And so it was with Itispeoplet of , ode Island. They acted as they had artirthsrent right to act in their icde , pendeottiod eovareignscapacity. They first held itcontrention of delegates chosen by the people; tbat conyention called another to form a constitu tion; a onnstitntion was formed and submitted to the people and was 'accepted by a majority of her adalt population; when the people passed upon the I constitution they pwised upon all the ordiminaty steps by which it was brought into existence; when they adopted the constitution they adopted the manner, inode, and the whole process used in its establishment. It has thus become obligatory as' , the e•organic law of that Commonwealth.

Harrison, if he replied at all, would declare "suchopinions as would suit the views of his 4/confidential commit= tee," and that they would of course be in favor of a National Bank—be was admitted by all to be a bank.man. But, JOHN TY Lza, it was known, had but a abort time previous been one of the m( ponents of an institution of and it was believed that I mained unchanged. To al on this matter, the ',Pittsbl addressed him, and we nuw Tyler had prepared an answer, in which he candidly admitted the right of all citizens to call for his sentiments on public ques tions, and honestly declared that he still held the opinions he had ever entertained. that a "Bank of the United Stales wae unconstitutional, and that he could not sanction the incorporation of one Without an alteration of the Constitution." The letter was submitted to a nenaber Of the Whig leaders, and they had it suppressed, fearing that its anti:bank sentiments Would iajure their cause in a city so - mush under the itt fLuence of-the rag barons as , is Pittsburgh. This information we had i.ume flays since. from a New York peper, and the following extract from a letter of Eimer A.Wrse to hie constituents, published in the Madisooian of the 26th, confirms it beyond a doubt , — Speaking of President Tyler's course on the Bank Question, Mr, Wise says: _, "Not to go back to 1819 and to the . 4.,,,! ry of Mr. Tyler in'Congres% in .he tr , in the 3enate,the true history Ott the :: - ititif`rmitt-rthrk . . .'. , session of 1839 and 1840 Mr. Tyler add - a . me, in Washington, a letter from Williamsbu i.

Besides, the chief movers in the matter of a workingman's ticket were intelligent whigs. whom the .Gazette slanders vilely in asserting that they were to be used by the Democrats in defeating the federal ticket. But there is another feature in the Ga zette's article which should arrest the at tention of the people, and arouse them to their duty at the coming election.

At the last election, the dem ' ocrats carried the State by 23,000. Wha has 'aappened since then to weaken them? Have the squabbles of ,the Clay men and Scott men irjured thelemocratie party? —The Gazette will net say so. And yet they propose, by means of the next elec tion, to decide the character of the State g party government for the next "ten yearsl," This we believe is no unimportant expres sion, but the determination of the federal party unwarily declared by the Gazette. Let the people look to it. Tragical and nearly tratal Occurrence. .12 double escape! POwerftd and desper ate effect of Love!— To-day about noon, the sudden report of a pist,ol. attended by the shrieks of females was, heard in the vicini ty of our office, followed in an instant, by -the appearance of a woman leaping from a balcony in the second story of a house on Commerce, between Little and Wide Wa ter streets, occupied 16 a boarding house for seafaring persons; by a widdw lady, named Mary Ann Anderson. The facts connected with the case are substantially as follows: It seems that. an Italian, named Michael Francis, recently sailaliaker of the revenue cutter Taney, had forisome time entertain ed a strong attachment for Mrs. A., with whom he had been al boarder for several years. She had repeatedly rejected his ad dresseb. Francis had several times decla red that.she should never marry any other man than himself; and to jealously appre hensive was he that she might become the wife of another. that Of late he was seldom absent an hour from the house. This morning he 'again renewed the declaration of his attachment, and Mrs. A. firmly expressed to him her determination oevet to 'become his 'wife. He was then pacing the room in an agitated manner; Mrs. A. was .seated in a corner, near the window engaged in sewing; opposite, but a few feel distant, sat her A. niece; and beside el4t• • gra. was a vacan chair . -Francts.sod: dimly Bested _irons f, near Mrs4A, and . - . ... ,sata, 'Mary Ann!' at e same instant, pre- Benting it her hlad a*mall riliebarrel pock, 0,148691,- he fired.

Sp. Times ] PRENIRDITATF.D RfOT AND ARSON AT MANATUNE; Constable Shot•—lu'orrnation was received by the Sheriff on Friday, that an attempt would be made that night by a party of hand.loorn weavers from the city. to burn down Kemptoo's mill at Mana yunk. The Sheriff in consequence of this infor mation, sent two or three officers to apprize the citizens of that torough of the .fact, and adopt mPasures to prevent the outraie,;_ apd secure the depredators. Very soon the I.tiftrate . ^.lown was or ganized, and together with ali t : ftiaittprough vol unteers, prepared for the attack: . All the n.en employed in the mill were armed; small parties were also dispatched in different directions, to give notice of the approach of the weavers: About two o'clock on Saturday morning, a hndy of some thirty men were seen by rho scouts stationed bel w, approaching the mill. They were at first taken for friends, but the mistake was soon discovered, and scarcely had this been made kn wn, before they were firedoon by the assallonts,and Mr. Collins, the Manairaink consta ble, who had charge of the party, severely wound ed inflie necit. Several of the other men were theft hats, some got shot in teceived a shot in the arm, and antilli'4.llleabin skinned:: They fired baca in relgrh,,l4 - almarently without much if any -efft et. tfieWeaversfinding that their project was - kitowm-reWrped to the city. T he ,tottrtvia this contemplated villany, we hear. was that the mill in question has been manufsc titriknocis met) as the hand weavers *ere in the practiee,-of oinking. They therefore determined thus, efloctutilly to stop off the water power! Hang such rtscals! The very mill they wanted to destroy, we understand, has now thousands of yards mote goods than they know what to do with, from giving.employment to numbers of men who might otherwise starve. And yet thrirc.ity weevers were not satisfied.
