Daring Monday. night, magistrates, with bodies
ot troops under their orders, stationed at
Steller's Maine Street, ST. Lawrence Suburb, oil

Suburb Nothing, however, occurred TO distuIo
the quet Of the city.
In regard to the proceedings Of the day and er
pacIay the destruction % property to which IT led,
we can only express our regret that they should
have taken place Where the fault lies, however
is clear enough. The btaggOrs OF the grand
meeting IN Bonacinas yard were the first nggfes-
sors and the consequences of their aggression
were less serious after all than they ina! be SAID
10 have De. cr,ed. The screwed up courage 81
their at,sck would doubtless have brought upon
them far heavier reckoning, had not the down
right porooncry of their re,rea, enabled most OF
,hem ne, -anny TO escape It. Tue attack upon
printing office we regret particularly, haeanse II
may easily oe made means Of strengthening
the hands of the party attacked. The party, how
ever. tina, hos appealed TO- and indeed been the
first to use, violence, has no real right 10 com
plain of the fret return of their own that IL
made them.
We hope The proceedings OF the day will at
once make the "fis de la htcrfr" more chary OF
their promises and own party more careful Ut
their organization. Had the Constutlonalists
been organized they ought, an essalling body OF
mobocrats, like those OF Monday would never have
had HE upper hand even tor the length OF u single
street or for the space Of one ten minutes f; nor
would the subsequent progress Of body Of our
own friends have LAID them open to the charge OF
having themselves played the rorer even by the
, way of retaliation.
The accounts which come in from day to day.
from the country round, and the uegbbofhood Of
ST. Johns m particular, are OF KIND TO she" that
