For the G-izel/e_.
THE GLORIQUS FOURTH.
Mn. Rr:r:”n:—As you was unable to attend
burcelebration ofthe glorious 4th on PineIsland'

1 have concluded to give you a hasty (and of-

nccessity) a very imperfect sketch of the doings
at lhat ‘place, and on iliat occasion, thinking
that they might not be altogether unacceptable
to you. or your readers. L‘
.The day. as you well know, was delightful,
and Pine Island was all we could have wished
it to be. Nature seems to have fitted the place,
and rendereil it peculiarly appropriate for just
such a celebration. Btit in addition to what
nature had done for it, the committee of arrang-
ments superadded a cornmodioiis stand for the
speakers, and comfortable scatsoftlie numerous
audience, that were in attendance. These were
escorted to the ground by the Moliican Rifle
Corps. attended with music, under the direction
of Capt. P.L Cunningham, Grand Marshal.
who, by the way, deserves (as he iiriqiiestiona-
bly rr-ceived)rniich commendation for the prompt
and efficient manner in which he discharged
his laborious duties. The preliminaries being
settled, and the audience seated. the exercises
were opened by an address to the Throne of
Grace, by the. Rev. "Mr. llatvley of South Nor-
walk; the Decl-ration of lndependance was
then read by M r.HenryWalton, ofoiirbdrongli;
after which, an Oration was prono‘un'ced by 
B. Beartlslee, Esq. in which the speaker did
credit both to his head and heart. In his Ora-
lion, be facilitated both himself and the n‘it'ilti-
tude that were assembled to‘ hear him, on the
lie next
spoke of the war Br the Revolution, of the
causes that produced it, the actors in that war,
and its glorious results. Most clotpiccily did
he portray those scenes in wliich ovcry true
Aniericanifeels so deep on interest: and for the
space of «about three quarters of an hour. gave
ctincltssivé‘-e\'i(lence to his attentive atidittiry,
that heilias ahead to think. and a heart to feel,

"as well as a soul to appreciate the great matters

upon whi°cli his tongiiediscot.-rscd so eloqueiiily.
After the Oration was concluded, the Benedic-
tion was pronounced by the Rev. Harvey Hu-
sied of. South Norwalk, and the company dis-
missed for dinner. wlii(:h was prepared on the
ground. by Mr. S. R. Booting. and the manner
in which it-was despatched, told well for "Miric

Host.”
At the firing of the Gun, the company reas-

sembled for the delivery of the toasts. These
over. the company were prepared for the
Wasliingttinian addresses, \\lll(.‘ll were com
menced by Algerian Downs, E-q. in a brief. but
pertinent speech introductory to the reading of
the Temperance Declaration, by the same
gentleman. Next came that well known, and
most excellent Ode
“Friends of freedom. swell the song.”

After which, Mr. Flannagan from New York,
gave an excellent address, appropriate to the
occasion. This through, another song was
sunghy a young gentleman from SILVER Mini:
(whr se name. I have forgotten) and the meeting
was successively addressed by M r. Wm. Smith,
the Rev: i\'less.rs. Woolsey. llawley and Ho-
nted. whose addresses were exceedingly appro
prime and interesting. It may r.ot be amiss
here, to state that during the previous exercises.
a large number ofthe company was drawn ofl
with a rush, in consequence of the capsizinn_ of
a Sail Boat containing three men. with “Polk
and Dallas" flying at the mast head. After
order was again restored. the Rev. Mr. Hawley
seized upon the accident, and with a thrilling
effect, brought it to bear upon the temperance
cause. then under consideration, and seizing
the pledge in one hand, he held it aloft and ex-
claimed with lJl]C0tll.TlOn energy, “Here is the
Life Boat.” ‘

In conclusion, the audience were served with
"Pi.”- by Dr. Hill, having been most bountiful-
ly supplied with “Pudding” before hand, and
dismissed in fine spirits.

But, Mr. Editor, I cannot dismiss this notice
'w~ithont calling the attention to the glorious re-
sults of_tli,t_a,_-te'mperance cause, as exhibited, and
deinoitsiriiilied in this celebration. Among the
vast agsgseimblage there was not to be found one
disorclerly spirit. Although no ardent spirits
were:used, there was no want of patriotism.-
And--now I ask any man, woman or child, who
make any pretentious to rationality and candor,
and who witnessed the celebration. if it was not
a complete triumph of rational Independence ?
Thus, Mr. Editor, passed this glorious anniver-
sary of-our happy uation’s birth, and not even
the smell of alcoholic fire is found upon our

Never did coal-fieaver labor harder than the loco

- foco leaders and papers to make it appear that the

names--of Polk and Dallas had excited a wonderful
enthusiasm, Indeed itwas announced that the ‘prai-

: ties were on fire’ before the news of the nomination

had reached the Alleghanies! But alas, alas, for
their efforts, they have pumped and pumped, till ex-
hausted and no ‘enthusiasm’ comes! On the cori-
trary, the Washington leaders are more deeply em-
broiled" in quarrels. than before the nomination ;—-
whole meetings are bolting, and ‘confusion worse
confounded’ prevails. It is agonizing to them, we
know, that note hurrah can be raised! Even the
'1‘exas‘fever, which they relied on at the South, don’t
take, while it: proves the ‘death of them’ here. Even
our sweet neighbor the Times, gives over its vain
attempts at manufacturing enthusiasm, and takes to
its old business of abusing Mr. Clay. Locofocoism
is on its last legs.-—Hart. Jour.

POLK AT HOME.

The people at a distance know little of James K.
Polk. His reputation‘ has scarcely reached beyond
the limits ofhis own state. But there he seems to
have been better known and appreciated, where four
years ago, he was formally presented as it nuisance
by a grand jury. In 1840, while Governor .of the
State, he so far violated the proprietics of his station
and neglected his oflicial duties, as to devote liimsclf
entirely to elcctioneeriiivni In consequeiice the
grand jury of Soviet County,Teunessee made the
following presentiiieiit: -

Frtou 'rt-it-2 "SI-‘AT oF \V.-tu.”—Tlie St. Louis
Republican contains a letter from \Varsaw,
Hancock county, Illinois, near Naiivoo, dated
20th and 21st ult. Jo Smith had ordered all
the Mormons of the surrounding country to re-
tire ‘into’ Navoo, wlir-re, it was said, 400 men
were tinder arms, the city having been placed
lll.')(lt'I' martial law. They were coiiiiiiantlcd by
Jo Smith in person, who drilled them d:iily.—
Governor Ford arrived at Carthage (=iiioilicr
village near Nauvoo) on the morningof the 21st.

He said be approved ofall that the people
.had done in their defence. and lioprd that
[hey would not lay down theirarms until the
the laws had am plc satisfaction. He address
ed ii letter to the Mayor and Council of
Nauvoo, asking them to send to him l.\\'0 of
their most discreet citizens to make such ex-
planations of their rccent conduct as they rnav
have to ofivr, and to come unarmed, Ol‘ he,
would not rcccire ilit-m. ‘ '

As a means of defence, and to the end that
Joe Smith mziy not (lic.atc his own terms.
the Governor has ordered out the 4th lt'ig-
ridge of uiilitia, composed of the counties of
Hancock, Brown and McDonough: part of
‘lie force to be stationed at Carthage. and the
bal ince at \Varsaw, and to take such meas-
ures for the security ofthese places as the
commanding officers may deem necessary.
A incss-ige was also despatched by the Gov-
crnor to Alton, with an order for all lll8t.tl'n'lS
in the State Arsenal; to be transported to
Warsaw, and used in arming the peopl“.

The Governor will ad«lr».-ss the citizens
of this section of the county, at this place. to
day, when it is expected that some three or
four hundred of Col. Williams’ regiment
will be present; after tthich, he will meet
Joe’s COt'l'ltl\lS>‘ltll’l€fS, and then matters will
be. ptit in such a train as will lead to some-
thing decisive.

(“onsiderable anxiety is felt to hear what
kind ofan answer Joe. will send to Gov. Ford.
ll he should send such a one as he sent to
Judge Thomas. when ordered to appear in
court,“That.he would see him (I (I first,”
the Governor will doubtless take steps that
may be ratheranpleasant to his Prophetship.

PHILADI-ILPIIIA RIOTS Ao.uN!—Fresli dis-
turbances broke out on Friday morning last, by
a small party of Irish attacking the tents ofthe
Native Americans erected on the 4tb,in what is
called Fisher's ward. The few personsin charge
ofthem, were forcibly driven away,—-in some
cases severely beaten and the tents demolished.
The Americen flag which floated over the 6th
ward Head Qtiarters—-Nortliern Liberties, it is.
said, was torn down and burned by the Irish.

The excitement produced by this unprovok-
ed violence, increasing throughout the day as
the knowlsdge of them was more extensively
disseminated, towards evening was inflamed to
the highest pitch, by the rumor that arms had
been carried into the Church known as St.
Philip’s dc Neri, situated in Queen st_r_cet. At
an early hour, a largeicollection of people sur-
rounded the. building, and evinced demonstra-
tions ofa very alarming character. The Sher-
iff sonn made his appearance, and, in compli-
ance with the demand ofthe people for a search
of the church, about 10 o’clock in the evening,
accompanied by a large body of police men,
entered the building, and -brought forth twelve
muskeis, which were conveyed to the South-
wark Hall, amidst the uproarious cheers ofthe

multitude.
About eleven o'clock, the “Union Fencibles,’a

Capt. Lee, came upon the ground. Their
commander in a brief speecli.gave the mob five.
minutes to disperse; and soon there were few
person left upon the spot.

The followingfurther intelligence is from a
slip from the office of the Philadelphia Chroni-
cle, dated

 

 

SUNDAY, 3 o’clock, P. 'Vl.

During the whole of Saturday, knots and
crowds of persons were in the neighborhood
-—sorne peaceable, others using threatening
language. The mi«lit—ary were on duty
about five o'clock in the ’a.ft;ernoon-..

illtcy shouted in dei'ison.

About dusk, the military. took command
and cleared the streets. The Hibernian
Greens‘, Capt. Callahan, we placed inside
the church‘.

A large number’ of persons were arrested
during the night.

About half past 10 o’clock, while the mil-
itary were guarding the streets. two large
crowds arproach.-d. in»:-ting at Queen st. ‘

The niilitary ordered them to disperse, but
An order was
given by Col. Pleas mon, to Capt. Roi-t. K
Scott, of the Codwiilatler Grays, to "fire."--
The Captain arrayed his men. but before be
repeated the word, those of the crowd in
from of him had run away. 7

\'\"hen the word ‘fire’ was given by Col.
Plezisanton, ' Hon. Charles Niyior rushed
out and said "No, don’t fire.” At which,
Gt-neral Ciitlivaladi-r ord-'rr'd llltn'Uflf.lt'f ar-
rest, and to be pl.i':ed in the church.

This ct‘--ated great confusion. The
sheriff's ofii-2.-rs inn-rfc-red, and desired his
release, but the General-st.t~rol_v refused.

Yesterday morning. those in custody in
the \V.'l[Ch‘ house and church were discliarged
t‘Xt‘f.‘[.l two.

E .rly in the morning the crowd gathered
again—went to the wharf, look a cannon
from the brig Venus at Queen streit wharf;
another they dug tip and cleaned, and loaded
them with spikes .

These they dragge-d'tip in front of the
church, poised them, and tlireatened that on-
less Mr. Naylor was lwlensed, they would
destroy it. Nothing being done, the crowd
rushed upon the building, broke in the door
with a billleflflfl ram. shattered the walls,
and brought out Mr. Niiylor lflzlfllllilipll -

Death of the Morme-iiii Prophet!

The news from the illortiioti country is ofa pain-

c1'.l‘i_$'l'lllll are dead. The accouiit of this tragedy
comes by way of an I3.\'lra from the Qiiiiicy Iicrtild
of Friday morning the 26th tilt. and The \Vnrsa\v

purpose ofl'ot'ci1tg his way into the jail. IIe was
opposed by the guard and fired at pistol at one of
the guard, giving him it slight wound.

ofbeing transformedifrom very bad politicians

in the water until they succeeded in grasping the
object of their hopes, Polk and Dallas, to which
they clung with a grasp that nothing but des-
pair could have fastened, until they were rescu-
ed by a gallant craft from the shore, which from
the favor which it found with the elements. and
the success which attended its design. we con-
conclude was a Clay craft. When all were
