Outrageous Assault.
4 most brutal and outrageous assault was made
last evening by Loeo-Foco named Hoffman and
nearly dozen Others, known to be strong Loco
Focos. upon a Temperance Society while holding
meeting at the corner of Eighth Avenue and
Thirty. Sixth street Several persons, and among
them women and children. were most cruelty
beaten with clubs, chairs, &c. The Watch and
Alderman of the Sixteenth Ward were on the
Ground, and committed several of the outrageous
scoundrels to prison.
u Friends of HENRY CLAY. will you
not realize that WIG TRIUMPH in our City now
is worth erery thing TO the cause Of the Patriot
and Statesman of the West What shout
would revcrberate from Louisville to Lexslngton,
awakening the cheerful echoes of Ashland! a
Wing Victory here will electrify the friends OF
Harry CLAY from Eastport to Galena. Who
will call himself friend of Henry Clay, and yet
refuse to give one hour to-day to secure the sue
cess of his ardent friend and able, unwaverlng sup
porter in the Harrisburg Convention, ROBERT
SMITH? lie, no sluggard who sinks from
HENRY CLAY.
q REMEMBER, that last Spring eighty prisoners
were let off of Blackwcll's Island the night before
Election by Loco Foco Officers, and brought down
to this city to vote, and they did vote IN the
closest Wards, electing one Loco-Foco Alderman,
and probably more. The City has spent some
thousands of dollars in trying to bring the perpe-
traitors of this Infamous outrage on the Right OF
Suffrage to Justice, but every effort has been BAT
fed by rascalIy ingenuity and hard swearing !
and the cost counts as so much Wing expendi-
ture in lS42. And the authors Of this outrage
are now crying Pipe-layers! Pipe-laycrs to di-
rect public attention from fresi rascalites Charge
home upon them at the Polls
