serve the peace of the City. One of the Ed
tors narrowly escaped with his life after being
pursued by ruifians, who avowed their fell pur-

the Mob the evening after, and went to Balti-
more the next day, accompanied by his friend
Capt. Richard l. Crabb, to make arrange
ments fer re-establishing the paper. Finding
it impossible to render any service, the laws
being efectually silenced, and his friends una
nlmously urging his departure, he left town
In few liours, having first walked the streets
as usual, and made all the arrangements that
could be made, in conjunction with his friends
and agents, for reviving the paper with all
possible dispatch.
Upon his return home to Rockville Mont
Eomery County, Mr.. Hanson communicated
to some OF his most intimate friends his deter
nination to reeommence the paper in Balti
more, and declared he never would visit Bal
timore again until he could go prepared to
assert his rights, and resist oppression. He
was aware that the execution of his plan would
be accompanied with much difficulty and dan
ger, but his friends admired and approved it
the more on that account, and volunteered to
accompany him to Baltimore, to participate
his dangers r successes in maintaining the
rights of person and property, and defending
the liberty of the Press They were nine in
number General James Nj. Lingan. (nIur-

gone, bit we're prevented and on the night
OF the attack, the psrty was Joined by three
ether volunteers from the country, who were
not fully apprised by NJ. Hanson, of his de-
termination, but received their information
IN confidence FROM others Major Musgrove,
Henry G. Gather and William Gather. On
the evening ofthe attack, they were Joined by
shout twenty gentlemen living in Baltimore,
one or two only of whom were invited to the
house by Mr.. Hanson.
