ADDRESS,' OF THE DEMOCRATIC.'CENTUM. COMMITTEE,' Jo the People of Pennsylvania. : NO. 6. ■ In the last address of the. Central Oom mittco to the people of Pennsylvania; the true position of the Governor, and of the fe deral majority in the legislature of last ses sion, was set frfrth, by the published opin ions and statements of the Governor on one hand, and the corresponding enactments in the famous "Reform Bill,” on the other;— the DEMOCRACY of the GOVERNOR, and the FEDERALISM of the-MAJORI TY,-in the Legislature, were tliulrdeveloped in full relief. In that address, reasons for withholding the executive sanction from this bill were all considered, except one; to it we now call the public.attention. It is known to every body that hy the e normous delinquency of the 'officers of the BANK OF THE U. STATES, and, the a bu'se of its chartered privileges, that INFA MOUS .INSTITUTION, had forfeited its corporate, powers. • It.bad violated, in nd- SIEROUS INSTANCES, THE CONDITIONS OF ITS Corporate existence.. It was virtually, a mong the things that had been. In this fal len and degraded state, its heart.corrupt & corrupting, and its circulation vitiated and spurious, the federal majority, in the legisla ture undertook to restore it to life. ' By the frth section of the “Reform Bill,” the stopk holders of that .institution were’ authorized to organize a bank, with a capital of FOUR TEEN MILLIONS; OF DOLLARS!'— The'obligation.of the bank, imposed by the Gth section of its charter,. to make-loans to Inc ’Commonwealth, was repealetl! By oth c<r sectionsofaUebiil.-itwas, ’ duringfweh- : chat tels)” absolved'frotn .the "obligations of paying-its. BILLS, NOTES, and' other Ll ivisyeaia Di-Tssmng'Hb Holes' of a fessV?chomi-T natldn'than ten" dollars, as restricted.by its!, lurmer chartef, it was authorized to_ issue I one; two, and tlife.c dollar .no.tesT! r .Iln .fact, (' a new;charter, dißering from the old-in fhej amount of capital, and in all its -essential! features, was thus attempted' to be .granted to that institution. To this RE-CH ARTER, the Governor interposed the 25th section of the Ist article of the Constitution of the Common wealthy which provides:—“That no corporate body shall be hereafter created, renewed or extended,, with hanking or" dis counting privileges, without six months pre vious public notice of the intended applica tion for the same, in such manner as shall 1 be prescribed by law; nor shall any-chapter, 1 for the purpose aforesaid, bir granted for a longer period than. twenty years, and every ! sucli charter shall contain d clause reserving to the legislature the power to alter, revoke, 1 or annul the same, whenever in their opin ion it may he injurious to citizens of the Commonwealth; in such manner, however, 5 that ao injustice shall he. done to the corpo- 1 rutors.” . t The Governor in support of this objection says—“lt is conceded that.no notice, such as is required by this section of the Consti - tution, and the.act of Ist June, 1839, passed in pursuance thereof, has been, given pi re lation tci the bill now under consideration. The 17th section of the bill does CERTAIN- L.Y ABSOLVE THE BANK OF THE UNI FED STATES from some of the con ditions imposed upon it* by the act granting its charter; and, if the provisions of that sec tion do-not■come within the letter of "the 23 th section ol the Ist article .of the .consti tution, they; certainly coine within the in-' tendonof it, which was.’ to give the public notice ol all intended applications for crea ting, or changing, the charters of monied institutions. If this the bill in question, should be deemed to come within the section of the constitution quoted, it omits the very important provision .which the.constitution requires, of a reservation to the legislature of the “POWER" to ALTER. REVOKE OR ANNUL THE SAME” when found injurious to the" citizens of the Commonwealth, upon the terms of doin'; no iqjustice to the corporators,” Thus did the Governor advance the con stitutional objection to the passage, of this law, in terms too clear to be misunderstood by-any one who is desirous to.preserve the SPIRIT and MEANING of that instru- ment. The notice required to.be given to tlie people of the . intended-renewal of the expired .charter of the bank had not been .given! The people had not been consulted upon the subject, in-the terms of-the consti- tution. The federal majority in the legisla ture, shrunk from submitting the question of reviving the charter TO THE PEOPLE. ns they shrunk from submitting the.question of. grunting the charier, to THE -PEOPLE, m 18,36.

Thursday JTuly 2SB, 1841. announce that the journals of the session are disfigured by this Veto —and this ad dress.is signed by .every federal member of bote brandies of the legislature. As evidence that the' Bank itself believes a-notice necessary, we find in the papers of Philadelphia and Harrisburg, a-notice that the Bank will apply to the next legislature for nearly the same alterations in its charter, which were embodied in tlie bill referred to. We have thus presented to the indepen dent freemen of the State, for their consid eration and decision, the facts .and circum stances connected with the attempt on- the part of the’federal majority in the legisla ture, to RECHARTER THE BANK OF THE UNITED STATES, and the reasons assigned by, the Governor fpr withholding from it his signature. As Pennsylvanians, we have just rtason to be proud of a written ■Constitution, and reason as just to be proud of a Chief Magistrate who has the wisdom and firmness to sustain it. In future numbers, we shall examine the veto of that bundle of inconsistencies, called by its federal authors, “Tin; Relief Bill” —abill that could only have been concoct ed and .passed by the votes of legislators,.a majority, of whoftf were .either stockholders or. borrowers, and;‘of course;'servants of the UNITED STATES BANK. * That message, alone, places Govl Porter in the foremost rank as,a patriot and states man, and will recciye'the approbation of.e very honest, disinterested and unprejudiced, man,, as long ,as the vices of our banking .system,, and the folly of the federal legisla tures of 1836 and 1841 shall cause.it to be remembered; . • , ~ -HENRY HUEIILEp., Chainnpi.

Yet my recollection of .the oc currences that had taken place before Iliad been lulled to sleep was perfect; and I had the most accurate remembrance,of the spot on which I lay, and the plants and flowers that had'.been budding around me. Still there was all the mistiness of- a vision cast over the time, and the cause of my havinv laid myself down. It was one of the vaga'- rics of a dream, and I thought on it without wondering. ' 1 he.spot on which I was lying was just at the entrance of a cave,' that I fancied had been the scene of some of my brightest joys and my deepest sorrows. It was known to none save me, and to me it had been a place of refuge and a defence, for in the wildness of my dream I thought that 1 had been per secuted and hunted from the society of man; and that in that lone cav'd, and that roman tic valley, I had.-tound peace and'security. I lay with my back on the ground, and my head resting ortmy arm; so that when, I opened my eyes, the first objects,that 1 ga zed op.vgerethe stars and the full moon; and tlig appearance that the heavens pre sented to me was so extraordinary, and at the sariftsdime so awful, because “sd unlike. the silvery brightness of the sky on which I hud Jast gazed, that I raised my head on my hand, and, leaning on my elbow, looked with a long and idiot stare on moon and the stars, and the black expanse (if ether- , : There was a dimness jn the air—an,un- natural dimness—not a haze or a thin man tle of clouds stretching over and obscuring the atmosphere—but a darkness—a broad shadow—spreading oyer, yet obscuring no thing, as it above the heavenly bodies had been spread an immense covering of clouds, that hid from them the light in- which they moved and had their being. \ . ■ The'moon was large and dark. It secm ,ed to have approached' so near the earth,, that had it shone with its usual lustre, the seas, and the lands, and the forests, that I believed to exist in it. would have been all distinctly visible. As it was, it had no lon ger the-fair round shape that I had so' often gazed on with wonder. The few ravs of light that -it emitted seemed thrown from hollow and highland—fnim-rocks-and from rugged declivities. It glared on me like a monstrous inhabitant of the air, and, as I shuddered beneath its broken light, I fanci ed that it was descending nearer and nearer to the.earth,.until itseemed about, to, settle, down and crush (tie slowly and heavily to nothing, 1. turned from that terrible moon, arid my eyes rested on stars & planets, stud ded more thickly than imagination can con ceive.

No, no,—l had not felt the pairgs*of disso lution, and my reason seemed to recall unto me all that I had suffered, and all that Iliad! endured,—l repeated the list of my miser ies,—it was perfect, but .’Oeath was not there. ‘ ' ■ “OUR COUNTRY —RIGHT OR WRONG.'” I was delirious —in -a inad'-fover,—lfelt helpless and weak, and the thought flashed across my mind that there,. I was left to die alone, and to struggle add' fight with death irijitter desolation, —the cave was known to none save me,, and—as I imagined in my delirium—to one fair being whom I had lo ved, arid who had visited my lonely'cave as Die messenger of jojr and gladness. Then all the unconnected iinaginations.of adream .came rushing into'my mind*and ovcrwlielin ing me with.thoughts of guilt and sorrow— indistinctly drawn out, and ’ partly under stood, but pressing into my soul with all the freshness of a recent fact, and I- shrieked in agony; for I thought that I had murdered her, my meek anil innocent love,’ and that .now with my madness I was - expiating the foulness of my crime. No, no, no,—these visions passed away, and I knew that I had not bee.)}' guilty—but I thought—and I shook with a strong convulsion as I believed it to be true—l thbught llnft 1 had sunk to sleep ’ in her arms, and,that,the last sounds that I heard were the sweet murmurs of her voice. Merciful heavens! she, too is dead—or she too has deserted me—my'shrieks, lay con vulsive agony* would else have aroused her. .But no —l shook off these fancies with- a strong effort, and again I hoped. I prayed that I might-still be asleep, and still only suflcring frpin the pressure of an agonized dream. I roused myself—l called forth all my energies, and .regain opened, my eyes, and again saw the.moon and the stars,-and the unnatural heaven glaring on me through the' darknessrof-the-nighV-and-agaih-over-' powered with the strong emotions that shook my reason, I fell'to .the ground in a swoon.- -When I recovered, flic scene was new.— Thc.mooa.and .the stars had sujiit: ■phbre, arid the -same- mysterious sky. As n S*- riiy.facp vvaa.oot .was; however, revived, and I began to hope that all had been hut one of the visions of the night. But when I raised my head, and luokmhavowdrl^aTnWazeO’-^disTracteil— I had laid down in a’woody and romantic glen—riooked around for the copse and ha zel,that had sheltered me—l looked for the ■blearwilif stream that fell in-"many' a -cas cade from the rocks—l listened for the song of birds, and strained my ear to catch 'one sound ol lite or animation; no tree reared its' green boughs to the morriing sun—all was silent, and lone, and gloomy—nothing'was there but grey rocks;; that seemed; fast has-1 tening to decay, and 'the‘old roots of some] immense trees, fhat seemed to have grown, and flourished, arid died, there. I raised myself until I sat upright. Hor rible was the palsy-that fell on my senses when I, saw the cave that I had seen covered with moss, and the wild shrubs of the forest, standing as griip aftd as dark as the, grave, without one leaf of verdure to'adorn it, with out one single bush to hide it; there it was; 1 grey and mouldering; and there lay the beau tiful vale, one dreadful mass of rocky deso lation, with a wide, dry channel winding a long what had once been the foot of a green valley. I looked'around on that inclosed glen as : far as my eye could reach, but all was dark and dreary, all seemed alike hastening to 'decay. The rocks had fallen in huge frag ments, and-nmong these fragments appeared" I argd roots aiukdecnyed "trunks of trees', not* clothed with moss,or with muslmions.spring ing up from the moist wood, but dry, and old,' ami wasted.' T well remember, .that in that valley no tree of larger growth than the hazel, or tlie wild rose, had found room or nourishment, yet there lay large trees am'ong (he black masses of rock, and ifwas evident that there they had grown and died. , Some dreadful convulsion must have ta ken place—yet it was not the’ ; rapid devas tation of an earthquake. The. .slow finger of time ,wa% tli.erc, and-every'object bore ■narks of the lapse of years—ay,' of centu ries.

Free Press states, that on the 24ih ult., six' of the convicts who liari escaped from the Penitentiary after murdering the keeper, were discovered by Mr. Timothy McCoy, crossing an arm oi the Mississippi on to an island near the mouth of the Pcruqiie. He gave information of the fact to Mr. Comegys and Mr. Metcalf, and the three artned them selves and started in pursuit. , On the island they found and captured five of the rogues, and secured (hem well. The sixth could not bq found, and is still-at large. Possibly he may have effected his escape to the Illinois shore. 5 i , , The five taken in this county will be car ried forthwith to Jefferson city. Each rogue armed with a. hatchet, and they had other instruments of defence, ; .but they did ’not like the idea of ptteiiiptmg to resist three meii armed with good rifles, and who knew how to ase them. The promptness of the pursuit made after they were discovered, led 'to (heir capture, for in' a few hours more, at farthest, they woyld .havc been in Illinois.
