The' Case Stated.
.
With shameless_effrotitery, and in the
face of undeniable facts, die anti-American
newspipers of this city are striving indus
triously to ward off from their party the ,
odious responsibility of having caused the,
disgraceful riots and horrid
. butcheries of
Monday.. A deep, °dark, and damning,
stain has ternishod the hitherto brighees
cutcheen- of Louisville. The heart of
every good citizen sickens at the contem
plation of the terrible excesses which have
been committed. The blame however
should mid will attach itself to those who
drew the first 'blood, who committed the
fires acts of lawless violence—to those
who gave the first mortal provocation,
whiCh brought upon the offenders a terri
ble aud excessive retaliation and retribu
tion. Of these offences the . American
party is entirely guiltless. It can fearless
ly stand up before the community, whose
peace has been thus ruthlessly destroyed,
and say with conscientious - truth, "Shake
not thy gory locks at mil , Thou came
not say I did it."
We do not for one moment attempt to
excuse or even to palliate the enormity of
the outrage committed on the afternoon
and night of Monday by those, who, in
cenied "-and infuriated'heyond - the - exerci-;
vies "of reason or the control of the legal an
thorities, resorted to Murder and, arson to
revenge the 'onproveked, cold-blooded
slaughter and maiming of their innocent
anti inoffensive countrymen. We have
always deprecated and shall' continue to
oppose mob violence, but we are not will
tug that Americans or the American party
should be blamed and denounced as the
authors of these deeds of violence, when
we know and are prepared to prove be
yond a 'shadow of doubt that in every in
stance the first act of hairlessness and unpro
voked bioodshed,was perpetrated by. for
eigners • upon the yersons of unoilending
and peaeeble native-born citizens,.
The Anti-Ameleavarty and its organs
are 'attempting by baseless and impudent
assertions. violent denunciations, and pal
pable thiarepreisentations end perversions
of 'facts to . shi ft the stigma of the outlier
ship of these disgraceful occurrences from
their own party to ours. We will not at
present attempt to pciint out and refute

misstatements contained in the notices of

pers: We will in due time present, the
sworn' statements Or respectable men and

We will then abundantly show, not only
thatoo violence was perpetrated by Amer.!

nuthbers, armed with guns and pistols and
bledgeons, and by other foreigners, shoot

sufficient provocation or excuse has been
given by: Americans in any portion of the
city for. any of the outrages which were
.
committed by the Irsh and Germans, and
Which really began end produced the riot
otisiVsses which we so much deplore,
‘-' We know that the election was proceed
ing quietly everywhere, drit in order to,
avoid' even the imputation of any unfair
nese or impropriety, which they expected
would be eargerly . caught at by their un
scrupulous opponents to account for the
glerions victory which our friends were
ccmfident. of winning, the Americana, :
their respective councils, had determined
to keep order and peace and quiet at the
polls. This they did. It is true that, be
ieving there would not be time to poll a
full vote in some of the wards, they made
use of every fair means to got in American
votes with .all possible' dispatch, but we
- deny' that unusual obstruction was offered
or attempted to be offered to any legal and
orderly-behaved voter.
• •At the time the fact was proclaimed at
the pelts that their countrymen had, with
out provication, been shot down, murder
ed in cold blond, by ferocious foreigners,
in• distant and quiet streets of the city,
the Americans in the neighborhood of the
several :voting. places at first refused to
believe, that tinch outrages had been com
mitted, •and considered it a ruse to draw
them sway from the polls and to give an
opportunity to the Sag Nicht forcentotake
possession of the polls and prevent Amer
. mans from voting. It was only when the
wounded and thedead of their fellow coon
epee* were brought before them and
,they were convinced that cowardly 'and
bloody murders had been perpetrated, that

for organs of the anu•Americau patty to
seek any' longer to conceal the fact that
those outrages were commenced by the
foreign population, that the first wrongi
wore committed by foreigners. that the
first bloodshed was the work of foreigners,
that the. first murders perpetrated were
perpetrated by foreigners,
That these foreigrers were maddened
and excited and instigated to these deeds
of violence by the insidious,incendiary
appeals of the organs of'the foreign party
! and the demagogues and leaders who have
for weeks past been seeking to arouse the
passions and prejudices of this class of
citizens against the Americans, can scarce
ly for a moment be doubted. That these
attacks upon Americans were premedita
ted and done by concert and agree tnent
among the perpetrators can be and wilrbe
established. An intelligent public will
not, when these facts are known, attribute
the riots to the American party. but, in
spite of all protestations of lamb•llke inno•
eenno and all attempts sr, misrepresent
nets, the responsibility and the blame
will smelt and justly be brought home to
' its real umbrae, the incendiary dema
gogues of the foretgn, anti• American party.
[From the Louisville Democrat.]
The attempt Inlay blame upon our for
eign population will be a failure . The
fact is known to all that they were alarm
ed at the demonstration made against
them at the previous elections. , Instead
Of being excited to violence they were ap•
prehensive of attacks upon them, and very
few could he induced to go near the Nils.
We leave the public to judge if men in
this condition would be likely to provoke
a dominant organized party, who had evi•
dentiv had the physicalloree at command,
and were believed to be determined to use
it at will.
Reply of the Journal
•sWo leave it to the public - to judge"
whether a 'Victorious party, the party that
had the numerical strength, a party that
at noon was over 1300 voles ahead, wee
likely to . gel up a riot. There was no
inducement for any such insane procedure.
The fact thnt the assaults upon Americana
did not begin until after the Sag-Nichts
found that they were heater; 'at the polls, is
almost conclusive evidentio that it
.was the
chagrin of the taper at.edelf result* . that
impelled them to deeds of violence. it

from various parts - of the county, and have
been gratified to find a geheral disposition
to harmonise and concentrate the entire
vote of all kindly to American principles
at the coming election. There , exists, a
generous disposition to sacrifice all perso
nal preferences upon the altar of principle,
and thus advance the interests of the A-
merlon g anization. This is' the right
spirit, and if carried out must insure sue..
cess. - The heart of the people—of the hon
est reassess of both the old political organ
isations—is with us, and their ballot; will
be cast in favor of candidates reflecting A.
Terkel) principles, despite the efforts and
Matedietienifoi party demagogues. The
American people, will not submit to the
dietatimi of political tricksters, seeking
to overawe and brow-beat them by a com
bination of Romanists, Foreigners. and old
' hunker Locofocos. Let our friends but
be careful in the selection of their candi
dates. Nominate good and true Amori

shall command the confidence of the com

• The Locofoiloo joninals, in their,vindio
tivo hatred of Americanism, are boldly do-
fending the deliberate and oold•bloodel
murder of American citiaeds in the streets
of Louisville f bey Irish papists, which pro
voked the recast terrible riots in that city.
To this end gar)ded and intentionally false
representations Of the origin of those riots
are published diver and over, the whole
censure being thrown on the Amerioan
party, and tbp yoreign rabble justified in
their acts of outrage and murder. Wo do
not justify the excesses committed by the
Americium in totaliation of those outrages
We can readily conceive the .struggle it
must have reqnired on the part of peaecable
native-born citizens of Louisville to repress
a feeling of bitter indignation while4heir
brethren wore being cooly and deliberately
shot down in the public streets, in broad
dsy light, by persons who, strangers
, to
them alikein birth anti national feeling,
were yet enjoying the privileges and hos
pitalities extended by our laws to them as ,
well as us. ' Human nature revolts at In
gratitude, which, viper-like, stings the bo
som that had furnished shelter and protec
tion. Still it would have been better—in
finitely better in every respect—bad these
first unprovoked outrages been handed o
ver to the officers of the law,. without'any
attempt at retaliation.*
While, however, this,is to bo admitted,
wo cannot command language strong *e
nough to express. our deep, earnest loath
ing of the utter abandonment of all moral
principlelhat caw induce an editor of an
American journal, for the sake of subser:
vieg partizan purposes, to utter One single
word of justification of the murder of A
merican citizens, upon the land of their
birth and in the midst of their homes, for
no other reason*, than that they dared to
exereiso.the privileges of freemen and vote
as their judgment and conscience dictated.
With such a spirit animating the leaders
of the Locofoco party, is it any wonder
that the Foreign clement in our midst
grows impudent, and insolent, and lawless,
ready, at a moment's notice,.to insult and
brow-beat, and if need be, murder, Amen-
cau eitizeus.rocklug the 'peamablc. exercise
of their. lights. .
The sad tragedies at Louisville furnish
a most powerful 'argument in behalf of A
meriCan principles, and apfleal with terri
ble earnestness to the people of this coun
try to unite in .a movement which shall
control and render powerless this lawless
material, if its introduction into our midst
cannot be prevented. No government iu
the world—not even the worst despotism
of Europe—would tolerate for a single'
day outrages such as those we have wit
nessed at Cincinnati, Louisville, and other
places throughout this country.. And yet
those outragea.a*.boldly ..4efeßded by the
• miserable demigagues that lead the anti-
American crusade. And' American °W
achs, for daring to seek a correction of them
1 in the future, aro 'denounced as "traitors"
to their country, "nidniglatassassins,""en
lemies of the Consti lion," members of a
a .'dark !enter tgarely," and "fit asso
ciates for the h gb-wayman and other per
petrators of deeds of dirkness." How
long will the 'American people submit to
be thus insulted, and abused, and libeled ?
. In another. column we give an article
from the Louisville Journal in regard to
these riots, which is worthy of perusal.—
The Journal sustains its position by a host
of sworn affidavits as to the origin of the
riots, some of which we may find room for
next week. • -
KrA few weeks ago. we had occasion
to remark upon the return of MT. BENJA
MIN WALKER'S paper from the Arendts
town Post.office;as "refused," without ar
rearagcs being paid. It gives as pleasure
to state that Mr. WALKER has since called
with us, and by !satisfactory explanations.
has relieved himself from all censure. The
fault lies .exclusively with the Post-office.
I
seems that Mr. WALKER two 'or three
years ago subscribed for the "Star" for a
limited period, paying therefore in advance.
At the end ofthattime he sent word to have
the paper discontinued which novor came
to band, or was evorlookod. It was accord
ingly continued up to the time we receiv
ed the note from the Postmaster which was
r our first intimation the paper was not lift

ly never lifted a paper after his first sub
scription expired, but did not even know
of its being continued until advised recent-
ly by the Postmaster. - We make this ex
planation in justice to Mr.,WALKErt,andat

may occur. No injustice will be' done if
Postmasters will bat do their duty under
the law - . It is their businass promptly to

man by a majority of 2,200. If we mis.
take not; Mr. Shannon was one of Mr.

try, and persuade her to let us have Taxis.
His correspondence with the Mexican Min.
inter was so feeble, and his ignorance so
marked, that the whole Country laughed
at him, and ho returned in disgrace.—
Since that memorablo mortification, ho re•
maned in private life r until exhumed in
1853. If he should go to Kansas, it will
be to serve the purposes of Atchison and

its:organization. The proposal to change
the requirement of membership of the par
ty from 4.nativa born citizens" to "citizens
of Massachusetts," failed, but, the other
changes proposed by the committee were
generally adopted. These liberalize tho
system of government very essentially, a
bolishing all .the oaths of membership and
the several degrees. and modify tho secre
tly principle so that it shall consist only in
a password and signs of recognition, and
leave the meeting to be public or private,
as tho several Counoils shall elect for them
selves. A. man may become a member of
the order by being accepted by a majority
vote of the Council to which he is admit,-
ted and signing the constitution and plat
form thereof.

,than 8,620 Mormons sailed from Great

Upon what groutid has this removal
been based ? A careful perusal of all the
doCuments published in relation ttiP the :
purchase of the hall-breed lands by GOv.
Reeder, will satisfy any disinterested man
that this charge has not the , shadow-of a
justification for his summary removal
It is nut urged that a full. fair ands:alarm.
tory price was not "offiired and agreel tis
be paid. Dot air if to show how more
than wingless and unjust was the Nerd-,
dent's act, the very purchases made were.
not to be effective or valid unless with Inc
distinct approval. The sales were upon
the express condition that they should re.'
ceive his :sanction: If illegal, ifiragainet
the spirit or letter of any act of Congress,
if against any regulation for the control of
officers under the general governmeni im
hibiting the purchase of lands, the contracts
made by,Gov.. Reeder could at once have
been disapproved. And yet because the
Gov. made such conditional purchase., the.
President for this reason has displaced
him. This at least is the cause assigned.
But even this is repudiated by the pro.sla
very mon of Kansas, for they know all
the facts, and avow that the alleged land
speculations would not moment the after
dinner act of the President, They de
mand that the removal shall be put upon
the ground whi4. every PeOectifig man
knows to be the tfup ono, that Gov. Ree -
der would not be a passive tool to aid in
the extension ofslavery. And thus iir re
warded firmness in asserting the enrich) ,
of the ballo*-box, resolution to protect it,
and the earnest purpose-in carrying out the
idea of popular sovereignty . when it was
attacked and overborne by the rifle, the
bowie knife, and the revolver. How
mournful is it that a Democratic President
should be found giving a vital stab to
the principles embodied in the very term
democracy, anti encouraging reckless men
in thoir unilateral war upon the right of

As an independent journalist, we have

to give resolute support to all the measu

spirit of independence. It is destructive
of free thought and free speech. Its ten

PROBABLE ATTACK ON 6WEABORO.

says:
"I again open this letter to inform you

SPAlN:—Although tranquility appears
to be established in Spain. many influen

•and that they have, in consequence, re
.commended Espartero or O'Donnell to
take the dictatorship. and to exercise it
