James Buchanan.— Upwards of thirty of the Democratic papers in Pennsylvania have already ex pressed their preference for this gentleman for tlioncxt Presidency, amongst’' which arc some of .the principal leading ones of the State, Nor is the feeling confined to Pennsylvania alone; the papers in some-other States or© beginning to move in his favor, and, from present appearances, vie s\vtrah\yaiigc for tfnr nomination, is now the bdst of any of the distinguish ed men in the Demochrtic * party, whoso names have boon mentioned^ i tho Wo commence abovc^ mentioned, this shall follow it up from lime to lime to show our readers the current of public opinion, . ■ Sllllft Plasters. —-The Town Council have called a mecling-of tho citizen's of this. Borbugh, for this evening, in the Court House, to ■‘‘consider the subject'of issuing SMALL NOTES”— that is, to issub shinplaatcra under one dollar. As this is a subject which interests every person, in a greater or less degree, wo ) opine that the attendance will be general. Wo are aware t%t tho Council have been petitioned on the subject, and we think they acted very properly in submitting it to tho people. Wo hope that tho opponents of tho measure, (and wo trust that a majority of the citizens will bo found in oppo sition.) will tur n out to the meeting and promptly vote down the project If the thing is not nipped in the bud, we suppose tho Council will make tho mnd then good bye to every tiring like silver -coin of ariy kind. Wo arc opposed to tho project for the following reasons, amongst others:— First, It would be uncon stitutional and contrary to law— Secondly , It would entirely drive specie out of, circulation— Thirdly, It would furnish CoojfTxnPKiTEns with a fine opportu nity of cheating tho people— Fourthly , It would be a fraud on the community, inasmuch as the paper would bo issued without any real substantial basis, and being done In open violation of tho plain law of tho land, a succeeding Council might refuse to redeem the issues, and it is questionable, to say the least of it, whether 6 they could Be compelled—And, Fifthly , because wo dobm< it neither expedient nor necessary, as there is ■-Undoubtedly a 4 sufficiency of silver in the community for all the purposes of change under one dollar. qj»Wc look upon the movement of tho Council and the friends of shinplastcrs as premature , inasmuch as it is believed, that, at the ensuing session, the Leg islature will adopt some measure calculated to bring about a speedy resumption by the Banks. Should the Legislature fail in their duty to the pubUc, in this.par ticular, it would then be time enough, and there might bo some feeble excuse for inundating the community with rag money trash. But until all hopes of re sumption arc abandoned wo think tho Council ought to pause and consider, • • (£j*Tho discussion of the Tariff question-was still going on in?the tlouso of. Representatives at Washing ington, at the date of our latest advices. The question is, whether that portion of tho President’s Message re lating to the Tariff shall be referred to the Committee on Manufactures, or the Committee of Ways and Means^—tho High Tariff men,advocating the" former, the moderate men tho latter. It is doubtful which Committee the subject will be. referred., (Xj*Up to. the time our paper was put to press on yesterday, we had received no < intelligence of tho de cision of the Court in Philadelphia, on tho subject the presentment of the Grand s Jury in the cose of Bid dle & Co.

Sakuel Me Ke Ay, formerly. Becretafy~of tfie Commonwealth, and* afterwards tj. 8. Senator from thifl’Btate,.died, at hia resident in Burlington, ’ ■‘THE STATE LEGISLATURE.—The ensuing session of tho Legislature, will be an important one for the interests of the Commonwealth, and much depends upon a prudent and judicious course in Jif renco to our system of public improvements, tho State debt, tho currency, See. Great anxiety is manifested by a'l classes of tho community, to- will ho tho result of . the deliberations' 1 at Harrisburg, and what measures will be adopted by the representatives of tho people, ;l ' “Wo do not profess,” says the Keystone, “to bo gifted with a foresight that will enable us to throw any light upon this subject Few, however, of our readers can ho ignorant of the fact, that notwithstanding tho overwhelming majority by which Governor PonTka was re-elected, there is one branch of the Legislature in which parties ore in araost equivocal position-r-and unless the Executive is sustained in that body, ho may again be doomed for another year to bo thwarted in the consummation of measures, which will have for their object the advancement and' prosperity of tho State.— This docs'not ariso from any fault of tho people, hu* from an apportionment of tho Senatorial districts, made by, men, who, when in power, “throw conscience to tho devil,” and legislated for themselves and their par tisans, and not for tho good of tho whole. “Discretion on the one part, and energy and indus try on tho other, will (end much to relievo the difficul ties our State will have to encounter. The public in terest will require a most careful supervision;—a rigid accountability should, bo exacted in every department, whilst every effort should bo made to preserve tho pub lic faith inviolate.' The discussion of questions which aro calculated to embroil tho members in unnecessary debate, should bo avoided—and above all let no qtfack palliatives bo offered to,remedy the currency. Tho knife must beapplied, if the. disease is to bo eradicated. Pennsylvania, rich in her ininorols—powerful in her gigantic public improvements—with a population of hardy and intelligent sons, whose integrity is unsullied; and whose chivalry is have little to fear from the approaching stprm. With a helmsman like our present patriotic Chief Magistrate, she cannot fail tp reach tho haveirofcsafctyt” dj’Wo think we can suggest to the Legislature -a decided improvement in the manner of publishing tho laws, which would bo attended .with but a very trifling additional expense, and would dpuhtlcss bo ' popular with the people. Our plan is to lop off tho printing of at least one-half tho journals, pamphlets and docu ments, that ore never read by ariy body, and appropri ate-the money so save'd to the putdicotion, in the news- the State, oP all. laws of, a generh'L This would furnish every body with portunify of becoming acquainted with and make the mifxim truCan reality, that, cd, there is not one man in one hundred 1 who knows any thing about the laws enacted ffom time to time by tho Legislature—hence tho great amount of litigation in the community, and tho necessity of applying to iMwycrs for advice. " Tho Commissioners of each County, might hc_fln-_ thorized to have published at their discretion all laws of a local nature, at tho expense of tho county. Tins would bo attended with very little cost, and would be highly satisfactory, wo . think, to tho citizens of the county interested. 1 We throw out these suggestions for. the considera tion of tho Legislature, and tho people. We think the" subject merits attention. Who amongst our brethren of tho press will second tho motion! ■ Tub Inauguration,— We see it stated m-.ono of the Harrisburg papers, that several companies of Vol unteers from Philadelphia and other places are expect ed to attend the inauguration of Gov, Porter, on the 18th of January. What say our Cumberland Volun teers to joining in the ceremony] We trust they will not ho behind their brethren of the city in paying hon ors to their Gommandor-in-Chief. An excursion of this kind would doubtless bo a very pleasant one, and we are sure they would have no cause to regret it hereafter. Wo should like to see tho Volunteers of old Cumberland as patriotic os their neighbors, partic ularly as wo happen to know that they ore held in high estimation by the, Governor. dCT A new paper called tho “Independent" has been started at Washington city, for tho purpose of advocating tho claims of Mr, Clat to* the Presidency*. Thoddeus Stevens will have to keep a sharp look out, or “Harry of tho West” will jostle his candidate, Gyn. Scott, off the course. * Further Deviljpcments of Dr, Braddce'sMuU Fob beriep.y Wo learn from the Washington Examiner of Saturday last, that the wife of Dr. Braddcc is now in prison, having voluntarily confessed that she- aided in the commission of those crimes for which her husband Is incarcerated in tho Penitentiary. She has also lodged information on one or two others whb were generally reckoned innocent. Tho. same paper informs us, that a few “days ago four individuals were conveyed from. Uniontown, tho place of their arrest,, to Pittsburg, for the purpose of a waitihg the sitting of tho Supreme Court, that they may bo tricd araccoraplicca of-Braddcc. ‘ Two others were afterwards lodged in the Uniontown jail, upon suspicion. The Special Elkction.t-Wo have hit yet re ceived definite returns of the Special Congressional o lection, held in the Bedford district oh the 21st inat A-lelter from Cambria informs us, that in that county Piiilson, the Democratic candidate, has about 160 majority? In Bedford, from the returns received wo shpuld Jpdgo that he will also have a handsome ma jority. ?ln Somerset, tho run will bo unusually close. A gentleman who passed through"the town of Somer set the day after the election, informs us that the Dem ocrats hod a majority in that district, and that the Federalists were chop-fallen and hod given up tho e lection. , Should it turn out that Paxxsos is elected, of which wo have strong hopes, it will truly bo a glorious victo ry, unexpected to every body. > . As Urkatobae Fatubb.— -An European German named Nicholas Moyer, says the Harrisburg Reporter ■ was .tried u\ the Sessions of Schuylkill county, week before last, upon thd-charge, cf having murdered his own'son—an irif.n*, hot much mere turn d year old! Wo learn, says the same paper, that the propf of his having committed the diabolical outrage was dear and unequivocal, and tlie charge of Judge Parsoxb in ex pounding the law, established his crime as murder in the TiRST degree, p The Jury, however, probably from a growing aversion to capital punishment, 'jreturnbd a verdict of “guilty of, murder in tfjo second The hardened monster thereby estaped the gallows, it is true, but the Judge very, properly put him out of further; harm’s way/ by sentencing him to twelve years* solitary confinement in the Eastern Penitentiary., “ OC/;Both branches of the Tennessee Legislature have adjourned. sine diej without . electing U.: Senators.

Under such circumstances it is utterly impossible to~ preservo tho'credit of >tho-State. This the Governor candidly admits; but urges tho ne cessity of making'every effort, by developing and'pro porly applying tho resources of tho Stale; to finally ( liquidnlotho debt. Tho some error was committed in Indiana, which characterised tho legislation of Mary land and other States, viz: too many extensive -works of internal Improvomcnt wero undertaken without duo consideration as to how the means of their construction were to be raised—and the consequences arc such as might have .been anticipated. .The Governor’gives a fair and manly exposition of the actual condition of Indiana; and notwithstanding her apparently desperate condition, sets his face most firmly against the dishon est doctrine of the repudiation of tho public debt—a doctrine which, if practically carried out by any . State, will brand it with deserved infamy,— Ball* Clipper .

The articles stolen were, an elegant and costly gold snuff box set with diamonds, having the letter * 1 A” in diamonds on the Ud; a pearl 'neck-lace, consisting of 148 jjcarl; also two very largo ones separate, sent to the President by tho Imaum ofMuseat. A gold scabbard was also taken; tho .sword belonging to which was .left, doubtless to enable the thief to put the- scabbard into a convenient form to be secreted oa his person and carried .off—The room had been visited, and curiosities shown but a few minutes previously. *Ho was a bold robber, thus to venture in broad daylight to make felonious entry in to a public'room Uablo'eViy'moment td official visita tion.—Baltimore SuiK • •' ** f ' “BOARD OF EXCHEQUER;”—This new fangled fiscal agent of President Tylers has,bccWsent ' . Not having room for it entire, wo present a synopsis of it from the Globe: 1. It .establishes a Board of Exchequer, composed of high functionaries of Government, connected*with the Cabinet amf the Treasury, with three commission ers added, with' power to establish ’moneyed agencies throughout -the-country, and to'-appoint the officers managing them; reserving to the Secretary of the Trcasuiyjhc appointriicnp of the inferior officers—the Board of Exchequer fixing the ‘ 3. The Board is to have the whole finances of the nation—Uie custody of the National Treasury, conlid cdjo it. •*'. . ■ 3. It is to liavo all the duties of commissioner of loans, and manager of pensions, added to its powers. 4. It is empowered to take on itself that faculty which alone raised the old Bank of Amsterdam to such importance at one .period of European history that of receiving depositee of money from individuals, and is suing certificates to circulate as a currency, in lieu of the sums deposited—a per ccntago being allowed to coyer risk ol loss, and remuneration for safekeeping. 6. It is empowered to pass by-laws thatitraay deem expedient to give effect to its powers. . 6. It is authorized to issue a paper currency in notes, running up from the denomination of five dollars to oue thousand; and is only required to Imvo on hand in specie cne-Uiird of the amount of the currency so is sued. 7. It is authorized to draw drafts or bills, and to'soli tho same for a premium, without stint or limit. 8 It is empowered to purchase hills of exchange. 9, It is authorized to receive bank notes, and deal with the banks, producing between them and tho Go vernment tho debtor and creditor relation. 10. It is authorized to establish* banks at its discre tion. ’' * 11. It. is empowered to issue stock of tho Govern ment of tho United States, and make loans, (for the time limited to live millions,) at tho discretion of tho Board. ' * . ' In this we have .concentrated all the power* of a Bank, and more, superadded to the Independent Treas ury, as organized by .the lately repealed law. If Hie latter embraced all the powers of the sword and purse, the Exchequer system embraces both, with tho addi tion of power over tho exchanges—>in buying and sell ing them to any amount—not only /with tho money, but with the credit of the Government. In this at once carry ing tho political machinery of the nation in to the business—the exchange, or, in other-words, the transport trado of individuals—which, with its ramifi calions, embraces the vast commercial employments which in all .countries appertains cxclusively to tlie mercantile classes. It not only takes possession of the purse of tho na tion, but that of the private citizen, by taking it oii dc positc, and founding on it a new currency of certificates. It renews tho connection of tho Government and tho banks, and in a way giving infinitely more power over them than could in any other form bo obtained by Government, by receiving their notes in deposits, in tho purchase of the exchanges sold'by it, as well as Treasury receipts, which, with tho power of. selection given will enable the Government to build up favored :banks anddestroy othersat pleasure. It is, in a word, a vast Government Bonk, in comparison with which, the hydra feared in tho Independent Treasury,'as de precated in.the speech of Mr, Cloy, shrinks into noth ing, • % Correspondence of the .Volunteer* Wo present our readers this week with the first of a series of letters, which wo expect to receive, from a correspondent at Washington, during the winter,— They will’doubtless be interesting to our readers: " Washington, Dee. 24th 1841,.
