THE WASHINGTON RIOT.

We had hoped, that the spirit of INSTRUMENTATION,
which was SO rampant and riotous in several rec
tions of the country, when Know. .No,hingism was
endeavoring to establish itset, had waped with the
falling fortunes Of swaggerDg SAM. Bat, as the
last shrtk OF the dying victim is the loudsst, and
most unearthly in it. sound with this gbortiva e-
fort of the enemies Of liberty and law; i: carries ts
characteristics to the grave, and turning 70 receive
its death blow brandishes its budgeous and essays
to accomplish by violence what it, principles anu
policy have proved utterly incompetent to attain.
The scenss enacted in Washington City on Mon.
day. were worthy the Parisan popuace in the midst
Of a revolution. Not only we're stones and clubs
employed but pistols and knives in the hands Of the
murderous mob, were brought into active use, and
with An effect that was visible in pools o! blood and
men manned and killed in the streets of the metropo
lis Of the United States.
The police of the city, judging from the accounts
that have reached US, did their duty bravoiy. But
they were overpowered by their assailants and the
Mayor of Washington, with commendabIe prompt.
ness, having formally requested the President To or
der out company of marines "A request with which
his exceency e1peditiously complied-the brass gun
was tsken aud the rioters routed but only after vol
ley of musket balls had bsen fired amongst them
II is due however TO the city of Washington, to say
that it seems the insiigators Of the riot were band
of "Plug Uglies from the disorderly city of Balti
timore. This explanation may exlenuate the offence
but it is far from being acceptable excuse for the
conduct Of those law breakers in Washington who
united with their confreres from Baltimore, and per
haps invited them over to participate in the election
riot.
The means employed for the suppression OF the
emeute were indispensable to the security OF persons
and property. And if there could be any objection
urged against the military proceedings, 1t would
be only regret that they did not 1re sooner and aim
more accurately, a. it s very sad to learn that, with
one or two exceptions, the persons who were shot
were peacesble citizens either passing by or quietly
looking on.
Reason and remonsirsnce are Lost upon such men.
And when engaged in their riotous reves the quicker
few are shot down. the better It Is Tor the safety OF
worthy and exemplary citizens

followers" are held up to the public gazs' to excite
the sympathies of the world against him and por-
trsyed as trophies Of Ill unholy ambition in the ma
rapder's march to reckless ruin. His abilities are
disparaged; his courage has been impugned oy the
implication that he has always CONSIDERABLY looked
TO his own personal safety amid the dangers to
which he and his adhercnts have been e1-

An incompetent intellect and the selfish instincts of
an imperious and contracted character. II may be
