IT is USELESS to disguise the fact that Radical
negro professions are not only guilty of sackng
stores and beating innocent people, but that the
negroes themselves are thoroughly armed, drilled
and organ zed, as well in the country parishes as
ia the immediate eDvirons Of New Orleans. There
is q mathematical problem which is to be solved
next Saturday night, viz. If procession of sixty
city negroes sack store on Gasqnet street, and
beat family of women and children on Bienvie,
Ubst will not be done by ten or fifteen thousand
country negroes, ignorant, brutal and infsmed,
houseless and irresponsible!
