Sib,— The Puss is acknowledged to be a power, more potent in a social sense than any other in the suppression ol wroug doing and tbe advancement of truth and justice ; hence ny reason for this infliction upon your valuable space, witli a view to tbe exposure of a growing tendency to dae’arJly practices of ill-will in for real or fancied injuries .'cutrtined. It will be in the recollection of your readers that some months ago (in (Jtevtown), Mr Andrew Young’s shop windows were smashed during the night by " nobody knows whom,” doubtless in revenge for bis oiauly di fence of a persecuted scot of religious euthnrUits. And now, Sir, a few nights since similarly infamous events ooouirod ; in one case to tbe Working Men’s Club lamp, the other t n Mr He’d y's suop window, whilst be aod hia family were in bod and asleep. Surely ull law abiding citizens will join in " ‘hat such practices so repugnant to the bop„ . love of fair play, will British manliness &<,„ *#oll a receive at the hands ol jus.,--punishment as shall effectually deter for me , future cowardly scoundrels from acts ol I nootural ruffianism. j lam, &0., 1 0.
