We have heard Of several negroes who
were injured but none others are re-
ported dead.
The negroes continued to prowl
through the streets in the upper portion
of town, some Of whom had muskets,
and interfering with every white man
passing. comm
= We have heard Of numerous other
parties who were attacked while pro-
ceeding to their homes. These attacks
we're mostly made in the upper portion
Of the city.
The simple fact that there were so
many more whites injured than negroes,
proves conclusively which was the most
riotous party.
On Dauphin street, n short distance
above Warren, n crowd of negroes
passed an old white woman, who was
standing in front of her gate, attracted
by the noise in the street, when one Of
the negroes struck her over the head asd
felled her to the ground, and We are now
informed that she is in critical condi-
ton.

American Liberty in tennessee.

The New York World in an article
under the above caption, upon the politi-
cal condition of Tennessee, not inaptly
compares its degraded state under our
present ruler to that of Guerrero, that
Mexican State which suffers an abject
bondage under the lordship of the fierce
and bloody Alvarez and which amid
the mutations of dynasty in that miser-
able country, remains an absolute and
remorseless despotism, though all around
it is anarchy and turbulence. 1t says
Strange and striking as this anoma-
lous commonwealth must be admitted to
be, it is less strange and less striking
than the despotism which during the last
few years has been permitted to fasten
itself upon State, not of Mexico, but
Of the American Union, and under the
administration, not Of soldier bent on
keeping the peace within his dominion,
but Of fanatic resolved on disintegra-
ting the fundamental elements of the
society which he curses by his control.
The State of Tennessee, which seventy
years ago, reasonable Senator vainly
endeavored to transfer to the possessions
of the crown of Spain, has been virtually
given over to the tender mercies of
monarch who rules by methods and in a
temper not unworthy of Philip ii or a
Ferdinand VII The truth as to the
present political condition Of the State of
Tennessee is Of so astounding q eharac-
ter, it is so ominous of evil TO all free
institutions in America, and so shocking
to every instinct ofjustice and humanity,
that no extravaganza of partizan zeal
can excuse the crime Of those who, call
ing themselves the friends of freedom
and progress in the North, contribute in
any way to hide this truth from the public
