Oft we except the Hibernia Greens
who, in obedience to impolitic orders
of NJ ajor Gen. Patterson, and in the
very face Of death, held possession of
the church until abandoned by their fell
lows, they were compelled to surrender
and retreat? The conflict was origi-
nally between the RESPECTABLE, quiet
and orderly portion of the "Natives"
and the riotous incendiaries who are
politically attached to that party
Since Sunday noon it has been alto
gether between the latter rioters and
the volunteer troops of horse and foot
between an organized and armed
body Of turbulent spirits, varying in
number at times from five to fifteen
hun dred individuals Of the most DIES
perate, determined and wicked charac-
ter, and from two to five hundred citi-
zen soldiery under the command of the
High Sheriff of the County, and Rob
ert Patterson, Major General of the
First Division, ?. M.
The first offence was taken by the.
Natives at the presence of State mus
kets pl aced in St. Philips Church for
its protection. The constitution, the
law, the decision Of our Courts, and
common sense itself, all dictate the
right Of citizen to arm themselves, and
provide for the security Of their prop
erty from the assaults Of a mob, by
preparations for defence. The act of
cling muskets in the Church, therefore,
though certainly indiscreet, was per-
fectly justifable under any cucum~
stances. and those "Natives" who
have made it the ground of offence,
and those organs Of misrule which are
seeking to countenance the resistance
Of the rioters to the authorities, by urging
1t as an apology for their conduct, have
placed themselves in a position Of aw-
full responsibility, and upon their heads
in the sight Of Heavef, viii rest the
bloodshed which has disgraced our city
and deluoed our streets.

THE MAN WHO PREFERS THE BALLAD TO THE
BALLOT.
About last nights noon, an indivld-
ual might be seen, and was by the
Waterman seen, vending his way up
St. Charles street. His course was
neither directly direct nor regularly IT,
regular, Itmight have been prepara-
tory practice of the new Polk dance, or
a succession of endeavors to kill cock
reaches creeping on the banquette.-
Now the Charles, who are all strict
constructlonists, and who enforce the
letter Of the municipal ordinances with
as much rigor and exactness as the
Modes and Persians did their laws,
never interfere with mans manner Of
walking, SO long as he is able to walk
at all; for our city lawgivers, with a
wisdom and iberality above all price
and beyond all praise, have left it to
every man to move along as best he
can, and have laid down no legal, de-
finite mode of locomotion. But al
though they have so ruled It with res
gard to mems walking, they are more
strict with reference to mems talking
after certain hour of night, whether
that talking be in tune or out of tune
a sermon or serenade-a political
| speech or temperance exhortation.-
1t was in the enforcement of this peace
preserving principle that the Waterman
atthe corner of Poydras and ST. Charles
streets, in tone of imperative official
authority, babe our hero "shut up!"
who had just then been singing a song
equal In metre and melody to any of our
modern political lyrics, the chorus of
which ran thus:
"Hurrah for the stripes md stars.
Hurrah for annexation,
| Hurrah for our Yankee tars.
And our universal nation''

Waterman. "There amt no two WAYS
about it-you must either shut UP your

that they are somebody; SO sing SMALL"
| "Charles," said the vocalist, looking
half vacantly, half scrutinizingly. into
the face of the Waterman, "Charles,
thou art awaking somnambulist, mo-
wing mass Of mindless matter. Thou
hast got speculation in thine eye, but
thou hast got no music in thy SOUL
Thou art impenetrable to the tones
that wake the thoughts TO tenderness

quently brings you within the act pro-
tecln' the citizens in the natural enjoy
ment of their sleep.''
1t was in vain that the singer told
the Waterman that he transcribed his
duty; that his was an unjust interfer-
ence with, and violation OF, the rights
Of a citizen the Waterman "toted''
him off to the calaboose.

the officer, with disturbing the peace
"Ihe Waterman is a songless, soul

disturbing the pease, sir; I was sing

essaying to revise and rekindle the
smouldering fire ofpatriotism, now al
most extinguished in the breasts of our
citizens. The time and the occasion
called for it. The moon had already
passed its meridian, and time, in its
unceasing travel, had reached the six
ty-eighth anniversary of our national
independence. Who, sir, would not

ONE OF THE WING CHANGES.

The long list of names which we
have been publishing of late, Of chan
ges from Wh;ggery to the cause of
Democracy, has terribly alarmed our
political opponents, and in order to
counterfeit the effect of these changes,
they have been putting forth the gros-
sesest receptions. We annex one OF
these attempts at deception, which is to

remarks, that he would have been willingly listened
10 for hours longer He discussed nearly every topic
now agiiaiing the public mind; and such was the
clcarncss Of his views and illustrations, that new

him before think this one of his ablcst efforts.
On tie same day it announced that Hon. A. =.

made fjrma proposition that tie Hon. gentlemen
should meet both parties, and dscuss the questions
