but yet for officers of State importance Party ln
were distinctly and rigidy drawn. The Republicans

THE RIOT ON TIE BALTIMORE AND ONO RAIL
ROAD

We cut the following comments the lawless proceed
ings on the line of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad from
the Baltimore Sun Of yesterday morning:
"The desperate men engaged in this aggravated offence
against law and order have advanced to the full develop
ment of civil war They have banded against and at
tackled the corporate interests Of society anled and at
tempted to intercept the United States mail they have
plotted indscrimnate destruction by placing ohsrucons
on the road for the purpose OF throwing off running
trains; and in these offences they stand before society
criminals of the highest degree There is ground left
for sympathy liberation for the successful prosecu-
ton of offences like these is but 10 give encouragement to
all minor oenses and TO connve at the virtual dsorgan-
zntion Of society.
"Any form Of appeal, through the press or in any
other way TO the deudcd men engaged in this thing must
he manicstly hopeless. They have hurried 10 ex'
rcmity of violence which leaves no alternative but the
asoution suppression OF the state Of rebellion in which
they appear, by the strong of the law military, civil,
and judicial.
The public interest in this affair cannot we suppose,
be misapprchended A false sympathy from any cause,
with offences aud offenders such as these would he utter
y fatal to every good and legitimate public and private
interest II it could possibly be OF any avail Our whole
city must suffer- and none estimate 20 what extent
and how remotely If the parties engaged in the current
resistance to legal authority could accomplish their pur
poses by the to which they have resotcd IL de-
wolves, therefore, upon every true 10 scomtenance
by word and decd, and in every possible manner tho
lawlcssness of the day.
"lt will be seen that efficient have been
reotcd to for The purpose Of suppressng the rioters Inc
military force hereafter will be equal to the occasion and

prove sufficient for the arrest of goodly portion Of any
number of persons who may engage in any further out

sshese figures are OF themselves sufficient 10 show how
necessary and urgent IL Is that our merchant ihao
should be placed IN better condition to compete Win
the flags Of foreign countriesin our own ports
The best and only means to attain this desirable re-
suit would be to abolish or rather demolsh, the anti
quated system Of extra taxes aud dilerenal duties,
which, notwithstanding some few liberal modifca-
tions, still mderlies the groundwork of French com
mercial legislation, and which, 30 long rs it exists,
will provoke and justify retaliatory legislation on
the part Of other governments. The charge OF "a
cents ton on French vessels in the United States
ports is an example in point. Let France abolish
her tonnage duty of five francs (94 cents) per ton
on American vessels entering herports; the Presi-
dent of the United States will, as required by law,
Immediately direct the contervailing tonnage on
French vessels in our ports to be removed; the nav
CATION between the two countries at once becomes
free and an augmentation of French tonnage in the
direct trade will Immediately follow. Such would
also be the case in respect to other countries which
are forced to retaliate the restrictions and prohib
tons TO which their flags subject in tho ports of
France
We cannot better illustrate these remarks than by
referring to the navigation returns of the United
States and France for any one year. as we find them
set forth in the very lucid and welarranged reports
of the Treasury Department on commerce and navi-
CATION. Let take for example, tho last report for
1856:
Navigation Jeen France and he United States for 1856.

Can Frapee expect to compete with any foreign
country in the carrying trade, of her own prod
ucts, while her shortsighted navigation laws show
such results as the above ?-ED.
