ANOTHER CASE OF OSTRACISM.

Under this head the st. Louis Republican,
Of the 9TH inst, has the following in regard
:. to very suggestive occurrence at Salisbury,
Mo, on the Fourth of July 1t would seem
that the Black League has its ramifcatioss
even i'll Missouri
We regret to observe the rapid growth of
a disposition on the part of the now domi-
nant race III the South to erect barriers of
ostraclsm against the race held in sunjection.
We suppose it is perfectly natural, how
ever for race, to endow whose
members with peculiar transcendent
rights has been the chief end of
| Government for ten years or more, to feel
the exaltation of their status and demonstrate
their feelings. Still may be permitted to
| remark that the efforts of this proud and ex-
uit'int race to segregate themselves from the
mass and build up an exclusive aristocracy,
| are in direct contravention of the XVIII
| amendment, which, we have been assured by
| many eminent Christian statesmen, and one
IN particular, is g the great seal of God affixed
TO our Constitution. Some time ago we
noted. with passing comment, the unlawful
and, We might say, censtructively violent ex-
clusien OF an eminent Senator of the United
States, the Hon. Lot. N. Morrill,, of Maine
from a church in Washington, solely on ac-
count OF his color, which, as we insisted at
the time. was his misfortune and not his
fault.
And now we are called upon to chronicle
another outrage, which, occurring as it does,
III the borders of our own State, should re-
ceIve the immediate attention of the great
organs Of Republican opinion. As for our
selves. we are not interested in the matter, not
object: SO We print the following in our
aG q
the Outrage to the attention of such of our
contemporaries as are fond Of denouncing
outrages IN the way of ostracism on the ac-
count OF race or color The following is q

members OF the class possessing transcendent
rights i'll the way of peculiar Federal protec-
ton, at Salisbury, Mo-:

We repeat that as We are not exclusively de-
voted to any single great HUMANITARIAN object
or theory, we do not deem ourselves ancrieyed
III this matter We should never desire to 60
on such plcnic-at least not during the
present spell of weather-but we cannot help
thinking that the principle of the thing is
something that should receive the immediate
attention of those great humanitarian thinkers
who have the Civil Rights bill in charge.
