Loco iPaca Mob a4ii Outrage.
Attack upon the Polls—the windows
broken; the doors thrce& the house enter

officers were engaged :olently taken from
them and broken to pieces, and themsel

Loco Foco Mob.
It becomes our duty as chronieleis of
the times,.to record one of the most out
rageou,s Riots - ever perpetrated 'in the
ICtitirity of Huntingdon. It is with fee
lings of the de:l:est sorrow for the char
acter of ore citizens that we do so. We,..
would much rather, that &felt men were,
not among us ; and their places filled with
orderly, upright, sober citizens. Ile are
pleased however, that not more than one
house became the object of molestation by
these despeeadees, that one was the scl.ool
house, in which the election for Inspec
tor and Assessor .was being held yester
day, by Mr. Constable Stiller. and the
judges appOilited by the people present,
when the usual hour arrived fur opening
said election. After the board was thus
fairly and lawfully organized, one of the
judges of our Court, Joseph ./dams, Eaq.
trade his appearance and impudently
commanded the Constable to change
the board. He very properly refuse d,
and told the Hon. gcn'leman tkat lie was
amenable to the laws, and that if by his
hands they were violated, he was willing
to abide 111,. consento,,ces, and that he
would proceed to hold the election law
,fully and justly. The Jude and C. Gar
ber, Esq. then called upon all the follow
ers of David R. Porter and mobocracy, to
parade in the street, in front of the house
!•—they did so—and after counting them,
C. Garber proclaimed their number to he
one hundred andfifiy•three. They then
marched in a body to the house, arid corn- •
tnenced their hellish work 01 demolition
& destruction: They simultaneously at
tack-id the doors at windows, smashing
the: latttr to itoina, with clubs, stones, and
brick bats, gained an entrance through
them, acid forced the doors—the mob then
rushed in, seized the (leaks on which the
officers of the election were discharging
their duties, anti broke them into !rag-
merits, and strewed them over the floor;
Judge Adams and C. Garber being the
first to lay hands on them. 'I he nest
most conspicuous gentlemen in this Riot,
were George R. M'Farlane, a true fit ow

unnaturalized foreigner, a nd a host of
others fresh from the British soil. Next
these villians threatened violence on the
officers of the election. and but for the
timely and determined interference of
some of the friends of the supremacy of
the Laws, it would have been hard to tell .
where these desperadoes would have stop
ped. But the officers were protected, arid
the COWARDLY VI LLIANS compelled to de
sist ere their hellish designs were ^fully
completed. The rioters succeeded in
preventing the receiving of votes about
two hours, but they were given to know
that the election window , would be kept
open until twelve o'clock at night, if votes
should be offered, and that any attempt . .
to prevent or detain the election, would".
avail them nothing. They then desisted,.
and the election continued. And oh, the
result! the glorious result!! Tell it in
the streets, publish it at every corner—
proclaim it in every villitge, c it'y and town
in our State, that the Loco Foco, Fanny
