TERRIBLE RIOTS NEAR PHILA
DELPHIA.
Firry Prrsoxs WoUNDED AND SEVERAL
Kirzeo.—The Pennsylvanian, of Tuesday,
contains the following particulars of a dread
ful Riot which occurred in Kensington :
At 4 o’clock, a meeting of the Native Amer
ican party was held at the corner of Second
and Master streets. The meeting was ad
dressed by Mr. S. R. Kramer, Gen. Smith,
and L. C. Levan. The rain coming on it ad
journed to the market, in the neighborhood,
where Mr. Levan re-commenced hi: discourse;
he had not proceeded far before a rash was
made on the western side of the market house,
in consequence of a gun which is said to have
been fired across a lot from the vicinity of the
Hibernia Hlose House; then commenced one
of the most dreadful scenes that can well be
imagined.
Volley after mll&; was fired, and a rush was
made over a lot in the direction of the Hiber
nia Hose house. rom every street and house
came rushing to the scene of action, armed
men—some with muskets, others with bludge
ons and stones ; many of these were accom
pinied by women, who vrged them on, and
directed them where to fire. Those:in pos
session of the market house maintained their
ground and held aloft the flag—while the
square between Calwalader street and the
Germantown Road in Master street was filled
with the combatants. Some of them here
ran into houses, but they were watched, and
the inturiated mob fell to work and partially
destroyed the houses into which they had ta
ken refuge.
In Cadwalader street, a similar frightful
scene was presented.
The riot lasted about an hour, during which
time the reports of fire arms numbered hun
dreds, and at least 50 persons fell from being
wounded. Several persons were reported to
have been killed. A voung man residing in
St. John street, near Beaver, named George
Shrefiley, was killed on the spot. instantly.
A young man named Temper, was shot in the
hip, and was wounded in so shocking a man
ner that he cannot possibly survive.
The Native American party gradually dis
persed, and up to a late hour in the evening
comparative order prevailed.
Quarter past 4 o’clock. We learn this mo
ment that at about 10 o’clock an attempt was
made by a part of the crowd to burn down the
fence which encloses the nunnery. They
were fired npon by a party of llrish, and five of
them shot. One Nathan Ramsey, a blind
maker in Third street, near Brown, was mor
tally wounded. J. W. Wright, son of Mr.
Wright, of the firm of Wright & Nephew, salt
merchants, who was a silent spectator, was
shot through the heart, and fell dead on the
spot.
The fire commenced toward night, in Cad
walader street, North of Master sireet, and
was the work of incendiaries. It was suffered
to burn for * several hours,” says the Ledger,
before any engines were brought to bear upon
it. About 20 bnildings were destroyed, in
cluding the market house.
Tue Pmicapereuia Rior was continued on
Tuesday. A large number of houses were burned,
several people killed and many wounded. Among
the lat'er we notice S. Abbott Lawrence, a ne
phew of Abbett Lawrence of Boston. We copy
what follows from the North American of Wed
nesday morning :
“ There was in the procession a man who had
jomed it on the way, carrying a musket. Manyg
of the Natives at the first shot dispersed, but this
man un : ediately levelled bis picce at a window
m the direction from wiich the first disc!mr%e
was made, and it is said shot down = person. e
declared he would stand by the siripes and stars.
He fired a second time, and wa- then shot down.
Other veports sav that stones were thrown first
at the houses by some boys in company with the
Awmericans. This, however, does not agree with
direct information The Americans had few arms
in the beginning of the fight. ‘They rallied, how
ever, and the contest was maintaged with des
perate perseverance.
Ihe wan who 1s said to have fired the first mus
het from the house was named Johnu Taggart.—
Aceording to the most credible testimony be had
fired twice, kiliing or mortally wennding ticree
persons, and came trom the Louse (o fire a third
time, when he was seized by the Americans. His
mushet was heavily loaded. With didiiculty he
was laken 1o Alderman Boileau's otfice, the crowd
seeming resolved to kill him on the spot.
The magstratedirecte d lis conraniiial, and he
was brought out by four officers. The crowd
soon aliacked and seizcd hnn. He was struck
first with a paving stune, knocked down and
dreadinlly beaten. A rope was then fastened
around his neck and he was in taat wanner drag
ged with a view to hang him to an_awning post.
Qur reporter states that he was thrown under a
market stall dead. Another says he was laken to
a magisuue'a office and there revived. Ou the
tirst fire (by this man as is supposed) Charles
RKbinedo'lar, ship carpenter, was shot dead.
Several shots wnmediately followed the one
causing this death.
. The action now became, almost five o'clock,
general. ‘T'he Amernicans were exposed m the
open lot between Cadwalader street and the mar
ket. The lnsh were under cover m their houses.
I’he Americans, however, stood their ground, fir
ing at the windows wlenever a man presented
huuself.
Eaily in the fight, Peter Albright, ex constable
of the Northern Liberties, was wounded in the
band. He lefi the spot, holding up his bleeding
hand, and calling on lus [riends torally with him,
returned to the ground with twenty or thirty, arin
ed with muskets and rifles. These he organiz.d
and posted near the market, where they fought
with the most determmned bravery for more than
an hour, untl atter seven o'clock.
1t is impossible 1o ascertain the number of kill
ed and wounded with accuracy, but it must have
been very large. The Inish were advantageousiy
posted in the houses on Cadwalader sireet, per
fectly Rruwcled from tue fire of tiie eneiny by the
walls,*while the nauves were unprotected, the
only shelter they possessed were the pillars of the
market house ; but they tougit mostly without
cover, and notwithstanling their exposed position
and the great disparity in the number of fire
arms, with a steadiness and desperation that
would have done cred:t to the fo:lorn hope of an
army.
It was owing to their exposed situation and the
opportunity enjoyed by their opponents, that so
may lives were lost, and the only marvel is that
they 8o long carried on so unegnal a contest,
when their numbers were dumimished at almost
every heavy discharge of the Catholics.
The voluntecrs attached to the first brigade of
Peunsylvana militia, under General Cadwalader,
were calied out by tie shentl. ‘l'hey turned out
in considerable force, took possession of the ground
at about 8 o'eleek, P. M., and cleared 11, after
which sentinels occuoied the entire square. There
the finng between the Nauves and Catholics
ceased at once, and was not resumed. The houses
on Cadwalader street, some of those on Master
street, and the Washington market, were set on
fire early in the evening, and when we left the
ground at midmght, the whole of the buildings
were a mass of burning ruins.
The only mstances of disturbance after the mil
itary arrived, were about U and Il o'clock. At
the former hour a group o' men was standing at
the cotner of Second and Master streets, when a
party of Irish came through Perry street in the
dark, and fired across an open lot, wounding sev
eral of them—two, it is rumored, mortally. A
ball glanced and wounded a person not in the
group. A rush was caused by the aliack, in
which a boy had his leg fractared.
About 11 o’clock some shots were fired cown
Master astrect, in the direction of the church. A
detachment of the military could not discover
who had fired.
On the arrivel of the mulitary at Washington
etreet, a volley was fired from a house, but with
out wounding any of the men. 'The occupants of
the house immediately retreated and escaped.
Several active fire companies, as soon as they
conld be protected in their work, operated suc
cesefully in preventing the spread of the fire.—
The extent of the damage, (the fire having com
menced at the house coruer of Cadwalager and
Master streets,) was the total destruction of about
twenty houses in those streets and Washington
street. The market house was totally destroyed.
It wa« a good stroctare about 250 feet long.
How many on both sides were killed and
weounded, it 18 i:npossible to say. [t is very pro
bable several Irishmen were killed in the houses,
which were aflerward burnt, ané the budies con
sumed with them.
From the United States Gazette.
Most of those present at the 3 o’clock meeting
moved in a body to Kensington, at the corner of
Second and Master streete, and proceeded to or
ganize a meeting, but they had scarcely nailed up
their flag--the same that is spoken of above—
when a number of boys made an attack upon the
Hibernia hose house.—A number of shot were
then fired from the houses in the vicinity toward
the meeting, and the Native Americans, after dis
persing for a moment, rallied and attacked the
hose bouse, took out the carriage, ran the hose
off the reel, and then broke the apparatus up.
An old tender, the property of the Washington
hose company, which was also in the house, was
broken up likewise. The Native Americans then
(between 4 and 5 o’clock) took possession of the
market-house, and for the next three hours, the
shots were frequent from the houses in its west
ern vicinity. Men were seen lying upon the roofs
of a row of houses fronting the market, and in
every place of concealment near the sawe place;
others were occasionally discovered.
About five o’clock another attack was made
upon the hose house, and a large new bell found
i it was brought out into the open square and
shattered to pieces. Sihortly after this, a frame
dwelling house next to the hose house was fired,
ane fromn that time up to nine o’clock in the even
ing, the flames continved to spread without stay
until TWENTY-NINE houses were consumed, the
greater part of them being upon Cadwalader
street, and four upon the street facing the market.
About seven o’clock the market house itself caught
fire, and at nine o'clock lay in a heap of ruins.
AL 7 o'clock, the first brigade and two com
panies of the third brigade, came on the grovuud,
under the command of General Cadwalader, and
formmed on Master street, facing north. Cannon
were stztioned so as to range on the street front
mmg the market, and on Master street, westward.
A detachment of two companies under command
of Colonel Murray, marched to the north end of
the market, and formed a cordon across the street
The military had previously been formed in hke
manner on Master street.
The sheriff then detached a number of his con
stabulary force (which had preceded the mulitary
on their march up,) and proceeded to examine
all the houses from which shots had been fired;
in one of them a man named Jonn Holmes, was
found, and in the same room in which he was,
was a rifle heavily loaded. He was brought out
and consigned to the care of the mulitary.
The excitement during yesterday afternoon and
evening, was of the most mtense character. In
the vicinity of the scenes of violence, business
appeared to be at a stand, and at every step one
met little gatherings of persons anxiously dis
cussing the probable and terrible consequences
of the outbreak, or narrating the latest act of vio
lence out of the many with which the hour teem
ed. Many were actually frantic for revenge.
The military remamed on the ground during
the greater part of the night.
Tuere 1s reason to believe that the immediate
danger is passed and the riot quelled. Most ear
nestly do we hope that it may be Lhe case.
LATEST PARTICULARS
We are indebted to Mr. Bennet W. Whecler
for a copy of the New York Extra Am. Republi

tiie following :
PiIILADELPHIA RIOTS—FURTHER PAR
TICULARS—ST. AUGUSTINE CHURCH
BURNT—-GREAT EXCITEMENT—MILI
TARY IN POSSESSION OF ST. MARY'S
AND ST. JOSEPH'S CHURCH!!
Philadelphia, May 8.—20 minutes of 11, P. M.
Dear Sir:—l write this that you may have
some information of what is going on here. This
night will, I fear, long be remembered in this city.
The maob succeeded to-day, about 1, P M., in
obtaining possession of the ground in Kensington,
and St. Michael’s charch and Pastor house were
soon destroyed by fire—then the Seminary of the
Sisters of Charity was burnt. Many houses were
destroyed by tearing down. On learning that
Churches in the city were threatened, the Mayor
made all the provision in his power to protect the
beantiful Church of' St. Angustine, (Catholic) in
Fourth, below Vine, in the city proper, bat its
destruction was inevitable ; it was fired about half
past 9 o’clock, and is now nearly a heap of ruins;
the steeple presents a fearfally grand sight, and
i'lnminates the whole city. [ fear that more of
the Obharchics Wil be fifed yer 10-uighe, the mob
is quite large and very much excited and unless
tie military (who are now in Kensington) act
with decision, [ fear we are to have terrible work.
The citizens have under the advice of the mayor,
organized in the various Wards, but What can
we do without arms against such an inluriated
mob ?
So far as I have been enabled to judge men of
all sects, join in the strongest manner in condemn
ing this unholy waste of property, and retaliation
for epinions’ sake.
The State House is just ringing West—l fear
for the splendid Cathedral of St. Johus, and if
before I close this I can discover the cause, I will
add a P. S.
The particulars at the destruction of St. Angus
tine’s Chuorch I am anable to give as I could not
leave my Ward.
I shouldlike to have time to give you some reflec
tions npon the scenes of tins week, but time will
not permit, and perhaps you might not have the
moral courage to publish them, though I believe
you possess as much of that ingredient as editors
generally do. Yours, in haste, .
The military have just arrived from Kensington,
and have taken possession of the Churches of St.
Marys and St. Joseph. I hope they are safe; but
the mob has not arrived ; with decision the mob
can be stayed. I mean the influence of the Bay-
ONET and BULLETS.
HorrisLE !—The frightful riot is still going on.
At the moment of writing. St. Michael’s Church,
Kensington, is in flames. lam unable to pen an
authentic account of the deplorable condition of
things. The whole city is in the greatest state of
excitement. The military are powerless. South
wark and Moyamensing are arming, and the Cath
olic Churches there are marked out. Several
more lives are reported as lost.
Harr PasTt Four.
The residence of the Catholic Priest, and sev
eral dwelling houses, are now on fire
New Yorg, Thusday, 14 P. M.
The Philadelphia papers have justcome to hand.
Nothing further is received, except what is below
—the proclamation of Martial Law.
By a passenger in the cars we learn that several
fires were still burning when he left at 9 o’clock
this morning, though the tumult, as usual in the
fore part of the day, had subsided, no doubt to be
renewed this afternoon.
The Irish were leaving the city.
It was understood that Gov. Porter had arrived
in Philadelphia, to see the laws properly enforced.
Half past 1, A.M.
Just as our paper is going to press, we are in
formed that Martial Law has been proclaimed,
and that picket guards bhave been stationed in
every direction. Large bodies of armed men are
guarding the Catholic Churches—the fire bells
are still ringing.
The Mayor issued the following Proclamation
about dark, last night :
“There is reason to believe that the spirit of
disorder raging in the county, is about to extend
itseif into the city, and to seek vent in the destruc
tion of property and attack upon life.
ALL coop Citizens desirous to preserve the
public peace, are therefore required to prepare
themselves to patrol the streets, to resist all inva
sions of property, and to preserve the public
peace, by resistance to every attempt to disturb
it
Each Ward is requested to meet immediately
at the place of their usual Ward election.
J. M. SCOTT, Mayor.
Philadelphia, May 8, 1844."”
From the Philadelphia N. American of Thursday.
3 o’crock, A. M.—There is no use of disguis
ing the fact that mob spirit is in the ascendant,
and unless an efficient body of from three to five
thousand men are forthwith organized, to put
down the rioters by force, scenes of bloodshed
more appalling than those we have witnessed
during the last three days, will be inevitable. We
say this in sorrow, but upon mature reflection.
From the Spirit of the Times.
Orders, it is said have been sent down to fort
Mifllin for United States soldiers. The city is all
confusion. Nothing but vigorous efforts which
cannot be expected from the volunteers, or the
Civil posse, will prevent Philadelphia from be
coming a prey to the mob, and preventing a gen
eral conflagration !
POSTSCRIPT.
Philadelphia, Thursday, 9 o’clock, A. M.
The city ia in complete possession of the mob,
who are completely armed and organized, and are
determined to resist any force which may attack
them. The report of the destruction of the Nun
nery of the Sisters of Charity is a mistake.
GRrEAT Froop aAxp TorNADO IN ARKAN
sas.—The New Orleans Picayune of the 28th
ult. says, from Capt. R. Houston, of the steam
boat Trident, arrived yesterday, we have the
following hasty particulars of a tornado, which
occurred about the 22nd of April, and of a
great flood in the Arkansas river. From the
Pine Bluffs to the Arkansas Post, a distance
of some 175 miles, the river is frightfully high
—being within a very few inches of the great
rise of 1833. Destruction along the whole
course—plantations and fields are under wa
ter, and, of course, the crops are all ruined.
There were only one or two places where boats
could land. Besides this, a violent tornado
had passed over a part of the country between
the Bluffs and the Post—the particular point
not mentioned—which also did much damage.
Houses, fences, trees and every thing in its
course, were prostrated; all which, with the
ravages of the flood, present one vast scene of
havoe. It could not be ascertained whether
there was any loss of life or not, but the prob
ability is that several persons must have per
ished. Groups of people and cattle were seen
about on the higher points of land, but no
communication could be had with them. We
fear that we shall yet have sad accounts from
this quarter. As low down as the townof Van
Buren, as we learn by a private letter of the
18th ultimo, the river was full to its banks,
and in anticipation of an overflow, persons
were removing their goods to places of secu
vityv. The banks and trees were continually
falling into the rapid current. On the 18th
the river had ceased to rise and was at a stand,
and on the 19th, it was falling slowly. ‘
The Memphis (Tenn.) Enquirer of the 25th
ult. says : |
Helena, Arkansas, in Ruins.—We are in- }
debted to the courtesy of our neighbor of the
Appeal, for the substance of a letter received
by him (rom Judge Tolleson, of Ilelena, Ark.
giving the particulars of a terrific storm which
visited that place on Wednesday morning,
about ten o’clock. A number of houses, in
cluding the new Methodist church, the Jour
nal office, and several dwelling bouses, were
torn to atoms, while there is not a chimuey in*
the place left standing. We are happy to
state, however, that not a single life was lost.
It was a wild night here, but the tornado pass
ed southward of us.
A Dreaprurn RaiLroap AccipeNt.—About
9 o’clock on Saturday night, May 4, two trains |
of cars on the road between Philadelphia and
Baltimore, and within a few miles of Havre de
Grace, came into collision at Shewsbury Mills.
The trains were so close when first discovered,
that the efforts of the engineers to check them
were comparatively fruitless. All the passen
gers were dreadfully alarmed, several persons
were frightfully injured, and one, a brakeman,
John Russell, was killed. The locomotives
were jammed together, and some time elapsed,
such was the scene of counfusion and excite
ment, before the injured persons could be ex
tricated, and the real amount of damage ascer
tained. Mr. Hill, the conductor, was dashed
into the road. his left leg cut off immediately
below the knee. He behaved in the most
manly manner, apparently satisfied if he should
be the only sufferer. As the collision was
about to take place, he called to the engineer
and fireman to spring to the earth and save
their lives, while he remained at his post, evi
dently determined to do his utmost. A fire
man was severely scalded. William H. Coop
er, who had a seat in the front car, had his
back broken, and was otherwise sadly hurt.—
He is believed to be a resident of the interior
of Penn. It is stated that the tender of the
up-train was forced through the car in which
he was seated, and passed by a number of
persons before it struck him. Mr. Durald,
a grandson of Heunry Clay, had his clothes
torn. and was slightly bruised. Hon. Daniel
Webster, and Mr. Graham, post-master of
New York, were in the train for Philadelphia.
A Incctiug was held, at which Mr. Webster
presided, and at which resolutions of sympathy
for the dead and injured were adopted, and in
censure of the persons who allowed the upper
train to proceed from Havre de Grace ; and this,
too, when a downward train was expected. It
is to be hoped that the matter will be fully in
vestigated, and the really culpable in the affair
made known and punished.

Burcrary axp TerriFic ExrrosioN.—
Last night some villains entered the store of
M. Regally, in School street, by means of
false keys, and burst open the safe by means
of a charge of powder placedinthe lock. The
concussion caused by the explosion wasso great
as to force out the Jarge window in front—sash,
blinds and all—breaking 5 panes of large glass,
which cost $4O a pane. A large number of
clocks were severely injured by the concus
sion, and the damage from the explosion alone
is estimated at $lOOO. The safe was opened,
but it has not been discovered that any prop
erty was stolen. Probably the villains became
alarmed, at the noise they made and decamp
ed without ceremony. The explosion took
place between 12 and 1 o'clock, and was no
ticed by persons sleeping at the distance of a
fourth of a mile from where it occurred.— Bos

AvavrancHE oF EarTH.—Last Wednesday
April 17th, a shock as of distant thunder, was
heard by many, and supposed to be thunder,
though no appearance of rain indicated the
vicinity of suchsound. Thursday, word came
that there had been a * land slide” upon the
bluff above us.
Several persons went to the designated
point. where the mountain forms a point, bor
dering the Lee’s Creek and Arkansas, near the
mouth of the former. Thesesay, a vast quan
tity of ground, large and massive rocks, to
gether with trees and shrubs, have promiscu
ously deserted the mountain and made precip
itate rush for the river.
They say, also, 'tis a very grand sight, pre
senting a wild wreck, a confused mass of mat
ter, all jumbled together in a ** startling heap.”
Geologists could find an interesting page to
study here ; while the gold-greedy may ease
their langing. as they say bushels of dollars
once were buried at this very point of the cliff.

# Damaces 1~ A Lisen Suir.—The Sheriff's
Jury last evening assessed the damages in one
of the libel suits brought by Benjamin H. Day,
against Moses Y. Beach, publisher of the Sun
newspaper, at two thousand dollars. Thelibel
lous article was published in the Sun of 28th
June last, charging Mr. Day with being the
instigator of certain legal proceedings institu
ted in Chancery by Mrs. Beach against her
husband, for a divorce, and with being guilty
of outrages not proper to be made public.—
The suit was brought in the Supreme Court,
but Mr. Beach, not deeming it expedient to
interpose a defence and demand a trial of the

fore a Sherifi’s jury. The result was as above
stated.— Republic.

HENRY CLAY’S STRONGEST TITLE !
The following resolutions of the Clay Club will
explain. They were unanimously adopted.
Whereas, Henry Clay took a decided stand in
defence of the principles of law and order, during
the late revellion in Rhode Island, therefore,
Resolved, That, in the judgment of this meet
ing, the conduct of Mr. Clay npon the Rhode Is
land question constitntes one of his strongest titles
to the confidence and support of Rhode Island
men.
TRIAL OF GOVERNOR DORR.
This important trial, which has excited so deep
an interest in this commnunity, has at length ter
minated. The Jury retired from the Conrt room,
after a charze from Chief Justice Durfee, last
Monday night at 11 o'clock, and after the lapse
of abont two hours and a half’ returned a verdict
of guiliy. 'The defendant, on Tuesday morning
made a motion in arrest of judgmeniand foranew
trial, on sundry grounds particularly specified by
him; and thereupon the Court assigned Monday,
the 10th of June for the argnment on that motion.
The evidence in this case, so far as it has ap
peared, is so deficient, inaccurate, and in many
cases so unfair to the defendant, that we deem it
proper to notily the public that a full, accurate,
and impartial report of the evidence, together
with a fair transeript of all the proceedings of the
Court, including the argumnents on both sides,
will be soon published in a connected form.—
The errors are so numerous, that it is next to
impossible to particularise, much less to cosrect
them, withont a republication of the whole.—
Many points of the evidence appear to have been
misapprehended entirely, and statements put into
the mouths of witnesses the very reverse of what
they testified. Great mistakes (we do not say
designedly) have been made, and generally a
gainst the defendant. We say thus much to cau
tion the public against giving implicit credence
to all they have seen in print.
We presume that all our readers will have pa
tience to wait a short time for a report made up
with care and correciness, in which they can re
pose full confidence, in preference to receiving
one now, hastily drawn up. which wonld give
but an imperfect history of a trial, second to none,
in the important principles it involves. 5
We hope that Democratic editors in other pla
ces will snspend a publication of any minute ac
count of this trial, until they shall have been fur
nished with this authenticated report, as we con
sider the principles involved in it to be of such
magnitude, that the people should receive the
truth, the whele truth, and nothing but the truth.
1% There was a gathering of New York
Whigs in the Park last Monday, which some of
the Whig papers called a great meeting, but
which was actually a small affair, as to numbers,
and still smaller for the enthusiasm manifested
on the occasion. Its object was to re-echo the
nomunations of the Baltimore Clay Convention.
A General Lamb was called to the chair, and it
was throughont a lamb-like meeting, the bleat
ings of the members being but faint responses to
the late grand ratification cancus at Daltimore.—
There was a considerable pretty smart show of
banners there, on one of which were inscribed
the names of Clay and Frelinghuysen, but there
was a paipable omission of that one with the ap
propriate inscription of “ Puritan and Blackleg.'*
Morris Franklin, the late rejected Whig candi
didate for Mayor, rose and repeated the nomina
tions of the convention, and a Mr. Blunt then
read some resolutions which were adopted. The
first resolution was introduced by a preamble ad
ulatory to Henry Clay, whom it styied “the great
Awerican Commoner—the type and impersona
tion of true and genuine American Democracy,”
and then they resolved to put forth all their ef
forts to elevate him to the presideney. Then fol
lowed a declaration of Whig principles—which
were: a single presidential term, which is prob
ably one more than their candidate can serve ; a
distribution of the procceds of the sales of the
public lands among the States; a strict account
ability of public officers, such as the Whigs of
this city require of their Treasurer and their Au
dit; a retrenchment of public expenditures, and
a separation of the purse and the sword, as have
been exemplified by the Rhede Island Whig leg
islature, during the past two years; a protective
tariff; and determined oppositson to the active
interference of government office-holders in elec
tions. The last is an admirable commentary on
their own practice ; the Whig Goths of 1840 hav
ing rewarded their own partisans by officers pro
portioned to thee zeal with which they labored for
the election of Harrison, and to the malignity of
their vituperation of Martin Van Buren, in their
stump speeches, and in the ephemeral ‘ kennel

of “Tippecanoe and Tyler too,” gently, under the

Letters were received at this meeting from
Daniel Webster, that constant friend of Clay, and
from other distinguished political men, who had
received invitations to the meeting, and among
them was one from Gov. Fenner, that “democrat
of forty years standing,” and finding him to our
amazement, thus in close communion with Web
ster and Clay, and the New York Whigs, and the
foes of Van Buren—we here present his letter
of acknewledgment, which we copy from his or
gan, the Journal of this city. ;
3270 ~ Provipexce, April 28, 1844.
Gentlemen :—II thank you for your polite invita
tion to attend the Mass meeting, in the city of
New York, on the Gth day of May next.
The severe illness under which Mrs. Fenner is
now suffering forbids my absence from home a
single day. It is therefore impossible for me to
attend. Veryrespecifully, your obedient servant,
J. FENNER.
[=s" It is a matter of surprize to some, that the
jury at the late trial in Newport, shonld have
remained so long in conclave, before rendermg a
verdict against Gov. Dorr. If they wished to
hold out the appearance of having deliberated on
the matter, they will find many more to laugh at
such an idea than to believe it. They were selected
for the purpose of consummating Algerine justice
—and they might as well have done their work
in their seats as in the jury room. The act of re
tiring and the appearance of deliberation was a
ridiculous farce.

HENRY CLAY AGAINST ANNLXATION.
The late exposition of Mr. Clay’s views against
the reacquisition of Texas, evinces as great a
change of opinion on this great national guestion
from that he entertained and expressed in 1820,
as b2tween his opinions in 1811 and now, ona
United States Bank. Since he severed himself
from the Democratic party and embraced the
principles of Federalism, he has scarcely pre
served a semblance of consistency on any of the
great measures which have occupied the public
mind. While a Jeffersonian Democrat he de
nounced a Baunk as unconstitutional, inexpedient
and dangerous. Now as the candidate of the
Federal party, for the Presidency, he advocatesa
Bank as the leading measure of that party. At
one time he advocates a protective tariff—at ano
ther he abandons protection and advocates a tar
iff for revenue merely. In 1312 he was the lead
er of the war party in Congress against the Fed
eralists, but is now their idol and god. Indeed,
he has so floundered in his principles, that he has
become the head of that very party, which ante
rior to 1312 were “ the war party in peace, and af
terwards the peace party in war’” ; and who repeat
edly threatened forcibly to send him and Presi
dent Madison to the Island of Elba, and make a
treaty with England for the conclusion of peace.
Since he has aspired to the Presidency, he has
found it convenient, in order to gain the support
of tffe Federalists, to abandon all his democratic
principles. and to repudiate all his former doc
trines. It is worthy of remark, that, the more in
consistencies he betrays, the more enthusiasm he
creates among his deluded followers. On no na
tional question are his present views more at va
riance with those he formerly entertamned, than
on the subject of Texas. In 1820, after John Q.
Adawms had ceded to Spain all Texas, contrary to
the terins on which Spain had instructed her min
ister to treat with our government, Mr. Clay, in
his place as Representative, held, that territory be
longing to the United States could not be alicnated by
treaty. e was then under oath to be true to the
country and her coustitution. Now, as a candi
date of that party who are opposed to the reac
quisition of Texas, and who are the same party
that opposed the acquisition of Louisiana and
threatened the dissolution of the Union, then, as
now, if Texas is reannexed, Mr. Clay holds a dif
ferent view. Hear him, when on the floor of
Congress, he boldly denicd the power of Mr. Ad
ams even to make the cession in the treaty of
1319.
~ln April 1820.
In April 18344.
*The United States
acquired a title to Tex
as, extending, as I be
lieve, to the Rio del
Norte, by the treaty of
Lounisiana. They ceded
and relinquished that ti
tle to Spain, by the treaty
of 1819—by which the
Sabine was snbstitnted
for the Rio del Norte, as
our western boundary.”
He said ** that Terri
tory could not be aliena
ted merely by a treaty,
and consequently that,
notwithstanding the trea
ty, TEXAS WAS STILL OUR
owy,” &ec.
Now if Mr. Clay was right in 1320, Texas is |
still ours. If Mr. Adams had no power to make I
the cession, and notwithstanding the treaty, Tex
as was still ours, as contained in the treaty for
Louisiana, because territory conld not be alien
ated merely by a treaty, Spain look nothing by
the cession. We never parted with Texas de
Jjure. If Mr. Clay can be relied upon in his view
of the martter in 1320, Mexico actually conquered
’ Texas from the United States and not from Spain.
'The Texians scttled upon it as Umted States’
lproperty, and defended at San Jacinto, against
Mexico, as the ¢ liberum tenens” of the United
' States. If all this be so, why does Mr. Clay now
object to the reacquisition ? Jls not Texas in 1844
as much ours under the Louisiana title, as it was
in 1820, after the treaty of Mr. Adams, which
Mr. Clay*pronounced void and of no effect, and
l made too without authority ? Under his former
"doctrine, Mexico claims Texas by conquest as
against the United States, becanse Spain acquir- !
ed no title under the pretended treaty of 1819.
Never having parted with our title acquired from
France, either to the Texians or Spain, olheri
than the supposed transfer of it by Mr. Adams, |
“It is still our own.” But now Mr. Clay, to ac
commodate his views to the Whig party, and to
gain the snpport of Abolitionists, modestly, though
hypocritically, speaks of Texas being ceded to
Spain by the very treaty which he denounced as
invalid and fraudulent. He has also become an ‘
alarmist, and seems to dread a war with Mexico
as an evil of the greatest magnitude. In his let
ter he says, “ Annexation and war with Mexico
are identical.” Really, Mr. Clay has imbibed the
spirit of the old federal peace party in war, whom
he is now anxions to serve. Is it not a little sin
gular that Henry Clay, for the paltry purpose of
‘ electioneering himself into the Presidential chair,
shonld now pretend to deprecate the chances of
; a war with Mexico—merely by retaking into our
own possession, what he declared was still our
own? [IHe really dreads a war with Mexico !
The man who sacrilegiously invoked upon his
own country, “war, pestilence and famine,” rather
than to witness the election of General Jackson
to the Presidency !!! This is the man of consist
ency, frankness, morality and patriotism, whom the
Whig party once detested and despised, and
whom they are now running demented to serve
and to elevate to power. Is such a person, with
such variant opinions, such contrarieties of char
acter, such vacilating theories and such a chang
| ing and unsteady temperament, well fitted to dis
charge the high duties of President of these Uni
ted States? We hope “ the sober second
thought of the people,” will prevent such a fatal
catastrophy ! A
We learn that a sinall portion of the people of
this city, some day this week, in their several
ward rooms, selected some of their “ litter’” to act
as officers for the ensuing year. They did unot
flocktogether in large numbers, and the unfledged
goslings hatched ou the occasion come under the
party-colored denomination of Federal, Clay,
Hartford-convention, Law and order, go-to-meet
ing, duelsapproving liquor and anti-liquoring Al
gerine Whig democrats. The same length of
Mayor was chosen as heretofore; and the Town
House will therefore be closed against all meet
ings of the democratic party for the current year.
There was some reviling amongst the Algerine
brotherhood, that portion of them who enjoin to
tal abstinence, denouncing the restas rum sellers,
and drunkards, who in return sent back the op
probrions appellation of bypocrites and party dis
organizers. It would be a pity to have any seri:
ous difference of opinion amongst these brethren
of law and order, and perhaps it is not to be ap
prehended, as the managers have a method of
whipping those who are restive into the traces.
Law axp Orper Music.—The inhabitants of
Newport were regaled with a serenade by some
of the dite of the “law and order” party of the
State, on Wednesday night last. The music con
sisted of the new Whig songs with a tin pan ac
companiment. ‘

of the country, where the scenery is rural and
the air is salubrious and delightful. Itis under
the superintendence of excellent instructors; the
domestic arrangements are made with a view to
the comfort and health of pupils; and the terms
of iusiructiogs and of board are on a moderate

TWENTY-EIGHTH CONGRESS.
Sexate.—Several memorials were presented,
and some private bills considered. The supple
mentary Navy Pay bill was discussed and amend
ed, but not disposed of. The further debate on
the Tarifi was poflponed till to-morrow, aud the
Senate went into Execative session.
House.—Mr. Adams moved a correction of the
Journal in relation to a statement there made of
the letter fromn Mr. Calhoun,rep:;'ing 1o the resolu
tion of the House calling for information as to the
correciness of the tables of the last censns. The
House refused to take any notice of the motion.
A report in part was received from Mr. Saun
ders of the Select Commiitee on the late conflict
between White and Rathbone, recommending
that Moore, who committed an assault on amem
ber, and on one of their police officers, should be
turned over to the civil authorities for punish
ment. It reported no course to be pursued a
gainst the members. Mr. Pettit and others op-
Eosed the report on account of that omission, and
e offered resolutions of censure, which, after de
bate, were postponed to Thursday. The Taniff
bill was taken up, and Dr. Dauncan of Ohio com
wmenced a speech thereon, of a stroug political
character, and ridiculing the idea that JMr. Clay
could be a successful candidate for the Presiden
cy. e
Tuespav, May 7.
Sexate. —There was a presentation of sandry
memorials and petitions. The bill granting cer
tain public lands to the State of Indiana waus read
a third time and passed. The bill supplementary
to to the Navy pay bill was passed. rl provides
for the compensation of the officers and seamen
of the Missouri, for the loss of their clothes &e.,
and for future cases of shipwreck &e. The tariff
question was resumed, and Mr Bagby made a
long and sensible speech in opposition to the
views of the Senators from Massachusetts.
House.—After the reading of the Journal, Mr.
McKay moved that the rules be suspended, for
House to resolve itsel{ into a Comumitiee of the
Whole on the state of the Umnion; which was
agreed to. Mr. Weller took the Chair, and the
Committee resumerl the consideration of the Ta
riff bill; and Mr. Duncan finished his remarks
commenced yesterday. After he had concluded,
Mr. Hardin, of filinois, obtained the floor, and
advocated a highfprotective tariff.
Vircinia Evrecrioss.—The last Richmond pa
pers state that all the counties in the State have
now been heard from, except Grayson and Car
roll, which elect one delegate ; and the paperson
both sides (whig and democratic) admit they will
return a Democratic delegation, as the Democrats
have a decided majority n those counties, and it
is believed they are running one candidate only.
The papers of both parties agree that the Senaie
stands as follows :—Democrats 21, Whigs 11—
Democratic majority 10.
The Whig papers foot up the House of Dele
gates—Whigs 73, Democrats 61—Whig majority
12.
According to these footings, the Whigs will
have a majority of two on jomnt ballot. But the
Washington Globe, claims two—one democrat
and one whig—who are set down in the whig col
umn of delegates, and are added up in it 1o make
it 73. “The two we allude to are, the whig del
egate from Mecklenburg, (a strong democratic
county,) who is pledged to vote for a democratic
senator ; and the delegate from Logan county, who
is the same person who was elccted from that
county last year, and was then set down by both
parties as a democrat.”
From the N. Y. Ev. Post.
TuEe seLecTioN oF Vice PresipENT.—~A
letter from Baltimore, after describing the
pomination of Mr. Clay—proceeds to say :
* The troublesome part of the affair, was
the selection of a colleague to run with Mr.
Clay, as Vice President, who could lend some
grace to his inevitable defeat; intrigue, buy
gaining, by play and shufiling on this ques
tion, were only equalled by similar wricks at
Harrisburgh in 1840, when Mur. Clay, as his
friends at the time stated, ** was cheated out
of the Presidency.” Mr. Evans was really,
in point of talent, the strong man of the party,
‘but he had not that kind of ** thing about him”
‘which it was necessary to have to sustain some
ot the great imperfections and positive demerits
of Mr. Clay. He is not an abolitionist a sec~
tarian in religion, an antimason, or any thing
of that sort, and therelore not of the right
stamp to pick up ** the wayfaring men” which
it was supposed Mr. Clay would leave in large
numbers behind him. He was therefore pre
vailed upon to withdraw. Mr. Clayton, of
Delaware, the candidate of one of your city
papers, wrote a very sensible leiter, stating
that if he could not be mominated, he would
withdraw, and accordingly he was withdrawn.
Judge McLean, thinking himseil better fitted
for the post, as no doubt he is, than Mr. Clay,
would not consent to run for the second ol
fice, and the contest was therefore narrowed
down to Mr. Fillmore, ol your State, Mr. Da
vis, of Massachusetts, Mr. Sargent of Pennsyl
vania, and Mr. Frelinghuysen, of New Jersey,
now a resident of your city, who on the third
ballot was chosen by a vote of 155 against
1185 of the latter Mr. Davis had 72 and Mr.
Fillmore 40. It is conceded that Mr. F. isa
highly respectable man, and belongs to the
W ebster branch of the coon family.
He is a gentleman well educated, of moral,
religious and exemplary habits, of a fervid and
somewhat poetic imagination. You will recol
lect the poetic description he once gave in the
Senate of the United Siates, of Mr. Biddle,
when in all his glory, when every body else
was in trouble and turmoil, * Yet as calm as
a summer morning.” 1 hope he will be as
calin himself when he shall have ascertained,
as he certainly will, that he was not born to
be Vice-President, nor accident President of
the United States, till after 1849. You will
notice by the papers how the votes stood by
States, on the Vice Presidency, and itis quite
curious. 0. P.
DreapruL CoNFLAGRATION.— Amsterdam,
April 13.—1 n the village of Aalsmeer. 46
houses, in the best part of the village, are re
duced to ashes. Many of the inhabitants of
these houses, among whom is the burgomas
ter, have saved nothing but the night clothes
which they had on. A great number of cattle
are burnt, and four persons are missing. It
is supposed that the fire commenced in a barn
in which a knife grinder slept. This man,
too, has not been since seen.
Charles, a negio boy, charged with the
murder of his brother, was put on his trial on

a verdict of guilty—he was sentenced to be
hanged on the 31st inst.—Wilmington (N.

a son of Mr. James W. Haley, aged about 16
years, was murdered, as is supposed, by a ne
gro woman who was at work with him, in a
field some distance from the house. His face
and head were much mangled by blows from
a hoe, and his throat was cut nearly from ear
to ear. The woman ran off, but several per
sons went in pursuit of her.
