The RECENT TRAaEpY.-The country papers
in every direction are fAisd with the particulars
OF the recent tragedy at Stanwix Hall. Almost
every Journal that we have seen published out
Of New York, expresses the deepest indignation
at the ARRAY and the most frightful forebodings
for the future, from the excited state Of public
feeling in the metropolis.
1t is singular instance Of the inconsistency
of these journals that they denounce the New
York press for publishing the accounts Of this
affair-the graphic accounts Of the sceneswhich
transpired-the descriptions OF the actors in the
terrible tragedy-while they themselves give
long accounts, day after day, Of the same
scenes, the same details, the same characters
and the same incidents. They charge that the
New York press, by reporting daily the social
and political crime Of the city, give rise to such
tragedies as that which recently took place at
Stanwix Hall. Such statements are the most
absurd stuff. But for the New York press, and
the constant vigilance of its collaborators,
who keep strict watch over every de-
partment Of the government, we should have
no government, either criminal or civil, in this
great metropolis We have corporation,
Mayor, (and very efficient one,) and num-
Der Of other officers, more or less qualified for
the posts which they occupy but, were it not
for the never-tiring and never ceasing vigil
lance of the New York press, we should be
without any government, unless military
despotism was established. The evils Of our
social system and they are great-have been
created by the corrupt manGuvres of political
managers of all parties and, had it not been
for the independence, the enterprise, the ener-
gy, the purity, the activity, and the high tone
Of the New York press, the effects Of these
evils would have caused our streets to be over
flowed with blood, and our city to be filled
with the blaze Of CONGREGATIONS.
The recent tragedy is the natural result OF
the corruptions which have been practised in
city politics, and which have become SO wide
spread as to threaten the lasting debasement of
the republic. The display attendant upon the
recent obsequies, which has justly excited 80
much indignation throughout the country, is
part and parcel of the results of the same sys-
tenn of corruption, and of the ful6lment Of the
same destiny.
The New York press is the only conservator
of the public morals, and it is at this moment
engaged in great political, social and moral
revolution. The press has commenced this re-
