I tho Town Council shall issue Shin Piaster's to the amount of ten thousand dollars! ■ SHIN PLASTERS. Tho Town Meeting held on,Thursday evening last, to take into consideration the propriety of requesting the Council to make an issue of Shin Plasters, was largely attended. After considerable discussion, (he following resolution was adopted: Resolved, That Hugh Uaullaoiikh, Esq., and Dr. Jou.n J. Mikus, be appointed to hold an election of tho qualified citizens of tho Borough, on Thursday fccxt, the Gth day of* January, .between the hours of 10 o’clock, A. M. and 4 o’clock, P. M. and the tickets ■hull be designated as Tdlows, viz:—“ISSUE,” by those ih'favor of small notes—and “NO ISSUE/’ by those opposed to them. • ■*& ' - Prom the above resolution it will be perceived that the qualified citizens of tho Boiough are to decide by ballot this day, whether or n »l the known law of the * Commonwealth shall be openly and palpably violated by* those wlio have taken a solemn oath to support the 'CousUatCpm sfcdluw.s,, end whether ti debt to the *mount ; of some. clgJti or ten t/wusanddi>)lars.&\vd\\ bs' ' levied upon the Borough, for ihp pu/l>3SCLOpgn\} i fy ji ig a few individualrwho wislk-to effect n-loan to |haf a mount, This is tho true issue to he decided, and we jjow call upon every citizen who lids any regard for 7 the laws, and who wishes to preserve the fair character of the Borough, to,turn out to the election and vote' against the project. 7’his js no pnjty question. It is one which interests*every tax-payer in this community. .The Borough is now free from debt—lot it remain sO; -for it cannot be denied that every dollar issued would" !»e "iT debt Vreated by tho Council, and every man’s properly and every tax-payer would he bound to pay it, Wic trust t Iron fore that all the f.kizcns opposed to - the mad project, will promptly-uttendTho election TO DAY, and deposite tin if ballots, so th&rthc Council may have a full expression of popular opinion on the ■.ubjeet (■£j*Thc citizens present at the meeting on Thurs day evening, must feel gnttfol t 3 Mr. Watts for the candid statement which lie gave of (he expense and probable consequences which would result from the contemplated issue of Shin Plasters. This gentleman is President c f the Council at present, and also held the same station in 1837, when the former issues were mode—he therefore speaks knowingly on the s.uljcct- Mr. W. informed the meeting that the cost of issuing the former notes (leaving out the one, two and three dollar ones, which he signed himself without charge,) was over >7O0 —and that, from a very low estimate which he mad.c, tho cost of. the issue now' desired would amount to at least flOOO! So, then, the actual debt which would be created for the Borough, would amount in the first plaec to £lOOO for getting ten thousand dollars’ worth issued, ns requested by those in favor of the measure, ami iu the. second place the amount issued, making in the aggregate £ll,ooo—a pretty round sum* for tax-payers to contemplate I But Mr. W. gave the meeting sbnic further informa tion, lie informed the citizens present tint according to the-provisions of the Art of Assembly,, every note ireued would subject the Bor&ugh to a fine of fifty dulhrs, if proceeded. Now', suppose the Council were to issue only one thousand notes, the fines on this number would amount to an aggregate of £50,000 —another pretty-sum for the tax-payers to look upon! But. again—every person cither passing or receiving a.ny note of the kind, is likewise liable lo a fine. Now, wo do not know that the law would he enforced, nor do we know that it would not; hut this much wo arc certain of, that the surest plan forall parties concerned would be to run no risk on the subject. We call the attention of tho people to tho above mentioned facts, that they may vote nmlerstandingly on the subject, We feel the want of specie change as nijuch os any body else whoso business is not more .ex tensivo than our owp; but we cannot consent to reme dy tho evil, by setting all law at defiance, and creating h dclil for the Borough,- .which must be paid from the pockets of the citizens in the event of the loans getting into bad hands, or in'thefuiluro of (ho, creditors lo pay them when due.’ The citizens of Carlisle have already enough of taxation, in all conscience, w ithout reckless ly seeking more; —and as a tax-payer, in common with the rest of our fellow-citizens, we raise our voice against “any unnecessary project which could, by possibility, Increase the burthen.

It shows to what a pretty pass tho finances of (he country have been brought in tho first year of Whig mis-rulo. Well may the people exclaim, “God save the Commonwealth." WASHINGTON, Deo.. 39, IS4I. ' Dear Sin:—The yeast of Reform put into the po litical batch by tho Whigs, id beginning to work. Tho Government after borrowing millions of dollars, issuing spvon millions of notes, and collect ing ten millions of dollars more reyenuo, than was es timated by the redoubtable statesman and Financier, Henry .Clay, making in all twenty-two millions of dollars, finds 'itself bankrupt. Tho Speaker made a requisition on the Treasury for sloo,ooo,'for lire pay of members, which-was laid over to a future time, the Treasurer stating that'thcro were no funds to meet it. Among other, members .who called yesterday for their mileage, was Mr. Wise, who stated that this was the first time such a thing has happened under tho govern ment, since its establishment. I learn from an authen tic source that there is upwards of half- q million Cheeks on tho Treasurer's table which cmiiiot ho can celled for want of funds. The question naturally arises, what has-bccomc of tho money, which accord jug to jhe estimates of Secretory Woodbury were so needlessly borrowed? On* thc first of January last; it will he recollected, there were on hand $1,500,000; now here is a deficit in tho Treasury of upwards of $700,000, acknowledged, , and checks and drafts due, which ought to be paid, of $500,000 more, Tho loan and issue of Treasury notes, amounting to $12,000,000 added to the revenue flowing from customs, has all come into the hands of the Government What, I ask again, has of the money; It has been squan dered for some purpose unknown to the country, and we now present the degrading spectacle of a, bankrupt nation. And wo are brouglit— to-this disgraceful position in the first year of Whig ascpijdancy. How have that party carried out their principles of reform so loudly proclaimed previous »-to and during tire late presidential'canvass, and their promises to expose and correct abuses, and curtail extravagant expenditures?' Let their acts of the Extra Scss-ion, and the facts de tailed above speak. If the dcvelopemcnts which,will hc mailc during the present session docs notsi/lccn the Whigs, then.l am mistaken. 'No wonder that An xoi.n, denies his work, and pio:laigiB tl i* no Whig Administration.' The obloquy Heavy for them to bear. It is weighing them dovyn to the cqrth, aigl they are endeavoring to lice from tho vast sea of public indignation which is rolling rapidly on to overwhelm them.

Judges Barton Conrad h dt livered opinions agrec'nj in the view that tho presentment was irrcgidw, illegal, and unconstitution al. That it was illegal, inasmuch as they had no right to summon, swear, arid examine witnesses where no primary hearing of tho defendants has been bad. By common law a Grand Jury haslio right to administer apd by statute law they have only the right to administer oaths to such witnesses as are sent np to them by the prosecuting ofticpr, and endorsed upon the hill ; and that it was unconstitutional as the persons presented xvcje first used as witnesses—and then, up-' on-the information obtained from themselves, without havingJhc right which is constitutionally granted to every individual to he heard by counsel in his own.de fence., Judge Doran also'favored the quashing; he considered the irregularity of the proceedings if tho Grand Jury consisted in summoning and not iu swear ing the witncsscss. - Tho’niatter, it is understood, will bo brought before the next Grand Jury. A number of petitions, resolutions memorials were presented nijd referred. Mr. Benton took the floor and made n regular lenocU-down speech of about two hon,rs against the Bankrupt Law. with a view to postpone its coming into operation on the first of February. AftcfMr. B. took his seat Mr. Hemikhson replied in a speech .of some 15 or 20 minutes. lie was followed by Messrs. WnifJUT and Calhoun, the latter of whom moved an amendment to.the motion of Mr. Benton with a view to effect a total repeal of the Law, and so for os it ap peared to me proved conclusively the impossibility of carry ing ou.t the measure as it now stands. • A message, was received from the.

That the little leaver} nr Mississippi will leaven the whole moss, tpul that tho people will pay the Stale debts, before Unco years n,t the ballot box, is clear to demonstration. That it should be-so would leave room fur discussion; as undoubtedly much migljt bo said on both side?; one,thing however is cer tain that reason is slow fo bp convinced, when interest prompts a ditlcrcnt course. Slates are independent sovereignties, without souls or bodies, and not liable to bo sued. The people ore the principle which although undoubted, the community are slow to understand, and slower to act upon. A light is felt. People are beginning to understand their rights, .that they are not serfs of office holding dema gogues, subject implicitly, to obey the mandates of their rulers, hut are tho free, and independent rulers of the land, who have only to epoak through the ballot box and be obeyed. In the exercise of this prerogative, the popular will may sometimes err, yet it were better so, than by remaining passive, tacitly to deprive our selves of our constitutional rights, and subject ourselves to unjust taxation, To say unjust taxation would be to use the mildest phrase tho circumstances would al low; for if the whole internal improvement system of Pennsylvania, from first to last, has not* been a system of unjust, oppressive, extravagant, wasteful and un constitutional measure's, language hojf losfits meaning.

Uncon stitutional, because the people never delegated this power to.tho Legislature, as it-isno where expressed in the Constitution ol tho Slate, and thp people are neither morally nor. civilly’bound for the action of the Legislature I when it tfapscends the written constitution.

A decision to this dice; wps.iutidc ijot long.since by tho Supremo Court of the State of Connecticut, and perhaps in some other of the New England Slates, which at- once put an end to the In ternal improvement system. A decision on this sub ject by the Supreme CouU of Pennsylvania would ho important at thy present juncture, us if determined, as we have reason to expect, in favor of jlic. people, it would do much to remove the.conscientious scruples of those. who are disposed to, look at this subject in a nipral point of-view.

What heart is there that would.no( rejoice to hear by the arrival of the next Steamer, that a revolution lujd overturned the present order of things in England, destroyed.forever their enormous debt, put an end ,to their unjust Tariff, rendered necessary to pay the interest on this debt, and by this means de priving millions of beings of the necessaries of life. Is there n patriotic heart but would rejoice nt such news! Let us look at fmine._ ques tioned the propriety of the Congress of'the U.

Extract of a letter to the Editor, dated Washington, Dec. 29, 1841 ARISTIDES. The present session of Congress presents itself .ns one highly interesting to’ the country. Thus far little mon? than preparatory steps have been taken, but both brandies ore apparently honestly deliberating on meas ures that will lend to the prosperity of the country— and evidently deeply impressed with the magnitude of the work before them. , The President has redeemed his pledge by present ing to the people, what lie no doubt conceives to be*, a safety to the Revenue, and litguluior of the currency —that the Representatives of |hc people will so decide, is yet to be delcnnined, ' That the condition of the currency is highly. dis eased, will not dar,c to be disputed, but that it will be restored to a healthy condition by administering gov ernment stimulants is certainly questionable. That the purgative operaton which it si now undergoing, and which lias bem brought on by excess, will of itself if left alone cure the disease with n promise of longevity, is, I think, worthy of consideration. The reference of the Tariff question is still before .the House, it lias taken a. wide range and has invited animated debates—efforts * arc using to make the vote on the question of reference, a test of the Tariff and anU-Tariff strength of the House—it will be found I think not to be entirely so. ! The unexampled and exhausted condition of lbe> Treasury is hut another of the proofs 'of-Whig reform. The Treasury is at this, moment unable to supply the means necessary to the payment of the bread and beef of the members of Congress.- The expenditure of over thirty millions of dollars presents the best evidence of Whig economy, and an empty Treasury thobefct evi dence of good.financicririg. _ - FROM Letter to the Editor, dated Tuesday, Jan. 4, 1342.
