THE SuN NEwspAPER.-FLoyn RroTERs.-We are
sorry to see the Sun endeavorng PREJUDICE the
of these persons indicted for making illegal, bar
barous, unjust and atrocious attack upon the flour
stores of Eli Hart and others
The "Sun" says that Mr.. Windt is peaceabe
citizen, and was not engaged in that riot al ALL If il
is so, the fact Will appearo his trial The grand Jury
would not have presented him without good evidence
without strong grounds Of suspicion. We ourself
have heard good character of Mr. Windt-that he
did not deliver the menacing speech imputed to him
by the Wall street prns-that the reference to Harris
-four store was made by one Mr.. Conner up town. If
this be so, let it be proved on trial.
No grandeur would dare to present or indct any
man for meeting publicly with his fellow-citizens to
consult the signs Of the tmes-to exercise his lber-
ty of speech-to declare his opinion of public affairs
but if a conspiracy has been formed to attack the
-four stores and destroy property, let these conspira-
tors be ferreted out and severely punished. Right OF
property ought to be sacred as right of opinion All
sympathies for the madmen who engaged in that riot
is improper and UNJUST Crime must be punished who
the offenders If our institutions and laws are
worth preserving, the rights of property and right Of
opinion mustbe equally protected
The Sum- must not perms the corrupt Wall street
press to monopolze the sympathy of those good cit
zens who would punish rioters while they would not
prevent liberty although speech. We are engaged
in holy cause against the deep, damnable, Juggling
coruptions Of the whole Wall street press Do moi
permit these instruments of Satan-the Wall stree
prntsto mpute to any desire to screen the rioters
from the Just Indignation Of the law-or to protect
from lust punishment the disurbers of the public
peace. We have no doubt Recorder Riker and the
Court OF Sessions will psnlsh the rioters as they de-
serve, and throw new guarantee around the sacred
and invaluable right of property, right of speech
and liberty of the press.
Do not. oh Sum-" permit myself to be BAN
boozled nv loco f,co nonsenselcave that to the Era
Plant yourself along side Of US, and you are safe.
Thai or THE HAnsLrs GANG ron RroT AND As
sArtr-A report Of the third days proceedings in TINS
interesting case is gwen in another column II will be
continued today in the Sessions Court, and may pro-
badly close tonight, or at farthest tomorrow.
This trial is both amusing and interesting The
manner in which the counsel for the "Gang" conduct
their cause is quite amusing-the general character Of
the trial sdeepy interesting in this rioous age Fol
several wears past the spirit Of msrule and not has per
v,ded this city, 1t has risen such pitch Of late tina
,o,ceabe citizens were afraid go out in the da,
,;r,o ,,;,hovt weapons for defence Fresh instances
Of v;olcnce and misrlle have broken out-so that W
can now muster ND abolition riots election riots, the
a,ncal r,ots -four riots &c. &c. The time has nov
come TO pu, an end to this spirit or It Will put an en-
to civilization and all free institutions toge'her
Courts and Juries must say "thus tar shalt thoucon
and no further"
