READY FOR TIE WORK ~
There is no concealment here. All
is plain; and what is equally plain, is,
that the paper which deliberately pre-
diets another assassination also saws
that the man is ready who is to up-
dertake the work.
That Mr.. Lincoln's murder met the
approval of the rebels it hardly re-
quired this last witness to esta blish,
and that there are thousands of good
Democrats living who would not re-
greet to see another Republican Presi-
dent taken off in the same way is
proved by the concerted attack upon
General Grant
1t is only few days since we print
ed the interesting report of Allan
Esq. Of the National Po-
lice Agency at Chicago, showing that
he was entitled to the credit of baff-
ling the attempt discovered by our
fellow citizen, S. NJ. FELTON,,
Esq, In 1862, at that time President
of the Philadelphia & Wilmington
Railroad, and still living in excellent
health. That conspiracy was set for
the month of February, seven years
ago, and the care with which it was
plotted demanded all the tact and
caution of the best minds to avert it.
1t was only averted. -Four years later,
In 1868, the same conspiracy, doubt
less starting In the same brains, was
safely arranged and fatally executed.
The last assassination made Andrew
j johnson President, and it is under
his administration that we have
another boldly advocated and predict
ed. There is no longer any secrecy
in the design. So daring has the
spirit of treason even now become,
under Andrew Johnson's rule, that
the crime that removed Abraham
Lincoln is avOWed as a part of the
Democratic progra mme.
In connection with the bloody re-
cord Of April IA, 1869 and the bafled |
plot Of February, 1861, we have only
to study every days experience of |
rebel rule in Maryland and Kentucky, |
not to speak of South Carolina and |
Texas, to understand the sincerity of |
the La Crosse democrat in urging |
another assassination.
OF course there are thousands of |
honest Democrats who will reject this
counsel with horror, aud |
many more who will deny that there
is such a newspaper as that we have
quoted from, or that any such crime is
IN serious contemplation. These citl-
zens can easily satisfy themselves.
The paper is, as we have said, stand |
ard Democratic authority, taken and /
read by great numbers of Democrats,
who not only approve all its editorials,
but are eager to see them put into
practice.
The terrible past is not so old but
hat good men and women still shud-
der over its frighttul lessons. .a
Nor is that letter sufficiently appal-
ling to deter bad men from repeti-
ton of the tragedy of April, 1865.
