Baltimore, September SO, 1S35.
Sir — 1 have delayed answering yours of the 2Sth inst. In hopes of being able to lay my hand on my note to you of the 9th August, (a copy of which you request, ) but have not been able to do so. It was written in the midst of the confusion and bustle of that day with a pencil, and when returned with your reply, was thrown aside, and is most probably destroyeJ; but I distinctly recollect the substance, if not the exnct words, as well as the circum- stances under wh...ich it was written.
It was on the the ever to be remembered Sunday, when the whole city was to all appearance in the hands of a ruthless mob, when every effort to procure assistance to defend the jail and prisoners had failed, and when those charged with felony were in a state of mutiny; the mob 45 collecting in large numbers in the neighborhood of the prison, threatening to make an attack, with cannon at their command, and all the attention of myself and depu tics required to control those committed to our care; the most of the fifty six charged with being concerned in the mob, had been admitted to bail through the course of the day, leaving eighteen or twenty still in custody; under this state of things I thought it would be prudent to dis- cbarge those eighteen or twenty, and thereby be enabled to retain the criminals, many of whom are old convicts: under this impression I wrote the note you allude to, which was nearly as follows: "Judge Brice — As 1 have been unable to procure any- adequate force for the protection of the jail, and the 'jri- soners are in a state of mutiny, requiring all my force to keep the control of the prison, the moj gathering in large numbers near the prison, with cannon at their command, would it not, as a matter of policy, be best to release the eighteen or twenty charged with riot, and enable me to detain those charged with felony.
