A mob Invoked in Chicago.

--John Wentworth, through his paper yesterday morning, was guilty of the most disreputable act of journalism that we have ever seen in a long experience. He openly and publicly and unblushingly called upon the public to mob the Marine Bank, and take from its vaults the money deposited there by the citizens. He called upon every man in Chicago who had no money and wanted some, to go to the Marine Bank and mob that institution, and help himself. We doubt whether, in a civilized community, a more infamous proposition was ever published in a newspaper.--Chicago Post, May 11.
