" The tn/baited operettion Oriel' the
Constitution has given the people." —The
mob at Harrisburg, and the unlimited op
erations of Post office hirelingS, in bul
lying and attempting to control the free
counsels of a heretofore free legislative
body.
'• The anti•republican tendencies of
associated wealth. "—Whether Mr. Van
Buren here refers to the association known
as the Office holder's Betting Fund, or to
the acquired wealth of his runaway sub
treasurers, we are at a !onto determine.
" It was reserved for the American Un

By this is meant the advantages which
have resulted from the popular will having

In our lastJouroal, we give- the first
news connected with the disgraceful riots.
at Harrisburg. Since that time- the
Whig Senators have published an address
in vindication of the course they have pig
sued, which we lay before our readers, in
the full confidence that, they will appreciate
as it deserves;the,full and manly exposi
tion of those Whom we feel proud ofbaving
elected as representativrs of the Whig
party, anti who in time of peril and coin
motion, adhere Steadily to those rights. of
which neither force nor intimidation can
peprive them. ' •
