important principles, and while thus engaged they
were set upon by brute force, and compelled to
leave tho ground, which was stained by the blood
Of brothers and friends. The flag of their coun-
try was torn overwhelmingly tramplcd in the
dust, and that glorious banner, which has waved
in trumphcd over many battle field consccra-
ted by tho best blood Of Americas purcst pa
triot5, desecrated by alien and murderous hands.
This believe to be a true statement of the on
set Was it right to submit to such an outra 90 !!
The law could not be put in force, and decisive
action was necessary. No man, whose heart
warmed patriot bosom. could be otherwise than
indignant. Was that Indignation the spirit of
mobocracy! Who would dare to thus charac-
torisc it +! No true American.
We the scene of conflict whom the
strengthened of Justice dealing rotrbu-
ton upon the heads Of those who had committed
this great outrage, and must confess that our
whole heart enlisted in behalf of those who
wero thus defending the rights of American citi-
zcns. They then had the sympathy Of all the
friends of liberty and of frccmcn's rights. But
when the object of the Native Americans mad
been attaincd-whon the minions of an unIloly
and foreign influence had been dispersed and tho
supremacy of tho RI gifts Of the people had been
maintaincd all unlawful acts should have ceased.
Then, and not till then, did tho spirit of the infil-
rated populacc become entitled to tho name of
mob and while the spirit of revenge alone was
gratiied, churches and houses burncd-private
property destroyed, and innocent persons forced

persons continued tho destruction of property
but we that tho Native Americans as {,
party were not concerned in it. Neither do wo
believe that either Of tho political parties, wing
or loco, woro engaged in tho transactions Of the
last few days of the riot though the spirit of To-
cofocoism was displayed throughout tho whole
affair. Time will yot DEvELoPE WHO 1T WAS.
We arc pleased to learn that the Native Amor
leans of the city Of New York have declined

thzo with the sufferers of tho first few davs of
tho riot, they will condemn those who carried on
tho destruction of property during Wednesday
and Thursday, and who still cndcavoring to
keep tho public mind fcrmentod.

city of Baltimore on Monday next. No attempt
will be made to display tho members of that BODY
say tho locos. We suppose not. Their process
sion would be something like n TyIor meeting
wc hoard OF. 1t was hold in tho opan air, con-
and boy sitting on the fence 1t is considered
by the locos, highly immoral and sinful for moro
than two or three to meet together, and MIGHTY
VULGAR to speak above whisper when thus as
somblcd. We suppose Mr.. Van Burcn will be
nominated. As man he is as good as any 9TH
or of their party. and as to his principles he is
ultra enough for tho most ultra Of tho loco school,
The Indiana delegation will probably vote for
Cass, unless Tyler should bring his official wand
to bear upon thom whom they will go for him.
0<-5-Tho post office in this place has become
under Mr.. Sloan, quito a political mart. Sundry
have been talked about there re-
comfy which would be we'll for those concerned
if confined within the walls but We arc MUM
now. 1t is but natural to men of easy virtue =
that tho hand which feeds them should seduco
them from the path of duty. The editor of tho
Icifersonian is the deputy postmaster, and re-
ccivcs his bread for his services. is il surprising
thon he should say: Il can stand Mr.. Tyler
very we'll - Not at all. 1t is merely an ex-
preston of gratitude, and men of PECULIAR tenn
poraments VERY GRATEFUL.
