deafening shouts and confusion. NJ. ..
Here the pieethg adjourned, when the Ben
tonites made an effort 10 organize but they found
Ge tables completely turned uron them. FL
ndly, the matter ended in free fight. A trans
par2ney was brought in, bearings motto of the
Ben0hhes, and an attempt mado to carry it to
abe sTcaker's stand. This soon became a bone
of contention the Antics made rush at it and
tore it pieces. Mr.. Kayser, one of Bemoh's

the Antics would not Let him enjoy this
equivccal 6ud of triumph; they hauled lin
down, and when he again made llis appearance
he looked as if he Lad been through the Flint
Mill
The whole scene was rich and spicy in the
extreme, and is . burning disgrace to the city
OF 81. 5Louis, and 10 Tic Bontonitcs in particular

late hour in the night, . .T
These scenes. csnnet bat excite painful ap
professions in the mind OF every friend of hi
country. VIKINGS have come to aspretty pass
when d meeting of intelligent aud respectable
American citizens cannot assemble FOR Lawful
and peaceable object, witl.eSt having their de
liberation broken up by parcel of foreigner
(who. perhaps have fed from tyranny at home
led on and instgatcd by the very lowest grad
OF political donagogues. These foreigners ar
not half so much 10 blame as the men who III
cite them to such deeds Of lawlessncss.
y, The Democrats are now rcaping some of tn
harvest efztheir own sowing. Ii has been BIT
a few years that the Democratic party wer
encouraging the NATURALIZATION of these sam
foreigners, and by their acts giving them a pc
litcal importance TO witch they were neve
entitled By any intelligence they possessed, G
their knowledge OF the genius of our institutions
The Bcntonites have now seizel upon them
and use them for a party object-the day ma
come when the engine they now use may
turned against themselves, 1t shows the foil
of any party attempting to gain temporNr
party victory by means that may inilict a seriot
injury upon the country. The immense horde
ofsToreigners dat are now nocking TO oil
shores ma, be made powerful auxiliary to an
party that is demagogical enough tOsecure ther
but what tremendous engine for mischie
when they become. powerful by organization
They have just escaped from tyranny at HON
and as the human mind is prone fly from oil
extreme 10 the other, they throw off all restrain
Their only idea Of liberty is perfect awlcs
1t also shows another thing, and that is ii
,our, sympalhies are thrown away upon the
foreign political. refugees. The only kind
government for, which they are adapted is {
iron rule of Austria and Russia. Men "
cannot govern themselves cannot be entrust
safely with poliioahpower. @ 49,. .. o..
