JjNo paper was issued from this Office last week, in consequence of a large amount of Job printing, &c. with which we were then crowded, and which would admit of no delay. V regret the necessity which compelled us io make the omission, at the present interesting period of our political affairs. We are happy, liowerer, to state, thai we have made such a clearing out, thai it is not likely thai we will he obliged again to disappoint our friends dur ing this Presidential campaign. Adjournment. The Loco foco members of Congress, hare agreed, in caucus, to adjourn on Monday the J 7th of June. The Resolution for adjournment, has already passed the Senate, so that the House will only have to act upon it. Captain Tyler and Annexation. Great excitement prevails in the political cir cles, in consequence of Capt. Tyler having or dered several Regiments of our Blanking troops, to the borders of Texas, as well as a large de tachment of our Naval force to proceed to the Gulf of Mexico, to watch the movements of the Mexican Government. Mr. Tyler's object in doing this, was evidently to ferce Mexico into some warlike demonstration upon the territory of Texas, and thus plunge us into a war with the Jtiraier country, for the purpose of securing ihe .ratification of the Treaty now before the Senate, and to enhance the chances of. his re election to the Presidential office. An act like this is entirely unworthy the Chief Magistrate of the Republic, and if any virtue or patriotism is left among- the majority of ihe lower House of Congress, he will be impeached for a gross . .misdemeanor in office. Baltimore Conventions. No less than three National Conventions will he held in Baltimore on Monday next. First, The Regular Loco Foco Convention, which will nominate Martin Van Buren, lor the Pres ft)eucy. Second, The Tyler Convention, which ;iiif- course will nominate John Tyler. And :$Third, The Mormon Convention, which will nominate Jo Smith, if that important personage ileal res to enter the course with his loco foco brethren. The united power of the Whigs will l.e concentrated qn Mr. Clay, in opposition to all these nominees. None can doubt the result. The Monroe "Lyre." RafTeriy of the Monroe " Lyre," in humble imitation of the great representative of Satan on earth, Amos Kendall, is trying what baseness he can be guilty of, and how much he can ma lign and traduce the characters of some of our ablest and best statesmen. In his mendacious sheet of Thursday a week, under the head of " The Coon Nominations," he has half a column of ihe stale and worn-out slanders against Hen ry Clay, which have been made to figure so conspicuously in nearly all the Loco Foco pa pers of the Union. All the vile and contemptible lies, which the sapient -editor could remember are called into requisilion to grace, his leading article on the subject of the Peoples' Nominations at Balti more, and paraded with as much pomp as if they were wctoai.d true. This is so character istic, however, of loco foco warfare, that we can hardly look for any thing different from their or gans. Their editors have become so inoculated with lies, (by reading the creations of each oth ers prolific imagination) that it would be quite as easy, or perhaps easier, for the Leopard to change his spots, the Hyena his savage nature, or the Ethiopian his colour, than for them to write or publish the truth. There is but one shade of distinction between them; and that is in the power they possess to originate these base calumnies. WhiUl some, with superior minds, pour them fourth with all the rapidity of steam motion ; there are others, who have no creative genius, and are obliged to appropriate to their own use the foul inven tions of their co-workers in evil. Of this latter class is Rafferty. His pigmy intellect cannot raise to the importance of ori ginating any of the thousand-aud-one slanders which he is continually publishing against Hen ry Clay, and other great men. Hence he is obliged to retail, at second and third hand, the calumnies perpetrated by his masters in lying, Amos Kendall, Francis P. Blair & Co. Publishing these charges, as Rafferty does, with a full knowledge of their falsity, he is morally as guilty as if he had originated them. But this, we are led to believe, is considered a small matter by him. From the manner in which he gives them publicity, ho evidently glories in his acts. It is a strange kind of glo rification, however. We have heretofore heard of men rejoicing in various kinds of evil; but it has been reserved, for the present Presiden tial campaign, to exhibit to the world a specta cle like this. A man exulting in his wicked efforts to rob a patriot and statesman of the es teem of his fellow-countrymen, and of the lau rels he has honourably won. Conduct like this can but redound to the confusion, defeat, and infamy of the person or party employing it. The Nominations. The nominations, so harmoniously and unan imously made at Baltimore, on the lsl instant, are every where received with the greatest pleasure and unanimity. Hundreds of meet ings have already been held in the various ci ties and towns, from which we have heard, to ratify the doings of the Convention, and in eve ry instance, there has been but one voice, and thai was for Clay and Frelirighuysen. The nominations of these two excellent men are re ceived by the people, even beyond our most sanguine expectations. We were prepared for unanimity but such perfect hatislaction and harmony as has every, where been evinced m favor of our nominees, we could not have an ticipated. There is also but one opinion, among our friends, as to their election. They look upon their success as beyond a doubt. Our only business now is to see by how large a ma jority we can elect them. To that end our friends in other parts are up and doing and it becomes us to follow their example. By pro per exertion, we can poll at least five hundred voles in Monroe, and from three io four hundred in Pike, for our Candidates. Let us then re solve to do it. Theodore Freliughuysen. Our candidate for Vice President is a man, whose name has been lung and favourably known to the public. He is descended from a Revolutionary ancestor, and on the plains of New Jerse)', the battle-ground of our War of Independence, has drank deeply of the spirit of civil and religious liberty. He is in every sense of the word, a statesman, patriot, and christian. In another column, we give a short sketch of the history of himself and fawily, which will be read with interest by all. We shall continue, from time to time, to give ac counts of his life and character, so that before the election cornes on, our readers will be as well acquainied wilh him, as are the people of his own New Jersey, where he is known, es teemed, and beloved by all. Our party, and the country generally, has been truly fortunate in his selection for the second office in the Nation. General Joseph IHarkle. The people are daily becoming better ac quainted with the character of this excellent man, and Whig nominee for Governor. In this section of the State, in consequence of his having lived a retired life since the late War, his name as but Utile known previous to the 4th of Mircb. But since his nomina tion, the people hare examined the history of their country, and find the name of Markle in scribed on 8omi of its most brilliant pages. His old friends and neighbours, have also come out nobly, and testified to his worth and capac ity. We are glad to notice, too, that since the Baltimore nominations, the name of Markle is proudly associated with those of Clay and Fre linghuysen. Tjiey are a glorious trio, whom the people will delight to honor next fall. The First Fruits. The first fruits of the splendid victory which the Whigs of Connecticut recently achieved over loco focoism, have already been reaped. On Thursday a week, the Legislature of that State, went into an eleclion for United States Senator, which resulted in the re-election of that able advocate of our principles, J. W. Huntingdon. The vote stood for Huntingdon, 111 ; for all others 86. Whig majority 25!!! A glorious result. A similar one may be looked for in Virginia, as soon as the Legislature meets there. The "Lyre" Again. Rafferty, in his " Lyre" of Thursday last, has another borrowed lie, entitled .' How can any Christian vote for Henry Cay," for which he is indebted to that beautiful specimen of a Lo co Foco print,jhe Easton Democrat & Argus. It is a bold, blasphemous production ; such as no gentleman or christian could write, and such as no decent man or editor would copy. It charges Mr. Clay, with murder, and nearly ev ery other moral depravity. Further notice, or comment, is unnecessary. The freemen of the Union will take care, next fall, to repel this falsehood, in common with all ihe others which have been heaped upon the head of " our coun try's favourite." Bloody Riots. Philadelphia, has been the scone of one of the most bloody and atrocious outbreaks of pop ular fury and violence which has ever disgraced an American city. The City and suburbs, are now occupied by a large force of troops and armed soldiers, under the command of Major General Paiierson,and will remain so until per fect quiet and order are once more restored. The "difficulties commenced on Monday the 6th inst., at which time a meeting of Native Amer icans, was disturbed and fired upon, by a num ber of Irish Roman Catholic's. From lhat day the disturbances continued, until the Military took charge of the City. Upwards of 100 hou ses have been burned, as also St. Michael's and St. Augustine's churches, two of tho fin est Catholic edifices in Philadelphia. Be tween fifteen and twenty persons have been killed, and -nearly one hundred maimed and wounded. Of the number killed, only two were Irish, the others were all Native Ameri cans. On Monday evening of last week, eve ry thing was quiet, but the milivary were still on duty, and were to continue so as long as the slightest danger existed. For more detailed accounts of the Riois, see another column. P. S. The Riots are entirely suppressed, but the military still continue on duly. A number of persons have been arrested, charged with having participated in the murders and the burnings. A Resignation. We learn from the Philadelphia Forum, that Francis W. Hughes, Esq. State Senator, from the District composed of Schuylkill, Carbon, Monroe and Pike counties, has resigned his seat. Mr. H. was elected last fall, by a large majority, over Moses W. Coolbaugh, and was one of the ablest and most active members of ihe Senate durins the last session. Unlike some of his fellow-members, he was actively alive to the best interests of the Stale ; and hence one Winter, at Harrisburgh, surrounded by a majority of loco foco Senators and Repre seutatives, who looked to nothing hut their own private interests, was enough for hun. The Virginia Victory. Returns have been received from every coun ty in Virginia, and the Richjnond -Enquirer, (Loco) concedes lhat ihe Whigs will have 84 members on joint ballot, to 82 for their par ly giving the Whig's. a majority of TWO on joint ballot. Notwithstanding this result, which is admitted by the loco-foco organ of Virginia, the Monroe "Lyre" of Thursday a week, claims a loco foco majority in the Legislature. Raf ferty might at least try and tell ihe truth whilst publishing election returns, Falsehood in that, at least, can do him no god, Glorious News. Tho Whig Tariff of 1842 has been stisiained, and the effort of the Loco Foco destructives, in Congress, io destroy it, most signally re buked. Mr. McKay's Bill, which was intend ed to supersede our present excellent Tariff, was on Friday a week,- laid on the tabic, in the House of Representatives, by a vole of 105 ayes to 99 nays. The Whigs and a few locos, among whom was our representative, Mr. Brod head, voted in ihe affirmative. But one Whig, from Georgia, voted with the nays all the rest were locos. The BUI being laid on the tabic, il will require a vote of two-thirds to take it up again, which can not be had this session, and before another session commences, fh people will speak in thunder-tones fri favour of Pro tection to American Industry, and its champi ons, Clay and Frelhghtyscit. ICommuiiicaied. As the attention of the public at present is happily turned to tho cultivation of ihe noble and delightful science of Sacred Music, I have thought it might be somewhat useful io furnish a kind of help to ihe ready knowledge of the key-note, that puzzle io the tyro. While pat ent notes, otherwise termed, blockhead notes, wore in vogue, tho necessity was not felt of an intimate acquaintance with the scale. But since lhat clumsy contrivance to keep laziness in countenance, and io delude ignorance into the belief that it knows something, is discarded with us may it be forever wo feel the need of a thorough knowledge of the order of the in tervals, the places of ihe letters on the Man", and the place of the Key-note "n connexion with the different Mguatures. This last diffi culty may be conquered by committing to mem ory the following lines : The major scale is natural in C ; Sharp F transposes it a fifth to G ; When F and C are sharp it falls to D ; When F, C, G, are sharp, A is the key ; When F, C, G, and D, are sharp the key is E. The tonic is in F when B is flat ; When B and E are flat, B flat's, the tonic ; When B, E, A are flat, E flat's the ionic ; With B, E, A, D flat, A flat's tho tonic ; Note. Key-note and Tonic are synony mous terms, and signify one, or the basis of the scale. Each signature of the major scale may bo ap plied to a corresponding key in the minor scale, henco called the relative minor to the major key of the same signature. A Member of the Stroudsburg Class.

GORDON, TresU. Edwix Shoehakeu, Sec. The Mon. Theodore Freliughuyscu. The Newark Adverliser, as this gentleman's name is before his fellow citizens as a candi date for ihflir suffrages, gives a brief sketch of his previous history. He is descended from ihe Rev. T HKODORUS J. FltEHNGHUVSEIf, who emigraied lo this country from Holland in 1720 and sealed in the county of Somerset, New Jer sey, lie had the pastoral charge of the Church at Millstone, and of other neighboring parishes He is said lo have been a ''rent hlesiimr lo !the Reformed Dutch Church of America. He was an able, evangelical and eminently sue icessful preacher. He left five sons, ministers, and two daughters married to ministers." One of his sous, the Rev. John Frelinghuysen, was also pastor of ihe same churches, and died in 1754. A monument still remains to his mem ory in Hie grave yard at Somervilla. Hia son. Gen Frederick Frelmghuysen, (ihe father of uie present biiancellor) was born in 1753, and when only tweniy-two years old was senl by New Jersey lo the Continental Congress which place he resigned in 1777. He received a large share of the confidence of his fellow cifizens, and after serving in many State offices, was elected to ihe United States Senate in 1793, which office domestic dunes constrained him to resign in 1796. He was afterwards ap pointed Major Geiieraj pj Penusyjvarija, and. Ne.w Jereey, and rendered important military services to his country, lie raiiKca among ins ablest and purest citizens of his Stair, and died; in 1804, beloved and lamented by his couniry and hi friends. He left three sons, of whom Theodore, (ihe candidate for the Vice Presi dency) only survives. He was 'born at Millstone, Somerset county, in New Jersey, in 1787 and is consequently fifiv-seven years of age. He graduated at Princeton College in 1804. The Hon. Samu el L. Socthard, Thomas H. Crawford, Gwor Chambers, Jorph R. Ingersoli and President LindleyT of Nashrille University, were amn his class-mates. He studied law with the tai Richard Stockton, and was admitted in I80S. He soon distinguished himsnlf at the bar, ami abont 1814 was appointed Prosecutor of th Pleas for Susses county, and in 1817, he Attorney General of the Slate an office i'r which he was eminently qualified, and the du ties of which be fulfilled for a space of iwe.lv. years, wilh distinguished ahlliiy. It u sani that the character which he had then acquired) for integrity, and his ferid eloquence, enabled him to exercise an almost tmlimited sway ortr the Juries which he was called upon to address. Ii182&he was elected1 to a seat upon tin? bench of the Supreme Court, vacated by the resignation of Judge Roasell, which he declined He continued to acl as Attorney General until 1829V when he wta elected to ihe- Senate nf the United Slate, His coorse, during the mx years he occupied a seat is that body, in known io the country at large.

His views ire liberal and enlight ened: he is beyond the control of mere selfish, or partizan influence and lo no one could the great interests, of the country be more safely iu tius'ed. Tremendous Riotx, EcslruZion of Property, and Loss of Life ! The Northern Liberiies for some days past has been the scene of one of ihe mo.tl sanguina ry riois that ever disgraced this country. There had been Mime ill .feeling in that district, for Borne lime, between the Catholics and Protect ants, concerning the use of ihe bible in Common Schools. There had also been an effort tt break up a " Native American" meeting on Fri day last. But the immediate cause of blood shed was a " Native American" meeting which assembled in thai neighborhood on Monday af ternoon. At this meeting a fight arose between two men, which soon extended to other, and. finally led in the contest between the Irish auiL Native . Americans. Fire-arms were soon: brought into use, and 2 or 3 were killed and a. number wounded. The disturbance couiiuuud. until after midnight. Continuation of the Riots Twenty-Nine Hou ses Burned Seven Persons Killed and Many Wounded. From the United States Gazette of Wednes day, we extract the following: A meeting of the Native Americans was held in the afternoon of Tuesday, in Independence Square. A prop osition to adjourn till Thursday afternoon wa-t voted down. Most of those present, moved in a body to Kensington, (at the corner of Sec ond and Master,) and proceeded to organize a meeting, but they had scarcely nailed up their flag, when a number of boys made an attack upon the Hibernia Hose House. A number of shot were then fired from houses in the vicini ty, towards the meeting, and the Native Amer icans, after dispersing for a momem, rallied, and attacked the Hose House, took out the car riage, ran ihe hose off the reel, and then broke the apparatus up. An old tender, the property of the Washington Hose Company, which wai also in the house, was broken up likewise. I Iter Native Americans then (between four and five o'clock,) took possession of the Market House, and for the next three hours, the shnist were fre quent from the homes in its western viciniy. Men were heen lying upon the roofs of a row of houses fronting the Market ; and in every place of concealment near the same place, others were occasionally discovered. We give below the list of killed and wounded so far as could be ascertained About five o'clock, another aiiack was ma.d. upon the hose house, and a large new be fo.iyui in it, was brought into the open square and shattered to pieces. Shortly after this,, a frame dwelling home next the hose house was fired, and from lhat lime up to nine o'clock in tin evening, tho flames coniinued to spread without stay until twentv-ni.vk houses were consumed, the greater part of them being upon C.tdvala der-sitreet, and four upon ihe sireet facing th market. About seven o'clock the market h'iu?a itself caught fire, and at nine o'clock lay i ueap ui rums.
