Canal Commissioner.
To the Democratic Whig t'oung
Men of Pennsylvania
, •
The o ffi ce of Canal Commiss io ner . . is
one, the importance of which cannot be
too highly appreciated by the people of
this Commonwealth. Charged, as the
Board of Canal Commissioners are; by
law, with the general superintendence
and management of the entire State
works—with the appointment of subor
dinstes, upon whose honesty, skill and
attention, the credit and ttiudlt of the
profit of those vast lines of irhpreietitents
trust in a large measOrd depetid--iitiat
the formation of contracts involving
heavy expenditures of the public monies
—with the collection; either directly or
through agents of thir own appointment
Of a large proportion of the reventie df
the State—with extensive purchases on
account of the disbursement of large
sums of money—with power to bind the
State and its resources, to a considera
ble extent—with the power and patron
age of our great and grotVing improve
ments—it becomes npparen igh
ty trusts are committed : mlh
istration, a due and hon ante
of which are vital to tho is weal.
A bare glance at the trusts and duties
which devolve upon those officers, is all
bonvincing of the truth which *f assert.
But if further evidences are desired,
they are multiplied in the history of our
State finances for past years, no less
than in the personal experiences of every
tax payer. The waste of enormous some
from the public Treasury, upon plans
Injudiciously and ignorantly formed—
the squandering of other vast sums
among political favorites, and in further
ance of corrupt political schemes—the
amount of losses from defaulters, render
bd entire by the inadequacy or worth
lessness of their bonds and sureijes—
the unwarranted and expensive manner
in which contracts have been farmed
but—and the utter disregard of the pub
lic interests which has characterized
the administration of the power and pat
ronage of the Board, in the hands of our
Political opponents, to the impoverish 7
inent of the Treasury, the increase by
Millions of the State debt, and a corn.
Mensurate increase of taxes, are living
end speaking evidences to the tax pay
-615 of of Pennsylvania, of the magnitude
of the office of Canal Commissioner, and
the extent to which it should be appre
binted in the approaching canvass.
It is not, asserting too much to say,
that the success and profit of our public
Works—the pride of every true hearted
Pennsylvanian—depend mainly upon
the election of Commissioners who are
both qualified to discharge the high and
diversified duties of their office, and will
devote thetnselvs to their work with
honest fidelity and economy. Upon the
success of these vast undertakings de
pends, in a great measure, the prosper
ity of the State; and that, which op ,
peals strongly to the pride no less than
io the interest of all, the final extinguish-
Meet of the State debt. Let the fact
not be concealed, therefore, that the ap
proacing contest for the office of Com
missioner is one of real and wide spread
interest to the people.
We congratulate the friends of the
National and State administration
throughout the extent of the Common-
Wealth, upon the nomination of Hasa
At. FULLER, of Luzerne county, as our
.. Candidate for Canal Commissioner.—
Young, ardent and energetic, eminently
qualified from a knowledge of the de
tails of that office, and a practical ac
quaintance with the resources and inter
ests of the State; lb discharge its duties
.with erbdit and ability, we hail his nom
sinnticiti its it harbinger of glorious sue-
Coss. In his electioni and the intelligen
integrilY arid cleitotibh to duty, which
would accompany him into office, the
true friends of the commonwealth would
find proud atid ample eatiSfattlofl. He
is just the indii fdr the station; With
- abundant assurances to be drawn froth
his past devotion to.the public interests
that he is Worthy of
• •
We could not ask ii More Contlncing
proof of his fitnes§ fdr the Office, than
the singular unanimity with which the
Convention united uprin hitn in the nom
ination. Great, unquesti hie indeed;
inust be the private an excel.
lence of th at man who ca entrate
upon himself, With such prompt rind en:
_ tire harmony, the suffrages of an tissem:
bly convened from every sedtioti of a
great commonwealth; and liable to be dia
vided by local and personal partialities:
This, of itself, is an eloquent testis
inonial to his worth of heart and under
standing, who, like Mr. Fuller; redeives
at once, unanimously and by acclama
tion; the nomination of his fellow citi.
*ens to one of the most responsible offi
ces in the gift of the State. And this,
. .
tdo, is an earnest—an inspiriting earn-
Ost—of the personal popularity of our
candidate, and of the strong, cordial sup.
port Which awaits him before the people.
Not a support from those alone who are
his political friends, but from all honest
kind good men, who can sometimes, as
occasion may require, raise themselves
Above the biases of party, and choose
Irom among opposing candidates the
Man hegl qualified by his virtues and
Abilities to serve the State wisely and
Well.
With the importance of the office in
tiew, and with such a candidate to fill
it, let there be no laggardness on the
part of the gallant yeomanry of POnnsyl-
vanie, in the completion of the work
thus satisfactorily begun. The noble
regeneration of lust 3idarc rtiust be no
less nobly sustained now—any, its iia.
reer must be progressive,, until every
department of our goverment shall have
experienced its invigorating power; and
borne the fruits of its creation.
To young men of the party—Ltd thitiee
whose patrotism and de4otiffit to the
public weal is seldom invoked in vain
—to those who moulded
Monument
last cam
paign into an enduring Monument of
well appiiq tiltrg,—;:to you, in pitmen
hir; we apipiel, to renew the vigor of your
youth in the approaching canvass. he
ettlididate of the party is with you in
fiery generous tie that binds heart to
h6art in a grerit and glorious cause. In
his nomination every one of you should
feel a personal pride and interest. He
it one df yeurselVes- 2 taken front your
rithks—a frank and ardent—a warm
hearted and right-minded young citizen
of the Keystone—committed by every
impulse, by every principle of the gen ,
crous, self-deioting spirit of youth, to
the faithful service, the honor and pros.
ierity of his native State. We, there
fore, cordially ratify the nomination of
flExtty M. FULLER, of Luzerne, as the
Whig candidate for the office of Canal
Cemmissioner—we send to our young
brothers ot the State our hopeful con
gratulations upon the event, and in a
spirit of amiable emulation, we throw
down the gauntlet and challenge them
to outdo us in the battle that is coming
for Whig men. Buckle on your armor,
then—rally—otganize- , •=and'retiolVe, one
and all, that there shall be neither back
wardness nor wavering in your ranks.

RIOT and BLOODSHED.'
On Saturday evening, about 6 o'clock
an attack was made upon the blacks,
residing in the vicinity of Sixth and St.
Mary streets, by the Killers of Moya
mencing, in which bricks and other mis
siles were used, to the great danger of ,
all who chanced to be in the street at
the time. At the moment of the attack
officer Curren of the city police, with a
few of his men, were in the neighbor
hood, and measures were at once taken
to check the riot and arrest the partici.
pants. Upon the first volley of bricks
thrown,the blacks, who had been great
ly exasperated, rushed front their houses
with such weapons as were at hand and
commended battle with their assailants.
One of the forerrimit of these was erres
ted by Police Officer Curran; and tak
en from the ground amid a fierfeit
shower of bricks, which fell harmless
at the feet of the officer but one of which
struck the prisoner on the jaw and .in;
dieted a severe wound. Upon the first
appearance of the rioters, word had been
' sent to the Sheriff for aid, also to Captairi
Bennett, of the Night Police, the last of
whom was early on the ground with a
good force, and aided materially in quel
ling the riot. At about o'clock Sher
iff Lelar made his appearance, and be
fore he had time to station his forces to
advantage, a rally was made on Seventh
street by the Killers, and the whole Po
lice force, including the Sheriff, was
compelled to fly. hi this attack, a num
ber of guns were fired from a house in
Seventh street occupied by blacks, and
several of the rioters were seriously in
jured. Williams, the reputed lessee of
the house in question, was taken into
custody, and is now in Prison awaiting
a hearing. The Sheriff and his posece
having recovered themselves, the riot
ers ware driven back into Moyamensing,
and two or three arrests were made.
A number of riotous and disorderly
blacks were also taken into custody,
and placed in the city lock up. During
these attacks and repulses of the rioters,
it is impossible to describe the noise
dud el:lnfusion that prevailed—the cries
bf the rioters—the rattling of bricks and
stones upon the pavement and against
the houses, and the discharge df fire
arms, fill at the same time fell upon the
ear of thtise who were in that neighbOr
liodd dud Created a fearful state of appre:
hension. The riot continued at inter
vals for the space of an hour and a half,
daring which .period the City Police,
and the Sheriff and his posses did all
that Men colild do to restore order, and
direst the offenders. Sederal of the City
police were injured. High constable Cur
ren was struck on the cap of the knee
With a piece of brick; and almost disc
bled. He did Ott however, leave the
ground . Austin Knotvles, of the day po
lice, Was taken away in a cab. He was
struck With ii firiek dlie; but in what
part of the body we did not learn. Po
lice Officer Wallace, was struck with a
missile, but was not disabled; he was
on duty yesterday. Of the residents of
Moyamensing injured, the following are
all that we could get positive informa
tion about ! Bernard liencarble, resi
ding in Baker street, received several
slugs in his body and head, and is not
expected to recover; John finites, re ,
siding in Fifth street near outh; was
shot over the eye ; a member of the
Hope Engine company was also shot
over the eye and is badly injured ; Felix
Burns bad his nose broken with a brick ;
John WilsOn was seriously injured by
t a blow front a club, and Terence None
ghat *Qs struck in the temple with a
stone and rendered
. insensible. Wheth
er any or all of, these . persens . wera n
gtiOd in the riot, of course we are tied
ble to say. it is probable, hoWciier that
some of them were mere spectitors.
A. large Police force remained at the
scene of the riot all nig4, and, no fur- 1
(her attempt was made to
. renew the
outrages of the previous evening.
YESTERDAY, every thing wee quiet at
the scene of the riots, up to about one
o'clock, when in.the absence of large
portion of the Pellei forepi,
made fresh.attaek upi3n blacks; and
for a brief period ' the outrages of .0 e.
preceding night were renewed, Officer,
Curren and a few cif the City Police
were on the ground: Japtain , Bennett
was tigath gbht for, and made his nppeer ,
once in a few minutes & several arrests
were made By and hie men, Upon
the Sheriffi reaching the grqund he cal
led upon the authorities Of Royamegi
sing & Southwa rk for aid which was
prohtmly met, and the Police .of both
diatriets repiiiriid to the scene. An effici ,
ent forde was now stationed at hotribdrd
South & Shipper' on Sixth street to pre.
vent persons from passing up and down,
Officers were also stationed at botnbkrd
and Seventh and Eighth street and s 6,
eral other streets in that vicinity. In
the course of yesterday thousands of
persona visited the scene of the riots.
At the present writing, 10 o'clock, P.
M. all is quiet.
Gen. Tayidit and the Clergy,
While the President was in Harris
burg, he was waited upon in a body, by
the Reverend clergy of the borough.
They were introduced by the Rev. Mr.
Coit, of the Episcopal Church, who, af
ter presenting the different gentleman,
addressed the President to the follow.
effect " Sir--The clergy of Harrisburg
have called in a body to tender you
their desire to express to you their high
consideration for yourself, as a man and
for your office. Your past experience
in the evils of war, is our surest guaran
ty that you will labor to secure to this
nation the blessings of peace. We trust
that your administration will be so
guided by wisdom from above, as will
ensure the welfare and the prosperity
of the people of these United States.--
And for yourself personallyi sir, we de>
sire happiness. We welcome you td
our borough and hope thltt your visit
here and throughout dui State, will be
both pleosadt add .
To this Gent Taylor responded in the
following words : "I thank you, gentle
men, for your kindness. My life for
more than forty years has been spent on
the frontier of our country. Wherever
there has been the most of hardship and
the most of danger, the government has
seen fit id require my services, so that
have indeed enjoyed opportunities of
learning the horrors of war. I have
ever been averse to war ; and in my
negotiations with hostile powers, as in
advising with the government, I have
ever advocated pacific measures. It is
natural for a people to rejoice in victory,
but all the glories 9f victory cannot
compensate for the losses that come
upon individuals. Triumphs will not
make up to parents for the lois of their
sons, nor to
. the wife for the loss of her
husband, nor to the child for the loss of
its parent. ,We must bring war horrie
to the hearth.stone ; i 9 appreciate all its
horrors, Eut while I confess my aver.
sion to war, yet I must also declare my
purpose to defend the country against
all aggiessions; and I would, that all
that is dear to me should perish, rather
than any Wrong eholild be done
s tci our
free institutions. My receptiOn in your
State has been most cordial, and the
hearty welcome of this day especially
shall never be forgotten."
The interview then closed, and the
reverend gentlemen retired.
A gentleman more remarkable for the
excellence of his appetite that the bril
liancy of his intellect, remarked one
morning at the breakfast table, 'there is
a singular sensation in my head to-day.'
'Perhaps, my dear,' meekly suggested
his better half, 'you've got an idea in it!'
