Alexandria Gazette

If any Conservative paper were to say what is here quoted, it would probably be denounced by the Radical leaders, as abusive, untrue, and everything else that is bad. But the New York Tribune publishes a letter from Arkansas, and endorses it, in the words following, to wit: … We print herewith a letter from Little Rock, exposing the villanies which have distracted the Republican party in that State. It will serve to explain the weakness and demoralization of the Republican party, not only in Arkansas, but in several other Southern States, wherein selfish, unprincipled, rapacious scoundrels have been enabled to clutch the reins of authority and ride recklessly over public interest and private right to the achievement of their sordid and shameful ends. Let it be recollected that this is not from a Democratic, or Conservative, or "Copper Head," or Ku-klux source, but from the New York Tribune, that organ, that director, that leader of the "Republican party," relied upon, sworn by, and recognized wherever Radicalism prevails.
