rors Of the ''reisn of terror" We
have in our Republic villains only too
willing to play the part of Murat, and
who publicly proclaim their desire to

savages, rendered more brutal by
contact with intelligence, who have
in all ages well nigh rendered the

III the halls of Congress we hear
men believing war and extermina-

crime is simple difference of opin-

liberty. Morton and Logun are the
grand reservoirs from whom the les
Ser vessels obtain their supply Of
venom and abuse. Upon the simple
request Of Senator Thurman of Ohio,
for the authority he must produce to
sustain his conduct in dispensing the
legal legislature of Louisiana, these
worthless assail the Southern people
with all the bitterness of nature, and
endeavor to sustain the acts, totally
without warrant of law or facts, of
