TIE BANK RIOT Is CINCINNATI.
| Columns, (Cho,) January l3.-We throw together
to-day, all the information collect from the
scene Of disorder brought about by high swindng
as any people ever endured With country overflow
ing with all the bounties of Nature that can make life
happy and comiutable--with peace and plenty sur
rounding every man iirc.side 10 an extent seldom
ever witnessed by any other people, yet we find our
selves in the midst Of set Of as base swindlers rs
ever went unhung in the worst and most degraded
ages Of the world. For the last five years, law has
been set at open defiance by these Bank robbers
| the morale Of the country have been outraged-and
the Legislative power Of the country in all its exer-
tons enforce honesty in these rag barons has
cciyed but the contempt OF magistrates and attorneys,
who denounced them the mere vagarics of the De-
inocratc party-Pdrty measures and party legislation.
BY this means the whole Wing party has been made 10
play most niqutoGs part in sustaining these swInd-
ling shops, and bringing upon the country these dire
Affections We do hope that the people-a robbed,
swndled and ruined peoplewill restrain their feel
ngs under the outrages of these shnpaser gamblers
Nothing can be gained by these outbreaks, just6a.
BILE as many may think they are since our courts of
Justice have become inadequate not laughing stock,
in bringing these criminals to justice and punishment,
but much will be lost 10 good and heretofore
high moral character.
| lave patience Public opinion is getting right on
these subjects No longer bankers, their attorneys,
and Wing officers impose upon an outraged people,
Their high handed measures can no longer be covered
up under The deceptive cloak Of Glove for the people,
and their cries Of 'hard money set up against every
honest Democrat, who dares expose their horrid crimes
and msdemeanors, will no longer hive It's effect in
ALARMING the inlid and buying the corrupt.

We shall have plenty more to record during the open

the crowd, whch had become by this time large, pre-
vented and rushed in, demanding redemption OF their
paper.
The persons in the Bank, fearing for their own per-
sonal safety, and finding il impossible TO withstand the
