Of Stephens letters. He probably never

He wished to see the best men o: New Or.

Georgia an opportunity 70 avenge the;:

tie scheme is thus bewa..ei il language
suitable to the OCCASION:
THE HUMILIATION OF LOUISIANA.
The Louisiana uprising has terminated in
miserable iasco. It ought never to have
carry it out to its logical conclusion. We
are not advocates OF any reckless revolu.
tonary outburst. but when the people of
Louisiana took up arms to secure their
liberties We had right to suppose that
they were prepared for any emergency. and
we know that the entire South. and prob.
ablv half the North. would have come to
their assistance IN contest. not for the
dissolution of the Union, but for the
RESTORATION OF q true Union, based upon the
eternal truths Of republican principles.
The movement. however, has been q mere
fash in the pan. It has only demonstrated
that the usurp!ne government of Kellogg
can not stand before the people one hour.
unless backed by federa! bayone:s. Such a
demonstration was totally unnecessary.
Everybody knew that Kellogg could not
resist an uprising. Everybody knows tina:
if the white men of South Carolina and OF
Alabama were to rise this morning, within
twenty four hours their alien governments
would be swept out OF existence. With
what object. then. did tue people Of Iouiei.
ana take UP arms. only to abjectly lay them
down again at the first demand of Grant
Was i: to give them military government.
Grant has answered tina: By ordering Emory
to reinstate Kellogg.
What benefit have they or will they de.
rive from their tame surrender. None.
certainly. at present: and we can not see
that the future promises any relief. By
their submission they have confessed them.
selves traitors to the State government.
Nothing short OF dread OF assassination
will prevent Kellogg from. wreaking ter.
rib!e vengeance on the late TevO!utiOnisfs.
He is too cowardly for magnanimity. We
look every day to hear that Penn, and Og-
den. and Mari. and al! the other leaders.
have been arrested, and the sanguinary
reality OF the gallows fog them is not an
improbabilirv. Let this fate befaii them.
and they can not command our respect, for
the opportunity was g iver them of dying
like brave men. and they deliberately threw
it away. If even their lives are spared. i.
even their persona! liberty is unmolested.
they have damned themselves and seriously
injured their cause. They stand before the
country to-day self confessed riotors. not
resolute revolutionist.. Despot;sm. alarmed
by the demonstration OF force just made.
will take precautions against another rising.
and thus, by their folly, their precipitancy
or their pusilanimity. they will have tur.
nisied the pretext On which to rivet still:
stronger the chains Of soc!a. and political
slavery.
1t is no: in orr heart - add to their mis-.
cry By reproaching the people OF Louisiana.
They are of US. and we are Of them. Their
cause ia ours. their sutterings are ours: our
tears flow with theirs. But they have
thrown away grea: opportunity. When
they will find their position more difficult.
They will have to struggle harder. and they
viii have to shed more blood. That is all.
For the conflict is inevitable. sit is ire.
pressibie." Policy may tell US not to open.
ly ayow this. bu: to be polite now Is to be
untrue to the country. Revolutions can not
be checked By words. The ballot box has
ceased to be potential. because it has been
and still is in the hands OF men who pros.
titute i. to the bases: OF purposes.
We repeat that we have no heart to as.
sal Louisiana. Cod knows how much we
sympathize with her. God knows that in
condemniny the submission Of her leaders
we do so from the pures: of motives. and
from sincere conviction that resistance
conld not have made their position worse,
and might have made it better.
Nay. more. We did no: urge Louisiana to
resistance to stand idly. by and see her
overwhelmed. Thousands of Georgians
would nave gone to her assistance, and
so tina: nobody sha!! misunderstood us.
SO that should an emergency arise in
the future. men may use this either for
or against US, we say heIe tina: none would
have gone to the assistance of Louisiana
quicker than the writer of this article.
We do not urge resistance with the inten.
tio1 Of keeping Ou: o: trouble ourseif.
When the light begins we propose taking
hand in it. just as we did before, az hun.
dreds living can testify.
