The following appeared this morning:
The citizens Of New Orleans, after years
of discord, outrage, and unchecked assas-
sinatlon, unable and unwilling either tc
bow down in unresisting submission 10 a
set of rufians, or to abandon the city in
which their business, their social sympa-
thies and affections cluster. have at length
risen in their might, and have quietly taken
possession of the Arsenal buildings IN
Jackson Square, and have established The
headquarters Of the Vigilance Committee,
pledging each 10 the other to maintain the
rights inviolable of every peacabls and law
abiding citizen, restore public order, abate
crime, and expel or punish, as they may de-
termine, such notorious ruffians and assas-
sins as the arm of the law has, either from
the infidelity of its public servants or the
inefficiency of the laws themselves, left
unwhipped of justice.
For the present the ordinary machinery
Of police justice is superseded, the Mayor
and The Recorders, we understand, yielding
the power, they confess inability to exer-
else for the preservation of the public
peace, and the preservation Of property,
and the Vigilance Committee will there
fore Professionally act in their stead, ad-
ministering TO each and every malefactor
the punishment due 10 his crimes without
heat, prejudice or political bias. All citi-
zens who have sympathies with this move
ment, and who think the time has come
when New Orleans shall be preserved like
all other we'll ordered and civilized COM
munities, will report themselves without
delay at the principal Office, where the
character of this movement will be explain
ed, and the determination Of the people
more fully made known.
All has been done noiselcssly thus far,
and all will continue noiselessly, dispassion-
ately and justly, but the rufans who have
dyed cur streets in the gore Of unoffending
citizens, and spread terror among the
peaceable, orderly and well-disposed, must
leave or perish, (SiensG,)
