ire condensed. 'I he result ptoves, lh it llieL. S.
) ink furnished mouoy for corrupt purme, which
et-in to have been fraudulently kept by those to
whom it wa entrusted;
"The committee appointed by tho Legisla
ture to enquire whether nny corrupt moans Ivivc
been employed by the Dan'is, or their agents,
to influence the action of tlio Lcrfitdatnrc, or
tiny other department of Government, Iihvc nt
l.'nili ni:u!c llieir report. Mcssr Shuis-wood,
IJ.vine, renniman, and Peford, composing n
majority of tho committee, nnd with one excep
tion unfriendly to the Governor, unite in a re
port that they find no evidence whatever ofcor
r opt ion in the Governor, the IjcgisUtttrc, or
any other officer 0 the Government.
Mr. I,ovvr)Vone of the committee submitted
n minority report, in which he njjroes with the
majority, Hint "THERE IS NO EVIDENCE,
DIRECT OR INDIRECT, OF ANY COR
RUPTION ON THE PART OF THE EX
ECUTIVE, OK ANY MEMBER OF THE
EElJISLATl-RE." Hut Mr. I.mvry very
properly protects against the course of the
Committee, "in receiving hearsay evidence in
all cases, except where reports related to 11
member of the Commit to.' Mr. Ixivvry alj
objects to 1he 'course of the committee, in pry
ing into the private alia i in and buHiier. matters
of individuals not members of the Legislature,
or otherwise connected with these transactions,
and entirely irrelevant to the subject ol inquiry.
Mr Delbrd, another member of the commit
tee, also states in a peperate report, "that there
i: no evidence whatever ofnny nut hority from
the Governor toeny one to ue his name in tho
manner in which it is done in some letters be
fore the Committee, nor does it appear that lie
bad any knowledge of agents being employed
by the Hanks to use any corrupt measures for
the purpose of effecting Legislation for their
benefit."
The known hostility of a majority of that
committee to the Governor, and to nil the lead
ing friends ol his administration the manner
in which they prosecuted their enquiries, re
ceiving hearsay evidence. prying into private
business transactions, wholly irrevclant to the
matter before them sitting in secret session-'--
obtaining an act of pardon to the guilty to turn
states evidence refusing to produce or read
in a court of justice the testimony in their
possession, in support 'of criminal prosecution
directed by the Governor, and thus tiermittin!
the acknowledged criminals to escape all
these circumstances will free the report of the
committee from the leat suspicion of partiality
for the Governor, or any of his political friends.
If they had found the lenst evidence of corrup
tion on the part of the executive, it would have
been heralded forth in "lowing colors, as a
sweet morsel to be used on electioneering oc
casions, for political effect.
The following extracts from the report will
fhow the decision of the committee, acquitting
the different departments of government of the
c!ier''6 made against them.
"On the -Uh of March, 1 W, the I.oarTlof Hi
recto is of the U. S. Rank, npikiintcd a special
committee of three directors, to proceed to
Hurrisburg, and generally to adopt such uica
s ir s as they may find necessary to protect the
interests of Iho Bank.
On tho aist March, J MO, a voucher was fi
h?il, show i.tg, thnt between the "Jllli March
l-ll), and tie 'SU April lrW, the sum uf j-iin.,-.VM
was paid by the Bank to that committee.
Tl. it between the ltilh June 1 ?-!(, and October
17th 1 It, the further sum of KJiLlTj was paid
to the committee ; that according to the testi
mony of the cashier, the greater part of this mo
ney was paid to Geo. Handy, one of the commit
tee (the other members testifying they knew
nothing about the payment or application of the
money) that on the l(Hh March, 11 cor
rupt contract was mndo between Geo. Handy
mid Daniel II. I'roadheud, to which Joseph
ixilmes. President of the Moyamensing Hank
was pr'.vy to procure a release ami suspension
of nil penalties to which the H.mk) lire now
subject, other than IIhj kKl interest, c.
Tins was to be done in ten days, end was refer
red 'o as necessary in order to secure to Mr.
Van Daren the vote of Pennsylvania. This
contract expired on the yoth March J- in. No
country demands. Their character is now be
fore the country, and their Utters and with nee
together with tlmt of all the other witnesses,
examined by the committor, limy be s.vlcly sub
mitted without fin ther comment, other than the
remark that they all state that they have no
knowledge ot any corruption on the part of the
Executive, members of the legislature, or other
ollicers of Government, nor in their intercourse
with all or any of them during that session, was
there uny thing improper." '"The committee
report, therefore, that the Bank of the United
Slates attempted and intended corruption and
bribery, but there is no evidence before the
committee that a single dollar was paid out by
the agent or agents, to any Ixody, for that pur
pose, directly or indirectly."
The committee then proceed to refer" to
the strong desire of the gentlemen representing
improvement districts', to get some appropria
tion, however small, towards the unfinished
lines, and to other circumstances, being suffi
cient to account for the result, without resort
ing to corruption, direct or indirect.
Not one word of comment upon the forego
ing extracts from the report of I he majority.
It will he remembered that ill the letters deli
vered over to the committee to George Handy,
unwarianted reference were made to vniious
distinguished individuals to wit, Pirsident Van
Buret), Governor Porter, Judge B'ythe, Judge
Burnsidi's, Judge Lewis, Judge Porter, Judge
Barton, Senator Fleming, Auditor General
Packer, Attorney General Johnson, and a h"st
of others. From the mention of their names in
this way, rumors of every kind have been pet
afloat. It is but just to them to remark, that
they have all, with the exception of Presi
dent Vati Huron and Governor Porter, been ex
amined under oath, and expressly declare that
they have no knowledge whatewr of any cor
rupt or improper attempts to influence the Le
gislature, Executive, or other departments of
Government. In this they are fully siis'ained
by the report of the committee, which declares
the unwarrantable references contained in the
letters to be "vile falsehoods, meant to cover up
the fraudulent purose (of BroaUhcad, Sohns &
Reed) of converting the money to their own
use!" It will also be remembered that the
committe state that the letters and evidence of
these men, and nil the other witnesses exami
ned, assert that they have no knowledge of any
corruption on the part of the Executive, mem
bers of the Legislature or other officers of the
Government, or any thing improper in their in
tercourse with nil or any of them.
