THIS STATE DEOT-WUIG SLANDERS, The Federal papers—ever ready Id misrepresent and indulging lliis passion by falsely accusing ,Gov. Bioler having, since his induction'ihto. office, increased the State debt “ over. omrmiUiooof dollars,”' ■ Now, for the facts., • ?,• .Immediately after the inauguration oIT.GoV; Bigler, it. was* found that theSlateTreasury wad,, in a manner, empty. The February interest Was nearly due, and the Governor, for the purpose of sustaining the credit pf the Commonwealth', I’rec ommended to the Legislature the propriety of ma king a temporary loan, for the purpose of mooting the interest falling due.- The Legislature Deco ded promptly to the recommendation, ondtiiolban was accordingly made. 'This, as wo liave said, was a lcmporary \oan, and; we'are informed, has been cancelled and re-paid. The loan had to he made-Mhe February, interost was due,-and the credit of the Slate at stake. Gov. Jonnston, who prated so much to the people about;* 1 his sinking fund, ’’ had left thd Treasury, empty. It was his, duty to have made provision for meeting the Feb ruary interest, but, like Joseph Ritner, he saddled ; the' debts of his administration upon his successor ! In office. Thus has it been with every Whig Governor the State has ever had. When Ritner went out of office Federal editors were loud in their i declarations that he had not increased the Slate debt;, but they did not Inform their readers that be left debts behind him-*debls against the Com monwealth, and which matured a few monlhB,af ter Gov. Porter assumed the duties of the Execu tive chair, amounting to millions qf 'doUar8 t w\i\i an empty Treasury for a- resort.- Gov. Porter was compelled to ask the Legislature to* make' sever al loans, for the purpose of meeting the ,heavy claims against the Slate, contracted by the Ritner administration. And then it was that the Whigs, liberal fellows that they are,exclaimed, “ oh, how the Loeofocoi are increasing the Stale debt.” The debt was increased, it is true, but it had been con traded by the Whigs impower. Whig Gover nors are very ready to contract debts, but they are not so ready to pay thepn, and when tho Demo crats make provision lo meet these debts, they are accused of “ increasing the Slate debt !*’ So 100 with Gov. Johnston. He was well aware that the February interest was almost due, when ho vacated the Executive chair, but instead of making provision, as he should have done;, for meeting the Interest, (for it was a debt that be longed to Ills administration,) be left this claim for Gov. Dioler to meet, and handed him over an empty Treasury to do it with. . Gov. Bjoler, a man ready for ©very emergency,- tempo™, ry loan for tho purpose of paying off this debt against the Johnston administration, and for this act, liberal minded Federalism accuses him with increasing the Stale debt.*' So mud) for the $300,000 loan. The next charge of Federalism against Gov. Bigler is, that hb has negotiated a loan of $B5O, 000 for the completion of the North Branch Ca nal. The Governor, in a message to the Legisla lure, strongly urged tho completion of this impor tant State improvement, and the Legislature empowered him to make a loan to the amount above named, to bo appropriated to the comple lion of the work. Gov. Johnston himself, on sev eral occasions, urged tho Legislature to make pro -1 vision for completing tins canal, and thus save the $3,000,000 already expended on it. If this loan of $850,000, therefore, is an increase of the Stale debt, Gov. Johnston is as censurable as jyn y other man in tho State, for on moro than one .occasion he urged that the work should be completed, and ho very well knew that it could not bo done with out resort to a loan. But this loan of $850,000, for the North Branch canal, Instead of being a loss to the Stale, wilt, beyond all question, prove a revenue. The Slate has already expended over $3,000,000 on (hi? work, and it is estimated that $850,000 will dnfet>lete the same, and make it profitable to the Commonwealth. Policy, econo my and prudence would dictate the propriety of completing the work at as early a period as possi. bio. When completed, It is confidently asserted by good judges, that (he receipts Into the Statu Treasury from tho work, will, in a few years,pay both the principal and interest of all that has been expended on it. Indeed, it Is believed that it will bo tho most profitable section of our public im provements. And yet because Gov. Bigler fa vored ibis policy—the early completion of (be North Branch Canal—and the Legislature author ized a loan for that purpose, tho Federalists pretend to bo again shocked, and exclaim against “an increase of the State debt/' If they are se rious—lf they think tho North Branch should not be finished, and (hat tho $3,000,000 already ex-: pended on it should b 6 lost to tho State, and lho| work abandoned, why do they not open their bat teries on Gov. Johnston, who so strenuously urged tho"complolion of the wotkl This would not suit their purpose, however, which is misrep resentation and double-dealing. There is no danger of (ho State debt being increased by Gov. Bigler. Our word for it, tho State will bo much better olf at the end of his administration than it was at its commoncomc||nt.

Cass was advocating tho bill for tho recapture of fugitive slaves, when some gentlemen wo -could nemo were hesitating about what side of the question they should toko, Tho abovo extract, therefore, wo consider a mere slander. 1 From Gen. Cabs’ speech, delivered in the U. 8. Sen ate, March 13, 1850, wo take tho following q^tract: 1 11 My own opinion is, sir, that wo should take op tho bill fqr tho recapture of fugitive slaves, reported by tho Judiciary Committee. lam disposed to sus pend oil other discussions, und to lay osidc nil other business, with a view to act upon that bill, without unnecessary delay, and .to pass it in -such form as would bo acceptable to a majority of this body. That is a point upon which tho South feels most acutely, and in regard In which it lias the most serious cause of complaint. 1 have heard but one man iu-this body I deny tho existence of this ovil, or tho justice and I necessity of providing an adequate remedy. . “ Tho act of 1793 provided that the Stale Wingis- (rales in tho various cities and counties of the Union should carry that law into effect. This provision has been since rendered nogalory, ns these officers will not now art, and, consequently, tho judges of tho United States alone have jurisdiction over the subject. They are not enough for that purpose, and (ho law, therefore, requires an amendment. I, for one; am willing to taka op tho subject, and provide (ho ne cessary means of carrying tho provision of tho Con stitution into full effect. Such a procedure would have tho very best effect upon tho South at (his time. It would be a pledge of our sincerity, and of our de sire to do justice to that groat section ofour common country.” Commonwealth vs. Bank or Pennsylvania.— This important and much discussed suit, on a claim of the Commonwealth against tho Bank for $173,- 000, tax on dividnnds, under tho act of 1848, was tried in tho Court of Common Pleas of Dauphin county last week, before his honor, Judge Pearson. The Bank resisted (lie claim on the ground that the act of 183 C, re-chartering the Bank, contained in it self evidence of a'special contract, that in consid eration of a loan to tho Commonwealth of 91000,- 000 at a premium of 5 per cent., it should, for the period of its ro-chartor, be exempt from all other claims against it, other' than those specially named in tho act, of which lax on dividends was not ono. On ihe part of Iho Commonwealth ll was con tended, that (hough tho intention of the Legislature of 1830 and subsequently, might have been to <*x honoralo tho bank from tax on dividends, yet they never expressly or Impliedly gave up the powc »• of taxation at any future time, and that the act of 1818 was but tho exercise of that power. His honor finally ruled tho question as one of law, and decided tho question in favor of tho Commonwealth. Tho Slate will therefore receive the $172,000 tax. -Right.
