adroitness, to pass his wife's maid servant through Ohio and Pennsylvania without be- ing molested by the Abolitionists. The girl, being very bright, was passed off as trdU- cling companion of the ladies; and occa- sionally occupied seat with them at the same table. She was treated with as much deference and politeness as the ladies them selves and when book or newspaper was rendered her by gentlemen as was frequent ly done-she would take it politely and hold 1t in an attitude of reading Thus she pass ed along without the slightest inconvenience.
 LAFAYETTE. THE WASHINGTON RIoTs-- THE OTH- ER SIDE.-The Washington Organ de- nounces the action of the Mayor of Washington, the President, and the commander of the United States Ma rines, and criticises their action on the occasion of the recent riot in very se- we're terms. The Organ says:
 That there was disturbance at the polls in the fourth ward is not denied. But 1t was not of so formidable char acter that it could not have been sup pressed in ten minutes by force of resolute and courageous policemen.- Unfortunately, the present police are notorious for their cowardiee and in- eficiency-and, on the occasion re- ferred to, manifested more than usual imbecility and weakness. They fled ingloriously from the field at an early stage of the disturbance, and ahan- doned the ground to the disturbers of the peace.
 The Mayor himself, we regret to state, was not in a condition either to inspire respect or command obedience to the laws. And, what is more, it is the belief of many who have the best opportunities of arriving at correct conclusions, that the ordering out of the marines was deliberately planned beforehand by the Mayor and Captain Tyler. who is himself resident of the fourth ward, and most bitter and malignant partizan of the locofoco school. In coroboration of this as- sertion, we will state that Edward F. Queen, renegade whig and Roman Catholic, declared on Friday or Sat urday that " the democrats intended to vote early, and that if the Ameri- cans got their votes in at all, 1t would be through a file of marines"
 After stating many other facts, the Organ concludes its article with the fol- lowing pertinent enquiry:
 Finally, if, as is asserted by the Government party, Americans were disturbers of the peace in the fourth ward, how does it appear that, ln he fusiHade cfhe Marines, democratS alone, O. chiety, acere Slain |?
