Mr.. Boyer's Minority Report.

We have read this report, that of the
minority committee charged with the
investigation of the facts and causes OF
the riot which occurred in this city on
the Both of July last, with great salts
faction. tits clear, dispassionate and
truthful, and will be perused with
pleasure and thorough approval by
ninety-nine out of every handred citi.
zens in this community.
The tone which pervades this entire
report is eminently fair, and distin-
guished by desire and firm determin-
alton TO do even-handed justice be-
tween the contestant parties. forming
q strong contrast with the evident de-
sign which characterizes the report of
the majority of the committee, viz: to
implieate our whole community in the
offence of few evil-minded incendi-
aries,-to confound the guilty and the
innocentin one undistinguishable mass,
and that for the ulterior purpose of de-
priying good and true men of their I'M
questioned political rights.
1t does not appear-judging from the
legislation of Congress, since the pub
LEGATION of Mr.. Boyer's report at Wash
ington, that its clear, satisfactory, and
well sustained statements, have had
the slightest influence on the action of
that body, or rather q majority of it.
It., like the Conventionists, who assem-
bled in this city on the 10th of July
last, is banded together for the purpose
of upsetting established institutions
and overthrowing our State Govern
ment. Nothing can be palmer, from
the report before US, than that both
these bodies were working together for
one and the same end. And, now,
taking palpable advantage of their own
wrong-of a project specially matured
for the purpose of dismanaing US of
independence, and reducing us to ter
ritorial and military rule-an attempt
is made to implicate an entire commu-
nifty, eminently peaceable in its dis
position, and innocent of the slightest
wrong. in the offences committed by a
riotous mob, provoked to violence by
illegal conduct, if not of its own agents,
yet of men who, however lawless their
proceedings. knew that they would be
fully justified at headquarters.
No! this report of Mr.. Boyer, like
the noble and manly testimony of sew
eral of our best citizens, republished in
our columns. will go down to future
times and will form the material of i'm
partial history.-[N. O. Times.
