dreadful riot and'disturbence occurred in the
city on Monday last, in the neighborhood of South
and Seventh 'Streets. A numbelof colourdinen,
• -amounting to nearly. 15.99, Were formed in: pro
' cession, with marshals , *pliers, Arc., for the pnr
pose of celebrating the' Temperance cause; and
also 'the anniversary of ths Slave Emancipation
in the British 'West Indies, Some of the him.:
nets were-said to be very inflammatory !in' their
'character and had little to do with Temperance.
The affray-was first commenced by some. boyel
or lads interfering with the procession,•andthrow
ing stones at the colored people, who retaliated:
and a_gerierill fight wasthe result. Men, women
andihildre,n were mingled in it, brick-bats - flew
in' showers. and re:untidier, of persons, of both
colors, were iseriouslyof no fatally wounded.—
The-whole procession was thrown into twain
, :lion, this banners beaten and torn toßieces, and
several terrible struggles• took, place, when the
black" were for Ced td` retreat for safety to
' their house's. The mob did not rest here, a num
ber of dwellings were_ tier:United, the doors and
virindiiWe beaten in, and in many instances, the
inmate" severely arid, dangerously wounded.
The Mayor, who had increased his, force-by
swearing in an additional number of poliCemen,
was on the ground :early, and exerted himself
With the most pmiseworthy energy and.pilimpti-, , ,
tide., A number of the ringleaders , wete arrest:
ed ; aid- committed. Numerous attempts were
made, on the part of the mob, to - rescue those who
'had been arrested, and several blacks, under the
protection - of the officers; were badly beaten. On
Men* night, at about 9 o'cicick,' flames were
:disaivered issuing from a' building- in Lombard
below Seventh Street, called Smith's Beneficial
Hall. This building was erected ati the cost of
a. wealthy colored, than, and' the impression was
that it was destined for Abe Purpose of.'ittiolition
Associations, so it was
_accordingly doomed to
destrtiction—andin a short time was completely
.enveloped in flames: Whilst this building, was
burning. an attack was made on the colored

it *as broken into anakji4o fired. On neither
of these buildings did the firemen throw any wa

eight volont3er.companies of his division, and held
them readyoumed and equipped, to assist the civ

cessary. In addition to these, a body oLmarines

' order.

A neliker inuffeliave blacks who were peaces;

this mob. Two poor fellows, who were on their

Tea Acomaix.—During the past week an ex
amination into the progress of the pupils under the
superintendence of Mr. Charles W. Pitman,,was
held stabs Pottsville Institute. We regret, ex
ceedingly, thatfinivoidable business deprived us of
the pleasure a wit:teaming' the examination,. the
unore:so as we!understarkhat it was very inter
eating and 'gratifying to all who were present.
We learn that the evidence of their improvement
was in the higitest degree creditable, not only to
themselves, bu i -to their talented and competent
preceptor., 0 the evening succeeding the exam
ination, the stadents, pursuant to invitations, gave
a gratuitous exhibition to the citizens and their

eretitirsOtne / the principal scholars. The au
dience was tan sualli large—the orators did theta
selves great cre i_ . y„and the whole affair passed off
happily and siltdactorily to all Who were engaged
'in it. The roam, as well as the stage appropriated
for the speak6rs, was beiatifully and tastefully
decor i aied. The ladies, who had assisted .in the
decorations, and who attended.numerously on the
night of extrbilion, seemed delighted iamb the treat
which their : ye l ling friends had' prepared for them,
and by their presence gave an additional charm
and zest to the entertainment. It might be con
sidered invidiJus, were we to notice the individu
al efforts of either speaker, arid as none of them
tailed, we Jain! close the paragraph by saying that
all nobly sustained themselves.
Taa Is OM Tritkonv.—That portion of the
working men -- engaged in the recent turnout, have
at last seen tile folly and .expense of turnouts,
and have generally evinced, a disposition to re

of those whcihad good situations, cannot now
find employment, and ; they wander about
cursing in their hearts, those advisers who in
duced them 4 this ruinous step. 14 - early all , the
ringleaders, who hairs not been arrested, have ab
sconded —atut we ate. -pleased to learn, that. the
operators geli i rally manifest a disposition not to
employ any who took a prominent part in the
late difficulties.' This they are bound to do in
justice to theMselves as well as to theinnocent per

The movement his been:productive of great 1.

_ LOVI4OII Psoir.E.—The Tariff Bill which
passed the Home of Bepresentatives for the pro
tection of Amencimlndustry, levies a duty of one.
dollar and seventy-Pe cents per !on on foreign
Coal, sufficient to protect thi,interests of , this re
gion, and secure to the laborer good wages.
Against thin Bill the Hon. Peter Newhard, the
representative from this district yoted. The
Compromise Bill which is now , in operation and
which Mr.N. voted_for and is in favor of keeping
in operation, leiies a duty of only ofily cents per
l'ton on Foreign Coal. In the mean time our coun
try is flooded with the foreigri article, while , our
works have almost ceased, and hundreds of out
citizens ere wandering Add the county idle.
Notwithstanding this la4entable state of affairs, 'a
Locofoco meeting convenedett Orwigaburg about ,2.
-weeks ego, and passed a resolution approving of the
vote of Mr. N. against thitiOill—and the Locofo.
co Free Trade paper of this borough declares that
the 'proceedings "were of the right stamp—and
were conducted with singular unanimity." Now,
fellow.citizens, such conduct certainly evinces great
love for the ts dear people !! " It is; however,
in character with all their proceedings.—With
their lips they profess to be the friends of the
working man—but by their acts they absolutely
grind him to the earth.
'Fns Lean AND Terme is amusing
to hear the Lociis throughoutthec iuntry reproach
ing the Whigs fur the present connection between
these two bile, and asking them why they do not
separate them, We Would ask them who formed
this Connection in the first instance! -and who has
always opposed it I Is it riots well, known fact,
that the Locos, joined to the Southern Free Trial&
ists, were instrumental in first creating itl didnot
every one of thein vole for that provision which
caused the distribution to cute as soon as duties
should exceed 20 per cent., end was it not oppoa- .
ed from the beginning by the Whigs! Although
they are themselves the cause this connection,
they now , use it as a paltry excuse for theirimmi
ti to'a Tariff. We do not believe . that a iepara._
lion would 'be productive of any benefit to the na
tion—a desire to gain favour with the Loco. has
induced John Tyler to endeavour to sustain the
Compromise Bill by opposing this measure, end ,
we believe that he will veto it, comeln what shape
it may. The questionlpow before the country is,
who shall rule!
. the People, or their servants!
Shall the abused power of one man condemns na
tion to Buffering ind distress! or shall the irresis

eight out of the twenty-four Congressional Dis

The beneficial effects-of such a measure could

which have been from time to time contemplated.

a terrible budget was let loose! ! The opening

state of the .'troubled waters" from whence it
proceeds? No man can tell—and it is p i erhaps
better not to say too much about it for fear of pro
voking another eruption, besides the exceding
danger of venturing too near the dreadful paler.
It is said of a certain fellow, named Iludibras,
that—
"For rhetoric. he could oot ope

and by substituting—(what shall we say 1) "bil
lingsgate" for "rhetoric?' and "oath" for .Irope,"
(although the, metre would su ff er) in the above
couplet, it might be applicable, to the Knight of
the Budget in last Saturday's Emporium.! But,
Mr. Bannan, a consideration of the canons posi

bras, he is so vulgar, and proceed, that as afore
said;in consideration of the curious position in
which these Committeemen. now •stand before
the public, don't you, feel very sorry- for them ?
I am sure I do, and so ought every good man.
Consider the explosion of last Saturday--the step
between than and the "winding up of affairs" is
not very great. Are yeti not afraid that they
may lay violent Eu - Ids on Ihemseloes after laying
them so violently on others ? They are in a bad
way, and.' would in "all goodness and charity re
commend a change of air—there is locomotion
enough in the United States, and as a certain
cure for conscious guilt, and all "such thick com
ing fancies," I would advise a 48 hours trip at 30
miles an hour due west, and to be entered upOn
forthwith—where iiiey might live and_ flourish
'again, and once-more assimilate with , mankind 2

(Rooks) can expect to be happy; there they might
also build up a new little'"Emporium" to scatter .

I would say among the "dear people," for such,
they would be, of course,, and its little-columns,
no doubt, would be bountifully replenished week

would just observe, that the Emporium, albiet a
knowing journal, one which loves the dear peo

deference ; still somehow, in the infinitude of its
wisdom, and contrary to other vulgar opinions,
it seeins - to consider - all working men as perfect
Saints, and all Coal dealers and merchants here
as the veriest of rascals and , rogues. _ Now it
might by some possibility have occurreeto. that

might remain to interrupt the friendly regard, and

Ma. TILER AND EMI VETossr—ln the Decla
ration ,of Independence the flrsi specification in
the long list of grievances and villeins which that
paper recapitulates, asz grounds ef resistance to
the authority of the British King, runs thus :
hire has refused his assent 16 laws the most
wholesome and necessary for the public good."
The possession of. a powei' is one thing; its
proper exercise is another. The • President, by
the authori . ty vested in Itim,.,inay undoubtedly
use the Veto; but he is responsible for any ablis'•
es of that power. It will not do to say that he
must go unquestioned under the shield of a spe
cial prerogative. Mr. AD iws, if reported rightly,
twent so far as to say in the House, that the Pres
ident, if he chir,so, might veto a bill for no other
cause than the color of the ink with which it was
Written. If the mere question of power 'tw re
garded, this -remark may be'trtie enough—but
what power was ever given to a public officer to
be :used capriciously,- - or from motives of vin
dictiveness, or under the influence of corrup
tion 1' ' - ' -
SLICK
Such is not the question to be considered: The
President is to be deemed, if snly,constructivelr
and by way. af_compliment, to be a rational man
,under the guidince of reason and patriotic, feeling.
'ln case of a blind axe - refs° of the Veto he cannot
look for justification inothe fact that he possesies
the constdutional'right to reject a bill passed by
Congress. The right was entrusted to him to bo
exercised - for the, general good—yet, rarely to be
exercised at all, since Congress may be suppo
ed to consult the general good also arid to bo
able to know what measures may best advance
, .
In' reference to the Revenue _Dill now pending
in Congress, the warmest advocates of the veto
power will hardly contend that such a bill affords
el proper occasion for its use. If there be any
class of measures particularly withtn the province
of Congress to dispose of more othdrs, the
refdring trrreviniie belongs especially
to such a class. Poi-Revenue Bill provides
that the customs shilll* looked to for wants of
the Treasury, and it. takes' care that duties suf
ficient for the purpose. shall be laid. It further
provides that the Land revenue - shall gd to the

dent interpose. to defeat such legislation' as this!
.N °thing imconstitutionali iii proposed ; nothing
to infringe upon the functions of the`` S secutire ;
nor is there any ground for the charge of hasty
legislation. *The two leading features of the, Re
