The Loco Polko's held meeting at DllPs
Ferry, Northampton county, on the 29h nll.-
Handbilis Of large size, denouncing Henry
Clay in true blackguard style. and supplicaling
and enlrea,ing the faithful 10 attend, were cir
cula,ed 'hroughou. Northampton and Monroe
for weeks previous. On The day stated, about
one hundred and fifty persons were present al
wha. had boldly been proclaimed would be
one OF the greatest oui-pourings of the Democ-
racy ever held in the Mount Belhels. The
meeting was addressed by Parson Jones" OF
EasIon, and by " Our Jimmy" and from wha,
we have heard, The speech of the latter must
have been remarkably chaste and gen,lemanly.
Oh how bad Clay would have felt had he been
there TO hear iri!
There is consistency in Parson jones' es-
pousing the cause of Parson Muhlenberg, with
which we are no. disposed TO find fault
Amongst the resolutions adopted was one rea-
tive to General Markle, the Wing candidate for
Governor, which by merely substituting the
name of 4" Polk" for that of 4" Markle," and in
ser,ing United States" instead of "Pennsyl-
vania," applies so much better to the Loco loco
candidate for The Presidency than it does TO
the Wing candidate for Governor, that we can
no, help giving il with the changes above re-
ferred 10.
Resolved. Tha, the fact of James K Polk,
the Loco-foco candidate for President, being
utterly unknown 10 the grea, body of the Peo
pie of the United States, and not heard of be-
vond the confines of the Stale in which he re-
sides before he became the candidate of the
Loco-foco, Texas and anli-Iarlif party aud
the fact of his having been on several occasions
overwhelmingly defeated for office in his own
State, is conclusive evidence that the great and
important interests of our country could not
safely be entrusted TO his hands.
lfihose who have read the original resolu-
ion win refer TO il again, we feel satisfied that
they will agree with US that, as altered, it ap-
plies mos, aply TO James X. Polk.

Loco F0cO Tactics.

The Locos are siraining every nerve TO pro.
duce The impression that their cause is in the
ascendant, and will triumph al the coming cleo
lions. They know the desperate condition to
which they have been reduced, and that their
forces are distracted and dismayed--hence their
efforts at deception. They proclaim that great
changes are going on among the people, in ia
vor ol Polk and Dallas. That many who have
heretofore professed friendship to Henry Clay,
are deserving the Wing ranks, and joining the
scattered lorces of Locofocoism. They parade
long lists of names, in their columns, of persons
who once stood high IN our party, bu, who have
now. they say, deserted us. Not satisfied with
this. they even publish some of their own re-
turning prodigals, from The lrailorous embrace
of Tylerism, and claim them as fresh from the
Wing side.
Such demonstrations as these, however. are
not to be mistaken for genuine ebulliions Of
popular feeling. They are TOO lame even 10 de-
ceve the most thoughlless of The Wing pha-
lanx. Indeed, they are SO shallow, that but
very, very few, Of their own party give Gre
dence 10 them. The honest and consderate
portions Of the loco foco parry look about them
and see that ins,ead of gaining, they have lost
ground, since lS4o. They also see tina. every
where the Whig party is united, and will rally,
with additional strength, around The standard
OF their noble leader. The lies and decep,ons,
therefore, which the loco foco leaders are try
ing 10 practice upon thei, followers, must ul,i
maiely produce Iheir owa confusion. They
canno, iniure Henry Clay, or the Whis parry.

Another Riot.

The peace and Quie, of PhiIadel phia has been
disturbed by another popular outbreak. and The
lives and properly of citizens sacrificed. The
difficulties began on Friday evening, when a
number of firearms were discovered in ST.
Philips (Carholic) Church, Southwark, and
continued down 10 Monday afternoon. when
compromise was entered into between The Reg
uiarly constituted authorities of Southwark, and
the Mili,ary,--by which the former agreed to
prolec. life and properly, on the withdrawal of
the latter from the District, On Sunday and
Sunday night, the Military and Rioters were at
open war, and many of both were killed and
wounded. The Governor had arrived, and is
sued his proclamation 10 the neighboring Cen
erals 10 hold their troops in readiness TO march
TO the City on The shortest notice, in case the
civil authorities were insufficient to preserve
peace and order. This rio, is disgrace to the
City and County, and all participants in it should
be brought 10 speedy and severe punishment.

The Whig Tariff.

In Pennsylvania. where they know il would
be utter bgh, and destruction to all their pres

riff of ls42, the Loco Focos, profess grea, love
for ii. But in New York, the party proclaims
its real principles, AID goes into baule under
the banner of its ancient Free Trade doctrines.
Those doctrines, correspond exactly with The
sentiments of their candidate James K Polk !;
and are utterly destructive TO the prosperity Of
The country. The New York Pebiaa, the
Polk organ in the City, speaks ou, upon the
subjec. in The following remarkable terms, which
would do honor to j. c. Calhoun, the prince of
Nullifers.
We tell the Wings, thai ualess they desire

This is the true Loco foco doctrine, free trade

From the Daily Forum of Monday.

There were runors in Southwark early on Fri

soon collected, and the gathering, after dark,
increased TO thousands.
IL was with the utmost difficulty that Doug

About eleven o'clock the "Union Fencibles, :"
Captain Lee, came upon the ground. Their
commander, IN brief speech, gave The mob
five minutes to disperse, and soon there were
very few persons left upon the spot. No fur

During the whole of Saturday much excite.

The melancholy Disturbances in the district
of Southwark have no, ceased and the feeling
of excitement aud anxiety continued intense all

a continuation of Sunday nights doings
The firing between the Native American Re-

O'Clock, Monday morning, when il ceased. Du-
ring this time, there was more destruction Of
life than was ever before known in this county
while The damage to properly from balls,
siugs, &C. was very great.
BY far the greatest loss of life and limb, was
on The part OF the citizen sodiery, the Natives
having carried death and destruction nlo The
ranks Of The military.
The Natives had four pieces of cannon, whsh
were worked by sailors and waermen, with un-
exampIed tact and ability Their mode Of al.
tack was TO load a, distance, with pieces Of
iron and other metals, such as nails, pieces of

the measures of the Liberty Party. We
predicted, in The columns Of the Colored
American, some years ago, that this pc.
lilical party would fail, as political par
ty, to oollsh slavery. Our reason then
was and now is, that the party must fail
10 abolish slavery, because Rshas changed

adopted for srlf. The party aims aI---not
the abolition of slavery--butthe posses.

more than they hate slavery, and they

LoCoFoCoIsM IN ITS TRUE CHARACTER.
The regular meeting of the Locofoco
association Of this village, was held on
Saturday the Goth of June, and after the
usual TRADE of misrepresentation on the
subject ofthe Tariff, and such displays of
ignorance and party malignity as have
heretofore characterized and distinguished
Locofoco oratory at this place the bust
ness of the night, was appropriately
closed by displaying their love for an open
and gentlemanly contest, in dastardly
and midnight attack upon the Clay Club
Flag Staff: Thus showing Locofocoism
true to the instinct that marked its birth
at Tammany Hail, and ushered it into ey-
istence associated and identified with the
destruction of the -four store ofEli Hart.
But not content with this act of coward
Iy meanness which they find is likely to
cost more than it is worh,--a still baser
act is attempted, (by way of Justification
in charging the Wings with an act that
we are authorized to say can be proved
to have been committed by loafer of
their own camp, if committed at all.
Ia making this exhibit of Locofocoism
in our village, it affords us pleasure TO
have it in our power TO make exceptions
of a few, whom we have reason TO be-
Ieve. neither participated in the act Of
meanness, nor approved it when done;
and among these honorable exceptions,
we notice the name Of, Gen. E.. Towner.
