VIOLENCE OF THE RADICAL PREss.-The radi-
cal press on both sides are doing their utmost
to plunge this city into another desperate and
bloody turmoil The Tribune, Times and Post
the organs of the extreme republicans, are con-
stantly filling their columns with incendiary
articles tending to prejudice one class of the
community against another, and thus increase
the animosity raised by the recent scenes in the
upper part of the city. 1t would seem that
they are determined to widen the breach and
make the contest more severe, bloody and re-
lentless, should the draft be enforced. The
World and Ne,cs, the organs Of the opposite
extreme, take UP the controversy on the other
side, and with like spirit labor to excite the
people and bring about . conflict These two
extremes seem to have no thought or regard as
to the result Of their dangerous appeals, or
even stop to consider the appalling scenes that
their course may plunge the city into. or the
loss Of life and property that may result from
their incendiary teachings.


The course Of all these papers is just what
the public might have expected They are all
organs Of some political clique or faction and
view matters through glasses accordingly, and
only show the drift Of the political factions that
they represent, and the danger Of such infamma-
tory articles being thrown broadcast among our
citizens at this time In their bloodthirsty course
the radicals and extreme republicans have
thus their co-operators in the extreme on the
opposite side. Both tend to the same result
precisely the same that the two extreme iac-
tions have done heretofore to bring all the
troubles and disasters upon the country. 1t is
somewhat singular, but not at all surprising,
that through all the disturbances in this city,
and, in fact long before they commenced, Mo-
zart Hall and the outside clubs have taken the
same incendiary course and labored. just as
zealously to incite the public and prepare the
minds of the people Of this city for revolution
and bloodshed as have the radical and incendi-
ary republicans, and that Old Tammany is the
only organization that has pursued safe and
wise course. The latter organization has stood
firm for the prosecution OF the war to crush out
the rebellion, considering the maintenance of
the Union the first and the most essential work
to be accomplished. They have, nevertheless,
criticised the inconsderate acts Of the admin
istration, but instead Of endeavoring to stir up
q revolution in our midst, have patiently
waited for the time to speak through the ballot
box, the great rod to correct unwise acts Of the
rulers in a constitutional government like ours.
All throughout last winter, spring and summer
Mozart Hall and Company zealously labored to
arouse the people against the administration,
and were aided and abetted in their dangerous
work by the organs Of the radicals and the sa-
tanic committee at Washington with Chandler
and Wade at its head. The fruit of the teach
ings OF these two extremes has been brought
home to our doors, . sad reality.


During the late disturbance In this city this
was made more manifest than ever. Whilst the
radicals clamored for blood, blood the leaders
of Mozart Hall counselled defiance, and urged
on war on the part Of the State against the ma
tional government. Tammany leaders, on the
other hand, rushed to the assistance Of the au-
thorities, and did ell that was in their power
to quiet the troubled waters and stay the hand
that was raised In the excitement Of neighbor
against neighbor. In this action Of Tammany
the democracy Of this city can see where rests
their security. They have o precedence to
show that In the councils Of Tammany Hall is
their safety. Let them take warning from these
facts, and give Mozart Hall the 20 by, and they
may avoid dangerous and unwise counsels In
the future.
