RIOTS.

The dreadful riots in Philadelphia be-
tween the Native American Society and
the Catholic Irish, has subsided, The riot
Chat is the last one) YVES not in the city
proper, but in Southwark, adjoining the
city. 1t was suspected by some Of the
Naiocs, on the 4th July, that there were
arms in the Catholic Church of Saint Phil
ip, which then caused some gumbIing but
no violation of the law. On the morning
of the 5th, before day, an attack was made
ON the Natives in their encampment,
where they had celebrated the 4th. AZ
terWards an Irishman and some boys were
found with a large stick of wood endeavor-
ing to break open the Church Of St. Philip,
which was effected. Then the arms in
the Church were handed out by some of
the authorities. The determination SEEM
ed to be to destroy the church. The civil
and military was then called out and the
fight was between them and the mol. -
Some 10 killed and about fifty wounded.
TO trace these Philadelphia Riots to their
source, we think it resolves itself into .
quarrel between the Protestant and Cath
oIic Irish, as the ground work of the whole
difficulty, Some difference Of opinion
about the kind of Bible to be used in their
public schools, Though we cannot state the
diHerence) is charged to be at the bottom
Of all the difficulty. We know not who
is in fault. We only say, let the offended
majesty Of the law be vindicated. Let
whoever is in fault be punished by the
law and in no other way. Governor Por-
ter was there in person, issued his procIa-
nation, and took effective measures to
keep and preserve the peace. All was
quiet by the last mail

FALSEHOOD

lowing bareiaced and impudent falsehood
hung up in large letters on the first page

QUESTION, BOTH FOR ANNEXATION,
and there is no difference between FIRE.
inghuysen and Dallas, on the same ques-
ton; both are torit."
Our readers will remember that the let
ters of Clay and Polk on Texas, were both
given in this paper, and as opposite as the
poles in every particular And we do
think, that a man who can state a matter
to be fact in such positive terms, as does
the editor Of the Aurora, and that too,
when he knows it to be a base, 'ojtut and
deliberate Eaischood, made in the teeth Of
evidence "sirOHg as ho5y wrt," ought TO
cease Prating about either morals or reli-
gion. We noticed in his paper week
Or two since, that this same "Aurora' man
charged Mr.. FreHnghuysen with being a
slaUe-hoLdcr. Verify he mustsuppose that
mankind are as stupid as he is himself dis
honest if he expects them to believe him.

would say that OF his own knowledge, he
knew Mr.. Clay would gamble, we might
attach some credit to the story; because we
believe the Judge has some experience in
that way himself. The Judge islas we

LOUISIANA RIGHT SIDE UP!

We copy the following from the 'Daily
.attas," d Cincinnati paper, Of the 10th
inst We think there is no doubt of its
correctness. The Lokeys last year elected
the whole four members of Congress to
which the State is,entitled. This year the
Wings put up no oppositisn in two of the
districts. In one Of the two contested
districts, the Wings have elected their
candidate by an overwhelming majority,
whilst in the other (Which lies along the
borders Of Texas the poll, as will be seen
below, has been unusually close, and the
whole ground fought by the inch. Proba-
bly, the Lokey is elected by some rs Or 100
votes. Thus the Wings have gained one
member Of Congress, and beyond all doubt
a majority Of the Legislature, as will be
seen below. We must confess that the
result is surprising to US as well IS our ad-
Versaries. We know that the great inter-
est felt for the annexation Of Texas in that
State--the Texan Scrip and land holders
the holders of the Texas Bonds, &C.,
generally reside in Louisiana, and Judging
from the influence which all these combin-
ed must have on the election; we think |
the result is such as to keep the BOOSTERS
of our opponents on their backs No

GC7~The Crisis man, in his last paper dis
courses Of one of our editorials as follows,
"Wesuppose the article in the Free Press,
to which we alIudo, is one Of Vans SUbjath
editorials, it smacks so strongly Of the odor
of sanctity!"
What lie Crisis man means by the above
we are left to conjecture, as well as wheth-
er he himself knows any thing about sane
tity: but from the language and the con-
neXion with the eglicle to whichit belongs,
we suppose he intended to convey the
idea that we write "Ediorials" on "Sob-
bath" day. We suppose he expected to
prejudice the strict oabbatarians Of the
country against us, by his inuondo; md
that too without iDcurring any risk to him
self. lie is mistaken. His insinuation
will not avail him. If he will take care
of himself on the SABBATH, and not
endeavor by his cowardly inuendoes, tc
losten charge upon us by induecuon
which he dare not make openly, it will per-
haps save time!! In short, if the man Of
the Crisis would tell US, that we wrote the
article alluded to on the SaJJath, we would
answer him with a monosylIobe Of very
indigestable character, and with such he
may now consider himself answered.

same distance Of Carrolton, who has gone
over TO the Lokeys since 1910, we would
ike to hear his name. We are informed,
from source that leaves no doubt, that
several oftho neighbors of Judge Patterson
think Of Polk and Dallas just as does the
Judge, and will vote for Clay and Freling-
huysen. If the Crisis man would tell US
of some Of the changes to Polk and Dallas
from the Wings in Carroll, we would like
to know where they live, perhaps the Or
gan ofPolk can inform us. We shall see.
