MOB IN CI\ClNN ATI.

The public excitement which, it was evident
from recent indications, existed in Cincinnati IL
gainst an Abolition press and its proprictors, has
resulted in open violence. The following partic-
ulars are published in postscript to the Cncn-
natl Wing Of Monday last, August l =
About nine o'clock on Saturday evening, be-
tween four and five thousand people (ds it is sup
poScd) had assembled around the publication office
ol the abolition paper, edited by James c. Birncv,
and printed by A. Pugh, ut the \. T.. corner OF
Main and Seventh streets. In a few moments the
types and printing materials of that establishment
were seen dashng ont of lis windows into the
streets, amid the cheers ofthcimmcnse mass of peo-
pie below.
In IA very short Time the windows the building
and every thing IN the office were completely de-
moll>hed and Strcwcd about the streets. The
printing Press WAS broken 10 pieces, and the lar
gest piece dragged through several of the principa
streets and then thrown into tie river. Thus far
every thing was done in the most systematic
order, and is believed, was laci,ly countcnanced

citizens.

TIE NOR SPIRIT

The ST. LOUIS Republican of the 23d July
furnishes the annexed account of pIsGRACErII FRO
cEEpINGs.
" The GOOD order of our toSn was disturbed
on Thursday night by the rioous proceedings of
II few disorlcry men, who, about II o'clock,
proceeded to the Office of the 81. LouiS Observer,
broke open the doors upset the press, and cast the
types into the street We believe that not moro
than fifteen or twenty individuals took part in the
mob. About 10 o'clock "A drum was beat, and a
few men appeared AT the call, marched INTO Water
and Main street, and without increasing their Mum
bcrS, thence proceeded to execute their work.
One of the Aldermen, Byran Mullanphy, Esq.
attempted To arrest the proceedings bat finding II
impracicabe, being unas,iStcd by the watch OF
of the city officers, he was obliged to dcSis We
understand at the time Of writing this paraer,plr
from the Mayor, that he is determined to prosecute
the leaders of the mob to the extent of his pow
ers.
we put aside altogether the individual Who's
conduct has furnished pretended excuse for tins
outrageous violation of the law. His publication
may have been mprndent; but that he had right,
a constitutional right, which he should have sur
rendered only with his iles blood to review Judge
LAwLEss's charge to the grand Jury, and to dearc
his own sentiments and his innocence OF the accu-
! sations against linn in that charge, is Il position
that we hold to be entirely tcnablc. His rcputa-
ton is, doubtless, as dear 10 him any mans, and
he would have been unworthy the lame of an
! AMERICAN CITIZEN had he not performed his duty
to himself, to his family, and TO the country Put
ting that aside, because we believe IA more impor-
tant question than mere personal one is involved
we ask, where is this thing to end Who can
, predict that the fate OF this mans property may
J not be visited upon the most worthy citizen OF the
! town, without warning, with less excuse, aud will
