OCTOBER 20, 1049. PENNSYLVANIA. The election in Penn sylvania took place on the Pth inst , and .result ed most cheeringly for the democratic party. The whig presses, many of them, are so disap pointed and ill-tempered about it that they wont publish the news! In the city of Philadelphia tvhic'h always gives strong whig majorities, and where Gen. Taylor got 5,000 majority, a democratic Sheriff has been elected by 1,000 majority in the city and county, and the democratic candidate for Canal commis sioner, received 1500 majority in the city and county. For Mayor of Philadelphia and city council men, there was a serious disagreement among the whigs, and many would not vote for the reg ular whig candidate. In consequence of this, an independent ticket was made up, with a whig lor Mayor and a mixture of democrats and whigs for councilmen. This ticket was elected. The Legislature thoroughly democratic, a ma jority of one in the Senate, but about20 in the House. The democratic Canal commissioner will get 10,000 majority. Gen. Taylor had started as some of his whig friends said, on another northern tour, but when he got to Baltimore, he met this news plump in the face and it was too much for him; he turned back home. OHIO. The election in Ohio took place on the 9th inst. The Union has a telegraphic des patch saying that the whole State has been heard from nearly, and the Senate will have, 7 whigs, 1G democrats, 1 free soiler. The House will have 34 dejiocrats, 30 whigs; 6 free soiiers. The election, we suppose was only for Legislature. ANNEXATION OF CANADA: It is said that a declaration in favor ofannexa tion to the IJ.

Since 9 o'clock last night our city has been the scene of another of those bloody and sangui nary riots which have lately tarnished its fair name. It appears that a gang of men and boys, amoun fing to several hundred, mostly armed with guns, pistols, and knives, calling themselves "Killers," commenced hovering about St. Mary's street at an early hour in the evening, which is princi pally inhabited by colored people of the most dissolute character. At the same time there were several knots of colored persons hanging about, and two or three collisions occurred. Before 10 o'clock an attack was made upon a tavern called the California House, kept by a colored man who is said to have a white wife, which fact is thought to have excited the indig nation of the mob. The house was soon in flames, and the inmates driven out and fired upon; and men, women, and children were seen flying from their houses in extreme terror, chased by gangs who pelted them with brickbats, and fired after them with guns and pistols. Many were wound ed, some mortally, whilst one was killed outright- Meanwhile the fire made great progress, and spread to a number of adjoining bnildings; but several engine and hose companies were soon on the ground, when a truly frightful scene oc curred. The firemen were fired upon, not in solitary cases, but actually in a running fire, and by volleys of several guns and pistols at once. They were also assailed by showers of brick-bats, and their hose cut in every direction. The first companies that arrived were compelled, as the only mode of avoiding wounds or death, to leave the neighborhood. Five or six were so severely wounded, that they were carried to the hospital on settees. Two were shot whilst standingon an engine, and one named Barney Himtnelvvright fell with a ball in his heart. Shortly before midnight, a body of police forced their way to the scene of action, when more firing ensued, and though stoutly resisted they maintained their ground, and succeeded in keeping off the crowd, so as to enable two of the engines to go to work. The rioters still continu ing their assaults on the police, several compan ies of military were called out, and marched to the ground at one o'clock this morning. The military remained all night, and gave such pro tection to the firemen as enabled them to extin guish the flames. , The companies . on duty were dismissed at 7 o'clock this morning, which was a signal for the rioters again to assemble, and their work of de vastation was resumed. Several houses were fired, and various outrages committed, when eight more companies were ordered out by the sheriff, who reached the disturbed district at 10 o'clock. The mob was again dispersed after some severe skirmishing; during which a number of persons were seriously wounded. Cannon were then planted in the streets, and the firemen have just succeeded in again extinguishing the flames. NEW YORK, Oct. 12. Cotton 11 to 11 for best upland. ' FLORIDA.

The following dead shot at h!g"gery, though not new, is fwli of truth, and cannot be too often fired at our whig friends: Repolvod. That .there lias been tnest manifestly a want"" of principle and ordinal-. morality in the condet ol tbu whig party, as is hwn in the recorded facta that their leaders firs-t Toted for the Mexican war. iu Congress theu voted agaiut supplies to carry it on then voted the war they had voted fi r was Uflnet-ecsary and' uncont-titutiokal then voted against indemnity and against a peace then Toted against receiving or organizing the new territory theu threatened, if they got the power, to cede backtbi territory we had won with blood a nd treasure; and finally, in face of all these acts, nominated, and by false prcteuciS elected, as their president, the rery man whom they had' denounced as the head butcher, who had advised tho march to the Bio lirande. headed our armies in the blomli-. . e.-t battles, and in favor of seizing five Mexican prov ince up to the Sierra Madre. for indemnity forthe expen ses ef the war: Another resolution expresses the opinion that -the democratic party should urge upon the Sen ate the justice of withholding confirmation -of the appointments of President Taylor, until ho should give good reasons for removing compe tent and faithful men, (democrats) from oilier, or else frankly acknowledge that he removed for political reasons. We are inclined to think that it would s-ervs -him right to fix him in that way; but whether it would be expedient or would produce any good effect we cannot say. If it would have the ef fect of making candidates for the Presidency, honorable, it ought to be done; for Gen. Tav lcr has played too strong a game. "The apostacy of France, the immolation cf Rome, and the desecration of Hungary" is mourn- ed over; and the American Democracy urged to remember more than eVer, " that despotism ' in -, the old world, is but the money power acting by special legislation in the hands of Kings and Nobles: and that the same uower exists Lerr.
