Today in
Washington History
by DONALD 4. cRAiG.

June II, I812.--Mayor Daniel Rapine
In a message to the City Council today,
called attention to the unsafe condi-
ton of the streets at night, due to the
roaming about at all hours OF idle and
disorderly persons. At the request OF
the mayor a night watch is being or
ganized composed of citizens who are
volunteering for the service.
This is the first time IN the history
OF Washington City that such meas
ure OF protection has been resorted TO.
1t is due partly to conditions brought
about by the present war with Eng
land: but that is not the only reason,
for the attention of the City Council
has been. called to the unsffe condi-
ton of the streets at night heretofore
by Mayor Brent.
With the British feet threatening to
ascend the Potomac River and attack
Washington, 1t is expected that at any
time the city will BE- stripped Of its
able bodied men, who will be sent
down the river to Fort Washington.
In case of need all the regulars en-
camped in the District and the vol
unteer companies of Washington and
Georgetown will be called into this
service.
1t Is ISAllEeQ itldt illC tStablAolIIlCliI
of a volunteer night watch will be only
a makeshift. There is a movement for
the establishment Of workhouse
where disorderly persons and vagrantS
may be confined. Then only. 1t is be-
leved. will there be any permanent
improvement in the good order OF the
citv
If the younger men are called into
active service to defend the city against
the British, a plan now being discussed
to call a meeting of citizens and ar
range for the enrolment of all men
above As years of age for the defense
of the city will probably be put into
effect at once.
While many persons profess to be-
lieve that the British will not dare to
attack the Capital City, there is general
apprehension throughout the city and
a belief that preparations should be
continued for defense, in addition to
the militia now encamped on Camp
Hill west Of the Presidents House.
President Madison and the members
OF the cabinet have been inclined to
belittle the fears OF the populace. but
many citizens point to the burnings by
the British at Havre de Grace and
other points on Chesapeake Bay, and
declare that the broad channel OF the
Potomac River is an invitation to the
enemy feet to come here.
