American Volunteer, Monday Jipril 10. The JLatv's,concerning Taverns. To the Editor:. It seems that the late act of the Legisla ture entitled "An act supplementary-to.the various acts relating to tavern licenses,” has attracted general attention, and receives the approbation of thoughtful and gout! men. It is so manifestly just add proper that it will be exceedingly difficult to oppose it.— If makes blit one alteration in the laws which existed at the time of its passage and which exisfyel; that is, it requires the pre liminary steps toie made public, wheieas, heretofore they'have been almost as secret as the grave. It is difficult to conceive hoNV any high mindecl and honorable-applicant, or signers.of the applicatiun,'caiT : otlject to the public being apprised'of the transaction, when the ojal statute yet in force says , Sect. 3. "No court shall license any;.inn_:.or:..tav_A. ern vVhich shall not be necessary to accom modate the public;” and that the court may be sure of the fact, Sect. 4 says, this shall be certified “by at least twelve respectable citizens of the ward,' borough or township.” "That'the reader may fully undeistaiul the. principal points of the law now in force we copy the Ist section of the late act, “That every person intending to apply for a tavern license in any city or county of this com monwealth, from and after , the first day of April next, shall give public notice of the same by at least three .publications in two newspapers where the application is made in any of the cities, and in one where the _applicatiaitia-made-in-any^-of—the-counties-- of this commonwealth, (if so many there he in said city or county, or if there be no newspaper published, then by printed hand bills, to be .posted'throughout the township in six of the most public places, of whifcb fact an together with a copy of the printed notice; shall be-attached to the ap plication,) which publication shall be made nearesTthe place where such tavern is in tendeddo be kept, and shall .embrace the certificate required by the fourth section of the act passed the eleventh, day of .'March, one thousand eight hundred anil thirty-four, entitled an act relating to inns and taverns and so forth, the last of which publications shall be' at .least ten days before the first day of the term of the court to'which the application shall be made.’’ " • “ V reqoiv red to be published with the names of those who recommend the applicant, will be seen from the 4tlj section referred to—“No court shall grant a license to any person ;to keep aii inn or tavern, except upon a certificate in writing, signed by at least twelvercpu ta ble citizens of the ward, borough or : town-, ship, in which such junior.. tavern js.propo posed to.be kept, setting forth that such inn or tavern is-necessary to accommodate the public and entertain strangers-or travellers, and that such person is of good repute fur. honesty and temperance, and. is.ufell. provi ded with house room, and conveniences for the accommodation ol strangers and travel lers.” - Now as the statute has all along contem plated the accommodation of “tile public,” (Sect.' 3) and not the advancement of ".pVfr" vate interest, the reader will penfeive that the 4th sect.’requires that the inn-keeper shall be a “person of good repute for hones ty and temperance, and be well provided with house, &c.” and these facts must- be certified publicly in the papers by “twelve, reputable citizens.” These arc excellent laws, and if faithfully observed by the pub lic and the courts the evils of intemperance will be very much abated throughout the State_. But even with these precautions the Legislature well kifcw there was danger of two evils, against which they wished to guard by heavy penalties. The first is, al ' lowing or encouraging gaming-, the second, the receiving of -youth by selling liquor to them, or. harboring them within their houses. The 19th and 20th sections of the act of 1834 refeifito gaming. We insert them for the information of all'concerned. "Arid if any such person shall permit and allow any kindof game; of address or hazai'd._or..-my playingj betting,-or-gaming for money or o ther thing of value whatsoever, either at iards, dice, billiards, bowls, shuffle-boards, or apy game or device in any other manner to be practised, played or carried on within liis .or her dwelling-house, out-house, shed or othet - place, in his or her occupancy, such person shall for the first andsecond offence respectively, forfeit and pay the like sums, (first offence 814—second offence s2B). Arid if any innkeeper or tavern keeper, or other licensed, retailer of winfe or other liq uors, shall offend as aforesaid, the licenfe of such person shall, upon his conviction there of, become Void, and such offender shall be incapable of being,again, licensed in like manner for one year lliereafteivand 'upon such second conviction,- such person shall, in addition to-the penalty aforesaid,- be for ever incapable of being a public ho’use keep er or retailer as: aforesaid, within, this Com monwealth.'’ " ‘ Before we proceed to quote "the sections relating to,selling liquor td-minors, we must, pause to ask, have no licenses been forfeited cotfntyTrnderthe preceding public, and especially the friendsof temperance shouldloukinfo this matter. The ailst, 22d and 33d sections, act 1834, refer to tqinors and, debts. “No innkeeper or tavern keeper shall, receive, harbor, entertain or trust any person J under the.age of twenty-one years, or any appren tice' or servant, knowing him to be such, or —afterbeing wafned to the contrary by the parent, guardian, master or mistress of such minor, apprentice or servant, under penalty, for the first or second offence,’of,-dhree dol- Isri,.over and above the furfeimrc’of.anv . debt contracted, by suchmi'nur, apprentice nr servant, for..liquorspr entertainment, ami for the third offence, under penalty of fifteen dollars, and the forfeiture of his license, and of being forever incapable of receiving a li cense to keep a pjiblic inn, within this Gom- 7No innkeeper or tavern keep er shall trust or give credit to any. person whatsoever, for liquors, under: penalty of ioaing and forfeiting sueb debt.; Every suit brought.by an- innkeeper or tavern keeper, ■ ‘for tavern’reckniiings as,aforesaid, or for.'.a debt contracted by a- minor, apprentice 1 or servant. after awafning tqthe contrary ns aforesaid, shall, abate, onthedefendantmay plead such fact in bar thereof, and (he plain tiff therein shalj pay double-cbaUr’ ~ liCtthepublic consiikr^ell statutes which are mow in force in this Common-, wealth, and see that they are faithfully ob served, and the number Of taverns will be reduced much nearer the wants of “the’pub lic” tjian they are now, and at the same time, their character will be very much elevatedv , A CITIZEN. Por the Volunteer, Prom the Harrisburg Reporter, Jlpril 13. I noticed a senseless, attack upon Gen. Thomas -G. Miller, in the' last Herald and Expositor, which' it is not likely hd will take notice of;-put which calls for rebuke from his friemls.V lam one'of them, and there fore beg space in your valuable paper to show, with what injustice-the conductors of an anonymous print can pour out a censure on political opponents, under covhTr of a mask that shields them from responsibility. - The General is accused-of having said in Carlisle, that he did v not vote against Mr. Spackinanhtbahkbillin accordance with his own sentiments, but to.please his constitu ents; to whichit is added that the, district he represents is whi||B|i. principle, but that he wjtiits “the inodßHgurage to do his duty to the people.” .Tne conclusion drawn is, that his “district had better be left unrep resented.” Now I disbelieve nil this, afid I give my reasons. In frequent conversa tions with’ General Miller, he uniformly said when asked what he supposed the Gover nor would do with said bill, that he had no knowledge on the subject, but if he were Governor he would veto it, becauso.it was a cunningly devised scheme to, favor the Philadelphia batiks at the expense of the -counti-y-instUutionsror-else-if-'not-designed for.such purpose, it would at all events have such an effect, although some of its, provis-, ions were called for in the present crisis.— 1 feel convinced that he said no . more at Carlisle. The imputation of a, want of moral cour age as made to. Gen. Miller, is singular d nough and amusing enough. The wonder is that his physical courage is not also called in question. One would, suppose that the writer in the Herald, had riot been brought into contact with him on occasions where the rights of the people were defended by him at t]ie risk of both-person and property; and where thg interests of the people were maintained by stepping in advance of his colleagues.'..;.-;. . •...... J .' The attempt to-freat the election of Gov 'ernor Porter-as if Ritnei had not'been dp-, .jested,, w. in point in'one ca'se.'as .saici writer may recollect. His moral courage is shown in a representative capacity, or rather in the' measures which he has proposed and. advo-. cated in the Senate. Let us'see.what these are, and lheu_aubmit to the judgment enlightened peopled . First, as to the very bank bill in question, what is Gen. Miller's position? He. voted against the bill which lire Governor vetoed' for sound reasons. But before he made his visit to Carlisle, he had read in his place a bill for therclief of the banks and the com munity, which is the best yet- proposed— whose provisions are to place the banks for a limited period on a tooting of equality \yith individuals in reference to the collec tion of debts from them, and freeing them -therefore, from the severe penalties’ of ex isting laws, such as forfeiture of charters for non-payment in specie and the like, and consequently enabling them to discount' business paper without the apprehension of being destroyed. Secondly: Gen. Miller submitted'a pre amble and’resolution, fur the distribution of of the national drimain among the states.— What would be the result of this policy?— Whqt but to exonerate" Pennsylvania from -debt and embarrassments,.to .complete and extend her line of improvements, and to transform the immense mineral wealth of her mountains and vallics from dead to liv ing capital. ..Its benefits' to the nation are quite as obvious. . A tariff - for protection must ensue,-and the products of agriculture be consumed by the domestic manufacturer; the country self-dependent and independent of foreign workshops and foreign debt, and the people at home industrious, prosperous juidJhappy,.instead.of distressed by the stag-- nation of all business, the want, of employ, and consequently o'f bread. The'public do main is worth .one thousand millions of dollars—the proportion of Pennsylvania at least would be and her debt at the tompletion of her improvements is estimated at about $50,000,000. How glo- Mmsly her condition, if this measure which Gen. Miller hail the “irioral courage?’ to propose, were adopted by the-Tyler admin istration! Thirdlyj Gen. Miller had the “moral courage’’ to propose in an amendment to,a a bill 1 of more limited provisions, to give the ■right of a charter to individuals or associa tions desiring to engage in manufactures.— In this’ he was both'Pennsylvanian and dem ocrat,; as in his other public acts* Now .corporations are, monopolies, but his amend ment would break this odious feature in our system by giving like and equal privileges to all who desire them. 1 fife against fire, is not moro a process of relief from one spe cies, of mischief, and that monopoly against monopoly, roust ultimate In the destruction of al 1 - such- unequal' im mu hides.. As to the benefits. Massachusetts is ah’exatnple; where this principle prevails, and .where a palmy state of prosperity pervades all classes of the, people., . , - Fourthly: Gen. Miller has been the chief champion of the real estate bank’ at Lancas ter,, as a reform ■ of the banking system.— , Who doubtsbutthatagood farmorlvouseis a better security for a bank note than’a sub scription of stock, orthat the fear,of losing a farm or a house is a better restraint to over-issues and other extravagances than the limited loss which is risked.in the prevail ing system? In this too he - has exhibited boih Jiis rooml'courage ami his .knowledge of the people’s interests; fon-to.the same se curity given by all other,'banks, real estate is added in the Lancaster plan. Fifthly- Q en . Miller introduced a bill to 8 r!ii 16 N,, r th Branch, canal. This section ol the public .works may be tailed a coal unUp Iruncanal.fromthe'iron establishments t)I Danyilje and and the anth racite of the, Wyoming,,.Valiev* The :,prb posed measure may be called’ a hastning of aTull 1 of those interests, by giving to an able; of. the canal underthe. embarcftsSine ti ta bf theCommonwealth.andarelief^rihoGqin. mon wealth: from some debt and further ex penditure, whilst (be benefits of. the: work Thomas C. •.Hiller. Would be secured to' the citizens. There is ho want of moral courage orsagatifyin this scheme, the completion of that work being important as a means of transit from New York of salt and',plaster, arid‘.from Penn sylvania, of her 1 coal, irotj, and other com-' modifies. '. • ■ . ' " . Sixthly: He i;ead a bill, in his place to protect married women—lo restore the laws, of the State to their Symmetry, and to fore stall husband in any wrong which some have perpetrated heretofore, and would again enact towards their wives and the mothers of their children.' It-is'to prevent, by a judicial sale.'a .tranfer of any real estate 1 which the husband could not sell without the consent of his wife, and necessarily to preserve to widows a full third of their hus band’s lands and houses. ■ 1 shall add but a word—and a question? Gen. Miller is not a senator .of vain pre tensions. "He'is’aman of industry, thought, common, sense and", genuine .'.Pennsylvania Tecljng—in every sense a gentleman of .bu siness talents and habits. If his suggestions were followed out by the general, and state government, this state would be freed from debt and. taxation—the people of the nation would be protected in theirihdustry—every stream in the slate leading to iron artd cdaf districts might be made navigable—every water fall improved by the manufacturer every article of domestic value made avail able, and every mother secure of a portion of her husband's estate.' Is.this course of his censurable as a want of moral courage? My conclusion is bis assailants rather are guilty of a false accusation. — JUSTI&I UNITED STATES BANK, The Committee appointed by the Stock holders of this institution, to investigate'its affairs and ascertain its true condition .have made a report, in whichJs disclosed an ex tent of speculation and corruption almost .incredible, considering .the standing and character of those who'have had control- of its affairs. Truly, it would seem, from the occurrences of a few years past, that re spectability and reputation are matters-which are sought after for. the. 1 purpose of. fraud; for wheri. obtained, confidence is violated, and they are made to bow to avarice and be come the agents of vice. ' . We have perused this documentf'arid, although not at-all astonished at its disclo sures,-we regret,’for the interest and repu tatioirof our cqmmon.country.that the trad 8 * actions which ever occurred. It appears,that the cause of the bank’s embarrassments aVe not merely confined to its operations under the charter derived from this likewise to its transactions antecedent to it.. The bank has not aimed, at all, at the general good of even the commercial, community, but, accor ding to-the statement of-lhecomraittee,'has limited its favors to a few, incorporated com panies, and a certain few firms or individu als. Thus, of "the active debt, Dec. 21, 1840, are loans to seven incorporated, or other companies, of $1,211,193, 22.”-r-"In ihe list .of debtors , on ‘Dills Receivable,’ of the first of Januaryj 1837, twenty-one indi viduals,-firms and companies, stand charged EACH with an amount of ONE' HUN DRED THOUSAND DOLLARS AND UPWARDS. One firm, in this pity (Phil adelphia.) received accommodations of this kind, between August, 1835 rand Novem ber, 1837, to the extent of $4,213,878 30 (FOUR MILLIONS TWO’ HUNDRED THIRTEIiN THOUSANDEIGHT HUN DRED AND SEVENTY-EIGHT DOL LARS,) more than, one-half of which was obtained in 1837. The officers of ihe bank themselves, received in this way, loans to a large amount,”. ' Ah. Jaudon was appointed foreign agent, to reside in Europe, “to negociatc an un covered credit in England.” When he re signed ns cashier at a : salary of $7,000 per annum, he was indebted to the bankjfour/mn dred-lhousand dollars and upwards. Mr. John-Andrews, first assistant cashier, was indebted, in March 1836, one.hundred and four Ihuosand dollars, which ■ was> by sub sequent loans, augmented to four hundred and twenty-seven .thousand ‘dollars. The second assistant cashier, Joseph Gowpcrth wait, was at one time (when appointed casliicr) indebted three hundred and twenty six thousand dollars and upwards, &c.'&c. These “irregular loans,” a's.'-the committee style them, were settled by a transfer of stock, at a rate above its par value, or of depreciated stock at par. ■ A very comforta ble way of throwing losses of individual speculations upon the bank. ’.For instance “there was taken in’ seUlement ’ for debt, from Messrs. Bevpn & Humphreys,. (Mr. Joseph Cabot, one of that firm, being at-the time.a director of the bank,)’ one thousand one..hundred and'fifty shares of United States bank stock, in, 18S8,” at the follow ing rate, viz: On the second.of August, twb Ivundred -aml-fifty shares-atT23-dollars; the" bank stuck selling on the same d'ayat®(2o, less brokerage; on the, 22d of August, five hundred shares, and on the 23d of August, four hundred, shares, at T 25 dollars. the market price on these two days, being 123 dollars 25 cents, the bank selling the day after at 123, less brokerage.” Again: Mr. Samuel Jaudon, when. in London.lus agent of the bank, Mr. Cowperthwaitahd Mr. An drews, while officers {of Jhe bank, “paid a debt of 269,500 dollars which they owed tlie bank on joint account,” in stock of the . “Danville and Pottsyille R. R. Company, Union Canal 6 per cent., loan, Philadelphia and Reading R. R. Company. -—Nicholas Biddle, , 'for lumself arfll otil ers,” was concerned in consigning large, purchases of. cotton to Baring and Brothers, who were made the agents, of the bank, of which no minutes were ever kept, or if kept, have been concealed. Daring these cotton transactions “a co-partnership wa's_formed between Mr. May; Humphreys, then a di rector of, the batik, and a son of MrVNicho las Biddle,’’ which firm became thereafter the agents of the bank, at Liverpool. It is supposed,by the .committee that the profits arising from these 'transactions may have exceeded 7’ or 800,000' dollars, which: does not appear to have benefited the.bank in the least. .The loans Or the bank were hot made by tlurdirectors, but by,a committee appointed by the Presidenf. who gave verbal orders to the . teller, or, by, a memorandum signed avith the initials of one of them to'pay, ::.which..wa3‘;depositcd in.a drawer, apd at the peciudicnl liines -ror couutihg. were consid-- efedas-sotnuchcash. Mr.Biddleand Mr. Co’wpcrthwait, wereboth addressed by the committee respecting Sundry transact inns, particularly ns regarded 618,640 dollars, which had been paid out of the contingent fund,.upon their, receipts, to which neither of them retimed any answer whatever} and upim that subject, as well.as another myste rious account of 400,000 dollars' chnrgfcd to ‘•Parent Bank Notea'account,” the commit fee were unable to obtain any satisfactory information; either from the books or offi cers of the bank.— Stale Capitol Gazelle, “ WHAT HAS THE LEGISLATURE ■ : DONE?” This is li question which is earnestly asked by several of our exchange papers, of both political parties, and as earnestly reiterated by the Community at large, in every section of the Commonwealth, . - “What has the Legislature''done?” was the question asked us a few day s_ since by ah intelligent farmer of Dauphin. . -- . “What has ‘the■ Legislature ..done?”, in quires a mechanic.residing in a neighboring count r. “What has Ihc Legislature done?” asks a merchant of our borough. “IFhat has the Legislature done?” is asked by a dozen correspondents. “ What has the Legislature done?” is the anxious inquiry of the PEOPLE from one qnd;of the state to the ather. We cpn answer these inquiries in a few words— the Legislature has done? NOTH ING for the people of: Pennsylvania'., If there was ever a time , when the people of Pennsylvania had cause to complain of a reckless Legislature. ihJs-NOWr—Cnirbl tlr ilb* of the .no people of (lie. “Keystone •State,” but witness the. doings of this Federal mass of corruption, bubfor a single day, they would be satisfied of the knavery-and- robbery practised upon them. When -the present Legislature assembled, wo heard of nothing but “reform.”— From the many, professions then-made about “retrenchment and reform ■ we had a hope—a faint hope—thattheirpro fessioils' would for once be carried. But liow has it been? Scarcely had the house been organized, when a whig member from the city moved (and his motion was second ed by another tying) that a large quantity of law books, amounting to something like SEVEN HUNDRED DOLLARS, be or dered for .the .use of the member?.- The motion prevailed, the Federalists voting for and.the Democrats against it! This was a' 1 mere beginning,.however. A few weeks afterwards a committee was raised .in., the. : TIwSSV ; -ft>V‘‘ the purpose, as "they said,‘“of investigating the conduct of the canal com missioners.” The chairman of this “com mittee” is the./ionoraWe-inember from Al legheny, Isaac Liqhtnkr. This "investi gating rommittee’t is still in session, and has been.for the-last two months, at a cost to, the Commonwealth of more than ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS- per day. The “Committee have tried'in vain to rake up something againstlhe canal, commissioners, but nothing could be elicitedthat .'gave the slightest coloring of fraud bn‘the part of the canal officers. But we must do the “com mittee justice by saying that they have, ib their, labors, made out one most startling disclosure—a disclosure which should be known to the whole people of Pensylvania; it is that one of the witnesses which was brought before this committee, did, without a shadow of doubt, at one time, “curry David R. Porter’s horses!” Monstrous i.n the extreme! This bne."^levelopement, ,, in thc opinion of the committee, should be enough to elect lawt/er Jons Banks Govern or, almost unanimously. People of Penn sylvania', it is for you to say whether such humbuggery shall longer be practiced. You are now witnessing the bitter fruits of a fed eral legislature. Up, then, Democrats! and. be active. Now is the time to buckle on your armor, and to‘organize for the coming election.— Stale Capitol Gazette. ■ From the Pennsylvanian, ■ Robinson's Execution ! New Brunswick, April 15, J It o’clock, A.

He was executed within an enclo sure immediately in front of the jail, exten ding'out 6or 7 feet, and the'whole width of the jail some 20 or 30 feet.

About ten mint utes after 10 o’clock, thcsbedffiaml-jailer, withone ortwo assiatants, proceeded to his cell, for the purpose of arranging his. dress and bringing him forth to undergo his pun ishment. The jailer having unlocked ’the shackles bd his feet, proceeded to unlock the. manacles upon his hands with thc'same key, when Robinson remarked to him, "you have not got the right key.” ..The’jailer still persisting.in his efforts to.take them off. Ro binson again said, Vyou have not the right key; why dont you go midget it?” As.soon as his shackles were entirely re moved, his dress, which was a white muslin shirt, was put on, (thrown oyer his other shirt and a common pair of -pantaloons,) when he asked' leave to pray, which lie did earnestness. , • r. f— - ~ Ho then desired to shake hands with all present, which lie did; and when shaking (lie hand of the jailer, he said, “You have used me like a father, may the Lord bless - " you and your.family!?’ ■ . Every thing being fu)ly : ready, ho- was conducted by the. sheriff and-jailer, from his cell, through the entry, to the platform , at the gallows,—during whjch time he mani fested no hesitation or fe’ar;-but wnlked.with a steady! and firm step. ■ ; : Placed under the gallows, the rope was adjusted arouhd'’hirneck, and in onenno ment the cord which 1 suspended die weight was cut by the sheriff hatchet; . when the wretched :mnn was raiBed"from the plat form upon which ho stood, the full extent of therope.atwhichinßtanta'igreatcontrac tionof theiegsupwards and backwards was visible; wheni'tp - the hprrbr ■ of all the per sons the fcirtt of tho-'rope, :;iinUibg dHtftheimainjt'dpe .slipped, and ho was precipitated to the ground.' He was instantly raised upon his feet, and.stood with but little assistanceand without any manifest, discomposure for the space of a minuteand a half, 'in which time the.rope was properly and securely adjust ed; when with the-ejaculation “Lord have mercy upon me-, ,s the fatal stroke was given, and tlje unfortunate and unwept victim of the law was launched into eternity. ’ V' "• At the'.rcquest of-the prisoner, made last .evening, the Rev. Dr. Howe, of the Dutch Reformed .Church, visited.hipi ti.is morning', and.with several religious individuals, con tinued with hiin in prayer and other religi ous exercises,-until the moment he was ta ken from it. He himself made, during the morning, a very ferv§nt prayer. . ■Although he seemed anxious furthepray ers of Ida friends, and entered into the ex ercises himself, he still maintained some thing of ,a callous ami unrelenting character. Last night; his wife and. sister-in-law bade him farewell about nine o’clock, which, on his part, was dune ill an exceedingly cool and careless manner. His wife appeared to be but little affected. '.His.brothers,'James and William, were wiljh him all night, and at parting William Was'most deeply distressed. Robinson did not close his eyes in sleep the whole night. Robinson died without a murmur and without a struggle; two or three convulsive motions only were observable, a few sec onds after he was raised up by • the deadly machine. He was cut down in about half-an hour -and-his body plaeecHtrirxoftnrtcr'be taken away by his friends, who bad made the no cessaiy arrangements to'have him interred a short distance (rom New Brunswick, on the east side of the river.—- .
