TEE LOUISVILLE RIOTS! Who is Responsible? Much excitement exists in the public mind in regard to the riots of the past two or three days in Louisville, and, of course, there is a great diflerence of opinion in regard to the origin, and as to who is to blame, or who are responsible. The Old-Line papers, of

The Louisville Courier is vehement in ita denunciations, and exhibits the utThe Jour-

xnost malignity in its tone. The Jour-

nal on the other hand charges it on jcans

Foreigners, and says that the first out-

rage was the firing upon two gentlemen riding in a carriage through the streets, from a house inhabited by Germans or Irish', and afterwards says that men coming in from the country were fired

upon without any provocation whatever,

from a Brewery from which armed forsigners were afterwards driven. Again, the Cincinnati Commercial, a strong Anti-Know-Nothing paper, charges the blame upon the Foreigners, and says that the cause' of the outbreak in one| ward was, that an Irishman being chal-

The Cause of the Riot. Tho following, which we clip from the Democrat, seems to be the true details of the origin of the riot in Louisville. If true, and all the reliable evidence tend to its confirmation, then, indeed, it is time that the American people would arouse. If our citizens are to be shot down in cold-blood as they are passing quietly through the streets by men from other nations, concealed in houses and behind walls, by men, too, whose residence in our country scarcely dates from the commencement of the present' year, then, indeed, would we do well to heed the warning voice of Washington, "who, tho' dead

yet speaketh ^'against tho

wiles of Foreign influence, I conjure

you to believe me, fellow-citizens, the

jealousy of a free people ought to be

constantly awake, since history and experience prove that Foreign influence is one of tho most baneful foes of Republican Governments."

course, charge it to the know-Nothings. assaUlted at some distance from the

kneed at the polls, turned upon his caaLnger and knocked him down, and Americans p.».ng on Main street were thereupon the other Foreigners about

tbfl polls "pitched in" and the fight be daaae general. One thing, conceded hj all, is a fact pregnant with meaning, tci~wit, that the Foreigners were all prepared for the conflict, being armed to the teeth, while on the part of tho Americans there is no evidence of preparation. Altogether, the evidence seems

to prove that it was an unprovoked and

aaturalized Foreigners. Bat the real responsibility, a$ we conceive, does not strictly rest upon either the Foreigners

or American party but solely upon the Old-Line Press and Old-Line Orators, who have for the past twelve months, been eagerly at work, abusing, slandering and misreprenting the objects and views of the Know-Nothings, and, thereby, striving to arouse a feeling of animosity and bitterness in the rsinda of the Foreigners, and striving to give them the impression that the American party were preparing not only to proscribe, but to totally disfranchise and annihilate the Foreign population of this country. No lie—no slander—no misrepresentation, however contemptible or flimsy, has been unused ic place the K. N's in a false light before the world, and to array against tkem the Foreigners in our midst.— Thus by a systematic course of the most viilianous falsehood have they broughtabout this terrible disgrace over which these virluuous and soft-hcaried

Old Fogies shod so many .crocodile tears. These are responsi le, and will be held so by their Country—their Conscience and GOD '.

Meanwhile the "Fusilade Rifles" fired guns from a row of Irish houses on the corner of Eleventh and Main sts. on all passing Americans, several of whom were wounded. A crowd of Americans assembled, and failing to dislodge them fired the houses and sent for reinforcements. They soon arrived with muskets and cannon. Several of the Irish were shot in the burning buildings.

No attempts were made to put out the fire. Two or three blocks were burned. On leaving the Eighth Ward,'the mob, now infuriated, marched to the
