suggest that all places which people are eypect-

the Procession. As further evidence of,iIe zeal and
enthusiasm which pervades this population, we
would state that such is the anxiety to do every
thing in the very best style, that M less than sixty
DOLLARS is demanded, and we believe will be given

gentleman of veracity who was a eve witness
to the whole attempt a rescue made Yesterday by
the NEGROES, assures it was very nsirnifica nj
affair. He strongly and decidedly reprobates con-
dcmns and would severely punish the attack made
upon the officers of justice, but he cannot persuade
himself that the riot was prcconcerted. He regards
it criminal aud highly reprehensible displav of
feeling wrought up by the of two or three de-
signing coloured people, and considers some Of the
accounts published as having tendency to convey
abroad an idea of alarm and apprehension which
never existed in the vicinity of the rJot and
while it at its greatest height. He does not
think there twenty Blacks foolish and wicked
enough to engage i'll this outrage on the laws and
peace of the CITY, AL the most active, of them are
IN priSon.-I6.

friendship and affection for their allies TO engraf
