We were impelled by curiosity to attend. for we thought that if any one could defend thu threesome and principles of Henry Clay, Governor Metcalf, his neighbor and friend, was the man. We felt is curiosity, theief.re, to hear his address; but as w too °Cm the case, our exrctations were doomed to be disappointed. We state candidly that we have tie ... seer listened . to a man so cumpletely unfortunate in his Assery aliusioa, aaclao tiresome in his style. fittiret cut by asserting that he came to the meeting spory With the intention of listenizg than of speaking. Tbbeassertion, Mr Bigham, who introduced him to the meeting, could have flatly contradicted; fur that gentle msn wrete heme that he had persuaded the Governor to come to this city expressly to make a sieech. Ho rhea stated that he had been to the Baltimore Con 'amide°, and was satisfied from what he had seen on This journey, and from the accounts be had received from the other delegates, that this was a great coon try!-+a glorious Rispublic—an opinion in which his nu dienaiseppeared entirely to coincide. After adverting to other matters, he referred to the deep interest rhatPennaylvanians felt in the protective system; and owed that Kentucky and ber statesmen had everstood by the interests of Pennsylvania, and were ever zealous in their advocacy of protection Oh! Mr Metcalf, what "a whopper!" Have you forgotten, sir, that awry Clay. the embodiment of whig principles, ea illioried'our law makers, just before leaving the Senate, NO to raise eke question of protection, which the %bought had been put to rest—to adhere to the misers '4' ads 28-per cent. duties of the Compromise Act, and tillutrint them that there was "no necessity of protec- Annjor protection." You certainly are aware of thii, a; well as the fact that John White, the right bower ..air Mr Clay, and a Kentucky statesman, voted against tbe'Teiifef 1842, which is considered so essential to our interests.

The American -name has been desecrated to give character to tia internees massacre, and under pre tence of defending the rights of native citizens, crimisi have : been committed that far exceed in atrocity the dark et the French Revolution. On 'erase suspicion a man is dragged frotehie house, cast into the midst oldie mob, where he is literally smashedby the ruthless ruffians, and his mangled, lifeless body is borne OM triumph by the murderers, and hung up in the shamblersas atrophy of their valor. his %hem say that the advocacy of American prin ciples had any tiring to do with the origin of these murders. The men who have incited the blood-seek ing mob to such fearful violence know better; they know that none hold in higher estimation the principles of American institu,iens, and theprivileges of American citizens, than the men that they have marked out fcr slaughter. Those of them who are adopted citizens have fled from the oppression of their native land, and sought refuge in a land that extends equal protection to all. They are as obedient to the laws, and as faith fully perform,the duties of citizens. as thenative born This wit say fearless of contradiction; and yet what is the language applied to them by this Native American party? Have they not been denounced in addressee, newspapers and speeches, as thieves and paupers, uil worthy to enjoy the privileges of American citizent,be cause too ignorant to understand them; as opposed to the institutions of our country, and reedy to lend their aid to subvert them. These, and a hundred other charges, equally false, they are constantly goaded by. But it is not the political incompetency of these foreign ers that the Native Americus/ object to. It is a more malignant and bigoted feeling. Their hatred springs from au intolerant relig ious spirit, cloaked under the false plea of protecting American interests, until it has acquired strength. and cast off all disguise. The lives of a dozen have been offered up to appease its first de mand for blood. It is painful to think of the scenes of devastation that may occur in every city in the union, if the good sense of the people of all denominations does notcrush this spirit of persecution, arson and mur der in its infancy. If it is suffered to progress, no reli gious sect is safe; those who escape now may be the next victims, and the conflngraton of their churches may be made to illuminate the scenes of their massacre. APPOINTMENT OF JUDGES.—We have been told that a petition is now in circulation asking the Gover nor to appoint Hon Walter Forward to the judgeship made vacant by the resignation of the Hon Charles She, ler. We have not beard whether Mr F. desires this appointment or whether he would accept it if offered to hint, but we can scarcely believe that he would.— No person can have a doubt of Mr Forward's eminent qualifications for the station, and on the score of com petency we believe his appointment would give satis faction to all parties. But there are other things lobe considered - in this matter, and the most important of them is, 'basil& F. has already rushed into the politi cal arena, and rhile he is waiting to receive a commis sion fnms a democratic executive, he keeps his talents employed in making inflammatory speeches in favor of the Whig candidate, and indirectly endorses all the low slang and base slanders that are heaped upon the democratic party. The people have always been fearful of having a s . "political judge . ' on the bench; there may not be any just grain& to suppose that Mr F. would be such, but the eagerness with which he volunteers his services in the war on the democrats, while he is ex pecting an appointment from the very party that he re vile., might cause many to doubt the propriety of a democratic Governor making such an appointment. Apart from the objections to Mr Forward's strong partizan feelings, it would certainly be insulting not only to the democratic members of the Pittsburgh Bar, but to all the eminent democratic lawyers throughout tbo State, to pass them over, and confer the appoint ment on one who is regarded here as the Ajax of the federal party. We think that Mr Fore ard has too much manly pride to solicit favors from those,whom he is so elo quent in denouncing, but if he should think it consist ent with his notions of honor to smite the democrats with one hand and pocket their patronage with the oth er, we hope Governor Porter will view his petition in a proper light, and select some other man for the sta tion, whose feelings are not so strongly enlisted against the party as to denounce it at the night meetings of the Clay Club. VIRGINIA Emscrtos.—Returns from all the coun ties but two are in, and they show that the contest has been a close one; parties stand bead and neck, and it is hard to tell which is ahead. The Globe says that the papers of both parties agree that the Senate stands as follows: Democrats 21, Whigs 11—demo cratic majority 10. The wbig papers fern up the I louse of Delegates, Whigs 73, democrats 61—whip majority 12. According to these footinp, the whigs will have a majority of two on joint ballot. But the Globe says we claim two—one democrat and one whig—who are set down in the whig column of delegates, and are added up in it to tnake it 73. The two we allude to are, the whig delegate from Mecklenburg (a strong democratic county,) who is pledged to rote for a dem ocratic senator, and the delegate from Logan county, who is the same person who was elected from that county last year, and was then set down by both parties as a democrat. We understand that the whigs claim him a "gain," because he is in favor of such a tariff as is advocated by a portion of the whigs, and perhaps some other of their notions. If the democrats are to lose all in Virginia who do not plumb the democratic line on all the questions that divide the twn*iset par ties, and the whigs are to give up none eilieVisagree with them, then it is not worth while for as to try to figure out a democratic majority on joint ballot in the State. But we shall set down the delegates according to their professions; and therefore we deduct the Meck lenburg .whig delegate, pledged gn vote for a demo- cratic United States Senator, and Mr. Farley, the democratic delegate elected from Logan, from the whig column of 73, which will leave it 71; and add them to the democratic column of 61, which will make it 63. This4eaves the whip only eight majori ty in the. House of Delegates; and, consequently. the democrats, as they have 10 majority in the Senate, will have 2 majority on joint ballot. If we were hard pushed, we would cliirriadr. Eger ton, (a- whig.) elected by the democrats from Ohio county.

One of the Native American party, Nathan Ram say, blind maker, Third street, above Brown, was mortally wounded, the ball entering his lungs. • ft was anticipated that an attack would be made on St. Michael's church, but about seven o'clock in the evening an hundred stand of arms were taken into it, and the place barricaded and defended by a large bo dy of men. - A letter to the Chronicle, dated May 7th, gives the following particulars of the riot on Tuesday : A meeting was held this afternoon, at the State House, at which Thomas NeWbold. Esq., formerly con nected with the Pittsburgh' Bar, presided, for the pur pose of expressing their indignationakt the outrages committed at the Native American assemblage on the 6th. Inflammatory and conciliatory speeches were made, and finally a resolution was passed to adjourn forthwith to the corner of Master and Second streets, Kensington; the scene of riot. The large mass fanned in procession and proceeded to the place of adjourn ment, a distance of two miles, when they were met by a renewal of hostilities. A boy of twelve years of age threw a brick into their midst. which created some confusion and was immediately afterwards followed by the discharge of fire arms. The crowd quickly dis perawl, to return &pin, however, with exasperated feelings, and an appetitejetimulated for the most dead ly retribution. Six citizens were killed by guns fired from neighboring houses, and severel were sounded. The crowd had singled out a house from which they. believed death had been sending his messeneers.— They broke in and laid violent hands on its inmate, an Irishman, who had in his possession a loaded pis tol and a supply of ammunition: he was dragged into the street, when one ,if the Aldermen attempted to rescue hi m by requesting permission to take him to prison. This was refused; he was dreadfullybeaten, prostra ted under the feet of this human avalanche and thus crushed to death, the blood having been forced from his mouth in his last struggle, in torrents. This did not end the damning tragedy. As a last effort of cruelty, he was suspended to a butcher's shambles, within view of bits earn door. I have not learned whether he had a wife or children, but it is supposed to be the case. At six o'clock, the military composing the Ist bri gade, were under way for Kensington, .where they should of right have been twenty-four hours sooner, and it isirobahle that their presence may deter the actors in this murderous acetic,. Since their passage up, the fire bells have sounded an alarm and the north ern part of the city is illuminated by the act of the in cendiary. As threats have been made throughout the day to burn the Catholic church and school house in that district, it is feared that the purpose is accom plished.

It is due to this excellent man that the public should be disabused of the erroneous impressions respecting the proceedings instituted by him against the editors of a newspaper in this city called the Aurora, in conse quence of which, they were sentenced to fine and im prisonment.-, it would be unnecessary to say a word on this subject, were it not that a paragraph has been going the rounds of the most respectable papers, by which, many intelligent citizens have been led astray It has been published far and wide, in such papers as the Philadelphia Inquirer and National Intelligon cer, that Judge Griet hadindicted en editor for calling llim an Ass. Now there was nut atany time,any reason sonable foundation fur this assertion. Mr Grier did not call the editor an Ass, nor did the editor call him an Ass The facts as sworn to were, that Judge Grier was in a barber shop,as is . his custom, getting shaved; the Kerber spewed bins a number of the Aurora, in which was an editorial laudatory of the bather's son, a colored student of Oberlin College, of which the Judge spoke in commendation. Immedia tely below the article of which be had just spoken, was one commenting unjustly as he thought, on a card of Mr Van Amringe (setting forth his poSition in re gal d to the Congressional nomination,) in which that gentleman was roughly handled,and charged with be incuncandid. This was read by this Jnage whilstthe barber was shaving him, &Odin a ti to of soliloquy he /emarked, that any ass could charge a Man with want of candor; that ha thought Mr Van Amiringe's card was candid to a fault. This remark was made to him self or to Mr Vashon, the barber, the witness Mc V. could not toll which. It appears toe that Judge Grier did not know the editors personally, but one them hap pened to be in the shop at the time and heard the re marks, although they were spoken* so low a tone as to be unnoticed by a gentleman who was close by, and thus the editors resentment gave rise to the libel which was a long tirade of abuse, representing the Judge as figuring in the barber shop as an arena for the display of his vulgarity. where be was in the habit of astonishing the barbers by the display . of his powers. and repre senting, him as a blustering bully and blackguard.- -This tow. coarse assault was followed by one still more vituperative, and excited the ludgele institute the prosecution.
