The daily union. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1845-1857, 1851-01-18

We extract from the Republic Of yesterday an account
of disgsacefu proceeding, the part OF few rowd
and yagabonds. which will be likely TO reflect on iA
character OF this city much undeserved odium. A CON
pany Of hremen from Philadelphia are on visi to
their brethren in this city; and although their con
duct and demeano have been highly creditable and geu
emanly here, they have been grossly insuted by few
malcontents who chose to take offence At fancs
slight from their fellow companies of this city. and VIA
no doubt treated them quite well as they merited VI.
feel much mortified and chsgrined at this outrage but vi.
have the consolation to know that il perpeaied BY
gang OF outlaws, number Of the ringleaders Of which
were arrested and will no doubt be severely punished
This city becoming theatre Of much awless violence
There is great fault somewhere. We do not pretend
fix the responsibility any But there is total
adequacy Of police force-here is = want Of energy md
OF efficient means 10 preserve order or to arrest crime
Congress the city authorities have much TO answer
for, and will have much more if this violence continues
We invite public attention to this subject and hope thos
who are to blame will be pointed out and exposed
