THE SYRACUSE OUTRAGE.


This case continues to cause great excitement in
the State of New York. The Syracuse Star says
no similar occurrence ever will or can take place
there again, because stringent measures would
be taken to prevent mob violence sober reflection
would prevent repetition of the outrage, and the
punishment which must follow this atrocious con-
duet will efeciually check it hereafter. VANDEN-
BURGH, the abolition colonel who ordered the troops
TO dsband has come out with lame apology,
which has already in part been contradiced by The
company officers who were subject to his CON-
mand. The Mayor, WHEATON who was so inef-
ficient and negligent in the matter, is the Demo-
cratic candidate for Canal Commissioner of the
State. In reference to the arrest of the slave,
which caused the riot, the Star says: r7.a

The first accounts Of the insurrection that has
broken out in the Mexican States on our border led
to the belief that many American citizens had taken
an active part in it, and even that bodies Of men
were organizing within our limits for that purpose.
Under these circumstances, as we learn, it was
deemed prudent to direct our military commanders
on that frontier to exert themselves to prevent any
invasion by our citizens of the soil Of friendly
Republic. But, from more recent intelligence, il
would seem that this precaution, however proper,
was unnecessary, as it appears that very few Ame-
rican citizens took part in the nsurrecton, and ha,
it was planned and conducted almost exclusively
by citizens Of Mexico.

The Administration of President FILLMORE is
eminen1y popular with the masses every where
throughout the Union. The indications upon this
point are of The most conclusive character. The
present incumbent of the Executive chair has real
lied the warmest expectations of his friends and
the country. He has manifested fidelity as well
as frmness, and has shown himself true 10 the
Constitution and the Union. His Administration
thus far has, in great measure, been aultless, and
has extorted praise from many of the leaders Of
the opposition. The national honor has been sus-
tanned, the national character has been vndica4ed,
and the national prosperity has been promoted
Mr.. FILLMORE has shown himself President not Of
the North, or of the South, OF the East, or the
West, but of the whole Union. We cannot be sur
prsed, therefore, at the lively demonstrations Of
approval that are every where made in relation TO
his policy and his principles. In Pennsylvania
his course has been endorsed at almost every pub
lie meeting that has been held by the Wings since
the commencement Of the present campaign. He
is for the Union as il is, for the Compromise as it
is, and SO are the people at large by an overwhem-
ing majority Philadelphia Inquirer. a.sS

The reader of the present day, who sees what
railroad is, and what it accomplishes may readily
laugh at the above suggestions. Yet every discovery
Of the present day is met with objections equally
absurd; not that men ought to receive every thing
new as practicable and good, but they ought not to
oppose thing without proper examination. and,
because it is new, conceive it to be a humbug.
Careful and patient examination is necessary in
both cases, and, where such examination is made
for the purpose of discovering the truth alone, the
properly informed man is seldom mistaken in his
conclusions. Investigation establishes truth and
exposes error Philadelphia Ledger. ly sisg
