The Police OF our CITY.

violent cutlery has been raised by certain prints
against the conduct of police authorities IN ar
resting number of street walkers, whom they found
peramouating the city night after night, insulting
every person whom they met, and disgusting the
sidents OF some OF the most respectable streets in
the city. These prints have made the most fragrant
charges against these magistrates aud the officers
without any justification whatever, and the tendency
Of their assaults is to cause every one to set at
naugh the authority of the police. How is it posi-.
BILE for the police of this or any city to keep order
and preserve the laws, if the press comes out and
abuses ihem and bels them for putting in force the
very laws they bound by their oath of office to
enforce. But it seems that o. that very disre
putabe class of characters who were taken up have
established certain prints, the latter feel bound to
come out and protect them by abusing the police.
Let any one recol!ect the state of Broadway and
Chamber street, and Warren, and the various cor
ners in that ghborhood, for some weeks past, and
how dangerous it was for a respectable female to
pass for fear of insult. Why, even in Paris such
diseraceful scenes are neither tolerated or wit
messed, and the poor degraded creatures that are
wandering about and annoying every body, ough,
to be taken before the proper authorities, and, il
possible, provided for in some way that they may
not return to their haunts ofvice.
The nuisance spoken of is one that has long
called for redress at the police; it has been demand.
ed by the respectable inhabitants of the neehbor.
hoods that have nightly been infested with these
people; and instead Of being libelled saad abused
therefor, thei police deserve the thanks Of the
whole community for their correct conduct in the
premises.
