' Governor's Message. This important state paper will be found.cbtito intlus week's Volunteer, a'nd.we cannot too strong ly recommend a careful perusal of it to all Ijmr rea ders. It is a plain, straight-forward, business-like document, worthy the headland heart of its author, and imtet meet-the. approbation of every unpreju diced mirtd in the 'community'• The following mtico of the message, from the Pennsylvanian, so entirely accordsvrilb out views, dial wc cannot refrain from copying it for the- special benefit df our readers': - - . “The' Message will be found to be a.plain, sen sible document, ably written, and, to our view at least of tho subjects up6n which it treats, em bodying principles of the soundest character,. As regards banking generally, the Governor briefly hut emphatically urgds-upon the Legislature tho necessity of a reform of the system which has led to the present embarrassed state notpnly of the Banks themselves, but likewise of die whole country, and refers tojiis last annual’ Message for his sentiments/at length in reference to this impor* tanl matter. It \vifl"l»e .found also that he is par- , ticularly desirous that,suspension on the part of a , Bank should hi'ipso' facto a forfeiture df charter, I that an effectual''remedy may be found in Pennsyl-1 xunia, if no where else, for troubles of this descrip tion. .-The ideas thrown out in reference to the 1 State Debt,lnternal.

Any other course than that which he proposes would be pro ductive of serious evils, to say nothing of the dis-1 honor which would be incurred should Pennsylva nia prove falso to her plighted faith. The embar rassments of the,SUt*iarc.,of ilia most serious de scription-difficulties beset her'iipon every side, and they who have the control of her course, have a delicate and highly responsible duty to perform; but we must be careful that we do'hot, under the influence of temporary' apprehensions, pursue any line of couducl-that may hereafter lie productive' "of regret. • i _ * „ | The Message, though it docs hot go very fully into the important questions of currency, of which , the Governor heretofore lias given l his Impressions ' in an extended formi, will bojbund a very.interest ingand creditable document, andwilKwc doubly nob be, generally commended not :’by political" friends but by all who have the welfare of. •tho Commonwealth at hcarC” An article in the New, York Standard shows, that the President elect has succeeded “by the shin of his teeth.’’ Mr. Van Buren lost Maine by ■110; New York by 13,293; Pennsylvania By 301; and New Jersey by 2,228—ina1l 16,232 votes.— The four States enumerated givo.9o electoral votes —which added to the 60 hif recEivod, would make 150. “It results,” says the Standard,, “that in the,face of all tills tremendous Boastin';, all this mighty concentration of party and of pipe laying, if Martin Van Buren had received but 8,500 more votes in the ahdyo four States instead of Gen. Harrison, ho would have been re-elected President, andlt ad'two electoral Votes to spare.” ’ Mr. lNpEßSoLt..—'ThiS,gentleman,is again con testing the right of Mr. Charles Nayi.oi! to a seat in the present Congress. By ai vole jif. tho House of Representatives, he was permitted to address that body in his own behalf.

The deficit of the banjt, says the Harrisburg Reporter, and tho financial ability of its conduct, .ors, ought to be the delight of its stockholders, whelfthey contemplate its statement. The deficit is about $8,500,0001! Tho following article from tho Philadelphia Spirit of the Times, is a very excellent condensation of tho unmeaning and jum bled iip figures of the balance sheet of the Sank. ■United States Bank.—A meeting of the stock holders of this “great regulator*-* was held in tho Palace yesterday .morning, when a report was made on its condition and prospects, which must prove quijto gratifying "to the “poor widows and orphans’* whom it so generously feeds, and clothes, and comforts. The profits of the bank during the lifst six months amount, according to the report, to $1,200,429 87. Tho currentoxpensesoftbesame period are stated at $133,859 97; —after deducting this sum, add the balance in favor of profit and loss, $2,404,050 49, asMeported by the former Dividend Committee, aud it will appear that the .profits of the Bank amount,to $3,405,520 41. But, lest we should be run away with by such an absurd notion as this, the report kindly informs us that wo must deduct a small item of $1,308,501 89 paid for interest-on “Loans in Europe,’’ loss on Foreign Exchange, cost of specie, &c. and another item of $lOO,OOO, under the semi-annual appropriation to pay the.“bonns.” Wo then have, an aggregate statement of profits amounting to $2,- 057,001 52, which, it must be confessed, looks very fair; but which, unfortunately, - won’t hold good through subsequent calculations. ’ The. “contingent fund” appears to have been $0,505,281 88,. but ns the losses chargeable to it are $5,790,530 57 "it dwindles dowu to $714,651 31, and is completely lost sight of, when the fol lowing other losses are “taken to account.” Esli rnqled probable loss on the suspended dcbtaiid real estate; and tho fosses at agencies and offices, not transferred to the books; amounting, together, to $5,653,490 50! Against this however wo must place $512,12587 interest on that part of the sus pended debt which is estimated good, and which, jf ever obtained, will reduce the loss t 055,146,370 59!!! By adding, this loss to that chargeable to the dale fund,’,’,.on<b:,siibtrpvbog-' t’prbfim’f ffoin the amovttiVibkVill appcaf 'tbat the "actual losses arc $8,879,938 74, or about one fourth pf the copital-of-tlie bank!!! —— After reading tho above, it’will not appear at all remarkable that the following resolution was adop ted.by the.dclightcd stockholders:— “Resolved, That it is inexpedient at this time to declare a dividend on the .capital stock of this bank.” Tho New York Evening Post, refcrring"lp,.Uie recent correspondence in case oflMcLeod, between Mr. Fox and Mr. Forsyth, has the subjoined : “The firm and able answer of the American Sec retary of State, appears to have commanded the approbation of. men of all parties in tho House of Representatives. That be who commits a homicide or an outrage upon property within our territories is to bo protected from tiie tribunals of law.because ho acts by command of tho British authorities, is one of the grossest- of all possible absurdities. Suppose a pickpocket could show a commission from Lord Melbourne, must the President inter fere to deliver him from the hands of the police officers. If an Englishman blows out tho bruins of an American citizen on American soil is his per son to he held sacred from arrest because he can show a warrant from some officer of his Govern ment? Is an English passport to supercede the of our criminal laws?. It would puzzle Mr, Fox, as Mr. Forsyth truly observes, to point out any principle of the law of nations which gives .to one government powers of this kind with in tiie territory of another.. In the mean time wc perceive Unit McLeod has been admitted to bail. If ho was guilty of the offence charged against him, the bail will probably be procured and forfeited. If he was innocent, he will have the same advantages of a trial as a*re granted to an American citizen. The interference of the government of his country will probably end here. The,British lion will be content with having shown his teeth.” Tho Washington correspondent of the Now York Express; in referring to the same matter, holds tho following language: “The avowal of Mr. Fox that an act of arson, the burning of the Caroline at midnight, was an authorized act, was as bold a’confession as ever came, from 0 Highwayman giving testimony in be half of the State. All along, the American min ister at London, has been poshing tho British Au thorities for such" a confession. But confession nor denial have come till now, and tho'.acknowl odgement made, you see, is by authority,' Mr. Fox Speaking of the act done, as bno “well known” to havo.been done under tho sanction, if not the di rection of thp British Government. It may be that Mr. Fox, in the hope of saving one of her Majes ty’s, subjects from a perpetual imprisonment, or something worse, has blundered into'the acknowl edgement he has inade. and, tinder the ploa thnt : McLeod acted by authority, expected that tho higher authority would have been arraigned for l (he offence, and the lesser one, in the person of McLeod, set at liberty; .If .so, the British Minis ter has a most improper name,-for with nono of the skill of diplomacy, he has shown more of thjtaum ning of the fox. The acknowledgementYoiißi|h|t plea in no partictilar, for constituted as eminent is, the Federal Executive can control of the prisoner. “By authority,” oAith out authority, tho offence of the prisoner is tho same, and there is nothing national or international which can'saveltim if he be found guilty. . ~ If Great Britain commissioned her subjects to plunder and burn American property, her subjects who were duped, as well as herself, should suffer the consequences of tho offeneq. TheJSpy cauMit in an enemy’s country, never escapes,: and Sir: McLeod, .in' the Lockport prison, I fancy will be treated very much ns a niuch bettor man was; who, in tho words of Washington, was “caught as a Spy, -taken as a Spy, and would be banged as n Spy.’’ Tjiore is authority, for. this; and British conduct is the authority. There was neither law ndr the forms of law in the trials at Upper Uanada during the insurrection in Upper Canada. There 'werenono when Colonel Prince took the-respon sibility of a summary action in-tho name of rebell ion, and Great Britain showed just how riiucli re spect she had for law and justice. Allan MqNabb, the loader of the murderers,- when the ..Caroline was destroyed, was Knighted. for his offence and .made .“Sir.Allan;” these are precedents'which,it is hoped, may. not bo followed, hut Great Britain roust not complain of. anything short of shooting McLeod, Knighting Bill Johnson, and making a Princess of ins daughter, the ’ heroine of tile VThorisnnd.lsles.”...

Crabs, Esq. of the city L Speaker of the House of Representatives, by tr vote of S 3, to 44. No sooner, was Ids .election rendered certain, titan Stevens, who like aa.evil genius was lurking in the. Hall, took to his scrapers and made his exit without taking time to bid the members “good bye.”' . , , . ' In the Senate, Mr. Penrose was elected Speak er on the first ballot—the vote stood'lB for and 14 against. As no “Buckshot War” is apprehended this winter, the gentleman may.get along'tolerably well—but were it otherwise,.! would have re spectfully suggested the propriety of the Senate lowering and. enlarging the dimensions of several bach-windows in the west end of the Capitol. An alteration of the kind recommended wodid; afford greater facilities'for,escape, and less danger to life and limb in a hurried exit,' than the’ windows do at present. After the organization on Tuesday, both houses ndjournqd over till next day. At 13 o'clock on- Wcdnesday the Governor’s Message was read,' and, so far as I can learn, the document gives gem eral satisfaction. In the House, 3000 copies in English and 3500 in German wore ordered to bo printed. In the Senate, a message from the Gov ernor was received, informing' that body of the ap, pointment of Anson V. Parsons, as President Judge of the l3lh Judicial District.’ The nomina tion will bo acted on in the. course of next week, and I think will be confirmed, although Mr..Pen rose, it is supposed, will' do'his best to defeat it. The Speaker still feels sore, under the castigation he received at Mr. Parsons’ hands some two years ago. Mr. Parsons, however, makes a very popu-‘ lar Judge, and all parties in Dauphin county seem anxious that his appointment should be confirmed. On Thursday, in the Senate, several reports from officers of the government were read. , 1000 copies of the Governor’s Message were'ordered to* be printed. ■ The election for officers then took placet which resulted as follows:— Cleric, G. W. Haherslev— Sergeant-at-Arms, SamuelT. Wil . i.iams-— Doorkeeper, Joseph D. Wade —all Feder alists, and all ejected' by a vote of 10 to I*3. Mr. Coplan, a democratic Senator, has not yet arrived. In lire House, the election for officers resulted as follows:— Cleric, Alexander Ramsev—Sergeant at-Arms, Jon G. Patfebson— Doorkeeper, George of 30 to 49.” After flio clecttbn of omoefs| 'd6m"c discussion, took-place- in hotli houses about the printing, and also whether the'members 'should have liberty to subscribe for four or three daily newspapers. After an interesting debate of the highly important question,"lt was finally agreed that three were As many as any member coy Id pos sibly read, and therefore lb at Wastlib number fixed upon. On Friday,'in the Senate, a number of petitions wcre'prosented, one of which on the public prints ing elicited some discussion.

And also, that to cure everyf disea'se, it was only requisite, to open the-natural outlets of the body, and allow them to remain open, by which means the blood and other fluids would release themselves from these undigested and impure particles, and a state of health would be certain to ensue. v The Royal Institute 'of France awarded to him for this'discovery, the Gold Medal of the Institute. This is a historical fact. All which the Uramlretli Vegetable Uni versal Pills profess to rip is, to carry out this principle, and experience has fully establish ed them capable of it. When, therefore, a bad .state of health exists in the body, all that has to be done is to continue to furor it effectually with them, and the more viru lent the disease, the mure powerful must be the dose. . The Brandreth.Pills are made entirely of Vegetable Extracts, known byibng experi ence to be perfectly innocent, and yet of more power as a purgative, or cleanser of the alimentary canal,'than any other medi cine. Their effect on the system is so easy that it is a remarkable fact that the same dose may be-given to nn infant or adult, without the possibility of doing any injury T—but on the contrary good.

The coat of snow which fell on New Year’s clay is nil gone. It wertt of with quite a heavy rain, which has produced quite a freshet.— We jiaye-heard of no damage near here, but presume there has been some suffered along our public works. We understand that a, large amount of damage has been done along the Delaware and Schuylkill river. By the New York, papers we learn- that the Croton aqueduct (lain which cost 8185,- 000, has been swept away. Several lives Were lost and a large amount of damage done to property below. . , ’ ■ Since writing the above we copy; the fol lowing from the Pennsylvanian of Monday. 1 Easton, Pa. Jan: 8, 1841. To the Editors of the Pennsylvanian; Gentlemen —This place, has been visited with one of the most ruinous and disastrous freshets that has everbccured in this region. This thaw has raised the wafew to a height never before known since the country was settled. The Delaware and .Lehigh rose, to -about thirty five' feet abnve IoW watec mark, and the destruction thereby occasioned is terrible indeed. The bridges over the' Le high at this place, at Freemansburg, atßeth lenem, at Allentown; at Brcrys and at Sig hted, have all been swept away. ■ The splen did bridge on the Delaware at Rugclsville', eight miles‘ below this place, built 2 years since, the piers of which were SO ,feet above low water mark, has also been swept away. Dwelling houses, barns, stables, canal.boats, store houses, &c. &c., have.been floated oif and destroyed and-some lives lost. 1 Last night Elam LoWrey, who keeps.the grand lock at-Coleman’s dam, 3 mucs above this place, together with his son were oh ; the abutment of the dam at that place, when it. gave,way and they, were precipitated into the river. The son is believed to be drowned v Mr; Lowry giit hold of a log and floated down-; to this place, when he wastaken otFby' Mr. John Bean an intrepid citizen of our . borough, fn a batteau, at the risknfdiis life.’ He deserves to be immortalized for' the he roic act. No one except ah eyewitness can realizethe irrcsistable force and destructive character of the.flood. . Many of our' busi ness citizenshuvcsUffercdseverely—among them. Peter S. Mecklcr, Clias.
