RowDYIsM AT HoBoKEN.-R owdyism has within
our knowledge regned more or less at Hoboken.
The rowdles are New Workers, who Imagine they
can commit crime with even more IMMUNITY out OF
the city than IN It. II IS OF no use Disgusting the
fact, that Lumber OF respectable persons Will not
cross over to Hoboken tor fear OF being molested
there or nsuted on board the ferry boats. The
question Is, how is this rowdysm 10 be suppressed!
In the hrst place, It Is necessary 10 have police
officer AT the ferries board the boats; and II Is
also necessary Tor every person insued 10 take The
requisite steps to punish the offenders. II only re-
CURES that few OF the choice splits, mostly beard
less boys, whose manllness consists In insulting wo-
men and children, and IN pouring beasiy and bias
phemous language into pure ears, and, under the
accused spirit OF rum, intcilng personal violence
upon those whom they think weak, should be made
to suffer II.
Three such characters were over at Hoboken last
Monday. Their conduct there, we learn from
respectable witnesses, was outrageous. Their con-
duct on board the boat was equally SO, tor we wilt
messed II, and endedvored, with other gentlemen, 10
reason them into something like d.cency and So
briefly OF behavior. The consequence was pre-.
medItated assault upon the gentlemen in Barclay
street This outrage placed the rngleader in the
watch house. lie was committed TO prison on
charge OF assault aud is baled out for The present
The matter will not res, here. There are from ten
10 dozen spectators OF the ALTAR who are deter
mined TO have the questioned tested, whether row.
dies act like beasts and brutes with IMMUNITY.
II the law will not reach them, then Mr.. Stevens
beautiful eysinm will be deserted, or else It's vlsi-
tors will have TO 60 armed to protect themselves
from assault. We think, however, that # all per-
sons outraged will take the trouble TO prosecute,
rowdyism will be in short time extinct at Hobo
KEN The present rowdles will 60 there, but, being
there they will have to behave with decency. A

lous that the fear Of such characters should deter
females from visiting 80 lovely place, but II is so

ing particulars OF brutal outrage committed on o
young, inexperienced and detenceless girl by b

the city from Montreal early in June. The tamll,

On the evening OF the 4 h OF July the two went
to Castle Garden to witness the exhibition I'll fire

go into ls room, stating that ne had some tne
figs, OF which he wished her TO partake Suspect

The villain then began TO take liberties with her,
and finally without any resistance en- her part, Ion
The poor girl was incapable OF resistance, accom-.

she was taken with violent spasms, vomiting, NC
Alarmed, she told her mother OF the OF the
preceding night. A physician was sent Tor, who
on learning the circumstances, asked II any Ut the
| figs remained. The mother went TO the room o
| the young man, and found on the mantelpiece Sc
veral, which she gave TO the physician. On exa
mutation, II was ascertainsd that every one ii III,
/ figs contained Spanish flies, which, our reader
probably know, possess highly stimulating quail

charged with his ylllany, by the almost heai
broken father, evinced the utmost etfrontery, anc

that legal proceedings We're about to be commenced

take cognZance OF this foul outrage, we trust tina
the wretch will be made to feel It's full ven
geance.

| TYLER MEKTrNa.-There was very respectable
meeting last wee X, at the Apollo, IN point OF NUN
beers aud proceeding, and mass meeting IS TO come
| OIL during the present week. There are two dis
| tinct set OF men claiming TO belong 10 the Tyler
party, that band OF reacherous, advenurers calico
| he Conservatives, who have sold Tyler TO the
| Wing party, and are fierce in their determination
o run him as a candidate, IN order 10 defeat the
| Democracy, and thus clam the reward and d
| large body Of Democrats who, feeling that great
Injustice has been done To his administration, are
also determined to support him, but are willing 10
ADOPT the union ticket, and thus by giving HIM a
| chance before the people, prevent any ultimate
danger to Polk and Dallas. An act Of duty as well
/ as policy remains To be discharged by the Demo-
cratic party and that is, To do justice To the adml
nistratlon Of John Tyler by officially approving his
| cts and endorsing his administration. This is not
the time for petty reese utmen s; too many Demo
Gratis have been unceremonously drawn from the
| ranks by the power; defeat has followed; defeat
viii again follow. John Tyler says, . have al
ways belonged TO the old republican school" No
man, we say, in the Democratic party, has right
cose the door upon him. but II is tie duty OF the
General Committee TO say 10 HIM IN efit CT, "we

approve the cardinal measures OF your adninlstra-
