G STAR. | WASHINGTON CITY: TUESDAY --June 2, 1657. SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS. | The Uxion, commenting upon the election riots of yesterday, says ++ Our city authorities were fully prepared to cope with and etfectually put down any violations of the peace on the part of such of our own citi- zens who have done so much to injure the good name and damage the best interests of Washing- ton since the advent of Know-Nothingism in our midst; but they were not prepared for the im- P ti f gangs of armed bullies and despera- does fom a neighboring city, and hence the frightfully-fatal scenes of yesterday. “It must be apparent to the whole of this outra- ged community t these Baltimore ruftians did not visit their sympathizing brethren of Wash- ington from their own bloody promptings, but that they were expressly picked out, hired, and brought to the city for the pur; ouse their | own language, of «regulating the election’—or,in | other words, to shoot. cut down, or stab all who attempted to vote the anti-Know-KoUting ticket. We have too much reason to fear that these wretches were directly or indirectiy employed by sons in this city px dh have hitherto enjoyed a igh social position. If, on investigation. this | fear should prove to be well grounded, there can no hesit: s to where the real responsibili- ty of yesterday's bloedy work belongs.’* The Intefligeucer, upon the same subject, | Bays: * When yesterday we gave expression to our | belief that the election of the day would be marked by general quietness and freedom from disorder, ‘We were never more sincere. During the preced: ing fonr or five wecks which comprised the can- vass, nothing like intemperance or bitterness of feeling on the subject of the election was visible | in any quarter amongst us, although it was evi- dent enough that each of the parties seeking the control of the city government would do their | best in 2 legitimate y to gain their point. And | we still think, notwithstanding the unparalleled events of yesterday, that these views were in the main correct } * Of conrse we could not suppose that any ar- | rangements had been made for the introduction of | bands of intrusive « gers from abroad to inter- fere with the fell and free exercise of that very | moderate share of voting which falls to the lot of citizens in this District.

At the Frederick Junction, a large crowd of the neighboring people, well dressed and well behaved, embracing a pic-nic party of luscious looking country girls, met us and devoted their eyes for some minutes to a characteristic search for and scrutiny of the handsome young dogs on the train, (such as my friend the Hon. Sid- ney Dean, M C., from Connecticut, who sits at my elbow,) whom they manage to pick out in- stantly and intuitively from among the crowd of as no-account looking voyagers who invaria- bly make up the mass of those on all railroad trains. The magnificent country in the immediate | Vicinity of the Buckeystown Depot (that never looked more lovely) was the admiration to-day of all with us who could comprehend the value of one of the finest agricultural regions on the continent—eultivated, too, as well-to-do farm- ers, who believe in the “‘ American Farmer”’ as the Hard-Shell Baptists in the virtue of immer- sion, know how to work their lands. We are just now nearing the Point of Rocks at the rate of twenty-five miles per hour, being at this instant, for the first time in sight of the Potomac. W. D. W—a.

At Martinsburg. though two hundred bounced from the train into the dining-hall—hungry bi- peds every mother’s son and danghter of us— we got, on the whole, a very comfortable dinner, with an abundance of green peas, (still a luxu- ry below,) asparagus, tosay nothing of Virginia corn bread. There was the usual growling in- cident to making a meal on railroad time, to the great discomfort of the well-bred folks at table, and the obfuscation of the servants who did their best to make all comfortable without neglecting any. I could have wished for a better cook for the roast beef. but his absence was by no means | as great a drawback to the comfort of the occa- | sion as the growling aforesaid. Folks who find fault aloud at railroad tables invariably * lose deal,’’ the ranning schedule not being arranged to allow time for both eating and grumbling over one’s meat. After leaving Martinsburg, our route con- tinued for miles through a lovely country, much more hilly, however, than that from Marper’s Ferry to that point. We lost at Martinsburg much of a fair breeze which helped to make the trip that far a very pleasurable one. This loss was more inconveniently felt after passing the deep rock cut west of the North Mountain station when we entered a rugged, broken and mucW more uncultivated country; for it is far less fertile. As we rush through it. openings in the hills give us occasional glimpses of the moun- tains and the rich and lovely plateau skirting their base, on which my eyes turn with the fondness of a lover dreaming over the charms of the dear one from whom he has just torn himself away. We soon again entered a pla- teau at Cherry Kun, the valley of which, though small, is fertile and well cultivated. Unfortu- nately for our comfort, however, we skirted the hills on the leeward side, and thus were com- pelled to whistle for the breeze necessary to re- lieve us from the effect of the sweltering sun- shine and the concentrated animal heat of a packed and jammed train. Ere long we once ' more emerged out on the bank of the Potomac, where its shrunken dimensions told how rapidly we had been rushing up-country towards its | sources. Haneock. Md., only made its appearance on the other side of the river at a quarter before 3 ng gradually from the low grounds until reaching half wey up a “right smart” hill. There was nought remarkable iw its tout ensem- Me, save a very decided fivished contour, that told plainly that it is not a place of business in which many men of capital fail annually. Ifere we began to approach spurs of the Alle- gany range, most of them cultivable, and many cultivated, from base to ridge. The Chesapeake and Ohio Canal skirts the river's margin here on the other side. The absence of the busy boats upon it tells the tale of the cruel policy pursued by Maryland towards the stock- holders of that magnificent improvement whom she has as shamefully as shameles:!y robbed, lest it might interfere in time with the profits and monopolizing advantages Baltimore draws from this railroad. At the Sir John’s Run sta- tion we again entered a mountain country. there being no valley on the Virginia side and very little on that of Maryland; the Allega- ny spurs running well down to the river's edge, apparently. Thus we glide on—up, up, up towards the heart of the mouxtain region, the river (Poto- mac) becoming perceptibly -- small by degrees and beautifully less’? momentarily. The ra- pidity of our journey is so great as to make the gradual decrease of the width and depth of the Tiver plain to ail. At about 16 or 170 miles out from Baltimore, it has assumed, so far as its volume is concerned, the appearance of Rock ereek at Georgetown. Ere reaching there, we dived twice or three times into the bowels of the earth—one of these tunnels being nearly a fourth of a mile long—to the astonishment of Messieurs Cent. Per Centum of Wall, Chestnut and State streets, who, though famous railroad men in their way, know railroads only through the medium of stock-sales quotations. Ere reaching Nelson’s creek we obtained a fair view of the main Alleganies, towering to the heavens, over which we are to climb ere reaching Grafton at U1} to-night. They were evidently thirty or forty miles distant, yet their great height made them appear as though not more than ten or twelve miles off. When we first obtained that view we began to realize a favorable change of temperature. the afternoon since leaving the vicinity of Martinsburg having been most oppressively hot. The valley of Pat- terson creek, of which I have just had a fine view, is a beautiful one, level, broad and fer- tile. Ere reaching Cumberland, of which we had for a mile a remarkably striking view, we passed a pic nie party of colored persons, num- bering hundreds, who were enjoying themselves W. D. W—na.

J WASHINGTON NEWS AND GOSSIP. Tre Musictray Evection.—We are gratified to announce that nothing occurred to disturb the peace of the city after the fatal events of yesterday. Whilst all must deplore those un- happy restilts, yet it is consolatory to know, that the most beneficial influences will follow. The proceedings of yesterday show that the President recognizes it to be the duty of the Government to maintain the peace of the “ Fed- eral Metropolis,”’ and to extirpate, as far as it lies in its power, the spirit of lawless violence which now controls and disgraces several of the large cities of the Union. It will be well indeed, if the Executives of the States would imitate this example. They also conclusively demonstrate that a secret political organization must engender popular licentiousness, and is wholly irrecon- cilablo with the good order of society. Bloody and disgraceful, indeed, has been its history in the city of Washington, and its extinction on yesterday, with its fearful horrors, was but the legitimate fruit of its being. The citizens of Washington can now indulge the hope that their city will again be restored to the example of its earlier and better days, that the personal merits of candidates for office will alone com- mend them, and that the municipal govern- ment will be administered, regardless of secret, irresponsible edicts and mere party purposes. It is undeniable that the Mayor and his mili- tary associates discharged their painful and re- sponsible duties with not less prudence than promptitude. If the blood of innocent, unof- fending persons has been shed, it has been in the vindication of the supremacy of the laws, which underlies the foundation of our institu- tions. But, further, the responsib'lity is upon those who have created and fostered this inflam- matory condition of the populace through po- litical association, and have invited the desper- ate ruffians of other cities to invade the peace of our city and to strike down the rights of its citizens, even in blood. Denunciation may be heard for a time from the factious, but the strong, stern sense of the American mind, fully comprehending that “‘or- der’’ is the life blood of society, and is cheaply purchased at any price, will rebuke them, how- ever exalted their position. Tae Texpexcy or tax Times.—While we subscribe to the views expressed in the article from the Charleston Mercvry that will be found below, we have to remark that the anarchical movement in New York city, with reference to their new police law, is fairly attributable to the utter disregard of the principle of self-gov- ernment embraced in the action of the Repub- liean State (New York) Legislature in enacting the obnoxious city police law. That legislation involved practical revolution in the principle of American government, for the miserable end of subserving momentary political ends. It is re- volting to all sound ideas of justice and liberty, and thus to a considerable extent excuses the retaliatory or rather preventive course adopt- ed by those who resist it, so long as they do 40 by a resort to means within the law. That the tendency of the most powerful influ- ences upon society in the non-slaveholding States are anarchical is beyond denial ; while their results are already shaking the confidence of many truly upright persons in the soundness of the theory of our Government as applicable to a developed country and people. If our system is (as we do not believe) such that temporary majorities may pass laws with impunity outraging the rights of minorities, then the ~ liberty’’ of our republicanism exists but in name, and the advent of despotism in some shape or other is but a question of time History recounts how, why and at what condi- tion, nations that have gone before us have lost their liberties. That we shall be able through all time to escape the universal fate of all other peoples—if history tells truth—is not to be ex- pected. That our Government was framed with at least great care to postpone the advent of the time for our lapse is very certain. Yet it is not more certain than the fact that we are | galloping on to that time much faster than was dreamed by those who framed it—our fathers. We of the South, owing to the influence of the institution of slavery in our midst, continue to Preserve far more respect for law, and private and public rights, than remains to the people of the non-slaveholdiug States. Yet the populari- ty of fillibustering among us tells the tale of the popular mind throughout the North to forget the obligations of law—to do that for the grati- fication of its own pride, prejudice, avarice and passion, which, if proper to be done, justifies conduct on the part of the Northern majority which, we hold, indirectly to an abrogation of the Constitution of the United States, and ere- ates an absolute necessity for a dissolution of the Union. But we may no longer detain the reader from the astute reflections of the Mercury upon the g State of things at the North apidly developing the tendency to the progress of population and want must inevitably bring on the fi the North ft €e States of t present the great bulk of the peo- ple are p: holders. As Joug as a divided majority People are property holders. or ex- pect to acqn property, so long will there be a conservative influence fn behalf of property. But when population shall increase more than the Invans of existence, and the inevitable consequence rise, of want and peuperisin, aud the day Lall despair of aceumulation. property in the Northern States must be overturned. It will be either lived upon and divided through the force of law by the Legislature, or by direct ris. of the people and violence. The first indi- cation of the approach of anarchy, is a disobedi- ence and contempt of the laws. “A reverence for the law is the great characteristic of the Anglo- Saxon race It is this that has rendered them a peculiar race, by the pos: n of free institu. io There can be no liberty without it. Yet this feature seems to be Passing away from our Northern States. The beginning of change in this vital particular, was in the jouncement,by the Black Republicans, of the « higher law.*? Instead of supporting laws until they are repeal- y the regular organization of a free govern- aeni, they openly advocated disobedience. as the duty and the right of any citizen who should think them wrong. + The feuits of this doctrine are wofally multi- plying inthe State from whence it originated. Lhe people of New York are carrying out the les- sons taught, with respect to the laws of the Gen- eral Government, to the laws of the State itself. The lature of New York has passed a law, a Board of Supervisors for the regulation and government of the city of New York. Its existing authorities refuse to o! law, and insist on exercising the funet yee as authorized by previous laws. rhere are two authorities, therefore, struggling stery inthe city. Now whether the late law of New York ix wise or not, we do not pre- tend to determine. In South Carolina, at least, there can be no question of the powers of the ate, as was proved by the Act annexing the to Charleston. Itis a new feature, that the Legi or amend the ¢ he Qu utine ground in the harbor of New York. The people in the neighborhood re- fuse obedience, and burn down the quarantine buildings. More than one paper of respectability have suggested the establishment of Lynch law, by a Vizilance Committee, to protect society and enforce order in the city of New York. Brigham Young only rebelx against the authorities of a government above or beside the people who owe ein ee Le New York, the rebellion is the people of a State, against the laws passed by thelstite itself.

The place selected for the match was a hall in Ninth avenne. A | platform. forty feet long and tive feet wide. was constructed along the hall. A partition was run through the centre of the platform, leaving for each contestant a plank of thirty inches wide. | The walking commenced Monday night of last week at 7 o'clock. and was kept up till 5 A.M. last F riday—eighty-tive hours inali—when Trai- hor jumped oif the plank, and Mickey Free was declare or. Hosts of sports visited the hall during the continuance of the match, and many bets were made and lost upon the result During the last three hours that Trainor kept on the plank he was completely out of his head, and ail not know where he was. He would walk a few ste; 35 then jump up and down and laugh out violently’ Finally, in ove of his crazy jumps, he lea; off | the plank and was declared the loser.

In Canaan and the adjoining town of West Stockbridge, Mass., the first conversions to Mormonism in this section of the country took place, and many individuals of those towns join- ed themselves to that abomination.
