which is I" to encourage and promote, among all
the native-born and descended of Cape Cod, tenn
perance, industry, sincerity, good humor, charity
the social affections, and generous sentiments"
For admission, no religious test is required, no
political creed demanded. Their first anniversary
was celebrated on the 18th of November last, in
honor of day of solemn and impressive character,
and well worthy of record-the day Of The adoption
Of the first scritea constitution among men, decreed
and signed on board the Mayhower," in the

pages containing the :" Constitution OF the Cape

"white flag of peace beneath which all parties
and combatants may gather in happy harmony"
in the Cape Cod Association, Mr.. Sumner offers
"1he Demon Of Political Strife: If it cannot be
exercised from public affairs let us at least pre-
vent the evil spirit from taking place ut the
family hearth, from entering the private circle,
or from troubling the charities of life."
One Of the regular toasts was
"THE Press Let but the press be suppressed,
and a host of evils will press upon us. The peo-
pie would be oppressed, their business depressed,
our seamen impressed, and our impression is, Cf
we may be allowed to express the opinion that
we should soon be ready to cry presto, change

Tho Riot nj Cleveland.

The riot at Cleveland, of which we gave brief
Geographic account in our paper of yesterday,
was caused by the discovery of portions of human
bodies in the cess-pool ofthe Homeopathic College,
which were identified by the friends of the dead.
This caused great exctement and, to satisfy
the public mind, committee of five citizens were
appointed to go through the building and examine
every part. At dark the crowd increased large
ly, and hundreds, with lanterns, bludgeons, &C.,
were congregated about the building. Every
door, from the first to the fourth story, was burst
in by the committee--the mob occupying the
stairs, passages, &C., awaiting their report. In
the dissectng room, situated in the cock-loft, the
committee found the bodies of man and woman,
partly dissected, and dry-goods box filled with
feet, heads, trunks and other portions of bodies.
One of the committee recognised the hands of
his own daughter, by unmistakable marks The
crowd then burst in and ransacked the rooms,
casting their contents from the windows. A full
length skeleton was dashed to a BARRIERS pole and
carried through the streets. The building was
twice fired, but extinguished by the authorities.
The Light Artillery and several military compa-
MES were called out and kept on guard, as well
as the civil authorities. The mob continued
about the building during the whole day, and
fears were entertained of renewal of the attack
at night The sheriff had called on all good
citizens to aid in quclling the riot
