Northern immigrants on the Red

soldiers in the Union army. The
town is iiaurishing. and Northerr,
thrift and enterprise have begun a
new aud prosperous career for Lou

publican, has excited the intense ha-

good order and peace the kuklux
can scarcely ettdure. \ band of two
or three hundred rulli ilns invaded the
town. took prisoners the tax collect
or, deputy postmaster, United States
commissioner, and several other Off
cials, and a number Of colored citi-
zens, and lodged them in prison on
some pfeposterous accusation. An
other band Of outlaws, supposed to
be Texans took them from the Jail
and shot them in the woods So

the murder of State and United

lowed by something more than an

The white mans party has thrown
off all disguise. Its favorite victims
are Northern emigrants, native white
and colored Republicans. and every
man who dares to proclaim his devo-
Ion To The Union. But will the free
States any longer permit their citi-
zens who NAV settle in Georgia or
Alabama TO die in the cause Of the
Union unavengeds Will New York
will the great Northwest, suffer the
reign Of lawlessness aud crime to
spread over the whole South. Can
not Southern politicians see that they
are awakening spirit of retaliation
that NAV bring upon them speedy
and terrible punishment:
The Democratic leaders of the
Northern States are responsible for
their Southern allies. 1t is in the
cause of s.so-calied" Democracy
! that all these crimes are committed
| Unhappilv the recent elections in sew
eral of the Nothern States have plac-
ed i'm office men who were. known as
ro-slaserv Democrats during the
war, and the white mans party at the
South evidently believe that Ohio
and Connections are prepared to conn-
tenance any crime that will secure a
Democratic ma oritv III Louisiana OF
South Carolina. How greatly they
are deceived they will no doubt dis
cover at last. There are not many
native-b born citizens in anv free State
who do not burn to punish the mur-
derers of Billings. the Georgia ''Ti-
gers" who invaded South Carolina. or
the miscreants OF Louisiana and Ten
nessee. But it is to the corrupt lea
ders of the Democratic party that the
country owes this constant insubor-
dination at the South, which has suf.
fered it for ten years to find no re-
pose. At the approach of every elcc-
tion the white mans party has begun
its outrages, and Tammany Hall and
all the Democratic press have rcioic-
ed over the murder Of carpet baggers,
as they call all Northern settlers in
the South, and the immense "Dem-
ocratic" ma ajorities rolled up in Geor-
gia or Kentucky by the terrors Of the
ku- Klux. Tammany Hall, which has
long been an Irish Catholic club, aud
the tool Of the foreign priesthood, has
small sympathy with the brave school
masters who have been whipped and
tortured in Texas AS carpet baggers,
or the conscientious Republicans who
have suffered in all parts of the South
for defending the common rights of
man. Its leaders have always been
the natural allies Of the ku- klux. In
1865 Tweed, Sweeny, and Hall. werr
in friendly league with the worst of
the chiefs Of the white mans p4rtv.
and, amidst bloodshetl and disorder,
hoped to win the control Of the South.
In 1872 their natural successors.
Wood, Morrissey, Fellows, X ely, and
the whole Roman Catholic faction, led
by the Cathoiic Ielegrnph, Of Cincin-
natl, were once more found allied
with the murderers of Grant Parish
and the ku- klux of New Orleans. :
Every one remembers the cry Of ex-
ultation from the whole Irish and
Democratic faction when Georgia,
bleeding and hopeless. was made to
give sixty thousand majority for the
unhappy Greeley, aud sank down in
to slavery again under the lash of
Toombs In 1874 the allies are once
more exultant Tammany Hall and
the Irish faction prepare to seize up
on New York;; the whole Roman
Catholic population will be driven by
the priests and bishops to vote for the
Democratic candidates; the Cincin-
natl 7eiegrulh and the papal prclates
have already won victory over the
common schools in Ohio BY threats
and denunciations 10 their abjec,
people; and all over the South their
allies of the white mans party have
begun anew their career Of terrorism
and bloodshed. A conspiracy has
again been inaugurated by priests
and rebels against knowledge, liberty
and union. But we believe it viii
fail, as all such conspiracies have al
ways done. The people are alread,
preparing to encounter and overthrow
their old enemies. With enormous
majorities they will rise, from the At
lantic to the Pacific, to battle the
