RIOTS IN PHILADELPHIA.

This disgraceful movement has been now eiiec'u-
ally oue,led We took occasion, in the last number
of our paper to express our opinions on this subject
The nroection OF The laws must be extended to all
the citizens of this country Any attempt to Perse-
eu,e a class of our feow-citizens for any peculiar
y Of political or religious opinions should not be
tolerated by any friend of his country Our emf
grant population (so-called) are, for the most part
Republicans in feeling and principle, ardentiy at
tached to sentiments Of liberty, and useful, hard
working, enerprising, and brave citizens, We SIM
cerely hope that the EXTREMIST punishment OF The
law will be sed without stint on those who, part-
cpatng in The late Philadelphia riots, have done SC
much to reflect on cur happy institutions, and whose
disgrace scarcely be heightened by the severes
proceedings OF court of justice Especially, LEI

CRUMBS OF COMFORT.

The lntelligencer of this morning, after noticing
briefly some Of the movements in the Democratic
Darty, which indicate ap intention to Withhold Mr..
Van Buren, from the approaching contest and to
substitute Mr.. Tyler as the standard bearer, closes
its remorks with the following " cooin observations
alt is nearly certain, nevertheless, that Mr.. Van
Buren, will receive the nomination for the Presidency
at the Baltimore I" Democr atic' Convention and it
is quite certain that the Wings will beat with even
greater any other candidate whom the "Democ-
racy" may set up, than they will beat Mr.. Van
Buren,, should he be the mas"
If the above be no, significant specimen of sang
foid, then il is nothing at all. But the Integencer
is not the only Whis pres which has been seized
with an alarming fit OF indiGerenee.s On the contrary
they are almost unanimous in the oppression of the
opinion that any new man, and particularly Mr.. Ty-
Ter, would not afford them amusement; while at the
same tine, they have the surprising candor 10 admit
that Mr. Van Buren, is the strongest man that can be
run in opposition to Mr Clay, and that he would
afford them an animated and pretty respectable fight,
although, wi him for an opponent, they feel quite
certain Of success. Nay, so exceedingly anxious are
the Wing editors for Mr.. Van Buren, to be the stand.
ard-bearer Of the Republican party that they have
pretty gene ally become his adr ocaes and most lib
orally and generously labor to aid him in securing
the nomination. We understand that MIR. Clay him
self observed on Saturday most msgnanmously,
that il would be dshonorable in the Democratic
party not TO run Mr. Van Buren,.
From all these indications, we infer that in the
event Of the withdrawal Of Mr. Van Buren,, the
Wings will take mortal offence and will resent the
injustice done their trpOfie opponent We presume
they VIII be very angry. We presume it, because
they ars w much pleased with their prospects and
seem to be perfectly happy Hence, when Mr.. Ty-
Ter is substituted by the party for Mr.. Van Buren,,
we may expect an important change of tone in the
wing press. The Democratic party will be de.
nounccd as "dshonorable,n and the candidate. in.
stead of being compliment ed and sustained, as Mr..
Van Buren, is at pr sent, will be most savageIy a.,
sailed By the Wing press
The Wings have selected a candidate for them.
selves which exactly satisfies them aud there fore
We think is askioga little much for them to in
SIT on being permitted select ITS candidate also
TO their satisfaction, for the Z emocrati: party.
II IS true that all The arrangements Of the Wings
have been made and completed at an enormou. ex :
pense, with the view TO cheat Mr. Van Buren,. I,
IS also true tina, every thing that can be said, has
been sad, against Mr.. Tyler Hence it is no won.
