thrashed the rOpemakers and drove them
through the streets A crowd Of citizens
collected in the afternoon bent on vengeance
on the soldiers; but it was Friday, and in
two days ii would lie Sunday, and no Bos-
tonian in that day would begin a work for
the finishing Of which there was no. plenty
Of time before the Sabbath. They were
bent on hammering the soldiers, but not on
Sunday So they waited til Sunday had
passed nursing their wrath in the mean
time The next day, after having reiig-
iously attended divine worship, they re-
assembled. They went at IL early Between
G and o'clock in the morning several hun
dred men, armed with all kinds OF nipple
ments, assembled in Kings nov Statel street,
shouting that they would drive out the
soldiers. Two hours after they attacked
some soldiers in Dock square There was a
good deal Of shouting and crying N fire and
tearing up Of property; the citizens poured
into the streets: the town was in commo-
ton. This continued through the day and
before midnight the din OF shouting, ringing
OF bells and rattle Of musketry were per
feet bedlam
Finally, as matters were quieting down,
tall man, Mephistophees like in a white
wig and n scarlet cloak suddenly appeared
on the scene and commenced 10 harangue

words, TO the main guard" The words
were re-echoed by his listeners, and divid-

routes 10 the main guard. One Of the diyi-

Cannon was both by Inheritance and conyic-
ton an ardent anti-slavery man.
Just before the war he was elected states
