owing gentlemen: Moses B. Williams, James A. Dupee, Marshall Stearns, William K. Melcher, Nathaniel Lyford, Thomas B. Hall, Thomas Parsons, William Aspinwall, J. Murray Howe, and Edward A. Wild. The first legal town-meeting was held on the 29th of April, at which the resolutions passed at the citizens' meeting were presented by Tee for the year: Moses B. Williams, James A.

he could do as much. After the kid-gloved mobocrat had left the hall, Mr. Sanborn, quietly requesting the real friends of order to remain seated while the mob followed its leader, showed them that all their labor had been in vain. Then Mr. J. Murray Howe, without any flimsy veil of parliamentary pretext, a bully girdled by bullies, failing to excite any violent resistance, urged or incited the police to arrest all whom his followers struck, on the ground of removing the cause of the disturbad of the pack. But these other degenerate magistrates find here and there a predecessor to keep them in countenance; indeed, all the Mayors on the Atlantic coast are their models, with one or two noble exceptions. That mob which Messrs. Fay and Howe inaugurated spent the night among our colored citizens' dwellings, beating, kicking, and stabbing all whom they met. The police were on special duty in those streets in the night. The morning opened, the courts assembled, the magistrate took his

The other half were loyalists, anxious, deserted as they supposed themselves by the Bourbons, to make alliance with George III. They sent to Jamaica, and entreated its Governor to assist them in their intrigue. At first, he lent them only a few hundred soldiers. Some time later, General Howe and Admiral Parker were sent with several thousand men, and finally, the English government entering more seriously into the plot, General Maitland landed with four thousand Englishmen on the north side of the island, and gained many successes. The mulattoes were in the mountains, awaiting events. They distrusted the government, which a few years before they had assisted to put down an insurrection of the whites, and which had forfeited its promise to grant them civil privileges. Dese

ded his time. All was confusion, and the negroes particularly were uproarious. A motion to dissolve the meeting was carried, and Mr. Fay retired from the chair. Fred Douglas called on his friends to remain. Rev. Dr. Eddy commenced a speech in disapproval of the doings, and was stopped by a fight upon the platform, which was immediately covered by the police. The Chief of Police called on those present to leave the Hall, as the meeting was dissolved. During a brief calm, J. Murray Howe was chosen Chairman in place of Mr. Fay, by the Union men, when the fighting recommenced on the platform, in which Fred Douglas and his friends were roughly used. Cheers were then given for Virginia, and the Union and the Constitution, after which, in obedience to the orders of the Mayor, the police cleared the Hall and locked the doors. The following are the resolutions as adopted: Whereas, it is fitting upon the occasion of the anniversary of the execution of John Brown,
