Amu THE SroiLS.—A bill has been reported in the House of Representatives, by a Federal member, Mr. SwartiweLder, lo legislate ohl of office the pro sent able and efficient Auditor General, and Surveyor General, end legislate in two good Federalists. Du ring the late political campaign wo heard a great deal about tho fell spirit of proscription practised by the Democrats. GoV. Johnson was quite eloquent on ' Ibis subject In his speeches delivered during his elec tioneering tour. Bat now that he is snugly fixed in . .the Executive chair, he forgets his former professions, . Vnd cannot find victims sufficient to satiate his op. ■•petite without appealing to the Legislature to help biro in bis. base work. Oh tho dishonesty and kna-, very of Federalism! ' Gen.

The Speaker* •hip of'the legislative body is a post belonging po* eußarly io, itself, and cannot bo filled except by one •' of Its.own members. If the parlies are equally di* vided,they eaonot go beyond the body, and draw upon the services of an “ outsider.” Not so with the of * fiee of Bt&te Treasurer.

J Comment on this fact is tmneccs. sary—it speaks for itself, — Herald, True enough, Mr. Herald, . Democratic newspa* orators, previous to the election, did charge the Federalists with having formed on.**unholy at lianco” with the Native faction—and the result of llie election- was evidence, strong as. holy . writ, that the Democrats spoke the truth when they , made the charge. By this 4 * unholy alliance’* eight, Demo, cratio candidates'for Assembly were defeated in Philadelphia county. By . this 41 unholy alliance” William F. Johnson was elected and by this ‘‘unholy alliance’*- the Slate .of Pennsylvania was carried for old Zack, which secured his election to tiio Presidency. It was by bargain and sale—by deception and fraud—by base truckling and a,cow. ardly surrender of all principle, that enabled Federal?; ism to triumph. The Federalists, aware that their principles were unpopular with the people, not only repudiated thoso.prjnolples, bnt ’.plso .denied their name! William F. Johnston himself was the head and front of this. ** bargain and sale’* business, and vislted Philadelphia, a short time previous to the election, for the express purpose of 44 driving a bar. gain** with the Natives. He then and. there, In consideration of the Native vole, promised, in case : of tils election, to appoint a certain number of Natives to office, and Tor once .in his life he was as good ss his word—he faithfully-lived up to the contract, and has richly rewarded his Native friends in his recent , appointments. And yet the Herald, would insinuate that llio charge made by, the Democrat*, previous t 6 the election,, that tho Federalists and the Natives had leagued together for tho purpose of plunder, was not true. . Our neighbor was careful not to make o positive denial of the fact, for had he done so his conscience might havo troubled him for somo time to come. No, no, Mr. Herald , tho Democrats never had and never, will hove uny thing to do with the Native faction, and tho circumstance that two of.lhe Native, members voted, without solicitation, for Gen. Packer for Speaker of the House'amounts to noth* ing. It was.their pleasure to vote for him in prefer ence to the Federal candidate. Secretary of the Treasury. The Whig members from a meeting in tho Capitol at, Washington, op Saturday last, and adopted resolutions, asking from Gen. Tay lor tho appointment of ANDREW STEWART, Esq. of this Stale as Secretary of tho Treasury. Modest, very, but we feel satisfied Gen. Tuylor will not thank these Federal Congressmen for their interference.— “ Tariff Andy,” can’t come it over olc| Zack quite so easy a* that. This Andrew Stewart Is tho same gentleman who circulated the base slanders against Gen. Cast—calling him’a public defaulter, a cowal'd, &c. We hope old Zack may treat him as ho deserves, and refuse lo appoint him.to any office. ' Ex«GoTcrnor Simula* In the. Stale Senate, Mr. Mason, from the Select Committee, lo whom was referred that portion of tho Governor's message which related tb lho laic Executive, made a report, in which they respond to tho sentiments expressed in the Governor's message in regard to the distinguished virtues and services ,of the illustrious deceased..

Uegular ruining has follow* ed there, and ip newyic) t ding considerable quantities. These washing of California are marvellously Hch; for we have (o believe what is certified to us by so many witnesses; bat th&y. are not the richest that ever werqsoen. Far front U. * Those of Brazil, in the mountains, b&qk of Rio Janeiro, in the time of Lord Anson's voyage, say one hundred ycaYs ago, were far richer $ and yet they havo been exhausted so long that all. memory of them is lnfet, arid their history only lives in old books.

They were worked by lopcpiire their fidelity and in* . dustry, wero usually allowed by Ihoir masters all the proceeds of the day übovo a given amount; and in thiii way many slaves became rich, purchased their, and then bought slaves of their own, lived in.splondor and opulence, and'iaid the foundation of families.

It is no matter who digs up the gold, or where it goes, the. digger will not cat it, and it will go where commerce will carry it.

The Governor adheres to the did protective tariff, which the Times llios explodes 1 Governor Johnson, in his message, asserts tho doc* trine that the homo market is the “only sure reliance" of the country. Tho falsity of this position is readi ly seen, when wo reflect that two* markets must be better than one. The homo market does not consume tho surplus productions v>f lhe Country. The people must bo. supported, whetbelfctbeyr be Collected togeth er in manufacturing establishments or scattered over a wide surface of tho earth {..whether they live in cities of isolated. Do the people consume more of the necessaries of life when living in towns or about factories, furnaces, and iron mills, than they do when living separate and |n the country? Wo think not! Thus it is Idle to suppose that because a portion of the people work together, which enables another por tion to sell them part of their productions, that (he homo market is preferable id oil others. . .
