and there, only few struggling bulls, we found
it would be necessary to mount the ridge, and
look for cows on the other side, as no fair sign
OF the right game had yet appeared. Accord
ingly, we scrambled upward, and, with great
labor, at length reached the summit.
A scene here opened upon US such as we
had never before conceived, and, perhaps, quite
impossible to convey in description. Thick
forests covered the mountain, half the trees
standing, half Of them PROSTATE, and every one
dead. Nota particle of bark remained among
all these ghost-like remnants of gigantic, but
now blasted and extinct vegetation. The huge
rocks were swept bare of earth, by the violent
winds from which this chain derives its name
Nothing met the eye, in any direct on, but
naked granite and blasted trees. A feeling o.
intense awe chilled through our veins, anl
crept into onr hearts, as We guzed round upon
n scene that forced into the mind new and vas,
conception of desolation in subliIn,y Biz
rain drops were still beating against us, with
the force of hail stones, as they were driven al
most horizontally across the bleak mountain
top by the screaming wind. The tall pines
eaiess, barkless and branchless, stood in gap
ing cletts and fissures, pointing their spires into
the sky, like ghostly fingers upbariding their
destroyer! Many were pulpy with rot,enness
though still standing, upheld by the firm twin
ing of their roots among the rocks. Those tha,
had fallen, seemed as though they had crumbleC
to their descent without crash, so silent wa:

the white spec,re5 appeared listening, in desc
ate grandeur, as it flew over the mountain"

u TIE PHILADELPHIA R!oTs.-A large por.
ton of our paper, this week, is given up 10 an
account ofthe Philadelphia Riots. The riots are
made up of the dregs Of socety,-of abandoned,
reckless and unprincpled men, who have little
or nothing 10 loose or gain by the result. The
Native American" party used the whole OF their
power and influence TO keep. down these turbu-
lent spirits, and nanfuly defended st. Phi
lips Catholic Church, from the assaults OF the
mob but so Infatuated and reckless had they be-
come, that even the strong arm OF the military
was scarcely able 70 subdue them. The first Of.
fence was occasoned by the discovery Of nun.
Der of rnuskets, placed in ST. Philips Church, for
its protection. A number OF these were taken
from the church OH the 4th, If we mistake not,
and had then created considerable excitemsHt.
On Saturday last abont 70 more muskets, a keg
of powder and other ammunition, was discovered in
the church. This brought on renewal Of the
disturbances which ended in the dreadful! riot
and bloodshei The Governor arrived in the
city, and number of military from the country
also arrived. N such cases, severe and coer.

Great Democratic Gathering.


The Democratic meeting held at the Court
House, on Thursday evening, was one OF the
largest ever held in this county. Large dele
cations fom Selinsgrove, Penns township, Point
township and Northumberland, were in attend
nnce. The number III the procession, we learn
from those who counted them, was about 800
The Court House was thronged with men. No
women being present, nor were they necessary
10 encourage with their smiles the zeal and
patriotism of the orators The meeting. after
being organised, was ably and eloQuenty ad-
dressed by Mr. Sandcrson, of Bradford county,
Mr.. Elwell. Of do, Mr.. Knox, of Susquehan-
ma and Mr.. Kidder, of Luzerne.
The speakers were frequently aud loudly
eheered by the audience. The democracy
turned out much stronger than we expected.
As our farmers are in the midst Of their harvest
out comparatively few could attend from the
country. The meeting did not adjourn until II
O'Clock. The democracy Of this county has a.
Weakened up, and ii we do not greatly mistake
The signs of the times, they will give the old
fashioned democratic majority at the next e
lection. We have 10 room for further remarks
lhs week.

Dear, sir, your ob't servant,

From Mr. Clay's Raleigh Speech.
We must rJect both The doctrines Of free trade
and ofah 'gh and erorJiiant tarE The parti-
zans Of each must make some sacrifices of their
peculiar opinions They must find some com.
mon ground, on which both can stand, and reflect
that fneither has obtained all that il desires, it
has secured something, and what il does not re-
tain has been gotten by its friends and country
men. There are very few who dissent from the
opinion that in time of peace the federal revenue
ought TO be drawn from foreign imports, with
out resorting To internal taxation Here is ba
sis for accommodation, and mutual satisfaction
Let the amount, which is requisite for an econo-
mical administration of the government when
we are not engaged in war, be raised exclusively
on foreign imports, and in adjusting tariff for
that purpose let such determinations be made
as will foster and encourage our own domestic
industry. ARpariies ought 10 be satisfied ,chh

the same time that Governor Ford left Nauvoo,
the Prophet and his brother were killed, at Car

near as could be ascertained. We copy from
the Quincy Herald -
"Joe and Hiram were both confined in the
debtors room ofthe Carthage Jail, awaiting their
trial on a charge Of treason. The Jail was
strongly guarded by soldiers and AntiMormons
who had been placed there by the Governor.

from the window, when hundred balls enter

Immediately left for Nauvoo, to carry the news
of the death of the Prophet. 1t is feared that
the Mormons at Nauvoo will be so exasperatcd
as to exterminate the Governor and his small
force.
The Boreas brought down most Of the women
and children from Warsaw. 1t is feared their
town is in ashes before this.
Oar citizens were aroused this morning by
the ringing OF bells and call to arms Our
three independent companies are already in

the militia of this regiment, and the steamer

FRIEND FLAeG Enclosed you have copy
of an Extra issued at Quincy. We left Nau-

all was quiet. The Mormons had not heard OF
the deaths of the Smiths, as Gov Ford who
was encamped a few miles back, had (as sup
Posed) intercepted the messengers from Car
thage.
At Warsaw, all was excitement. The wo-
men and children were all removed, and an i'm

800 men armed and equipped for Warsaw, ca.

MIR, POLK ON THE TARIFF.

HENRY CLAY ON THE SAME SUBJECT
subject of the Tarif,-a subject more agitated in
Pennsylvania than any other, and upon which
the Presidential election must turn in this State
Immediately after Mr.. Polk's letter, we have
placed an extract of Mr.. Clay's speech at Ra-
leigh, N. c., one of his last efforts, made but a
few months since, By comparing the two it
will be seen that Mr.. Polk and Mr. Clay do not
widely differ in their views, in regard to the
tariff. Mr.. Clay has certainly abandoned the
high ground which he once occupied upon this
subject.

On board steamboat st Croix,
Friday evening, June ., lSii

Farther ParticularS.-On the 26th ut,
Gov. Ford had prevailed on Joe, and several of
the principal MormonS, TO resign themselves
into the hands OF the officers of justice, at
Carthage, to be tried by due course OF law.
Joseph and Hiram Smith, Doctor Richards,
and two others, were ncarcerated in the Han
cock County Jail, and guarded by the Govern
or's troops until this morning, when Govern
or Ford discharged the troops, except 90
already stationed at Nauvoo, and Il further re-
serve of 90, who to-day accompanied him to
Nauvoo to detect and annhlla,e the bogus
factory, leaving the prisoners in the safe and eff
cient keeping Of seven men Of the Carthage
Grays. Shortly after dlsbanding the McDon-
ongh troops, and the Governors departure for
Nauvoo a large body otnili;a, say 300, resol-
we'd to wait on the prisoners in their room.
This was the beginning Of trouble.
The faithful Grays could not consistently ad-
nit visters to prisoners accused OF treason and
other iclonies. The militia took efficient means
to convince the guard of their impotence, and
the opposing forces joined issue. The door was
forced, and Joe shot the foremost, named Wills,
through the wrist. general melee ensued'
in which pistols spoke eoqncnty and torclbly,
/ Five Of the militia were wounded, though slight.
/ ly. Joe Smith, endeayored to escape, preclpl'
tatcd himself from the window, receiving while
/ between heaven and earth some halt dozen shots
and five thereafter Hiram, and three Others
were killed within the prison.

1--WE have seen a gentleman who was IN Nau'
WOO on Friday, and who informs us that all was
