Signs in Pennsylvania.

a, large number Of the original anti
nlasons Of Pennsylvania refuse to give
their support to Mr.. Clay. Nearly all the
old leaders are out in opposition to him
The Pittsbu gh Post states that Ex-Gov-
ernor Rlrs is one of this number, as
are also Mr.. BURRowEs, his Secretary Of
Of State, and JAMES ToDD, Esq. his At
tOrney General. The Post says it was
understood at the time that Gov. Ritner's
appointment sas Superintendent of the
Mint was rejected by the Senate through
Mr.. Clay's fundamentally; and and Gov.
R. will now avail himself Of the opportu-
nifty to reciprocate the compliment. Srs-
VEINS, too-the great Thaddeus- it is said
withholds his support from Mr.. Clay.

Philade Iphia Riots.

Philadelphia, it win be seen from the
accounts in another column, has again be-
come the scene Of riot and bloodshed. As
in the case Of the outbreak which took
place few weeks since, the statements
given are probably exaggerated; bat
enough. doubtless, has occurred to sicken
the heart Of every lover Of his country
and her institutions. It is fearful crisis
in the situation Of State, when the laws
are openly set at defiance by an Infatuated
populace, and violence stalks abroad with
out any power to check It.

counts from oil parts Of the county, and we
feel authorized in saying that the ticket
gives general satisfaction, and will be voted
without scratching. What little disaffec-

nominations. Still, we would eNhort all

they must Be met BY corresponding efforts.

--Dem0crais latfcAd5
AT the close Of this harangue at The whig
gathering in this place, H. T. RErD, Of Fl.
Madison, assured those who were present
that "THE ENTIRE WHO TICKET WOULD
BE ELE TED IN LEE COUNTY; and :hereat
the wings who heard the annunciation sent
up . tremendous shout Of exultation. He
secuted at the idea Of there being 200 or
300 democratic majority in that county, as
claimed BY our friends, and boas;ed that
The t'loco focos'' were oststerribly fright
ened. We mention these facts in order
that our democratic friends il Lee may be
appraised Of the calculations Of their oppo-
nents, and adopt speedy and effectsal
ures to defeat them. The wing headers
have declared their belief that the political
destiny Of Iowa is involved in the result Of
the approaching election, and they will do
all that it is in the power Of men to do Ia
obtain the asccndancy.
To the democrats Of Lee we would say,
repose,not in security upon your undoubt-
ed strength, but act as though your oppo-
nents equalled you in numbers, and the is
sue depended upon superior zeal and ex-
ertion. Fritter not away your power, bun
use it, as you carr Q the inter discontinue Of
your antagonists. Vote together--vote
your ticket throughout and victory that
will demonstrate the aLsurdity Of even a
hope Of success by the wings viii be GER
tain. Let the fact that your county has
been pledged to the wings by one of their
leaders in your midst stimulate you to the
adoption Of iirmer resolves, and let all di-
visions, if any exist, be healed.

other lee the victory 80 most signal one
lie with the democracy. They have
elected three of the four members of Con-
gress. and have also carried decidsd ma
jority Of the Convention il favor Of free
suffrage and equal representation, and on
posed to the freehold qualification which
has hsrstdiore ssisted ii thst STATE. The
Legislature TOO i probably democratic,
though II i ! matter Of little importance,
as there are no Senators 70 elect. The
great struggle was for the Convention ;
and democrats everywhere will rejoice a
the result. The abolition Of the odious
property qualification will lose Louisiana
to the wing for all time TO come. The
popular vote is largely in favor Of the de-
mocracy, and all doubt ganishes as "a
which way the vote Of the State will be
cast in the Presidential contest. Polk
will get it BY large majority. Harrison,
in lS4O, had majority Of from 5000 ia
1000 in louisiana: and yet the wings deny
that any changes have taken place.
The flourish Of our neighbor in his last
Hawkeye over "the news from Louisiana
looks now rather awkward; and the
s'three cheers for Louisiana" given BY the
wings at the close Of their performances
on Saturday night last will have to Be "a
ken back. Huzza for the Creole State!
She has fired the first gun in the contest,
and has done dreadful execution upon the
wing line. -

bers of the Convention Fl ing their own

In the event of Congress agreeing h

legal opinion advanced III 4 communication
in the Hawkeye Of the 10th over the sig
nature Of "a Wing" were it 1t that I'M
derstood on the day thatthe democrats held
their convention that The reputed author Of
"A Wing" was busy in obtruding his legal
opinion upon members Of that body and
others, for the purpose, doubtless, Of defeat
ing the nominations Of the two gentlemen
whom he now styles bis friends, Col. Shep-
herd Letter and John d. Wright, Fsqr.
upon the grounds that they are ineligible
to hold seat in the convention to form q
consttution for the future State Of Iowa.
i y not my purpose now, Mr.. Editor TO
inquire into the sincerity Of the professions
offfiendship ofsA Wing for Messrs. Letter
and Wright, but to offer few remarks in
support ofthe adverse opinion which len
ertain, touching the qualifications Of these
gentlemen. And permit me here, sir, to

Democratic Barbecue.

It having been intimated to US that some mis-
ap rehension prevails Is to the day upon which
the free barbecue to be given to the democracy
Of the county is to be held, we take occasion to
cay that SATURDAY, THE I'D OF Au-
GUST, is the day designated BY the convention.
A vast congregation Of the democracy Of Des
Moines may be expected. Oar friends will set
the day apart A. general holiday, to prepare
themselves for the work Of the succeeding Mon
day. ss.ls.
