judges appeared TO have signed those returns,
and after having been informed The number, said
that they were not the legal returns, but that lie
held in his hands the true ones, which he would
forward to the Clerks desk.
Mr.. Hopkins, Of Washington also Loco Foco,
then moved that both returns be read; which no.
ton was submitted Ivy the Clerk and declared
10y him to be carried. Upon his commencing,
however, TO read the returns handed TO him ~by
Mr. Pray, Mr. T. S. Smith, from the CITY, arose,
and in brief, MIDI and argumenive manner
protested on behalf of hlmselfand those who ac-
ted with him, against the reading Of any paper
purporting 10 be the returns of an election that
were not received through The only channel
known to, or recognised by law, viz: The hands
oi the Secretary of the Commonwealth. After.
Mr.. Smith had concluded, the Clerk, Disregard
ing this re;nonstrHnce, continued to read the pa
pers handed TO him by Mr. Pray, winch went on
to declare tint Mr. Pray and his colleagues bad
been elected. He then took up and read the
returns handed in by the Secretary of the Com
mon wealth, which showed the election to have
resulted in favor o!the Wing candidate. After
this followed the reading of the returns from
the balance of the Stnte and after all had heen
gone through with, Mr. Stevens arose, and in
formed the member present that il was his inten
ton to move that they proceed to Eel cot Spra-
kerr and that Messrs Watts, of Erie, and Zrln
of Delaware, act as Tellers.-The motion (nfter
some very eloquent aud able remarks, in which
he declared it TO he the determination OF all those
with whom he acted, TO proceed in The most
perfect order and quetude, and hoped those who
differed with him would prrsue similar course
was then taken and carried
The .teIIcrs appointed by this resolution then
proceeded 10 the Speakers desk and called over
the names OF the members elect when 1t was
nscertaned that ifytwo had voted for Thomas
S. Cunnn5 CHAM, who therefore declared by
terrs TO have been duly elected. The Speaker
was then conducted 10 the chair by Nessrs Ste
vens and Reed, and the customary oath admin
s,ercd to him by Mr. Thomas S. Smith. Mo-
tons TO appoint committees 10 wait upon the
Governor and Senate, and inform them of the
House being organized, were sevcray made by
hlessrs Spackman and Cox and adopted.
MIR Crahb moved that until further notice the
House shall meet at half past o'clock on the at-
ternoon of Wednesdays, Fridays. and Mondays;
aud ut 10 o'clock ON the mornings Of Thursdays,
Saturdays, and Mondays. After which, on mo-
ton of Mr. Stevens, tie House adjourned. Du-
ring the time ;hat these proceedings occupied
The House, the Loco Focos organized themsel-
YES alter admitting their county members Ivy
motion, and elcc!ng MIR Hopkins Speaker. M
HOPKINS took the .rIajr "+fre.,e" tes-rent}
day before SO much for the proceedin gs in
the House : and for the sake of the character of
PENNSYLVANIA, | wish could stop here, but the
scene in the Senate Chamber one that for
ever vii! disgrace the State of Pennsylvania, 81
cover the actors in it with eternal shame.
" hat will he said by The respectable and So
her people of PENNSYLVANIA, when they know
HAT the chamber OF one OF the branches of their
Legislature has been taken possession Of by a
ruthless and uitriatcd mob, hea led by an Of
frcr under lhc general government. Yet as
ton ing and2 slockingas it uay appear, it is
nevertheless true, for at the time of my writing,
the Senate Chamber of Pennsylvania is in the
hands of a V. Is. mob, the Senators driven by
{ from their seats, which | ave been taken pos
session If by the mob, whilst a Post Office clerk
is addressing them. Where this will end God
only knows.
Since writing the above, the mob was dIsper-
sen at the request of MIR Brown, to meet to. NOR
row morning at o'clock, in the market house.
The two Senators from the County, Messrs Han
ma and Wagner, have been admitted to their
seats, MS also MIR Bell of Chester The two V.
b. nen from Huntington District, were rejected
account of informally in their returns.
We cut the following paragraphs from the
IIarrisburgh In,elligencer extra of Tuesday.
They will serve to show sill further the temper
OF the times.
The CRY FOR BLOOD Some months since
cry for BLOOD was raised in Philadelphia co.
The cry is raised again. Yesterday evening i'll
the Semitic Hall, it was prochin,ed by the rioters
that the blood of Mr. Penrose, Mr. Stevens and
Mr. Buwowes should be shed.
This we distinctly heard, we give it to the
penple to ponder upon.
THE SENATE DRIVEN FROM IT'S HALL !-lhe
Senate of Pennsylvania has for tue FIRST
TIME been driven from its Hall, because they
have dared TO support the Consttu,ionand Laws
of the State. 1t has been driven from its Hall
by a n,oh sent from Philadelphia county, and
headed by an officer ofthe General Government!
What think the People
To pAY-'Thc mob last evening adjourned to
meet in the Senate room today ut nine O'Clock.
The Senate had appointed TO meet at ten.--
Whether the proceedings will again he interrupt
ed remnns to he seen. If so, torDearance will
soon cease to bc n.virtue. .t
