The Governor was greeted Throughout. with
great cheering. The crowd soon after dispersed.
AMI did not gather again in that vicinity during
the forenoon
The mob received no mercy from any portion Of
the press. and the Democratic press we're espec-
tally decided in condemning the riotous proceed
ings and the violations OF law and order We
make few extracts from the latter. to show the
spirit which animated them. and as a refutation
of the infamous caIumnies that Democrats or
Democratic papers gave any encouragement
whatever to the mob. We quote from the pa
pers of Tuesday morning:
From the Journal Of Commerce.
There is but one word OF advice TO be given to
every man. Ii impresses itself on all citizens
to dav Sustain the laws There Is no other
security Stand by the constituted authorities
local. State and NATIONAL Every man has his
duty to do Every voice should be raised in ihi :
behalf. Ii is a pressing duty this morning. Our
lives aud property dependent the fulfill
ment The authorities need every mans support,
and they must have il.
from the World
Let this lawlessness cease Mobs must stop or
be put down. No Government can tolerate
them. Anarchy is no refuge from injustice and
wrong.
Your resistance is i'll timed and unlawful. The
courts still exist in the State of New York
Law and the protection of law is measured out To
the humblest citizen The Governor of the
State will suffer 10 law to be disobeyed, whether
by mobs or misguided rulers The frs. man the
CONSUMPTION calls unwllingly from his home has
il in his power to test the consuttionality of the
law by which he i selected, and the decisions Of
the courts will be sustained in the Empire State
against any and every power which attempts to
override them.
From the News.
We implore them. the working casses)
therefore. to 6ud other means than lawless VIC
lence 10 oppose oppression. Let them remember
that they are American citizens and should. I'M
der no circumstances of provOcation. descend tn
acts Of Incendiarsm and outrage. II they would
assert their capacity To be freemen. they must
learn to govern themselves and to repress the
terrible prOmptngs of their passions. BY giving
way to excess and to reckless and vindictive VIC.
lence. they will defeat the objects they have in
view Ii they have determined TO resist the
conscription act. let their resistance be that OF
men, the firm and effective opposition of those
who are conscious OF Just and righteous cause
Remember, fellow citizens, it Is our duty 10
prove that superior. in the attributes OF
manhood. TO those who are now in power that
better able guide the Ship of State and
To bring back peace to our distracted country
1t is not by yielding to the impulses OF FRENZY tina,
substantive claim IL is not bv the
wantOn destruction of property, by attacks upon
unoffending negroes, or BY giving loose rein to
the dictates of rev, nge and hate that we can ee
vate ourselves above the level of Abolition fanat
les and make ourselves worthy to become the
saviors Of our country.
The World, however. thus apostrophizes the
men in Washington:
fha u
length listen to our voiceg Will they now give
ear to our warnings and adjurations? Will they
now believe that defiance OF law in the rulers
breeds defiance of Law in the people? Does the
doctrine proclaimed from the Capitol that in war
laws are silent please them put in practice in the
streets of New York; Will they continue to
stop their and shut their eyes to the voice
and will of loyal people. which for three long
years has told them by every and by every
word that this war must be nothing but a war for
he Union aud the Constitution
The Express thus describes the scenes of Mon
day night:
The picture of the citv last night in the misty
hazy atmosphere, was such as our ewes never be
