The worst on't is, says the Giueral thinks lhat every man who has a different opinion of his measures, is not only his enemy but the enemy of his country, frhen the Giueral writ lhat letter to Mr.

It seems that a Mr. Lard re, a fencing master, was charged with having taken care of some property under seizure belonging to an individual named Gentil. Between these two persons there hd existed a prior animosity, as the latter had been heard to declare in a dispute that he had with the former, I will murder you one of these days." This preconceived resolution.it issupposed was accelerated by the subsequent event we have detailed, as Lardre had been in the charge of the property but a few days before, the murderer, in order to effect his design, repaired at an early hour to the house of his victim, who unsuspicious of the doom that awaited him, was on the eve of stepping upon the threshhold of his door to go out, when placing himself within 5 or 6 feet of him he discharged the whole contents of a double barrelled gun, with which he had provided himself, with such signal effect that the unfortunate man survived but a few minutes.

We made in-ciuiries, yesterday, as to the or igin unci progress'of tlie disturbances, Sc learned that I ho iil fueling engendered or heated by the election during the day. tiad beeii further led by some col aisiottfi which occm-ed after lhe dosing the poll? the Jucktion nien assaulted the house, known as the head quarters of the Whigs, and a parly of Ami-Jackson men sallied forth from this place, anil in repulsing the Jackson men. a hickory sick, set up as a sign in a small temporary shanty was tin-own down. This retort provoked further aggressions from Jackson men, who proceeded to the liber I pole, in front nf the Anti-Jackson house, with view of cutting it down; tins was a tiilTiculi task, as the lower part of the spar was closely strapped with iron, -extending from below the surface of the ground to the height of eight or ten fl-ct. While a part of the crowd were eigagecl upon the liberty polo, another party was industriously employee! in pelting the house wiili stones, bricks and other similar missiles.

When this attack had been continued for a short lime, and it was evident that the build iii! would soon yield, and the lives of its numerous inmates be jeoparded, if Hot talien persons discharged fire-arms from the house and wound-ed several 'of the assailants. We instituted an inquiry as to the manner in which these arms came into the house, and we learned, that 'after the Ward Election, week before last, the Jackson men a tacked this house, and did much injury to the exterior, and its contents; and it was reported, that, on the night of the General Election, the hi ise was he -pulled down. Arms, therefore, wele procured by its occupant, to de-Tend his property at the last extremity. Of the propriety of this self-defence, "Jfflrtj.sr Jack JJBowssaag'. Ki-nin ill': New Vuvk Dai'y Advertiser.

To my oil friend Mr. 1) wight of the N. Y. Daily Advertiser Washington, 'Oct. 10, 1831,, Serin that you liaint heaid from me now for a considerable long spell, I suppose you begun to think I had gone io A ruby where the giueral threatened to go once, when the people began to send petitions to him last winter but my good ojd fiieiul.

ever since I writ to you my lusl letter I haint had lime to do' nolhin in, that way; tbis is about the cause on't. When I w.rote to you last, I was busy gettin my boots footed and greased, and all things mended Sc sleak'd up. and intended to go to Sara-iogue and all about them parts, to keep an eye on the "next Government," but com'in to look about nie here, 1 found all the folks of ihe Government and the -Government" itself all off, and not a -ci liter left here to keep things a- uotH but me and Mr. Forsvth, the ew Secretary A' Stale, and as I have a great likin for Mr. Forsyth, and seein that he was rather new in the business, 1 thought I would stay and lend him a hand, and wail here till either the present Government or, the next Government got back again, fell, I hadn't been long at it afore I begun lo feel rather watiiblechop'd; and one day Mr.

Forsyth says to me, Major, says he, what's matter; well says Governor, 1 dont know exactly, but I begin to feel considerable streaked; well says he, I reckon I know what's the matter, and he come out. with a long word that frightened me almost to pieces. 1 had been hearu a good deal said about the old Torys of TuVand the new Torys of '34, and as my father and grand father had batded agin the old ones, I didn't somehow Tear much about the new ones; and I knew there was a. good many kind of new Torys; there was Ihe present government Torys, and the next government Torys, and the tape and twine ihe safely fund- One Dollar bill Tory's; but here was another kind of Torys I hadn't thought on before, and Governor Forsyth said there warn't a doubt they then had hold on-me, and' them was the Preiiioiii-Z'o-rys. As soon as the word was out of his mouth, 1 sprung round line an possest; says Governor, do you think il is ra-ly so? there is no doubt on't says he: why says I how you talk! for if that is so, there is no time to lose says for so long as there is any alin about Ma jor Downing, that has got any kind of lory about it, it is time lor ioiks io look out.

lf says he, Major, if you like another name better, says he, I'll give it to )ou, and so says he, youve got the Kolaree. Do tell, says if lhats all I'll soon fix that; and why didn't you so at first, instead of tellin a body about that other plagy ailmr and with lhat I went right to work right off puttin tilings to rights. The first go off I took a leetle less New England in my switchel; but lhat didn't do much good, then agin I took a double dose, but that ony made things worse it was like porin warm waier down ones back on a cold liosty mornin it lelt plagy good whilst you was at it, but in a minitarter, it was worse and worse; at last I stop'd all kind of hard licker, Sc arter a little spell 1 lelt pritty churek. stuck to this plan a lew days and kept cool and good natur and eat nothin but good sound food, and drank nolhin but clear cold water, and above all I kept up pluck, and trusted to Providence for the rest; and in less than a week there warn't a mite of no kind of premoiiions, nor any kind of tory about me, and 1 was as sound as a granr.it.. But I had a pritty tuff lime ou I tell vou.

lor accoruiu io toe im- lurof all these kind of ailins that has got any lory about if you dont stop em they go on and go on, till tulles go into what the Doctors call the colaps, and then you turn as blue as an indigo bag, and then Ka in fire and Laudnum and burnt Brandy and Kiau pepper and mustard and hard rubbin aint no kind of use it's all over then. I and Mr. Forsyth us'd to have a good many long lalks about it, and when 1 was busy battlin agin them plagy premnnion5 he used to call and see me, and I would talk over matters with him. One day, says Governor, hre: i Siill unsatisfied with the worn the mob ransacked ib-a 1 wer rooms of the whig tavern, threw out the furniture upon tlie blazing pile in the sn eel, and grossly assaulted all upon whom they could lay their hands. The landlady and her shrieking children were driven with violence into the sli eel, and severely maltreated.

The persons in the upper rooms, now considering that the object of the mob was io murder them, procured lire in nis, aim i on i ne tnirii siory muow ami Hie rool. tired into me sircuu- Blank cartridges, it is said, were used at first, but these were insufficient lu intimidate the mob. Subsequently, we learn, several in ihe street were injured by buck shot, and it is said that one individual died while being conveyed to the hospital. The croud in front who stood their ground firmly, and replied to those inside by tiemendous vollies of bricks, stones and other missiles, at length made a desperate' rush inside, and cleared the premises, not only of human beings, but of I'urnilure, leaving not a particle untouched. Soon after whether from accident or design, we are unable to s.ate, the tavern look fire and the flames spread rapidly fiercely in every direction.

The situation of affairs was now awful and appalling. The mob had entire possession of the vhole place, not a solitary anti Jackson man having the temerity to show his face. The alarm of fire was sounded, and the fire companies arrived on the spot, but the mob would not pei-mit them to go into operation. Many were openly threatened that if they put a drop of water on the fire they would be beaten. One or two companies, however, persisted in their exertions, and one attachment was led out, but it was soon dragged away by main force, and the whole block of buildings was permitted to bum down! These particulars embrace, we be- lieve, all the facts of the rase, without colouring or partiality.

The scene altogether was most disgraceful to the country. The houses destroyed were the property of an unoffending citizen, who Jiad acquired them by hard industry. Llis loss will probably not fall shorty of 85000. Ihe following is Irom the Gazette of Wednesday last: THE RIOTS OF LAST NIGHT IN MO A MEN SING. Communication From an eye witness.) About nine o'clock, a number of Jackson men were seen actively cm-ployed in distributing clubs and administering strong drink to their ad- nerents: mis was snoruy lonoweo.

oy it i. an attack from a number of the Jack son men on the Whig Quarters, by-throwing stones and shouting on their followers. This was continued but a lew minutes, when a number of the riiig parly returned the attack with such violenc tout the Jackson men retreated. Alter obtaining a reinforcement, they renewed the attack; assailed the Whig quarters, tore off the window shutters, doors, he. and kindled a fire around the Fhig Liberty Pole, with the wreck of the demolished shutters and doors.

During the e-nacling of ihese scenes of outrage, the threats of engeance and destruction ol the If- higs and their Quarters, from the ausjinen'ed Jackson host, roused i the former to the determination of defending their Quarters to the last extremity, and for this purpose procured lire arms. The expected attack was made the Whigs within the house fired wounded, report says, eighteen of the Jackson men. After this, the whole of the parly attacked the whig quarters, drove out the occupants a-nd set the premises on fire. ANOTHER. The riot commenced by a uumber of Jacksonmen lrom the First District going up to Moyamensing with banners and lanterns, and parading before the whig quarters, and filially attempting to cut down the Liberty Pole.

The Whigs beat them off, and afterwards returned the attack on the Jackson quarters, which, with the Hickory Pole, they destroyed. In their turn they were again attacked and it was in this attack lhat fire aims were used by both parties, and wih fatal effect, one man being killed 4 several wounded. The Jacksonmen were seei(and they are known) deliberately culling out the window and door frames for ihe purpose -of getting fire-wood -to burn down the Liberty pole in doing which ihey fired several houses belonging to James Robb, an aiili-Jacksonman, who was discharged from the Post Office, when the present Post Master 'came into office. The firemen promptly repaired to ihe spoi, but were not allowed lo play or acl, and in attempting to do their duly, several of ihein were seriously hurt and their hose cut in sev eral places.

2d Brigade. From the Dowuins Gazette. DmvNiNGvii.LE, Sept. 10. Dear Jack I must jest write you i few lines to let you know how the elec tion turned out un here.

We did the tiling up nbout j-ight here in Downing-ville, but some of the other townsrouftd here have had so many Arouses and Jacksonians stuffed into 'em, that they went all 'tother way. and I'm afraid they've upset all we did here. Down-insville has got to be a real whig town. I didn't make up my mind fully which way to go till about three or four weeks before election. Hut when I come to set down and take up the Post office business and read it all over carefully, found it had gone estern since Mr.

McLean left the office nearly a million of dollars, and see how Mr. Barry had got in the habit of making double bargins, that is, when a man had agreed to do a a peice of work for a thousand dollars, he'd tuck another thousand into his pocket for 'extra and when I see too what a monstrous sight of money he paid to some printers for wrapping paper and twine, when some of the store keepers or paper makers or twine makers would let him have it for a quarter part what he paid the printers for it, though it's true, they couldn't stand up so much for the General and the Kiteh en Cabinet, as the printers could; and when 1 took up the President's Protest too, and see how he called all the offi cers of the government his officers, and said they must all do jest as he said; I say when I read over all these things thought 'em over gered. I felt a good deal stag- Thinks I to myself what if the Gen- al should send on word to me to break open all the letters that come to my of fice, and take out all the money, and spend one half of it in electioneering and send 'tother half on to hint, must I do it? Thinks I can't stan that; so I in ail up my mind to turn about and go with the Whigs. I went over and talk'd with your father about it, and your cousin Ephraint and Sargant Joel, and we all concluded to stick the old ship right about, and in less than a week there vva'nt a man in Downingville agin us. So when we came to vote election day, the votes were For Peleg Sprague, 114 For Robert P.

Dunlap, 000 This was the largest vote ever given in Downinaville, and all on one side. Your cousin Ephraim was unanimously chosen representative to the Legislature. Let the election of Governor turn out as it will, I think nobody can say but what we've done our duty pretty well up here in Downingville. I remain your loving uncle. JOSHUA DOWNING.

New Orleaxs, Sept. 22. Our city seems to have become the theatre of crimes. Last evening a gentleman returning to his house, was stopped in Rampart street, between Ursu-line and Bayou by a band of villains who lay concealed until his near approach behind a gate. As soon as he had reached their hiding place, one ot them came up, and aimed a desperate blow at him with a sabre which fortunately did little more than enter his coat.

Finding himself alone and without weapons, he concluded that his best plan, would he to effect his retreat without further ceremony. He did this with great difficulty, but had not gone more than a lew steps, when he heard a shrill whistle from the corner of Bayou stre.t. Still proceeding, however as fast as he could, more dead than alive he reached his house in safety. One of the band, he says, had in his hand a packet, which he concluded was stolen property. A most atrocious murder, accompanied with suicide on the part of the diabolical perpetrator, was committed on Monday morning.

The circumstances connected with this untoward tragedy, I i IF hen he said that members ot L-on- gress had'nt ought to be appointed, to office under the Government, every body said that's pretty sound doctrine; and when he said that the patronage of the Government had'nt ought to con (lict with the purity of elections, every body said that's rale sound doctrine. lie said a good nieny more sound things, but these are enough to talk a-bout, now. rell, now every man who aim of the GineiKl'j parly is considered a scamp, and not lobe trusted that aint sound doctrine for I have a notion there are a good many folks as pure Sc patriotic as ever lived, who aint of the Gineral's party. -Then agin lite Giueral has appointed mone members of Congress than you can shake a stick at; but tho' that aint accordin to his promise, yet 'I dont complain on't, for its hard for any class of men to be cut off from servin ihe country if they are fit for il so that was a bad promise, better broke than kept. But what lifts my dander, is about the Government officers mixin in elections, for right in the face and eyes of what the Gineral said, there aint no sich active folks at the polls, as the folks who have got office.

Now, says there is the head man of the hull on em the next. Government himself what is he about says I I sup nose, says I. he was so afraid lhat the patronage of the Government would, come in conllict with the purity of e-lections that nothing would do but he must go and look to it himself and see that all went right. IV ell Major, says Mr. Forsyth, that is no doubt true e-nuf, for there aint no man so particular about these matters as Mr.

Van Buren Fell says that makes me think of old Jelhro Gleasonl the miller and his two sons every time the boys was busy baggin up a grist to the customers, old Jethro was sure to come in, and says he, Elihu haint you taken the toll out? Yes sir, says Elihu, I took it out, and then he'd go to the other boy and says he Elam have you taken the toll out? yes daddy, I look to that always mvself von ounsr rascals, savs old jethro, I dout believe a word on't; and with that he'd dip out the toll the third time to make sure on t. But, says all that is nothing to what I think is the worst of the pre-moni tor vs; that is the plagy editors all about trying to'stir up one class of folks agin another the poor agin the rich just as tho' a man who, by industry, has got a little aforehand in the world, was a natural enemy of a man who had no property. "Every man," says "who is able to work and earn a liv.in, in this country, is, according to nty notion, a rich man; for tho' he ha'nt got as much money as some others, he sleeps sounder, and has a better appetite, and the laws protect hint alike with others if he gets sick and can't work, and his family is in want, who does he go to for assistance? Does In go to these party editors office holders? or does he go to families of prop erty and character tor-assistancer And when poor foreigners come to this country and want work, who gives it to them? do political newspaper editors anil political office holders give it to them: do they build houses and work not stop'd will so risht into a cold sweat and collaps. But, 'says there is a remedy and that is for every man, rich and poor, to look to the laws obey lhe laws go to the ballot box and put in his honest vote, and do all he can to keep the peace, and suffer no bad man to advise him to the contrary. Aint that a good remedy says It is so, Major, says 'Wont that keep off the says I.

'It will says he 'Wont things get blue' says 'if it aint attended tor' 'I am afraid so' says Mr. Forsyth 'Then' says if I go clear of collapse and Kollaree by droppin all kinds of hard lickers, and by keepin cool, and watching agin things gettin worse with tne, and folks all about the country take my advice at elections; and obey the laws, and commit no riots, these national preiuonitories like these things that ANOTHER STEAMBOAT fEXPLO--SION. SEVERAL LIVES The steamboat Fairy Queen, whitili arrived at St. Lsuis on the 2d instant, brings information of the loss of the steamboat Banner, on her passage from Louisville to that port. This boat it ap- pears, burst her boiler near a place call-the Devil's Island, on the Tuesday previous, by which accident five persons lost their lives, and thirteen others The bow of the boat, (a letter states,) "was very much shattered every thing torn away the boiler deck gone, and the boiler which burst overboard.

It was with difficulty that the-boat was kept from sinking, and equally hard to keep her from burning up." Sh.e was at last got ashore, and a short time afterwards the Fairy Queen cam.es up, rendering her all the assistance in her power, took on board all the passengers, landed the wounded at Cape Girardeau, and brought the others to St. Louis. We understand that the Banner stopped her engine for a moment only, to repair some part of it; she a-gain started, and the fatal accident happened. Inq. Cour.

Among the to any disgraceful scenes of outrage which look place yesterday, that which occurred in the township of Moyamensing, at a late hour in the e-tening, appears lo have been the most terious in its consequences. Besides the destruction of a block of five hand-ome and valuable houses, the property of our townsman Mr. Rob I), il appears that several individuals were seriously injured, and perhaps one or more killed.

The particulars of this dreadful scene of violence, as well as we could learn from the various contradictory statements made on the ground this morning, appear to be as follows: The Whigs of Moyamensing had established their head quarters in the iavern at the corner of Christian and Ninth street, opposite the District Hall, where the elections are held. The Jacks.onn.ion established their head quarters on the opposite side of the way, by the erection of a booth on the pavement, having failed in an attempt to procure the use an untenanted house in the' same row jth the higs. In ihe course of the evening, the Jackson party, being muc si onger on the ground than their opponents, committed many assaults peaceable JFhijT voters, by breaking their latt-t herns, tearing; away their electioneering bills, and finally in knocking 'own hiliff them. This course to have been pursued un4 lil human nature could submit to the aggravating insults no longer. The Whigs made a rally and to punish the insolence of the Jacksonmen, made a rush on them, and cut kown their hickory pole.

The ground then became quiet- the disturbance was considered -as finally settled, and peace was fully restored. This staie of things, however, continued but a short time; the opposing party, in the interim, had ieen collecting their forces from Southward the city, and upper districts, and suddenly and unxepectedly appeared on the ground in great numbers, and made a desperate attack upon the Whig Head Quarters, driving into the house.nearlv every whig on the ground. They deliberately set tire lo the splendid Liberty Pole in front.
