hiot is the legitimate offspring of
riot, and when any community once

at an end, and the life and liberty Of
The best citizen is placed on an equal
ty with the common ruf1ian in such
State. There is no security against
the attacts Of the lawless mob, and the
midnight assassin. The fact, that it is
difficult in riot to ascertain who is
guilty. and that consequently many
culprits 60 "unwhipped of Justice"
is the reason why this means is sought
by desreradoes to reak their vengence
The law maxim should be revised.

to a certain extent guilty, aud it were

are no circumstances whatever, to

GF-lt is really refreshing to sec
such courtesy and gantlenanly feeling

Yes, it is refreshing 1t is like a
glimmer of sunshine, after long Sc
ries Of mustv clouds. or like clouds
after burning sunshine It is like a
refreshing iulip on a sultry summers
day. or like hot whisky punch in
winter. II is like the "panorama
of Creation" when the audience have
been satiated with "Mr. Chaos" and
the man having said act there be
light" the talow candles are uncover
ed, It is like what? Why any thing
else that is refreshing. But is it not
refreshing to the distant observer. to
see the lion and the lamb. after they
have been lleing together, start up and
prick back like "cats enraged?" We
think SO. Upon the same principal Mr..

Nesliag.
