vored to produce the impression that the
riots in Baltimore on the election day,
and the numerous subsequent manifcs-

American rule in that city. The ssKnow

constantly arraigned for every breach of
the peace and the quiet and order loving
part of the citizens have been implored
to take their position against the party
now dominent there.
The American press has denied these
imputations and brought facts to prove
them unfeunded and false, but they have
been repeated with the greater audacity,
until, at length an affair has happened to
shut the mouth Of The Argus and its aG-r
