VINCENNES. SATURDAY. SEPT. 5, 183. i? la vjf ii a a a jjiS'iaa FOIl PRESIDENT IN 183G. GEN. WM. K. HARRISON, O Oa'o. "SUBJECT TO THE DECISION OK1' THE SOVEREIGN WILL OK AN INTELLIGENT AND PATRIOTIC PEOPLE . LJJ .J - .. ' . - - . - J ' JIOKS, RIOTS AM) CIUMi:. From every quarter, accounts of mobs, riots, robberies and murders, pour iu upon xif, and we are compelled to chronicle them ag "signs of the times." The accounts which we furnish present a gloomy and melancholy picture; and tend strongly to establish the idea that we live in a Government whete the laws are inoperative, and where the stroDg arm of violence is soon to prevail, if vice and imposition be tolerated. This spirit of riot, which within a short period has rapidly extended itself throughout the Union, is calculated to excite the most serious apprehensions for the permanency of those free institutions which have been the pride and glory of our hitherto peaceable and happy country . While at home the fearful extension and j enforcement of mob law, must fill the raflecting mind with painful anticipations, it tvill be received abroad io a light disreputable to a government, which lias al ways prided itself upon its laws, and their efficiency to protect the rights aud redress the wiongs of its citi.ens. In Baltimore, after the destruction of much property and some lives lost, nnd Joany persons wounded, order and tran quility are restored. Strong mcasure8 eeem to be adopted to prevent any recurrence of euch acts. In Philadelphia, at the last accounts, groat excitement prevailed, and every indication of h general mob, ou account of some obnoxious pro ceedings of an abolition society. In Buffalo, N. Y. two violent riots tha Herald Tetuarks "there can be very little doubt Lut that there is something in the atmosphere which produces these numerous acts of violence and bloodshed.1' In New York City, tha "abolitionists'' are threat ened; nnd it is proclaimed "their incendiary practices shall be summarily correctd uotil they cease." Iu Washington City, a negro plot, and some local causes, loused a mob; the law of Lynch wns nbout to be administered. With difficulty the mob was dispersed after committing some depiedations. The Norforllc Beacon taj?, Rn abolitionist fanatic was taken within fifteen tniles of Lynchburgh, Va. "and havged on ihe 5yot." (Will not the lamentable oc currences in Mississippi and Louisiana serve for a time to prevent the instigators of insurrection?) At Charleston, S. the citizens recently took possession of the Tost Office for a time, and appointed a committee lo prevent the distribution of New York abolitionist, incendiary publications, calculated to produce revolt. At Charlestowo, Mass. there has beeu something like a riot. "It had been known for some time that a number of persons, assisted by a few from Boston, intended to celebrate the anniversary of the hnrnin; of the convent, and it ras staled that they were organized to the number of one hundred or one hundred A: fifty, for tha purpose of marching to Robury, to fire at a tnret, on tvhicii was painted a representation of the l.aly Superior. The Select men of Chailestowu refused them permission to parade as a military company, nnd undertook to take away their muskets. On this a scafflo endued, and one of the select men was assaulted. The select men succeeded in depriving the company of their tirms." The Utica, N. Y. Whig, says 'A riot has just oacurod on the Chenango Canal, about two miles north of the Hamilton Tha uproar continued all night, and tha next day, August 10, the parties having procured guns and pistols, fired upon each other, and wounded three parsons severely. The militia were immediately called out, and marched to the scene of Motion, where they secured n number of combatants, and confined them in a burn under guard. The gentleman, who gave this information saw the militia marching down to the fijht. The country was in a stale of alarm for several miles round." These circumstances are all to be regrettetl but they "hold the mirror up to nature." The Baltimore Patriot well remarks : "The great and fundamental principle of free government the charm and snfes;uard of civilized soeiety, consist in the slfuimac v of the Lavs. Surrender that, dJ what is l&ft? breakdown that barrier, which is the result of aces of enlightened experience, and what can ftuy the social bark from drifting back into the sea of barbarism and anirchtl Such are our views of this momentous subject. And we are free in expressing the opinion, that he who would labor to prostrate this mighty safeguard, the supremacy of the laws who would consent to barter this invaluable boon for any "perishable commodity," or grovelling prty object of the day he hows himself to be wholly unworthy officii a blessing, nnd a fit adventurer in such a chariless soa. One of the very best means of securing the peace and quiet of society or at least of prompt ly putting down all act of lawless violence, like thoe so lately witnessed, will bo to casl side party politics, utterly, and to take care,

lone and ail, that official authority of every

grade, from the highest to the lowest, to entrust ed to suitable and cosu'ETtNT hands. Public officers, of all ranks and gradei "from the most important to the least considerable," should ho sek'cted with a singlo eye to their fitness fur the oflic and competency to a discharge of its duties, and not, as is but two often the case, iu consequence of some other influence." It ia hoped our present congressman, elect, is as well (if not better) qualified to doctor his own ailments, as to prescribe for our state diseases! The friends of "the party" will be gratified hereafter to see his answer to the follow ing "Card ," which appeared in the "Plough Boy" of the 2Gth ult. The stump speeches of this member elect, are remembered ; and unfortunately, the effect can only be corrected by time; two years, however, and a knowledge of the truth, will bring forth its fruit.

It would ba humiliating to compare two politicians so different, and so distinct in every way, as Van and the old General once were. The first, always an artful intriguer, opposed essentially to Western interests, the other a gallant soldier, avowedly in favor of Western interests until overcome by h second childhood. In lb'17, Gen. Jackson addiesreo the late patriotic James Monroe, then President of tho United Stales, elect, as follows : "The chief magistrate of a great and power ftil nation should I'icr indulge in party feelings Iiis conduct should Le liberal and disinterested, always bearing in mind that he ats for tb

vihoU and not part of the community. By this conduct vou will exalt the character, end ecoiire for yourself a name as imperishable bs the

monumental marble. Cowvu no yauy m your choice; pursue the dictates wf thut unerring judg ment which has so arid so omii nwiienueii our country and rendered illustrious its rulers." (Signed) "A.J ACiisoN.'' I need not loop to repeat Id you the existing system of this same "J Jackson," President"; whose dispensing pattooage, has, during tha last seven yeate, under Van Buren" direction, tended to weaken the standard ol moral and political inde pendence jet uol 1 tiust, lo an exteut sufficient to make Van his successor. Hut another occasion will soon offer to discuss this matter. It forced itself upon me under the party reflection?, because of a former opinion of Gen. J ackson's, and his recent practice is to the contrary. lie (Jackson) once published, that the appointment of "membeis of congress to of ike by the Executive, leads to a system of corruption;1' yet, under the auspices ot anLuren, he has departed n ' ear.y pro ess.ons anu M I'' '-- - membeis than a h.s preclecesn teur, ianu some , ,.
