The committee to draft a constitution,re-, ported one. which was taken into eunsidera-' lion and adopted. A committee was appointed to report on the laws of the United States and of this - Commonwealth,touching fugitives from ser vice; to examine all the laws of this Com monwealth in reference to Slavery, and re• commend such action thereon as it may be proper for the convention to name; with leaveto report at some future time through the public journals, favorable to the Anti Slavery cause. The committee appointed to apply for the Hall of the House of Representatives for permission to occupy am deliver a lecture,• reported that it was refused by a vote of 6(i to 19. . AFTERNOON. A number of letters were presented from Alvan Stewart, Dr. Cox of New York, Win. Jay, William Whipper, Arnold Butfuin, Theodore S. Wright and others,Which wore referred to the committee on publication. The following resolutions were Olen adop ted as expressing the principles and pbjects of the friends of Anti Slavery. Inasmuch.as this body is composed of per. sons conscientiously differing from each oth er in their modes of divine worship, but all acknowledging their dependance on Al inigh- I ty God, for guidance and instruction. Therefore Resolved, That no particular form of re ligious devotion shall be observed by this convention. Resolved, That the principles of Univer sal Liberty inculcated by Franklin, Rush, W 'star, Jay,La Fayette,and other illustrous statesmen and philanthropists of our own and other countries, commend themselves to the serious consideration of every candid mind; that as abolitionists, we fully adopt them, and declare: "That it having pleased the Creator of the world to make of one flesh, all the chi!. .dren of men—it becomes them (us) to con suit and promote each others happiness, as members of the same family—however di versified they (we) may be by color, situa tion, religion, or different states ofsociety." That "it is more especially the duty of those persons who profess to maintain for themselves the rights of human nature, and who acknowledge the obligations of christi anity, to use such means us are in their pow er, to extend the blessings of freedom to every part of the human race"—and that • therefore, from a full conviction of the truth and obligation of these principles—from a desire to diffuse them wherever the wise rtes and vices ofSlavery exist, and in hum ble confidence of the favor and support of the Father of Mankind, the members of this convention pledge themselves to one another, to the friends of equal rights, wherever found, to the earth bound,stricken slave,and his unchristian oppressor, to use all the law. ful moral means they possess to produce the ,effitct our fathers attempted in 1790, naine iy—"to extend the blessings of freedom to every part of the human race." Resolved, That the prejudice so long ex. tensively cherished against our colored brother, so far froma palliating our guilt in enslaving his body and degrading his soul, le bolts sin which may be and ought to be immediately abandoned. Resehted, That we hail with great encour eget:mt. the efforts that are being mado by feinales in the prOmotion of Universal Lib erty, throughout our favoied land; and that we recognize in their sympathy and action, the influence they must exert in the great struggle for floinan Rights. Resolved, That whilst we have experi enced with unspeakable satisfaction, the un swerving advance of our principles through. out the free states, and their hearty adv• tion by many of our southern brethren, we also hail with thankfulness,the cheerinm b evi dence that our cause is appreciated by the inhabitants of other lands, and that the love of the God ()film oppressed has united them in sympathy-with us. Resolved, That we deem it the duty of parents to instil into the minds of their children a deep abhorrence of Slavery; and that we cordially invite the co-operation of the young in our efforts for its removal. Resolved, That we regard with -decided -approbation the course of those editors who have nobly dared to vindicate the -rights and plead the cause of the oppressed. and -earuesily recommend the various Anti-Sla very Sf es, th moonlit the State, antu dividnally favorable to the cause of ini• tnediate emancipation, to patronize such ed itors and periodicals as advocate our Inca sures, irrespective of-the political parties to' which they. may -belong. Resolved, That whatever difrerence of opinion may exist in respect to the degree and 'kind of obligation res•ing on the peo pie of -the free States, under - the Federal Constitution,•to return fugitive alio/este-their Masters, there is no obligation imposed on the sovereign States, to surrender the fiber• ties of any persons without trial by jury. Resolved, That the system of American Slavery is suchthat the certain ainalgamation of the white and black races by a most sin• ful process—can be prevented only through the general prevalence of Anti-Slavery principles. Resolved, That if it be unjust to compel the laborer to work without wages: If it be, unmerciful to separate from all the endearing tjes which wedded love have drawn around him: If it he covetousness to envy him the possession of his own body, and appropriate it to the use of another. If it would he uncharitable to treat a bro ther in a manner in which we ourselves would not wish to be treated. It pride consists in thinking ourselves su• perior to ethers, and refusing to acknnw• !edge their equably in the sight Of Hea ven: If hatred fills the breast when efforts are made to relieve the sufferings of our species: If revenge will induce us to treat a man worse, because others are his friends, so as to punish them through him. And, if these things are either slavery it selfor its natural fruits, then is it a deep and deadly sin, because it destroys all the heavenly virtues which constitute the Divine character. Resolved, That wo sincerely and con scientiously believe the perpetuation of Sla very in the southern states of this confede racy, will he productive of coniequences alike fatal to our republican institutions, and to our existence as a united people. Resolved, That we view with unquali fied satisfiiction, the increasing disposition of our citizens to abstain rigorously from the products of slave labor, and that we earnestly and affectionately recommend to our friends. far and near, to retnember at all times those who aro in bonds as bound with them. Resolved, That being friends of pence, and anxious to extend the mild and pacific principles of our religion, we would exhort every victim of oppression, whatever pro- vocations ho may have received, to banish from his mind all desires of claiming a re dress of grievances by violent means, and to put his trust in a higher power, who in due seasnn,will a s suredly redress the wrongs of his people. Resolved. That our cause being based upon the immutable principles of justice, we disavow all connexion udiatever wiili any political party or• man, except so far as they carry tau, practice the doctrines o Universal liberty contained in the declara• lion of our N.itional Independence. Resolved, That while we admit the le• gal right of the slave states, in their see arate and associate capacities, to regulate their political concerns according to their respective constitution and laws; we claim and determine to maintain the right of free discussion, and fearless expression of °pin. ion in relation to every subject which is accessible to the !Liman mind. Resolved. That the system of American' Slavery is a violation of righto which the Creator has given to them as intellee.' teal, moral and accountable beings, which can never be surrendered or usurped consis tently with moral obligation. That these ri.los, though some of them may be forfeit. ed by crimeore anterior to, and independent of all social compacts and human govern- ments. Resolved, That of all the measures adopt• ed by the opposers of our holy cause, there is none more abhorrent to intelligent piety than the vain attempt to save American Slavery from merited ignominy by presum ing to cast over it the shield of the holy scriptures, being that which is "just and e qual," while that of the system we oppose is unjust and oppressive. Resolved, That in christiarrineekness we intend to maintain the right of exhort ing those who uphold an institution so evi dently unjust as that of Slavery, to examine its operati , ins upon all classes of the commu nity,both individuallvand collectively—con• fident that if they do so with unprejudiced minds and sincere mmives,they will ba con• vinced of its deep sinfullness, and thus be prepared to commence, immediately, the great work of freeing themselves and their country, from its paralizing influences. Resolved, That having put our hands to the plough of liberty, we give our sacred pledge never to look back until the noxious weed of Slavery bhall be exterminated, root and branch, from the American soil. Resolved, That the sinfulness of Slavery lies chiefly in its vital,constituent principles, the holding and treating of man as property; and that in this respect all slave holdere, the . kind as well as the cruel, are alike guil ty of heinous sin, in withholding from their fellow men unalienable rights—trampling under foot the image of God, and disregard. ing the eternal and immutable distinction between a person and a thing. Resolved, That fills, Convention . deem the rewstablisliment of Slavery, by the peo ple of'rexas, after it had been Eibolisheti by legislative authorities of Mexico, an act of usurpation and cruelty unparalellcd in the I whole dark history of tyranny—a disgrace• Ito the civilized world, and to the age in which we live; and an act which our go vernment cannot sanction, directly or in directly., without justly entitling is as a people, to an eternity of infamy. Resolved, That a committee be appoint • ed to inquire into the intellectual and moral condition ofthe people of color in this state, and report, through the public. journals, such theta as they may deem interesting and important. Resolved, That it becomes the working men of the free states to-exert themselves' against the system,which reduces the wonx• LNG LIEN OF THE SOUTH to the condition of "CHATTELS PERSONAL, " the direct tendency of which is to degrade the laborer every where, in the public estimation—to make his honest industry disreputable—to create and rower, in all sections of ourcountry, an aristocracy hostile to the principles of that impartial democracy inrulcuted in the Gos. pet of Love, and reiterated in the Declara tion of American Independence. Whereas, Many ftrilfesned by pious Minis. ters and other pious men, are wont to admit Shivery to be au evil, who yet say the slave holder is not hound to frog his slave, until, in his judgment, the condition of the slave would be improved thereby—thus clearly asserting that it is proper fare moil to con tinue to do evil until he judges good most.. queoces will flow from his ceasing to do evil. Therefore, Resolved, That if Slavery is an evil, it is an evil which somebody is doing,: That it ever must be safe to cease to do evil: That we dare not be of the number of those who say that it is, or can be proper to con tinue to do evil that good may come:—and that in our judgment, lithe opinions of some eminent men on this subject, were to be generally received' y the community, they would go to destroy the foundations of all moral and religious obligations, since no sinner will be like to think the consequences of his forsaking a wicked practice will be good so long us his sin is profitable. The Committee appointed to prepare an Address to the people of Pennsylvania re ported. - Also, the Committee appointed to pre pare an Address to the people of color, in this state. Several other reports were made (to be continued.) GENERAL NEWS OF THE ►IEEK THE LEGISLATURE. - We observe the flillowing anecdote going the rounds of the papers,—" W hen the House of Commons once sat very long and effected nothing, Queen Elizabeth said to Popham afterwards Lord Chief Justice, "Now, Mr. Speaker. what hath passed in the Commoner .house?" He answered, "[fit please your . majesty, seven weeks!" Now were the people to in quire what the logislature has d; no we know of no better answer that could be given, than to say, Popham-like, "They have spent nine weeks, two of which like school-boys they voted to themselves for a holiday."— York Republican. °snivel:la.—The Philadelphia Ledger (a penny paper) says:—"On the day of the last Presidential election the wife of Mr. Con rad Carpenter, a respectable victualler,resid ing in the District of Spring Garden, gave birth to twin sons. The infants were named Andrew Jackson and Martin Van Buren, and grew in health and loveliness, the pride and joy of their parents, and the admiration of the whole neighborhood. Last Saturday morning they appeared to be as usual in a state of perfect health, and between 8 and 9 o'clock, the mother was nursing the one named after the venerable chief magistrate, when, without any apparent cause, his head fell back, and without a struggle or a groan, the little innocent expired. About three o'clock in the afternoon of the same day, the sorrow stricken mother was nursing her remaining babe, when, like his brother, he too expired, while apparently drawing sus. tenance from the maternal boson]." MISSISSIPPI LEGISLATURE-A. G. Mc- NATI. of Warren county, has been elected President of the Senate, and Cul. Inv AN of Carroll, Spolkor of the House. The Message of Gov. Laren was transmitted on tho third inst. He recommends that the State's portion of the surplus be applied to works of internal improvement. The pre sent pecuniary difficulties of the planters his ascribes rightly to the Treasury Circular. On the 9th inst. the Senate had under con. sideration the Nashville Roil Road bill, and, on motion, it was indefinitely post. paned. LABOR SUSPENDED.A contemporary says that all the china and earthenware estab lishments in England are closed, in conse quence of the extravagant wages demanded by the hands. There are said to be in the House of Rep resentatives of this State (which comprises 100 members,) farmers 48; lawyers 14; merchants 10; cabinet makers 4; physicians 2; gentlemen 2, carpenters 2; batters 2; millwrights 2; printers 2; tanner 1; miller 1; grocer 1; artist 1; blacksmith 1; accountant 1; shoemaker 1; innkeeper 1; engineer 1; surveyor 1; geological surveyor 1; silver )later 1. Of these, 91 were born in Pennsylvania; 3 in New Jersey;.l in Vermont; 1 in Rhode Island; 1 in Ohio; 1 in Virginia; and 1 in Conneetietit. WHlTNEY.—Retiberi M. Whitney,the no torious individual who has an office in the Treasury building at Washington, nominal !y as agent for the pet Banks, has been sub- jected to a most searching operation by the committee of investigation. Mr. Peyton propounded a 4question to him to which he returned an impertinent ai,d insulting an swer.-- Peyton, highly excited, stepping up to Whitney, told him that although he would not notice his cards inthe newspapers, if he would insult him thus publicly ho would kill him on the spot. Whitney was ordered to leave the room, and the committee passed a resolution censuring his impudent answer to the question put by Peyton. This ex amination will produce some singular de• velopments.—Fred. Examzner. PENNSYLVANIA STATE TEMPERANCE SO CIETY.—This society have, during the past year, prieued and put into circulation 215, 000 Temperance Recorders in English, 40,000 in German, 70,000 Temperance Monitors, and 30 ; 000 Temperance Alma nacks. 100,000 of the Recorders, all the Monitors, and not a few of the Almanacks they have circluated gratuitously. They hope the present year to enlarge their ope rations. TarrlLE SITICIDE.-A youth, aged 19, a Camberwell,resolved to make his exit sure •swallowed an ounce ofarsenic,opened a vein and then barged himself—caused by the re jection of his suit to a housemaid! COAL IN MISSIYUR Lou is Com• mercial Bulletin of 2tlth ult. mentions that some samples of Coal, 'lately found in Washlng . on comity, of that State. had been recently analyzed in St. Louis and found to be the compact Anthracite, of the best quality. The editor el•erves, in noticing the discovery, that he has been het etofore I almost a proselyte to the opinion that the great rave of the .% Ilegbany was the west ern frontier of the Anthracite Coal region, and was inclined to adopt the opinion, that the Mississippi Valley contained only the BituminiMS. The discovery here recorded has, however. removed ail doubts MI the soh. jest, and satisfied him that Anthracite Coal, as well as Bituminous, may be found in abundance within the limits of Missouri.— The tact is one of no small importance to the prosperity of that State, taken in connec• t ion with her other mineral resources. NE-Art•mt.co, a distimmished chief and warrior of the Creek nation, died two or three weeks ago near Fort Gibson. Ile was one of the principal hostile chiefs who committed the late massacres in AlabaiDa, and was among the rust pal ty of emigrants who were sent through this State last fall to their new country. A case is to be tried before the Supreme Court of the United States, at the present term,which involves property !tithe amount of $900,000. Mr. Clay is one of the coun sel in the -case. 1111LLEDGEVILLE, G ED. Jan 19. BURNING OF OGLETIIOItI' UzsavErtstry. —About half past nine o'clock this morn• ink;, while we were in school, the Steward's Hall, where we board, took fire, and in less than one hour, the whole building was in ruins; by which about sixty students have been deprived of a home,aud all theirclothes, &c. When we heard the alarm, we rushed out of school, and found the Hall in a blaze. The building was shaped like a T and took fire in the centre, so that it spread both ways; and by the time wo got there, .there was no chance of getting any thing out of our rooms; and so the whole was con• sumed, with the exception of a small part of the furniture, and'a few of the boys' tranks. The public here are all enlisted in our be half, and the houses of this city are thrown open for our reception. All the carpenters and masons of Milledgeville are going up to Midway, to work, to.morrow,so that we will not be obliged to go home. Mr. Stubs, the Steward's loss, is very great—about 41'00 or $5OOO. The building which was owned by the trustees, cost $12,000. Total loss from 20 to $25,000. The institution is one for the education of young men destined for the ministry. Lots in the new town of Houston (the fu ture capital of Texas) had already risen so high, that the agent for the sale of them re fused eighty dollars a lot. There are 6000 of them, and the whole cost only 2 dollars, when the purchase was made. SvcAo.—The New Orleans Standard says that the sugar crops of Louisiana, do not now remunerate the planters; and that on an average,t hey have not realized more than 3 per cent. per annum any year since 1830. In Europe a patent has been taken out for manufacturing whalebone into cloth.— The cloth obtained from this process bears a strong resemblance to silk, and is nar. ticularly adapted for making cravats, waist. coats, ribbons dm. SHOOTING FIVE HUNDRED HALLS A 311N i:7-E.—The Buffalo Journal says, that Mr. Robert M'Carthy, of that place, has inven• ted a gun, which will beat Cochran's all hollow. The writer says he saw the opera lion with balls weighing nearly a pound, and judged it would throw, with perfect ease, from three: to five hundred balls per minute, without the aid of powder or steam. It can be directed to any object at pleasure, and can be graduated from an ounce to a twelve or a thirty pound ball. The whole is a per fectly portable battery, which will protect those operating it from musketry or grape shot. Among the grounds of divorce enumera ted in the law of China, are ill-temper and talkativeness on the part of the wife. According to the Bangor Post; there are merchants in that city who keep two half bushel measures—one to buy, and another to sell with. We have heard it stated that orders have been transmitted from the Navy Department to the proper officer, to ship sixty boys for the United States ship Independence of six ty-four guns, now lying near Boston, and about to sail for the Brazils, under the corn . mond of Commodore John Nicholson. It the like proportion is put on board the other ships, we shall have a thousand or fifteen hundred boys, at once, preparing for the naval service of the country.—U . S. Gaz. "Extraordinary, if True."--Aft Exeter paper says— : -"During the etorm of Tuesday, as a man at Mount Radford was driving home a cow, holding the tail .of the animal n his hand, a tree fell across it, eoinpletely levering the tail trom the body and leaving sit in the man's hand. Both man and cow were unhurt." All persons in Naples, who exhibit fear of the cholera, are threatened by the author ities with the bastinado. The disease rages —total number of deaths is 6000, or 200 per day. New York State Militia.—The militia force of this State amounts to 169,601 men, viz hdrse artillery 1,193; cavalry 7,010; artillery 10,751; infantry II 32,126; artillery, &c. mulched permanently or for inspection to the different brigades of infantry, 2,421. As an evidence of New England industry it is stated that the town of Topsfield, Mass. alone, sent during the last year two hun• tired thousand pair of shoes of various hinds to the South and West. and that two young men who commenced business a few sears ago with a capital of but a few hundreds ul .:ollars, manufactured last year ninety thou. sand pair, and their sales amounted to $.-0,• 000. Editorial Notice.—An I rish Editor down South, says his exchange list is too large and wishes it therefore underst, that "this is to notify all those that don't receive the paper that their exchange is stopped." Senator M'Keati has, we learn, been closely confined to a si,k route since the Ist of January, which accounts for his absence when the vote was talt , n rmon the expung— Ing reBOlW4O7lB of Col. Benton, in the Sen• ate of the United States. I I oR unicH!!—We have received informa- tion from ft credible source that a Mrs. Noflit, will' of Calvin Mollit, at Bethel, in 06,4 County, beat with rods her only a little of five years old, to such a de gree as to cause her death in twelve hours. It appears that the inhuman mother was hoaring the child read, and because she did not pronounce the word decay properly, the rod was resorted to. On a post mortem ex amination ilia whole body was found beaten to a jelly. The more than savage mother is under bonds of one thousand dollars to ap• pear and - answor to the laws for the offence. Vermont Courier. From the Philadelphia Inquirer Oste-Sitted COMMiI lee. We invite attention to the following ex ract ofa letter from a highly respectable aentleman of Johnsto.vn. It discloses a course of conduct on the part of the com• mrttee charged with the investigation ofthe maravve went of the public works, calculated to excite feelings of indignation in the bosom of every republican and friend of justice.— Not satisfied with ciividing themselves into sub•corumittees,for visiting the must remote sections of the State,not satisfied with hunt- ing up all the discontented spirits dismissed by the Commissioners, the Committee have now resorted to the expedient of SITTING with CLOSED doors, to the exclusion of the counsel of the defendants! This is indeed nn extraordinary and unprecedented mode of trying a case in this free and republican country. tithe wiseacres of the Commit tee suppose that the enlightened freemen of this community will sanction any such atro• cious mode of procedure,they will find them selves most egregiously mistaken. Extract of a letter, dated JOHNSTOWN, January Sl, 1837. On reference to the SKY of this place you will learn something of the manner in which the investigation is conducted here. Mr. Hill arrived at Johnstown on Thursday last, and in the absence of the other members of the Committee, immediately procured a Clerk and proceeded to examine witnesses. J. F. Cox, Esq.,had been engaged as Coun sel for the Commissioners, and in company with Mr. Livergood proceeded to the room where Mr. Hill was taking testimoily. Mr. Livergood stated that Mr. Cox . had been employed as Counsel,and would cross examine the witnesses. Mr. C. immedi ately remonstrated with Mr. Hill in relation to the extraordinary and Inquisitorial course oursued—whereupon Mr. H. adjourned un til next morning, and then sent Mr. Liver good, one of the Commissioners, a note, :a forming him that Mr. Cox would not be admitted as Counsel! He then sat with closed doors. About three o'clock, another member of the committee, Mr. Hassan, ar rived, and a second attempt was made to procure the admission of Mr. Cox, in order that the witnesses might be cross-examined, and the truth elicited. This also teas refu sed!—the Committee being unwilling, it seems, to permit the light °rhea ven to shine upon their visages, apprehensive lest Mr. Cox should show up the real character of the witnesses. Comment is unnecessary. But one opinion can he entertained us to the course of the committee. It will elicit the reprobation of every honorable man. The Commissioners have, and very properly in my view, petitioned the Senate to appoint a committee to investigate the whole matter. Thank Heaven the Radicals are not in the ascendancy in all the branches of govern ment. Jour; QUINCY ADAMS.--The Abolition ists have foiind, and continue to find in Mr. ADAMS, a noble champion in the cause of civil freedom. Regardless of the threats and frowns of southern slave holders, and their wicked apologists, he has marched boldly forward, and bids fair to overcome every obstacle which they may throw in his way. That lie is felt us well as heard, no better evidence is required than the writhings of the southern members, Whose favorite weapon—denunciation—falls harm less at his feet. Mr. Adams has always been a favorite with us—his fearless course nod independent sentiments, are a passport to the uffections of every intelligent mind. .Legisiatave Comparison. The Van Buren presses, last year wore unceasing in their assaults andslanders upon the Legislature and its doings. They were accused of- wasting the public time and the people's money in useless investigations, to the neglect of the public interest. Yet the records will show, that no legislature ever before accomplished an equal amount of business in the same time, notwithstanding the great efli)rts made to embarrass and " ob struct their progress. Last year, befbre the first of February, about three hundred pages of laws were made. But how is it nowl— Sl' het are, thus far, the fruits of the Van Burenites? They have riot yet pissed six teen pages of laws, and the most of these have been ,to correct their own blunders!— This is no fiction. We re -assert the fact, and defy contradiction, that the intelligent, enlightened, business doing Van Buren legislature has been in session two months, at an expense of not less than SIXTY THOUSA NI) DOLLARS, and riot enact ed sixteen pages of lam!!! There are a bout ten pages of laws passed, which have cost the state SIXTEEN THOUSAND DOLLARS A PAGE!! This is VAN BUREN REFORM! Or the first fruits of Anti•Bankery and Taxation. If the peo ple desire to know how the legislature are spending their time and the people's money, we can tell them. They are engaged in appointing great committees to investigate abuses, which are sub divided and sent all over the state, to hunt up testimony against the Canal Comniissionds, the Beek, and -any subject that some Ibllow who likes to dance alter n the-wisp gets into his noddle. In this way, one is running here aid another there. The members of the House are scattered at all points in the ca pacities of spies, judges and informers, to gather up the filth and trash that the worth less and Hlyindoned,who have been discharg ed from the public dupl.)) , nmy manufac ture, and brim , it to the common centre to be distilled. Those left here are engaged in devising plans to thwart the wholesome measures of the Executive, fritter away the public money, increase the public debt, and place new burthens of taxation upon the people. There never was a Legislature that ren dered itself so justly censurable as well as ridicultus, as the present. The business that the public expected them to do is total ly neglected, that they May astonish the world with discoveries to Symmes' Hole, and analysis of jack.o.kinterns. The peo ple will not get laws, it is true, but they may get as many dissertations upon such topics from those learned law makers as Don Quixotic gave upon Knight-errantry —and with about as much benefit to them. Some of the getters up ofinvestigations are now gone home to get up dinners for them selves; and we shall not be disappointed if the remainder of the session should also be frittered away in travelling over the Com monwealth idler discoveries. If the people could see and know the acts of the Van Bu ren representatives as they are, they would turn away with shame and confusion. But there is a day of retribution, when "the avenging hour will come." Appointments by the Governor. firmly WITHER, Canal Commisstonor, in place of Joseph Sthith, p; resigned. Joascil SMITH, Prothonotary of the Supreme Cour!, in place of Henry Witmer, Eq. appointed Canal Commissioner. Excellent appointments. Mr. Smith is well known in this community, and as a wor thy citizen and an honest man, without A su perior for business habits and practical com mon sense, is ju tly esteemed. He is admi rably suited to his now position. Mr. Witmer the now eanakcommissioner, is an excellent draftsman, a first rate mineral ogist and geologist, is thoroughly acquainted with the Internal Improvements of Pennsyl vania, and by courtesy of deportment and urbanity of manners, has won. the esteem of all who had occasion to transact business with him, while heofficiuted as Prothonotary of the Supreme Court. His appointment cannot but prove popular.— Phil. lag. From the National Intelligeneer of February 8. UNITED STATES AND MEXICO. In a message to . the two Houses of Con. greys, yesterday, the President of the Unit ed States has, we suppose we ma's say with his constitutional promptitude, recommend. ed a contingent war upon MEXICO! A bel. ligerent purpose is, it is tiue, disclaimed in terms; but for all practical purposes, the is suing of Letters of Reprisal, by one Nation against another, is actually making War, and making war under the disreputable cir cumstance of pretending Peace the while. We cannot say that we are t3urprized at this Message. If we are not taken by sur prise by it, however, we apprehend our mer chants and the American citizens in Mexico will be; for it has certainly come upon us all as unexpectedly as a clap of thunder from a cloudless sky. There was some reason to apprehend violent measures on the part of Mexico towards the United States.because there have been rumors to that effect; but, really, it was not within the reach of any ordinary speculation, alter the professions by this Government of amicable feelings and designs.in regard to MExico, and its late conciliatory course, that the President would so very promptly invoke the action of the war•tnakiog power in the relations be tween the United States and that Govern. meet.

FROM HARRISBURGR. Correspondence of the Cettysburgh Star. ITARRISBURGH, Feb. 9th, 1837. The only exciting topic in the House of Repre sentatives for the last week, has been the difficulty or rather snarl into which the Masonic Van-Bu ren men worked themselves rather hastily on Sa turday last, and from which they cannot extricate themselves in any possible manner whatever. On Friday morning, a Bill incorporating the Harrisburgh mid Sunbury Rail Road company, coming up on third reading, a motion was made by Mr. ENClasu, from the County of Philadel phia, to go into committee of the whole, for the purpose of amending it specifically. The amend ment, which he proposed to insert, and for the do ing of which the Hotise did-resolve itself into com mittee, was a provision to this effect: "That the Bank of tho United States be prohibited from tak ing or subscribing for any portion of the Stock of the said company," •no sooner was this proposi- tion offered than the friends of the Bill, rose en mane, against its insertion. They said that its object was to kill the Act; that it was a blow which would in the end provo ruinous and destructive to the Internal Improvements, and retard most eiTec tualbr the advancement of the State; and that by declaring that capitalists should not be permitted to assist in the construction of the public improve ments of the Commonwealth, either by loaning money to the latter or subscribing for stock when they are undertaken by Companies, the present Legislature would be most oftbctually depriving the public of the means not only of projecting, but of carrying into effect and successful operation, those great works which have been contemplated, as well as of completing others which have been already commenced within this Commonwealth. These admissions then, on their part, brought out the ultra-men, thirgenuine loco-focos, in opposi tion, they declared, that the Dank influence was at work, oven among those who came pledged to go for a repeal of its charter, they said that the course of conduct, pursued by some members, upon this occasion, had proven mostsatisfactorily to their minds, that they were determined to sustain and support that institution. There was a great deal of bitterness of feeling manifested on both sides of the Masonic party in this little family quarrel, to the no small amusement of the minority members, (who took no part) and the spectators in the gal leries. Those who opposed the amendinent, said that as the advocates of the meast.re seemed de tsirous of identifying them with "the Monster," they would pledge themselve s to go for a general )341 whenever it should be introduced, the object of whie4 should be the prohibiting of the Bank of the United States, from purchasing any Stock in any of the Rail Road or other improvement Com panies in the State, After a great deal of debate, the committee rose without adopting the amend ment, and a motion being made to that effect, tho Bill was postponed until Thursday next (to-day) with a view of giving the gentlemen an opportuni ty to introduce an Act which shall be general in its operation. On Saturday morning, after the House had come to order and boron" the Journal was read, up pops eilamuat, F. Hato, tho little pop gun of the great Vgn I . 3 . uren luny, the tin born of Q4OIIIA M. DALLAS, Grand Master of Me Lodge! and whose sentiments alone he reiterates on the floor—and asks permission to make a motion—leave beink given, he then gave notice that on Monday morn ing ho would ask leave to bring in "a Bill prohib iting the Bank of the tlnited States from subscrib ing for Stock in any Rail Road company ace."— This brought out Mr. Horne, and a few other jacobins from the CoUnty, who were envious of the honour and distinction which was thus gained by Same. They said he was a lence-rider," and by the vote given by him the day previous his par tiality for the Bank had been finely exposed. To this he replied, that they were nothing more than the mere tools of others and that the opposition to the Bank, was but a mean by which some of them were elected. It is an old saying and a true one that truth will ultimately come out, and so it was in this case, a great deal more was said than was intended by either of the rival factions and the mi nority thus became possessed of some facts which I have no doubt they will use to advantage hereaf ter. At length by nullifying the rules of the House and ono days previous notice being dispensed with, the Bill was referred to the Judiciary Committee, who report.!d it on Monday morning. The motive which Mr. ItExo, had in pushing this matter, was to get all the honor for himself, and to forestall Mr. E Lisa, who had started in the morning for Phil- adelphia, to confer with some of his constituents upon the subject. When this matter was disposed of and all the fighting was over, the House passed a Bill exempting the property of the Institution for the instruction of the Blind from taxation, am' granting them a donation of $20,000. Monday morning was spent in doing just noth ing at all. In the afternoon the Bill providing for the publication of the colonial records up to the year 1717, was taken up in committee of the whole, and after a number of amendmenth had been offered the committee ruse reported progress and obtained leave to sit again. Tuesday being one of the stated days for the pre sentation of Petitions, of course little of anything else was done. Among a variety of others pre sented were twenty-nineysigned by more than nine hundred citizens praying for the erection of a new Count] out of parts of Dauphin. Northumberland and Schuylkill counties to be called Lykens. A Resolution was then offered by Mr. FORD calling up the Trotting Committie.s appointed in December lust to visit the Penitentiaries of Pitts ' burgh and Philadelphia, to make an immediate re port, this threw the gentlemen composing them into sonic confusion; at length "the hailing sign" being given, it was postponed until Tuesday next. This day the Tariff resolutions were discussed and passed in Senate with some amendments. On Wednesday, the Bill providing for the de , positing of the public money in certain Banks at an interest of five and six per cent, was taken up as it came from the Senate, where amendments had been made to it, these were now concurred in, and a motion was then made and carried to post pone its further consideration. During the after noon session, the Bill prohibiting the U. 8. Bank from purchasing stock &c. was taken up and passed! Before the vote was taken however, there was some debate, chiefly among-Alm jacobins, the vote on the final passage was 57 to 32. In this very act, strange as it may appear, these violators of vested rights, have recognized the yalidity of the charter of the U. S. Bank. When this business was disposed of, the House proceeded to the consideration of the amendments made by Senate to the Tariff resolutions; on this subjert considerable warmth of feeling was exhibi ted by some of the members. When the Preamble which has been inserted by the Senate was under consideration and the Clerk was about to commence reading it,a motion was made to dispense with it, but its reading being called for by Mr. Forte, the Clerk commenced, and after having read about two or three fines, Mr. Horaras again moved to dispense with the perusal of it, which was agreed to, but the Speaker had scarcely decided, before the reading of it was again called for. This gave rise to a manly vindication of the rights of the minority of the House, on the part of some of the members of that portion of the popular branch of the Legislature. The acts of the majority who carry all things by mere physicial force were con sidered and canvassed in no very measured terms; they were ridiculed and shamed to so great a de gree that they were finally obliged to blush at their own want of courtesy and respe,t The Preamble was than suffered to be read without opposition, and the question being put, "will the House now concur in this amendment made by Senate?"— The Yeas were 63 and the Nays 21. The amend ments were therefore not agreed to. The Masonic . Van Buren men were very anxious to postpone these resolutions until the First of March but the Anti-Masons made them walk up to the mark.— Those Tariff resolutions were evidLntly gall and wormwood to these .3lasonic Democrats. This day has been trifled away as usual, nothing worthy of notice has been done. In the afternoon the House proceeded to the consideration of a resolution, fixing the day of the final adjournment on the 18th day of March next; after considerable debate and a number of amendments bud been of fered and rejected, its further consideration was postponed until the first day of next month. This is always a popularity trap and was evidently in tended for such at this time.

About two years ago I was severely afflicted with the dyspepsia,which I had for the last fifteen years, previous to the above named time, which was very much increased by my having a blood vessel ruptured upon my lungs,occastoned by lift. ing—which increased my complaint, dyspepsia and general weakness and dobihty to such a de. gree, that for two years previous to my using the Garlegant Balsam, I never eat a meal but my stomach became so painful that I had immediate. ly to throw it up. Seeing Garlegant's Balsam of Health advertised, I was induced to try a bottle; after taking the very first dose it appeared to strengthen my stomach; and every dose of the first bottle helped me so much, that in the course of a few days my stomach began to retain and di. gest every thing eat. I continued to use the Balsam until I used seven bottles, which cured me entirely, and restored me to perfect health, which I have enjoyed ever since, and not before for fifteen years. I cheerfully recommend it to all persons who aro afflicted with dyspepsia or de. bility of stomach. Given under my hand this 11th day ofJanuury, 1834. HENRY LOUTH 4N, Frodorick county, Va.

Important Intivravement, in Swing-seated. salmi:Est T HE Subscriber respectfully informs the Public generally, that he has purchas ed the Patent Right fur making and vending Spring-Sealed Saddles of the Zig Zaer or IF' spring in the Seat, And also a Spring attached to the Girth or Girths and to the tree. The saddle is made with or without a Pommel, just as persons may fancy. Saddles made upon this plan are incom parably superior to any heretofore in use, in point of strength,':,durability and elastici ty, to the horse and rider. The application of the spring to the girth is productive o ease and comfort to the horse, and protects him from injuries arising from violent or sudden exortioop. The Spring is also ap plicable to LADIES' SADDLES. Krlt is deemed unnecessary to state anv thing more. The public are Invited to cull and judge for themselves. tcr. The Subscriber returns his sincere thanks to his Customers and the Public in general, for the very liberal support extend ed to him, and would respectfully inform them that he has at all times A LARGE AND GENERAL ASSORTMENT OF Saddles, Bridles, Martin gals, AND ALL KINDS OF Carriage, Wag on and Cart 11.1111ESS At his Old Stand in South Baltimore Street, Gottysburgh.

December 26,1836. tt-39 Look Here! ►rHE subscriber wishes to inform his pat. rons, and'others who may wish to pat ronize him in future, that he has recently purchased Mr. Callihan's Patent Right for the use of his valuable improvement in mak ing Spring-seat SADDLES 4 Notwithstanding the prejudices against these Saddles heretofore, he feels justifiable in saying, that he hopes to gain the confi dence and patronage of the public—as he is enabled, on the present principle, to ensure all his saddles without any extra charge.— That a soft, easy saddle is desirable to all persons who ride much, and particularly to those who may not be favored with a very pleasant horse; I presume all persons will unhesitatingly patronize the spring saddles, when they will be ensured as long as the . purchaser may deem necessary. The elasticity of the Saddle acting in har mony with the symetry of the horse and rider, not only affords ease to the man, but incalculable advantage to the horse. All persons of judgment and experience must know, that a dead, unelastic weight on a hors is oppressive. The Spring in the Girth affords the following advantages: Ist Moving or yielding with the horse's cheat in breathing, no cramps or cholics or any dis ease can rise therefrom. 2d. The girth will outlast two or three of the common kind, because the yielding ef the spring on the sud den expansion of the chest prevents the girth from breaking, and saves the rider from fall ing; many falls have , heed the fruits of break ing girths. GENTLEMEN and LADIES are invi ted to apply, as the little difference in the cost of these and the bard Saddles is so tn. Ring, and incomparable with the difference in comfort and safety. N. B. Saddlers in the country can be accommodated with Township or Shop' Rights at a trifling cost. IrrThe subscriber returns his thanks to the public for the very liberal support exten ded to him, and would respectfully state that he has at all times t;* A LARGE AND GENERAL ASSORTMENT OF Saddles, Bridles, Alartingals, Saddle-Bags, Portmanteaus and Trunks; Carriage, Wagon and Cart HARNESS, with every other article in his line of busi ness. !CPA!' kinds of MARKETING taken exchange for work at fair prices.
