American to blush with shame aud in.
dignation. We congratulate the citi-
zens of Louisiana and the people OF
the country. that this extraordinary
and most revolving scene did not p-o-
woke violence and bloodshed. Forci-
BILE resistance would have been justifi-
able in this case. if it be ever justifia-
bic in any case; for greater outrage
on every principle OF tree government
was never perpetrated. Were it not
for the fact that the people of Louisi-
ana have q sure resource for redress of
their grievances. in the sense of justice
OF the whole country and in the public
resentment which will be kindled to
the highest pitch by these atrocities
and unezsmpled proceedings. The
Tribune says nothing in the history OF
even the great conspiracy, by which
the border ruffiane undertook to seize
the Territory and State Of Kansas. can
furnish any parallel for this browning
lniquity OF she Federal Adminietra-
ton. Oitize.c of Louisiana have seen
themselves cheated and defrauied, and
when the fraud came near to failure,
they have seen the whole power of the
General Government used to consuu-
mate 1t, and make villainy successful.

facts as they are. they invoke the de-
l1berate judgment Of the American
people. The World says: "We hope
there is no American man who can
read the news from New Orleans With
out thrill of shame and rage" The
Times expresses NO opinion upon the
merits OF the case. The Euening Post.

Federal army, yesterday, in the or

eolutely unjuatihable.
