The Louisiana debate was then renewed,
and Pease of Miss, concluded his argument
which was commenced yesterday. He said
that outrages were daily committed in the
South. The American Senate and Ameri-
can people should become awakened to the
fact chat the country was on the eve of an
other revolution, more fatal IN its results
than the late rebellion. He argued that
crime WAS more frequent in the South than
in tho North, and read from statistics to
show that such was the case. He denied
that the white men were never punished in
the South for the murder Of negroes. The
same spirit which pervadeI the press of the
10
South in 1851 existed to-day. lie knew
that there was large element IN the South
which did not subscribe to these wild doc
trnes The ola wing party did not sub
scribe to them, nut that party was poWerless.

di1hcu.ty before, were men VINO were lead
ing editorial writers TO day ana they were
firing Southern hearts TO MURDER and assas-
slnate and oyerturn the Government Of the
United States If necessary
Ia every case where the treasury OF the
Southern States had been plunderod, 1t had
been done by Democrats, or members OF
that party were IA the scheme some way or
other. lie argued that Mississippi was the
best reconstructed OF the insurrectionary
States and every dollar Of her State debt
could be paid IN two years In conclusion
ne called upon the senator from ONO, Mr..
Thurman, as the leader oil the Democratic
party, to say to the Democrats IN the south
that the ouuages there must be stopped.
