The Same Old Rebel Yell.

The following from the Daily Ne,os,
published at Atlanta, Georgia, is not
only the voice of rebellion South but
also of the DEMOCRATIC party South
against the fate that confronts US
what have the Southern people? Is
it that prudence which such papers
as the Louisville Courier Journal ad-
vocates, but which men less gifted
than the editor of that paper call
dastardly submission 7 Mol Our
only hope is in stern, resolute re-
sistance-a resistance to the death,
if necessary, with arms in our hands,
Let there be White Leagues formed
in every town, village, and hamlet OF
the South, and let as organize for the
great struggle which seems to be In
evitable. If the October elections
which are to be. held at the North
are favorable to the Radical the time
will have arrived for as TO prepare
for the worst. The radicalism of the
Republican party must be met by
the radicalism of white men. We
have no war to make against the
United States Government, but
against the Republican party our
hate must be unquenchabIe, our war
interminable and merciless. Fast
fieeting away is the day for wordy
protests and idle appeals to the mag
nanimity of the Republican party.
Every Southern State should swarm
with White Leagues. If the white
Democrats Of the North are men they
will not stand idly by and see US
borne down by Northern Radicals
and half barbarous negroes. But no
matter what they will do, il is tine
| for US 10 organize. We have been
temporzing long enough. Let North
ern Radicals understand that militia
ry supervision of Southern elections
and tho civil rights bill mean war,
that war meas bIoodshed, and that
we are terribly in earnest, and even
they, fanatical as they are, may re-
trace their steps before it is too late"
If there are Democrats in the
South, and North as well, who do
not support these lawless threats the
time has arrived when their opposi-
ton should be announced. But thus
far we hear of no action taken by
any body of Northern Democrat dep
recating the course of White Leagues
in ling negroes and Republicans.
When leading organ openly pro-
claims the determination of it's sup
porters to make desperate and relent-
less and bloody war upon the MAORI
ty of the American people for nc
other reason than that they favor the
emf rcement of law and the preser-
vation Of life, liberty and property ;
and when the suggestions of such
organs are daily eliminating in as
sassination and revolution, it is time
that good citizens take warning, nc
matter to what political party they
may belong These same men in
not dissimilar strains declared wal
upon the Republican party in 1861
and it is unnecessary to remind them
of the consequences. A war of ex'
termination or subsection, such at
they propose, will not be submitted
to by The American people without
resistance. They may as well 1err

territory. nor will they permit unlaw

citizenship any where that the flag
floats or that the national authority
can penetrate.
