Riot in Philadelphia.
On Monday (Ist inst.) the lower part'
of the :city was the scene of a terrible
fight, riot and bloodshed, between the
l whites and blacks, which orignated from
a number at colored persons in the morn
ing having a procession of men and boys

ance cause, and also the emancipation of
the slaves in Jamaica. Some of the ban
ners gave oftence to the spectators, and
the procession was attacked as it passed
the market, at Fourth and Shippen streets,
and tads thrown at the persons who com
posed it. This interference was by some
uoys, but led to a general fight, and in a
few minutes missiles of every de%cription
were flying about with frightful force.—
The procession was broken up, the society
beaten off and dispersed, and a mob ol per
sons, several thousand is number, which
was every moment increasing,
pursued
them up to the neighborhood of St. Mary
street, between Sixth and Seventh, where
the riot re-commenced with additional
fury.
The houses occupied by black people
were attacked. and the windows complete

ly demolished. The colored people in the
streets assembled in force and beat back
the assailants; clubs and stones strewed
the street in this melee, and many persons
were injured. The fight continued all
day and during the evening, various
crowds were collected at the corners
at the scene of the riots. Suddenly,
without any previous intimation that the
building had been entered, the large four
story ho lding, newly put up, known as
" Smith's Ilan," in Lombard street, near
Seventh, having been erected by a wealthy
colored man, named Smith, was discoveryd
to he in flames. it was entirely destroyed
in less than an hour—thousands of per
sons standing and looking at the des

Before this fire had been subdued.
another was discovered issuing from the
colored Presbs terian Church in St. Mary

Congressional Election.---At
templed Outrage upon the
rights of the People !---An
other "Supereihous” super
sedeas!!
The Extra Session was held chiefly for
the purpose of districting the State for
members of Congress. The Legislature
met, and after about seven weeks, passed
lan Apportionment Bill, as is known to
, all. That bill, unfortunately does not
suit the notions of Governor Porter, be.
cause it does not " use up Huntingdon
'county"--an indispensible requisite, as
lwe have reascui to believe, to any Appor
(Moment that can receive the sanction of
"Uncle Davy." Rumors to this effect
have been afloat ever since the bill was
passed ; but although the Legislature re
mained in Session four days after the pass
sage of the bill, in which time the Gov
ernor could have announced his intentions
offizially, and the. Legislature passed an
other bill ; yet he held it for nearly two
weeks, and then sent out letters, through
ihe Secretary of the Commonwealth, to
the respective Sheriffs, notifying titan that
there can be no election for Members of
Congress this full.
The following is a copy of the letter to
le Sheriff of this county. •
SECRETARY'S OFFICE,
Harrisburg, August 3, 1842.
To John Shaver, Esq. Sheriff ut the t ounty
of Huntingdon.
SIR:—
The bitl which passed, at the late
session of the Legislature, dividing the
State into Congressional districts foe..the
election of members of Congress, has mit,
become a law ; and I am instructed by his'
Excellency the Governor, to inform you,
that it will not receive his signature.
Hence, as there is no law, authorizing
the election of members of Congress in
this state based upon the census of 1840,
it will be unnecessary this year to insert
in your proclamation, for the next general
election, a call upon the people to elect
those officers.
I am respectfully, yours,
A. V. PARSONS,
Secretary of the Commonwealth,
Now is this not a pretty business?
There is more ►n it than would at first
appear. But take it in its best light, ant
it is a piece of dictation not at all credits
table to the man from whom it proceeds
The bill, I►e says has not become a law
and it will not receive his signature—.
hence there is no law authorizing the
election of members of Congress, and it
will be unnecessary to make a call upon
the people to elect those officers!!! In-'
deed! Why bless you, Mr. Secretary.
the Sheriff and the PEOPLE will do just
as they please about that matter. What
authority have you and what authority has
YOUR MASTER, or his Excellency the
Governor, as you call him, to tell the
PEOPLE what they must do about
the election of members of Congress?—
Sir, show us the documents. 'fell us
whether you find such authority in the
new or old Constitution, or whether it is
the order of Governor Burr that you send
lus? Pray do let us know.
But, let us for a moment look at this
case seriously. The 3rd section of the
Constitution of the United States declares
" that the times, places and manner of
holding elections for Senators and Repro.
sentatives, shall be prescribed in each
State by the Legislature thereof." This
leaves it extremely doubtful whether the
Governor has any thing to do with district
ing the State for members of Congress, as
!the Constitution says it shall be dune by
the Lrgtalature, and does not mention the
Governor. It will be perceived too, that)
the Constitution uses the same language in
reference to elections for United States
Senators. Well, in that case the Legis
lature elect them on joint ballot and the,
Governor has no part in that election. —!
We presume that the same words, in the
same instrument, in reference to the same
thing, always have the same meaning.—
Reader, what do you think about it?
It is believed by many that the Govern-1
or and his astute Secretary intend only to,
set a trap for our party. The Loco Focos
will no doubt manage, some way or other, ,
to elect members of Congress—if it should
even be by but a dozen of votes, and then
send them on to Washington, where they
would probably be admitted, as they would
have a right to be. Let it be remembered
that the Governor can hold the Appor•
lent Bill till after the election, and ifi
their plan shall have proved successful,
he may sign the bill, or he may keep it in
his breeches pocket until three days after
the meeting of the Legislature in January
next, and then it would become a law
without his signature. See how carefully
his" Excellency" avoids saying the bill
will not become a law without his signs
tare. lie fie says it has not become a law,
and that it will not receive his signature;
but the Governor certainly knows that it
may become a law without his signature,'
and while at this work of superogation he
!night have informed us of that fact.
The people will most assuredly (hare.
Bard this dictatorial letter from the Gover
nor, and proceed to the election : of mem•
hers of Congress in the new districts iii
the usual way, and after that the House of
Representatives at Washington will be
the judges of their right to their seats.--
A fter the Supersedeas of the commission of
John Shaver, Sheriff of this county, which
the Supreme Court kicked from their pre-,
settee with scorn and contempt, the people
will not place any confidence in this extra
qfficial order from the Governor of the
state.
Let the people take the matter in ham
in earnest—let them elect good and how
est men to Congress, and in the end al
will be right.
Report of the Committee of
Investigation.
We this week publish the Majority Re.
port of the Investigating Committee. Ev.
cry one will no doubt read it and judge
fur himself. To us it would hU.ve been
far more satisfactory if Brodhead could
been brought before the Committee
and compelled to testily his knowledge of
th**,4cts in the
,case, and if &Anis and
Read hiadottnadtithose explanatiombyyltich
it must be evident to all they could have
xiven, had they not pretended to have lost
all memory of the letters which they had
written just two years before. If their
testiniony had then exculpated the.Gnver
nor, we could have rejoiced for the honor
of the Connopealth. But as it is —the
facts slilrboOfeintin afire Bhikest recesses
of the bosmis'ef Brodhead, Sohn% Read
and others, and the strong positive proof
that large sums of money were obtained]
from the United States Bank for 'faqir
purpose,this leaves strong doubts in our
mind about the purity and integrity, as
well of the Legislature of 1839-40 and
the Executive, as about the honesty and
fairness of those through whose handi the
money has thus far been traced. If the
]light of Brodhead, and the loss of memory
uy Solon; and Read, and the unaccounta
ble conduct of the Governor all through
the investigation, could be reconciled to
conscious innocence, then could we believe
that those who are implicated in the bet
bery and corruption were wrongfully ac
cooed. But under all thecircumstanees,
we can never believe them innocent of the
chaiges until the matter is "probed to On
fottom," and Brodhead is made to accoun
for the manner in which lie disposed of
the money that passed into his hands.
In out. next we will endeavor to give
the whitewashing Report of the Minorit y
of the Committee, so that our readers may
see how the whole subject has been treat
ed. And whenever the letters and testi
mony adduced before the Committee shall
be printed, we intend to give copious ex
tracts, in order that the people, who are
in such cases the highest tribunal and the
last resort, may be enabled to pass judg
ment according to the facts and circum
stances.

"Remedy for Hard Timea.“
Ma. EDITOR:
, In the last " Standard"
I see an article headed "Remedy for hard
lava." As my attention has been direc•
ted toe ards that, subject fur some time. I
immediately read the article, hoping to
find something that might assist me in my
search for a remedy for hard times. You,
as well as yo.st readers, can judge of my
surpi ise, whetttl found 'that the writer
was a disciple of Buchanan, and an open
advocate of his TEN CENT A DAY ws.

less astonished when I saw-that the writer

hought that I could not further my object

The writer asserts that among the bens
fits to be derived from adopting the low

id of our state and citizens from their
present embarrassments—the removal of
hindrances in almost all kinds of business,
4i) that industry might go on as success
fully as heretofore—the payment of the
to:nestle creditors, and possibly the pre
vention of a state of anarchy."
This is assertion without one word of
woof. Let me ask that workingman a
few questions. I desire to know and fol

which will result in these very benefits.
