On returning into thc city we found an im

At this momenta troop of horse charged

forced an entrance. A second charge, aud

tho Haines were temporarily smothered. The
engines soon arrived. All sorts of crics were
raised fonic ol applausc and someof con

By ten o'clock the building was in flamcs,
which coniinucd to burnuntil tho wood work

by the State Itotise Bell. and this together
with the great hght, produced by the burn

Thc Mayor with his policc did their utmost
to prcservo the Chureh. He stood on
emiucncc nearly iu front of the edifice, an
made several eainest appeals. But thecrow
was overpowcring, and thc frequent rusbes
that were made, causeu cnmusiou and alarin

The persons killed orwoundcd werealmost
all citizens of Philadelphia, and all Anicri

the buildinzs. A fine new Catholic Chureh,

The scenc of riot was two or three miles
from thc Exchangc, nnd lnbabitants in the

with cronds of persons anxious to hear the

PROTECTION AND PRICE OF
WOOL.
The Editor of the Patriotlabors lustily to
prove that the rtso in the price of wool is no
way attributable to the present tariff. It is
hard. even for this copyist of Amos Kendall
and the Globo to Uck against thc pricks. It
is indced a tremcndous tax upon his higcnu
ity, to show that the present tariff which dis
criminates nilh so much care between coarsc
wool and fine, in the duties on tho importa
tionof thelower gradcs, with a vicw of sub-
jecting allne wools coming in compctition
wilhourownto the highest ratc of duties,
should not have had any infiticnce in check
iug the introduction of SoulliAmerican wool.
That the importation of this staplc has dc
crcascd from 10 millions in 1642, to 4 3-4
millions in 1843, i3 a fact which cannot bc j
dcnied. Public documcnts prove it as sccn
THE TRUTII ON RECORD.
It docs scem to us that evon the most ob-
slinate of our opponcnts must bo satisGcd
from tho vote on Mr. McKay's bill, that tho
party with which they afijliate is hostilo to
any thing like full and adcquate protection to
home iudustry. As a bill for rcvcnue purpo-
scs, the tanflof 1812 has approved itsclf to
the admiratiou of politiciana of every hue,
whileits salutary opcration for ihe purposes
of protection has been most signally evinccd
in the advancing prospcrity of all the grcat

fiDC wool hasdecreascd inthesamc time from
600,000 Ibs, to 200,000.
But in these results, thc Patriot allows no
cfScacy to the Tariff, but ha3 not the ingenu-
ity to devise any other causo. This it lcaves
to conjccturc. Bnt wc would ask, if South
American wool costing 7 cents ,abrqad, and
paying but a few inills of duty, or the lo west
rate of duties, is such wool as the American
manufacturerwants, why in thename of won
dcr do not ourmanufacturcrs continue to im
portit, rather than give 40 cent3 for the do-
racsticfleecc as they have done since the pas-
sage of tho Tariff? Thetrutb isthissortof
coarse and burred wool is very little wanted.
and nevcr so much as to pay thc fifty and sev-
cnty-five pcr cent duty imposed upon it, and
which is nctnally paid, if theCoIlectorof New
York is to bc belicved. As to the coarse for-
eign wool used for ncgro clotbs, blaukcts,
ic. the less the duty the bctter. It does not
come in compctition with any which any sane
man in this country would wish to raise,
The difficulty with the cditof of the Pat
riot is, and ever has been that he Jays down
false premiscs, and of coursc his conclusions
are all delusive. AII South American wool
which comes at all in compctition with our
own, pays from 50 to 75 per cent. duty in-
stcad of 5 millsand no fino Europcan wool
can be sold in- our market at Icss than 45 cts.
per pound. It costs from 25 to 28 cents a
broad which, by the duties, the freight, insur-
ancc, commissions, mterest, and moderate
profit, is enhanced to 45 cents as the Iowejt
price to the manufaeturer.
