Nor was (it "until PUBLIC OPINION, high toned I and trumpet-tongued, spoke as with a voice of thunder, sounding the alarm in the car of the then senseless Executive, and sohable counsellors who surrounded him, that he dismissed the soldiers with their glittering bayonets from their station at the scat of government. It was riot until public indignation'was aroused to'a piteh soJiigh arid portentous, that a civil war was threat ened, that a’fear for their, personal safety, and the dread or-'incarceration-within-the walls of a prison, seemed to hang in one dark impending cloud over thcrii, that the' henowned trio, ofßttn'er, Stevens, and Bur irowcSrwith-theiwevifconfodcratcs,-desisted from their daiririing avowal, which had been officially made, of “TREATING THE ELECTION AS IF IT HAD NEVER KEEN HELD.”—(governor Porter was nt duties. .....'.' I :„a.(t-'.vvas ftin tjy tKe'fcflecttngatid candid <if all parties,) that life general good of the state would bc ilie prominent feature, in the legislative and executive departments. But unfortunately for the happiness and ■ prosperity-of Pennsy+varriav-the seeds-of-mis^; rule and corruption which had been sown during the previous administration, were still alive, and springing up like tares among ■ the wheat, to obstrucbaiul check the grow- - ing prosperity of oui~'countryr"'lh'prcscht tng the many embarrassments which have been thrown around the present Executive during his official career, it may not be a niiss to refer to the causes, which in a great measure produced them. And we trust it will not be considered a departure from our duty if we refer to some facts familiar to our fellow'citizens, the recollection of which ought to cast the crimson' blush of shame upon the check of every Pennsylvanian, no matter to which political party ho may be long, if there is one.beating pulse of integri ty yet left. When the legislature of Pennsylvania convened in the winter of 1835-6, the dem ocratic party had a majority in.the Senate, —it was to that branch of the legislative de partment, the people looked for safety and protection, from the usurpations and - en croachments of an Executive, and the ma jority in the house of Representatives, elect ed by a minority of the votes in the .state. Mad that senate faithfully discharged its duty, and been true to the sacred trust re posed in them by thejr constituents, many of the extensive evils, —much of (he wide spread distress, anda portion of the disgrace, which seems now to enshroud and blight our once happy, and time honored common wealth, would have been averted. Early in' the commencement of that ses sion .the project of chartering the U. States Bank, with a capital of thirty-five millions of dollars, was ’ agitated. It was hurried, through the lower house, before the bill had been read by one tenth of the voters in the state. To the.senate the people looked for safety and protection from the sad disasters, which every honest reflecting man predicted would inevitably ensue from the'chartering of aii institution, clothed With such collossal -power.— , 1 J The melancholy truths of these' predic tions, are; how'more than realizedfand what was then stigmatized as the evil forebodings, and prophecies, of, ignorany.arid fault-find ing (lemocrals. haa now; become sober rea 1 i ty. The, puiherous widows anil afflicted or phans who are mourning in silence and in sadness, over the loss of fortune, of comfort, arid even many of the necessaries of life, occasioned by the infamy of those, who have controllcd'that institution, fell the lamenta bly truth of'.all the faithful admonitions which the democratic party gave at that P e ,rjpd. Tl>q appeal r by the deiupcracy of Pqririsylvania to .jhc seriate on that occasion, was .Vain. The glitterijf gold, the desire of attaining, wealth, was a: temptation too fas cinating fur'those whose virtuous principles' were not, firrijly fixed. And eight of its members, formerly:;‘the professed enemies of such, an institution, were, found .willing to' sacrifice the future prosperity pf . the com-' rinpnwpalth fori their own’personal aggran dizement. , i.’7 •. ■ ; Havingobtained jts.charter byiiiri' act of 'assembly, the cprruptirig arid ‘selfish policy' of'those' who) Control ted this new* created arid mihriariied ’ Barik rif the Uriitqd States,’ was to retain power and influcncc in tlie legisla tive body.

We have deemed it important thus briefly to sketch an outline; of the causes which placed the parties in the 1 position they, stood in January 1839, with a democratic Governor and house of represen- j tatives, but with a federal senate opposed to I them. •. , •' No sooner hail tboexecutive been installed, than this federal senate made it the signal of a concert ed and unscrupulous attack Upon his administra tion. . Many of the fedpral members, whoso minds wore sorely chafed at the signal defeat of their party, at the previous election, were unsparing in their attacks upon the executive,-purely_ because the people bad elected him. The profuse expen diture of public money without any good to the commonwealth, had been most glaringly exposed to the .public view. The ruinous and dilapidated, condition of our public works had been laid before the. people by the faithful official agents which Governor Porter had appointed to their charge.— Money-was required , for their repair, and to put them in a,condition fbr. use at the ensuing season. jliaKß' SoiViU jibrfldns' of out canals navigable. Whfen executive nominations were mhdo to judicial'stations, his seX) lections-wna at i-once;n®k!^ja^4^ix}K34B'«f l ttas'i Wore stjll writhing under the signal defeat of their own base, endeavors, at the organization of the legislature, to nullify the-will of the people, ex pressed through the ballot boxes. The effect was •eilhejij^d^eai.lho.appiMnsaicnt»qf-tlter.-noraineef dr to produce a confirmation by a bare majority, where the more conscientious were unwilling to follow their loaders in thcir.desperate course. Whilst remnrking'Upon this subject, it maynot bo amiss to contrast the conduct of some senators in 1839,.with thalof 1811. When the nomination of n distinguished gentleman was before the sen-? ate for continuation in 1839, more than one Sena- tor denouneelEhiin for having made political speeches in counties remote from his residence dii ring\tlio-memorablo contest of 1838. They then assumbd. the ground that no man should be ap pointed to a judicial station who had thus.taken a public and conspicuous part in politics. One of the same Senators, on the 10th of March last appeared in a convention, advocated and voted for the nomi nation of a President Judge of a court of common picas as' tlio federal candidate for governor at the ensuing election. Will any one assort, that John Banks lias not taken a 11 public and conspicuous part in politics ?” Tile evidence is before the pub lic, in Ins celebrated letter to a committee of his own party nt Harrisburg,.on the 4lh of July'last. No slump speech made at a county convention, ever contained more malevolent and party invective, than that document which all admit was instru mental in procuring his nomination. Nor was tills done while he was a private citizen, or a member of the bar. It emanated tram his pen, while clothed with the judicial ermine, and DENOUN CES a largo majority of the citizens among whoip lie exercises his judicial functions. Has he re signed liis office, since the nomination was proffer ed him? Hehats not, mid many of his awn party say lie will not; that ho lias toe much wisdom and sagacity, to sacrifice the certainty of his. judicial tenure, fur the fallacious uncertainty attending a federal nomination for Governor of Pennsylvania. When propositions were made by the democrat ic portion of the legislature of 1839, to raise the means necessary to pay the interest on the public debt, it was met by the federal Senators with a frown, and more or less opposition. - Notwithstan ding the thousand obstacles'thrown in. the way; •Gov, Porter by his prudence and sagacity lias been able to sustain the credit of the: state phimpared down to the fourth of March, yea, to the present time. Her honor Has been untarnished when his recommendations have been regarded by the. Leg islature. Since the nomination on the'fourth of March last, various have been the duties which have been devolved upon the executive. His responsibilities have- been...unequalled. That he has met them with a Roman firmnessFevety unprejudiced-mind must admit. On the -Ith of February last, ail the Banks in the State suspended specie paymcnts.af ter a resumption of but twenty days. This was a disaster unlocked for even by the federal -party, who upon all occasions sanction the.propriety of suspensions. The causes' which produced, this untoward event, all parties now trace to its proper source,—’the FINAL FAILURE OF THE BANK OF THE UNITED STATES. ',, Had thismammoth institution, which was said ■ By Jefferson to bo one of deadly hostility to a free government, been suffered quietly to die Under the ’exposure and veto of President Jackson;—sanc tioned by the.e.ntirfidom.ocraoy.of Pennsylvania—* all admit that the deplorable derangement, of opr monetary concerns, together with raarty, other evils not loss- demoralizing, would not have come upon us. ■ To.rcfprm our banking institutions,, soomedi to he an important measure. had been twice ‘recommended by Governor Porter in his' animal messages; But it had been disregarded, or if brought forward, defeated bytbc action of the fed eral ; party.—Means forpayino the interest on our state,debt must be rpispcl, funds ,for,tbe repairs ,of our public works .mvtatj bo provide^,apd sump, pf money for the ordinary expenses of government, wore requited to be furnished/'/phe federalists had the majority in bblli branched of/the I Ldgialatuieb Tlio collected wisdom of their partywaslbfcrenjßr semblod.

Each meas- 1 ure they proposed- was defeated by a strict party vote. , At the very close of the session; when many members had left, a bill of a most extraordinary character was produced, combining the means for raising a revenue, taxation, and what is called a restraint upon''the banks. Either subject would have furnished matter sufTicieiftfor a separate bill. It passed both'houses by a'strict party" vote- and was presented to tho executivo'for his approval,— W jth ajignity and consistency .of character,-which on all trying occasions has distinguished hislcqurse ho returned that bill with his objections. No man could feel more deeply the importance of many of the objects contained in tho bill, than Governor Porter; no one more earnestly desired a relief to his suffering fellow-citizqns than he did. He could not however close his eyes to the glar ing fact, that those who had voted for this bill, making tho welfare and prosperity'of.tho com-! monwealth secondary considerations, had' incor porated into its provisions the: most objectionable features, solely with a view to embarrass tliecxe culirc, and, ifpossiblo, to make political capital for the approaching gubernatorial campaign.„T)iis_ political fund wliich they expect thus to raise, WSs to boused by trading politicians during the coining canvass,. , When this bill had been returned to tho Leg islature with the veto of the Govonor, it again 'came up for consideration. An effort to pass it by a constitutional majority,'was made by the federal ■ members. This proved ■ unsuccess ful. It was tlie last day but one of thc.sesslon of that body. , On the following day it was. re-coti , •’’l" its .... Cx> 1 been, presented, by them. It is not for this 6om .Mtl&to.cojnment upon the propriety or impropri- TortViSuiTl, or to say whether their reasons are s«f-- liciontor not,. before the publio-fwho are perfectly competent to judge and -They Undoubtedly felt that some act was neces sity for the public atlargeV to maintain the credit.of the state; and carry on the government; and'more especially to save many of their immediate constit uents from utter bankruptcy'and ruin. They saw a determination In the Federal Members, to suffer no othejaneasure to pass—it was this bill'withafb its obnoxious provisions, or nothing.' For the rea sons which they have addressed to their constitu ents and the public, they chose the alternative, without, as wo believe intending or desiring to a bandon their principles or tho ' party with which they have heretofore acted. ' Wo' leave them as wo think right and proper, and as wo trust all will do, to settle the question with their ; immediate constituents for whom they acted, and 'whoso im mediate interest they undoubtedly had in view. - ■ Strange to tell, yet not more strange than true,! notwithstanding .the groat solicitude manifested, by Govenor. Porter to maintain the credit of the stale, and to maintain a sound and useful curren cy among tho people,'on the day of adjournment of tlie recent legislature, tho federal members of that body over their own signatures, issued what purports to be an address to the people of Pcn sylvanta.charging the executive,with having re-.j fused his Official co-operation with them.in grant- i iiig relief to tho community.' . ■ * j The whole of that paper, is but a compilation of the numerous abusive speeches of Senator Wil liams and Others of tho same class, which have been weekly- and often daily delivered upon the floor of the senate during the entire session. The several reputations cast upon Governor Porter iu that address, meet with a triumphant refutation in his entire public career, and especially in his mas terly official communications to the legislature.— Upon these alone, your committee might take their stand as upon impregnable ground. They will nevertheless, in a future number, < take oc casion to review those charges, advanced in a man ner so entirely novel and unjustifiable, and expose the want of truth and candour by which Urey ate characterized. , -It may. bo sufficient for the present and in this place to say,’ that every public act by the-federal jmembersof that hodyywas,devoted -to somoultc rior purpose, by which to operate upon the next e . looiion,—and after'the 10th op. March not an act was done. Of any public nature, that had- not in view the ; dotation of John Banks.

POINT-JUST-ENOUGH •AND,TIPSV i• , ISLAND. ... . A recent Publication contains a seriiireomico de scription of the navigation of Drunken Sea, front which we take the following description of Point- Just-Enough, and Tipsy Island. The writer seems well acquainted with difficulties’and pecu liarities of navigation. “The 1 longitude and latitude of Point-Just*: kjnough, have never been exactly ascertained, ei ther from its being situated, as already mentioned, in a floating Island, whatever other cansp geogra j pliers have found it very difficult to assign tho precise Pleasant Bay. it is perhaps to get rid of this difficulty, that some geographers describe Pleasant Day as extending the whole way from Soberland to Tipsy Island. But whether it be or not geographically correct to apply, tho name of Pleasant Bay to that part of the Drunken' Sea, which lies between Point-Just-Knough and Tipsy Island, it is quite certain that there is no part of this Sea where the sky is so bright, the air so fresh and exhilarating or the motion of the water lively and buoyant as it is hero. - . ~ It happens, therefore as might bo.expected, that many of those who leave Soberland,' with the in tention of going no farther tlint Pomt-Just-Enough; dp yet, when they arrive at that point; extend their voyage to. Tipsy Island, and tempted" by : the in creasing beauty of the scone, tho'favoring wind and current, and the easy landing Which the shoro' of the Island presents at no great distance. Be sides.ihose.who thus volumarily extend their voy age from Point-Just-Enough to Tipsy Island; there are others (who overshooting,. tho Point, cither through ignorance or inadvertence, misstays in their attempt to tack, and are’carried to .'the Island, byjthnfdrcp of the,wind and current. As generally happene'lhat;those who.havc oncer visited .Tipsy Island in either of tho ways just mentioned, return .to*it from Soberland; and re peat their visits with great regularity during the ’ remainder of their lives.
