that now falls to our lot We are also informed that
police force Of dozen men at the Court House rt
the time of the disturbance would have prevented
the assault; and there is no doubling the moral
effect the appearance If the citys off ers at such
crisis would haye.had upon the savage mob, giving
TIE lie, as il would have done, to the assertion OF
the abolition fanatics that the laws Of the United
States would not be sustained by the government of
Boston.
To the troops who obeyed the call when It was
made and t. the citizens who volunteered to assist
the United States Marshal in any emergency-to the
Marshal himself, and to his regular assstants-are
the thanks Of the community due for the zeal they
have manifested IN maintaining the supremacy of
lie laws. Mr.. Taylor, Chief of Police, and Mr.. Ham,
hs assistant, with the force under their command
are also entitled to praise for their assiduty and
energy after they received orders to act.
The United States forces under COL Delaney,
Major s. G. Ridgeley, Capt. Rich, Lieuts. G. Il. VIII
cox, G. A. Mack, Henry w. Queen, and A. NJ Bal
ser, have been on duty since Friday night The o
officers deserve every credit for the prompt manner
IN which they answered the summons Of the United
States Marshal and the efficiency their troops have
exhibited.
We trust it may be long time ere the city Of Bos
ton is disgraced by the deeds of violence, and law
lcssness al blodshed Of Friday night last.
We trust the Congress Of the United States will
take prompt measures to restore, as far as may be
in the power Of anything earthly the sad visitation
that has fallen upon the widow Of the slaughtered
Bachelor.

ABOLITION RIOT AND MURDER.
Every honest citizen of Boston must feel the
deepest modification to reflect on what happened
in this city on Friday night. Another abolition
mol the Court House assaulted and citizen stab
bed to death in the exercise Of his duty by an In
fnriated nbblc of fanatics hot from the seditious
baraneues Of the abolition moborators, Wendell
Phillips Theodore Parker and the rest Of that tribe
Of bedsmites! The whole city thrown into alarm
and excitement, the militia called out, and the PEG
pie OF Boston again subjected TO the disgrace Of riot
and resistance to law.
tits quite time for this community to do some
thing more than lament over these outrages-they
ought to be stopped at once, and their authors pu
ished as they deserve. The question arises-Who
are the real authors Of this public violence and
murder The answer is plain-they are the ince n
diary moborators Of the Faneul Hall meeting on
Friday evening, who openly proclaimed resistance
to the law, and urged on an excited multitude to
the deed ofviolence and blood that followed. These
men know well enough that the only effect IL their
infiammatory appeals to the passions Of their
hearers would be tumult and bloodshed and this was
just what they wanted, though they took care to
sneak out OF the way ~ the moment OF danger. The
most arant roltroons that the sun shone upon,
they extend their strength in stirring up an cx-
table multitude TO deeds Of midnight murder, and
