where no obtained employment in the machine

LAwLrssNnss

We regret TO Hnda somewhat growing
disposition to commit breaches OF the
public peace, on the part Of few desperate
characters who mix and move with the seve-
raj political parties at their meetings and
professions. Without stopping to inquire
which is or which is not the aggressive
party in these outrages upon public law and
order, We condemn the whole thing as dis
graceful to those engaged in it, aud injuri-
GUS to the success OF any party that upholds,
tolerates, or in anywise countcnauces it.
We are glad to find that the military au-
thorities have resolved 10 put an end to
these attempts at riot in tue future, and have
issued an order-which we publish else
where to-day-de6ning certain regulations
and rules whereby the peace Of the city and
the personal safety of our citizens may be
secured during the excitement Of the politi.
cal campaign through which we are now
passing
The Mayor Of the city has also issued a
Proclamation calling upon all good citiEeni
to assist in maintaining order during the cam
paign. The promptitude on the part of th'
civil and military authorities of the city, il
thus stepping forth officially to preserve th'
public veal, is worthy of commendation, as'
proves their vigilance and efficiency.
