MOB LAW.

We find in the last received number Of
the Cincinnati Gazette the following:
MoB.--An intelligent friend. opposed
to us in politics, seeks, in a well written
communication, 10 defend the late out
break, as an exception, though he con-
demns as strongly as we do all violations
Of the law. Ii will not do. There can
be no exceptions under a well regulated
government.
LET Us put case TO him. He is
father. He has sons growing up about
him, and they are educated as much, if
not more, by the spirit Of society as by
the spirit Of his family circle. VIVA,
must these boys think. how must they
feel, when they hear him palliaiing out
break, or, worse still, see him taking part
in il! II would be educating them literal
ly for crime.
Nothing, indeed. gave us more pain
than to see the number Of lads in the mob
of Tuesday morning. mingiing in with
the crowd, and breathing in the spirit Of
misrule. Can we expect them to be or
DERBY men! Do we NOT force them almost
by such examples TO become violators OF
the laws! Accustom our yuuih to such
scenes, let them be taught Ia justify mobs,
and to grow familiar with their excite
ment, and as men they will be lawless
and licentious. A spirit 20 nnrtured will
end in anarchy.
at would be well for parents to think
Of these things. We recommend them
at least TO the consideration Of our friend,
when he argues in favor Of the latesmob
even as an exception TO the general rule"
We do not know how the intelligent
friend" Of the'edi,cr of the Gazette felt af-
ter reading this gentlemanly and just re-
Duke. Rut il he be sensible, as well as
Intelligent" he cannot but have acknow.
lodged the truth Of every word Of il.
How deiestable and ahhorreni, on the
contrary, are not the sentiments which, il
appears from the Ohio State Journal, a
member of the Legislature of that State
has so far braved the moral sense Of civil
ICED society as to utter, in the following
language'
From the 0hip State Journal.
We would ask the attention Of the in.
telligent and honest men of oil parties, of
Ohio and of the whole country, to the
language and sentiments expressed by Mr..
McNulty, the representative from Knox
county, and leading and prominent menu
Der of his party, in the House, on Thurs
day. The bill to repeal the charter Of the
German Bank Of Wooster being under
consideration, Mr.. Men. said:
"That he did not feel particularly
friendly to the bill, but he should vote for
il, however. He could not approve of
that part Of the amendment (offered by
Mr. Schenck) which authorized the insti-
tuition Of Judicial proceedings. lie admir-
ed the system Of settling The affairs of
Banks recently introduced in Cincinnati,
and thought il would prove more efTeciu.
al Than any ding dIst could be done by
the Legislature. Nothing short Of that
would be adequate. lie wanted no bet.
Ter light 70 brighten his way in the path
Of duty than tho burning edi6ces Of every
bank in The state. And he would add,
100, that he should delight 70 see The ma
turai bodies Of those who composed these
frauds Upon the community suspended
like Hamsp high between heaven and
earth" e.. ..s.
