ing Us at once and twenty hours behind the nows-
papers They arc written with warmth and spirit for
which we presume allowances are to be made in
their publication We have no doubt that the conduct
Of the LocOoco Desuuetives was such as to exasps-
rate the feelings Of every liberal Republican and cannot
DO surprised any severity Of language that may BIO

in their peacefully assembling in the place consecracd
to them by time and usage to discuss that system which
has been, in peaceful times, the proxmatc main

lawful deliberations Of any class Of citizens recognized
by the Constitution! What is the inference to be
drawn by the public from the dreadful appehensions OF
the consequences of meeting Of Republicans friendly

customhouse officers in New York, and from the fact
that those officers encouraged in their proceedings

Aud is the administration ambitious of that distinction
But does the majority Of two OF the Tammany Society

it would follow that it is opposed to wcllreguIaed

cast out OF the Hall by those Loco-focos who have
usurpcd the places Of old fashioned JefersonianM adi
