In addition to the troops thus sent for

vicinity Of New York but this the secretary
of war refused to permit him to DO.
In the face of all these facts, when the
riots occurred in New York, the radicals
turned upon the governor and accused him
of sending off all the troops and leaving New
York unprotected, with an especial view to
leaving that city at the mercy Of the mob !
No other party would have been guilty of so
much meanness, or given countenanCe to
