Philadelphia has, again, been the theatre of mob violence and riot. But little more than month has elapsed, since the spirit of ..Natye-Americanisn ; combined with Religious persecution attacked the Catholic lrish wantony murdered their unoffenanq men, women and children, and, yandal-iike. burned up their Churches and Libraries.
