
LOUISIANA. -Johnsonized Democracy is
rapidly showing itself in its true colors in
the South. The opposition to the work of
reconstl ucLion, and the determination to
reject the practical results of the war have
been stimulated to increasing virulence,
first, under the persistent policy of the
President, and more lately by the new
U6bWCbl lllO INOIbIctn DCIlOClhGJ
and the rebels of the South. 1t has been
the fashion with the Democratic press of
the North to deny the reports of the many
outrages committed upon Union men, white
and black, in Texas and other parts of the
South But the real fact that reign of
terror now prevails in the State of Lou
| isiana has been brought officially to the
notice of the President, and it is foolish to
pretend to ignore the state of affairs
actually existing in that section of the
South.
For the people OF the North, there is food
for much wholesome reflection in this ap~
plication from Governor Warmoth. This is
the order of things where the Democracy is
permitted TO carry ont its real designs and
tendencies. 1t is programme in harmony
with the teachings of the Democratic ora
tors of the South, and of the Democratic
nominee for the Vice-Presidency. 1t is the
rebel "yell' which is sent back in response
TO General Grants earnest Let us have
peace !"
Give the Democracy Of Philadelphia IN
disputed sway, and this community may
prepare itself for scenes scarcely less muir
derOus than these. Arson and riot are bold
ly if not openly threatened, in the event of
Democratic successes at the coming elections
and the threats are not altogether idle ones.
Everywhere, North and South, the peace
and security Of the people demand that
these turbulent elements shall be held in
check. Republication, with Grant and
Coliax, means peace. Democracy, with
Seymour and Blair. means disorder, revol-
ution and war. The whole country calls
upon President johnson for prompt pro-
lection of life and property in Louisiana
and every consideration of peace and pros
perity calls upon the whole country to
combine in the determination that party
that comprises the entire rebel element OF
the South, and teaches the revolutioniziDg
end repudiating doctrines of Tammany
Hall and Frank Blair, shall wait for power
until it purges itself of all such principles
and practices as now prove its untitness TO
WELD it safely and properly.
From the Albany Evening Journal
REBELS REoRGANIzING-Th rebels fLou-
isiani are recognizing the regiments which
were disbanded after the surrender of Kirby
Smith, and preparing for a new campaign.
The cavalry troops are known as Seymour
Knights" and the infantry as blair
Guards They have the same officers as
during the war, and the same general plan
of consolidation. The arms which they
were permitted by the generosity of the
| victors to bear with them to their homes.
and which have since been only incident
ally employed in shooting niggers,o and
picking off stray Union men, are being fur
bished up, and will be displayed in the pa.
rades of the troops. There is something
peculiarly significant and ominous in the
movement. 1t shows how literally
the Democratic Rebels at the South
have interpreted the threats Of
revolution made by the Blair
and Seymour party, and how
promptly they will endeavor, if sue.
cesstul in the canvass, to carry out the plan
of their candidate for the Presidency, and
overthrow the "carpet-bag governments. y
The peace of the South is now as seriously
menaced as when the secession convention
assembled at Montgomery. These military
organizations in Louisiana are exceptional
only in their boldness and freedom from
disguise. Governor Brownlow states, upon
his official responsibility, that there are
armed secret societies in Tennessee, the
purpose of which is to overturn the civil
structures by Pioielce. At a meeting in
Georgia, B. II. Hill proclaimed that the
suffering Democracy were preparing to
make their enemies feel their power by ex-
| tirpating the loyal governments from the
face of the earth. Henry A. Wise asserts
that secession is not dead; it is more alive
now than ever" And Pollard writes a
book, the sole object of which is to demon
strate that by the help of the Democratic
party, the "Lost Cause" of treason will be
regained. Such are the unmistakable signs
Of the times; and they all point in one
direction. The New York convention was
like gathering Of the rebel clans
Confederate soldiers took possession
of the meeting and controlled its de-
| alterations and action. A traitor General
shaped the platform; traitor leaders nomin-
ated the candidate for Vice President, and
| he was nominated upon the promise of his
published letter that he would play the
role of the traitor if elected. A success Of
the Democratic ticket would be followed
by an outbreak OF civil disorder and revo.
| lutionary violence at the South, tending in.
eVitably to condition of war. Four years
ago the Democracy declared at Chicago
that the war for the Union was failure. =
They have not yet abandoned the hope Of
making it such. When the Democratic pa
pers talk about "the burdens of taxation,
loyal men will remember that it was theiI
1 party which iRaagarated the revolution
out of which grsw our vast public debt
that this party has by It's opposition to re
construction vastly increased the annual
budget of expenditures, and that the efieci
of its policy upon the Southern mind has
been such as to endanger another outbreak
of violence, the cost whereof in blood, IN
treasure, and in the paralysis Of industry
can not be foreseen OF estimated.
