As WE EXPECTED.

As WE Expected.
The Gdzotte of yesterday, in leader
entitled The next move,'' howls over
the possibility of another session of
Congress being held in September for
the purpose of providing for the South
ern States that projection without which
they will be controlled by n lawless mob
of rebels in the choice of Presidential
electors. The telegram upon which the
Gazette bases its remarks states that "the
Democrats will succeed, 6y force. in
choosing electors" unless protection is
given. But the white man" of the up
town journal mildly dilutes the words
and gives us in his leader, .'the Demo-
Gratis will certainly succeed in carrying
the Southern States unless some new
measures are passed" The account of
the triple murder by the Ku Klux
klan, which was received over the wires
at nearly the same time as the other re-
port, il calls "humbug" and ''roar>
back" The statement that the negroes
had disturbed Democratic meeting ut
Richmond a few days ago it gave full
credit to, however, and extensively ex-
patiated upon all the minutie of split
rails, &c. And so it always is with the
Gazette and the Democratic press in gen
eral. Any event that can be twisted
into an argument in favor of treason and
Democracy, is put through an intensity
ing process and given to the country in
the most bombastic manner. But the
many events which transpire and which
are in themselves the most forcible ar
gument against the principles of the
Democratic party, as practically exem-
pllfied in works OF murder and treason,
are classed by the entire unreconstruct-
e5 press among abolition lies" Surely
the measures they support must ne viii
lainous when il becomes necessary for
them to resort To such subterfuges. Still
they always do it and we shall always
expect them to. If to-day the rebels of
the South should again organize an ar
my and commence their march upon the
capitol of the nation, and if for the pur-
pose of resisting the invasion the SOL
diers of the Union should be called up
on. we should fully expect
the Gazette to dispose of the
first event by calling it a humbug. and
then, with a way before it sufficiently
open tor the majority of it's readers,
commence furious TRADE against the
calling out of troops by the Government,
stigmatizing it as a piece of Radical
tyranny designed for the oppression of
the down. trodden South and the support
of a carpet>bag government. Without
any foundation save it's own imagina-
ton, we should expect it 10 give, as it
did yesterday morning, its own account
of the condition of the South, and the
reason for this "new move" of oppres-
sion. And what better can we expect
of the Democratic press? Forced as it
is 90 support that conglomeration OF
triekery, treason. ignorance and villainy,
which il calls its party it Is impossi-
BILE for il to- make of itself anything else
than a record of prevarication and lies
We venture to say that, there is not in
the United States n Democratic paper
which is reached by the telegraph which
has not, within the past two days,
howled over the suggestion of the South
ern Governors that further protection is
needed at the South. Anticipating this
we showed in our yesterdays issue why
this protection was needed-showed that
not a day passed that some Union man
was not murdered by the fire eating
fiends of the South for his opinions
sake IL this is the case so long before
the election. what will be the real state
of affairs when the voting day arrives
Union assemblages have already been
repeatedly dispersed by those who vio-
late both the laws of God and man un-
der the cloak Of their X. K X organi-
zs-ions. what, therefore, can we expect
