The ssasnsrn sDe6eerstie AAaress.
Ths sddrves to the Southern
Democznkic naembers of eonGresa
published Yesterday, is another
ahrowd atheznpt to mislead pablo
sentiment In The North So far as
it is in reality addressed to the
South, IL says substantially to the
people Of that section: Don't
strike to soonl Wait until you
can do so safely. Keep perfectly
quiet for little longer, and
deceived and hoodwinked North
viii give you unlimited power.
Then go in, and do your worst

thence" says the address In the
name of all that is just, what wrong
has been done these peopief Is it
the amnesty that has been granted
by the North to traitors against
the country. Is it in allowing
them every right and privilege
which they enjoy before their
crimes Is it in placing them in q
position wheze they could elect
nearly one hundred of the most
prominent leaders IN the late
rebellion to the National Congress!
Are these the wrongs which
vindictive party has heaped upon
theme We had supposed that the
wrongs" were on the other side
We had supposed the cause for
complain. existed in those who
have been driven by these Southern
marplots from their homes; who
have had their plantations plum
dered, and their friends murdered
with ferocity unheared of In a
civilized land. We thought the
wror gs had been suffered by the
thousands Of colored men and
Northern Republicans who have
been prosecuted with a fendishness
worthy of savages, and who have
hunted with the merciless cruelty
of Wild beasts.
The wrongs Of the South Let
an impartial world Judge what
these wrongs are. Let the official
record of the 4 900 MANNED victims
in Louisiana testify to the outrages
committed and TO the men who
have suffered them! Search the
record through. You shall find
among the victims Republicans Of
every hue, bat not q member of the
White League! Examine the list.
You Will find black and white by
the thousands who have been spit
upon, mobbed, deprived of their
votes, but not among the number
single rebel! The latter do not
complain of intimidation They do
not complain of lawlessness and
assassination. They cannot point
to a single instance where one of
their number has been driven from
the polls, or shot down like dog
because he dared to offer his vote.
What, then, are the wrongs which
they are. advised to endure 80 he's
roicanys But the address contin
ues: HLet us continue to deal with
them the blacks] honestly and
fairly, and let as continue to invite
to our midst those of any political
party who either seek to know the
truth or to find homes upon our
soil" Was there ever more bitter
irony than thisz Continue to deal
justly with them" Pray, when did
these people eomence dealing justly
with a race which they have beaten,
sold, robbed since the beginning of
the Republica "Let us continue to
invite to our midst those of any
political party who seek 10 find
homes upon our soilr' Aye these
invitations have been given, and
homes, long and permanent, have
been found upon their soil! The
story has been too often told in
these columns, and need not be
repeated now. Itshould pc burned
by this time into the very heart
and BRAIN of the North.
It is proper That such addresses
as this should be signed by ex rebel
officers, and especially that it
should be signed by Mr.. John
Young Brown, of Kentucky. whose
threat against all who dared to
assist the Union armies we publish
ed few days ago. We may have
to wait, but the time is coming
when the hotlowness, treachery,
and wickedness of such manifestoes
will be so plain that he who runs
may read. It may not come until
every Northern man shall have
been driven from the South, and
every colored man reduced to a
state worse than slavery, but it
win come at last and bring its
own retribution Inter Ocean.
