THE MoB AND THE PEOPLE.

~
THE MOB AND TIE PEOPLE.
The hearts Of some men grow heavy,
and almost fail them, when they hear OF
the f1ichtful scenes Of mob law and bloody
violence, that have taken place in New
York city, and seem to portend perhaps
the Ike outrage and fury, in other parts Of
The land. Loyal citizens and good men
hang their heads in shame, and cannot en-.
drrc that the desperate and ambitious,
should thus band together to throw foul
disgrace on free institutions; Justify the
charges and fears Of the haters Of Repub-
lican rule; and cndanger the cause Of the
Union and the country; and strengthen
the bands, and elevate the hopes Of slavery
and secesson- And yet, when VIC call to
mind how confident the ringg-1eaders fthe
rebellion were, in the beginning Of their
atrocious conspiracy, that tie North would
be divided, and We should have civil war
in our midst; and how firmly they trusted
to dissensions and party strifes among us,
with bloody outbreaks and fierce collisions,
rs one chief source OF strength to their
side and nain reliance for the snccess of
their ncfarious plans, We have great reason
1or satisfaction and erconra cerncnt in link

tat;ons have failed. and how trne 7ova,
