ASSAULT UPON A MAGIsTRATE--A party of
half grown youths "a part of gang who pride
themselves upon the soubriquet of Razors,) arm
ed with colts. were yesterday morning amusing
themselves in the First Ward in the attack of
every person who crossed their path. Their con-
duct finally became SO uproarious, that Squire
Drury, the Police Magistrate of the Ward, en-
deavored to arrest some of the ringleaders; and,
in SO doing, was attacked by them, and received
a severe blow from one of them with colt, which
felled him to the eartl, and the rioters then dis
persed Intelligence being communicated TO the
Third Ward Police Offices, officers Burr and
Dexter, with posse of citizens, went in pursuit.
who succeeded in the arrest of three of them,
who were committed to the county Jail to answer
to the charge at the Criminal Court.
Another one of the same gang was arrested
early yesterday morning by the Auxiliary Guard,
on indictments which have been pending against
him for some time; but who had heretofore
managed to elude the grasp of the law.
We trust that the police will continue this good
beginning until all these disorderly gangs (known
as Razors, Never sDeats, GumbaHs, and other
rowdy titles borrowed from neighboring city,)
are completely dsbanded and broken up.

The prospects Of the Wings never
were brighter. From every quarter of
the compass, the people are rising in
their majesty for Clay and their country.
The faint murmur which indicated the
uprising of the people, some weeks since,
has swelled to roar, and the stoutes:-
hearted OF our opponents, shrink appal-
led from the sound. From the iron bound
coasts Of Maine to the banks OF the Sd
bine-from the Atlantic to the Rocky
MounIains-from the frozen North to the
sunny South, the people are rising in
their might for Clay, Frelinghuysen and
the Union. The manufacturers of the
north, the planters of the south, the ira.
ders Of the east, the mechanics of the
West, are all rising for their true and
well.trled friend. Every mail brings
the news of hundreds OF accessions 10
our ranks. The people are coming, and
like the ocean in storm, will sweep
every ves'ige Of opposition from their
path.

THE GAME OF BRAG.--On the principle
that desperate diseases require despe
rate remedies" our good friends, the de-
mocra.s, commenced the brdg game, most
extensively. Their object in doing so, is
to prevent their party from entirely dis
banding by making the rank and file be-
lieve that everything is in most flourish.
ing condition. Therefore, in all the 10.
cofoco papers we find notices OF fictitious
changes from the whig TO the democratic
rankS--of bets which had been offered by
bold democrats which the frightened
wings dare not take up, &c. Some time
since, the editors Of the Free Trader, an
nounced with great flourish of trumpets,
thut Mr.. Joseph E. Davis, of Warren
county, had offered to bet five thousand
dollars on the election Of Mr.. Polk, and
lnstanced, as an omen Of defeat to the
Wings, the circumstance that none OF
them had accepted the banter--and their
Partisans, throughout the state spread the
matter far and wde-talked loud and
long that the Wings, "although they
would buster and talk, were afraid to bet
their money" NOsc, we see it stated in
the Natchez Courier, that Mr.. Davis has
said that he never offered to maks any
such bet. 1t is needless to add, that long
before this disayowa was made known,
five times the amount of money was ca
gerly offered on the election Of Harry of
he West.

Since Gov. Polk has come out in sup

It is as easy to obtain "bIood from a tur-

Tariff, opposed 10 Distribution, opposed to
Bank, and opposed to every thing else,
that the Wings advocated What they
were in favor OF, with the exception Of
annexation, could not be ascertained.--

principles, and now we would sooner UNI

and besides it is really provoking to have
to change ones order of battle. Instead Of
