RIOT IN OPPOSITION TO THE CON-
SCKIPTION LAW.

Last week the great city of New York was trans
formed into II pnndcmonium of thieves, robbers and
ussassins, who for four days held the city almost
at their mercy. II was reign of terror never be
fore witnessed on this continent Brief accounts
of this formidable riot will be found in other por-
tions of our paper. II is the direct result Of the
reasonable harangues of such men as Horatio
Seymour Fernando Wood, and others of the Cop
perhcad stripe. Such iuccndary publications as
the New York World, and Daily Nccs have like
wise contributed their share toward its nstigotion.
Dwellings, were burned, shops and stores were pill
laged, large factories were laid in ashes, station
houses were lcvclod to the ground, Il church and
asylum destroyed, and negroes were killed whcr
ever found. Every man who was suspected Of be
ing patriot was set upon with iicndishness and
atructy, not to be suspassci 10y gang of fmmish-

Of that city left no untricd to fomcnt this
resistance to the Government, and ever since the
outbreak they did their utmost to stimulate the ri
oters to continue their mad career Of pillagc arson
and assassination. Fact upon fact accumulatcs to
prove that this gigantic riot which has spread
dismay over the country, has sacrificed many lives
cocted by the Copperhoad traitors of the North, in
order to lend assistance to the sinking star of their
MASTER Jen. Davis. Many incidents lead to this
conclusion. The leaders of the riot consclcd op-

Ii is clearly evident that Governor Seymour was
cogniIant ofor anticipated this formidable outbreak
at least several days before its occurrence. Two
days before he sent the Adjutant General To Wash
ington to urge the postponcment of the draft, hut
he never warned the civil or military authorities
of the impending calamity. lie has proven him.

that State in not having in readiness n sufficient
force to quc it,. Even while these inccndiarics
thieves and brutal muricrcrs were sacking private
houses, and committing the most feudiSh atrocities
of every character, this Chief Magistrate addressed
them as his "lricudS," who have undoubtedly
been melted to violence by "apprchcusionS of in
justice! !" What language to be used by the Chis
Magistrate of the first State in the Union 1t may

Tribune; "What have the hanging and stamping
to death of negroes, what the Sucking of privat,
houses, what the pillagng Of jcwclry stores and @
warehouses, to do with the draft?
But, thank God Coppcrhcad maligny has
vented its worst in the American Metropolis, an,
the President has declared his determination {,
enforce the draft under all circumstances "
The presence of an efficient military force in tha
city, will protect the officers in the discharge o
their duty. Lead, bayonets aud gape-shot vii

that with a relentless iron hand.
