BAPlC.—There is one quality in -which HutAY CLAY certainly towers far above the tallest of his party—we moan boldness 'in avowing •bisopinions. To-be-sure, he has lately, as we believe, set forth ideas which he despises in his heart. Wo do slot thiak, for instance. ti.at HEP AT CLAY is opposed no the annexation of Texas—it is trio his letter gives lam a chance to come "beck bgen" to the support of *he measure, on a trivial excuse, which will be easily ofound—but we never can believe that HENRY CLAY • would have written that Texas letter except under the Advisement of his party friends; he surrendered, on this *question, his own opinions to please IVebster, and con ciliate (as he hoped) the New England States. But in the main Mr CLAY has infinitely more cou rage in avowing his notions than any other whig leader ----ithey need net attempt to appoint guardians fur him --4 e loves too well to figure before the "public eye," 'to soffer•bimself to be sheltered behind a "committer ' 100 the Bank question. too, Mr CI AT has not only klbeen bold, but be has been reckless, and even contu %marinas and stubborn. He disregards and contemns the tepeated verdicts of the people, against that hated nand dreaded institution. He will not learn wisdom drum experience—he is too proud and self important to yield his own prejudices to the expressed will of the 'people. In slate speech at Macon, Georgia, he said: "He was in favor of a BANK OF THE UNITED 'STATES All nations give us the example." -*mein, Mr Clay, at Charleston, S C., was equally • explicit. The "Courier," the whig organ in that city, •in noticing his speech, said: "Mr Clay assumed that Banks and the Banking ays• •:eta would continue to exist under the auspices of the States, an 4 thence inferred the necessity of a NA TIONA L BANK to REGULATE and CONTROL 'the system, and keep it from explosion and mischief. He also insisted on a NATIONAL BANK as necee sary to secure a National Currency," Ste. Once more, in his Raleigh speech, recently publish -red, we find the following : - "We-want a National Army, a National Navy, a '•liationd !Post Cffice establishment, National Laws ger:dating nor foreign commerce and our coasting trade, ABOVIC ALL, perhaps, we want a National Currency. The duty of supplying these National means of safety, convenience and prosperity, must be - executed by the general government, or it will re moan neglected and unfulfilled. .The several Btates can same re ewppig a national currency than they can provide armies, and navies for the national de fence. The necessity fur a national institution does not result merely from the existence of local institu tions, but it arises out of the fact that all the great -commercial nations of the world have their batiks. /England, Francs, Austria, Russia, Holland, and all Alm great Powers of Europe have their national banks. 'These then, are HENRY CLAY'S honest opinions of _ si-Bank, and be has adhered to them through every fortune, from the hour of Gen Jicisos's veto in 1832. His devotion to the project no longer wears the ap initmnce of generous constancy in support of a great maniere, but looks like dogged and sullen prejudice In favor of a scheme which all other men have abandon ed as impracticable and bad, or are ashamed and afraid to defend.

Notwithstanding the insulting charucter of some of the banners in the Native procession on the 4th, not a symptom of riot was any where exhibited—no, not even in the Catholic districts, where the route of the procession seemed studiously to be planned. The charitable and tolerant party representing on their ban ners members of the Catholic, church by hideous ser pents striking their fangs at Liberty and Washington, and other disgusting emblems. But perhaps the most singular inconsistency cf the Natives was, in making a ship after the fashion of the Ship Lawrence, pertly out of the timbers of the old frigate Alliance, one of the first armed vessels chartered by the Conti nental Congress; the land craft was duly manned and made a handsomeappearanee,intheir turn out. and ser ved lint a little to show their ignorance of history os well as of true American principles.

PHILAD£LPHIA RlOTi.—Scenes of outrage, mar• der and arson have again commenced in Philadelphia. As we read the horrible details, we blu3h fur our coun try and our kind. The civil authorities of Philadel phia have murder to answer for. On the heads of those who now conduct the municipal affairs of that city, and of those who have managed it for years must the bray) blame of these terrible doings fall. Had the mob spirit which showed itself at the burning of Pennsylvania Hall, a few year■ since, been promptly checked—had but two or three of the ring-leaders of that bell-incited band been shot down, the ment oet rages would probably never have taken place. Or if, at the outset of the late riots, the °Meets had acted with proper firmness, there would have been ne mur ders, no church-burnings. A single volley of balls fired into the mob, with a resolution manifested to per severe in that sort'of a corrective, svuuld have had the effect to quell these horrors in the outset. Much more will now be reqnired. This may be pronounced ton sanguinary—we do not think so—it was at last re sorted to, why should it net. have been at first? We cannot think that any man whose life was valuable to society, would be found in a mob like those in Phila. delgbia. Therefore we say the terrible alternative should have been promptly adopted nr The American is much concerned about a let ter which, it says, was received from Gov. Pout, or some of his friends. A letter from Mr POLK has al ready been published, on the Tariff. which the editor has most shamefully and scandalously garbled, in his paper of Tuesday. • Does he wish more food fur mis representation and calumny? Why does he not have the honesty to lay Mr Primes sentiments before the public in their proper form, before he demands other letters of his? WHT THE WHIGS IN THE SOUTH SUPPOHT CLAT. —The Richmond Whig, the Organ of Clay and Fre lingtmysen, holds 'this language: "The fact that Mr Clay is more of a free trade man than Mr Van Bums, is becoming generally known to the people of the South." And the Savannah Republican, the leading Clay paper in Georgia, says the following: "We deny that Mr Clay, or the whigs of Georgia, whose candidate he is, seek far the establishment of a protective tariff." This, now, is plain sailing. The Georgia man, when he penned the above, had just been listening to a harangue from Clay, and no doubt had just been reading his speech, where he tells his friends not to "raise tke question of protection." We like the honesty of this Georgia editor, and the candor of the Richmond Whig. Robert Gallaher, one of the company, was terribly beaten by the mob. The throng in front of the church increased: they were addressed by Grover, Levin. Ardis, and C J Jack, who besought them to spare the building. The rioters entered the house by a breach—the people begged of them to spare the church. Fire was soon seen to issue from the cellar, but it was extinguished. The church was then surrendered to a committee of 20, who. guard ed. The mob left it. At 5 u'clock a pacifying meeting was held in the street near the church. At 7 o'clock the military came and drove the mob down Q'teen street. Stones were thrown at these sol diers. They were ordered to chargebut the mcb with stood their bayonets. They fired a volley down Queen street—then a second. The order was not given till Copt Hill, of one of the companies, was thrown to the ground and his sword wrested from him. An elderly man shot in the body and lived but tei minutes. Another named Crozier, shot in the jaw and killed. James Lawson, James R Tully, and Mr Man ning wounded. Ha f past B.—The mob, armed with muskets, and two field pieces met at Wharton market and marched to attack the military. Cannon were soon heard. It was now evident that the military and the crowd had engaged in one of the most deadly of conflicts. Females were seen running. distracvd, through the streets, wringing their hands and u•tering the names of brother, husband, father, with the wildest gesticu lation. 11 o'clock, P. M.—Five wounded persons taken to the Hospital. Lyons, Susanbarger and Curter, are three of them. The military and the mob are fight ing with desperation, muskets rattle and cantions . roar, six soldiers have been killed, Captain Scott of the Grays, among them; Elijah Jester, nut of the suldiet st, THE WHIGS AND THE TAM/Ir.—Here is an "au killed. thentic" fact for the Clay Club.

The last shot was fired at the soldiers. A TKDERAL TRICK.—The whigs, afraid as ever to come out in their true colcrs, are resorting to a mean expedient to make partisans out cf men who are eith er opposed to CLAY, or are indifferent in the contest. Instead of forming CLAY 01 BANK clubs, as they ought i to do to be honest, the impudent impostors carry out Bills for the signature of men favorable to a " Tariff Club." and then, they parade the signers as enrolled under the banner of CLAY. We caution the friends of the Tariff against these devices—CLAY is no true friend of the Tariff—he staid in Congress till the Bill was about to come up, fighting for the Bank and Bank rupt Bills, and then "made tracks" for Ashland. He nor his sattellites are not to be trusted. HENRY CLAY AND THE TARIFF Extract from Mr Clay's Hanover speech, delivered 27th June, and reported in the National Intelligencer of July 13. 1840, as corrected and revised by himself. Speaking of the tariff, Mr Clay says: . "The question cannot be, ought not to be, one of principle, but of measure and degree. I ADOPT THAT OP THE COMPROMISE ACT, not because that act is irrepealable, but because it met with tbesanction of the nation. Stability, with mod erate and certain protection, is far more important than instability, the necessary consequence of high pro %action. But the protection of the Compromise act will be adequate in most, if not as to all, interests.— THE TWENTY PER CENT WHICH 1T STIPULATES , cash duties, home valuations, and tbs list of free articles inserted in the act for the panic ular advantage of the manufacturer, WILL IN SURE, I TRUST, SUFFICIENT PROTEC TION. Although they will amount probably to not i less than thirty pereent.—a greater amount of protec tion than was secured prior to the act of 1828, which no ora stands up to defend." POSTSCRIPT. LATER We take up the thread of the narrative at the polo where the Hibernia Greens left the church. Two papers issued by the Sheriff, one calling out the citizens, and another denouncing the mob as traitors and insurgents. In addition to those already named as wounded, was a lady of 18, and Capt Lyle's wife, who resides in Catharine et. The Ledger says: The present riot was commen ced by a desperate set of men. Native Americans were posted to guard the Church of St Philip against the attacks of these men, belonging tun(' party, actua ted by no principle, not even that of blind revenge, but moved only by a reckless disregard of all civil re straints, and rioting for the love of riot. We should like to know if the former rioters were not "desperate men," or were they gentlemen riot ers?. Afoaday, 9 o'clock. Military with two held pieces, one stationed in Queen street. Houses shattered with shot, a man named B Halseman found dead—was kil led in his own house by a grape shot in the head. Of the military, it is now said that 1 is killed 2 wounded. Of the mob, 9 have beentaken to the hospital. Two of Col Jones' men killed—of the Germantown Blues. An Irishman who made an impudent remark, in front of the Hall, Southwark, wasdmedfully beaten. Fresh *munition sent to the troops. 101 o'clock.—Great excitement prevails. - Terror has seised on all--business is at a stand--people are removing from near the church. The body of an old man named Farland claimed by his frks. A Man named Eiebbart Ellis, was killed in the fight. 2 o'clock, July B.—Everybody blaming Gen Cad wallader, no one knows why—all report his conduct differently. A meeting was held and the authorities asked to remove the soldiers. A police force is to be raised and take the place of the military at 5 o'clock. 34 o'clock.—The military are removed, and the crowd fill their place. The magistrates and commis sioners have the church; at their request Judge Jones has organised& court in presence of the crowd. Eve ry thing is quiet, and no disposition to break the peace is *lien. An accurate list makes the killed and wounded on both sides 23. The Exira Sessiox.—The New York Republic says: -- Notwithstanding the speculations of our own and other correspondents from' Washington to the contra ry, we are assured, from a source to us conclusive, that the president entertains no idea whatever of calling en extra session of Congress this summer; but that, on the contrary, he is opposed to such a movement, and deems it altogether uncalled for. The measure is strongly urged by Mr. McDuffie and other distinguish ed southern politicians— including, we believe, Mr. Calhoun—but the president does not recognise in the course they wish to pursue, such a policy as in his judgment will conduce either to the peace or the per manent welfare of the country. So it may safely be considered determined that Congress will not be re quired to assemble again before the time specified by the Constitution. Insurrection in Ike British West Indies—Martial Law Proclaimed at Dominica—Several Negroes Shot! The following is an extract of a letter received at Keefler's Reading Room, St John, N B. quoted in the New Brunswicker of July 2nd. Livraeoot, N S June 23d. Capt. McLeod ofthe Brig Nova Scotiaat Liverpool, just arrived in 61 days from Dominica, reports, that on the day he left, Martial law had been proclaimed, in consequence of a rise among the Blacks, about 300 being assembled near the town. One of the leading inhabitants had his horse cut down under him,- and was himself so severely wounded that his life was de spaired of. Several blacks had been shot down, and great excitement and confusion prevailed The outbreak was said to be occasioned by en order for taking the Census of the Island, the blacks heli-v -ing that it was with a view of making them pay for the hinds they had taken up and cultivated since they had been free. Capt. McLeod states that he would have been de tained for 15 had he not fortunately procured his clea rance just previous to the outbreak. Duel.-1 duel was fought opposite this City in Kentucky. on Wednesday evening last, with pistols, at 11 mice'. The challenging party was satsfied after the first shot, the bail having passed through hie hat and grazing the top of his head. The cause of this difficulty arose by the challenged party receiving from the other a correspondence, reflecting upon his char a..-ter 14 1 gentlemen, which he resented by caning the writer in presence of a respectable company. on the steps of the Henrie House, which event took place on Monday just before the dinner bells rung. Cia. Com. Horrible Murder in Boston —On Wednesday n i g h t h i s t , n heut 12 o'clock, a horrid minder was com mitted in Richmond street. Boston. Mr James Nor ton, in the employ of Mr Lull, (who keeps a stable and riding selviol in Mason street) got into an affray in a house in Richmond street, with a negro named Pe ter York. York first struck Norton with a stave. the latter then rushed into the street, followed by York, who afterwards Atabbefl him twice with a dirk knife, one of which blows reached deeply into the heart, the blade breaking in it and partly remaining there. Norton proceeded but a few steps before he fell dead. York changed his clothes i m mediately, with a view of escaping the consequences of the deed: but he was re cognized and arrestA soon after, and acknowledged the deed. A colored woman named Elizabeth Clark has also been arrested as an accomplice. York is 23 years of age, and resided in that part of Ann street called the '‘Elltick Sea."—Philp Times. The Kuickerbocker tells the following humcr nus and amnsing stop: 'A tr.-intern:in from IN'sw York, who had here in Bos ton fiir the purpose of collecting some money due him in that riry. was shout returning when he found this. one bill of one hundred dolhirs had been overlooked.

'Wel, squire, 'taint much U3O trying, I guess. I know that critter. You might as well try to squeeze ile out of Bunker Hill monument as to c'leet a debt n' him. But any how, what'll you give spos'n Ido tryT' 'Well, sir. the bill is ono hundred dollars. I'll give you— yea, I'll give you half, if you collect it.' "Greed, replied the collector, there's no harm in tryin, any way " Some weeks after, the creditor chanced to be in Boston, and walking up Tremont street. encountered his enterprising friend.
