Through Mr. McGrath's kindness, the Message
*as issued and delivered to the readers of the

The youth of our country are about to enjoy the

which marked the long and virtuous career of the
Into Chief Justice MARSHALL. We allude to the
forth coming publication of the Life of Wl,llting
ton, written for the use of schools by the Chief
Justice in his latter days, and prepared with labo

object. Wi.ll slay we unite in the language and
sentiment of the publisher in considering it
"As a most fortunate circumstance for our
country that so bright an intellect, and so
pure a heart as those of JOHN MARSHALL
wore faithfully devoted to recording the im

and it Is not doubted that she will receive
this history as a precious bequest, to be per
petually preserved, and to be studied by her
youth to the end of time."

TUESDAY, DECEMBER 4.
MEMORIALS CONCERNING TEXAS.
Mr. ADAMS offered the following ruse.
lution
Resolved, That all the petitions, memo
rials, and remonstrances, against the annex
ation of the Republic of Texas to the United
States ; presented at the first and second
sessions of the present Congress, together
with the resolutions of the Legislatures of
the States of Alabama, Tennessee, Ver
mont, Rhode Island, 011ie, Michigan, and
Massachusetts, now on file in the Clerk's
office, relating to that subject, be taken
from the said files, and referred to a select
committee of— members to consider and
report thereon.
Mr. HOWARD moved to lay the resolu•
lion on the table.
Mr. GRENNELL asked the yeas and
nays on that motion; which the House re
fused to order.
On the suagestiou of Mr. MERCER, Mr.
HOWARD withdrew his motion, and
Mr. MERCER inquired it any member
could inform the House whether the appli
cation on the part of Texas for admission
into the Union had, or bad not, been with.
drawn?
Mr. HOWARD said, in reply, that he
had no official information to communicate
on the subject. The newspapers stated
that the application had been withdrawn,but
beyond this he had personally no knowledge.
The Message of the President of the United
States was momentarily expected, and
would no doubt convey all the requisite in•
formation. In this state of things, he look
ed upon the resolution of the gentleman
from Massachusetts (Mr. ADAMS) as prema•
ture, and had therefore moved to lay it on
the table.
Mr. MERCER said that, such being the
state of facts, tie also regarded the resolu
tion as premature, and would renew the
motion to lay it upon the table.
Mr, SHERROD WILLIAMS submitted
to the CHAIR that the resolution of the
gentleman from Massachusetts was not in
order, because it proposed to refer to a se
lect committee n subject which, at the last
session of Congress, had been referred to
one oft he standing committees of the House,
and from the consideration of which that
committee had net yet been dizeharged.
The SPEAKER said it was not necessa•
ry to decide the point of order at this time,
because fi motion had been made to lay the
subject on the table. Pending the decision
on that motion, the CHAIR would look into
the question of order.
Mr. ADAMS asked the yeas and nays
on the renewed motion to lay the resolution
on the table, which were ordered, and, be
ing taken, were—Yeas 130, nays 61.
So the resolution was laid on the table.

said DANIEL O'CONNELL equally unsatis

sth. Whether the said ANDREW :STE
VENSON has, in these transsctions, so con

Mr. 110 IV ARD said that these resolu•
lions covered n great deal of ground, and
that he should like to have an opportunity
of examining them more minutely. He
would, therefiae, move that their further
consideration be postponed until Monday

,11r. A DA MS was understood to intimate

did, as the gentleman said, cover a great

the honor and the peace of the country, and
every thing that was, or ought to be, dear

Mr. !lOPKINS moved to lay the whole
subject on the table.
On which motion Mr. REED demandad

So the resolutions were laid on the table.
Genera/ Intelligence.
From the New Orleans Bee, Nov. •2U
Terrible 'Steamboat :Disaster.
The steamer 'Fiber, which arrived this
morning Iron Louisville, reports that she
passed the wreck of the steamboat Genl.
Brown at St. Helena, where the latter had
collapsed a flue. The captain, pilot, one of
the engineers, and THIRTY other persons on
board the Gen. Brown, lost their lives by
this calamity.
The following comprises the list o' killed
as far as was ascertained when the 'Vibe
passed.
KILLED—The Captain and several o
the crew, and the following passengers :
!Messrs. C. Libley, D. L. Davis, N. A. Mil
ler,—George, Dr. Price, H. M. Blanchard,
E. Hubbard,—Johnson, J. K. Gathwaite,
T. D. Lewis,—Kean, T. D. Levey, and
ono other, name unknown.
The Tiber also reports the steamer
Comanche to be sunk below Salt River, and
the Ozark hard aground at Cumberland
Island.
CAUTION TO STAGE DRlVERS.—Stockton
and Stokes were sued by a man whose wite
had been injured by the upsetting of one of
their coaches. The case was recently tri
ed and the Jury returned a verdict for the
plaintifrof upwards SEVEN THOUSAND dol
lars damages.
;• :INDIAN TROUBLES IN TEXAS.-A letter
was received at Houston the 17th Novem
ber, dated at San Antonio the 14th, which
reports the alarming intelligence that the
Camancho Indians were gathering in large
bodies in that neighborhood.
TIIE ERIE ABDUCTION
The case of the U. S.'es. Capt. Bristol,
charged with rape committed on board a
steamboat on the waters of Lake Erie, came
on for argument before the Hon. T.\lrwin,
who in the absence of Mr.. Justice Baldwin,
held the Circuit Court U. S. for the Western
District of Pennsylvania the present week.
The defendant's counsel moved to quash
the indictment chiefly on the ground of want
of jurisdiction in the Court. This motion
was sustained after several days of solemn
argument; the Court deciding that if the of,
fence was committed at all, it was commit
ted within the jurisdiction of Pa. The act
!of Congress upon which the indictment was
predicated requiring that in order to give the
U. S. Court jurisdiction, the offence should
be committed within theadmiralty and mari
time jurisdiction of the U. S. and without the
jurisdiction of a particular State.
The prisoner was thereupon discharged
from the custody of the marshal.
CONSPIRACY.—We learn by the Erie, P.
Gazette, that at the late term of the court
of common pleas held in that borough, John
F. Jackson, Thomas W. Tyler, and Silas
Walker, were convicted of a conspiracy to
defraud the U. S. Branch Bank, and were
sentenced to the Penitentiary for two years.
On the 26th tilt., there were 833 persons
confined in the New York State Prison at
Sing Sing-782 males, 51 females. The
Maryland Penitentiary contains 351 priso-
tiers-297 males, 54 females: • 'l,ll9re are
62 prisoners in the jail of Baltimore city
and county-57 males, 5 females.
BALTIMORE AND ORIO RAIL R om).— We
learn from an advertisement in the Balti•
more papers, that the part of this road be•
tween Harper's Ferry and Cumberland will
he fmallv located and ready for contract in
the month of March next. Thu Baltimore
Chronicle states "that the road will be
made on the Virginia shore of the Potomac
river from Harper's Ferry to within five
miles of Cumberland, where it will recross
the river, arid be continued on the Maryland
side to that town."
THADDEUS STEN' UNIS —ll.s gentleman
has been talked of in Pennsylvania as a sui•
table person to occupy a seat in the United
States Senate. The selection would he an
excellent one, and just such n ona ns would
do honor to the great state of which he is a
citizen. Possessed of abilities of the high.
est order, and an unconquerable independ
ence of mind, he would be calculated to
shed a lustre on the high station of senator.
It is hoped that he will be elevated to that
high station by the Legislature of his
adopted state.—New Lisbon (Ohio) Aurora.
A HERMAN COLONIZATION.—The New
York Commercial states that the ship Em
peror, Cupt. Lawlin, is to sail on Saturday
next, December Sth, for Monrovia, Cape
Palmas, &c. The It ev, John Sevs, trd
some five or six others attached to the mis
sion belonging to the Methodist Episcopal
Chalet', go out in the vessel.
ANOTHER Sun•TREASUIRER SENTENCED.
It is stated in the Indianapolis Journal, at
late date, that Wit. C. KEENER, formerly
Post•rnaster, at Printer's Retreat, :Switzer
land county, (Imbana,) was tried and found
guilty of robbing the mad, at the late term
of the United States Court, in that place,
and has been sentenced to ten }ears impris
onment in tne Penitentiary.
ROAD TO RUIN. --The Cincinnati Mir
ror says that n man who was hung lately in
a neighboring state for burglary and murd•
er, congossed under the olillows that his ca
reer of crime began by stoppinff, a uewapa•
per without plying for it. It is certain
that he entered the road to ruin by the
right gate. This should be a warning to
all others of the human family who wish to
escape being placed in a similar predica
ment.
VIIIHINIA RAIL ROAD TO THE TF.NNF.s•
SEE LINE.—A meeting of the citizens of
Botetourt, Virginia, was held oil the first
day of their November Court, and a com
mittee appointed to memorialize the next
Legislature of Virginia, praying the pas
sage ore law for the construction, on State
account, of a Rail Road trout the Tennes
see line to the town of Buchanan, and to
correspond with like committees in other
countries.
It is stated in the Elizabethtown (New
Jersey) Journal, that Mr. Thomas Day,
while lately in the act of putting a board
over a vessel, containing about a_ peck of
lime, upon which he had just poured water,
was totally blinded by the lime exploding
from the bcototn, covering his face, and ap.
parently fastening the eyelid to the ball of
the eve.
Presbyterian Church.
It may be satisfactory to our readers to
know the form in which the controversy in
the Presbyterian Church is presented for
trial in the Supremo Court of Pennsylvania.
The General Assembly of that church is a
corporation of this State. James Todd,
Frederick A-Raylold, Esquires.and others,
Trustees al pot by that portion of the
church callefl thii — "New School," in May
last, having been refused seats at the board.
obtained from the Supreme Court a writ of
quo warranto against the Rev. Dr. Green
and others,uppointed to the same station by
the old school party, to show by whose au
thority they hold their seats; and thus the
ifuestion of authority to elect Mr. Todd and
his associates comes up, between the two
bodies claiming to be the General Assembly.
Although the name of the Commonwealth
is used, the public have no more interest
than in any other suit, and Judge Sergeant,
sitting at Nisi Prius, therefore refused the
preference to which the Commonwealth is
generally entitled, if demanded by the At
torney General, who, in this cause was not
present and had not authorized the counsel
of the relators to ask a preference. Al
though both parties were ready for trial the
cause takes its place in the docket, and by
consent of parties has been postponed till the
next court of Nisi Prius in February, when
niter the facts have been decided by a jury,
ho case, it is presumed, will be finally de
ermined by the court in bank, at Marc!
erm.—National Gazette.
We learn from the Philadelphia United
States Gazette that a draft from Cincinnati,
purporting to be for five thousand and twen
ty dollars, was presented and paid at the
Uuited States Bank on Saturday. On ex
amination at the closing of the bank, it was
discovered that k the draft was originally for
one hundred and twenty dollars: but the
words one hundred had been taken out and
fine thousand irserted. The police of the
city are in search of the person who com
mitted the crime.
Married at Ashfield, on the 2l'st ult.,
Mr. Chileab Smith, in his ninety seventh
year, to Widow Jerusha Ware, of Hebron,
N. Y., in her eighty.second year. This
makes Mr. Smith's fourth wife. He has
labored on tt farm ever since he was five
rears of ago—and up to last summer per
formed on the scythe, through the season of
haying, equal to a man of thirty years
His love has evidently been universal, and
ever on thq march. He I:as living within
three and a half miles of him, nine great

'TILE DIFFERENCE.
j Teannot ho denied that whilst many med
icines which are recommended to the,
public, have not even the negative merit of
harmlessness, there are others which it
would be great injustice indeed and ruicidal
prejudice to involve, untried, in a comnion
condemnation. And when a medicine comes
endorsed with all the great profession, and
warranted by the seal and signature of long
and uniform success, its proprietor inches
no unreasonable demand upon public confi
dence,when he claims for it a superior con
sideration.
THE CAMOMILE PREPARATION
of Dr. Evans, of New York, is undeniably
entitled to this ehviahle distinction; for w hi kt
no medical authority in existence condemns
it, every medical, work which alludes to it,
and every medical practitioner that is ac
quainted with it, freely acknowledges its
pre-eminent virtues; and that the latter
should do so in opposition to their personal
interests, must be attributed either to their
candor and love of truth, or to their unwill.

and the testimony of thousands.
Dr. W. EVANS does not pretend that

they will not. lie lays no claim to the dis•
covery of the "Philosopher's Stone, and

ful debility occasioned by the use of purge

delirium tremens, or that disease which is
brought on by intemperance; in the wretch
ed horrors of the mind and body which ac•
crue from occasional inebriety, in the loss
of appetite; languor, melancholy, pains in
the head, limbs or side; in corrupt, sallow,
and uncomely complexions,which arise from
the bad state of the fluids; in all these cases,
and in some others mentioned in the bills
and directions given with his medicines, he
does sa y,t hat the Camomile Pill interchang
ed occasionally with his aperient family
pills, (the best known) which are sold with
them, will affect immediate relief; and if us- '
ed but for a fair period of trial, a perfect
cure. This much is placed beyond doubt,
by daily testimonies which would be given
on oath; and for this touch Dr. W. Evans

of the turbulence and almost anarchy of the day,
that we can find something in this State paper to
commend. We refer to the tone and spirit of the
remarks in relation to affairs on our Canadian
frontier. Had the same principles been cherished
and acted on by the friends of the President in this
state, the Capitol would not have been desecrated
by the scenes of Vandal outrage of last week.
The President takes occasion to have another

cull the attention of our readers to the
occJunts contained in our paper of to-day, of the
lawless and outrageous proceedings of the last
week at the seat of government. We ask our read
ers seriously and solemnly to pause and reflect up
on their tendency—are the horrible scenes of rev
olutionary France to be re-enacted here? Are the
people ,disposed patiently and silently to look on
whilst the M A RATS end ROUESI'!ERKES of
America are overawing the action of the Legisla
ture and constituted authorities by means of a hired
and ruffian mob of incarnate fiends!
We call upon all who love their country and its
institutions, their own rights, and the safety of
their families to hold themselves in readiness to do
their duty under these portentous circumstances.
Do nothing rashly, or unadvisedly; ho calm, cool
but determined; and if we must have a Revolution
whose avowed object is to substitute anarchy for
legal government; if blood must flow, let yours
flow in defence of law and order!
We regret to learn that among the most violent
leaders of the mob, were to be found some of our

WLDNESDAY MORNING, Dee. J. 1838.
Yesterday was a day of intense excitement and
witnessed scenes truly disgraceful to the Com
monwealth. We shall attempt a faithfui sketch.
At an early hour the Representative Hall was
crowded with members elect and spectators to the
number of several hundred. It was manifest that
scenes new in our history would bo enacted.
Philadelphia county seemed to have furnished a
goodly number of actors on the occasion, and sent
them to Harrisburg. But our friends, the Demo
crats, like their fathers of old at the Boston tea.
party, behaved with admirable coolness and firm.
moos, determined to "ask nothing but what is
clearly right, and submit to nothing wrong."
It was given out that at eleven A. M., the
House would convene. A few moments before
the hour, Mr. Hill, of ‘Vestmoreland, a Locotoco,
made a few remarks of a mild character, insisting
on the spectators in the galleries to preserve order,
and at 11 precisely he called the House to order,'
by moving that the Clerk of the former session,
(Mr. P. 11. Shunk,) nct as Clerk in organizing,
which was agreed to. Thu Secretary of the Com
monwealth was then introduced, and presented,
according to law, the sealed returns which had
been placed in his office. The Clerk then pro
ceeded to open the packet and break the seals,
when he read the returns from the cily of Phila
delphia. He next took the returns from the coon.
ty of Philadelphia, and was preparing to read the
legal returns, when Mr. Pray, who claims a scat
from that county; moved that the reading of the
returns furnished by the Secretary he, dispensed
with and presented another return, which he said
was attested by the hand and seal of the Prothon.
otary, and was therefore the proper one, and mov
ed it be read!
Mr. 'l'. S. Smith, of the city, protested earnestly
against receiving the return of Mr. Pray, insisting
that the Secretary of the Commonwealth is the
only legal channel through which a return can
reach the House, mid that no v to or decision on
the legality of any paper could be had till the
House was organized, the members from the city
being the only ones whom we yet know officially
ja be members. Tho only ovidenco of meruher-
Oi l ) which could in the first instance Ire received,
MMMM
;ticc.
-
was the return furnished by the Secretary, and
the Talmud might as well be read as any other re
turn. He insisted that the law should be acted
up to.
Mr. APElwee, of Bedford, then arose and in
his usual style harangued the audience in the
galleries, dealir•.g largely in invective against tile
Secretary. He was after some time, checked by
Mr. Spunk and Mr. Pray, when Mr. Hopkins of
Washington, moved that both returns be read.
No vote was taken on this motion, but the clerk
was allowed to proceed with the re..ding of the
return fornished by Mr. Pray, (as had no doubt
been previously agreed upon,) which having finish
ed, he tipni read the legal return, which of course
gives the democratic Whigs seats, whereas, Mr.
Prey's return gives the seats to the Locofocos.
The Clerk then went on to read the returns
from :he ether counties of the commonwealth,
which he did without interruption.
, s;teve:rs then rose and said, that as there
,vould doubtless be difficulty in settling the vexed
question, the membera differing in opinion as to
the mods of settlement, he would make a propo_
ration to all those who wore disposed to proceed
according to law, and who believed the Secretary
of the Commonwealth to be the only Laker or in
dividual, authorized by the Contattution and laws
to present returns to the house: And he hoped
that any action which might take place would be
ia good temper—which would be the best evi
, deuce of an honest dilierence of opinion. Ho be.
hewed that the only mode of proceeding authorized
by law, was to take the evidence of the Secretary
of the Commonwealth. as to who are membere,
until the House is duly organized and ready to
act on the question deliberately and to order. If
wo are wrong, said he, there a:o tribunals and
laws, and their judgment we will summit to; and
he hoped that the dignity of the Commonwealth
and her laws, would be regarded in the persons of;
her representatives.
Ile tlte❑ proposed that tellers be appointed, and
the House proceed to organize; and he hoped
thnt th use who thought with him would vote for
those tellers.
He said it might happen that two Speakers
would be chose ri, but as the difficulty merely
springs front difference of opinion, it was to be du.
sited that all would proceed in perfect harmony—
perfect quiet, and perfect peace. lie then nomi.
fluted .lilei,srs. Watts of Erie, and Zeilin of Dela-
ware, as tellers.
Mr. Hopkins then rose and said, as there were
two returns from Philadelphia county, ha would
move that the following persons (naming Pray
and the other lot ofocos) take their seats as Lum
bers.
Mr. T. S. Smith said, he hoped those who
hought with him would not vote on the question,
as he apprehended that as yet the House was not
empowered to do it.
Mr. Hopkins at once moved that the clerk act
as teller and call the names of the members, which
he did, when the tellers nominated by Mr. Stevens
also began to call. Now a scene of orderly dis.
order ensued. The tellers, Watts und
proceeded steadily to call all the names Of the
members, and of our friends freer Philadelphia
county,) Mr. Spunk called all the names, and of
the Locolocos from the county—when T. S. Ces-
NI :gnu m a Mercer, was duly elected, having re
ceived 52 votes, and none being cast against him.
Mr. Cuxxizien•Ni was conducted to the chair
and tb-ak his seat.
Mr. Shunk continued to call, and when through l i
—the Locufucos only answering—aunounced W.
Hoearss, of ‘Vashington, as Speaker !
Geni.,Cunningham, in the meantime, had been
duly sworn in by Mr. T. S. Smith, and had he
gun to swear in the members, as is usual.
Mr. Hopkins being announced, the Locofocos,
—ruffians. members and ull,—began to stamp end
clap and yell furiously, and so great was the up
roar for a moment that the Representative Hall
seemed converted into a den of fiends.
Gen. Cunningham and the tellers behaved with
admirable coolness, and proceeded with the busi
ness as if nothing unusual were enacting, as they
were determined to pursue the course pointed out
by the law, regardless of consequences.
Messrs. Spackinan and T. S. Smith were ap
pointed a committee to inform the Governor that
the House was organized and ready to proceed to
business. Messrs. Cunningham of Huntingdon
and Crabb were appointed a similar committee to
the Senate. And Messrs. Cox, Stevens and Day,
were appointed a committee to report rules for the
government of the House; it was also resolved
that the rules of the last House be adopted.
A motion was now made and carried, that the
House adjourn till half past two today.
The locofocos, with Hopkins at their head,
proceeded to swear themselves in, and appointed
committees, &c. They adjourned about two
o'clock
‘Ve. present these facts to the people, confident
of their approval of the course pursued by our
friends, who have nobly stood up for the LAWS
AND CONSTITUTION of their country.
Nothing can exceed the conduct of the Loco.
feces, fur lilackguardisni and brutality. They
seemed to consider the Hall a forum fur devils in
carnate to hail their fellow spirits in.
It will be a question for the Supremo Court to
decide, we presume, on which side the laws lay,
but to our minds it is very clear. Our friends
have stood up fur their rights, and will be sustain
ed ; if not, our free government is the despotism
of a licentious gang of marauders, who neither
respect their own rights or those of any others.
The Governor and Senate will doubtless recog
nize the House as organized by the election of
Mr. Cunningham, as the only legal body, and the
Locofoco insurgents will he no more regarded
than so many individuals who had not been be
fore the people for their suffrages. The times are
pretentious,
The Senate met at three o'clock, P. M., and was
called to order by the Speaker. On calling the
roll twenty-six Senators answered to their names.
Mr. Myers, of Delaware, now objected to Mr. Pen
rose taking his seat as Speaker, but was promptly
called to order.
The Clerk procceied to read the returns of the
late election. Mr. Bell, of Chester, was returned
as duly elected. The Democratic Whig members
from Philadelphia county, Messrs. Hanna and
Wagner, it appeared were duly returned.
Mr. Brown oared return from Philadelphia
county, which was mgt received by the Speaker.
Mr. Carpenter offered a resolution calling on the
Secretary for any papers in his °Bice relative to
the late ele.:tion. Mr. Pearson called fur theyeas
and nays. Mr. I.'l-Ailey, of Schuylkill, wished to
know how many manes were • affixed to the re-
turns, which were read. The Speaker then decid
ed that no debate could be bad on the motion to
'proceed to the second rehding and consideration'of
the resolution, from which decision Mr. Rogers
uppeslCd. The Speaker then declared the grounds
on which ho had decided. After some converse-
Senate.
Lion the appeal was withdrawn, when tho resolu
tion was negatived.
Mr. Pearson said, it was impossible for him to
understand the return from the eighth Senatorial
district, composed of Huntingdon, Milnin, Juniata,
Perry, and Union counties, and he moved that the
persons returned be not allowed to take their seats
—(being four in number, the law only calling for
two)—tiil the other Senators elect are duly sworn
in, and that they be postponed till that time.
Mr. Myer called for the reading of the general
return, which was read, and which gives the Lo-
CO3: seats.
Mr. Fraley, of Schuylkill, objected. Mr. Pear
eon urged his motion, ns the return gives evidence
on its face of being illegal, giving returns only
from tour counties out of a district which is com
posed of five counties.
The yeas and nays were called, and were 13 for
to 8 against.
The Senate then proceeded to the election of
Speaker, on motion of Mr. Irvin. . .
CIIkIILE9 B. Ps:lnns!: was duly elected, haliiing
received 10 votes, and Samuel N. Carpenter f).
Mr. Penrose voted for Mr. Pearson, Mr. Carpen
ter for Judge Myers. Mr. Hays did not vote.
On taking the chair, to which he was conducted
by Messrs. Carpenter and Irvin, Mr. P. made a
neat and appropriate address. Mr. Carpenter ad
ministered the cusaimary oath.
Mr. Rogers said ho had heard the return from
Philadelphia county read, as sent by the Secreta
ry
of the commonweal.h, but he had in his posses
sion another return—the legal one—which ho
wished to present to the Senate.
The Speaker was of opinion that the returns I
could not be received, but a petition might be pre -1
sented, under the act of 1791, on which a com
mittee may be raised, in order to investigate the
!natter. So it was not received.
The clerk then calf 11 up the newly elected mem
bers, to be sworn, when Mr. Rogers objected to
the Senators elect from PhiWel !hie county tak
img their seats. He afterwards moved to postpone
the swearing of the Senators for the present.
1 Mr. Pearson addressed the Senate at some length
very ably, in opposition to the motion. After some
animated debate, rho motion was negatived, yeas
9, nays 12. The nriv members were then cworn
in, when a scene of riot ensued beyond all descrip
tion, and which finally obliged the Senate to ad
journ, when the mob took possession of the Hull,
and was. addressed by Mr. Bell, John C. M'Cohen,
of Philadelphia county, and Mr. Brown. it finally,
dispersed, after having disg.aced the State Capitol.
We know not what will be done to day, but we
do know that this spirit of riot and disorder will
find no countenance among the people of the coun
try; and that no Philadelphia mob will dissolve
the government of Pennsylvania.
WEI/NE51).4.11 EVENING, Doc. 5, 18
This morning the Locofocus oommenced opera-
I Lions, by a meeting in the Court House, at which
sundry threats were made that the arms in the
State Arsenal should ha taken by fm,:e, to drive
the "tyrants, ' (as they styled the Governor, San
ate, and Cabinet,) "hem power." ' About ten
o'clock, an order was sent from the Governor to
the keeper of the Arsenal, to raise a force to de
fend it; whereupon he enrolled a posse of tweti-ty
. five men, and stationed them in the building. illy
this time the Locofoco branch of the House of
Representatives had met to go on with their move
, merits, and soca adjourned, when a ezr.sideratile
mob collected in front of the Arsenal. A commit
!
tea was than appointed by the Loccfocoe to confer
I with the friends of law and order,and induce them
Ito withdraw the force from the Arsenal. It was
then solemnly agreed upon, that the moh would
withdraw, and tie keeper of the Arsenal e;ould
pledge himself that no arms should be taken out
for any purpose. Tho mob then withdrew, and
soon after the garrison was dismissed, as the best
mode of obtaining quiet, under the circumstances.
This was about 1 o'clock P. M.
In the meantime, the Senate had met at the Gov
ernor's house, when Mr. Fe m.cavre N was appoin
ted as Speaker to proceed to the chamber and then
adjourn the Senate for to-day. It was not deemed,
at that hour, at all safe for Mr. PEN HOS I: to enter
the Chamber, as it was crowded to excess with
the mob who had the evening before called for his
blood.
After the garrison of the Arsenal had adjourned,
a considerable number of the rioters asscinbl«l iu

their orators delivered several inflainatory ad
dresses, but us a heavy rain was- descouding•at
the time, they soon dispersed.
The Governor has issued the following procla

themselves in readiness to aid in preserving civil
government, in case the rioters persisted in their
revolutionary measures:

from the counties of Philadelphia, Lane•as•

at the seat of Government, with the avowed
object of dititurbing, interrupting and over
awing the Legislature of this Connonwealth,
and of preventing its proper organization
and the peaceable and free discharge of its
duties.
AND WHEREAS: The said mob have
already on this day, entered the Senate
Chamber, and in an outrageous and violent
manner. by clamoring, shouting, and throat.
ening violence and death to some of the
members of that body, and other officers of
the Government; and finally, by rushing
within the bar of the Senate Chamber, in
defiance of every effort to restrain them,
compelled the Senate to suspend business.
AND WHEREAS: They still remain in
force here, encouraied by a person who
is an officer of the General Government
from Philadelphia, and are setting the law
at open defiance, and rendering it unsafe for
the Legislative bodies to assemble in the
Capitol:
THEREFORE, This is to call upon the civ-

upon the militia force of the Commonwealth,
to hold themselves in instant readiness to

hoisted at the head of newspapers end re•
commended in the Pros dent's Message,
these are only the die away tones which in
dicate the changing of the tune. The new
patent loco foci) humbug is the cry of A BO-

of the southern people, because they are the
last hope of the President, who has been de

on Massachusetts, and has totally lost the
Northern and Eastern sections of the Union.
The last desperate struggle of the adminis

by endeavoring, through the agency of

progress of the abolitionists, of whom Nita

he is the decided opponent. They endea•

"It is vain to endeavour to subdue the freedom
of opinion in the South, or to curb its exprosgion
