To Farmers.—We have received from Mr. James Ronatdion, of Philadelphia, a small Pamphlet, in which he gives his reasons for importing grain and farming implements into this country. Mr. It, we understand, is a gentleman of considerable property, and appears to be actuated by a sincere and laudable desire to improve , the agricultural and horticultural interests of the United States. For a number of years past, we believe, he has paid an annual visit to England, for the purpose of making himself acquaint. ed with iwhatever was likely to be of service or in terest to; the Fanner. Mr. Rortaldson has but recently returned from Liver. poid, and offers fOr Ra le a great variety of seeds, &c., which he has procured at great pains and expense.

Canals were dug, steams were made navigable, and Rail roads constructed. To carry on these public weds; it was found necessary to pledge the faith and credit of the State for millions.. Nearly all the works originally 'contemplated de in an unfinished state, or only in part completed, and from causes which we shall explain on, sortie future pension, our Rail-roads and Canals, in tbe)Placelof becoming a source of profit and revenue to the State, have proved a beriberi and an expense—the receipts for tolls, &c., not being sufficient to cover expenses. Thus we see that Pennsylvania has incurred an enormous public debt, amounting to upwards of thirty-six millions, and that it will require the exer cise of the - utmost prudence and economy on the part of our Legislature to meet. the , annual interest as it falls due on this. startling sum, to sayi nothing of extinguishing the principal. The revenues of the State thus far have not been sufficient tol pay the interest of our publidlebt, and the State, year alter year, has been obliged to add to the principal in or• der to pay the said interest. , I Thus situated, Pennsylvania cannot recede, but must boldly push forward, and consummate he plans . , originally contemplated. With an exhausted treasury and an impaired credit, it behooves those who have been entrusted with the helm of Statz;to guard the interests of the commonwealth, and to increase its re venues, if possible, without imposing additional bottoms on the people.. Let our Legislature remem ber that among the assets of Pennsylvania fis her in terest in th-g Public Lands; and that She can neither be juggled 'tor swindled out of her portion of the Na tional Domain with impunity. By reference to another column it will be seen that a resolution passed the Rouse of Representatives of this State,ion Setup. day last, instructing our Senators and Representatives in Congress to resist any and all attempts under what pretence sower the same may be made, to deprive the People pf this State of their just proportion of the common inheritance in the public. lands.

The next Cabinet.—The Cabinet makers seem to be as busy as ever in' their humane and laudable de sire to save General Harrison the troublesome and delicate task of selecting hie Cabinet otficere. Accord ing to'the last Bulletin, the following gentlemen will 'compose the new Cabinet rs Mr. Webster, Secretary of State, Or Mr. Ewing, Post-Master General, Mr. Bell, Secretary of. War, Mr. Granger, Secretary of the Navy, Mr. Crittenden, Attorney General. It is not settled who is to be the Secretary of the Treasury, although all admit that Pennsylvania should be. and must be, represented in the Cabinet. We are inclined to think, that the 4 , knowing ones," in their various assertions, speculations, and prophe cies, will be for once mistaken, and that General Har rison will both speak and act for himself. is Olerip" has a thorough aversion fot every silecieV of advice which might be construed into dictation. a Keep it before the People," that Congress has been sitting nearly two months and that during that time not even a single act worth speaking of, or recording, has,be..en passed.

And whereas, sundry other warrants have peen since drawn by the said Executive upon the,present State Treasurer and his predecessor, for certain other Attorney fee4the payment of which warrants has been refused on the ground that paynient there. of is not authorized by law : whereof, It is import. ant that legislative action should-be had in the pre. mises.—Therelore, Resolved, That the Judicary Committee be in. strutted to take the subject into consideration, and make report thereon as soon as practicable ; and if in the judgement of said cotnmittee said disburse. ments were not authorised by law. that they report an act to prevent the recurrence of a similar error, and providing for the retotery of said.sum thus il. legally disbursed. The Harrisburg Chronicle, cemtnenting on this high handed proceeding of Governor Porter—to make use of the mildest expression—holds the fol. lowing language:— THE EXTRA E 2,000. We are gratified that steps have been taken in the Senate which are intended , to lead to the recove ry of the s2oooairawn from , the Treasury on the warrant of Gov. Porter, for the purpose of reward. ing his brother and the Attorney General for per. forming Extra party services, and to put a stop to there drafts upon the Treasury, toithout the author— ity of law, hereafter, Mr. Sullivan introduced a ;preamble and resole. tion into the Senate on Saturday, setting "forth the above fact;and further alleging that the Governor bad drawn other warrants upon the Treasury, which however, the present and the late Treasurer very properly refused to - pay,and requiring the Judiciary committee to enquire into the 'whiect with a view to check their illegal draft's upon the Treasury hereafter, and to recover the money which had al ready been paid to J. M. Porer and O. F. Johnson. Mr. Sullivan stated in the .coorse of an explanation of his views for offering this resolution, that the ttvo cases referred to when the Gctvernor's warrants had not been honored were, one in the case of a Quo Warrant° against Judge Lei , and the other in the case of Stonebreaker, whicit if we are not misin formed, was a personal offer of the Governor's It is not the amount drawn from the Treasury that constitutes the objection to this conduct of the Exec utive, but it is because h in effect puts the Treasury into his own control, which is expressly provided against by the constitution: PUBLIC L4NDS.

Damages on Dektwari Dimion.—A report from- . Mr. Huffnagle, engineer, who was despatched to tis certain the damages which has been sustained on the Delaware Division by the recent freshet, Was sent to the House on Saturday by the Canal Board. It appears that the following estimated appropriations wilt be required : Damage to Mechanical work 'Canal Ordinary repaint on work not affected by the freshet, as per Ann. Report 10,500 00 $150,410 90 This total will be required to restore,the.naviga' tton. We trust that speedy action will be taken.— It is the most lucrative division of the state works,- the toll last year basing amounted to more thin $90,000. The Census and Apportionment—The New York Sun remarks that the total population of the United States, according to the census, will stand about ad follows—whites 14,250,000 free colored 400,000, slaves 2,354,000—t0tal 17,000,000. T he ratio of 60,000 which has been proposed as the begs of representation, would deprive many of the States of part of their present representation, and leave very large fractions unrepresented in a majority of the States. The Express contains a table showing the effect of such a ratio compared with the present. Ely this it appears that the thirteen nod.slaveholding states, which under the present ratio 0f,47,700 have a representation in the House of Congress o,f 142 members, would, by the ratio proposed have such re. presentation increased t 0 .114 members, Oils the thirteen slaveholdingsitates have now 100, would be decreased to 95, making 249 members in the House. A ratio of 50,000 would increase the House to about 300 members. Extra Session.-48 The Spy in Washington7,Bl. lading to the fact that the nation was, in ,debt almost twenty million of dollars, the writer says 46 I hear that an informal meeting of the W hig Senators was held last evening. All in thetah. whose health permitted, were present. The sites. tion of the Treasury, and the demands upon it, With the means provided to meet those demands, were duly considered. The result of their deliberations was, , that without an Extra Session, the Goverment would be disgraced. This, I understand, was the !cry general impression of those in attendance. I now consider it reduced to a positive certainty, that an extra, Session of Congress will be held, and' that, probably at an early day. Such Legislatures tuf may be in session, and which by law, cannot .elect their members of Congress before May, should forth with provide for the contingency. Virginia has yet a Senator to choose. The Locofocos, it is supposed by some, will defeat the election if they can,—Sneh a movement would be consistent with the en* of the destructives. North Caro lina.—John M. Morehead was inaugu- • rated and entered upon the duties of Governtir of North Carolina on Fridair last: The following is an extract from his inaugural address: Nothing do .surely indicates the happiness and. prosperity of a people, as numerous school haunt , well filled, during the week; and churches well• crowded on the Sabbath, and the latter is curate follow;" the former. If we desire to perpetuate our glOrione political institutions, we must give to all our iveopk-, moral and intellectuid cultivation—that min wit° fat proves his intellect for six days in the week, and on , the seventh, endeavors to give It the proper direction, from the precepts of our Holy Religion, who learn" to . do unto others as be would they should do untqbim • that man will never become.a tyrant—anti can never be made a slave. _ An Atlantic Steainer - on Fire.—The Philadelphia . Inquirer learns from a passenger, that the steam ship Columbia, • from Liverpool for Boston, took fire on Monday morning last, at 2 A. M., when within about four hundred miles of Halifax. But few priesSusess - were awake at the time. The Captain was immedi ately called up, and succeeded, by great exertions, in the course of half an hour, through the ageh e y of f the crew, who conducted themselves niariftdjy-, on the occasion, in suppressing the flames. &Ws few minutes much , consternation prevailed, and the-Yes eel was pat for the nearest land. The life preservers were collected together—the - boats were placed • in '- readiness, and due preparations were made for the worst. The conduct of the Captain was co4l, possessed, and creditable in the highest degree. Florida.—A letter has been received at ,Pilatko from Colonel Looirs, dated eiViut Olinch,', stating, that thirty Three Indians had come in at tliat post:L Trozn TAIL had also come in and was going to' Tampa. It is thought that in all about six 4tendree Indians have presented themselves at Talons posts along the coast of the Gulf side. A party of the enemy lately attacked Fort Walker, killing two or three negroes and wounding one white woman. Fort Walker is between Micanopea and Newnansville.
