Synopsis
Excerpt from A Plain Statement, Addressed to All Honest Democrats
The late election riots in the District of Colum bia, in which negroes bore a prominent part, have filled the souls of the Democracy with right eons indignation; and the Washington correspond ent of the paper last quoted, in his letter of June 5, 1868, speaks of them as terrible negro riots, involving brutal murders, felonious house breakings, murderous assaults, rise, during which these demons let loose yelled for Grant and Colfax while robbing, plundering, and mur dering.
Now, we say of every kind of mob-violence, what one said of slavery, It is wrong, all wrong; and no possible contingency can make it right.
