GENERAL CADwALLADER's EVIDENCE give
this very interesting evidence in to. days paper
The General presents most triumphant vindica-
ton OF his conduct II is clear as MONDAY that
no alternative was left him but to fire on the mob
II a crisis when either law and order, or a
blood thirsty mob was to triumph. The frmness
and sound judgmen. OF General Cadwallader were
equal TO the crisis, and he saved the city from all
the horrors of a lawless army Of cut-hroats and
inceadiaries.


What earthly motive but that Of true patriotism
could have induced the General to fire He is a
ciiizen of Philadelphia-a native of PhiadelPhia--
connected in Philadelphia. Surely, he, of all
men, was bound to do nothing that could tend to
the injury ofthat city. The fact is, the very ex-
istence of the city government depended on the
action OF the General, and his action was Just
what the fearful emergency demanded. Not a
single paper out of Philadelphia censures the Gen.
eral, except one, and that is miserable print,
without character or circulation.


Whilst we are spe aking Of this matter we may
refer to very interesting expression Of opinion
respecting the present and altered condition of Phi
ladeIpha, made SO long ago as the month of March
last by highly intelligent, thoughtful gentleman
OF this city, formerly member Of Congress. He
had visited Philadelphia, and after walking ov.
the city for day two, he thus addressed one Of
his friends who resides there" The aspect oi
your city has changed more within the last fifteen
years than that Of any place know-and il has a J.
tered for the worse. When | first visited Phila.
dephia it did indeed look like Quaker ciy-it
was peaceful, orderly and respectable. But now il
looks like ragged, drunken loafrr who hasn't
money, but means TO get It somehow, in order 10
get glass Of rum Your corrupt banking system
and Your immoral politicians have ruined you.
And he was right
