| TuF CRiSIs-AS vet all IS peace anu quiet IN the
city, notwithstanding the high state Of feeling which
Sprcvails We have every reason to believe that all
classes of citizens think best 10 have it remain So
| There is paper among somewhat celebrated III
the annals o mohs that compares the Mayor and Re-
corder, highest officers Of the peace, 10 highway
robbers, aud makes nammatory appeal, which sub
stantiay threatens violence. We are, however, hap
py i'm the belief that the time has gone Iy when there
need be the least teai of any popular CONNEXIONS
being caused by the row harmless hrayado If that
journal. il passes for what il is worth and produces
| no effect Tee people have made up their minds that
there is nothing 10 he gained by tearing down man
house, burning up his property or throwing brickbas
al each others heads. Since the cheap papers have
found then way among all classes Of PERSONS city
has been pr"y peaceabe place, all things considered,
aud IL y inhabited hy an nrder-lovng people. The
only winch has occurred dnring the present excite
n,ent, was occasnned hy al assault Of the Sheriff
upon the Recorder, Of which we believe there -
but opinion among all persons who are yet IN
the full possession Of their senses. We look with
confidence to the intelligence, the discretion, the
lf.respect and the plrirlsn al the citizens OF New
York 10 carry Us quietly and goad-nauredly through
this trying crisis. No partizan can expect 10 make
convert to his cause by knocking down h'soPpnnent
nnch more cfirctnral way would be I" take hun by

abusing him, mildly and by all means in moderate
lone Of voice, which always keeps The temper cool,
present facts, proofs and arguments, which Will he
likely 70 have weight upon the mind and consci-
pnc". Thus is much better way 10 convince a
man Of hi- error than 10 tear his house down. For
our ~ part, anticipate violence, although II
invited and threatened by or Two prints destitute
alike oil character aud influence The good citizens al
New York know too well what is due 10 their honor and
their hest interest not 10 preserve the peace and obey
The laws And rs Here Is probability Of an in
