From the Philadelphia National Gazette\u00a0\u00a0 <\/i>RIOT AND ARSON IN PHILADELPHIA<\/b><\/p>\n
We have received an account of a riot which took place last evening outside of the large new building called the \u2018Pennsylvania Hall\u2019, lately opened in this city for scientific and political discussions and lectures, including the discussion of the question of ABOLITIONISM\u2026\u2026.\u00a0 Last evening the hall was crowded with about three thousand persons, to hear a lecture by Mr. Garrison and others.<\/p>\n
At the close of Mr. Garrison\u2019s address, a mob outside was very noisy.\u00a0 Mrs. Maria W.Chapman, of Boston, then addressed the meeting for several minutes.\u00a0 She was followed by Mrs. Angelina Grimke, Weld, Lucretia Mott, of this city, and Abby Kelley.\u00a0\u00a0 In the mean time, the mob increased and became more unruly, and threw various missiles at the windows: no further injury was done than breaking the glass, as the blinds inside protected the audience\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026For the present, Philaelphia has been sufficiently disgraced by a single riot.<\/p>\n
