The friends of Clay, Frelinghuysen, and Markle, held a meeting in the Court-house, in Stroudsburg, on Monday evening last.

The Governor had arrived, and is- j sued his proclamation to ihe neighboring Gen- Tlie fourth of July. The 68ih anniversary of our National Inde pendence, occurred on Thursday last, and was observed wjth unusual demonstrations of rejoi cing and display in every part of the country. In Philadelphia, the political parlies, especial ly ihe Vrhigs, celebrated the day, in great strength. Bui the principal attraction was the urn-out of the Native American party, who had a splendid procession, which took an hour and a half in passing a given point, and num bered about len-ihousand persons. Free Trade. George McDuffie, U. S. Senator from South Garoltnia, and a celebrated Nullifier of 1832, has laken the stump in favor of James K. Polk, And against Henry Clay, and intends traversing ho whole South. In a speech, before the 'Democratic Association of Richmond, Virginia, on Wednesday evening ihe 26th of June, he denounced the present excellent Whig Tariff, xond the tihole protective policy, as a t system of robbery an unjust, an unconstitutional tax, to 'GF.T!D Of WHICH REBELLION WOULD BE might. McDuffie, is one of Polk's right-hand men, and ihefj? j an old saying lhal a man is always judged by the company he keeps, This is lhe way the Pollers talk down South; ai.dTl" we help them into power, it is the way they will soon talk lo u& here at ihe North. Loco Foco Tactics. The Locos are straining every nerve lo pro (luce the impression that their cause is in the ascendant, ajnd will triumph at the coming elec tions. They know the desperate condition to which they have been reduced, and that their forces are distracted and dismayed hence their efforts at deception. They pioclaim that great changes are going on among the people, in fa vor ol Polk and Pallas. That many who have heretofore professed friendship to Henry Clay, are deserting the Whig ranks, and joining the scattered lorces of Locofocoism. They parade long lists of names, in their columns, of persons who once stood high in our party, but who have .1. 1 .1 XT t 1 - I now, uiey say, uesenea us. iui sausneu wim this, they even publish some of their own re turning prodigals, from the traitorous embrace of Tylerism, and claim them as fresh from the Whig side. Such demostrations as these, however, are not to be mistaken for genuine ebullitions of popular feeling. They are too lame even to de ceive ihe most thoughtless of the Whig pha lanx. Indeed, they are so shallow, that but very, very few, of their own party give cre dence to them. The honest and considerate portions of the loco foco party look about them and see thai instead of gaining, they have lost ground, since 1840. They also see that every where the Whig party is united., and will rally, with additional strength, around the standard of their noble leader. The lies ami deceptions, therefore, which the loco foco leaders are try ing to practice upon their followers, must, ulti mately produce their own confusion. They cannot injure Henry Clay, or the Whig party. The Wliiff Tariff. In Pennsylvania, where they know it would be utter blight and destruction to all their pres ent and. future hopes, to oppose the Whig Ta riff of 1842, the Loco Focos, profess great love for it. But in New York, the parly proclaims its real principles, and goes into battle tinder the banner of its ancient Free Trade doctrines. Those- doctrines, correspond exactly with the sentiments of their candidate James K. Polk; and are utterly destructive to the prosperity of the country. The New York Plebian, the Polk organ in the City, speaks out upon the subject in the following remarkable terras, which would do honor to J. C. Calhoun, the prince of Nullifiers. " We tell the Whigs, that unless they desire a dissolution of the Union, they trill have to aban don the present Tariff." This is the true Loco foco doctrine, free trade and Texas, or a dissolution of the Union!! And it will be carried out if the Locos ever get the power. Another Riot. The peace and quiet of Philadelphia has been disturbed bv another popular outbreak, and the - 11 I- t r - , ini lives anu imineny oi citizens saennceu. l lie difficttlties began on Friday evening, when a number of fire-arms were discovered in Si. Philip's (Catholic) Church, Southwark, and continued down io Monday afternoon, when ajc i;uil,i,,u,1,l3B wa8 e"'rea mho ueiween me neg ularly constituted authorities of Southwark, and ,he Military, by which the former agreed to erals to hold ihetr troops in readiness to march lo the City on the shortest notice, in case the civil authorities were- insufficient to preserve peace and order. This riot is a disgrace to the City and County, and all participants in it should be brought lo speedy and severe punishment. In another column we publish a full account of tho affair. "Throw Light anions the People." This is the caption of an article in tho last number of the 44 Monroe Democrat," in which RaffertV tries hard to make iho neonla helieve!R .l., ,u.. i . . z , , . mat nicy uuui hi iiJUu ijiuncif ffllO IIS pOCIiCl i i . i i -i 1 ing.

He sys "it is important that eve ry man should lake and read at least one paper published in his own cotiniy which advocates correct principles" and recommends the abore offer to the attention of such as wish to do so. Truly very modest. We agree with him lhat every one should lake and read a paper which advocates correct principles, but we are far from agreeing with bun that ouch is the character ol his paper, notwithstanding he says bo. We ibink ii require some othor barking at least be certificate of Colonel Kindt. The Loco Polko'a held a meeting at Dtll'a Ferry, .Northampton county, on the29ih ult. Handbills of a large size, denouncing Henry Clay in true blackguard style, and supplicating and entreating the faithful to attend, were cir culated throughout Northampton and Monroe for weeks previous. On the day stated, about one hundred and fifty persons were present at what had boldly been proclaimed would be one of the greatest out-pourings of the Democ racy ever held in the Mount Bethels. The meeting was addressed by " Parson Jones" of Easion, and by " Our Jimmy," and from what we have heard, the speech of the latter must have been remarkably chaste and gentlemanly. Oh ! how bad Clay would have fell had he been there to hear if! ! There is a consistency in Parson Jones' es pousing the cause of Parson Muhlenberg, with which we are not disposed to find fault. Amongst the resolutions adopted was one rela tive to General Markle, the Whig candidate for Governor, which by merely substituting the name of" Polk" for that of " Markle," and in serting " United State.-" instead of " Pennsyl vania," applies so much better to the Loco foco candidate for ihe Presidency lhan it does to the Whig candidate for Governor, that we can not help giving it with the changes above re ferred to. ! Resolved, That the fact of James K. Polk, j the Loco-foco candidate fur President, being1 utterly unknown lo the great body of tho Peo-i pie of ihe United Slates, and not hoard of be yond ihe confines of the Stale in which he re-' .tides before he became the candidate of the j Loco-foco, Texas and anti-Tariff party ; and i the fact of his having been on several occasions i overwhelmingly defeated for office in his own ' State, is conclusive evidence lhat ihe great and j important interests of our country could not safely be entrusted to his hands. If. those who have read the original resolu tion will refer to it again, we feel satisfied that they will agree with us that, as altered, it ap plies most aptly to James K. Polk. Death of a Prophet. Joe Smith, ihe arch importer and ring leader of the Mormon delusion, was killed at Carthage, Illinois, on the 26th of June. He had surren dered himself to the Governor of the State, and was imprisoned in the Carthage jail. He en deavored to effect his escape, however, and in the act of doing so he was fired at by a body of musketeers, and his body pierced by many balls. He died instantly. Another Riot in Philadelphia. Full Particulars of the Riots in the vicinity of St. Philip de iVcri'k Cath olic Church, Southwark. Satur- . day and Sunday's Work.- Mon day's Preparations. Withdrawal ! of Military Quiet Restored. From the Daily Forum of Monday, There were rumors in Southwark early on Fri day morning of a large quantity of arms having been taken into the church ot Saint Philip de Neri during the afternoon; a number of persons soon collected, and the- gathering, after dark, i increased to thousands. It was with the utmost difficult y that Doug- ! 1 7 Piniitn tf f lw C?kl.f U twin mr W.. n awl Pi Qffi f ,h dislric. 'cou,(, restrain the populace until the arrival of the Jsheriff, who weni into the church, accompan ied by Alderman Horiz, and Saunders, and brought forth twelve mukcts which were con veyed to the Southwark Hall, amidst tho up roarious cheers of the multitude. The difficulty did not seem to subside, and the Sheriff and Mr. Wright Ardis (one of the wounded in Kensington) addressed the popu lace, promising to remain in lhe church and further examine it until morning. Mr. Ardis then chose twenty citizens, with whom and tho Sheriff he entered the church. The mob still remaining to ihe number of thousands, strict watch was kept upon the front of the Church until a slight rain partially dispersed the crowd. dcsceudiii'r About eleven o'clock the "Union Fencibles," Captain Lee, came upon the ground. Their commander, in a brief speech, gave the mob five minutes to disperse, and soon there were very few persons lefl upon the spot. No fur ther demonstrations were made. During the whole of Saturday much excite ment prevailed in tho vicinity of the church, and after dark a mob again assembled, at dif- ,'forenl times attacks were made upon the build length Geo. Cadwalader gave the word to fire, but at that moment Mr. Charles Nay lor threw himself before the piece, and thus frustrated his intention. The multitude however, gradually dispersed, and quietness was again restored. The companies all dismissed towards morning, excepting ihe Ciiy Guards, which were left in possession of ihe church. This guard uas relieved in the morning by the Mechanic and Markle Rifle enrp, and the Hibernia Greens. At 11 o'clock yierday morning the moh became most powerful in point of niiinhers, many of those composing it de manded the release of Mr, Naylor, who hid been held in cuaiody in lhe church; finding thai their request would not be complied with, an attack was again made upon the church, the doors of which were forced. At this time, two cannons, which had been procured from' on board of vessels lying at our wharves, were brought up to the church; they were removed to the rear and fired. They had been loaded with slugs, nails, &c. and liule or no damage was done lo lhe wall, agatusl which they were directed. An entrance was, however, effected ut the front of the building, and Mr. Navlor was sot at Iiheriv, amid tlits .shouts of ihe mob. '1 hrough the exertions of Mr. Thomas D. Gro ver and other.", the persons who brought tho guns were, after some difficulty, prevailed upon to lake them away. We learn that upon get ting ihem to tho uharf, they were spiked. The mob now having got posession of the church, Mr. Levin ascended the steps and made an ad dress to the people oulsiile He said that trie property was now in his possession and lhat it should bu protected. He urged the mob to dis perse. The companies that had been stationed there, then retired. They marched out into Queen street, down lo Second and up to German, and turned up German here a rush was made upon them, amid groaning, which was doubtless in tended for the Gieen.- Tho members of ihis company being hotly pursued, ran, but previ ously discharged several musket the bail from one came very near striking a gentleman who was standing on a cellar door to Second street, opposile Gorman; it, however, just grazed his face, and passed into the bulk window of Mr. Smith's. The Greens were ihen driven in eve ry direction one of them named Gallagher, ran into a house at the corner (if Fifth and Small streets, ami discharged his musket out of the window one man named Robert Lyons, was shot in the sireei. The crowd rushed into the house and dragged Gallagher out, and look him down the street. Before ihey got him to ihe Southwark Commissioners Hall, he was so bad ly bealen, that he was, thought to bo dead. Several physicians came in and found that life still remained. His condition is, however, a hopeless one. The Church was, for the re mainder of lite afternoon, in Ine possession of the persons wjio engaged lo preserve it. Its doors were open, and all who chose to enter did so. In the mean lime the State House bell tolled eight successive strokes, and Gen. Patterson ordered the First Division io assem ble. They accordingly did so, and at about 7 o'clock the companies marched down to their Quarters at ihe Guard Bank, under the com mand of Captain Malory of Germantown. 8 o'clock. The troops arrived at the scene of riot. Lines were formed, and cannon sta tioned at each comer of the streets. The mil itary took possession of the Church, and turned out a Committee thai had it in charge. The mob were commanded to disperse; they refused; a charge was made upon the multitude. Upon showing a determination to stand its ground, ono company fired a volley a large number fell one or two killed and several dangerously wounded. The mob gathered its forces in the side sts. It had a four pounder and a large number t)f smaller arms. These were repeatedly dis charged, aud either killed or wounded ihe sol diers. 9 o'clock. We learn that more persons have been wounded, among oihers Col. A. J. Pleas anton and Capt. R. K. Scott. 10 1-2 o'clock. A reinforcement of troop, horse and artillery, have gone down to the scene of battle. From the Daily Chronicle of Tuesday. The melancholy disturbances in tho district of Southwark have not ceased, and the feeling of excitement and anxiety continued intense all yesterday. In closing our account of Sunday's work in yesterday's Chronicle, we stated the fact of ii being dangerous to walk late at -titghl in the disturbed district, and the accounts which we publish below, of ihe death and destruction after nightfall, justify our belief then expressed. The disposition of some who had the power, to withhold information, was an embarrassment not often experienced by reporters. Notwith standing, we gained more true information than any of our contemporaries, and we now present a continuation of Sunday night's doings. The firing between the Native American Re publicans aud the military, continued, at inter vals, from 9 o'clock, Sunday evening, until two o'clock, Monday morning, when ii ceased. Du ring this time, thero was more desiruction of life than was ever before known in this county while tho damage to property from balls, slugs, &c. was very great. By far the greatest loss of life and limb, was on the part of tho citizen soldiery, the Natives having carried death and destruction into the ranks of the military. The Natives had four pieces of cannon, whieh were worked by sailors and watermen, with un exampled laci and ability. Their mode of at tack was to load at a distance, with pieces of iron and other metals, such as nails, pieces of chains, Monecutier's chisels, knives, files, spikes, broken bottles, tc, The wheels of the cannon were muffled, and thren of them were used with great effect. One of the most fear ful shots was that fired from all three cannons at once, in the following manner. Ono was placed on Queen street wharf, unknown to the military one in Queen street, between Stxih and Seventh one in Third street, about four squares south of Queen. Slow matches were applied ; and, as if protriously understood, all three weie fired at ortce making dreadful havoc. They wero no ooneT fired lhan drag ged offinio hiding placed, unheard and unseen. Long drag ropes had been attached lo ihem, and ihey were whirled off in an iusiant, and before the military could return the fire whh any effeci. The greatest mischief wa from the gan in Third street, which raked files of military ,ta. lioned across thai street at Queen. The S'atij Fencibles, the Germantown Washington Ami. lery, and lhe Germantown Blues, lost several of their men by that fire. No sooner was the tramp of cavalry horse heard, than ropes were cxiended across streets, which tripped the horses, and in moat instance, threw their riders, when lhe Natives pc!iel them with stones and other missiles from hi. dmg places. Before daylight yesterday morn ing, the military seized and carried off three of the pieces of cannon which had been med by the Natives. They observed ihem pulling oim from its secret place, and made an attack tbtt Natives fled, and the military took the cannoi During lhe night, a rifle ball was fired from house in the neighborhood of Third and Queen streets, evidently at the military stationed then but it entered lhe bulk window shutter n Johnson's grocery store on lhe south-west cor ner passed through a nest of drawers an through a four inch plastered wall, but doing a., harm to the inmates, who had. prudeuily -ai had most of the families in the neighborhood taken refuge in the cellar. Firing in this manner was continued at m tervals nearly all nigh:, into the ranks of in-, military it was one of these balls that entere l Capt. Scon's person, wounding him severely The Natives fired one of their pieces of czv. non, loaded with round shot, from a dNtan-f over ihe houses, with wonderful precision, ii!! Queen street, near the church, where but a fe minutes before, the military had been stai.di.i no one was injured by this discharge. A vnlley of musketry was fired by the Nt lives, from an open space in a wide alley i-i Third street belmv Queen, into the chuuh St. Philip de Neri, where the WasJiMiipu Bikes ere stationed. The fire destroyed m. uy of the paintings which had been left titiili--turbed by the uiob on Sunday riddled i fi curtains, window, eic, ami haliered the li tcrior work of ihe building, hut did no fur he' harm. The Blues returned ihe fro from ih church, but without effect the Natives Iiil disappeared. Gerhard Eblers, a journeyman in die employ of Benjamin Hulseman, leather dressrr. in Queen street below Second, when retinug i 1 bed about 1 1 o'clock, placed his htad out of iim dormant window of ihe house, for tho purpou of seeing how things were going on, when ,i canister idiot from a field piece fired by the in j- itarv. killed him ms'autly. The discharge was one of those fired at the Natives, in re'urn lo theirs. 1 1 fi i ill w w inir i nr ihi in n r t nir in i in a in l the fire from lhe Natives, which was direct'. with great precision, raked the men, principal's' from the waist up, while that from the mihtaiy invariably passed over the Natives. All along Queen street, above and behnv ih-i church fot some distance, presents a truly w-- like appearance. Window shutters, tint's. fronts of houses, trees, tree boxes, awning p;is!. lamp posts, p'imps, watch-boxes, sign, are a ' pierced with balls and shol ; and 'he pneirenis glitters, streets, stej a and door-j- ms staiurL with blood, lo some places it flowed duwi lhe gutters ihis was mostly the blood of ih military, drawn by the fire of the Natives. At one lime during the night, for about hours, all communication with the Major Gene ral, by his aids, was suspended. Natives wet'! stationed in hiding places, along iho strnf over which the aids rode, and they were tire., upon intercepted and stones, brick-bat. , hurled at ihem. None o! ihem were injured. however. Monday, July S, 1SH.

A strong feeling pervaded all lhe cit' zens of the district. Natives and others, wtt : regard lo ihe withdrawal of ihe military; seeming to concur in the belief that such a str.'j would restore order and respect for ihe laws. About 10 o'clock, an Irishman, who appear ed to bo intoxicated, was arrested in front the Girard Bank building. Third street, beVl Chesnut, lhe Head Quarters of lhe Major uru eral. He was using' violent and thre.iH"'nSj language, when a police officer arrested and carried him before tho Mayor, who cox mitlnd him to orison. A committee from iho Commissioners of H dislrict of Southwark wailed upon Major Gt ral Patterson, and requested him io wi'hdratfJ the troops at 4 o'clock, pledging themsefte '"j preserve the peace in the district, i he ie"- j ral replied that if the Commissioners would ' isfy him that they were able, and could p" servo the property and peace ol tho district," would issue an order for the withdrawal of I3l troom.
