to note that all the frst-class papers. city

capital out of this affair. Let every actor
in it stand upon his merits. For the city

the sacred charge entrusted to their hands
at the bidding of asavage and brutal mob.

high places which they disgrace and for
ever branded as towards and traitors to
the Commonwealth. o2g~e zIaL ilsI 8.
On the other hand we unaualifedly COM
mend the manly action of Governor Hoff-
man in asserting the great right of free
assembly for all citizens, and rcsolutelv
summoning the militia of the State to de-
fend it.

thought and effort which the narrow-mind

how truly, below the ferrnent and confusion,
OF our party strife, the popular heart beats
loud and free upon the vital issues of our
country and our time. An assault unon
