Rev,aI-The Twelve.

The twelve members Of the Con-
stitutionaI Convention who voted
with the Wings on the repeal ques-
iion, as we have before stated, are
receiving the particular respects OF
those papers Though the State that
represent the extreme doctrine oil
modern Locofocoism. And for what
are these men charged with apostacy
and corruptioni The difficulty arose
en- the question whether the Legisla-
ture should: nave power tteo -repeal
all acts of incorporation heretofore
granted, without compensating the
corporators for the damages they
may suffer thereby. Twelve Demo
Gratis. although recognizing the right
of repeal, insisted on the compensa-
ton clause,an voted with the Wings
against the clause as it stood; such
Is a simple statement of the case
For this act the Enquirer, Salesman
& Co., at first undertook to whiP
them into the support of the clause,
and finding this did not succeed. the
next move is to read them out OF the
party. The Enquirer backs its own
reckless course by quotations from
papers of its own ilk in different
parts of the State. The Enquirer
closes an article with the following
significant intimation: "those 'sIeven'
tmmaculates have but two choices
left,-'the sober, second thought or
political perditiOn."
But this game wont work. The
msr referred to are among the Oldest
and ablest OF that party in the State,
and are not TO be driven into a sac
rifce of opinions long entertained, ,or
likely TO turn traitors to the Right
BY bold denunciation or low invec-
tive.

Riot In UhiIIIcothe.

The Metropolis of Monday con-
tains the following notice Of a very
disgraceful proceeding:
We regret to say that our city
was yesterday the theatre Of a most
disgraceful riot-such an one as nev-
er before occurred here, and we
hope never will again.
Early on Sabbath morning one OF
the two parties, into which the Lu-
theran congregation is unfortunately
divided, obtained possession of the
Church building. At the usual hour,
the other party, headed by Rev. DR..
Frederick Haase, pastor, assembled
and sought admission. This was
resisted and soon a fight began out
side, which became general and Sc
we're. The Marshal, assisted by j..
]. Robinson, Esq, and some others,
succeeded In stopping the affray, but
not until several Of the combatants
had been severely bruised and other
wise injured. The lady Of the pas
tor was injured by some one in the
melee, and premature confinement
following the hurt, It is feared that
the result may be fatal.
This morning Peter Hoffman was
arrested on the charge OF assaulting
and injuring Thereisia Haase. He
was taken before Esq. Robinson,
and, not being ready for trial, gave
bail in $500 Tor his appearance to-
morrow morning at 10 o'clock. Mr..
Hoffman entirely denies any partici-
patton in the affair, and awaits the
trial with confidence. There was
considerable cause for fear that a
mob would take the case out Of the
hands Of the Justice this morning,
but the officers were in such force
on the spot that the crowd prudent
iy dispersed without any demonstra-
ton Of the kind.

'It seems alter all that the good
people at Dayton are in danger oI
losing the honor Of having one oI
their distinguished citizens sent
roaming to Rome. A correspondent
writes that it cannot be settled til
the United States Senator is chosen
from Ohio. As Mr.. Ewing is more
hostile 10 the present administration
than any other OF the Ohio Whigl
of note, it is probable that it will be
offered to him. Mr.. Vinton is near
ly on the same footing, and has
therefore, strong claims. Mr.
