there, and apparently as bold as ever
On Saturday last, in mid, day and on the
public street, (says the Republican, } a
stranger was followed by gang of arm
ed rufians, knocked down, and his face
horribly slashed and disfgurod by their
murderous knives. Leaving their victim
inscnsble in the gutter, the rufians qui-
city walked off, undisturbed by police or
citizens, Of whom numbers were present.
This act, as stated above, occurred at
MONDAY. On Friday night, in front of
some of the redezvous of the Know no
thing clubs, there were tumultuous as
semblages Of persons, and amid the noise
and confusion of tongues. and the firing
of pistols, an eHigy, intended represent
Gov. Hicks, was paraded out amid the
cxecrations of his former friends, hanged
and burned in the streets We do not
learn that there were any arrests or any
sort Of interference with this harmless
amusement at either place.
AREIyAL OF TIE New BmlIsu MINIS
TER.-Lorl Lyons, the new British
Minister, arrived in Washington on Fri
day last from Annapolis, accompanied by
Lord Napier, and took lodgings at Will
lard's Hotel. lie was conveyed to An
napolis in the British frigate Curacao,
whose long passage from England (of
some forty-four days, we believo) excited
approhcnsions for her safety which are
thus happily relieved
DESPERATION in the face of the re-
solutions of the Know-nothing State
Council, urging most strenuously hear
ty coalition with ''W HE clements Of op-
position to the Democracy" some Of tie
reckless and unscrupulous leaders of that
/ faction have the hardihood to declare that
the Know-nothing party is the only par
/ " opposed to aboitionism and that
/ they are going to unite with Seward and
Greedy and Bolts and his free negroes to
put down that hercsy. If anybody can
believe that Seward and Greedy are not
abolItlonsts and enemies of the constitu-
ton and the Union, then they can believe
/ that Mr. Ricaud and the I\now-nothinc
State Council Of Maryland, who recon-
mcnded a union with them, arc not .-
But if there be any truth in the long re-
ccived adagc. SHOW me who YOU 70
with and I'll tell you what you are, . then
are we right in charging that the leaders
Of the Know nothing party are abolition
lists IN heart, or so destitute of principle
as to be ready to unite with that sectional
and unconstitutional party, for the pur-
, pose Of defeating the Democracy, which
stands like a wall of fire around the con-
stitution and the Union We say then
emphatically that if the Know-nothing
leaders be not aLolitionists. they are tteir
Miles, and engaged with them in beating
down the only bulwark in defence of the
constitution and the rights it secures to
Southern men -Rcpu6.
