The Ward observation-disclosures of the Van
BurenItes.

We yesterday gave a report OF The Ward Elections
Of Delegates TO the Tammany Hall Convention,
which showed clearly that Mr.. Van Bur III has gain
ed majority, which will secure Van Buren, CITY
Delegation 10 the Convention at Syracuse. The
working OF The same machinery will also give him

penenced In the arts by which elections are
aged devotedy attached TO him. That there were
symptoms OF formidable opposition is true but
such symptoms are a part OF the machinery by which
the business is managed. In the First Ward tive
Van Buren, tickets were rum In the Second Ward
the Calhoun ticket was made up OF Van Buren, men,
and the same course adopted elsewhere. In
some cases large deputations from the Custom House
were observed 10 be running what were styled Van
Buren, and single district tickets but the bare
ton OF these facts will be their own commentary.
The name Of Tyler was not once heard !; but Cass
and Calhoun had many friends and are evidently
rising in popular favor We repeat, however that
the management of these elections will give
Mr.. Van Buren the Safe noniaation, tu
II should not be concealed that there are serious de-
iectons from his party. II is seen Ia New York-iI

who desire new man, and yet in what position

or the party defeated Moral influ. nee the Ward
elections have notion the contrary, they bring our
institutions into such contempt will ere long lead
TO some radical change or universal corruption
but, nevertheless, they make the party nominations.
The Ward elections of delegates are usually at
tended only by few whose qualifications for the du-
ties which there devolve on them are mainly physi-
cal. How frequent is the spectacle of men laying

than brute force, 60 not at a-and hence the nomi-
nation of our prominent government officers is aban-

Bat with or without moral influence, Mr. Van
Buren, has carried the city, and the only alternative
OF the members Of the party will be to give him
their support, or TO throw the weight of their inAu

great opponent of their party AT present we hazard
no speculation OF the probable result in the National
Convention.

Brutal Outrage.
Convention.

Another of those disgraceful outrages which
show how little the laws, al present administered
IN this city, are to be depended on by peaceable
citizens for the protection of their lives took place
at the close OF the election in the Ninth Ward on
Thursday evening last
DIR. Houston went to Jefferson Hotel in order to
obtain the results of the election for publication
lnthe Herald. On reaching that place he found that
the ballot boxes had been carried away, by the
trends OF Van Buren,, and that meeting of other
voters was about to be organized. Immediately on
entering the place OF meeting, which filled by
tumultuous mob, he was pointed out amid torrent
of blasphemy, by a drunken vagabond named
Walsh, who called on some dozen or so of his rag
ged associates to expel DR.. H. from the room This
was instantly done with great violence, no effort
being made to save DR.. H from the mob, by
the chairman, Mr.. Suydam. Dr. Houston,
on reaching the street, ran considerable
distance, unable to find a single Waterman He
then relaxed his pace, hoping TO get into an omnibus
and escape unobserved He was disappointed, how.
ever, for dozen or more OF his brutal assaiants
came running up, and simultaneously assailed him.
He struggled against them for a few moments, and
warded of their blows with his cane, but was soon
overpowered, dragged to the middle of the street,

most savasely. His calls for aid brought two re-
spectacle citizens to rthe spot, and to their timely
assistance, Dr. Houston sscribes under Providence.

very seriously injured.
The only known cause for this brutal attack,
was DR.. Houston's refusal some time since 10 de.
grade himself by reporting the rbaldry and bias
phemy uttered by this fellow Walsh at some mob
meeting.
The rlngleaders being known, an effort will be
made to bring them to punishment S lch respecta-
bic persons as who witnessed the attack, are re-
quested TO contribute their aid by leaving their
names at this office.
The object of this murderous assault. however,
will for the future rely more the pIoec ion OF
his person, on the means of defence which sprro
pirate weapons prov de, than on the means afforded
by the authorities. If respectable cilizens can be
beaten within an inch of their LIVES at any hour in
our most public thoroughares without the slightest
hope Of assistance from means provided by law it is
certainly nothing less than suicidal folly which
prevents them from constantly carrying on their
persons the means Of their defence.
