Dear Sir.-The short distance between
the place of your asylum and this town in
vites me, my mind always anxious TO meet
you Especially since the late disgraceful,
and, to you, destructive scene in Baltimore
to mount my horse for Montgomery, but
circumstances interfere which Illustrate INV
wishes.
Besides as soon asI hear from Richmond,
expected every day, / must go to Baltimore,
where | ought to have been on the 10th, but
where l cannot so until am prepared.
You mean to return and rc-establish your
press this decision, presume, COMFORTS
with your interest and is called for by due
respect to yourself, to your friends and To
your country. Mobs are Justly stiled sores
political by acrimonious Tom, when his pen
was directed by truth, and not by ambition
They must not be allowed to take rest in our
land, or soon will our tall trees be abrupted
from their foundation.
1t is possible, I fear probable, that your
return to Baltimore will be followed by a
repetition of the past-this cannot but occur
to your own mind, and must produce de-
termination to resist to the last.
Vain is such determination unless accom-
panied by preparation to defend Yourself
Select house for your business capable
OF 'dcfence-place your family under the
same roof, and collect few resolute friends,
some OF whom shall always be in the house
throughout the day and all throughout the
night.
Put in the most retired room in the upper
story cartridge made of the best powder,
with ball and swan shot these with a mum
Der OF spare f1ints chosen with care, reserve
Tor the hour of trial, if that hour should come
Prepare also cartridges with small shot

couraging the mob by their experience Of
their innocence collect a ton or two of large
stones IN your cellar, place some of them
close to the windows over the other doors
OF the house, to be rolled down on the assai-
lants when forced forward through the pres
sure of those behind. Water and biscuit be
sure to have in abundance.
Appropriate TO every story proportion
OF your friends, assigning to each story a
leader-let them not be crowded or you not
only unnecessarily risk their lives but you
injure your ability TO defend-In a safe up

leisure arranging to them the supply of car

render necessary.
Appoint chief to direct the whole, and

The defenders Of the house must be post

ought also to be opened if the ground admit:

In case of forcing the outer doors and en-.

Should the iniquity of the mob render i;
proper TOR you to adopt my advice, remem-
Der that you ought not TO provoke their &C.

aid OF the civil, authority, and that you ha-
