Nov. although the journals Of New York have
taken occasion TO vilhfy the Southern city Of New
Orleans on account OF the recent violent proceedings
Of The defdnct Vigilance Committee-have embraced
The opportunity to hold us up in the most odious
Light before the puhlc--have declared that nothing
better could be expected from such metropolis
have sandered u.s. misrepresented US, and have told
the most fearful tales about u.s. in which there was
not one part Of truth TO ninetynne parts Of false
hood land some Of them have gone 80 far as to init
mate that all was owing to the existence OF the
awfully wicked peculiar institution we must
domost Of them the justice to say that they owned
upon, deprecated and denounced the movement. and
declared that 1t must be fraught with evil results,
whether It succeeded or failed Thus much we feel
bound as lovers Of truth and justice to say in behalf
OF our New York contemporaries; and we may go
Northern contemporaries.
STILL do not believe their course was founded
much in COMMUNICATION for us, or the disasters we
were likely to be subjected to. as ii was in fear for
themselves apprehension that the example might
spread, and that their own cities might become
scenes Of confusion, violence and anarchy, in which
neither person, property. rights of any kind
matter how private and sacred would be respected by
t1.n Vo d, fl.afr
tensions. for they have reason on which to base
them. Their population is ten fold more excitahle,
inlammatory and incendiary than ours and there is
not, on the other hand, tenth part Of the incentive
in their masses to keep the peace and obey the laws
With them, vast wealth and squalid poverty exist
side by side. Not so with us. with them, under
their grinding body and soul enhralling system Of
labor the few have concentrated all the property and
capital Of the country in their own hands, which they
use exclusively for their own ACKNOWLEDGEMENT, and
just in the proportion that they aggrandze them
selves the workers and operatives laden with more
burthens, and become more and more impoverished
and wretched. The very reverse is the case with u.s.
or the six or seven hundred thousand human beings
who reside in New York, probably not one in hun
dred possesses the smallest pecunary interest in real
estate or any other description Of property. The
city might sink, and ninety,nine out Of every hun
bred would not lose anything if they could only get
away before the happening Of the catastrophe. with
