York journal affords the first ntimation that the
people OF the North themselves begin to appreciate
| the perils of their position Proceeding with the
subject, the Enquirer finds ample material in the
social system of the North from which to manufac-
ture anarchy and disorder. Their system of COM
mon schools, and the preponderanee of the urban

! among the sources of social weakness; while the
laboring population. instead OF constituting an ele.
ment of social stability and strength arethemseves
the most active agents of discomfort and dsorgan-
ization In the South the impulse of labor com
bines with the discerning instinct of intellect and
education in maintaining the supremacy of order;
in the North the proletare and the demagogue burn
with equal desire for change, excitement and
agitation.
Ia conclusion the Enquirer says:

The Wig devotes leader TO the late affair in
Boston. While it viii not cast odium upon the
whole city because of the disgraceful attempts of
comparative few to commit outrage, violence and
murder it is undeniable that the anaticsm of even
the best portion of the citizens of Boston in respect
to the question of slavery has tended immensely to
encourage the lawiess spirit of the mad cap aboli-
tionists and desperadoes with which the city
| abounds. Boston, continues the Wing, with all
its boasted reputation for firm and consistent devo-
ton to law, is in fact the head quarters of abolition
ianaticsm; and where such pestient heresy pre-
Vails we may be prepared at any moment to witness
scenes of violence and bloodshed 1t is therefore,
to the presence of this unscrupulous and wasting
fanatici:m, to the false teachings of many OF its
| most learned and distinguished men, that we are
compelled to attribute the late disgraceful riot and
Wing rejoices at the triumph of law under every
circumstance Itrejoices, however, over its recent
triumph in Boston, not because of its practical i'm.
portance to the owner of the fugitive slave, to
the South itself, but simply because the audacious
villainy of mob defeated. It is worth but
little to the South and no one here it is presumed
has much more confidence in the efficiency of the
Fugitive Slave Law source of protection to
Southern property than he had before.
