Courier & Enquirer: ..Tae ELECTION.— The city was unu-ugly quiet during the election yesterday, except in the Sixth Wind, where earlyiin the day there were ev ident indications of a strong disposition to proceed. to acts of violence. In afternoon a fight was commenced between the two factions of Irish, viz: the Orangemen (Ferris)land ( Shaler ) which was the signal hole general outbreak, and the result-was one of the most disgraceful riots that has been known in the city for leafs. The Mayer arrived on the giound and entle-evorcil to stop the Irishmen from Oghting, but that was ut terly out of the iriestionand at last, American cit izens joined in the affray, and in en incredibly short space of time Centre street from Duane street to the Police Office was tilled with men fighting. A minim brought a load of small wood to a house in Centre street, but the instant it was dumped, the Irishmen seized upon the sticks, con verting them into weapons and with these the af fray was for a long time carried on. The 1.01 act was road, but without producing any effect. All the police officers, ijot on duty at the several polls, together with some of tho city morshals, were at once brought toy the scene of action, and they behaved in the most gallant manner. They secured about thirty of ihe Irishmen, though not ' without great danger to themselves, and many of them received severe brnisCs in their attempts la get off with the prisoners they had taken. This fight, which commenced about 5 o'clock, lasted about an hour and a half, and was terminated by the total discomfiture If! the Irish, who fled, leav iog the field in the posse lion of the Americans.-- 01 the thirty prisoners who were taken to tile.. Tobibs, mast of them are dreadfully beaten, anitt the back room of the Uwe office presented very much the appearance of , a hospital. DISOILLCEFUL Oc-ri4er..—After - the serious af fray which occurred in . the Sixth Ward, and to which we already alluded. a large collection o f individuals said to cr twist of the notorious Sevi tr•tri B•xn, proceeded Ita the residence of Bisho, HVGIIES, immediately in the ;rear of the Roman Catholic ? Cathedral, and commenced an attack up on it with brick bats a&.I also attempted to force I= We aro sorry to add, that the windows were broken in, and the interim of the house and most of the furnitnro in the front rooms, very seriously injured. Not less town some sixty or severity missiles were laying abtlat when we visited the prentises; Bishop litoncs was not at home, having been in Philadelphia for some days past, and the aged Bishop Donors was lying in his bed in the back room of the first story, againdt the door of which, the missiles thrown from the street, struck in rap: td succeision—of course causing very serious a. larni in the mind of this very aged and feeble Pre late. It is painful to record this most disgraceful of all the popular outbreaks, which have occurred in our city ; and we sincerely hope that every past. blo effort will be made to tiring to punishment the infamous perpetrators of at. Never 'relent has our city been thus disgraced. Not the slightest apology or plea can bu offered in extenuation of this proceeding, and we are quite certain that ev ery good citizen will urine in condemning et, and in using all proper ineada to bring the ntiscrcaitt+ who perpetrated it, to,speedy justice. It is needless to add, that this brutal assault up ••on the residence of the R. C. Bishop, produced the greatest excitement among the Calhol,c Irish. They assembled in great numbers to protect their Bish, , p; but at the request of one of their Clergy, retired as soon as a strong force of watchmen or rived on the ground under the direction of Justice TAYLOR and officers Cdicatrur, and Hays. The military were called out by the Mayor at about 8 o'clock, and continud on duty during the night. All was quiet at time of going to Press -4 A. M. The Express says z• - \ Some Irish porter houses in Orange street had their windows smashed in; and there were many symptoms of subordination throughout the night. The Troop of Horde patrolled the city during a good part of the . night, keeping the peace. The Irish in the 6th end 14th Wards were • highly,alarmed for their safety, and many of them Closed their dwellings;" o There is but littleclonbt that the mob intend ed to demolish the Cathedral, but they were pre sented by the watchmen and the military. 1 13 The Odd Fellows arc making extensive ar rangements for a procession, to come off on the 90th instant, upon the occasion of the Rev.

These remarks of Mr. 'Webster are fully sus tained by the history of the times when the. Co nstitution was under discussion before the people foe adoption or rejection. At the close of the War of the Revolution, the country was inundat ed with British goods to such on extent that al most all our infant inanulastoriz.es had to cease operating.: all trades, from the shoemaker and tanner down to the blacksmith and Vatter, were prostrated by the overwhelming rivalry of Eng land. This injury to the A inerican laborer was the more keenly felt from the fact that most of the trades whit h supply the immediate wants of the community, had been created and eat dbished in America during the eight years of tie Revolution. That the first act of the Governineot, upon the closing of the war, should be to open the ports and deluge the country with foreign fabrics, was loudly complained of by American mechanics.— This Was one of the principal reasons that led them tti unite in support of the new Constitution, and to condem' the old articles of confederation which gave no power to the General Government to levy a national system of imposts by which A 'morican manufactures might be protected. The pamphlets of the day are full of arguments ip fa vor of the present constitution, from its power to protect domestic industry. I *shall cite a few pas sages from these writing. In the American Mu seum, 2d vol. p. 437, is an address to the citizens of New Jersey on the new Constitution, dated 'November, 1787 ;- it - says: “The great advan tages which would be the result of the adoption of the present Constitution, are almost innumerable In the first place, the proper regulation of our commerce would be insured - the imposts on all merchandise imported into America, would still effectually aid our continental treasury. This power has been, heretofore held back by some states on narrow and mistaken principles. The amount of duties sines the peace would .probably by this time nearly paid our national *debt. By the proper regulation of`our cominerco, our own manufactures would be also much pro rinoted and encouraged. Heavy duties would dis courage the consumption of articles - of f reign growth. Thos would buttes us to te,rl; up our row materials and prevent Europeaq manufac turers from drag- I cing lizen from us, in order to bestow upon them their r ten blow, and u logh price before Ihey are rthirne E.? i,d to our fvul,. - In the sante year, 1787, a Pennsylvanian under the signature of One of the People,' makes a similar appeal on behalf of the new Constitution. "I lie people of Pennsylvania, in general, are composed of men of three occupations-the far mer, the merchant, and the mechanic. The in terests of these three are intimatef:y blended to gether. A Government, then, that will be condu cive to their happiness and best promote their in terests, is a Govertime . nt which these people should adopt. The Constitution now presented to them is scrtli an one. Every person must long since have discovered the necessity of placing the exclusive power of regulating the commerce of America in the same body. Without this it is impossible to regulate their trade. The same imposts, duties aid customs must equally prevail over the whole, for no State can carry into effect its impost laws A neighboring State could al ways prevent it. No Slate could effectually en courage its own manufactories. Whence comes it that the trade of this State, which abounds in materials for ship building is carried on in fo reign bottoms Whence comes it that shies. boots, made up clothes, hats, nails, sheet iron. hinges and all other utensils of iron, are of Brit ish manufacture? Whence comes it that Spain can regulate our flour market 1 These evils pro ceed from dwant of one supreme controling pow er in these States. They will all be done away by adopting the present form of Government. It will have energy and power to regulate your trade and commerce-to enforce the execution of your imposts, duties and customs. Instead of the trade of this country being carried on in foreign bottoms, our ports will be crowded with our own ships, and we shall become the carriers of Eu rope. Heavy Jut es will be laid on all articles which can be manufactured in this country; the manufactories of our country will flourish; our mechanics will lift up the.r heads and rise to opu lence and wealth." The mechanics of Boston, with Paul Revere at their.hcad, in January, 1788, held a meeting and resolved to support the new Constitution, be cause, should it be adopted, "trade and navigation would revive and increase, and employ and sub sistence be afforded to many of our townsmen, (by the protection of domestic manufactures) now suffering for the want of the necessaries of life," and that on the other hand should it be rejected, "the small remains of commerce yet left would be annihilated ;.the various trade's and handicrafts, dependent thereon decay ; the poor be increased, and many worthy and skillful mechanics compel led to seek subsistence in strange lands." These extracts clearly indicate that one of the-greatest benefits anticipated from the adoption of the Con stitution was its power to foster, create and pro tect the manufactures of the country, and they show that at that early period of our history, there was but one opinion on the policy of Protective Duties and of the power if the Constitution to levy them. If in 1788, the . wise forecast of the people led them to adopt a Constitution with this admitted power .of enacting discriminating duties. and of protecting the industry of the nation, would it not be subversive of the original intents of the founders of the Constitution, and foreign to its true spirit to deny to it this power, onto re fuse to exercise it for its destined purpose. And can the Constitution be more beneficially admin : istered than by enlArgin; the co:n:nerce, develop ing the trade, and Protecting the American Laborer and American Industry again . st Foreign SHUTTLE.Competition. Er The Globe, always an opponent of Mr. Clay, al ludes thus generously to the retirement of this dis tinguished Kitntuckian. It mays : The addrass of Mr. Clay, in taking leave of the Senate, was for the most part appropriate, grace ful, well tempered, and it was well received. His acknowledgement of obligation to his friends, and particularly the sensibility with which he recurred to his early history, and the kindness with which ho had been adopted by' Kentuzky—its long con tinued favor, aid the load of honors it had confer red upon him, seemed to come from the heart, and bad the expression of true eloquence. The Providence Chronicle of Saturday says, that every individual put in nomination for State officers by the "'People's Constitutional" party will be indicted, and adds, that no immediate cause for an outbreak need be apprehended, the citizens on both side!' seeming disposed to sustain order Bishop England died et Charleston, on the I Ith inst., in the. 56th year of hie age. - of blockade, and fort_ jog neutral vessels to trade therewith after having received notice of the blockade, under the penalty prescribed by the law of nations. The decree is to take efrztt within twenty days, as to any port in the United States north of the Gulf of Mexico, and In forty. five days as to vesscls coining from any port of Europe. The advicee from Galveston, contradict the re. mot of a Mexican invasion, and there Demos now to be little.doubt that the party which attacked San Antonio was a mere marauding expedition. The Texans, however, were stilLicaynotion, mg their preparations with a view to the invasion of Mexico. General Soatztavik.uti was invested with command of the main body of the Texani army, and was under marching ordessfor sputa point beyond the Rio Grand , . Thu only neat that had been received from the armed fleet fitted out by the citizens of Galveston was, Giat they had nut yet Mond the enemy, but were determith ed to continuetheir search to Nlatamor as, if they could not sooner gets light.
