No. 3 Fellow Citizens: ~ ItJs perhaps unnecessary to state that Constitutionally the Senate consists of 3S members and the House of 100 members.— In order to carry out the design of the con spirators, it was necessary to obtain a majo rity in joint ballot and in both branches. If they had the majority in joint ballot they could elect their Treasurer and U. States but they would be curbed in most of the rest of-their factious schemes, if a Republican majority existed in either branch —such as withholding the legal returns, and thus excluding Porter from his seat—appro priating fifteen or sixteen millions of dollars to useless Rail Roads and* Cana's, and in creasing the capjtal of the Bank of the Uni-' ted States to fifty-thousand dollars, and thus impart to that institution an uncuntro lable power over the destinies of our coun try. ;'- In (he House there were 56 democrats le gally elected, and 44 whigs and anti-ma sons. Tliis state of parties gave us a ma jority of 12-—the Senate had a vascillating majority ol S—consequently the democrats had in, joint ballot a certain majority of . nine. In the Senate the seats of the mem bers from the.Bth district were-contcstcd, as was also the seat of one member from the third district, mid two from the second dis trict. The object of each party was to se cure the admission of their respective friends. But Burrowes held the returns, and nothing! like the.,observancc of justice or law could | be looked for from sich a man. He there- ; foj;e, in accordance with his character pre-1 sented to the. Speaker, of the-Senn'te, the spurious returns which excluded Brown and i Stevenson, and withheld the legal returns! by which they were elected. { The Senate sat at night. The Hall was crowded to overflowing. Among the men assembled was the Uitner Phalanx drawn \ from the public works - • j -The men employed on the, public wofks ! have , become an organized* body which can | be wielded- at will by any administration wicked enough to employ their hirelings a- ‘ gainst the people, and they, have become so insolent and arrogant that they think the 1 Legislature is bound to, appropriate money to,useless public works in order to keep them in employment, and have even threat ened the Legislature with bringing down the laborers on the public works to enforce cer tain The Superintendents, Engineers, Supervisors and Contractors are an organized body whose interference in the : politics of the State ns a body ought, and must, be restricted. .The riots and viola tion of law which took place at the Millers tq.wn district, in Adams county, in Hallifax, Dauphin, in Morris district, Huntingdon, in Ydungwomanstoun, Lycoming,, where the, Canal and Hail Ruud men could over-power (he farmers and mechanics, forms a proof undeniable of my assertion. There are some , exceptions to the general rule, but there are very few. ' This array of contractors, &c. was met By men from the county of. Philadelphia and - others from the surrounding counties ad joining Dauphin. When the clerk attempt ed to read the spurious returns - , considerable: emotion was observed in the Senate Hall.— So imith so that men of weak nerves became alarmed. ■ 1 believe so.me persona exclaimed “we will have our rights!” The Xnfima-' sonic prints attach to, the exclamation “or 1 blood!” I cannot vouch however for the 1 truth of the latter assertion. It is certain 1 however that (he confusion hecanve 1 that the Speaker, Charles B. Penrose.-hasti- I ly abandoned the Chair ami appointed an.-' other Speaker pro. tom. and retreated behind 1 the desk. Stevens and" Burrowes had been I drilling the Senate for hours, and now sought r fuge with their colleague (he Speaker.;— But shortly their fears overcAme theln al though those fears Were excited by'them selves—"Conscience makes cowards of us all.’ 5 They-therefore determined to effect a retreat and they escaped out.of the back window, of thb” Senate Chamber. Because t is-.too perilous a descent for tbeir vaulting .ambition to leap out of the window, they’ clept out by the lamp-lighters ladder, In asmuch I profess (o narrate the facts a they octurred, I must differ in opinion with those who think that they jumped out. ThVv took a more deliberate anti less dangerous mode.of escaping from fancied danger. One of their partisans more daring and athletic than themselves di-opt himself from the win dow, and took the lamp-lighters ladder frort® its usual place in the vestibule and secTtred it against the back window of the Senate [Chamber, and thus the frightened statesmen readied terra firma -I dale say not without soiling their dress. And here their pilgrim age began. Burrowes took up and-pursued a devious course. As described tome it was quite as circuitous and doubling astliat of the Gypsy Herald, when Charles .fbA Bblti', set l)is dogs on him. [We heard no iiiore of this Hero until he was figurihgin Lancaster, pleading fm*redruitB to take the Capital.— HowTiie managed to pasS from Harrisburg to I.nncuster- without being recognized, is a inystefy ■ whie|i is not yet.solved, I attribute it to .the instiirtStive/powerprinan. to mask' himself when under ari. extreihe state of ire-1 nidation. , : . .'-yfr* However, let that be as it may. certain it, is the trio clalnbefed oiitof the Senate Chauif herby means of tke ; :lamp-lighfers laddsjv~ •When the lamp-lighter, at the usual "time, went to extinguishTiis lamps, (he liiddeir.was non est, and the lamps burned there was'oil in them. lam ndjicertain thatPenr«9C,Bnrrowes.andStcyerm“ought ■Kit to pay for the extra oil whicli-was con sumed on tliat extraordinary occasion. V The lamp-lighter did noli recover big ladder until’ mid-day on the fifth, and he execrated the l absconded hot, a little for delving Kim pfi “OUR COUNTRY—BIGHT OR WRONG.” ‘ liis -ladder and obstructing him in the dis charge of his very important duties. Alter they had thus descended, and Bur-, rowes had taken care of himself -as above described, Penrose, arid Stevens, like' the Siamese Twins, adhered to each other, and if the course they took is accurately describ ed by Stevcns'-before the Committee, it must haye been a tortuous oire, of no common grade or curvilure. However they wander ed into a thorn bush and had to back out a little—it is,not the first or last time they have had to back out. They blundered on, holding each others arms, fancying every tree in the enclosure an armed Democrat, or Copy Greer with his red comfort, until.they effected a passage over the fence, when*, bid ding each other farewell, Penrose escaped to Carlisle, and Stevens to Wilson’s cellar, where I leave him for the present in all the grandeur of unenviable-scditude. Not so with Penrose. He was transfer red to Carlisle by a Locomotive, where he immediately.set about prosecuting Ids trea sonable designs by military force.' In com pany with Gen. Samuel Alexander he wait ed on Commodore Elliott near 12 at night,- and they three called on Capt. Sumner who commanded a party, of Dragroons stationed" at Carlisle, arid requested him immediately to. march his men to Harrisburg to suppress the "infuriated mob” and restore the un chaired Speaker to his chair, and sustain law and order by the application of the sabre.— Capt. Sumner deficient in knowledge of military dufyarid withal is a rrta,n,of sound sense. He very promptly and very proper ly declined interfering in the matter, and though strongly urged, he answered he could not move,his troops without an order from the Secretary ajTVvar, or a superior military officer, and he recognized no power in a-Na val officer to command him. j Thus foiled in his attempt In that-quarter the 'Wandering Speaker of the Senate wiis again thrown on his beam ends. He ex claimed, in the bitterness of heart -which might be expected from a man whose air built castles had suddenly exploded, and left him in all the sad reality of truth, like epitome of Adherbaj whep addressing...the UomaifSenate, "OlTcrue.l reverse of fortune.! Whither— ; oh whither .shall. J fly? V If I re turn to the Senate Chdlnber my chair is be seiged.by an “infuriated mob.” ’ What can I expect but that Cony Greecand-the other ruffians who wear red comforts round their necks, should hasten to imbrue in my blood" those hands, which are now reeking with the blood of other innocents. 1 know not where to fly foivjrefugc or assistance. Proof my own family, friends, and party I have no expectations. I must throw myself on the resources of my own-great mind.” He then ordered the lllh Division, P. M. under the command of Major General Alexander, to' be prepared at a moment’s warning to march on 56 unarmed men who we're in the peace ful exercise of their legitimate represents-■ live duties, and retired to brood over the disturbances which, as a traitor, he had aid- ; ed to bring on the Commonweal tli, and which ' brought us to the verge of a civil war. The intention of those men, Penrose,- Burrdwes and Stevens to retain their*power in the State even at .the expense of the our-peoplc, the desolation of our farms, and t|ie-conflagration of our towns and cities,, outfit and will receive the profound condem nation of every lover of his country, , j The execration of all good men must pur-- sue even to th'e last breath men sufficiently-- infamous to imagine such a work of destruc tion—and j.tjs most extraordinary, that not withstanding (hey had cut nut such a field of havoc, slaughter, atfd desolation for oth ers. they are all three notoriously destitute of personal courage, twoarjeast.nof posses-, sing Pennsylvania birth, and neither of them possessing a claim to Pennsylvania feelings,' TheV-ouglit to hc lnoked uporras - (he EXE CRABLE OF ATHENS and prohibited from every office of trust, profit, and ,emo lument in the Commonwealth. That a great people, comprising.:! population of a million and a half of souls, should have their peace disturbed by such IVantic_men is a matter which merits and receives the deep maledic tioii of every lover of law and order in the i United States. Besides, if I am correctly' informed, this diabolical.plot, had some con-1 nexion with the Whigs of New York, who rally under the standard of a certain writer ( who, assumes the signature of "SIDNEY,” and the principles of a monarchist, of which ' I shall sneak inaiiother number. I . Immediately after the precipitate retreat! of Penrose, Co. the Senate adjourned and : ; so ended the principal acts of the memorable! 4th of Deteinberjl.lB3B-—but not so their 1 consequents. I had hoped that an ablerj pen. than mine would seize upon thia import- ' ant subject—unmask it in alt its details and. f deformities, now that fresh,in the memory of men, as a beacon to shallow con spirators, who 80, not opinions of the people, and who falsely imagine theyar© to bc led by untruth, or terrified byjnilitary violence—the safety of the cuuntry.requires we should guard against such meli, and nev er entrust 1 those with power and office by whom they liavtyieen abused aml converted to the worst puiffoses.

We so'tne.tjme since grouped together a number of paragraphs, in relation to the Silk Culture in various sections of the country. The subject possesses interest for.a large portion of the community, and it isour inten tion, therefore, up from time to time, all the information that reaches us from au thentic sources, .with the object, as far as possible, of shewing the progress arid pros pect of this laudable enterprise throughout the'United States. According to tire official statement published ip our paper of Saturday last,:s!ilk goods to the amount of 922,862,171 "were‘imported into this country' in. 1836, while in 1838, the amount jdid not exceed $9,312,338. The former it shphld be re membered, was the great year of overtra ding. It is impossible with our present in telligence, to form any thing like a correct estimate as to the amount, invested in silk culture in fhisTiountrvv, at this time; but if we fake all the Multicaulis trees, the cocoon eries and manufactories into consideration, it cannot fall short ofseveral millions of dollars. It is quite important, therefore, to ascertain the real condition of,the matter, and the ac tualprospect;throughout'the country. " " Ihe information we have heretofore given has served to strengthen the impression 'that silk can be cultivated in this country not only successfully but profitably. The ex periment is now in progress, and we trust most sincerely that, the reaultmay realize the expectations of the most sanguine. It is right to add, that while we have hopes, and while our information thus far is,of the most cheering character, we have also apprehen sions. I hat is to say,, we fear that some who have entered into the business are too i sanguine, will not devote sufficient time ami | attention to" the subject, and hence , >vill ex 'P ‘ Those who do persevere, and pursue their operations with ; a thorough knowledge as to the proper treat ment of the worm, who exercise patience, skill .and assiduity, will no doubt be fully successful. We perceive ‘flint in Georgia, cocoons of tlie second crop had-becn produ ced as early as. the 28th of last month— They were made-in 23 0r.24-days, from the commencement offending the worms, or one' week less than the time occupied in the first feeding. The Athens Banner considers the -practioabilil.y of making two crops of silk, as. having been successfully tested, and indul ges a hope as to a third crop. The Charles ton Courier-7says that several persons in that state have planted the morus multicaujis cuttings this season. Also, that a number of individuals are. engaged hi the culture.ol silk. At one cocoonery 40,000 worms, fed on the native mulberry, had been raised from one ounce of eggs. They had all finished j spinning, passed through the chrysalis state, I and laid 5,000,000 of eggs. The whole mat ter had been accomplished in six weeks. A specimen of the raw- silk from the cocoons, is described as fine and;beautiful. The Frederick, Md. Examiner, states that j Messrs. Jenks-ahd Ramsburg, of that place have gofie into the business with more than ordinary energy. They are just completing the feeding of a very large number of worms. The- morus alba was made use of. Their cocoonery-is described as very extensive,—■ We trust that our friends of the Examiner will endeavor to obtain some further partic ulars. The question-possesses, interest in a ; National poipt of view, and every thing cal -culated to throw light, upon it, may be, said to be important; The number of trees now Th-progress within a few miles of Philadel phia, must be very large.' One bundled thousand, it is said, will be raised in 'the borough of Doylestqwn;. while at least-2,- 000,000 of-worms are, or shortly will be, spinning in that immediate neighborhood.— The V&lmineton Jnnrnal-mentions-nn-ex-- teiisive cocoonery in that town, under the auspices of’Mr. Zebra Ferris. .Some of his cocoons are described as very large, taking 1 only 115 to the poilnd—They are from the Tyson white worms, he shall refer to the subject again, as opportunity offers, and in the mean time shall be glad" to receive any . information -upon the matter. A number of j oiii; citizens, we. are aware, have gone into . the business pretty extensively, .and are, perhaps, well qualified to speak upon the subject from actual experience. l ' Since the above'Was prepared, we have nicLwith an article in the National Gazette, from whibli we copy the following paragraphs.

So much for demand and supply. Is it not surprising that, with this information beforc-him, any one in his' sober senses should think for a moment of speculating any longer in Morus Multicaulis or Silk Worms’, Eggs. I have a fine lot of trees. They are very thrifty, and if the price, should be as higlras those of out craft who manage the scenes say it will, I shall probably make a. profit of many thousand dollars.

INTERESTING, SURGICAL OPERA* TION. 'Dr. Warner the Professor of Surgery at* the Richmond College, Virginia, has per , formed interesting surgical operations in two cases of congenital deformity, pf the feet.— . The tendons, whosp contraction occasioned the deformity, were severed, and the two parts united in the formation a-new and J perfectly-sound tendon. VThe 'Richmond ■ "Compiler gives this report of'the cases: — The'first of the two cases operated for by Dr. Warner, was that form of a club foot termed by medical writers Telapas Equinus; the subject a son of a highly respectable gen tleman of Albemarle, of about ten years of age. The deformity consisted in the com plete extension of the foot, so that the heel was elevated at least three ipches above the ground, whilst the foot was turned slightly inwards, and rested upon the outer edge o'f the foes. The operation consisted in the complete section of the Tendo Achilles, which immediately remedied the deformity, ' so that there now remains ,no disparity be tween the two ’ The second case -was a double clubfoot, Tnlapes Yarns Verus. The panent was a'young man aged twenty years. The feetturned inwards, so that the foes of each foot pointed to the angle of the other! They were turned completely over, the weight o'f the body resting on the top of each during the upright position. It was necessary in this, .case to out, in addition to'the Tendo Achilles, the long flexor muscle of the gieat toe, and the cominon flexor of the lesser toesr Notwithstanding the aggravated character of this deformity, immediately after.the ope ration, the toes were directed forwards, the foot elongated, and at this lime the weight ofthe body rests upon the. sole of the foot. The operations were performed in a very .neat-manner,—None oMhe incisions occa* sinned an orifice more than a quarter of an inch in length. Ingenuity and care are re quisite in applying the compressing apparat us, and keeping the limb in proper position, until a cure is effected, and Dr. Warner.has shown skill in the manner in which-he has performed this very important part of his office. We understand there arc two other cases of club foot to- be operated for at fhe THE DISTRESS IN IRELAND. We are pained to be cbmpplled to state that the'late English papers furnish further details of distress and, starvation, in'various sections of Ireland. Alctterfroin a cler gyman nas read in the House of Commons, a short time ago, which stated that the-tnis* ery of the.people of Newport in the.county of'Mayo,.was frightful to.think of.
