Tate annual, message; of Gov.
Bigler, has given more universal satisfac
tion to tjie people of Pennsylvania, than
perhaps any previous similar document. —
It is "Pennsylvanian all through, and
seems to bo appreciateilas such- by nil who
read it, wliethfer Whigs pr'DempcVats.
„ That pArt of it ‘devoted to corporations
and the .responsibility of stockholders, wo

teristic pf its author. , The sentiments Jie
here expresses are not of yesterday only.
They are the same that he has felt and
expressed for years —at his quiet homo,
among his neighbors—pot for 1 political ef
fect ; but as sound npd, wholsome reforms,
that all honest men and well-wishers of
their country should adopt and practice.
That the Legislature will be guided by
these wholesome, suggestions is our most
ardent wish.
ORGANIZATION OF THE LEGISLATURE.
Tho House of Representatives organiz
ed on the 4th inst., by the election of Mr,
Schell, of Fulton, Speaker, and on .the
following day re-elected Mr. Jack, Clerk —
both Democrats.
In the Senate, nn organization was not
e dieted until Wednesday, - when Mr. Car
sox, the whig caucus candidate, was final
ly elected Speaker.
Both Houses are therefore in full opera
tion, and from the character of most of
the members, we think that a profitable
session may be looked for.
The complaint is almost universal among
all clashes, that money is unusually scarce
at present in Clearfield county. That such
is tho fact so far as the proper uses of mo
ney is concerned, we mako' no question }
but,that thore is actually a less quantity of
money among, the people of this county,
than there usually is at this season of the
year, we have strong doubts. We have
searched in vain for causes why there
should be a scarcity. It must be admitted
that' the sales of produce during last spring
and summer, brought into4he county quite
as much as those of any former, with the
exception of the previous yeah But little
money, comparatively has gono out of the
county for grain—for, with the slock of
of the year previous remaining on hand at
last harvest, we think there was quite an
average crop, particularly of wheat and
rye. Our been enlarg
ing their stock, prntty generally, we be
live, and their number has somewhat in
creased. A great number of our citizens
have also paid off their lands, and lifted
their <Jeeds. which doubtless required in
the aggregate, a good round sum. Still
we are not sure that an actual scarcity of
money exists. It is generally remarked
among business men, and indeed among
all classes, that the relative amount of gold
and silver, as:compared with paper money,
is much greater than it over was before.—
And in this fact, wc believe, will be found
the true secret of the apparent scarcity of
money. The money now in tho hands of
the people, or a largo portion of it, is the
real money—not tho representative of
ney—and they do not os readily part with
it as they would if it. was paper money. —
Now, to remedy this evil—for'it is noth
ing else—it is only necessary to banish
paper money, or at least the lower de
nominations of bank notes. There would
then bo less disposition to horde up specie,
as thero-iwouldi bp less danger, of it being
driven out of circulation.-

if so, why should ho nbt shell out accord

Darjng Robbery. —The house of John
Beaumont, some two or three miles west,
of this place; was entered through a win

WINTEB AT LAST
After ten days of January giving no in,
diention of winter, our lumbermen,began
to get quito uneasy, and the price of tim
ber was about taking a mighty leap up
ward ; but now the tune is changed, and
the ground is covered with ,snow to the
depth of 20 inches or more.
LOO MEETING
At a meeting of the citizens of Morris
township, convened by public notice, on
the Ist of January 1853, at MorrisdaleHo
tcl, Samuel Merrelljvas appointed Presi
dent and Samuel C. Thompson Secretary.
Whereupon the following preamble and
resolutions were agreed to, after a suitably
introduction by James Allport.
Moshannon creek has ueHl
declared a public high-way for more than
twenty-five years, and the navigation of
it by rafts has been at the sacrifice of hu
man life, and always unsafe and unprof
itable, it is obvious that the floating of
loose saw-logs is the only safe and advan
tageous mode oflumberingon'aaid stream,
therefore,
Resolved , That any law which may be
deemed necessary and ,proper fo stop log
floating on navigable Streams iti othetflo
catioris, cannot beCo considered as regards
Moshannon creek, and that Cur Senator,
Byron D: Hamlipj; and our member of As
sembly, Aaron S. Arnold, are hereby in
structed to use their best exertions to ex
empt said creek from the
such law. v-^ 1
Resolved , That contracts are' now en
lered into by citizens of this township ex
tending in their provisions to the year
1855, the obligations of Which will be pos
itively impaired by the enactment of such
law, and consequently will be clearly un
constitutional according to the tenth sec
tion of iho first 1 article of the Constitution
of the United 1 States. ( - r; ; : .
Resolved, That- wo huve nofaithin the
soundness of any man’s Democracy who
advocates the enactment of special laws for
the-benefit of particular interests,-and we
will oppose the nomination-and election of
all such persons teb public effioes. i

Messrs. Editohs:— On Monday
iDg last, 1 happened to be present at the
exhibition of Paradise School, No. I,and
was much pleased with the creditable
manner in which both teacher and schol
ars acquitted themselves. Althpugb it,
was hastily; gotten up, and the children,
beiDg all small, it excelled the , most sam
guino expectations of all present. The.
performance consisted in various.origjnat
songs, which were adapted to the occa,i
sipn; ■ dialogues, fireside talk and cotnpo-/
sitions; all of, which were both amusing/
and instructive. The selections differed
greatly from those of other exhibitions,
which I have attended; the language,
ing chaste and purp and the lessons im
parted from them of a strictly moral
ture. In fact it was op intellectual
which wo seldom meet with in these
of dollars and cents, and.rvhich has estab
lished the character of the, teacher, Mi»»
Henrietta Goodfellow, above alj cort*

The whole affair -passed of quietly and

and scholars.; Roping to hear of similar
