THE RICHMOND WHIG-DE BONNIE
VILE AND THE MOB

We see that the Wing of Wednesday publish
es our article on the subject of the late Warner
Mob, (it ought not To be called :. Richmond
mob'') entire, but takes the opportunity to pro-
nounce IL s. tissue of egregious MISREPRESENTATION
from A. to H." We shall not take the trouble
to go over the ground to prove the error of the
Wing, but will again refer the reader to the pro-
ceedIngs OF the public meeting held in Richmond,
which was copied from the Wing into The New
Era of Friday last. We told the tale as it was
told to us, and it is corroborated by the Wing
and most fully sustained by the citizens Of Rich
mOnd themselves i'll public meeting assembled
there we shall leave it, The Wing, however
asserts that there 90 was no assault upon De
Bonneville by DIR. Warner, OF any body else 5"
What constitutes an assault? De Bonneville
was rudely interrupted in his business with the
people of Richmond, by DR.. Warner-the Ladies
were ordered to leave The room, that the cries of
the heated and excited friends uf Dr. Warner
raised, of :" tar and feather him De BonnevlIel
and his abeuors"-" throw him in the river"-
" duck him." &c, might be carried into effect
but the story is thus told by the Wing itself. in
that paper of Friday, the oath ult., under the
tille Oh y CtdnOOydnce.
Son Friday and Saturday nights last, Pyofe.
sor DE Bonneville, the latest and the most pom
lar exhibitor of this legerdemain, was detected
and exposed IN this city, suppose mounte-
oank was never exposed before. and only ped
the Indignation and resentment of a most excited
meeting, by a rapid retreat to his Iodgngs, and
by the good fortune of having Madame De Bon
neville in company. We shall in day or two
lay detailed narrative of the circumstances be-
fore the people"
Now this statement of the assault by the Whir
is either true false and as it is corroborated nv
the proceedings of the public meeting we shall
believe it true in the main. The MEETING was
" excited, - but it was with Indignation at the nm
gentlemany attack made by Dr. Warner and his
myrmidons upon De Bonneville The above
statement shows conclusively, that De Bonneville
was only saved from personal injury by the
good fortune of having Madame De Bonneville in
company"-thus acknowledging that the presence
Of numerous ladies Of Richmond would not have
restrained the mobbers.
In our article which has fallen under the notice
of the Wing, we said not one word about Clair
yoyance, and consequently the assertion of that
paper stands by itself for what it is worth. We
know that both Mr.. and Mrs. De Bonneville feel
deeply grateful to the citizens of Richmond. for
their great patience, forbearance and liberalitv .
and take every opportunity TO express it.

is in the camp, we shall wait for It's development
before we attack it.

them at the expense of the country or sacrificing
our honest convictions AT the shrine of powers
or when 1t finds us failing support all the rights
OF our country against all foreign nations.-then
we hope the Fredericksburg Recorder will fur
nsh the wings with another chapter on So organs -
1t is not often that we seek the opportunity of con-
sultng the men in power. They have never ask
