ABOLITION RIOT AND MURDER.

Every honest citizen of Boston must feel the deepest NOR
ticaon to reflect what happened in this city Fri
day night Another abolition mob the Courthouse
saulted and citizen stabbed to death in the exercise
his duty by Infatuated rabbe Of fanatics hot from the
seditious harangues of the abolition moboraors Wendell
Phillips Theodore Parker and the rest of that tribe of bed
lamites; the whole city thrown into alarm and excite
men the militia called out and the people of Boston again
subjected the disgrace Of riot and resistance to law
1t quite time for this community to do something
than lament these outrageshey ought be stopped
question arises Who the real authors Of this public
violence and MURDER The is plain They the
ncendary mob-oraors Of the FaneuHall meeting FRI
day evening" who openly proclaimed resistance to the law
and urged excited multitude TO the deed of violence
and blood that followed. These men know well enough
that the only effect Of their nammatory appeals to the
passions Of their hearers would be tuult and boodshed
and this just what they wanted though they took
to sneak out of the way at the moment of danger The
most arran potroons that the shone upon they
expend their strength in stirring up excitable multi
tude to deeds of midnight MURDER and leave the murder
blow to be struck by ruans who have courage
than themselves.
Are these cowardly villains go unpublished? Cannot
the law reach the orgnators and responsible authors of
crime they to get up mobs and murders
they to plunge this city deeper and deeper in disgrace
We desire to know whose life is safewha real security
have for the public peaceas long these things
the bottom of the whole mischie-men whom every
body knows frebrands and disurbers of the
public peace2o at large and permitted to collect the
awless sedous and dsorderly elements Of popua-
ton around the public buildings Of the city for the express
purpose of nsgatng them to deeds OF violence and out
rage The sanctuary of justice is violated by Infatuated
abbe who stab to death its defenders Every knows
who set on foot this outrageous proceedingwho 1t was
that counseed and encouraged the murderer to lift the
knife every knows who in fact the real crmi-
nails Cannot the hand of justice strike the culprts

answer TO this question
