.,irp will have a direct tendency to diminish
die trade on our i'uhlic Work-; to affect the
j-v-t.-rn market ; and materially to decrease
the revenue ot the State. Resuits of a chnrac
•cr =. important should warn the Legislature
that speedy and energetic action is required,
ami that measures dictated by justice and po!-
ny, should be resorted to with a view to the
removal of the evil.
The expression of our opinions on questions
,D re directly belonging to the National Govern
ment, is a right arising from the nature of our
,r,?iiiutions, and where they are intimately con
nected with the interests of the people, becomes
a duty not to be disregarded. The representa
tives in Congress of tikis State and the citizens,
..ware of the tendency of measures on the pros
jvritv of their constituents, and knowing the
responsibility of their exalted position, must
regard with becoming favor, a deliberate de
claration of public sentiment from the State
they represent. Entertaining these views, and
persuaded that questions of v ital importance to
the well-being of our beloved Commonwealth
v. ill claim the attention of Congress, 1 have
deemed it right, on his occasion, briefly to refer
to a few of those which may be considered of
greatest consequence to the welfare of the peo-
pie.
The adjustment of the revenue laws for the ■
protection of the peculiar interests of Pennsyl
vania, must be regarded as a measure deeply
alecting all classes of society. In relation to
ti.e policy of the National Government on this
subject, the manufacturer, the artizan, the agri
culturalist. and the laborer, feel alike, that their
business and pursuits, are elevated or depressed
as protection is afforded or withheld. In the
lii-torv of the-past, they are furnished with les
sons tor the future. The events of the past
season have afforded conclusive evidence, in the
closed doors and deserted buildings of the man- <
ufactories; in the distresses of the laborer, and
t general depression of profitable industry, of
tne imperative necessity for a system of laws
which will sustain, against foreign competition,
the employments of our citizens. When profi
table investments and useful capital arc stricken
down: when surplus produce finds diminished
prices; and when labor is depressed, and indus
trious operatives are thrown out of employ;—
heither party dogmas, nor local interests, nor
sectional jealousies, should prevent a united and 1
energetic effort in our National Representatives
to restore the general prosperity.
On the application for the admission of new
States into the Union, the subject of the exten
sion of slavery, will claim the attention of Con
gress. Our Southern brethren, united by long
,sociatioß and habit with this institution, and j
depending upon it in a large degree for their do
me-tic comfort and commercial advantages, will j
not willingly allow of its exclusion from terri- j
t ri"s belonging to the General Government.
No disturbance is Contemplated of their rela- !
t;ons therewith, in States where it now exists.
Holding their slaves by compromise and conces
sion, it would involve on our part, a breach of J
futh, and an interference with the sovereignty
of sister republics to intermeddle with their so
cial policy, or to controvert the legality of their
domestic relations. Whatever injury may be
indicted on Northern interests from the jealous
ies incident to the existence of the institution.
s,nd the effort to prostrate free labor, a sacred
regard for our pledged faith admonishes us to
suffer, rather than attempt reformation where
err authority will not be acknowledged. The
extension of the evil beyond its present limits,
discloses a very different feature. Ihe consent
of the free States of the Union to its further
progress, would evince an ignorance of their .
true interests, of the rights ot justice and hu
manity, and an indifference to the character and
c gnity of their common country. \Nhcrethe-e
are implicated, it is an abandonment of duty to
compromise. So fully were the views of the
f.xenjtive expressed on the subject ui the Ta
riff, and the extension of slavery, in a former
message, that a reference to them here, as em- :
t racing his present sentiments thereon, would (
appear to be sufficient.
The dissemination among the people of mfor- ,
mation affecting their peace and prosperity, j
should be regarded as a measure of sound wis
dom, and should be shackled by no unnecessary
exactions. To give to the citizens cf one sec
tion of a common country, a correct knowledge
of the wants, the opinions, and general condition j
of the peopie of other portions thereof, should
be the aim of all w ue legislation on the subject.
Nothing would tend more strongly to dissipate
sectional alousics and dislikes, and to unite in
sentiments of neighborly kindness, every part of
this great confederacy. Intercourse, whether
produced bv the agency of Railroads, or of
Telegraph ; by personal or written communica
tions is an agent to heal dissentions, and to
foster social charities, more potent than nation
al laws. To tax beyond the neces-ities of gov
ernment, the intercourse of our citizens, creates
a harrier to the dissemination ufknow ledge ; and
assists in estranging the affections of the differ
•Tit portions of the Republic. In this view ol
the subject the Halts of Hostage charged by the
National Government, becomes a question of
deep importance, and sound wisdom would dic
tate a reduction of present charges.
It cannot fail to be perceived that the obser
vations in relation to postage, as connected with
rational intercourse, applies with equal force to
improvements in the mode of travel between re
mote sections of the country. Whatever facil- ;
hates free communication among the citizens,
strengthens the unity of government Whether
from the character of the country and toe nature
' f its surface, it is practicable to construct a
great national thoroughfare from the Mississippi j
to the Pacific Ocean, has not been fully ascer
tained ; hut it must be evident, that such an im
provement would be of an inestimable value, to (
every portion nf the 1 nion. In addition to the
opportunities it would afford of an interchange
o: hospitalities between the people of remote
••ef.'tionf, it would not fail to be loaded with a
trade a- profitable to the country, as it would
be important to different localities. 1 o Penn
sylvania, its benefits ran scarcely be imagined.
The improvements already made arid those in
progress iti thi- >u,tc. , onriecting with the Pub
lic Works of other Ktate*. w ill soon form one
unbroken chain of eorofnunieation from the At
lantic to the Mississippi. Were this gigantic .
work completed, no man • an estimate the solid j
and social advantages which must ensue to every !
section of country united therewith; and in no
place would its salutary result - be more effectu
al, than within our own borders. 'The subject
ii eminently worthy the serious attention of the
I.eerislnture. .. . ,
In a faithful adherence to the National ( .in
stitution, as the same has been expounded by the
cage- and patriots of other day s, the people of
I'e.nnsylvania rely for the perpetuation of their
political, social and religious lib. rty Although
in i* provisions may be found the a< knowledge
itii r.lof principles they do not approve, it is es
' crned bv them us the fundamental law of the
< <.ui try, and they reverence it as the consum
mation of wisdom and patriotism, devil.. > o ic
on if welfare. When sectional interests and
.jealousies contend for supremacy, and sectional
ughts an to he determined ; when questions ue-
Ueen StaU a are controverted, and disregard o!
national laws is manifested; iri peace and war,
m provperitv and adversity, in foreign or do
- tie diffi iiltics ' the citizens of Pennsylvania
t.in with ahidin ' confidence ti the National
Conslitution. Neither the thirst f or power;!
nor the phrenzy of party ; nor the prostration
ot their peculiar interests ; can shake their alle
giance to the National Government, or raise
with litem the traitor cry of disunion.
J he sentiments expressed, and the language
used on the subject by the father of his country,
ate so appropriate to the period in which we
live, that 1 have deemed it proper to call vour
attention to the following brief extract from his
r art-well Address :
1 he unity of government which constitutes
you one people, is also dear to you. It is justly
so; for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your
real independence ; the support of tranquility
at home ; your peace abroad ; of your safety ; of !
your prosperity ; of the very liberty which you !
so highly prize, But as it is easy to foresee, i
that, from different cau e cs and from different j
quarters, much pains will be taken, many arti
fices employed, to weaken in your minds the I
conviction of this truth ; as this is the point of ■
your political fortress, against which the batte
ries of internal and external enemies will he
most constantly arid actively (though often cov
ertly and insiduously) directed ;—it is of infinite I
moment that you should properly estimate the !
immense value of your national union to your col- i
lective and individual happiness; thai you should
cherish a cordial, habitual,and immovable attach
ment to it, accustoming yourselves to think and
speak of it as the palladium of your political
safety and prosperity ; watching for its preser
vation with jealous anxiety, discountenancing
whatever may suggest even a suspicion that it
can, in any event, be abandoned: and indignant
ly frowning upon the first dawning of every at
tempt to alienate any portion of our country
trom the rest, or to enfeeb'e the sacred ties
which now link together the various parts."
Gentlemen, In I lie performance of a constitu
tional obligation, the measures deemed necessary
for your consideration, have been stated as con
cisely as their importance and nature would
permit.
To the representatives of the people attaches
the duty of enacting such Jaws as the welfare of
our constituents may require, and to their care
and delibeiate action are cheerfully confided the
safety, honor, and prosperity of the Common
wealth. \VM. F. JOHNSTON.

Our disappointment last week in not

to these papers, to give which we have
omitted several columns of advertisements.

VS The Legislature of Pennsylvania
was organized en Tuesday by the election
of V. Best as Speaker of the Senate by
the aid of the whigs, defeating Braw lev,
the locofoco caucus nominee—an event
which has caused considerable fluttering
in that party. . In the House, John S. \|u-
Calmont was elected Speaker.
The Governor's Message was delivered
on Wednesday.
PROtELimCiS OF COYGRFSS.
in the Senate various resolutions have
been offered, calling for information on dil

ing privilege to Mrs. Polk has passed both
houses.
In the House, the standing committees
were announced on the 51st. Notwith
standing the fuss made by the Southern
members in relation to slavery, we find that
Mr. Cobb lias given the abolitionists a
hearing on some ol the most important
; committees —Allen, of Massachusetts being
on the Committee on the Disiriet ol ( o
luiubia ; Preston King, ol New N ork, on
the Judieiarv ; and Giddmgs, ol Ohio, on
Territories. MR. CALVIN, the member
from this district, is on the Committee on
Public Expenditures.
A large number of petitions asking a
reduction ol postage, were presented and
referred.
The Democrat copies a long rigmarole
from the Washington Union on the Presi

which may be estimated from the fael that
it denies the right of Gen. Taylor to send
such a message to Congress !

From the Far West.
ST. LOUIS, Dec. 28, 18-19.
Mr. J. 11. Kinkhead arrived in this city
yesterday, from a journey across the
Plains, lie left the city of the Salt Lake, '
in company with thirty-five others, on the
19th of October. The party were not mo
lested by the Indians on the roue, nor did
they meet with any accident. The snow
on the Plains w as very deep, or the party
would have reached here several days i
sooner.
After considerable difficulty, and a long
talk, the military commandant at Fort Lar- !
amic lias succeeded in concluding a treaty
with tlic Pawnee Indians, which it was
thought would be observed on the part off
the Indians.
A new colony of .Mormons has been i
formed, and they have made a settlement
two hundred and fifty miles south of" Salt
Lake City. I vventy-five Mormon preach- >
ers crossed the Plains vvith Mr. Kinkhead. ;
It is their intention to preach Morinonisni i
over the whole world, and make new con
verts to Mormunism.
For the Gazette.
Mr. Editor: —lf I tememheraright,an
act was passed bv the last Legislature giv
ing the Borough authorities power to ap
point a ll'ooil ('order. Can any one tell
whether the law has been acted on, and il
so, where the officer can he found. For
one, I would sooner pay a fair price for
corded wood, than to buy in the present
random system ; and I have no doubt a
majority of the farmers would prefer to
sell by the cord, as in that ease they would
always he paid for what thev bring, and
neither more nor less.
A CONSUMER.
•
E( o\oll Y.--The amount of money deposited
in the Savings bank of Great Britain is over;
421,000,000 sterling, or more than one hundred
millions of dollars ' This is an enormous amount
of money, and is the savings of many who have
lab jred hard, and by pursuing a habit of -tru t
economy they have succeeded in maintaining
themselves ha: ' nely, and laid up a compe
tency for old nge. The question then arises,
w hat is true economy: Jn the exercise of econ
omy it is essentia! to have good judgment—a cor
rect notion of matters and things. Ev< ry indi
vidual has in the courscof a hf< time to purchase
a large amount of goods, even if for ids or her
own support, mere!). It will, in the course of '
years, amount to a considerable sum. Then tin
way to practice economy in tins respect is to j
buy for < ASH, as it is very dangerous to go in J
debt, particularly with the storekeepers. Buv
for ( vs H, and buy always GOOD <.<;ot>s, a;id at the
lowest prices ; and to enable the public to get 1
goods of every grade and quality, at the lowest
possible prices that they can be sold over tin
cost of manufacturing, T.'. L. JONES IS conduct
ing a large establishment on the. < AOI SYSTEM, ;
and his business has now grown to such an enor
mous extent that he buys nearly all hi- gr o •!-
directly of the importers and manufacturers for '
cash, and -ells them at the smallest considerable '
profits, and in this way he is enabled to sell his ;
goods at least TWENTY PER CENT, lower than all >
other merchants. Let any one make a calcula
tion of the amount of goods they would proba
bly buy in one year, and they will find Hut 20
percent, or one-fifth of the amount would be a
considerable item. I.et this run on for some
years, and they will have a sum saved in amount
of no little consequence.
It is now admitted by all other merchants, as
well as by the public generally, that C. L. JONES i
has the largest and best selected stock of goods
ever shown before in Lewistown, and that he !
can undoubtedly buy goods cheaper than any j
other merchant—his business being so large anil '
purchasing in such immense quantities.
Country persons visiting Lewistown to pur- !
good- for CASH will -oon be convinced of
the foregoing facts, by calling at the Celebrated
.Yrir Cheap Cash Store of C. L. JONES, and in pro
portion to the population of this country with
Great Britain, the amount cf savings might he j
quite equal, and probably greatly exceed the i
estimate made.
