\
at the bottom of the mischief. Then the Whig
Rett1t‘ulJt1tIltZ6S. Who made this a pretext for as
seinbling privately and making out a minority
return, electing their Members whom the Peo-
ple had not elected, are grossly wrong likewise.
Whether the Secretary of State has acted cor-
rectly or-otherwise we cannot so well determine
~-—as he is bound bylthe letter ofthe lawio a de-
‘finite course, and thelaw is not before us. Still.
if he and the leading Whigs of Pennsylvania
have resolved to make such use of the double
misdoings in Philadelphia County as to elect a
U. S. Senator. State'l‘reasurer, &c.. by the votes
of Members of the Legislature not rightfully
chosen,-they are grievously wrong. too. But all
tltisdoes notjiistify--notllrigcanjustify—theatro-
cious and execrable outrage of a mob assembling
in the Capitol to settle by intimidation or violence
lite rights of Metnbcrs to seats. That such in-
timidation and viclence have been attempted.
'-and that the deliberations of the Senate have
Y been interrupted by well grounded apprehen-
sims of outrage and bloodshed, is most notorious.
The attempt of the Sheriffof Dauphin County
and some of ltis party to make light ofsuch do-
in s, and the obvious encouragement given by
many journals in Pennsylvania and elsewhere
to mob interference with the proceedings of the
L islature. are among the riiost alairtning fea-
tu s ofthe whole dark transaction.
T.a£er.—Our last advices from Harrisburg are
ileddedly conciliatory. After a week of vio-
lence and intimidation, the Senate proceeded to
bgbipess on Tuesday by counting the votes given
Tor and against the Amended Consti'ution. The
Official Returns (taking the \Vltig return from
Philadelphia County, which is least favorable to
ii,) give a majority of 1,212 for the Amended
Colrstitution, and it was accordingly declared to
beadopted. So far, well. Both sections of the
Htiuse.of Representatives were in attendance.
The Senate then proceeded to select by lot a
’ committee to investigate the Philadelphia Coun-
iy Election. The committee so chosen consists
of Messrs. Miller, Frailey, Hays, and Kings-
. holy, Van Buren; and Messrs. Fullerton.
Eviiog,'anil Pnrviance, Vlfhigs. Messrs. Hays
an! Fullerton are very moderate party men ; so
-fine committee is very fortunately selected. The
committee immediately commenced its investi-
gations. So we are likely 20 have the matter
thoroughly sifted and put to right withoutfurtlier
occasion for the services of a mob. Ifthere are
any good reasons why the Whig caniiiilates
should have their seats, (and theirsupporters say
there are.) they will have them, even though a
party majority in the committee shall report
‘ againstthcut. If not, it would be a gross out-
rage to proceed to the election ofa Senator with-
out putting the right men in their seats. The
t-«"0 rival Houses are now quietly awaiting the
result of the Senate's investigation.
wfittjjul Eflccts Of ‘lrttc/tz,pc1'ancs.—As a con-
ductor of a public journal, it becomes our pain-
ful duty to record one of the most. distressing
occurrences, occasioned by intemperance, that
we have any knowledge of. The wife of Mr.
Samuel Green. of this place, (latterly residiiig
in Middlctown.) was found at her house, on
'I‘uesd:'.y evening last, about 8 o’clock, burnt to
deatlr—-her clothes having tiiken firc, it is sup-
posed, from the stove, while in it state of intox-
_tca.tion. The person who first found Mrs. G.
informs ua, their.’ no one. who did not witness the
scene, can form any adequate conception ofit.
V tien he entered the house, the room was so
filled with smoke, that it was some titnc before
he discovcrnd the actual condition of the fami-
ly. There was no light in the room, except a
faint glimmer from the fire in the stove, and
that produced by the burning garments which
enyeloped the unfortunate woman. S..e lay
stretphed on the floor, near the stove, entirely
lifeless, and awfhlly dis,tigurc,d—her clothes
more titan half burnt off. At her fectlay nest-

MORE “ PATRIOTISM.”
Canada Rumors are rife again at the West-
_In the Buffalo Mercury we find the following,
purporting to be the statement of passengers or-
rived at Buffalo from Cleveland, by the steamer
\Visconsin:
The Patriots ‘amounting to nine hundred,
crossed over the Detroit river, to Snndwich,
hur‘iTe'd that village to the ground, and the Bri-
tish steamboat Thames, were joined by two
com anies of royal militia, rind are now on the
march through the London District, where it is
expected they will be joined by several thou-
ands of Patriots. In" a skirmish with llle
Qiieenls troops, several of the latter were kill-
ed; we cannot learn how many. The gentle-
man who brings the information stood upon the
wharf at Detroit, and saw Sandwich and the
steanier in flames.
In relation to this affair a slip from the Cleve-
land ,l'.nt,cll_igencer ofthe 6th December has the
following:
'17‘ . way billfrom the west this morning con-
tains the important announcement; that the Pa-
triots had taken Fort Malden, with one hun
tired and severity-fiye prisoners. It was repre
sented that, there was immense slaughter on both
sides. '
Agcntlemnn who came in the western stage
confiirms,in a measure,the aboveintelligence. Be
fore leaving Toledo, information had been receiv-
ed at that place stating that the Patriots had
crossed over at the river St. Clair, and on
Sunday night. took possession of the fort. The
burning of some of the housse was the signal for
the commencement of hostilities, and the de-
sce_nt;.upo_n the town was made while a portion
of the loyalists were engaged in extinguishing
the ‘-(fumes. Our informant states that there
\ vi'as7g'rcat destruction among the red coat -nc.-
bes.
And a correspondent‘. of the Courier givestt
lmilar version of the same, affair:
The story 5, that a patrot. force of some hun-
.ti'8dSf-_—-VaI'l0l1ISly estimated at from three to
_nine linitdred—crossed the river from D.-troit,a.
few days ago, and attackedthe detachment of
British regulars, and black and white ruilitia,
at Windsor, immediately opposite Detroit, whom
they ,defeat_ed, with the loss of some to
killed and wounded-when they iminediately
burned the barracks, and some other buildings
used for public purposes, and then ma cl_ted
unoii Sandwich about three miles below—which
_e they also captured, after dispersing the
militia‘ stationed tliere—having on their
‘ flown from Windsor, destroyed the British
,..amboat Thames, which was lying at it Wharf,
8. sliortdiatarice below that village. Rumor fur-
_.u’l"'
ed the insurgents, and the whole body. l-0 .l-he
number 10 or 1200 were marching down l1P°_ll
Amherstburgh and Maiden, which villages._ It
was believed, they would, also take possess-S1011
of. -
So for as the pr ceding relates to 8.. lending
on the Canada side, and -a skirmish, it is con-
firmed by Detroit dates to the 4th. The num-
ber of the invaders is reduced to 2 or 300. and
no town or village is spoken of as “taken.”
Gen. Von Shoultz has been executed at Kings-
ton, and Col. Abbey and Mr. George were ser-
tenced to the same fate. They belonged to the
