THREATS OF AssAssINATIoN.-In the
whisky slums where the Carter faction
most do congregate after each Of their nu-
merous failures, the general topic yesterday
was assassination. Beaten at every turn in
their holder schemes for riot and pillage,
they see no hope for gain or Office save
through the secret and cOwardly medium of
planned and deliberate murder. This they
s. openly threaten, and declare that ready
and willing assassins are but awaiting Or
ders and pay.
Circulars, of which the following is
copy, and which was sent to his EXcellency
Governor WarmOth, were freely circulated,
/ and indicate the dastardly extremes to
which these dark lantern rutfians would 60
81 if they dared. But, fortunately, the Sew
81 enty-six are known, and, instead of judging
- honest officials in their 'secret tribunal
they will, indeed, be lucky to escape the
punishment they have already richly
earned;
Citizens of New Observation-Disclosures not
life and property by resort to open vlO-
leuce in order to bring to justice the rene
gades and mscreants in the Legislature, who
have proved recreant to the trust reposed
in them by selling themselves to H. c. War
moth, the chief of plunderers. They and
their aiders and abettOrs, the thugs, DULLES
and the police, will not always be armed
and protected by Enfield rifles. The best
plan for Kidding the community OF these
obnoxious characters is to organize secret
tribunal, before whom the thieves and plum
derers can be arraigned and summarily
dealt with. This will prevent riot and
blOodshed. 10
