COUNTER PROCLAMATION BY THE METRoPoLl

To Che Citizen: ct !Ns'o York:

New YORK, June l6, 1857.
The unusual excitement now prevailing in this q
~ and the appearance Of military force 10 ald III
the execution OF the law, make an exposition OF Inc
circumstances which have ied to sucn d e,a;e OF
things proper if not necessary. At about O'clock
a " his dav. a warrant was sent to this office by
the Recorder 10 be served upon Mr.. Fernando w ooo
Mayor of this city,l who with Others was chargeo
with melting riot
This warrant having been placed in the HANDS OF
officer Wsllinp for service, about two o'clock, r. NJ "
rec usitioa from the rccor1sr :cr hity uisn o
aid in the execution of the warraot which Mr. WOOD
refused 10 obey and which no had reslsted by i"rce
This reauistOn being, Of course, complied ~ith az
about 81 CLOCK l0tOrEndlOu sioSei'ou '"''
flee from the Recorder that the men placed at his
command had proved insufficient to serve the process
and while ascending the steps OF the City uaii had
been assaulted by an overpowerlng orce placed
to protec: Mr.. Wood against the service OF the war
rant, and claiming to be Municipal policemen. Inc
Recorder requested that as the civil force had proved
insufficient to serve this process, the military should
be called upon to protect them in the discharge oil
their duty, and to preserve the peace OF the CITY.
Upon repairing to the scene OF the rio', We tonnu
great concourssof psope, many of them in stae Oh
tumu!:uous excitement, and about five hundred men,
armed with clubs resist the service ct the process
upon Mr. Wood. Deeming that the peace OF the city,
the due service Of process issued from our courts o
law ana the projection of property required the
prop,est and most decided measures, we ut once e4-
ercised the power conferred upon US by law and is
sued an order TO Major General Sandiord to hold suit
ticent foroe in readiness to preserve the peace he
was 10 position TO comply with this order immedl
ately and did so. The Commissioner of Police have
now at their disposal force sufficient for that pur
pose. The city is quiet, and the Commissioners
are happy 10 state that hundreds OF substantial clt'
zsps have offered their services rs special policemen
A sufficient number of these have been accepted
Relying upon this indication of the feeling OF the
citizens of New York, the Commissioners have con-
dence in their ability to secure preservation OF Or
der aud the execution of the law.
