(Protestant allegiance)

Telegraphic advises last evening conveyed intelligence to this city that the mob had taken charge of Hon. Robert Young's house, and that his family were put in terror of their lives. Mr. Young, who left yesterday in the train for Sackville, received intimation of the outrage in time to enable him to push on to Shediac, where he would take an express and proceed homeward with all possible speed. The occurrences of Thursday were bad enough, in all conscience, but those of yesterday are doubly reprehensible. Language is inadequate fittingly to condemn such lawlessness. The perpetrators of this latest outrage need not lay the flattering unction to their souls that they can engage in deeds of violence with impunity; nor need their abettors, whether through the press or otherwise, suppose that they can shake their skirts clear of at least moral responsibility. The sacredness of home must be preserved in this land of freedom at any cost, and the laws which have been outraged must be vindicated by the proper punishment of offenders.
