The Murder at Neutrality-suspicious. Of
the Peepie this afternoon and evening.
A great public meeting in the Park has been called
together for this afternoon at O'clock express the
indignation Of the moral sense Of this community
against the recent bloody doings Al Washington and
also to begin popular movement, having for its OBJ
iect the entire suppression by law Of Congress Of
the barbarous practice of dsellng and bloody
al conflict. In the evening, meetings are also called
together by that portion of the people denomnated
wings for the purpose of taking preparatory
10 the next charter elections and to sustain the great
political revelation and reform which began at the
polls auspiciousy last year. and which every good
man wishes may continue till the present Executive
be changed for better.
The first meeting is called without distinction OF
party-the latter in the several wards, with reference
to another purpese-the charter elections-but we
trust and hope that whatever be the political charac
ter and sympathies of all these assemblages on one
great point, the barbarous and lnhuman practice
of Dwelling, they will emily feel man, they will
only move with heart with one soul, and with
enc spirit of Indignation against blood and foul con-
spracy. The question now before the public is too
sacred too holy deeply important to the rsputa-
ton of this great country, TO be mingled with the vu
gar party personal feelings of the day. It's qses-
ton affecting the foundations of society-the perma-
nen'e of our free nsttutons-the preservation of the
liberty of speech and of the press-the supremacy Of
the constitution and aws-and the duty Of moral be-
ings, Christians men, and Americans.
We earnestly, and deeply and most feryently re-
commend to the great meeting TO be held in the Park
and TO every smaller meeting that may be held in the
seventeen wards, to take bold, noble, moral, and
elevated stand on the great principles of morality
law, constitution and human right. A great crime
has been committed under the impulse of foul con-
spiracy of bloody minded men, The halls Of Congress
stand polluted with felons and mHrderers. Let the
honest people, without any of the miserable dstinc-
tons of party call for immediate inreshgat of
the foul crime expulsion Of the murderers with all
their aiders and abetors, of whatever party, from
blood stained congress- and the deliberate enactment
OF law, under the authority Of that body to punish
with death and the deepest dishonor all towards who
engage in such foul contests hereafter
In a more especial manner does il become the duty
OF the whig meetings tonight speak freely on these
events. Some of their leading men and editors orr
ginated and have been engaged in this foul eonspra
cy and unless they publicly and before heaven disa-
vow the deed of blood their great and glorious cause
will be crimsened with the stains that fell from the
heart of Jonathan Ci.ley. The wings are in great
crsis-a moral and political crisis. If they listen to
the cowardly palliators of blood and crime which
come from the conspira,ors and their advocates
the American the Star, and such like jsurnas-the
great and good cause of reform in the Executive GO
yernmcnt will be eopardized and injured for years to
come In the eyes of this community and nation-n
the eyes of Europe and the world-in the dread and
sacred eye of Heaven and Eternity the sanctuary Of
liberty has been violated, blood has been she'd muir
der has been committed the nation disgraced and
this disgrace this violation this blood this foul con-
splracy must be washed away by the united moral
and peaceable indignation Of whole people ans of
all parties. Expulsion Of the tslons and the enact
msu Of q iaU against mMrder-let this be the
watchword of the honest wings tonight in every
ward Of the city Beware, beware beware, OF bad
advisers.
