LIiWISTOWN, I'A.
Friday Evening, April 2, 1852.
After four or five days of as disagree
able weather as could well be exported at
liiis season, the sun came out bright and
cheerful yesterday morning, to the great
joy of hundreds who were emplov ed in
moving kith and kin from one house to j
another. This morning it is again cloudy.
The latest foreign news has nothing of
special interest. lireadstuffs have still
further declined,— Flour being quoted at
20s. to 21s. Gd. [The British shilling is
worth about 22' cents.]
WHERE TIIE MONEY GOES ! — The llol
lidaysburg Standard says that several gen
tlemen who have been sent to the Portage
Railroad by the Canal Commissioners, are
unable to find the situations assigned them,
and accordingly locate to suit themselves !
I.>ne of them has taken post on the sunny
side of the railroad, and keeps tally on a
pine stick of the number of empty coal
cars going to the mountain !■!
The act to restrict the manufacture and
sale of Jiqiior passed the Senate finally on
Wednesday by two majority. It allows
the sale of liquor in quantities of not less
than thirty-one gallons.
The bill for borrowing $850,000 to fin
ish the North Branch Canal was also passed
finally in the Senate the other day. A
clause that the debt and interest should be
repaid out of the tolls was stricken out,
and the faith of the commonwealth pledged
for its redemption—which would seem to
show that its friends did not altogether rely
on their own statements. In this shape,
we are glad to say Mr. Sliter voted against
the measure.
The locofoco papers are at present en
gaged in " proving" tHat (Jen. Seott can
not secure the whig vote, and call him
" old Fuss and Feathers," with sundry
other hard names. They did the same
thing with Harrison and Taylor, but when
the election came, a story was told at the
ballot boxes that created no little howling
and gnashing of teeth. So look out for
" old Fuss and Feathers"—he'll kick up a
fuss here next November, and make fath
ers fly as he did among the gic.isers of
Mexico and the British in Canada.
We again invite attention to the meeting
to be held on Monday evening at the
Town Hall, for the purpose of taking pre
liminary steps to die formation of a com
pany to erect a Machine Shop—an enter
prise which, we are confident, would do
more to promote the real interests of Lew
istown than ten years of " talk and no
cider." The centre of an extensive trade,
that naturally found its way here, otir
citizens, we fear, were too much in the
habit of waiting for the "mountain to
come to Mahomet," instead of urging Ma
homet togo to the mountain, and thus much
in a manufacturing way that ought to have
been done here, has found a location else
where. Once aroused, however, to a
proper sense of our situation, and the fact
that if we possess one of the most fa
vorable locations in Pennsylvania.we ought
to use it—we may look for a healthy im
petus that, ten years hence, will make
people wonder such things were not em
barked in long ago. It is never too late to
learn, and all hands having had their wis
dom teeih pretty well cut bv this time, we
think they may now go ahead with
safety.
No city advertisements, pa\ able in trade,
are published in Iho Gazette.

The State Finances— Governor's
Message.
Governor Jiigler Iras evidently become
alarmed at the condition of onr finances,
and the reckless efforts of his party friends,
in and out of the Legislature, to plunge
the State into inextricable indebtedness.
The prudent management of Governor
Johnston not only averted all increase ot
debt during his term, but established a
sure means, if carried out, for a gradual
liquidation of the millions hanging over
the taxpayers ; and had the public works
been under his supervision, we believe lie
would have saved at least half a million
more which has either been stolen or
squandered under their present inefficient
management. Gov. Bigler knows lull
well tiiat it will not do for his administra
tion to create additional burthens, for the
purpose of feeding and enriching the few
hundreds who have already sucked the
life blood out of Pennsylvania, because
the time has gone by when taxpayers can
be gulled with impunity into the support
of men or measures, whether whig or
democratic, adverse to the public welfare.
He knows this well—and hence he recent
ly sent a message to the Legislature which
betrays the apprehensions but
too clearly. After recommending some
provision for the cancellation of matured
bonds, lie gives his views of the finances
and arrives at the conclusion that should
the improvements be visited bv anything
like the extent of damage that befell them
last year, they will yield no revenue!
The Coventor then reiterates It is con
viction that the North Branch Canal ought
to be completed, and the planes on the
Portage Railroad avoided, to do which, he
is in favor of borrowing the amount of
money needed.

Hie sides of the vessel, tearing large ragged
holes (much larger than the diameter of the
shell, and too irregular for plugging,) and .scat
