fcj’Tho compliments of thYdeason to all our patrons.
We wish them health, peace and plenty—warm hearts
and willing hands to relieve the necessities of the poor.
To the single ladies we wish husbands, and to the old
bachclprs, wives. If some of them, that wo have in
our mind’s eye don’t soon “jump the broomstick,*
they’ll have to, (as Dr. Franklin would say,) “rock tl*c
cradle in woollen mittens”—that’s all.

ho will pay a.visit of compliment to his friends in tho
Borough, ori Saturday morning next, when ho expects
them to greet,him witli a substantial .welcome.
(Xj*Aftcr this -week Wo shall gel rid of nearly three
columns of Tavehi License Advertisements, which

Hon. 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

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. The opinion of the Court was to have
been delivered'on Friday last—not on tho previous
Monday, os at first announced. .
Pxilt Papers, —Those of our friends who wish, to
have the earliest and most correct information of the
doings of the Legislature, had bettor subscribe without
delay-for ono of the proposed daily papers. The
‘‘Keystone,” “Reporter,” and “State' Capitol Gazette,”
are all excellent Democratic journals, and every man
can have “pick and choice.” The subscription price
for the session is only $2.

our thanks for public documents, &c. **.

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., “

Indiana.—lt appears 'from tho message of tho Go
vernor of Indiana, that the finances of that State arc
in a most deplorable condition—the public dcbtamounl
ing to upwards of fifteen millions of dollars, and tho
available means of discharging tho interest upon it,
being only $66,000. 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 .

' “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,.
Washington is every thing during the sitting of
Congress and nothing during 2io recess. At this time
the different Hotels are crowded .with strangers from
all parts of the country. The stores are. thronged with
ladies, pspectingtho many pretty things that have
been desigued for their wear. Tho markets dro full,
affording the epicure every opportunity of'satiating his
appetite. The hock and cab men are as busy os Hies
■in a sugar box. Loafers arb seoajdling about oyster
cellars, seeking whom they , may devour. The confec
tionary keepers are baking cokes, and making all sorts
of good things fpr Christmas. In short every body is
doing something from the poorest beggar up to Captain
Tyler. ; ' ; . ‘ :
My intention was to have givenyou the general pro
ceedings weekly—but indisposition has prevented me
from so doing. However ( will endeavor to give you
a brief sketch of what has beou done during the last
threb weeUiL--But .permit me 1 to inform you that little
injury was done, and no good.
At the.oporling of the session it was, considered
nee'Miry to have some staqdiqgfulea, whereby the
governors could bp governed, op govern themselves if
yorf please,—but Mn Adonis • frustrated the intention
«by bringing up the did question on the 21st rule,
which be'insisted must bo left but, because it prevent;

weeks at tho ppemng pf tire miserable extra se&iori/U
: The lo tlus, bythomajorily, seems to
delay action on the subject,' 'though tho chairman of
tho committee id Mr, Wm* D. Caiiioox, a supposed
abolitionist. Wo aro very well suited, for until-action
is had the 21st rule la In force.
Nothing was done during the first week except the
appointing of a select committee on tho Fiscal plan of
the Chief message, a similar committee on
tho apportionment of dnd another on
tho Smithsonian bequest. On tho Fiscal plan tho
speaker appointed the following gentlemen:
Messrs. Caleb-Oushihg, (Mass.) ChFnJ—Tyler Whig!
. John P, Kennedy, (Md.) Bank Whig*
Tbohios VV, Gilmer, (Va.) Tyler Whig*
Garret Davis, (Ky.) . Bank Whig.

• James K.'Roosvcll, (N..Y,) Democrat.
George H. Proflit, (la.). Scott .Whig*

This Committee will have to report before the close
of the session. --Their report when made will be inter

The subject of the disposal of the Smithsonian be*
quest will bo of importance, inasmuch as it may follow
the course of the Ginml legacy, und both rejoin their
benevolent testators in a better or, another jvorld, nei
ther seeming to have been productive of much good in
this. The Girard legacy has"gone God knows where,
and the Smithsonian bequest is going,—having been
invested in Stnto stocks or bonds. 1 have reason to
tbclicvp that, many aro confederating to give tho re
mains to tho National Institute, of this city—a great
collection of Mummies, Muscat rifles, and stulfcd
cranes. Wo use these tilings up pretty#well in this
great country. Mr. Smithson left tho money to bo. ap
plied to the diffusion of knowledge among-uiankind,
not to the destruction of tho feathered tribes, or tho

The election of Chaplain to tho House furnished
employment and amusement fqronc. day this week.—
The highly and widely Celebrated John N. Mafht,
of-lho Methodist persuasion,- wad elected bn the first
vote, receiving 133 to alltho other 'candidates* com
bined vote of only 63. It is not only reviving but re

and his. arrival will be the'commencement of a revival.

Review of tho -llaUimoro Market* for the weeJe
ending Friday, December 24,
Beer Cattle,— I Tim offerings of stock on Monday
were larger than the previous week, comprising 7 tf>
800 head, and mostly sold to butchers and suiters at 0
50 to $3;50 her 100 lbs. A fow inferior sold at
something less. About taken to other mar
kets, and the balance laid over. Hogs aro not so brisk,
oven at declining rates; the few hundred sold have been
nt something less than $4 50. Dressed Hogs sell at 4
to $4 50, according to tho character of the funds'in
which payment is made. **
Coffee.-— I Tho transactions hav6 again been few,
and at last week’s rates, 9$ to 11 cents for Rio, which
is hwiriy'tholjnly denomination in importers’ hands.'
Flouii is down to $0 per bhl. from store, for stand
ard brands; and no denomination, \ye believe, is held
at a higher price. THo demand, wo would remark, is
likewise.very limited, the sales of tho. week having,
been unusually small. Tho receipt price of Howard
street is $5 87$ per bhl.
Grain.— The receipts of nearly every description
have"been small during tho week, especially towards
tho close. Wheat is not in active request,-and prices
droop; .not over $1 25 can bo readily obtained for good
red, ond 2to 3’ccnts more for prime.' Thera is no Rye
offering.. Tho’price of Corn is unsettled; for fair to
prime in good order, 4£ to 50 cents will include now
