We exeeedtngly regret this be cause of oar regard for the reputation of ihe Slate, as well as for the peaoe and welfare of her people. Theae, with as, rise above all other consideration. We would nerer wish for the pass age of a bill which would t-iitl auger these siwbly to advance the interveta of oor party, aud we i Link we are as muck devoted to party as any mau should be. That therv is not the slightest necesei- ty for the pessnge of such bill, aU fair minded man of all twti.s must admit "u Lin mr m.ii..tHiued that our neoule were a loyal and law abiding people, aud we still beliere so. It is now doubly in mbeiil upon them to prove that they are so. If reck force sboehl be called eat it will irritate many of the beet men ia tbe State, especially If It should be eom posed is whole or in part of colored men. Rut w, would admom-h aH to submit with the beet grace they can. To use a vol- , , . gar phrase we say, let ns "gnu and bear k." There Is nothing that will secure us so much sympathy n ith the Konhem people as the meekness whh which we submit to wrong when it is perpcuated under the lonns of law, and no other course w ill bring ns such speedy relief. On the other band every riot or diffi rultr thai mar occur w ill bo ebarired ot the friends of Seymour and Blair at the North, and will damage the ticket tlious ands of votes in those States upon which we iviy fur iu election. We may be able to demonstrate to the satisfaction of every fair minded man in the State that the Democrats and Conservatives are not to blame, but still they will redound mucii to our injury. e might iiisUnee nam- bers of eases, ueh as tbe Memphis aud New Orleans riots, bet it is unnecessary.
