The Erie Riots.

of the recent outrages committed in
Erie, thus speaks Of the conduct of
the Quaker City:
The Philadelphia papers are or
pretend to be very much surprised
that the people Of their city are re-
garded out here in the West as at all
responsible for the Erie riots. There
is no doubt that the people Of Phila-
delphia are justly responsible for
those riots in a very great degree. =
We have not the least idea that the
Erie miscreants, without direct en-
couragement from Philadelphia,
would have thought Of making such
open warfare as they have made up
on all law and authority. All the
newspapers of Philadelphia, far from
condemning the conduct Of the mob
bers, have sided with them and apollo
gized for them, and a public meeting
10 that city has also undertaken to
give them aid and countenahce
Philadelphia, b yond all question,
is chargeable with doing all in her
power, from motives of low selfish
ness, to throw obstacles in the way
of travel and transportation between
the East and the West upon the
Lake Shore railroad. She has lost
more character in the West by her
disgraceful course in this matter than
she can recover in ten years of de-
cent behaviour, Western business
men understand her Thoroughly
They will have nothing to ID with
city, that, from motives Of avarice, ;
encourages such atroclous ruffianism
as now holds sway at Erie.
The Cleaveland Phindealer says;
A most internal outrage has just
been committed in Erie which
transcends all the past yilllanies Of
that infamous city.
About ten o'clock this morning,
fifty men disguised IN wOnien' S clOthFs,
assembled at the Front street bridge
and commenced tearing it dowa. A
miscellaneous rabble Of more than
two hundred citizens, stood BY and
cheered on the ruflians. An unof-
Tending young man, Thos. Walker,
son of John Ii. Walker, Zone Of the
directors Of the road was peacefully
looking on ut the time, when he was
set upon by the scoundrels, rotten
egged, stoned, kicked and beaten.
His life is despaired Of The rioters
pretended to regard him rs SPY.
A gentleman who passed through
