Orr blood boils with indignation when we
,ce in the democratic papers edited BY TO-
s;oosrs. accounts Of the proceedings Of the
Nah = Baltimore. Native born Americans
i hose every prospect IS intimately and solely
INJECTED with the welfare Of their country,
!. sriematisedby the sweepings OF European
81. i 4yretchss and iulsances IN OUR country,
p.;6.b emissaties, sc. and charged with the
kyood split by an nnbridIed banditti composed
ofnateYials in consonance with their own dla-
holical natures. The Editor Of the Norfolk
Herald, one of those Imported gentry, intro
1nces 4 letter from BALTIMORE with the follow
ioo observations, the conclusion of which for
badness in asserting falshood, we do notre-
member to have seen out done,
arr BALTI6lORE. MOBss! p
TIE respectable and populous City of
Fillmore has become asoene OF party violence
oTriot and bloodshed .--P 9ssion triumphs over
reason, and bind aud iufuriate hatred seizes
the mace OF justice to execute its fell purpos-
es in defiance Of al law human aud divine !!
Gracious God Wbercis this to end The
laws once trodden under foot, all the mallg7
paat passions excited to their highest pitch, &
terror and prescription the hat OF individuals
--the heart chills at the prospect. Nothing
can be conceived more horrible in civilized
country than mob arrogating to itself the
attributes Of Justice, to seek It's own revenge
AID If any thing could possibly afford a
mite Of extenuation, for such lawless pro-
cedare, it must be such circumstance as
Occesioned the unhappy riots at Baltimore
The wretch so long nuisance IN eur coun-
try, who, but few weeks ago, was drl-
ven from that city by one of these lawlcss
assemblages, and his person threatened with
violence If ever he returned, what does he do?
Does he claim the protection OF the law No.
He appeals to the ler faHonis, collects mob
for his protection, and de6es all opposition
thus inviting and fomenting riot-To the
account of this wretch, this British emissary
therefore is to be placed, the blood which
flowed on the occasion.
That student Of tweaty-one universities,
scapey Binns, Editor Of the Philadelphia De-
mocratic Press, has likewise been amusing
himself in similar manner. We would re-
commend to him VIXEN he next publishes IN
formation onthe subjectofthe Baltimore Mob,
furnished from Alexandria, to be a little eau
dcustLat he isnot made dupe ofby his good
friends. His assertion that Mr.. Wagner sent
to Alexandria to enquire whether he would
be permitted to publish his paper there, we
are morally certain is gross falsehood.-A
large majority Of the citizens of Alexandria
have no disposition to prevent any person from
prosecuting their business in fhe town, and
are always ready to afford protection both to
their persons and property. We have, thank
God, no such incendiaries in this town, who
think it prudent to ayow themselves, as uu-
happily infest the devoted city of Baltimore
and we believe We might say Philadelphia and
Norfolk, but fortunately in the two last places
they have not yet dared to shew themselves,
Notwithstanding the encouragement they have
Received in Philadelphia from the bettrayer Of
@sratortunate Dr. Quigisy.
He following letter from friend in Balti-
more, dated the 5th instant, to the Editor, wilI
tend in.some degree to elucidate the situation
0gtAat devoted city.
Baltimore, august $.
