Thanks to the peaceful instincts of our
people, to the patience, prudence and
wisdom which como Of their sal cxpe-
rience, they have not only given no occn-
sion for the exercise of the extraordinary
powers vested in the military authority
for their coercion and menace, but they
have, by the very best testimony, dis
proved and falsified the stories fabricated
by unprincipled demagogues, upon
which such unconstitutional measures
wore based. It is now fully shown that,
despite such wrongs and provocations,
ms no other people ever endured with pa
tience, the Southern communities have
demeaned themselves with remarkable
orderliness, pencofulness and respect for
law and authority. The silence Of the
honest portion Of the Radical party is
the strongest concession Of tho truth Of
this assertion. The fact that the clnmor,
agitation and abuse of tho South on this
score. are now reduced aud confined to
the band of plunderers who have hereto
lore concealed and protected their
shameless robberies of our people, by
diyerting public scrutiny and vengeance
toward their victims, on pretexts of their
disloyalty and violent designs and acts
against the Government, is strong. con
firmatory proof OF this proposition
Let the Northern mind be once qnieted
and led to doubt whether there is any
truth in these pictures i'll regard to
Southern outragas, and doubtless it will
be inclined to receive aud comprehend
the truth in regard to the indignities, op-
pressions and deprcdations to which
these States and people have been sub
lected by the marauding horde which
has plundered them in the name OK, the
Union. and with the assumed sanction
and authority Of tho Rudicnl party Of the
nation and of the Federal Government.
It cannot be questioned that these ma

their schemes of plunder aud spoliation,
but for these apparent sanctions.
Northern Radicalism has been the no
tent ally and backer Of this rapacious
crew, and is in the main responsible for
all their villainy. The chief perpetra-
tors thereof are Recognized as faithful
agents and representatives of the party
They present good party records, aud
what right have wo to inquire into their
personal, official and social qualities,
characteristics aud acts? AS long MS
they are good Radicals how does it con

rob and orpress the Southern people?
This has been the temper aud practice of
the Radical party heretofore. It ra-
mains to be proved whether the people
OF tho United States have become so
madaened or degraded by partisan pns-
sions, that now, when it has been shown
how great deception has been put upon
them by this Ku Klu1 clamor and fnbri-
cation, whether they will consent any
longer to encourage, defend and sanction
the Wholesale plunder and confscation
OF the Southern communities.
