CHARLESTON OUTRAGE.

We present in detail, from the Boston papers, an account of one of the most brutal and horrid outrages, which ever disgraced this or any other civilized country. A convent occupied by women and children, without a single man to protect them, attacked in the dead of night by an armed mob—its inmates driven into the streets at the dreary hour of midnight, and subjected to the insults of infuriated demons—the buildings burned to the ground, the garden and trees destroyed, and even the tomb broken open and violated, presents altogether a scene at which humanity cannot but shudder.

This is the second scene of outrage which the country has been called to witness, perpetrated by a community boasting of being the "friends of order." A public ship was in the first place mutilated, because it bore on its front the likeness of President Jackson, and this outrage the pretended "friends of order" in the city of Boston openly justified. This latter outrage they disclaim in their public meetings; but why, we would ask, were no measures taken to prevent it? Why was a mob suffered to proceed in their work of destruction from 11 o'clock at night until daylight the next morning without molestation? Where were the town authorities—where were the police officers—where the fire department of Boston and Charlestown?— Do they answer they had not time to rally? Such an answer would be an insult to common sense.— But admitting its validity, why was the mob suffered the next night to complete the work of desolation, by destroying the fruit trees, tearing up the vines, trampling upon the flowers and plants, and burning the garden fence?

The Bostonians, to be sure, have held meetings to denounce the proceedings—but this will not satisfy the country. "They must seek out and punish the offenders, and they must make restitution for the property destroyed. An empty parade and the passage of denunciatory resolutions, will not suffice; for the abhorrence of those "friends of order" must be testified by substantial acts: not by empty vaporings. This outrage has filled the whole country with horror and indignation, and which no partial measures can allay.
