LANGUAGE THAT SHOULD NOT Isl
TOLERATED.

TOLERATED.
The grave attention Of the Conserva-
tive citizens OF New Orleans is invited
this morning to the following sentences
from lengthy TRADE in the same false
and Offensive spirit throughout, ex-
tracted from the New Orleans Rep4b-
ican OF yesterday:

This ia an atrocious and most SANDER
o,,s and insulting attack, both on the
living and dead In this State and section
generally, and on your fathers, brothers
and kinsmen, many OF whom are In their
ever sacred graves. 1t is made by one
OF the organs OF the Adventures who
have afflicted the South since the war
with their vulturous presence, itself Nv
ing only by a species OF legalized black
mail on this community, andin this way
finding the felonious means to employ
smart scribbling newspaper hacks. me
Republican has but one object to laud
that which is or should be most hate
full TO our people, and to defend what
ever is most unprincipled. 1t seems
to be invested with bound
less malignity and seems to
feel. while, undoubtedly, it is one OF
the most marked badges Of your present
political degradation and slavery. You
may be certain that II it did not imagine
that it enjoyed immunity in the protec-
ton Of tyranny on whose armed and
illegal strength 1t very confidently re-
lies. It would no sooner think Of trying
to insult you, than some confessed
coward would bearded warrior.
There are some conditions, however,
when It's expectations OF our patience
and submission to its indecencies may
not be verified, and perhaps 1t is well
that the Republican should bear this in
mind. So long as this Radical paper
confines its customary efforts to its old
role OF general Radical misrepresenta-
ton, carpet-bag reconstruction, KEEL
logg's usurpation, the defense of
Returning Boards. Printing laws
and the like, the glorification OF
men who have outraged common
honesty and all the principles both
Of good morals and sound law, the
DEMOCRAT is willing that it shall continue
to run it's scavenger-like career, and, as
John Randolph once said in a some
what similar case, sinking and shin
ing, and shining and sinking, like a
rotten mackerel by moonlight" But
it cannot attempt to invade the hon.
orable record Of a brave but unfor-
tunate people with its malicious in
science, and to- lay its Shiny and
poisonous hands, not only on the
living, but the inviolate dead, daring
to allude to those who have expired,
as they implicitly thought, i'm no.
BILE work of patriotic duty, as tens OF
thousands did, as pirates, robbers aud
assassins three foulest words in
the without meeting with
the penalties which such needless
and cowardly provocations Of this peo-
pie, and its own gross challenge Of all
propriety, truth and justice, necessari-
ly must visit upon it.
