THE CAMPAIGN OVER.-T heLegislative Can
didates.---Whatever the result may be, we are
conscious of having discharged our duty to
secure the election of the best man to the
Legislature. If Dr. HOUTZ is elected, the
Democratic party may rejoice that the false
hoods of the dishonorable politicians of the
opposition party, with the aid of their press,
failed to deceive a majority of the honest vo
ters of the county. If defeated, falsehood
alone triumphed over truth. A victory over
Houtz, by such base means, may gratify those
who say that "everything is fair in politics,"
but we know that Dr. Houtz would not desire
an election if it had to be obtained by the
same means resorted to by a number of the
would-be leaders and scullions of the opposi
tion, to defeat him. - A
few days, and it will
ho known to a certainty whether truth or
falsehood has triumphed in the election of a
Representative.

Meeting of Merchants in Independence
Square, Philadelphia.
There was quite a large and highly respect
able meeting of Merchants, Manufacturers
and Business Men, held in Independence
Square, Philadelphia, at five o'clock Friday
afternoon, in pursuance of a call issued in
the morning, to take action as to some means
by which the present monetary stringency
might be ameliorated.
The meeting was called to order by Mr.
William C. Ludwig, by nominating as officers
the following gentlemen, which was agreed to.
PRESIDENT—CHAS. MACALESTER.
VICE PRESIDENTS.
John 0. James, Hood Simpson,
John B. Myers, Win..C.•Ludwig,
John P. Crozier, John Welsh,
S. V. Merrick, Geo. H. Stewart,
Wm. E. Bowen, Robert Selfridge,

Win. Devine, David Milne,

SECRETARIES.
Robert Ewing, S. Morris Wain.
Mr. Macalester,
on taking the chair, made
a few remarks. He said that he appeared
before the meeting in the midst of a finan
cial crisis, such as the oldest among us have
never seen before—one that has come upon
us so suddenly, that houses that havd braved
the vicissitudes of commercial life for fifty
years, have been swept away by its fury.—
Not only had the merchants suffered, but
also manufacturers, miners and others, upon
whom thousands of laborers are dependant
for their daily bread.
The meeting had not assembled, he re
marked, to examine into the causes of this
state of affairs, which might be a work of
difficulty. There was one thing certain, that
three months since all appeared to be pros
perity. The commercial horizon was un
clouded. The New York banks, at a time
when specie was leaving the country at the
rate of a million and a half to two millions
per week, expanded seven millions in thirty
days. An expansion of seventeen millions
in five months broke the Bank of the Uni
ted States. After this expansion, the New
York banks, discovering their error, curtailed
within thirty days to the extent of over
twelve millions—a curtailment sufficient to
break the strongest community, and it was
only marvellous that so many stood it.
I do not know, said Mr. Macalester, what
resolutions are to be brought forward; but
I deem it my duty to say in advance, that I
consider the present banking system defec
tive, and I trust that when it shall come to
be reconstructed, that that reconstruction
.will be either upon the principle of the gen
eral banking law which requires security to
be given for the issue of the banks, or accor
ding to the which requires each bank
to have in their vaults one dollar in specie
for every three dollars of its liabilities. Some
provision of this nature I think due to the
community.
But the purpose of this meeting is, I pre
sume, to give an expression of the wish of
the community that the Legislature now in
session shall do All it can to give present re
lief. When we have more time for calm re
flection, we may then reconstruct the whole
system prudently and wisely, and in accord
ance with the best interests of the commu
nity.
Mr. Macalester, on concluding, introduced
to the meeting,
Mr. George H Stuart, who said:
Fellow citizens—it is scarcely needful for
me to add anything to the very lucid remarks
of our presiding officer. We are hereo day
to'Consider, not the condition of the ranks,
but the wants of a suffering community—of
sixty if not seventy thousand artiza.ns of
this city, who, in a very few weeks will, if
relief be not speedily extended, be in a state
of utter destitution.
This meeting, my friends, was called upon
a very short notice. Learning this morning,
that the real condition of things in this city
is not known by our representatives at Har
risburg, it was deemed wise by a number of
gentlemen to ask our fellow citizens to come
together and give an expression to our feel
ings. We want, this afternoon, to speak to
our representatives in tones of thunder. We
want them to know the real condition of
things in our city. A few pertinent resolu
tions have been prepared, which I know will
be heartily responded to by every merchant,
manufacturer and laboring man in the com
munity.
The question which agitates the communi
ty, Mr. Stuart thought, was one altogether
above party; it was one which concerned ev
ery laboring man. There were cases of dis
tress within the knowledge of gentlemen who
stood with him on the platform, the narra
tion of which would bring tears from the
heart of a stone.
As an illustration of the general distress
and destitution which threaten the commu
nity, Mr. Stuart read an extract from a let
ter received yesterday, from the managers of
one of the largest manufacturing establish
ments in America, by some gentlemen of
this city. The assistance asked for by the
letter was readily granted. The extract is as
follows;
"The money is wanted for the payment of
wages; and the object of making this appeal
is to ascertain whether manufacturers can
rely upon assistance. We have in our em
ployment at this time two thousand men.—
If we can keep a part of them employed, we
think it will help them and the public. So
far as our own interests are concerned, we
might dismiss the whole two thousand, and let
them. be thrown upon. the county for support.
Humanity, however, determines us to dc
anything in our power, and make any rea
sonable sacrifice to give them work."
Letters from other parts had been received,
- iflr„Stuart said, giving an equally gloomy
pidtUre.
Mr. Wm. Mills, of Frankford, an exten
sive raanufalturer, was then introduced. He
made a few rem Arks, showing how, unless
relief of some kind be obtained, immense
numbers of operatiists (in addition to those
now idle) will be throwikout of employment
and general calamity collie
_upon the commu
nity.
In the city of Philadelphia and its vicinity
within the last four weeks, from ten to
twelve thousand operatives had been dis
charged from employment in the cotton and
woolen manufactories alone; and in two
weeks more, unless relief should be granted,
it would be impossible for those establish
ments to go on. If in that single branch of
business 20,000 men had been thrown out of
employment, there must be in other branches
upwards of sixty thousand, and when sixty
thousand men are deprived of their means of
support, at least one hundred and eighty
thousand persons (their wives, their children
and others connected with them), must be
thrown into a state of utter destitution; for
such is the rate of wages that few have been
able to "save fur a rainy day."
In this state of things (remarked the
speaker in concluding,) we must look to the
Legislature for such relief as it in their
power to grant.
Mr. Frederick Fraley was next introduced,
and was received with applause. He said:
My fellow citizens—l 'have come among
you to day to aid in the accomplishment of
measures which may produce relief to our
suffering community. Most truly may we
be called a suffering community; for al
though I haVe witnessed four suspensions of
specie payments by the banks, there has
never, in my experience, been a suspension
attended by such general distress, and want
of confidence, and fear of the future, as we
now see exhibited.
It may be inquired, how has all this been
brought about? The same sun shines upon
us that.shone in the month of August; the
same hearts beat in our bosoms; the same
hands are willing to labor; the same rail
reads and canals are ready. to bear the pro
duct of our labor to market; all the elements
are willing to perform for us their cuttomary
service; yet, somehow or other, man is una
ble to avail himself of the gifts which Prov
idence has placed within his reach; we are
paralyzed and almost dead.
But what is the remedy? Confidence, mu
tual sympathy, and a generous sdpport of
of those institutions to which we took for the
supply of the tokens which move the labor
and the products of the labor of our country,
from one extremity to the other, and from
one part of the worli to all the rest.
It is not a bill of pains and penalties that
will give employment to the poor man ; it is
not a bill of pains and penalties that will con
vert a dollar of paper money into a dollar of
gold. Only a restoration of that confidence
which existed among us five or six months
ago, can bring back all that we apparently
have lust, and set in motion refreshing streams
fur the benefit of the whole community. At
the present moment, we stand very much in
the attitude of a parcel of mills located upon
a noble stream sufficient to drive them all,
but whose waters, from some want of confi
dence in the miller at the head of the stream,
are cut off from all the mills below him, so
that they are unable not only to grind, but to
spin, and weave and forge.
Bow shall this restoration of confidence be
brought about ? Not by indulging in mutual
distrust; not by our calling upon every debtor
for immediate payment of the last penny ;
not by making " runs" upon institutions
hitherto considered solvent and reliable. No
one, it is to be presumed, wishes to deprive
them of the power of action. But it unfor
tunately happens that every man is afraid of
the rising sun. He fears that to-morrow he
may be thrown out of employment—may be
unable to purchase bread for his family—and
he therefore thinks it necessary that he should
hoard to-day. I do not see now (as I was in
the habit of seeing four months ago) the
members of the laboring community carry
ing their weekly savings to the savings insti
tutions, and depositing them there, with full
confidence that upon a " rainy day," when
they call for it,-their money will be honestly
restored. Yet those savings banks—those
institutions that have loaned money to our
mechanics and builders, to be expended in
erecting residences for the men of small
means—those Institutions, from which money
may be obtained upon mortgage by the poor
man, .so that the life-blood of the community
may be circulated freely, and made beneficial,
those savings banks have not changed in
their condition from what they were. Their
securities still remain good; their property
has not vanished ; the population that was
then in Philadelphia, giving wealth to the
city by its labor, still remains. Why should
we, then, in a moment of excitement, wage a
warfare upon all these elements of our strength,
to break them all down, and, in the common
ruin, to break down ourselves?
There is not, I feel assured, one working
man in this assemblage that would not give
one month's wages to have things restored to
the condition in which they were in July or
August last. Yet if we could infuse into the
masses the conviction that all the elements of
their prosperity are still within their grasp—
that there has occurred merely a change in
the signs and tokens to which they have been
accustomed—if we could induce them to place
themselves for one month in .the same state
of confidence and repose which we witnessed
three months ago—our fears, our doubts, our
difficulties, would soon be dissipated ; busi
ness would return to its ordinary channel,
and every one would be again happy and con
tented.
Now, can we not bring this about? I
think we can. I think the voice sent forth
from this meeting to-day, will satisfy the mem
bers of our Legislature that, in times like
these, we do not wish to take the " pound of
flesh," but that each man is willing to bear
his portion of the burthen, and contribute his
share to the general relief.
It is upon the laboring population through
out the State that the mischiefs and misfor
tunes of the present crisis fall with most tell
ing effect. His daily labor failing, his mea
gre savings are soon expended ; and then
comes misery, and with misery comes disease;
and the speedy consequence is, the. transfer
of a family from its once cheerful home to
the poor house.
But if we could again have reliance upon
ourselves, and put but a single branch of the
industrial energy of this Commonwealth (the
coal trade) once more into successful -opera
tion, we should in six weeks have the tables
of exchange, as regards Now York and Bos
ton, turned in our favor, and notwithstanding
the fact that we have been compelled to suc
cumb under the pressure of the times, and
yield to a suspension of specie payments, ev
ery dollar of the currency of Pennsylvania
would be redeemed in New York and Boston
in solid coin -4f, perchance, after the trouble
through which they are now passing, we
should be able to find it there. - (Applause.)
Within the last four - weeks, our coal trade
has, under the influence of this general dis
tress, diminished something like forty thou
sand tons per week ; making a difference in
the receipts of this Commonwealth in money,
(and a large part of it has hitherto come
from the cities of New York and Boston) of
something like one hundred and fifty thou
sand dollars. That trade is now paralyzed,
and its condition is but a type of the paraly
sis which pervades each of the trades in
which those who now hear me, are engaged.
As to the financial condition of other cities,
you know how small a portion of specie
serves to keep up what is called a permanent
specie paying system. But there has never
existed in those cities that kind of a specie
paying system which we 'have in Philadel
phia. I venture to say that in the daily ex
changes of life—in the purchases made at
the grocer's, the I akees, the butcher's—
there are now more gold and silver coins in
circulation among the people of Philadelphia
than there are in the city of NeW York—
[" That's so" and applause]. If you were
to present at the bar of the best hotel in that
city, a half eagle in payment of a debt of
two dollars, my word for it, you would re
ceive in exchange three one dollar rotes.
But, my fellow-citizens, what is it that we
want in the present conjuncture of affairs ?
Not that there shall be in the community
any disturbance in the relations of debtor
and creditor ; not that the Legislature of
Pennsylvania shall say that by the use of
one dollar I shall pay you a debt of two dol
lars; but that they shall permit those instru
ments of exchange which we have used for
years, with which we have been 'satisfied,
and which, upon all ordinary occasions, and
for all ordinary purposes, are convertible into
coin, to resume their place in this community
—to be passed from hand to hand, as they
have heretofore been, to settle the debts of
man to man, and thus the gates of prosperi
ty will be once more opened; the difficulties
under which we are now laboring will be re
lieved ; public and private distress will be al
levCated ; hundreds of men, now upon the
verge of bankruptcy and ruin, will be saved
from involving others in a common calamity;
and all will be made again cheerful and
happy.
Mr. Fraley concluded amid much applause.
Mr. Stuart then offered the following pre
amble and resolutions:
WIIEREAS, We, the representatives of the
manufacturing, mercantile, and industrial in
terests of the city of Philadelphia, now in
town meeting assembled, irrespective of par
ty, in view of the unparalleled distress which
is pervading all classes of our business com
munity, most solemnly state to the General
Assembly of the Commonwealth, now in ses
sion, that in the honest opinion of this meet
ing, prompt relief is required from the repre
sentatives of the people for the benefit of the
people themselves.
Resolved, That we do most respectfully in
voke the Legislature to pass some law which
will enable the manufacturer to keep his
workmLn, and the other branches of busi
ness to retain in their employ the men and
women whose bread is entirely dependent
upon their daily labor.
Resolved, That the relief should be simple
and comprehensive—not fettered by provis
ions impossible to be executed in a season of
trial and panic, but such as will restore con
fidence in the general solvency of our peo
ple, and bring into active and beneficial cir
culation the products of fields, mines and
work-shops.
Resolved, That we implore the Legislature
to consider the sufferings which must inevi
tably follow in every department of labor,
and to those also who have to exchange val
ues, as merchants, traders and factors, if
some relief be not promptly afforded by the
present Legislature.
Resolved, That • the proceedings of this
meeting be published, and a copy sent to
each member of the Legislature.
The resolutions were adopted amid loud
applause.
Mr. Stuart rose to request that all those
constituting the meeting would take the
trouble, after the adjournment, to affix their
names to a memorial which would be found
in the Hall, and which was to be dispatched
to Harrisburg, as an an expression of the
sentiments of the assenthlage.
The meeting then adjourned.
Governor's Message.
EXECUTIVE CITAISBER,
HARRISBURG, October 6, 1857.
To the Senate and "louse of .Representa
tives of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania,
in, General Assembly met:
GENTLEMEN : By virtue 'of the power con
ferred on me by the Constitution, I have
deemed it my imperative duty to convene the
General Assembly at this time. An "extra
ordinary occasion" for so doing, as contem
plated by the Constitution has arisen, and
accordingly you have been called together to
take into consideration, and adopt such meas
ures of relief, as the present exigency may
seem in your wisdom to demand. A sudden
and severe financial revulsion has occurred,
inducing a suspension of specie payments
by the banks of this Commonwealth, and in
some of our sister States. This result, how
ever much to be regretted and deplored, was
unavoidable, having become, from the oper
ation of causes, unnecessary now to be enu
merated, a stern necessity. Thus circum
stanced, the community are suffering from a
want of currency, the destruction of confi
dence, and the numerous evils consequent on
financial embarrassment. Every department
of industry has felt and been disastrously
affected by the shock. Trade and commerce
have been paralyzed. The merchant, the
manufacturer and the mechanic have seen
their bright prospects suddenly blasted, and
many have been involved in a ruin which no
ordinary sagacity or foresight could avert.—
Many of our furnaces, rolling mills and fac
tories have been closed. Extensive and val
uable coal operations have been suspended
or abandoned, and thousands of workmen
are out of employment, oppressed with doubt
and anxiety, and alarmed with the gloomy
apprehension of the future.
It is not my intention to discuss in this
communication, the causes of the present
financial difficulties and commercial embar
rassment. The evil is upon us. Troubles
surround us; and to relieve the community,
restore confidence, and bring back the pros
perity lately enjoyed, and which it is hoped
is but temporarily interrupted, prompt and
harmonious action, wise and generous legis
lation will be required.
The present exigency requires, and every
consideration of present and future interest
to the Commonwealth and people would
seem to demand that the banks should be re
leased from the penalties and forfeitures
incurred by a suspension of specie payments;
and that such suspension should be authori
zed for such reasonable period as will enable
them safely to resume the payment of their
liabilities in specie.
To force the banks into a too early liquida
tion would compel them to require immediate
payment from their debtors, and would en
tail upon the community the miseries of wide
spread bankruptcy and ruin ; while on the
other hand, an unreasonable extension of
the unnatural state of suspension would
greatly increase the evils of an irredeemable
paper currency. The resumption of specie
payments should not be postponed longer
than is clearly necessary, and the best inter
ests of the community may require.-
The general embarrassment and depress
ion of trade and commerce, and the conse
quent depreciation of the value of real and
personal property, if permitted to continue,
will seriously affect the revenues of the Com-
monwealth. The credit of the State, now so
well sustained, and so honorable to her char
acter, may be endangered, not by any ina
bility to pay, but from the difficulty, if not
the impossibility, of procuring a medium of
which payment can be made. The faith in
the State must be preserved intact.
I therefore recommend that the Banks
which may be relieved from the penalties
imposed upon suspension by existing laws,
shall be required to make a satisfactory ar
rangement with the State Treasurer, by which
he will be enabled to convert the current
funds in the Treasury, and balances standing
to his credit in any of the solvent banks of
the Commonwealth, into specie, as soon as
the same shall become necessary for the pay
ment of the interest on the funded debt.
And as a further relief to the community,
and as a condition of the release of the pen
alties and forfeitures incurred, it is respect
fully recommended that the solvent banks
of 'the Commonwealth, which paid specie for
all their liabilities immediately prior to their
late general suspension, be required, under
such limitations and restrictions as may be
deemed expeffient, to receive the notes of
each other, continuing solvent, at par in pay
ment of all debts due or to become due to
them respectfully, during their suspension;
the bank or banks resuming specie pay
ments to be relieved from this condition.
For the relief . of debtors provision should
be made for an extensione time in
'which execution on judgmeiMay issue;
and of the period now provided by law for
the stay of execution.
The issue of relief or bank notes of a
less denomination than five dollars should
not be authorized, nor should the banks dur
ing suspension be permitted to declare divi
dends excepting six per cent. per annum.
The monied institutions of the Common
wealth are, it is generally believed, in a
sound and solvent condition: and if the meas
ures suggested be adopted, the banks will
be enabled to meet all their liabilities, sup
ply a currency adequate to the demands of
legitimate trade and the ordinaryi
Jus_ness of
life, regain public confidence, aid and revive
every branch of industry, and save their
creditors and the community from the bank
ruptcy and ruin inevitably consequent on the
intense pressure of the present financial cri
sis.
The questions submitted for your determi
nation are important and momentous. They
rise far above all partisan or political consid
erations or calculations. A suffering com
munity, in this, the hour of their anxiety
and peril, expect at your hands prompt and
patriotic action for their relief.
Influenced by no other consideration than
the public good, prompted by no other than
honest and honorable convictions of public
and private duty, may the result of your de
liberations meet the expectations, relieve the
