Jcmmie, Billy, and Charley, started with

Messvs. Ednors:-When man or set
of men, 80 far forget that duty which they
owe their fellows and society, and the
obligations which they are under as Amer
lean citizens to their country-as to en-
gage in an iniquitous and unholy avoca-
ton. in direct opposition to the expressed
will of majority Of the community in
which they live; and with utter contempt,
bidding defiance, TO plain and unmistake-
able laws, which they hold in derision.
and violate with impunity; regardless OF
the misery and suffering which they there
by entail upon society. We say that
when such is tho case. such persons
should be held up 10 public gaze. and re-
ceive Gas they so deservedly merit) the
condemnation Of all good citizens.
The object Of this communication is.
TO call the attention Of the citizens of our
town to the fact that there has been recent
ly established in tho very heart of our
city. and contrary to existing and well
known laws. one Of those sink holes OF
pollution. "A slaughter pen Of humani-
ty.' From whence issues forth an infiu-
ence. more whitening and bligh,ing in its
effects, than the simeon blasts Of the des-
ert. A place where the death dealing
draught 10 served out, and where the youth
Of our place are allured from the path OF
rectitude and virtue and hurried to de-
siruction.
God knows, our city was already suffi-
ciently scourged with too many OF these
unlawful ''hell.holes." But when we see
strangers coming into our midst. and es.
tablishing wha, they call a respectable
grocery. God save the markD in direct
opposition to known laws. to which all
honorable men and good citizens yield a
cheerful obedience. When such is the
fact. We start back Mortified and appalled,.
Ut the audaeity Of such . course. And
with uplifted arms implore the vengeance
Of Heaven to arrest the tide Of destruc.
ton, e'er il bursts over all restraints, and
dsluges our city in one common sea Of
wretchedness.
Already the cries Of the suffering and
innocent ascend to heaven. from the a.
bodies Of those who were once happy and
comfortable. but who are now wretched
and miserable. sinking under the effects
Of hope deferred and prospects blighted.
The cause Of which may be traced to the
frame Of the rumssller.

AMIN BEY AND MS SrITE.-ATassachUsetts has
received the representative of Abdul Medjid, the
Sultan of Turkey, with every mark of respect and
attention. He has visited all the principal estab-
lshmens of the eastern part of that State, and his
visit to Lowell was much relished. The sight of
so many intelligent girls, reared in the arts OF
industry and conientment, was one that interested
him deeply, while the manufacturing establish
ments, with their vast machinery, opened his eyes
to the wonderful progress of this country, after
only seventy years Of experiment.
Amin Bty and his suite will return to New York
in the course Of the season, perhaps at an early
day and he will have opportunities then OF ex.
aiming our great establishments for the msnufdc-
ture Of the various articles Of commerce. He has
only seen, yet, small portion Of the enterprise
Of this great metropolis.
