I Correspondence ofthe New York Express.l
/ EAsroS, P,. Aug. 20, lSGl.-Onr town
was Inst evening or rather night, the
scene Of most dsGracelul mob, origina-
ting in he differences between Col. Phil
/ ip johnson, NJ g.. and the ultra Repubs
lcans. The Democrats held County
Convention yesterday afternoon at which
Col. johnson took occasion to defend his
course in the late extra session Of Con-
gress, and TO make some pointed remarks
| in reference to the administration. After
fthe meeting was declared adjourned, the
| Rev. Mr.. Mitchell, of Phillipsburgh, n. J.
attempted to reply to Col. johnson, but
was prohibited. This naturally created
excitement, and sort Of personal war
fare was kept up among the crowd TIL
leyening, when u large number of men ana
boys resolved upon burning the Hon. M'
! &. in efiigy. This Irelude having been
gone through with, they then repaired TO
his residence and demanded ntonemeht
for the sins of the afternoon.
The Col. having satisfied them of his
patriotism, aud the spirit CT moOocrncy
being 10y this time rampant, the cry was
! for vengeance upon the Sentinel Office,
democratic paper, and thence the crowd
rushed, and breaking open the coor ana
windows, they soon laid tho establish
ment in ruins, or, rs the phrase goes,
.'cleaned it out" The work OF desiruc'
ton being complete, On they marched Tor
the Argus ofiice-the property OF Col
Hutter, ex>postmaster- which was soon
broken into, and the glorious work OF
convincing man against ms VIII CONS
menced-but it was finally voted ic sus-
pend operations here for twenty-tour
hours to give one, of more loyal stripe oc
cupying the story above,a chance to move
out-or for Col. lin tier to reform The
lncxt in order was ex-senator Broadhead,
when on rushed the mob, pell nell, to
the residence of that gentleman he
was not to be caught napping-ano tie
rowdes found him, not OILY slttng under
! his own "vine and fig tree hut under
the folds Of the Stars Stripes, which grace
fully hoated from the window above him
thus literally proclaiming "his house
| his castle" where "mone should molest
or make him afraid" A few words from
the Hob. ex-senator. and again the mass
moved on to the residence OF Colonel
! Hutter and demanded the Stars and
Stripes.
The Colonel being absent on bis ama-
Ible and excellent wife devolyed the duty,
Tor necessity of casting pearls before
swine" and our beautiful and noble em-
blcm was made to float upon the breeze
polluted by the presence of a mob. The
next on the programme was District At
torney Schuyler, and here again the nag
was displayed and few eloquent but sar>
castle remarks were made by Mr.. Schuy-
Ter. The order again was given, ION to
Porter's," 4 halt was soon made in front
of the residence of Hon. Judge Potter
one of the oldest and mott exalted citi-
zens of our commonw ealth-and notwlth'
standing the fact that he was i'll and con-
fined to his room, harrangue from hlm
was nevertheless demanded. In obedi-
ence thereto, one of the accomplished
daughters OF the judge made her appear
ance at the window, and, IN language
most chaste and beautiful, assured the
mob of the love and reference which the
entire household bore for the Union and
for its bright and glorious emtlem, but
wished them to understand that though
the house should lie rezeed about them
the sacred folds of that flag would not De
unfurled by her or her family at the be-
hest of q mob
The firm and eloquent little speech was
too much ever for the mob spnlt-Nnd
quietly, and almost silently, the demon
stration broke up-ard the dIstnrbers oI
the peace soon after repaired to theii
homes, 10 reflect upon, and doubt not
, to regret, the work they had been cnga
ged in.
THE MOB AT HAVERHILL, MASS.
We find in the Boston Traveller Ire
publican) letter detailing the proceed
Iinps of the mob at Haverhiil, Mass, or

. dered himself obnoxious by his alleged
violent ana lnulsCTeeJ t'llNOIlhl " lhluell" "
on the war and against the republicans
'' The writer, after stating that Mr.. X. ha,
