put down the friends OF order and il possible, de-
ter them from the free exercise OF the elective
minority and no longer in possession OF the power
and patronage OF the government, have desperate
y resolved to resort to brute force, and win mat
view have hired every foreign and native scoundrei
to knock out the brains Of American citizens who
are peaceably but zeaousy using all constitutional
means to secure the triumph OF their political prin-
ciples.
On one side we have arrayed the offscourings and
outpourlngs Of European cities, jails and poor
houses, IN the employ OF an equally degraded and
unprincipled set OF men Of our own country, sus-
tanned by presses whose editors have ever been
hostile TO Republican Institutions; while on the
other, we have the quiet, peaceable inhabitants of
our city, who love their country and willing to
make every sacrifice to maintain peaceably its in
stutions and the principles upon which they are
based; but failing In this, are not unmlndful that
the blood which courses through their veins is the
blood OF 76, as ready now az then, to be split in
defence OF their principles and in teaching the
Swiss bands of their opponents that while peace is
their object and their desire, even peace is value
lers when purchased by sacrifice of their polltl-
cal rights. We say therefore, to the foreign min
ions and domestic bullies in the pay OF our oppo-
nents, and to their unprncipled masters, beware
how you attempt TO carry into execution the threats
OF violence in which you have foolishly indulged
The wings in future, meet with arms in their
possession and ready to repe any assilaats be they
who they may.-Corrier.
Policy, as well as pride, forbid If we yield an
inch to these convicts OF the Penitentlaries, who
have been let loose upon us, on the election day
they will stop up every ballot box in the city No
we will have another night procession. 1t shall be
peaceable one. Death to the man or men that
dare assai! it, This is whig policy, and whig prin-
ciples, and what the wings OF the city command.
II is the duty Of the city to have Police to protect
all parties, but long there is no such Police,
assailed party at all hazards must defend itself,
and show its ability and determination TO do il.
The way to have peace in this city on the day of
election, is to show the ability to enforce It. The
wings will have another night procession-and if
all Sing Sing is let loose upon us by the Regency
at Albany, net convict there will dare touch us.
Erwess.
SOME FACTS ABOUT THE ArFRAY OF THURSDAY
Misunderstanding in all the Whg papers deter
mination wholly TO misrepresent the facts connect
ed with the ARRAY on Thursday night between the
Wings and some other citizens, SO as to throw the
blame entirely upon the Democratic party, permit
me to give you few facts derived from my own
observation, for the correctness OF which am re-
sponsible, and which may help to place the matter
in its true light
After spending some time at the Whg meeting
in Canal street, walked down Centre street, met
the Empire Club coming up with banners, torches,
&c, and naturally enough turned about and ac-
companied them-not in their ranks, for have no
connection with the Club, but upon the sidewalk.
Arrived at Centre street, on the outskirts OF the
Whig meeting, | halted while the "Empires"
passed. undertake to say, that SO lar could OBJ
serve, they raised cheer, noise Of any kind,
beyond that which is usual with large body OF
men in political procession. The Wings, on the
contrary, received them with groans, hootngs,
hisses and offensive noises Of every description,
and closed In on the ranks OF the club In threat
ening manner. Then, and not until then, the De-
mocrats responded by cheering. friend who was
present informs us that he saw pieces OF wood,
coal and mortar, Qying round0 thrown at the
Club. This did not myself witness but | can
testify that the spirit OF the Wings generally was a
very bad one for while standing by was rudely
lostled by a respectable looking-at least well
dressed-young Whig, with, "Move on, what are
you stopping here tor I'VE don! want any Loco

Peaceably pursuing their route for the foot Of Ca
nal street, by way Of Grand street and Broadway,
the Empire Club in a few minutes arrived al the
intersection OF Canal street and Broadway. Hav-
ing reached this point soon as the first rank OF
the Club, and remained until the last had gotten by
into Canal street, was enabled to note pretty
much all that happened. | saw that though there
was an abundance OF room for, all parties to get
along comfortably, the Wings began 10 close in and
block up the whole breadth OF Broadway upon the
approach of the " Empires" while many among
them manifested very unequivocally, an Intention
Of contestlng the passage; as the Club advanced,
however, the crowd fell sulleny back, with
storm Of groans, &C., Gas in Centre street,) with
not few rather fierce execratons, for heard them
at my side. These cries were met by cheers for
"Polk and Dallas" hearty and good humored,
from the other side and the Democrats marched
clear through into Canal street, without any Sc
rious obstruction.
Here let me note an assertion twice or thrice re-
peated in the Express and IN other wing papers,
for aught know, and which, as it has TO my
own knowledge created much feeling among
portion OF the wings, am pleased to be able to
contradict, most distinctly. Oa the faith OF a
whig friend" the last mentioned print charges,

while passing into Canal street, the officers or
leaders Of the club cried out "Boys! show your
knives-shcw your knives!'-and points ostenta-
tiousy to this as an indication OF the
temper of the savage "Locofocos." Doubtless
this would be 50, had such cries or appeals been
uttered; but they were not. One OF the marshas
would cry jocosely, now and then, as he dressed"
the ranks marching past, Boys show your mettIe
and so on; but nothing which could be understood
to refer to "knives'' or violence OF any kind
About this ! am positive; tor, from my position,
must have heard such an exhortation, had ii been
uttered The "Whig frieRd," presume, never
heard Of the difference between the mettle" of
popular enthusiasm by which democracy triumphs,
and the "metal'' gold or steel, on which, unless
common fame is common liar, whiggery is apt
to depend for its victories AT all events, this is
the most charitable suppositon on which to ac-
count for his wholly unfounded and very mis-
chevoHs statements.
