These arc but a few Of the. moro re
cent Indications o. impending and
threatened disorder and bloodshed which
have come to..our knowledge. We see.
IN every paper which VIC read, accounts
OF disturbances between the races which
9honld make every prudent man pause
and ponder well the situation All of
these outbreaks have been fomcnted and
encouraged; lE.not actually advised, by
the Radical leaders IN the State. They
are considered essential to the life of
their party and must be procured in
some way.
We hrg our friends to bear in mind
that While il is irue that tie success of
Radicalism demands these outbreaks, 1t
is equally tue that our individual inter.
ests-thc interests of the community
and Of the State. no less lhanlhc success
OF onr party, requires that we should. do
all III our power to disconntenancr vio
lence, rcpress conflicts and oppose blood
shed. Ours Is most cmphalically a
peace party" We not only want
peace for the sake ofpcace but all our
nterests-poli.ical. material. and indus
trial-demands that we enforce peace.
We implorc onr friends to be patient,
forbearing and kind to the poor gnorant
and dcluded negroes. Be not lasty 10
answer insult or ovcr-zralous in defend.
ing rights. Talk kindly to the negroes
advise and consult with them for the
common gool and teach them that acts
ofdisorder and violence must inevitably
tend to their own injury.
Let ns all resolve to disappont The
Radicals in their hopes of provoking
fcnds and bloodshcd between the races
Peace eecures q Democratic victory,
