Mango of the Governor - , onlikigniiii the Bill
to Lieerperate the Erie City Beak.
To iks &ears sad House of Represeutatkce of the ,
Cesuserarreatili sikPenruy/visma:
Gawnewas:—After mach anxious reflection, and
a very fall exaMination ef the facts connected with
the subject, I have concluded to approve bill No. 4,
on ;the fees of the House of Representatives, enti
tled "As Act to establish the Eta City Bank." In
doing - Ibis, however, I deem it due to yon, the peo
ple, and myself, that I should make knoviin the eon-
Isideratiels which have brought me to this conclusion.
I have repeatedly, since my induction into office,
iem well as when before the people as a candidate, do
, clued sentiments adverse to the increase of banking
'capital, Or rather to the extension of paper currency;
and t ma not willing to have my consent to the cre
ation of the Erie City Bank regarded as evidence of
a change in my views on this subject.
Nothing that has occurred, in this or other coun
tries, eonoecteal with monetary affairs, since I with
held my assent from the creat:on of new banks, du
ring the last cession of the Legislature, has been cal
culated to
_produce such ehhnge; but, on the contra
ry, much that has taken place, to surrounding States,
may be regarded as stiengtbening my confidence and
yours, in that policy which loiks_to a reduction ra
ther than an extension of the paper medium. The
enormous influx of gold from California and other
sources, not only continues, bat seems greatly on
- the increase over former years, and many tedium*
have thus been added to the metalic currency of the
country. A comiciarcial revulsion, how ever slight
or temporary, cannot pass over without deinonstra
ting. that Pennsylvania is greatly the gainer, by con
fining the amount of her circulating medium to tire
positive demands of a wholesale business. There
is safety in this policy, fur the merchant, and actual
tali to the farmer, the mechanic and laborer. The
wages of labor seldom, if ei.er, advance in an equal
ratio with the enhancement of the nominal value of
property, resulting (loin a superabundance of money.
The condition of the laboring classes in many sec
tions of the country, at this time, affords a sufficient
evidence , of the soundness of this position. So firmly
am I convinced of the wisdom of this policy, that had
the measure under consideration involved a practical
departare,to any considerable extent,from the ground
heretofore occupied on this subject, I should have
"retureedlhe bill without my sanction, nutwithstand
. 101( the peculiar local considerations in its favor. But
'tt can scarcely be regarded as a violation of the res
. trietive policy I have indicated.
The institution thus created is represented as a
substitution for the old Erie bank. The people of
the city of Erie seem to prefer the creation of a new
blank rather than the recharrer of the old one. `,Cho
old bank is nut asking a revival or extension of its
ranchises, but has very properly commenced wind
ing op its affairs. And thus the city of Eric, new
more flourishing and extended in its business opera
tions than at any former period, •would be destitute
. of a banking institution of any character. Remote
from wanted in 'muttons, at least from those of
our own State, her business men would be forced to
resort to the banks of other State. 4 fur to e transac
tion of their business, so far as banking facilities may
be necessary, and thus throw, into circulat on a cur
rency leas safe and far more objectionable than our
own. I can see no other locality in the State -pus
missing business enough to require and sustain a
bank similarly circuinstanced. And n hat I des re to
- impress up - on you most distinctly is, that my assent
to the charter of the Erie City Bank shall nut ba
taken as evidence that I woulu sanction the creation
of new banks in other localities, and presenting no
such inducements; and it is but candid and right that
I should say to you, that of alt the proposed banks
from which I withheld my assent last winter, this
is the only one which could receive my sanction at
this time, and besides this, the propositions are Ms
similar, for the capital stock being but little over one
half the amount asked for at the last session.
It may not be improper in this connection to call
your ittention , Once more to the subject of the can
vellation of the relief issues. t regard the withdraw
al of this currency from circulation as the first India
- pens able step in the refurniaticn of our paper cur.
rency. Penrsylvania snoufd be ambitious to lead her
sister States in the great reform of substituting a
metalic for a paper medium; but she cannot hope to
influence this action so long as she sustains in her
sovereign capacity the most objectional specter of
paper money.
This salutary reform accomplished, the difficulties
in the way 'ef the substitution of a metalic fora pa
per system, at least as to notes of the smaller deno
minations, would not be insu:mountable.By a pro
gressive action on the subject, beginning wi th the
lives and those of lower denominations , and proceed
ing as time and es perit nce would dictate, a few years
might bring round a thorough reformation of our mix
ed system. I believe this to be the true policy of
thecountry—one winch would strengthen and pt.).
tact our agricultural, manufacturing and counusr
cialiinterests in their rivalry with those of other
.countries, I believe it will be wise for Pennsylvania
to adopt this policy, even though her sister States
refuse to join in the work—fur it will ultimately
make her ikb at their expense.
to conclusiorf gentlemen, allow me to express
the hops that before the final adjournment of the
General Assembly, efficient measures may be adopted
to cense the relief notes now in circulation.

TUB INDEMNDUNCB AND ilea PAISENGIEIO.—Some
242 cabin and 973 steerage passengers left New
York fur San Juan on,tbe2oth of January, on board
the steamship Northern Light, which connected
with the Independence. Whether all thuae men
tioned below had through tickets on the Indepen
dence it is impossible to say, but as there_ was lade
to induce a stay on the Isthmus, and no way of get
ting oil' unless by one of the Vanberbilt atearners, it
is to be supposed that they *ere all on the missing
steamer. We yet hope something may be heard of
her. She was last seen, February 13th, off Cape
Lucas. Several steamers have come up from San
Diego recently, without any news of her. She cer
tainty dul not reach any of the puts down the coast,
and the fact that neither the "Cortez" nor " Tea-
Wine" saw anything of her, would induce the'be
lief that ;he wee not out at sea. The only chance
fur her safety is, that she succeeded in getting into
some of the coves on the cuaAt of Lower California,
between Cape St. Lucas and San Diego.—San
Frandsen Herald.
We published a few days non list of the passen
gers who left Now York on the steamship Northern
Light, and who probably bad through tickets on the
steamer Independence. We give below a list of
tilos° who left New Orleans on the 221 of January,
on the steamship Daniel 'Webster, which al:o con
nected with the Independence. If the report on
board these steamers is correct, it was of course
impossible fur the Independence to take them all on
board. Thus the Northern Light enumerates 200.
and adds 273 in the steerage; the Daniel Webster
enumerates about 150, and adJa 1134 is the steerage
—making a total of 857 by both steamers. The
Independence cannot crowd in more than half this
number. The presumption is, however, that all
those whose n Imes hate been given were aboard,
anJ that the nirnber reported in the steerage was
fictitious. It tills now been exactly one month since
the Independence was last seen effeape St. Lucas.

less of the maid steamer Tennessee, on her voyage
from Panama to San Francisco, are given at length

North Head at 9.30.
The alumeut the danger was described orders were
given to•back the ship, and though running slowly
at the time, it was toe late. As soon as it was found
that she would not back from the shoal water, head
way was given to try, if possible, to clear it, but all
to no purpose, the ace hating entire control of her;
a second and third attempt was made to back her.
During this critical time the Captain's presence'
of whet never forsook him.
The ship struck several times, and so heavily the
first time, that dishes were thruwu from the table
and b.ro4en. Sbe relied heavily fur a short time.—
Alnaost'as soon as she had struck, the first officer
threw -himself into the sea with a lice, and swam
for the shore; after reachiug it he returned in a
clearly exhausted condition, to render that assist

Shortly after she had stopped she swung broad

During the forenoon signal guns were heard, sup

miles distant. From a cliff, near which the Ten

Ae soon as the passengers were landed, &silo, Er.c.

who had lett for Sadcelito, among whom were four
ladies, were making preparations to adopt, for a short
time, a camp life ou the shore. Provisions, beds
and bedding, were also furnished in abundance.
After the mails, Esc., had been landud, the pas.
senors held a meeting ou shore, at which hrssolu

opinion, was purely accidental, and attributable to

A TRIMBLE. TRAGEDT.-A citizen of Louisville
and one of the unfortunate passengers who took that
awful leap down the precipice west of Cumberland,
has so far recovered as to write home totia friends.
His experizuce was one which few would wish to
share in:
"I was asleep when we first got off the track, in
the first seat of the second car—Mr. 11. of Walk
er's sitting right opposite, I had time to jump off,
had I known how bad a fix we were in; but believ
ing it safer to remain, on second thought, I did so.
(•the track was only 101 feet wide as measured of •
ter the accident.) The cars immediately fell over
the precipice. I thlnght of God, mother and death.
The first lamp, about twenty feet, my hat saved me;
the second, I faintly remember seeing women tear
ing their hair, and children screaming. The third,
fourth and last jump I know nothing about, only
that I fell on my head and saw a thousand pieces of
timber and Iron flying In the air, and then fainted.
When I opened my eyes Mr. T., who was lucky
enough to have been in one of the cars that remain
on the track, was by my side—my head ,was bleed
ing profusely; with that exceptinn I (eft perfectly
well; not feeling then what I suffer now. Such a
sight as I beheld, I would not look at again for ail
the world; mutilated bodies, some smashed to atoms,
lying under the wheels,—fifty or sixty men and wo
men, their faces covered with blood; running as
wild as demons—mothers with bloody hands arid fa
ces kissing the bodies of their dead or crippled chil
dren—one woman with her dress torn off, scream•
ing and trying to lift offthe stones that had crushed
her husbind—ll., a merchant of Baltimore, his leg
smashed, sitting on a rock—one man, having lost
his recollection, looking like an idiot—cries of ago
ny and despair, and oaths, mingled in the presence
of death. God is merciful that one nut of us all es
caped. A worse place could not have been round,
as we tumbled over rocks sharp and tugged."
Fun PARAau.tr.—Sumetbing now will occur un
der this day's sun. A steamer will tesve our wa
ders with a clearance for the Republic of Paruguay,
a destination never yet had by any vessel
from any N.,rth Amoricsn or Dungeon port. She
goes for the purpose of carrying no a regular trade
on the Rio de Is Plata and the Paraguay river, be•
tween Montevideo kAssension, a distance of eleven
hundred miles, never yet traversed by steam craft
of any description. She will perform a regular
monthly trip between the two cries, carrying pas
sengers and freight } and will be the means of open
ing a commerce—which has never yet existed—
with all 'lie tributaries of the Rio de la Plata, com
prising an extent of three hundred thousand square
leagues of territory, rich in articles of commercial
exchange. The steamer El Paraguay by name has
been fitted especially fur this service, and a stauncher

New York were lighted every night in the year,
they would burn about 3,800 hours. If seven moon

would reduce the number to 3,632 hours. Then
each lamp would cost the city, - (at present rates,l

We feel it doe to ourselves as well as our readers, to
offer an apology for the Observer for the past few weeks.
to the absence of the Editor, his daty devolved open es;
end when added to oar other basioess gave us very little
time I. devote to it. In the mean time our office hes
had to be removed to its present location. and fitted op,
which is no small job, and taken all together, wst think
we are entitled to some credit that we have been able to
do even a; mach as we have done. We find that a man
cannot dcmore than five or six things at the same firm..
with much satisfaction to himself or others. Mr. Sloan
will be at home to take charge of the next paper, when it
will get more time, and we presume give better satisfac
tion. D
That Paper.
" We are happy to inform 00f readers" that we have
finallireceivod that " WALL PAPER." and notwith•
standing what is said elsewhere about the " largest and

"some," and would advise those Ladies who are about
to engage in that very pleasant vocation.housa.cleaning.
to give us a call before whitewashing, and if we can't
convince them that it is cheaper to pat on some of our

Steamer queen City Sunk.
We learn that the steamer Queen City, with • cargo
of flour and live stock. in endeavoring to get into Den
kirk on last 'Wednesday night. ran on a rock which lals
in the channel. from which the - beer or dummy bag
been carried ■way, and sank in about ten feeler we.
ter. !eying across the Among' s* as to prevent vessels
from going in or out. The night was very foggy, which
was undoubtedly the cane of Capt. Wilkins' getting on
to the rock, fur we believe him to be a good sailer, and
one who could get his boat into and out of even Dunkirk
harbor without hitting the rocks, with any thing like a
fair chance for it. There was a very heavy sea running
at the time. The boat is not much damaged.
Since writint the above, we learn that the Queen has

Amendments to our City Charter.
This is a subject which has been more or leas discuss
ed for • year or two past, and, as far as we have been
able to ascertain, all admit that the city - charter is per
fectly powerless and needs emending. No cue will deny
this when they know that it has hardly any additional
powers to those p d by the Borough before the city
charter was granted. A bill has been prepared by our
Senator, and laid before the Senate, giving to the city
arse much needed power of local •asesameuts far the im
provement of streets. That bill was sent here to the
councils, being the representatives of the people, asking
their opinion as to the propriety of passing it. Four
fifths of the council are anxious for the passage of that
bill, but when it came up in the select council it was
killed by Me tatting rote of Me Mayor.
If there had been any time to get up amendmeuts•to
the bill, and such had been desired, the question would
be a different one, for the people could have had an op-,
portunity to put the matter right, but the Legislature ad
journs on the 19th, sad the ball must pass previous to
that or net at all for a year, It is decided. We are In
flounder iu tho mud fur a year or too more unless our
members take pity on us and pass the bill without the
approval of the city councils.
This is the first opportunity that our newly elected
Mayor has had to show how he stood on the qiestion of
improvements in our city, and it tells us that so far as it
la), in his power "old fogyism'" will be thi order of the
dsy. A large sum of money was judiciously expended
last year .113 making the Tarim' repairs in streets nod
bridges, leavlog them in good condition. and from the
coarse indicated by the preset ruling power, it /*evi
dent no more will be done in the shape of public im
provements for one year ■t least, and upon retiring from
office we presume we shall hear from those whom he
carves, great praise for his economical administration.
Visto.ng the local improvement measure is the first act
in the drama of the "property holding" Mayor. The
next shill be duly chronicled.
Er loth houses of the L-gislatare of this Stet* have
passed resolutions to adjourn ou Tuesday next, the 19th
inst. We shall breathe freer after that event, for we shall
know that no further injury can be done us by Legisla
ting until another session at least. Not only this city bat
the whohe State would have been infintely the gainer if
no session of the Legislature had been held lut whiter,
and the - members had been paid for staying at hems in
stead ormeetingin legislative body at Harrisburg. We
should have been saved the hamiliatingspectscle of see
ing the good old commonwealth thrown into the market
and sold to the highest bidder. We should have beet,
saved the blush of shame, that must mantle the cheek
of ever3lionest man in the State, when he is called npoo
to go out of the bounds of his own corrupt legislative ju
risdiction. We should have been saved the scorn and
derisionof our neighbors, who know . how we have been
forced tei a market by oar servants, and bought for a price.
We earnestly believed, in our verdancy, that it could mot
Le done.; until it.was accomplished, bat we promise never
again lei doubt that a legislature can be periuded to do
anyth,rig, provided the a heels are tuflictently greased
with thn almighty dollar. We have looked in vain for
the good that has been accomplished to offset thePevil of
the last Session of our Legislature.
Biotin JAlL—Three men, monied James Davis.
Charles Grant and George Myers, escaped from Jail of
this Coenvy during Friday night. Superadded to the
want of proper substantiality in the' frame•work of the
place of confinement, they were doubtless aided by out
siders inj effecting their release. Consequently, Dot the
'Lightest blame attaches to Col. Vipeent, our vigilant
sad attentive Sheriff. Oue hundred dollar" reward is
offered for their arrest in this or any adjoining County.

W•sautrmisr. April 10. 1853.
Politealsbosess is Washington arc mist more sumer
au, or, frequent, than the changes in the weather.—
Upon the shores of our ice•covered lake, one naturally
looks fir an occasional up and down of the thermom
eter, but hero, on the confines of the sunny South, the
mind instinctively aesociates a genial-and unchangeable
climate with the month of April. So far as our experi
ence goes this has not proved the ease. We have suf
fered snore inconvenience from sudden changes of weed.-
or since one arrival here than ever before in the same
length of time at home. Yesterday, for instance, and
for one or two days previous, it was like summer; but
now as we write,, a bright, hickory fire is roaring in the
fire-place, ar.d Its genial warmth is far from being unac
ceptable.
Speaking of political changes, reminds us that there
is just now a great fluttering among the Clerks iu the
various offices. All cannot be removed, bet some most
be; and let us add, some ought to be! IVs think we
have as much of the milk•of•puhtical-kindness in our
composition as any one, but if we had oar say we would
make short work of some of the whining tribe that are
now qoartered upon the government. During the cam
paign many of these men were enthusiastic whigs.—
This was their right, and we respect them for it. But
no sooner had the first gun of victory resounded on the
night of the election, than many of them became sound
and consistent Democrats. All such, were we invested
with power, should be the first ordered to the political
block. Some few retained their integrity, and are now
wailing paitiently for the axe to come down. All -inch
we would retain. Wet despise such truckling for place;
we detest such huckstering for favors. If a party is de
feated. kilts members abide by that defeat—it is the for
tune or politics, known as well before recruits are en-,
listed, as after the battle has been fought. In this con
neetiots'let us pay a tribute to the pul.tical integrity and
manly independence of the Gth Auditor of the Treasury,
J. W. Farrelly. Esq.. of Meadville, and':. J. Ball, Esq.,
his chief clerk. When the new administration came
in, these gentlemen promptly tendered their resignations,
coupled with the offer to remain until the appointiug
power should have time to look ;about and decide upon
successors. This the Presideut did last week, by naming
a Mr. Philips, of Va., for 6th Auditor, and a Mr. John
son, heretofore a clerk in the Treasury, as chief clerk.—
it will be fortunate indeed, both for the administration
itself and others having business with that Department,
if the new incumbents maintain as high a character a°
the gentlemen they supersede: 1
Yo 9 viy_ll no doubt have learned that Soule, of La.,
has been appointed Minister to Spain. Mr. Slidell, of
the same State, had been previcusly appointed Minister
to Centrd America, but lie has beau here during the
past week, and declined the appointment. It is presum
ed that, although he and Soule are politically hostile,
Slidell was mainly instrumental in procuring the distin
guishsd Chief of "Young America" the tender of the
Spanish mission. Slidell evidently aims at the vacancy
this arrangement will make le the Senate; and with fair
provpect of success, too, we should judge. At any me
lie has left fur Baton Rouge • determined to "work out
has owu salvation," with the legislators now in-session
there. Tile Collectorship, over which a greet deal of
•• soft" and " hard-shell" diplomacy has been expended,
is at lest definitely fixed. El:ckinson ir.vior declined and
Judge G. C. Wonsan appointed in his place. :nicht:lgo
we believe is a moderate " hard-shell," and is withell a
man of talent. Now if any of oar readers do not know
what is the distinctive difference between a "bard
shell" and a " soft-shell" in New York politics. we will
just remark here that we are not much better informed
on the subject than they aro themselves. New York pol
ities has always been a mystery to us. " Hard pan"
and " quick sand:" •' hard shell" and •• soft shell;"
" flanker and Barnburner." with malty other appel
lations of bke eha - racter, but which are, " too numerous
to mentions' as en auctioneer would say. have become
familiar to political ears all over the Union, bat we doubt
very much whether one ia tea ea*, tell • what they re
spectively signify. s Great is the mystery of New litrk
pol.ties
There are a great many macre of coutempleed
changes in th 3 Cabinet, but they are evidently the work
of the rumor mongers. Newspaper correspondents are
becoming hard pushed for material is manufJeture , their
daily bulletins from. hence the '• Taw material" is called
in pliy. Tu this source the ;sable evidently owe the
idea of a rapture in the Administration. and to no other
source. No Pennsylvania appointments have been made
out of the city of Philadelphia. except the Post Masters
at Lancaster. York and Easton ; end the two former
these were in consequence of resignations. The Senate
adjourns to-morrow. and it is generally understood that
then the various changes in our state will be made. Why
that should make a difference, to us is not so clear, on.
less it be that the President and Cabinet have been over
whelmed with other and more weighty affairs. Be that
as it may, one Ming is evident—other States hare bson
promptly attended to. whereas the two great states of
Pennsylvania and New York, have been left to this time
without a notice. We do not coMplsia.--ewie only note
the fact for future reference
We regret much that our friend, Col. Black. who eon
fiJeutly expected, and had re tson to expect. the appoint
ent of Governor of one of the Territories, should have
failed in his application. No man, as we can beer he.
timony, more efficiently served he Democracy during
the last cansess, than the gallant and elcquent
Black. But like the services of many a better man, if
such an one is possible to be found, they have not been
appreciated; but tee trust, like many- a worse man, the
Colonel will bear his disappointment with philosophy.
We know full well, that in the hour of victo , y, those who
have borne the brunt of the battle—who have done the
labor, and have assumed the responsibilities and the odi
unt_of the contest—are often overcome by those whO had
neither the talent or the inclination to lead in the charge.
There is no merit in being a Democrat in a strong Dem
ocratic county. but we apprel end there is con inferable
in standing fast in such counties as Allegheny and Erie
So also, we apprehend it to be not nu uncomfortable
situation to be a prominent Democratic politician even in
a whit county, when one can have an effscieot newspa
per to skulk behind, and its Editor to boar the odium and
do•the work of the party. This reminds us that we have
some very excellent friends in Erie, for they love us and
our writings so well that they have taken the trouble to
hunt up two or three numbers of the Observer previous
to the Baltimore convention, and send them down hero
to prove to Post Master General Campbell that we op
posed the nomination of Mr. Buchanan. This was tak
ing a great deal of trouble to prove a fact that we oweelf
will swear to any day before any Justice in Washington.
Verily, the fool-killer has not been is Erie this many a
day. Judge Campbell will teach these gentlemen yet
that he is not the man they take him for: What cares
he whether we opposed Mr. Bachmann or not? Nothing,
in our opinion! Os the contrary, ought he not to be in
sulted by such as effort as this; for it, in so many words,
tells him, "Yoe are Mr. B'sservant - you owe your posi
tion to instead of your own talents and character—
now punish the Editor of the Observer for daring to have
a mind and as opinion of his own." Judge Campbell
will listen to no such language, and he will do no such
thing. He has, we trust, a bright political future before
him. and be will be.oarsful. we doubt not, to so cooduet
the affairs of the. Department over which he presides as
net to mar-that future in the least. Bat to the classic lan
guage of the great poet, "let'r rip," and see who makes
the most of it.
We most Dot slam this. oar lest letter from the capi
tol. without acknowledging the repeated obligations we
have twin under to our Senator. Has. RICHARD Bow
