MAYOR OPDYKE.

fit has seemed to others. as it has sometimes
to us, that the Mayor of our city did not evince
the fullest energy and decision in dealing with
the riots and rioters, it is but just that these
facts should be considered.
The Mayor Of our City is not the head of our
Police, nor can he exercise any direct aud
positive control over it. That belongs to the
Police Commissioners. He has no Military
powcr-that pertains to the Governor. Thus
the Chief Magistrate of our City has absolute
ly no force at his command for the suppression
of disorder and riot-he can only act upon and
influence others, who do as they think best
about obeying or cooperating with him. 1t is
upjust to expect him to keep the peace or
blame him that it is broken, while thus Grip

THE POLlCR.

Occasions make tho regulations of horoes.
This apothegm is true as regards tho conduct OF
the police of this city. From tho time when Mr..
Kennedy went alone among q ravening mob,
barely escaping with his life. the police force
have distinguished themselves by their supreme
courage, devotion, and fidelity to the cause OF
peace and good order Of the Union and the
laws. However disadvantageously they may
be- placed in regard to promotions, compared
with the soldiers, yet they acted as II each
one carried a Marshal's baton in the form OF
his locust club. We have been witness of sew
eral of their dashing charges. That which
saved The TRIBUNE Office from the flames
after il was sacked was specimen OF their
usual rapid evolutions and con'ummatc daring.
So too, the rush made with the gal
liant Inspector Carpenter at the mob
in broadway was among many others, most
decisive evidence of their temper and ability.
While the Governor is addressing the mob as
his "friends," and seeking to upset the laws
of tho Union by criticisms upon tho solemn
Acts Of Congress, the Police do not stop to in
qure into the Constitutonnlity Of the law or
hold terms with the rioters who are the North
ern allies of tho Virginia Army; but true 10
their oa,hs, their honor and their duty. do
their work, in saving society from the mob.

Tho following certificate appeared yesterday
morning in The Ne,o. York Herald:
NEw.YORK, July 10. 1863.
"Tho draft has been suspended in New
York City and Brooklyn.
ROBERT NU0ENT.
"Col and Act Ass,- Provost. Marshal Den"
But at tho date of that document tho draft
had not been suspended. and has not been
since, and will not be. by the National Gov
ernmont, whom Col. Nugent represents; but,
on the contrary, the President had given as
surnnces, which We published yesterday. that
tho draft shall bs enforced undor oil circum.

the draft on his own authority Tho public.
and, We should suppose. the Government also,
would like an explanation.
New-York daily tribune., 1863-07-17
THE DRAFT-THR MOB.

Whoever has encouraged the belief or OK
pectaton that the Draft woud be given up in
our City aud Brooklyn. because Of the whole
sale robbery, arson, murder Of the last few
days, has incurred a serious responsibility.
We arc confident that no journal and no
official friendly to tho Administration has done
anything Of the kind. Fully aware that this
long g < pected, long-brewing outbreak had the
single purpose of weakening the power Of the
Government, and thus giving aid and COM
fort" to the Slaveholdcrs Rebellion, We have
from the first insisted and proclaimed that tho
draft could not and would not be given up.
For, if it is abandoned here, how can it be
enforced elsewhere and if it be given up, are
not our wasted armies now occupying most OF
the strongholds of the Rebellion, and advanc-
ing upon the residue virtually abandoned to
the vengeance Of their ppacable foesi The
draft, rigidly enforced, secures the speedy col.
lapse Of what is left Of the Rebellion; to
cover before the mob is to give now lease
Of life to the Rebellion. And this is why
Unionists and Copperheads arc alike tenacious
on this point.
The Daily Nsws alluding to the statement
that the Draft would still be enforced In our
city, says:

The object of this impudent falsehood is
very plain. The Secession sympathisers in our

draft is actually made, on the pretext that
those of the present week were stopped only
on the strength Of assurances that the Draft
had been abandoned. This cannot, must not

dent of the United States has never promised
