OPINIONS Of the late Chi4f Justice of the United States, .10114 V .11ARSIIALL, concerning Free-Ma sonry. It was accidentally discovered,that n gen tleman in Norfolk Gruffly, Mass., had a C 3• py fa latter from the late Chief Justice of the United States to the lion. Edward Ev erett, on the subject of Freemasonry. Ile• ing requested he furnished the one which follows, accompanying it, in his letter to the applicant, with these very appropriate tetnarks. OcronEn 21st, 1840 Dear Sir:—Annexed is a copy of Judge Marshall's letter to 51r. Edward Everett, while, if my memory serves me, Govern or of this Commonwealth, the date of it, however, will show. The judge, although pointedly averse to having his letter appear or even to be alluded to in the papers, yet ho indirectly counsels Mr. Everett as a public man, to an expression of his opinion in a decent, manly, frank and firm manner; from which the judge seems fully apprized of the malignant character of the institution towards its backsliding members. Judge Marshall urges his ralvancsd age and his wish for rep.tse, as reasons why he would not engage in "any tempestuous sea;" but his ago and also his respectability seem to be substantial• reasons, why they should be made use of to destroy an institution preg nant with so much evil. as to commit mur• dor; arid so much strength as to conceal and protect the murderer! But the' Judge has now .obtained the repose of the grave, and though dead, may his letter speak, may it be printed ; and-speak to- generations yel imbern, should hereafter an effhrt be made to revive the base, the murderous • and de testible institution. Yours, &c. THE LETTER. 121cumoNn, July 22d, 1833 . Dear have received your favor of the 16th, enclosing a printed copy of your letter respecting Masonry to. Mr. At well, accompanied by printed copies of let ters front Gen. Washington and Mr. Mad ison on the same subject. Soon after entering the army,l was made a Mason- In addition to the motives, winch usually actuate young men, I was induced to become a candidate for admission into -the society,by the assurance that the broth erly love, which pervaded it and the duties imposed on its members, might be of great service to and in the vicissitudes of fortune to which a soldier was exposed. Alter the army was disbanded, I found the order to high estimation, and evely gentleman I .saw in this porter Virginia was a member. I followed the crowd' for a time without . at- Inching any importance to its object, or giving my s elf the trouble to inquire why others did. It soon lost its attraction, and though there are several Lodges in the city of Richmond, I have not been in one of them for more than forty years, except once, on an invitation to accompany Gener al La Fayette, nor hovel been a member of one of them for more than thirty. It was impossible not to perceive the useless pageantry of the whole exhibition. My friend Mr. Story, has communicated my opinibns to you truly. I thought it, how ever, a harmless plaything, which would live its hour and pass away, until the mur der or abstraction of Morgan was brought before the public;--that atrocious crime, and 1 had almost said, the still more atroei ous'suppression of the testimony , concern ing it, demonstrated the abuse, of which the oaths prescribe by the order were:Suscepti ble, and convinced me that the institution ought to be abandoned. as one capable of producing much evil, and incapable of pro ducing any good, which might not be effec ted by safe and open means. I give you my sentiments without reserve, but in con fidence. 1 have attained an age when re pose becomes a primary wisb. 1 am un willing to embark, on any tempestuous sea or to engage as a volunteer in any contro versy, which may tend to excite the angry passions. lam unwilling to appear in the papers on any question, especially if it may produce excitement. 'rho Antimasonic controversy has not crossed the Potomac. With you it has be come a party question, which a public man cannot escape, and on which a decent, man ly opinion must be firmly and frankly ex, preised. But lam not a public man; and if I were, many and extravagant are the tests by which we try the fitness of agents for the service of our country. This has not as yet become one of them. Several of my personal friends are Masons; some few of them more zealous than myself.— You will therefore pardon the unwillingness I express, that any allusion to this letter should be made in the papers. Receive the . assurances of the great and respectful es• teem, with which I remain, Your obedient, • J. MARSHALL. FLORIDA.—A letter has been received at Pilatka from Colonel Loomis, dated at Fort Clinch, slitting that tihrty-three Indi ans had come in at that poet. notltt. TAIL had also come in and wag going to Tampa.. It is thought that in all about six hundred Indians have presented themselves at various posts along the coast on the Gulfside. A . party of the enemy lately attacked Fort Welker, killing two or three negroes nod wounding one white woman. Fort Walker to between Alicanopeoand Newnrinaville. The National Intellignncer states that the Senate of the United States have been summoned by the Executive to meet in ►hat city on the 4th of March next, for the trans. fiction of business (being of course, of an Executive character, connected with the comninneement of a new Administration, the forination ofe new Cabinet,dx. ) Tun Emmons jolty DVCIIAROEI).

OiirnAes oN Trtg - CAnoLINE.--The . niversary meeting of the citizens of Buff►lo. to commemorate and - .act.upon , the moans of redress for the outrage of the -burnink of the American steamer Caroline, was held on the 29th nit., and.a number of spirited resolutions passed. The two following are among the number:— Resolved,- That we will commemorate this day henceforth, as a gross violation of the laws of neutrality existing between the American government and Great Britain, until the blood of the murdered Durfee and his fellow citizens be atoned for. Resolved, That this meeting consider the burning of the steamboat Caroline in Amer can waters, as a national instill of the high. est degree, and which calls loudly for a na tional interference.' SMALL NOTEM MARYLAND.-A bill has passed the Legivlature of Maryland, and become a law, authorising the Banks of that State to issue and receive the small notes of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company. INTERESTING PROXI WASEINGTON. —An Extra Session —The 'Spy in Washington' writes under date or the 24th. Gem Harrison oncoming into power will find an empty.treasury; a debt of !,.11:1 mil lions of dollars; suffering public creditors; a revenue not equal to the demand for the daily expenditures of : the government, and no ways and means pAided for tho relief of the country, or those. who have equitable claims upon it. The Whigs in Congress, for-!seine weeks past, have frequently In their social intercourse, expressed their ap prehensions that the Government would be disgraced, if the policy of the dominant par ty was permitted to control the destiny of the nation for three months after they reti red from power. So frequent, of late, have these expressions of alarm become, that some of the most experienced statesmen in the Whig party, suggested an informal communication on the subject. In pursuance of this suggestion I hoar, that an informal meeting of the Whig Sen ators was held last evening. All in the city, whose health permitted, were present.— The situation of the Treasury, and the do. mends 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 Government would be disgraced. This, I understand, was the very general impression of those in attendance. I now consider it reduced to a positive certainty, that an Extra Session of Con gress will be held, and that probably at an early day. Such Legislatures as may be in session, and which cannot by law, elect their members of Congress before May, should forthwith provide for the contingen cy. Virginia has yet a Senator to choose. The loco locos, it is supposed by some, will defeat an election, if they can. Such a movement would be consistent with the creed of the destructives. MURDER AT TIMMANNOCK.—We learn from a letter received in town, that a mur der was committed on Friday last, under the horrid effects of intoxication. A man named George Baker, while drunk in the streets was annoyed by the boys who threw snow balls; he became enraged, and at this moment a Mr. William Lucky came out of his shop, on his way to tea, and Ba ker supposing that he was one of the gang which had insulted him, and stepping up to him took him by the collar, drew a dirk knife and plungedit intoshis back; the next blow in his breast, and the third cut his ab domen completely, 9pen, so that his' entrails nearly all came out. He lived but a few hours.— Han. T elegraph. , FIRE A 1 ,11110.59 OF LIFE.-A destructive fire broke out in Philadelphia, a little after ono o'clock, on Saturday morning, in the extensive Umbrella factory of Wright and Brothers, No. 125, Market Street, above Third. The whole building with its con tents were destroyed. The loss by fire and water is thought to exceed $lOO,OOO. The fancy store of Wilmer arid Brothers, No. 123, was considerably injured. The dry goods store of Wood & Abbott, No. 127, suffered severely. The loss in this establishment is estimated at $30,000 which is fully covered by insurance. Wright & Brothers were not so fortunate. Their stock was not insured to half its amount. But the most melancholy part of the transaction remains to be told. At half past two, the rear walls of Wright's store fell, burying in its ruins several persons.— Mark S. Rink, Oscar Douglas, and a young man named Redman were instantly killed. David Orrick, Secretary of the Delaware engine, was so badly hurt that it is believed he cannot survive. Possibly, there are still more killed whose bodies have not yet been found. DEFALCATION.—The Ohio State Journal says that the annual report of the Auditor discloses the astounding fact, that the col lectors of toll upon the Ohio State Canals, at Newark Massillon, Dayton and Chilli. cothe, are in default to the State for mon. eys received by them in the aggregate sum of $41,560 72. FASHIONS AT WASIIINGTON.—A lady correspondent of the Cincinnati Chronicle, writes as follows, concerning-the fashions at Washington for the present season. "Great attention is given by the fashion ables to the article of dress. Velvets are much in vogue; the prevailing colors being blue; black and crimson. Cloth walking dresses are also fashionable, though but little walking is done were carriagee are so abun dant. The great novelty of the season is the introduction of very small, plain, flat gilt buttons on dresses. They were nt first confined to the cull's, but lately, nearly every dress has three tows ' on the front of the body also. De Laing are growing out of use; as the buttons make no contrast on fan. cy goods. They look to the hart advantage on bluo•black velvota for in door dresses, and on blue cloth for walking or carriage habits. Tho most admired morning dres- Fes aro made. of velvet, very full in the skirts, tight sleeves, with embroidered cuffs, twelve buttons on each cuff; twelve in the centre row on front; and eighteen on each of the outer rows—the latter gracefully curv ing to the shape. These dresses are ex tremely beatit,lul, and as the rage for gilt buttons is every day increasing, they will no doubt continua long in use; for nothing can be prettier for dress ornaments." It appears that the number of members belonging to the Wesleyan body of Metho dists are now as follows. Under the cafe of the British and Irish Conferences 428,- 729—namely in Great Britain, 323,178; In Ireland, .24,047; in foreign stations, 78,- 504; under the care of the American Con ferences in 1829, the date oft he lest returns, 629,341; total number of members, 1,137,- 424. The number of preachers, regular and supernumerary, was in Great Britain 1,078: in Ireland (including 25 missiona ries) 315; in Upper Canada 127; in the American connexion, 3,322; total number of ministers, 5,031. Grand total of meni bers and ministers throughout the world, 1,142,465. CAUTION AGAINST DRINBINO.—A gen tleman* of Philadelphia visited the Arch street Theatre on Monday evening, says the National - Gazette, and carried with him a pocket book containing $1025. While in the Theatre, he began drinking with some strangers, and not having change enough, pulled out his pocket liook, and in the act of taking a note from it exposed its contents. Ho put it back into his side pocket ander his aria, and in a short time alter discovered that it .was gone. LIABILITY OF TENANTEL—Horetotore we have understood it to be good law that a tenant occupying premises that were de. stroyed by fire remained liable for the rent until the expiration of his term; but in tiw Marine Court on Monday, Justice Randall charged the jury that by recent decisions this doctrine had been overruled, and that the ouster of the tenant by fire exonerated him from the payment of rent from the data thereof. if this is true law the people ought to know it.—N. Y. Coln. side. VERY GENEROUS —A tow days since a young man in Hartford, Conn. found a pocket book, containing 8150, besides pa pers of value, and on restoring it to the own er, the latter offered him ten cents --as a re ward for his honesty and trouble. To the infinite credit of the youth, he did not take advantage of the gentleman's liberality,and declined the munificent token. A 3var MEASURE. —Mr. Eyre, of Dela ware, reported a bill in the House yesterday to secure to mechanics, laborers, Sic. their wages in case of the insolvency of their em ployers. This is a most humane and righ teous measure, and one that will meet the views of the peoplo of every part of the Commonwealth. Such claims should take precedence of all others, and wo hope to, and wo believe we shall, see the bill pass into a law before this session of the Legisla ture closes.—Har. Chron. The Nattional intolligencer says—"A mong the arrivals in this city is a Chinese Boodhist, from Canton, accompanied by Doctor Parker, who has been for some years a resident at that place. Hia name is Crax-Lora, and he bears the title of Tuch•shoo•yin, or student of letters. He was yesterday presented to the President, and, among other questions, ho asked, in the figurative language of the East, "how long His Excellency had been the secu• rity of the people," meaning how long bad he been President. Chin Lung is a native of Pekin. He is about twenty-one years of age, and in reli gion, he is a boodhist. BALTIMORE, Jan. 20, 1841. Frank/in Bank.—There is a good deal of talk in this city in regard to the large defalcations of Mr. S. L. Hawkins, the for mer cashier of the Franklin Bank. He was cashier of the bank, for more than twenty years, and managed to abstract more than $lOO,OOO of its funds. Tho de falcation in all its extent and enormity, was not ascertained, till the books wore thor oughly examined on the 31st ult., prepara tory to making the annual statement, on the 4th inst. The discovery, togethet with the demand of the Mechanics bank, on the Ist inst., determined the Directors to wind up the bank. The effect of the develop monts,as may well be supposed caused great affliction among Mr. Hawkins' friends and family, and so disastrous was it to the health of his wife; that on hearing the cause on Thursday last for the first time, she lay down in her bed, and was taken from there a corpse on Sunday night. Destructive Tornado in Mexico-500 Houses Destroyed.—A tornado was experi enced on the Pacific coast of Mexico early in November, which is represented to have been nearly as violent as that which visited Natchez, and to have been far more exten sive. They had already learned of its ravages for a length of 70 or 80 miles, by 12 to 15 miles in width, prostrating almost every thing in .its course. At Acapulco, more than 200 houses are said to have been blown down; while at Cayuco the number de.stroyed is stated at 350. Consternation and distress were universal among the sur viving inhabitants. EGGS OF TUE COD FD311.--11 is estimated that the female carries in her ovary more than 9,000,000 of eggs. No wonde•, there- fore, that 20,000 fishermen do not cause this fish to disappear from the deep. THE LARD LAMP —Tho secret recently invented in Mishimin to burn lard, consists, it is said, in using a copper tube to conduct the wick. The copper conducts heat (=ugh to keep the lard always iu a liquid state.

ANTI-MASONS ! bear in mind the County Meeting to be held in this place on Saturday the I3th inst. Fuil nut to attend. alletaneholv _Evidence of lEx eel:rive depravity, and of the danger of the destruc tion of our free institu tions. Our readers aro aware that, for years past, the Loeofocos have been in tho habit of defending their own principles and policy, by assailing, with the most atrocious libels, the conduct and charge tars of a few of the most prominent and influential of their opponents. Instead of opposing argument by argument they have showered falsehood and calumny upon their most dangerous adversaries. Among those who for these reasons seemed to merit their attack and be the especial mark for their envenomed arrows, none has been more con spicuous than our fellow townsman, Thaddeus Stevens, Esq. Their official organs from Wash . - ington to Boston—from Philadelphia to Harris. burg—from tho Globe to the Keystone and Magi cian have occupied as much of their time and columns in inventing and disseminating the most • groundless and flagitious charges against him, as if h i s destruction would he the downfall of the cause which he supported. , Among the vilest instruments of the libellers, the papers called the °lron Gray" and its succes sor, the °Magician" had acquired an infamous notoriety. During the last political campaign, the Editors of the Magacian, Hotter & Cantine, published several of the most infamous charges against Mr.' Stevens, which human wickedness could invent. Although that gentleman has gen erally made it a rule to disregard the calumny of his enemies, yet ho deemed one of those publica tions, which charged him with blasphemy, and mocking the most sacred ordinances of religion, too injurious to pass without punishment. Ho accordingly instituted a prosecution, and had the ' defendants recognized to appear at Court. In their next paper they reiterated their charges and ' declared themselves ready to prove their truth:— They evaded trial until last week, when tho in. dictmont being called for trial they appeared, and pleaded the Governor's pardon, before trial, not only for that offence but for all libels published through the columns of the Magician in Adams county or elsewhere! Tho whole community wore shocked! They felt that justice was outra ged. That the law was made to restrain only the Governor's enemies, but that it was powerless against his friendly bandits. Who is safe! None but those who will consent to bow their necks to this infamous Chief Magistrate! How can honest and high-minded men preserve their characters! Hired villains have the Executive license, and the Executive command to destroy thorn. But wo give the proceedings and must reserve out comments until next week. Commonwealth In Sessions of Adams rs.

PORTER, Governor of .1. :7. 4 . / Is t the said Commonwealth, To all whom these presents shal I kk come SENDS GREETING WU [MUG, on the fifteenth day of August Anuo Domini, ono thousand eight hundred and forty, Thaddeus Stevens of the Borough of Gettysburg, in the County of Adams, Commonwealth afore said, personally appeared before William W. Pax ton Eaq. one of the Justices of the Peace in end for said County, and on his solemn oath did de pose and sai, that he has reason to believe, and does believe that Edwin W. Nutter and John J. C. Cantina, editors and publishers of a newspa per, culled the Magician, printed at Harrisburg, Pa. have been guilty of publishing a false and scandalous libel on the said Thaddeus Stevens, and the members of the Harrison and Tippecanoe Club of Gettysburg, as contained in a Magician of the date of August Bth, 1840, as appears in the outside of said paper, and of date of 10th August 1840, as appears from the inside thereof, in an ar ticle headed "Horrid Illaspheiny,"in which among other things is the following: „ We have howev er, a parallel case to record nearer home, which fully equals the above in atrocity, and reflects the influence of the hard cider mania most beautifully. We are informed upon the authority of gentle men whose integrity is far above impeachment from any mourn° whatever, that in the town of Gettysburg, Adams county, Pa. the federalists have resolved themselves into a sort of club or junto for the promotion of Harrison's election.— The members of this club hold what they profane ly term weekly prayer meetings, in imitation of these sacred and beneficial assonablages in vogue among the Methodist, Presbyterian, Lutheran and other churches. These meetings are held every Thursday evening in a tavern. The officiating high priest is no less a personage than Mr. Thad deus Stevens, of whose fitness for seducing men (and women too) into the path in which he in.. tends that they should go, the records of the Court of Adams county furnish ample and conclusive taviiiiinny. He invariably opens tho services by ascending a platform, intended to represent a pul pit, f ro m which he announces a hymn from one of the numerous Tippecanoe song books, 64i." The said Thaddeus Stevens further saint that he has reason to believe, and does believe, that the said libel trim puldishod by said defendants in Moms county, Zee." And utlereas, rubseiocntl?, to wit, on the seventeeth day of August, Anne Dom ini, one thousand eight hundred and forty, on the warrant of the geld William W. Pax ton, directed to George G. Myers, constable of the said borough of Gettysburg, aforesaid, the said Edwin W. Rut ter arid John J. C. Cardillo were arrested, and severally bound in recognizance before John.Da vire, one of the Justices of the Peace in and fur the County of Dauphin, in the sum of one thou sand dollars each, with two sufficient sureties in the sum of five hundred dollars each, conditioned that they be and appear before the Judges of the Court of Quarter Sessions of the Peace at a Court ' of Quarter Sessions to bo holders in the said borough of Gettysburg, on the next succeeding twenty-fourth day of August, to answer said charge, and further to be dealt with according to law. And whereas, subsequently to wit, at the August sessions of the court aforesaid, the grand inquest of Pennsylvania, inquiring in and for the said county of Adams, upon their oaths and affir mations respectfully did present °that (the said) Edwin %V. Hiftter and John J. C. Cantino, late of the County aforesaid Printers, wickedly, ma liciously, and unlawfully minding, contriving, ) and intending as much as in them lay to injure, I oppress, aggrieve and vilify a certain Thaddeus Stevens, a good, peaceable and worthy citizen of I said commonwealth, and to bring him into great contempt, ridicule and disgrace, with force and arms &c., on the twelfth day of August, one thou sand eight hundred and forty, at the county of Adams aforesaid, and within the jurisdiction of said court, of their great hatred, malice, and ill will towards the said Thaddeus Stevens, unlaw. fully and maliciously did publish and cause to bo published in a certain newspaper called tho Magi cian, (of which said newspaper they the said Ed win W. Huller and John J. C. Cantino are the editors, proprietors and publiehers) a certain false, scandalous, malicious, arid defamatory libel of and concerning the said Thaddeus Stevens according to the tenor and effect following, to wit: "Horrid Blasphemy!" "They whom the Gods destroy they first make mad!" "From every quar ter of the country, the ear of the philanthropic and virtuous citizen is shocked by the pernicious and soul damning results of tha evil practices of modern whiggery. By raising aloft the detestable bannir of intemperance, and dealing out "liquid fire and distilled damnation" to the multitude, as a means of awakening in their breasts, what is mockingly termed "enthusiam," but which strip. pad of its imagery, means nothing more nor less than to create a certain quantity of artificial "steam," our federal opponents have unloosed up on the community a flood of iniquity and demoral ization worse than that which In days of yore subjected 'Sodom and Gomorrah to the righteous visitations of an incensed Ruler! The newspapers of our densely populated cities teem with painful accounts of the destructive consequences resulting to the cause of virtue and humanity, by tiro riot ous debauchery fostered and encouraged at the carousals of the party which once arrogated to it self "till the decency," and "all the religion"! In the city of New York, they have permanently established several of their sham cabins, which instead of being furnished by the republican, un ostentatious, and lawful effects usually found in the real "log cabins," are each supplied with a pair of mahogany card tables, and with a bar, from which gin and brandy, rum and whiskey, wino and spirits, are dealt out by the gill and hall gill, under the name of " hard cider"!! 'The inev itable consequence is, that these places have be come dens of iniquity, a sort of rendezvous for the idle and dissipated; vice and iniquity stalk abroad at noun-day; police officers have their hands full of business, and the criminal calendar exhibits a fearful increase. This disgusting and I humiliating spectacle is however not confined to the city of Gotham,but is also painfully manifest in other cities of the Union. From our cities tho contagion of these practices naturally spread itself into the country,and hence it is that the smaller towns have also furnished some extremely degrading examples of their corrupting influence. "Wino in, wit out," is a saying not less true than pithy. When men guzzle too co• pious a quantity of intoxicating liquor, be it called "hard cider" or by a softer appellation, the poet of nature tells us they "put an enemy into their mouths to steal away their brains." Hence it is, that the federalists have recently been known to commit outrages unworthy a civilized and aria lien community, and which must have been an abomination in the sight of God and man. Note, by way of example, their impious desecration of the solemn rites of holy communion at ono of . their beastly carousals in the town of New Hol land, Pickaway county, (Ohio) where they insti tuted a mock sacrament in honor of Old 'Tip, at which "anxious seats" were provided for the "penitent," and then, whilst a portion sang ono of their beautiful hard cider songs, others adminis tered the so-called "converts" five grains of parch ed corn, and a mouthful of hard cider, saying "take this in remembrance of Old Tip." This disgraceful transaction, which should cause the crimson blush of shame to mantle the cheek o every honest federalist in ti.o land, has been pub licly attested by some of the most respectable citi zens of Ohio, who were eye witnesses to the whole scene, and has we believe never been deni ell by the fedeptliata!! We have however a par elle! caso to record near home, which fully equals the above in atrocity, and reflects the influence of the °hard cider" mania moat faithfully. We are informed upon the authority of gentlemen whose integrity is far above impeachment from any source whatever, that in the town of Gettysburg, Adams county, Pa. the federalists have resolved hcmeelves into a sort of club or junto, for the promotion of Harrison's election of this club hold what thoy profanely term weekly prayer meetings"!!! in imitation of those sacred and beneficial assemblages in vogue among the Methodist, Presbyterian, Lutheran, and other churches. These meetings aro held every Thurs. day evening in a tavern. The officiating high priest is no less a personag,o than Mr. Thaddeus Stevens, of whose fitness for the task of seducing mon (and women too,) into the path in which ho intends they should go, the records of Adams county furnish ample and conclusive testimony. He invariably opens the ' , serviced' by ascending a platform, intended to represent • pulpit. from which ho announces a "hymn" from one of the numerous Tippecanoe song books (probably that printed by the Intalligencer,) naming the page where it is to be found, and whether it be set to ..long" or "short metre." It is sung, and is fol lowed by the aspirations of all assembled, not for the overthrow of sin, but for the overthrow of the Democratic party, and tho success of Federalism. A sermon is preached, the text selected either from ..Alorgan's Revelations," or some of the , ithousand awl ono" lives of Harrison. Refresh- mews are introduced, not howeyet ID the 'have of lemonade or rope other Goofing Leverage. hut in the shape of gm and brandy (labelled "hard cider,") and the din of revelry and the shouts of Harrison "enthusiasm" conclude the "exercises of the` evening"!!! To the great damage, scandal, infamy, and disgrace of tho said Thaddeus Ste vens; in contempt of law, to tho evil and perni cious example of all others in like case offending, and against the peace and dignity of the common wealth of Pennsylvania." And whereas, at said August Sessions of the same court, the said prosecution was continued, and said defendants were severally recognized with three sufficient sureties in the sum of ono thousand dollars each, conditioned for the appearance of said defendants at the next Court of Quarter Ses sions to be holden in and for said county of Adams, to answer said charge, and not depart without leave, &c.: And whereas, subseqtiently, to wit, at the November Sessions of the court aforesaid, the bill of indictment thus returned as aforesaid, upon motion of defendant's counsel, was quashed by said court, and said defendants were again sev erally recognized with two sufficient sureties, in the sum of ono thousand dollars each, conditioned for their appearance at the next Court of Quarter Sessions to be holden in and for said county of Adams, on the 2511.1 day of January, A. D., 1841, to answer the charge aforesaid, and not . depart without leave:— Now, know all men, to whom these presents shall come, that I, David IL Porter, Governor of the said Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, believ: ing that the freedom of the press ranks among the most invaluable safeguards of our republican in stitutions, and that however much Its licentious ness is to be deplored, all efforts for the improper restraint of its independence, springing from pri vate malice, should be discountenanced and con- demned, do therefore, in pursuance of the authori ty vested in me by the Constitution of said Com monwealth, hereby Pardon tho said Edwin W. Hutter and John J. C. Camino, the defendants above named severally —and do also fully and un• conditionally pardon and remit the offence alleged t o have been committed by them, or either of them, in the oath and indictment aforesaid, and for which said prosecution has been instituted, and also all other matters published, or alleged to have been published by the said Edwin W. 'flitter and John J. C. Cantinc, or either of them, through the co lumns of the said Magician, in the county of A dams, or elsewhere, alleged to have been libellous, to answer which they may ha held in recognizance as aforesaid, and the said alleged offences are here by accordingly pardoned and remitted. Given under my hand and the Great Seal of State, at Harrisburg, this 23d day of Janua ry, in the year of our Lord, 1841, and of tho Commonwealth the sixty-fifth. . - By the Governor, FRS. R. SHUNIC, Secretary Commonwealth. By reason of which.said.rartion, tho said Ed. win W. Hinter and John J;b. Cantina pray that by the Court hero they may ho dismissed and dis• charged from the said premises in the said indict ment specified. EDWIN W. BUTTER. JOHN J. C. CAN FINE. To the above plea, the Commonwealth replied as follows: Commonwealth Adams County ss. Flutter & Confine. In answer to tho dofen !• ants' plea by them pleaded, the Commonwealth replies—that she ought not to bo barred from the said indictment against the said Rutter and Can. tino by reason of any thing in the plea pleaded:— For, that the said David R. Porter has no power to remit and pardon the offence therein charged— because the said David R. Porter, together with the said Hutter and Cantina, and Benj. Parke and 0. Barrett, and certain other . persons, are the real ownersi and publishers of the paper called the Ma gician, and were interested in the publication of the libels charged therein—and thus the said Da vid R. Porter is interested in the result of said prosecution; all which facts the said Common. wealth avers she is able and ready to prove; the said Commonwealth alleging that the said-Porter is not, by the Constitution, able to pardon and re mit his own crimes and misdemeanors, or those for which ho is responsible, prays judgment, that she may not be barred of said prosecution, &c. To the Commonwealth's Replication defendants demurred as follows: Commonwealth vs. The defendants say—that Hutter & Confine. the Replication of the Com monwealth to the plea pleaded by the defendants asset forth, and the matters therein contained, aro not sufficient in law, if true, to prevent the defen dants from the benefit and advantages of the plea pleaded by them to the indictment—and that the defendants arc not bound to answer the same. Upon consideration tho Court adjudged that David R. Porter had the right to pardon and remit the offence—and defendants were ordered to be discharged. The County paying the costs. (0 -JOHN STROHM, the Whig and Penrose candidate for Governor, seems to be making but poor head-way. In the Dauphin county delega tion, where his friends claimed to have some strength, he had not a single delegate in his favor. We doubt whether he can raise a single one in the State Convention, so utterly is he despised. May such ho the fate of all traitors! Having lost all hopes of being Governor, he is now trying to be canal commissioner; end if the Bill now before the Legislature, drafted by himself, should pass, he would probably be elected by the rye-bald Senate, which is the rottenest piece of human ar chitecture ever thrown together. It is far butter to leave the appointment with Porter than to put It into such hands. The people wish to elect the Canal Commissioners or leave the law as it is. fho members Extract of a letter from a member of Congress to the Editor of the Baltimore Patriot, writing under date of Thursday last: "Gen. Harrison is believed to have made up his mind as to part of his Cabinet. Mr. Webster is to be Secretary of State; Mr- Bell, Secretary of War; and Mr. Critten den, Attorney General. Thus far, I think, there is no doubt. Who ard to fill the oth er Departments, ie still a question of some uncertainty. The best instructed public opinion, es understand it, seems to have fixed upon Mr. Ewing as Secretary of the Treasury, and Mr. Stevens as Post Master General. Mr. Stonly is now talked of for Secretary of the Navy."

The Cabinet. FROM HARRISBURG. Correspondence of the Gettysburg Star r.tl Banner HAnnlnnunn, Jan. 28, 1841. Dear Sire—The whole of (hie day was spent in the House in unprofitable action and discussion. The bill of Mr. Wright, postponed on yesterday. came up in order this morning on second reading, when an amendment was offered for the appoint. ment by the governor, in each county, an Inspec tor of Color, so that the act to prevent the inter marriage of black and white parsons might morel effectually be carried into operation. After this amendment was disposed of, another was offered, providing for the appointment of Rich'd M. John son, Arthur Tappan and Fanny Wright to the office of Inspectors General of Color. The yeas and nays were immediately called on the latter a. mendment, when the mover of the amendment rose for the purpose of withdrawing it. The Spea ker however decided, that tho mover could not withdraw his amendment. inasmuch as the yeas and nays had been called. From this decision of the Speaker, an appeal was taken by Mr. Coy; the latter contending, that so long as there was no do cision of the House upon the amendment, the mo ver could either modify or withdraw it. Tho same view was taken of the matter by Messrs. Middles worth, Dorsie, Hinchman, Pennirnan and others, whilst Messrs. Brodhead, of North., Flenniken; and others contended that it could net. After spending about two hours in discussing the point of order, it was discovered that the amendment had not been seconded, and that according to rule, which requires that every motion must be second ed, the whole matter consequently fell, and the appeal was withdrawn. Thus ended one of the most novel scones I have ever witnessed in a to gislative body The bill of Mr. Wright then passed on second reading, and was ordered to be transcribed for a third reading. It wall pass the House, but in the Senate. I trust it tt ill , as it dtservea, sleep the sleep of death. It is one of the most absurd, uncalled for and ridiculous bills ever introduced into the halls of legislation. It is a direct stigma upon the intelligeirice, morality, and decency of the good people of this Commonwealth. HARRISBURG. Jan. 29, 1841. Dear Sir:—Tho bill to prevent the intermar. Hoge of white and black persons and mulattos passed the House to day on third reading, by a very decided majority. The House then took up on socekd ) reading the bill relating to Canal Commissionerd, en amend. mont was offered to the first section by Mr. Wash abaugh, so as to prohibit the election or appoint. moot of any member of the legislature to the of. fico of Canal Commissioner, during tho term for which he was elected; which was agreed to, yeas 47, nays 43. The Harrison members who voted for the amendment, aro Messrs. Lightner and M'Curdy of Allegheny,Bard and Washabaugh of Franklin, Smyser and Fll.llBB of Adams, )drys 'of Delaware, it togins of Huntingdon and M'- Clure of Lancaster. An amendment offered by Mr. Mil-, to continuo in office the persons at pre. sent employed on the public wo kg, for ono year, was lost, yeas 46, nays 47. An amendment was offered by Mr. Lusk, providing for tho election of three Canal Commissioners by the qualified electors at the next General election, negatived, yeas 46, nays 48. An amendment by Mr. Wright for the election of three Commissioners on the second Monday in May next, was negatived yeas 46, nays 49 An amendment was offered by Mr. Church to the effect, that the amendment prohibiting the election of any member of the legislature to the office of Curial Commissioner during the term for which he was elected, shall not go into oper ation until March A. D. 1812, which was with- drawn, and a motion made by Messrs. Lightner and Anderson to reconnidor the vote on tho aniondmenfexcluding members of the legislature from holding the office of Canal Commissioner, during the term for which they wore elected, which was determined in the affirmative, yeas 48, .nays 39. The amendment then being again' be. fore the House was agreed to, yeas 49, nays 42. The amendment of Mr. Church was tenowed and negatived, yeas 26, nays 59. The previous question was then culled for, and on the question, shall the main question be none put? It was de. termined in the negative, yeas 46, nays 49. Th o section as amended, was then agreed to, yeas 49, nays 46. Tho remaining sections of the bill were then severally considered ana agreed, and the bill was ordered to be prepared for a third reading, after having been amended by the addi. Lion or a now section providing for the continu ance of the present board of Canal Commissioners until the first Monday in March next, unless au. preceded by new appointments—on agreeing to this section, the yeas wore 49, nays 41. At 8 o'. clack in the evening, the House then adjourned after a continuous and uninterrupted session of ten hours. You can easily conceive that the members, after such long fasting, were hungry as 'wolves, yet, I have no doubt hungry as they wore, many of them felt much relieved, by reason of the immense quantity of trash, they disbar. tinned themselves of In the shape of numerous windy and protracted speeches. Such is a brief history of this day's proceedings in the House. HAIIIIISDURG a Jan. 30, 1841. Dear Sir:—After a very protracted session, we have just passed the bill relating to Canal Com missioners. Immediately in the morning, a mo tion was made by Mr. Boneall to go mto commit- tee of the whole for the purpose of general amend ment. After considerable discussion, the previous question was called for and sustained, yeas 46, nays 45. The main question, being the final pas• sage of the bill, was then agreed to, yeas 48, nays 44, and the bill sent to the Senate for their con currence in the amendment, which was a proviso, excluding members of the legislature from holding the office of Canal Commissioner during the term for which they were elected. In this amendment the Senate refused to concur, information of which having been communicated to the House; a motion was made that the House recede from their amendment non•concurred in by the Senate; lost, yeas 40, nays 50. The Harrison members vho toted against recession are Messrs. Eyre of Delaware, Smyser and Fauss of Adams, Bard and Washabaugh of Bedford, M'Curdy of Allegheny, M'Cluro of Lancaster, and Johnston of Armstrong. The Senate being informed that the House refused to recede from their amendment non-concurred in by the Senate, insisted on adhe ring to their non-concurrence in the amendment - of the House, information of which having been communicated to the House, and committee of conference was appointed, consisting on the part I of the House of Messrs. Co:, Brodhead of North ampton, and Montgomery, and Mews. Ewing, Pearson and Brown of the Senate. The committee of conference reported the bill without the amendment, and the report wee adopted as follows, viz: YEAS.—Messrs.

PREPERVATION OF LIEALTR.-4t has been remarked, and most truly, that the three or dinary secrets of Health are early rising, exercise, and personal cleanliness. Person. al cleanliness all have in their power to ob serve: but to many, early rising is inconve nient, and exercise impossible, in conse quence of the nature of thoi r worldly evoca tions. To those the use of Brandreth's Vegetable Universal Pills would prove of groat value in the preservation of that in valuable blessing--health. The peculiar action of these pills is most surprising; their operation being more or less powerful, according to the pureness of the circulating fluid. On a person in a fair state of health, who is only-costive or slightly bilious, they will be scarcely felt; on the contrary, ifthe complaint be chronic, and the constitution be much deranged, the effect generally at first is most powerful, un til the system be freed from some of its most vitiated and turgid humors. This acomplished, doses sufficient to•cause two or three copious evacuations, daily, will soon remove the disease, rind tho constitution will be restored to a state of health and re newed vigor.
