Attack Upon a SOyEti,eFRer.

A correspondent of the Boston Post, writing
from Newport, r. l., on the 9th inst, gives the
following account of outrageous attack upon
Southern gentleman by the walters at the Ocean
House:
On Sunday at dinner, Mr. Yerger was helping
some lady friends to a dish, when a waiter at
tempted to take it from his hands, He very
promptly and properly raised his case-knite which
he held and struck the walters face. The wait
er was taken from the room and dinner Went on
as usual The next morning Mr.. Yerger went to
breakfast and being seated, discovered move
ment among the walters, and having armed nlm-
self in anticipation of an attack he prepared tor
self-defence. He held pistol in each hand, and
as the mob advanced he told them that he would
Kill the first man who came within five feet of
HIM. BY this threat believe his life was saved,
Tor none OF them dared to overstep the mark
The cry of "Southernersr was Immediately made,
whereupon Col. Christy, of Kentucky; Lieut.. Mel
son of the Navy; Mr.. Pollard, OF Alabama and
many other friends of DIr. Yerger, came to the
rescue. The mob was kept at bay by Yergers
pistols until he surrounded by his friends; he
was thus deprived of the use of his arms, and the
mob closed upon him. A pistol was wrenched
from his right hand, the guard tearing his finger
severely. The waiter who got possession OF the
pistol made several attempts to fire upon Mr..
lerger, but was prevented from fear OF killing
some one of his accompGces Mr.. Yerger was
. iio'h 'ne IcoH ny hls iiGnus " q ""'e, ahu
The walters were soon expelled by the remaining
Southerners. They gathered, however, in anoth-
Ser part of the house, and being in number abouta
hundred, created great CONSERVATION among the
ladies' Mr. Yerger compelled to leave the
place by advice of his friends about fifty OF whom
accompanied him. Many Southerners are still
preparing to leave. Mr.. Weaver did all he could
70 arrest the movement but being man of not
much decision, he of course failed. [ must say
mat II guests to be thus treated whilst visiting
newport for their health or pleasure, it would be
wise for them to remain at home. | understand
the mob have threatened the lives of Col. Christy
ana Lieut.. Nelson, who were warm personal
friends of Mr.. Yerger, and stood by him in the
ilidst of the difficulty. Several walters We're
SShocked down whilst attempting to follow Mr..
lerger to his room. Altogether we have had an
Exciting time-truly disgraceful and outrageous
upon the feelings of the visitors.

After the last Presidential canvass was over, at

Van Buren,-"who has been regarded as the CGur

fully, what we expect We expect to make the
Democratic pariyot this Statethe great ai Stacery
party of the United States. Those who do not con-
template this result will do well to get out OF the
way; for there is no doubt that, when our princi-
pies get fairly before the people, that they can
hear, and know what they are-ard We have
made arrangements for that now-that the whole
people will go with us. And our Southern friends
who have had things all their way for the last
twenty-five or thirty years. must make up their
minds to let as hare our orn ,cay, for a while,
