Public OPinisn--Ap Election.
The recent events in this city have walked up tn
whole country Among others, we find the following
remarks in the Baltimore Gazette" highly res
pectable paper published in that city:
"The spirit of insubordnation prevails to an exten
in New York, that will require great vigilance anG
energy on the part of the police and the orderly wen
disposed citizens to restrain and keep proper bounds
The editorial articles the subject in the New orN
Herald regret to see are more calculated 70 III
crease than to allay the excitement which exists, -
newspaper becomes srebrand among ss on
when il is used 10 recommend combination OF any
portion Of the people to resist the laws Oh "
with the rights of property
We deny the "sOft impeachment we nave never
recommended combination TO resist the laws, or
to interfere with the rights of property Our course
has been exactly opposite. We have recommended
appeal 10 the laws and uries to protect the rights
Of property and rights of persons Our respected
friend of The Gazette has caught up the malicious cla
NOR of the Wall street press in its upon the small
daily prnts-a war which springs from envy and fear.
Read us again and do us ustice-do not impute to US
what we abhor.
Because few of the madmen at the public meeting
last Monday committed riot is that reason that
twenty thousand citizens should be involved in the
dsgrace2 If under the mantle of great public meet
ing few men secretly combine to make a riotous
attack upon property, let them be punished; but do
not attempt to forbid the right Of the people to hold
public meetings, because riots have been committed
Punish nots-punish rioters-but do not seek to pun
sh the right of opinion-the liberty of speech-and
the freedom of the people hold public meetings and
consult on the dstresses Of the times. If iii ncendi
airy to say that -four provisions rents real estate are
too high, we will never give up such right at any
hazard We will die first.
We trust and hope that all rioters will be vigorously
and severely punished The peace of society and the
rights OF property and persons must bepreserved ntan
gable. Our courts and jures must be firm and just
There is no value in lberty-no value in law-no va
iue in socery-n opinion and thought cannot be pre-
served pure-free from all riots and illegalty-from
all ruffianism and brutality.
Thepeeple of New York will show their capacity for
meeting again in the same place, without riots, and
for preventing riots, if any attempt be made. The
spring elections are approaching. 1t is time for the
people to move, and that rapidly. great political
revolution is at hand. The organization and combi
nations of both the whig and Tammany parties will
be Frustrated in the dust before the indignation of an
excited and cheated people. Every hour-every day
every week-the deep roll of this political revolution
reverberates from the general heart New York The
cup is full. The remedy for the present times is a
complete political revolution, beginning in New York,
and utter and FINAL prostration of the political clubs
of Tammany and Masonic Halls They have now
fully filled the measure of their nfamy. Their cor
rpton and disgrace are complete. Let the people
prepare Cor another great Public Meeting next week.
The revolution begins with the election Of new May
and Corporation Go ahead. Pat down rioters-pun-
ish rioters-butgo ahead.
