GENE.RAI, DREW.

We continuein our columns, tbis week, the call, made by citizens of ffleea counties, upon General DREw, to be the candidate of the Democratic party, for the office Of Governor, n place of Doctor Chap man. It will be noticed that another county is now represented in the call-by the addition of MT. P c. Rires' name to the list of signatures.
 h addition to this call, we invite attention to the proceedings of the people of JOHNSON, and LAW nENcE counties, assembedin in Conventions, in which General Drew has been unanimously nominated The time has been too short for many other counties to act in this matter; but we confidently expect to hear from them, cordial response to the nomination of General Drew. That the party will unite upon him, and that he will be trinmphanty elected, we do not entertain a doubt. Letterss from well in formed Democrats in several counties received since it has been understood that CHapmun had withdrawn, all concur in naming General DREW as the proper man to be Our candidate on this occasion. These concurrent recommendations, without consultation among those who make them, shey in tic dearest and most favorable light, the great popularity of General Drew; and that it is alike the interest and the duty of the party to adopt him, at once. as our candidate, as it will be to their honor to elect him
 We have been asked, in conversation, whether General Drew will acceptthe nominations Although not in possession of any authority from him, to an swer this question; yet, relying upon our knowledge of the man, and our confidence in his patriotism, we 1 take it upon ourself to assure the Democracy ol Arkansas that he to accept the nomination; and we hope 10 have 1t in power 10 present our readers next week, with his own declaration to that effect, In the mean time we naithis name to the mast head announce him as the only Democratic candidate for the office of Goyernor-and. in the name of the De- mocracy of Arkansas, call upon every man to do his duty

Brt. in truth and soherness how have the Louisiana elections re- suited? This question has been proposed 10 Us more than dozentimes, since last "Wednesday. We have been unable to answer it and for the simple reason
 that full returns had not and have not yet been re- ceiyed. Our latest New Orleans dates are to the 18th, at which time, although much was known. the
 ntre result had not been certainly ascertained All 'ha' Was known with certainty, as admitted we be- heVe' by both parties, was that--the Democrats had elected THREE out of the four members of Con- gress-that they had, also, elected large majority oi the State Convention, which would revise the State Constitution, and make it thoroughly Demo- crauc-that they had elected majority fof oae) in the State Senate and that il was vet undetermined whether the Democrats or Wings have majority in the House of Representatives; altho it is believed that the Wigs viii have small majority. eff inc Wings claim this as triumph, they are welcome to 1t; for few more like it will be worse for them than defeat We hope to.haye complete returns in

PHILADELPHIA RIOTS.

Philadelphia has, again, been the theatre of mob violence and riot. But little more than month has elapsed, since the spirit of ..Natye-Americanisn ; combined with Religious persecution attacked the Catholic lrish wantony murdered their unoffenanq men, women and children, and, yandal-iike. burned up their Churches and Libraries. On that occasion. the city authorities affected to oppose the mob and throw around the victims of persecution the protec ton of the law; but this Was so long delayed. and then done in way spiritess and inefficient. as to prove mere mockery of public justice and com mon humanity. Scarcely has the blood of those murders been dried upon the pavements-seareeIy has the smoke of those house burnngs ceased to as cend--scarey have the wailings Of destitute widows and ophanS ceased to cry to heaven for relief-he- for these ruthless scenes are re-enacted. Again show of opposition has been made by the city au- thorites; but, again, it has been inefficient. We are told hY the papers, in very pompous and cir cumstahal terms of the military, and police. being being called out in great orce-of various Generals. and Coonels, and Captains, being on the ground. with their martial hosts around them; and vet. in their very midst we find the coward mob destroying lives and houses; and that. too, almost without re- sistanee
 Fms last outbreak of mob violence commenced on the 4th or 5th of this montl-a new way, the PhIadelphians have, of celebrating the anniversary oi our National Independence As well as we can gather from the papers, the military remained very quiet doing violence to no one. until their continued presence became so offensive to the mob, as to draw an attack upon them, This induced them. in self. dJeaee, to fire and this in return, drew fire from the mob. During this several lives were lost=the exact number not asccrtained; but supposed to be some twenty or thirty
 Our latest intelligence nreatioa to these matters, is derived from the National Integencer of the 9th from which We copy the last elegraphic slip. as follows:

GaN- -p0IK,s- ACCEPTANCE.

We lay before our readers the subjoined eorres- pondence, containing Gov PoLK's acceptance of the Presidential nomination. It is characteristic of the man: plain and simple in stye-straigit forward and sensible in his yiewsdirect and pointed in his eX- pressons-and manly in his temper. If elected he will serve only one term. This is right; and leaves MT. Clay none of the advantage he expected on the "one term" hobby.

 NATION.
 We present below Says the Boston Post from the manuscript copies ill our posses sion, the correspondence between the com mittee of the Democratic National ConYen- tion and it's nominee for.the Presidency, the Hon. James K. Polk. His reply is short and appropriate. It will be seen that, if chosen, he IS determined not to be the candidate for a second term.
