From the New York Times on October 18, 1860 - the day of the first visit to New York City by British royalty: New-York boasts of her crowds. They are the glory of her Democratic institutions. They prove that, in spite of many sores and excrescences on the body politic, the heart must be sound while so vast an assemblage of people are under perfect self-control and so fully capable of self-government. ... They are not mobs, like the masses that occasionally congregate in European cities, and have to be scattered ultimately by the bayonet.
