well may starte us. That an attack so murder
Gus should be planned beforehand and as deliber-
atey executed, is enough TO appa those who look for
other protection than that of their own right
hands When the motive that prompted this
assault is also known, what shall the citizens
of Baltimore answer to our calm complaint?
We have been no careless sanderers of
private character, nor have we recklessly in
truded upon the business or domestic lives of
men. We have held up the actions of public Of
ficers to public view, that the people who have
made them might look upon their handiwork and
pronounce if it was good. We have not hesitated
TO point out the increase of crime and to illustrate
it by examples from the official records that are
open to the inspection of all. We have spoken
the truth as we have honestly believed it. Of the
results that have so far followed upon such course
our fellow citizens have been the silent witnesses;
and now we call for Judgment Let no one
think we overrate own Importance or
the value of our labors. Content to accept,
as we may deserve it, our little need of
praise or censure, we claim only that support
and countenance which society is bound to accord
to the humblest of its injured members If imam
NS~S
rightly constituted if the individuals who compose
it, walk coldly on diligent only in their own
affairs, and careless altogether of the wrongs that
are hourly falling upon their neghbors Without
the exercise of higher duties the social tie is worse
than useless. 1t will not do to leave distressing
evils TO be dealt with only by existing laws, even
where those are fairly and firmly enforced Unless
a right-mnded public opinion is formed, and fear
lessly expressed, the statute law becomes but as
hnger-post to point the way, instead of the living
arm that should guard it. The apathy of our people
is the primary cause why outlawry, unchecked, ex-
ercises its vocation amongst us. Men continually
admit that the state of things here is bad one
and they bewail it, and leave all action to other
people. Day by day do the residents of some sec
tons of our city 60 about their work, submissive
to ruffianism they are powerless to resist. The
poor, the riendless and the weak stand in need Of
that assistance which the strong voice of the pub
lie can invoke. They ask protection against those
habitual violators of the peace who have over and
| over again been grasped by the power of the law,
and then gently counseled to 90 and sin no more
Will two hundred thousand civilized people still
stand lisess while the lawesS few thus lord it over
them? We have asked this question many times,
already and it is less for ourselves than others
that we reierate it. The voice of this people can
command obedience to the insulted laws Will it
be uplifted, or only with bated breath, y hope on
for something better? We shall soon see Mean
time we recognize the path of duty which lies
straight before us, and in so far pursue that
with fearlessness and honor, we shall look for the
approval of the community, as, in some measure,

usual supercilious way-but will furnish his Com
missioner with those credentials which Lord
ELGN, and Baron GRos, demand shall be ex-
changed. Count PUTIATIN, and Mr.. Commission
er REED are disposed to waive this ceremonial
and to open negotiations with the first respectable
Chinaman that announces himself as empowered
to treat; but as these two gentlemen are professed-
~ neutrals it is more than probable that the Eng
lish and French Ambassadors will insist upon the
observance of all the fornalties which are custo-
mary on such occasions. That they will carry
their point eventually we have not the least doubt
but whether any treaty stpuations can be made
binding upon such people is question that the
future alone determine.
