There has been no campaign since the
organization of the republican party, in which
its party press has not within few weeks
before an election or the commission OF some
grievous legislative wrong, raised false issues,
and made false chnrges against the people OF
the South and the democratic party. We
apprise our readers now that they shall read
in the Jacobin papers, from this time for>
ward until the full measure of this radical
scheme is complete, all manner Of crimes, OF
murders, arsons, robberles, rapes, and the
whole catalogue, which will be ascribed to
the unruly aud turbulent disposition Vt the
white people of the South, and this for the
express purpose Of engendering, keeping alive
and promulgating feeling of hate and bits
terness, not only between the people of the
sections. but between the negroes and their
former masters. This kind of tactics and
argument are the shield and buckler of re-
publican party. Without principles, they
fail to reach the reason and judgement; with,
out regard for law and order, they seek to
engender contention, strife, hate, aud bitter
ness, aiming by an appeal to the baser pas
SIGNS to dethrone reason, overwhelm the
judgement, and retain their party power, the
monarch of destruction and desolatiou. This
course is pursued upon an assumption Of the

Of the people of the North, who have hereto-
fore been taught by the same pernicious
teachers, to regard the people of the South
as the very essence of all that is hellish in
human nature. But if no other lesson has
been learned by Northern men and soldiers

this same lying, false, intolerant, bigoted
proscriptive spirit of the Northern press
supported by Northern fanatics and fools
which goaded on the people Of the South to
