Some OF our readers may need to be in
ormed that the "Untarians" are a political
party, and might, with eqnal proprely, be

the others Masorcas, or, as they call them.

the most outrageous and barbarous atrocities
upon The Unltarians, or those whom they chose
10 designate as such that were living in the
city many of whom we're unoffending citizens
and had never taken any part in politics.
The Masorcas themselves, together with some
assassins, being of the lowest class of the
Gauchos, and others employed by them began
the work Of butchery oh the night oflhe lllh

for in the streets, they put an end TO them a!
at once, by cutting their throa,s and throwing
their bodies into The cart, which took them
out Of the city. lflhey did not meet them in
the streets, they would take them out Of their
houses. In two instances respectable persons
were killed in presence Of their fsmilies, while
sitting in their entries. In other cases, when
they had no cart they .raied the bodies on the
ground with the Lasso, after their horses. In
others, they placed their victims on their
horses alive, and took them mile out ofthe
city and there despatched them, and threw
their bodies into bitches or pits, sometimes
leaving them in the open fields. Some where

acts; which were afterwards committed 10

some of the wealthiest merchants down to the
poorest mechanics.
These proceedings so far, have been entirely
among the natives themselves: The rights
and property Of foreigners have been respected
so far as have heard, except in one or t1o
instances, when they had either secreted ma
lives in their houses, or assisted Them in esca~

harbor. This had become very difficult, as

All their banks have long since broke and
