The JOURNAL has more than once, re-
i Gently, urged the necessity Of perfect peace
and good order in the State if we wish to
carry the election. Nothing would please
the Radicals TIT re just row thar a genuine

s-s vAKNINc TO SOUTHERN MEN
Now that the Presidential campaign has
begun liz earnest,' We shall hear from the
Southern States frequent IumoEs CT Gisor-
dcIs and Ku-kIdN OutrageS. These III
mors viii not be SO frequent as they would
have been, had Congress adopted the Pr2si-
dents pet scheme OF buying up the tele
graph lines, and putting them under the
IllaIld9cHlcIl 81 IllG L OSt-OlICc Oc1dIt-
ment but even il. private hands the tele-
= graph is not infallible operators aud re-
porters are subject TO like passions with
other men; and tie desire for a startling
item, which is constant in the reporters
bosom, will help the manufacturers cf splI-
, rioUs news.
For months past the common testimony
, of all has declared the South as peaceful as
1 Massachusetts. Tie hu-hlItx organiza-
tS To, al, i
1 abandoned. The South, We know, yearns
: for peace, and Southern mon are doing all
in their power to secure it. On all ac-
. counts We welcome the purpose and the
> practice. But 90 they realize how impor-
. tant ii is that they should be Oh their
u guard, and conduct themselves during the
5 canvass with uncommon prudence There
! VIII not be wanting base persons, ready
and eager TO infialne the old wounds, tC
bring o. collisions between whites AND
blacks, or between Republicans and Demo
Y Gratis, and they may be certain that from
- | now till next ! november every affair
OF fisticulis III ANY Southern State viii bt
macnitied by the Grant papers into q new
rebellion, and every murder or Woundin2
10 made to appear to the Northern public a
- another ku-kluX outrage. Ii negro Ia
:" bOrcr IS discharged, some one will be folIn'
Il to represent this as a prescription for prin
L ciples sake and we do not doubt that be
fore three weeks are over, the Grant pres
will TEEN daily with reports of InurderOu
kU-hltiX asSaSsinationS, af:d a desperat
Int attempt viii be made TO alarm the y ortll
'if ern voters, by pictures OfdisorGer and law
IN lessneSs i'll the South. The truth is,
| good, square, atrOcOHS piece OF lawieSS
al ness and violence in the South would jus
N now be L god-send 10 the Grant party.
;D-i they could prove, within the next tW
n months, Il at half u dozen negroes had bee
burned at tIe stake in Alabama /; and ths
! q uumbcr Of White women and cAildre
had attended the incIclnatiOn, and wave
y Confederate flags over the flames, Grant
g., iugieIncn would at once '.Thanl God, an
- take courage They are just now Il Iittl
en- lIuc and GishcaTtened; and stand badl
lie in need Of something Of this Kind, for the
is have no arguments to offer.
We trust Southern Democrats will civ
:" no occasion dor eeil-fepeFts. 1t is the
ne duty, IS citiZeus Of q free country, and &
be the moro influential citizens Of their state
not merely TO keep the peace themseive
hut to, see that it is kept They have
1 hight freely to vote themselves, and it
tueir duty to-5eo that their opponents irecl
Exercise tie same right. They haze isl

i at issue in the campaign and VIC cann(
= but isolieSe that They can present 10 the
Il own people so forciUle Ii case rs to carr
with them Lhc greater part OF the lndC
n, p3ntIeld yt;.ers Of their States. But the
opponents have The same right ofpoact

Of farc with this right, Southern Democrat

Iiicrc is but one thing, is we believe
