Their behavior was admirable. Next day
they were discharged, and peace and good
order are believed to be restored, although
the Fory minority, true to their policy,
have done much to prevent the prosperity
ofthe country. On Friday, when the ex-
citement was at the highest, Mr.. George
Moffar, merchat and legislator, presided
over public meeting composed principal
| ly of the rioters, who asked the recall of
the Governor; but it is not true that Moffatt
has been arrested.
The Editor expects that the two Cana
das will unite in denouncing the rioters and
their more cunning prompters, and in ex-
pressing the fullest confidence in Lord Ell
gin and attachment to British connection;
and that the people Of England will not,
as in 1887, in Upper Canada, sanction the
violence of fractions few, seeking power
and office, and careless as TO the means
3 they employ to acquire them.

whatever opinion he chose, so that he had
not the independence to express them,
and he might be a Democrat or anything
else, if he only voted whig. Such man

Finding ont their Mistake,

Those Democrats who voted for Gen.
Taylor under the belief that he was not
whig, that he would not be bound to ad-
minister the government upon the princi-
Piles of any party, and that his numerous
promises to prescribe no man on account
of his political opinions, were made in
good faith, are fast finding out where they
missed it, since they have witnessed vi
olation of al! those pledges. The "Demo'
cratic Taylor men" of Philadelphia, says
the Pittsburgh Post, held meeting on the
2sth ult. of which George Lippard, Esq,
was chairman, and passed string Of reso
lutions, reminding Gen. Taylor Of his no.
party promises and pledges, and among
them was the following: J.
8. That, in our opinion. CABINET ap
pointnent should have been conferred up
t<on one Of the Democratic supporters o
Taylor, in order to enable the President t
fulfil his pledges, and effectually neutral
ize all the efforts and intrigues of mer.
partisans.
The proceedings ofthe meeting referred
to were sent by Mr.. Lippard to the edito
Of the National Whig, at Washington, fo
publication, with a request to send the bill
for tn same; but Mr.. Fenton returned tn,
following answer:

THE WHEELING BRIDGE OVER THE o.
HIo.-The work of build ng bridge over
the Ohio, at Wheeling, is progressing
The abutments are up and The suspension
piers are rising rapidly, each of tho four
being now about twenty feet above the a
butments. The span is 4:O10 feet,and the
bridge is to be finished this season, and to
hang about ninety feet above low water.
a correspondent of Pittsburgh paper
says:-
1t will be of vast advantage to Whee-
ling, but must certainly acquire any thing
but good name among steamboat men.
The river here rises, am told, so feet,
and the tallest steamboat chimneys are 20
feet high; so that, at highwater, the bridge
will cut off about thirty feet of their Chin
neys, unless they are lowered. This is a
serious matter, and will make it necessary
tor large boats that run above Wheeing,to
have joints in their chimnoys, and to doff
Their caps as they pass that place.
