hdilrOdu EXCURSION. ~ Il
GOVERNOR MARcY.-The latest experiment
of the enemies of the Democracy is that of
spreading a report that Governor Marcy is
about to come out Black Republican, and
that there is nothing in his past career incon-
sistent with such a course. 1t is a portion of
the tactics Of political adversaries to assail,
in some form, those who stand deservedly high
in the Democratic ranks. Neither Jefferson
nor Jackson escaped such assaults. No more
effective mode Of injuring prominent Demo
crat can be invented than to create the impress
sion that he is strongly suspected of entertain
ing and respecting the opinions of their enc
mics. If the Democratic mind could be filed
with such suspicious, it would effectually blast
reputation. This effort, it seems, is now being
made, with the hope of prostrating one of our
most eminent men and reliable Democrats
Perhaps the circulators also hope to revive the
dropping spirits of their party by the SANDER.
Those who invented the fabrication, and those
who have given it currency, know that no man
is farther from sympathising with Black Re-
publicanism, than the late Secretary Of State.
From the day he first shouldered arms in the
war of 1872 and marched to the defence of his
country to the present, he has been as true to
Democratic principles as the needle to the pole.
| The man who wrested from the enemies of our
country the first flag captured in that war. will
never be seen arrayed under the standard of
those whose acts demonstrate dangerous hos
tihty to our institutions His attachment to the
principles of his party is strong and enduring.
The attempt to poison the minds of his friends
in relation to his political fidelity will signally
fail. Nor will it keep up the hopes of his polit-
ical adversaries, which are Frustrated below all
possibility of revival.
The LATE RIoTs.-Upon this subject the Bal
timore San of this morning says:
The late election riots at the national capital.
disgTaceful as they were in their character and
bloody in their consequences, will. there is some
| reason to hope. be fruitful of good results. With
scarcely an exception. the voice of the press is
universal in its stern denuncition of the outrages
| which led to the final terrible means for their
| suppression. And although the name Of our CITY
is distinctly associated with them, yet we find
generous discrimination, prompt to attach the
blame TO that class OF our population to which it
| unquestionably belongs. The lesson is severe
| one for us. 1t admonishes us OF the great danger
towhich our civil and social reputation is exposed,
| and the injury which may be inflicted upon our
| commercial prosperity, should we, a commu-
nifty, in any wise grow tolerant of such outrages
| or Oh those who commit them,
This thing has been sufficiently fragrant TO
challenge the attention of our municipal auhoTi-
ties. We are all assured that the official BODY in
| vested with the powers of city government in
| Baltimore, is well informed of the existence of
| organized bands Of young men and boys, ripe for
mischief and prone to violence of any sort and TO
any degree; The security of the public peace and
the prosperity of our city demands that there shall
| be degree OF vigilance and force exerted COM
| mensurate with this state of things, and ample
for the suppression Of any form OF disorder and
