A priirate letter from Chester, dated Sept. 14,
says We are all perfectly qui4.in this neigh-
bourhood, and I believe generally in the county;
but sedition is still in full operation, although
covertly. The white bat is the grand symbol of
disaffection ; and I am told, that on tionday last,
the show of these modern caps of libeqy in Man-
chester was immense.”

RIOTOUS MEE:I'ING OF REFORMERS

ti PAISLEY.

GLASGOW, SEPT. 13 —We are sorry (0 State
th:it there have been some disgraceful dis!‘lrba!:,•es
at Paisley, the result of a public ; no.
lives, however, have been lust, and we tr-st it
will be found that, upon bother inquiry, few per-
sons have been seriously hurt. Ample details of
the particulars will be found in' the subsequent
columns.

It has been repeatedly stated, and therefore we
suppose it true, that diret citrus were issued front
the Secretary of State's Office to the Magistrates
generally, to preserve the peace, it possible, on
occasions, by the civil power, and not to call
in the military but in the last emergency. Had
this order been reversed, and the public apprised
that the military were to be exclusively employed,
we suspect that our late meetings would have
been more thinly attended. We can see no rea-
son against calling out the military on every oc-
casion when the public peace is io danger
it certainly is most preposterous to see armed
men, who are pei,i by the public, lying sung in
their barrack, while unarmed citizens are called
from their different occupations to make head
against a mob. The anxiety which this occasions
to the families of those constables is in many
cases very great, and should not be inflicted with...
out urgent necessity. Fiery person who pays
taxes in support of the army serves by substitu-.
tion ; and we have great doubts whether a Ma-
gistrate be warranted in calling upon any one
to serve personally, unless upon a deficiency of
the military. That the' military are the best pre-
ventive twee, was completely illustrated by what
took place at Paisky on Saturday : when it was
understood that the Magistrates were to depend
upon the constabulaty solely, there was immedi-
ately formed 'a banal 01 men ready to give them'
battle; but the moment that an alarm was raised
of the military ativaecing, this saute band ,vere
seen flying in all directions, without waiting to in-
quire whether there were ten soldiers or ten him-
' Bred. Had the Magistrates taken a small m+iitaty
guard with them, it is not probable that sa stogie
flag would have been displayed in the streets of
Paisley; and thus all the mischief have been avoid-
ed. There is another consideration ton, that the
disciplined solder, while be performs his duty
most effectually, performs it also most mildly,
because he stops the moment it is completed. On
this ground we contend, that when a Magistrate
has two descriptions of force at his command, it
is incumbent on him to employ in preference the
soldiers of the line, because they will most effec.
twiny re-establish the peace, and with the least
possible violence. We trust, then, that these
qualms about employing the military will be aban-
doned, and that the Magistrates will cease to
harass peaceable citizens who pay for others to
protect their lives anti properties, and conse-
quently ate entitled to exemption from all unne-
cessary service in their own persons. If the mi..
litary are inadequate to maintain the public Peace,
then there can be no doubt it is incumbent on
every able-bodied citizen to come forward with
alacrity in support of every thing that is valuable
to us.

The want of cavalry barracks in Glasgow was
severely felt on Saturday night, when an express
came in from Paisley about eleven o'clock for the
Dragoons. The men being dispersed in quarters,
it was necessary to ,sound the bugle ; but along
with those for whom it was intended, it bkonghe
all the blackguards in the town to the streets.'
The horsemen, we.are ashamed to say, were much
insulted, and we have heard that one of them w 43
considerably hurt. The forbearance of the
tary, which forms a prominent theme in all the
Reform Meetings, has raised an audaciousness
among the mischievous which we should be happy
to see laid.
