A U G U S T A. FRIDAY MORNING, DECEMBER M. Wc give to-day all the news we have from the theatre of difficulty in Pennsylvania. These things arc full of frightful omens to every lover ol his country, and our republican institutions. The spirit of Loco-focoism is resistance to the supre macy of the laws, when they conflict with its dic tates and its will. Encourage it, and who shall stay its hand 1 Ask those who were witnesses of that dreadful period in the history of France when the Legislature was compelled to register the edicts of a mob ! That history is full of aw ful lessons to us, and the scenes at bring them up fresh to the memory of the patriot. Lafayette Course. Fourth Day—Four Mile Heats. Col.

The bill was received last night by a gentleman of this city. The Philadelphia National Gazette of the Bth, states that several volunteer companies of that city, numbering nearly one thousand men, armed and equipped according to the orders issued by the Governor, took passage in the rail road cars for Harrisburg on that morning. Their presence will undoubtedly suppress all disturbances at the Capitol. From Florida. The following items containing the. latest intel ligence from Florida we gather from the Talla hassee Floridian of the Blh Inst. “ On Thursday last three wagons were attacked by a party oflndians on the Magnolia road, about eight miles from Camp Waoisia. The Indians were supposed to number fifteen or twenty —they rifled the wagons of provisions and some little clothing, doing no further mischief. They de manded of the negro drivers powder and lead, but fortunately there was none in the wagons. Capt_ Hoffman, with a detachment of troops from Camp Wacissa and anumber of volunteers went in pur. suit, but were unsuccessful in falling in with the Indians. “We learn from Fort Brook, that as late as Dec. 4, the several scouting parties from that post had found no fresh signs of Indians. A few de scried huts had been discovered. Major Noel had left the post with the greater part of his force for a long scout of twelve or fourteen days. If t'tc Indians have returned west of the Suwanne, this expedition cannot fall, we think, in falling in with some of their parties.’’ The Creeks. —Wchavo reports from the west that the runaway Creeks have made their appearance in the neighborhood of the Chipola lake, and that the settlers have removed to lola for safety. Wc learn from Captain Hutter, stationed with his command at Stiffinuiga Bluff, on the Apalachicola, that few signs have yet been dis covered by his runners. If Indians are in the neighborhood, they keep well concealed, and have not, as wc have yet heard, attempted any mis chief. Some difficulties which have hitherto pre vented an efficient operation, we learn, are remo ved, and Captain 11. is authorized to adopt any measures which may lend to their discovery, and we doubt not will succeed, if possible, in routing them, orbringing them in, if they arc to be found.” Pennsylvania. Two public meetings were held at Philadel phia, on the 7th, each of which appointed a com mittee of Conference, to effect a compromise, in order to suppress the difficulties and disorder which had attended the organization of the Legislature. The resolution of the Whig meeting which as sembled in the morning was as follows : Resolved, That a Committee of Conference of five he appointed to confer with a committee, if su di should I e appoin’ed to be chosen by the meeting to be held at this place this afternoon. The Committee appointed in pursuance of this resolution were Horace Binney, Matthew New kirk, Thomas J. Cope, J. Hall Bready and George B. Hall. The resoluton adopted by the Van Burcn meeting, which assembled in the afternoon, was as follows : Resolved, That a committee of five he now appointed by the chair to meet the committee ap pointed this morning by a meeting of whig citi zens—and that they be instructed to confer with that committee, with a view to the restoration of order, and the re-establishment of peace and the supremacy of the laws in this Commonwealth— provided the committee so appointed on behalf of this meeting shall he assured that a military force will not march from the city and county of Phila delphia under the recent proclamation of the Governor; this meeting being fully satisfied that the intervention of an armed force must be de structive of all hope of benefit from the proposed conference. The following gentlemen were appointed the committee : John K. Kane, Henry Horn, Dr. Geo. F. Leh man. Col. Janies Page, and John H. Dohnerf. The two committees then had a correspond ence through their respective Chairman, which was terminated without any practical result. The Chairman of the Whig Committee hav ing proposed a conference of the two Committees, the proposition was accepted by the Chairman of the Van Uuren Committee, and ten o’clock, A. I M. on Saturday, named as the hour for holding it. The following notes then passed between them, terminating the correspondence: Sir:—You wore aware last night that the Com mittee of which 1 am Chairman, adjourned to 10 this morning. 1 shall consequently be unable to lay before them until that hour, your last note of yesterday’s date, received to day. - I am sir, very respectfully your obedient scrv’l, e HOR. BINNEY, Chairman. J. K. Kane, Chairman. * Philadelphia, Dec. 8, 1838. if Sir:—The committee of Democratic citizens have just learnt with extreme pain, that a military ! * force has marched from Philadelphia for Harris ;- burg, under orders from the Governor. II This intelligence, by the terms of their ap pointment, annuls their authority to meet your ’ committee in conference, e I am, sir, your very obedient servant, , r J. K. KANE, Chairman. Saturday morning, Bth December, Hon. Binxev, Chairman, &c. &c. r< _ b Sir:—l have laid before the Committee your last note, and they instruct me to say, that while they regret the failure of the attempted confer ence, it is no more than they anticipated, for al though the condition connected with the resolu tion for your appointment had not in your opinion presented an impediment to the cons rence, it would have been impossible for the Committee to have agreed to draw into question the late military orders, or to make them the subject of remark or l- comment in any way; and this, from the first of y these notes, was apprehended to be your wish. The military orders have been issued under the *' law, by persons iu office, responsible for what they b do ; and it was neither within our appointment, a nor our personal disposition, to call attention to this point, away from the unheard of outrages upon the rights of the people, through the per sons of t heir representatives.—The only object of *’ the conference on our part, would have been to t unite the moral force of general opinion, unaf d footed by party, in suppressing that outrage; and so the Committee had instructed me to say, when it became unnecessary by the last of the coiumu- R mentions received this morning. b I am, sir, your very obedient servant, c ' HOR. BINNEY, Chairman. J. K. KANE, Esq. Chairman. Philadelphia, Dec. 8, 1838. Correspondence of the Philadelphia Herald §• Sentinel Pennsylvania Legislature. Harri sit vug, Dec. 7, 1888. Dear Sir—There was not a quorum of the d members in the Senate to-day. It is still unsafe t for n majority of the members to appear in their places. They are as liable to insult, abuse ami indignity as they have boon at any time since their meeting. The bullies arc still here mixed c up with the crowd and occasionally give tie mo n i. stratum of their desire to act. By their audacious t conduct, they still keep the multitude of people here, in control to their will, but public sentiment '. among (lie locofooos is rapidly changing. The p intelligent and respectable of t hat party are be ginning to whisper their opinions, and their dis approbation of the violent and illegal peocccdings J of the disturbed spirits from the county. They arc beginning to see the necessity for the rcstora s tion of order. Those who reside in town, feel I that their title to property is fast loosening, that the (enure by which they hold even their lives, is ■ weakening before the attacks of disorderly mob il ilcs. They hold all by a single thread. Rely e upon it, that a better feeling is beginning to pre vail. Mr. Strohm was the Speaker pro tern, and af ■> ter the call ol the House he adjourned until to il morrow. The same course was taken by the usurpers in the Hall ol the House. The chairman adjourned after the reading of the journal. r kou will by this time have seen the paper is a sued by the majority of the Senate, and that sign r cd by the Speaker of the House, Mr. Cunning hum. Both these papers are in letter true, but they do not convey in its true colors the truth of R affairs as they existed. No set form of language i- which shall not have the appearance ofexaggera c tion, could convey the horrid facts as here wit nessed ; and no description could exaggerate. E Words are weak to describe ; and when it is said what was literally true, that the laws and consti tution were trampled under foot—the powers of government usurped by a mob—all ordcraud place destroyed,—who can realize it ! Prosecutions for treason have been commenced 1 against the most prominent agent of the General r Government here, and against others of the bullies > who are known. But there is great difficulty in proceeding. Their true names are not known. Some fifty or sixty answer to the name of Peters —Joe, Bill, Dick and Sam Peters. But their persons can be identified. The preliminary tes timony is being taken before Judge Blythe, the i Hon. President Judge of this district, who will issue his warrant for their arrest. Mr. Bartley, the Senator from Bradford, is attending to the matter, at the private residence of the Governor. In no public place could the matter bo proceeded in with safety. This morning the Judge is at his private chamber inquiring into the case, with Mr. I Cooper, of Adams Co., as assistant. 1 It is as uncertain to-day as it was yesterday, ! when order and safety can be restored. The military detachment under the command ’ of Major General Patterson, left this place for Harrisburg on Saturday morning, to the number of about 1200. We learn that up to 3 o’clock of that day, they had only travelled about sixteen ; miles.— lb. •Still Later. Extract of a letter dated, Harrisburg, Deo. S. Several companies of volunteers, 270 in num !’ her, arrived here to night from Philadelphia, and 400 more arc expected to-morrow morning. Af fairs are still in great confusion. Extract of another letter, 1 “Harrisburg, Dec. 9. The Senate and both divisions of the lower 1 House transacted business peaceably yesterday. The prospects of a compromise fades away us time progresses.” 1 Keystone— Extra. Harrisburg, Saturday night, 12 o’clock. ; An armed force, from the city of Philadelphia, have possession of the Capitol of the State. Two companies have already arrived, and five more are expected before morning. Wo publish the following extract of an article in the New-York Evening Post, over signature ol “Veto,” written by a friend of the Administra tion. It will be seen that he very candidly and sensibly assigns as the causes of the defeat of that party, the very reasons which the Whigs have often urged upon the people as grounds upon which they should be defeated. “To what do we owe our defeat 1 “I desire iu the outset to make a dislinct de claration that Ido not participate in the enj of corruption and fraud that has been raised. “We must look further and deeper for the f cause of our defeat. I confess that my prevail ing impression is to attribute want of success, whether in individuals or parlies, to want if con duct, to tome error against which they might have guarded. And in the present case 1 believe it will not be difficult to trace the loss of many of our adherents to our own blunders. The 1 limits of the articles do not permit a full ami de tailed statement of the whole case, but it is easy in a few words to maintain this position. “Our errors, I believe, commenced with the • late Administration, and wc have to trace the gradual falling olf of our majorities far back in the daps of President Jackson. This most as suredly is said not to throw the blame on one now deprived of power, but because it is just to Mr. Van Burcn to acquit him of mistakes which he has not made. The present Chief Ma gistrate is a man of the mast acute sagacity, of r the most calm and annulled temper. The firm -3 ness of his conduct commands respect and udmi . ration, and I have no doubt that had he had the . control at an earlier day he would have avoided . the errors of his predecessor, i “The first cause, then, to which I believe the l disasters arc to be ascribed is the violence of the ) lute Administration, and the hostile position ; assumed and maintained by many of its organs r up to the present time tow Aims th k com m kiicial f class. 'Fhe late President had great and com . manding virtues—they were too marked not to , be recognized—a strong sense of justice, love of j truth, and hatred of partiality or wrong. But , ho had also great faults; these faults were , chiefly what arc called of the minor class— faults s uj temper; but in his case they wore ol much . greater important c. f “The course pursued by him in regard to the j United States Bank-was one founded upon - sound reason, and which must ultimately com -1 maud the respect and assent of this country, but i iu the course of the controversy he permitted him . self, by the violence of the Opposition, to he be trayed into a retaliation of the most lasting in jury to himself and to the democratic cause. For this violence of temper, caught up and echoed by servile followers and blind imitators, created a belief in the minds of many that the Government wee hostile to Ihccummeidal inter j ests of the country. “What conviction could be more fatal to an Administration'! A country commercial to its core, of which the commercial characteristics arc 3 most intimately blended with all the other pur -3 suits, at oucc took the alarm, amt it was only sur r prising that this cause did not sooner produce its 1 effect, 3 “ Another fundamental error of (he Adminis -1 (ration (though tins has been rather one of the Go - verument organs than of the Government itself,) s has been she violent and ultra language that it > has us/don thesubjcct of the circulating medium, t and which has given rise to the widespread bc -3 lief that it desired to establish a compulsory spe . cic currency. This preposterous idea lias been . readily caught up by the Whig prints, and it lias s been rendered plausible by the ahsi iiiuties that / have been echoed and received about gold and sil - tier, as if, iu a country like ours, paper, as a me -1 dium of exchange, was not as necessary as the t air we ureathe. s “ With this is to be classed the hostility to the ( - small-bill law —a law which has undoubtedly y produced a great effect upon the election of this i- State. But I believe it susceptible of proof that that law would not have had this effect, if it had not been conceived part and parcel, in a scheme to banish paper money from circulation, and to juslcn upon us an exclusive specie currency,” ~ “1 approach another system of measures pur ,l sued by the Administration, which I believe has tended greatly to discredit it in the popular mind, and that is, the appointments to office —the sys _ tematized adoption of partisanship as a basis of promotion. It is not to be disguised that this t originated with General Jackson. It was un p questionably the greatest fault in his character, c that he was too liable to be biassed by his personal attachments. A trait tiiat would lie admirable iu , private life became dangerous in a public station. “He made it a rule to provide for his friends, j and it was impossible for a man in his situation to discriminate as to the motives of that friend- C ship. Tiie result was, that the most sordid per c sonai motives were in many cases considered as but devotion to the true interests of the country, and rewarded accordingly. It very shortly be came a maxim to reward partisans by lucrative 1 and honorable offices, and in an ill-omened hour 5 it was declared that to the victors belong the 1 spoils’ AN ADAGE FRAUGHT WITH CORRUPTION AND ABUSE TO AN EXTENT THAT DEFIES CAL -5 CULATIO.V.” The New York Herald says: “Wc learn’ J through aprivate channel, that the Russian Con sul, of Boston, on a visit to Montreal, has been arrested by the public authorities of Lower Cana da, on a charge of instigating the la.;- ebellion in that Province, and of aiding and aliening the in surrectionists in their movements. The Consul, it seems, has several children attending a’convent or seminary there, for their education. On a visit to see them, the arrest iu question was made.” Wc have been politely furnished witli the fol lowing particulars of the loss of tiie fine steam boat Wilmington, by Capt. Gallagher. After a heavy blow of 48 hours, at 5 o’clock in the morn ing of the 10th November, found the boat leak ing badly from the constant and severe strain of tremendous cross seas. An attempt was made by keeping both pumps going and setting all hands bailing, to reach Cape Florida, about 00 miles to tiie south of them, but tiie water gained so fast that all efforts were found in vain, and tiie safety of all on board required that stie should be directed to tire shore. The boat had settled down to her guards, about a mile from tiie beach, when the small boats were launched, and al! on board reached the land in safety, hut w ith the loss of all except what they wore. The steamboat went gradually to pieces after striking the beach.—The | gale continued so as to render all attempts to pro- j cced in tiie boats for assistance useless until tire | 19th, when the Captain and six men put to sea; j and after pulling about 36 miles, fell in witli tiie U. S. sloop Panther, under the command of Lt. I Shubrick of the Navy, lying at Solder Key. On I reporting the circumstances, the sloop was im- I mediately git underway and proceeded up (lie coast in search of the parly left on the beach. After running about 23 miles, llie other tw o hoots " ere met at midnight, w ith the remainder of the dew. All were taken on board and conveyed to Indian Key, and thence in theU.fci. Mailschoon cr Hope to Key \\ esl, where they arrived on the 33d, and took the sloop Chilu for Mobile. Not a sail was discovered during the nine days they were on the beach. Tiie Indians began to collect around them before their departure, and built fires to attract others of tile tribe; but they did not collect in sufficient numbers to venture an attack. A Spanish brig, tiie Triumph, from New Orleans, via Havana, hound to Cadiz, and loaded witli cotton and cigars, w ent ashore about 10 miles to tiie north ot where tiie Wilmington was strand ed, on the same night. The rrew was said to lie armed. We understand that $35,000, about the cost of the steamboat before leaving port, were insured in [lie Philadelphia, Baltimore and New .Orleans offices— .¥oi.7e Commercial Register. 1 he I .
