contemplated road were appointed, and the citi zens of that section of the State througtowllich the road passes came forward and subscribed lib erally, and there is no doubt if the Legislature will repeal the bill under consideration that the citizens of Ohio, will make the road, and without the aid of Boston or Nevi York capital. Sir, I think it must be apparent to every Senator on this floor, that the object of this bill is to divert the trade, as I said before, to take the route of the New York improvements. Besides it would be useless for our Canal Commissioners to have the canals opened early in the'spring with the view of securing the freight that is frozen up du ring the winter onthe western waters, if you per a direct line of railroad communications to New York and Boston. . . Now sir, I have no personal motive in oppos ing thi, bill, but I repeat that I am apprehen sive-of- its effect that it would impair the finan ces of the commonwealth, and be injurious to the Pennsylvania railroad, now being-made by the capital of citizens of this State. It is not only our duty, but the interest of the State, to protect them against foreign interference; 'besides, die State, will. derive a large income from this road if we do not pass laws to cripple its resources.— The State receives, besides the usual tax on cor porations, a tax of seventy-five cents on each and:every ton of freight passing over this road. Sir, by repealing this bill Ohio capital will make the road Mr. Roberts is locating through the middle counties of that State, giving us a continuous railroad with Cincinnati, the west, and with the lakes. Let this bill become a law, you will defeat this much desired project, and ' the Ohio and New York connection will be made by means of which the resources of our improve , ments will be diminished to a great extent, our great Pennsylvania railroad terminating at Pitts burg, we will then not have the far western trav el on our State and company improvements, con sequently we will not have the freight which Would otherwise come on our canals. Mr. Speaker, .I would have no objection to that road being made, if I did not think it inter fered not only with the best interest of our State improvements, but also with its finances. It is well known that this State has made improve- , ments at an expense of $40,000,000, and thus far we have not realized the interest on the in vestment of those impiovements. Sir, I. sincerely hope the Senate will take all , these facts into theirconsideration—for they are of great Importance. If lam wrong in my views I trust that some of the Senators interested in the bill will correct them and show me where I - , am mistaken. I would say to those Senators who are in favor of extending our State improve ments, that there are numerous memorials in the possession of the Senate, asking for the comple tion of the North Branch canal, anti I would ask them how they can, expect to obtain appropria tions for that object if they allow our neighbors of New York to divert the business from the main line of our public works, and consequently take from us those resources with which we expect to 'support our improvements 1 And sir, if this course of legislature be pursued, that the tax payers will be still further burthened, the State debt never paid, and the Commonwealth plunged into the greatest pecuniary embarrassment, from which it will never be able to free itself. Awful Retribution. A Mr. Weatherford, Sheriff of Schtiyler county, in this State, and ex-officio' Collector of the Comity Revenue, conceiving a design tocheat the Common. - wealth out of some $2200, which he had collected —left the money in the care of his wife, part in silver.and part in paper, with the 'declaratiOn thiat he would be gone several days, and enjoined upon her that she should permit no one to stay all night at the house during his absence. At night a trav eller, rather an aged man,applied for entertainment. The woman, at first refusing under instructions of her husband, was finally persuaded to permit him to remain. About 11 or 12 o'clock the same night some persons demanded entrance into the house. and upon being permitted to come in, they were found to he disguised as negroes, and immediately demanded of the woman money; which they said they knew was in the house. The woman handed them paper money. They told her there was also silver money which she must surrender. She re-- plied that she would go up stairs, (where the trav eller was lodging) and get it. She informed the old gentleman of the state of things below—he told her to take one of two pistols which he had—to put the money into her apron, with the pistol con cealed behind it, and when either of the robbers 'came forward to take it, to,fire and he would save another of them with the remaining pistol. She did as instructed, and one of the men fell dead at her feet. The old man fired and killed another, and the third made his escape. Upon examination it was found that the guilty husband had fallen by the hand of his own wife. Thus it is that a mys terious Providence even in this world meets out punishment to those who transgress his Laws.— Hannibal Journal. A Frightful Occurrence. PHILA/JiLIIRIA, Feb. 20, 1849 A frightful scene of confusion occurred this morning in the public school-house in Catharine street, Southwark, in consequence of an alarm of fire dreadfully frightening the six hundred children in the building. The second' floor was occupied by the girls, and about thirty of these were in a front class, when they were frightened by a flame bursting up through the heater, originating from a quantity of paper having been thrown into the heater by the mischievous boys on the lower story. The screams of the girls in the class-room. spread the alarm throughout the building, and the teachers found...lt impossible to restrain the children from rushing to the various outlets. One of the back staircases became blocked up, from the outside door not being open wide enough to allow their egress; "and in the consternation, those above corn menced clambering over the balustrade falling down to the floor beneath. Finally the whole bal ustrade gave way, falling upon those who were below, and carrying with it all leaning against it, making a confused mass of struggling humanity several feet deep. The rush from above continuing, prevented those beneath irom being extricated un til, in addition to their wounds and bruises, they were nearly dead from the effects of suffocation, and the weight of the mass on top of them. The following are the names of those setiously hurt:— Caroline Hess:leg broken in two places; Sarah Jane Srp.lth, daughter of Sommers Smith, bruised and trampled upon; Hannah Brewer, bruised and Suffocated ; Josephihe Martin, Agnes Mowatt, Ca tharine Holland, Anna Scott, and Elizabeth Wright. Miss Hess is believed to be the only one danger ously injured, but the others will, doubtless, long feel the effects of the disaster. An examination into the heater shows that there itad been . an accumulation of paper, and even old and d slate frames, which had been fired at last by the,l3eat, or had, perhaps, been ignited by the boys having thrown a match into it. The occurrence caused an immense sensatior A , as Well to the children, as among the parents living the neighborhood, who rushed to the spot, - " .i nns for the gaiety of their children. Female Emigrants., Mrs. Fsrmassr,whose husband died at San Fran cisco last fall, is going to that place to look after his-affairs, and proposes (so say the New York papers) to take with her a large number of female passengers, under twenty-five years of age for wives tor the-emigrants now there, who may be disposed to take helpmates. These emigrants, the prstegees of Mrs. Farnham, are to be of unquestion ably good character and standing, and they will be good looking too, we suppose—some pretty, some beautiful, perhaps, and all possessing qualities essen tial to-good wives. Mrs. Farnham is supported by most respectable and well-known names, so that there is neither .deception, nor misrepresentation. nor humbug in the matter; but the proposition is made in good faith by a respectable lady, and the adventure will be conducted, without,donbt, in the same manner. We think this idea is one of the best which the California fever, as it is sometimes called, has yet originated. It is rational, praiseworthy, and prac. ticable, and we hope it will be fully and promptly carried out. The arrival of a few hundred of reli i. g ibtts, i tindustrious, and amiable females at San Francisco; would be, as the moral condition of the country is now represented to be, the very best thing that could happen for it, and would be of equal value, at least, to all the gold that has been obtained, could a comparison as regards value be instituted between'a virtuous woman and that "vile yellow slave."—Globe SEILIOUS DEFALCATION —The Richmond papers announce that a defalcation has occurred in the funds of the James River'and Canawha Company to the amount of about - $ll,OOO.- The late William B. Chittenden, President of the company, whose death we announced a few days since, was involved in it, and also the secretary, whose name is not given. The latter has fled, and it- is thought that the estate of Mr. Chittenden will be sufficient to make up his share of the defalcation. After a diligent investi gation by the directors, the amount 'of the delin quencies is stated to be $11,162. 137 - Just after the surrender of Cornwallis, when the prisoners were marching ; out of Yorktown, one negro said to his companion, "Now we shall see Lor.

We announce with pleasure the appointment of JOHN BAHR, Esq. as Collector of Tolls at Columbia, by the Canal Board, at their recent meeting in Phil adelphia. Mr. Ruin is one of the most active and efficient Democrats in Lancaster county, and has labored long and hard in the service of the good old cause. We have no doubt he will make an attentive and obliging officer, and fully justify the anticipations of his friends. It-is always a source of pleasure to record the pro:notion of a deierving Democrat. Arrival of Gen. Taylor at Wash- lugton. The President elect arri. , ed at Washington on Friday night last, about half-past 8 o'clock, in the Baltimore cars. His suite consisted of several gen tlemen. As soon as the whistle announced his arrival, a salute was fired from the hill which over looks the ravine through which the railroad runs. When he entered the depot, he was received with repeated cheers: by an immense crowd. He was escorted in a carriage by marshalx by a joyous multitude, in carriages and on foot, to Willard's Hotel, amid the''sound of music, the ringing of bells, and the blaze of skyrockets. When he ar rived at Willard s, he was again received with cheers and music. After a short time he re-ap peared upon the balcony of the drawing-room, and made a brief address to the people, expressive- of his thanks for their kindness, and of his best wishes for their happiness. The — crowd then disappeared, and Gen. Taylor retired to enjoy the society of his family and friends. We are Lorry to hear that Gen. Taylor is some what indisposed, and that he was cupped on Thurs day. But we hope that quiet and repose for a day of two will perfectly restore him to his usual -health. Not a Colonel We confess to much indebtedness to our military neighbor of the Union 4- Tribune, who kindly enrols is among the legion of Executive Aids, and makes it the occasion of a complimentary paragraph. We reciprocate the courtesy, but, as we have no desire to shine in " borrowed plumage,' we must be ex cuse4l for declining to appear in the blushing honors to which he supposes us entitled. We are , not a Colonel, and can produce no "Broad Seal - in attes tation of our claim to this or any other military honor. During our connection with a former administration, it was our fortune to fill up corn- missions for about five hundred and three-score Aids, each wearing the additional dignity of Lieu tenant Colonel in the Pennsylvania State Militia. It is an ancient prOverb,however—no doubt a gross slander—that shoemaker's wives and blacksmith's horses are mostly doomed to go bare-foot—and, as if in confirmation of this anomaly, we never once, from the profusion of Aid-de-camp-ism, so much as thought of helping ourselves. For this act of vir tuous Self-Denial the world has given us no credit, but has taken the reverse for granted. Hence we have the title, but without any legal right to wear it. We respectfully request, therefore, to have our humble name taken off" the Nottingham list," and give notice to our friends that they need not disturb their hats when they pass us. With no desire to depreciate the better fortune of our votemporaries, we must be allowed to state, that in our opinion the extraordinary multiplication of gubernatorial Aids-de-camp is of modern invention —and constitutes one of those official abuses, to which governments, and especially Governors, are constantly liable.- We know not how it was in the olden time, but we have a tolerably distinct recollection of what took place under the adminis tration of Governor GEORGE WOLF. In the sixth or seventh month of his administration, that excel lent Chief Magistrate appointed five Aids, and five only, viz: WALTER C. LIVINGSTON of Lehigh, TAMES 11 LINNARD of Philadelphia, JAMES P. Butt of Bradford, Epunats Balsas of Mifflin, and Dee D. WAGENER. of Northampton. These were re garded as the Governor's staff—designed as a sort of military cabinet in peace and body-guard in war —and we do not believe that the number was in created to the 'end of his two terms. Then it was considered a rare distinction to be' an Aid to the Commander. in-Chief of the military forces of the second State in the American Union, and a man carrying such a testimonial in his pocket could well afford to plume himself on his honors. But how alts red! It is a settled maxim that the value of a cot nmodity depends upon its scarcity. It we look iu to the circumstances which attract attention in the world, we shall find them to consist, not so Mild I of cleverness in the abstract, as of singularity of fr.rcellence. In a faculty, or a name, or a station ; common to all, or even a very large number, there can be no foundation for extraordinary celebrity. Since then, as under the Joeiselorc administration, the number of Aids is multiplied to an almost indefinite extent, and military appointments begin to be scattered over the State as thickly as the leaves of Autumn, this species of honor has become cheap as pinchback. We hardly feel at liberty to interfere in the doings of the State Aministration, but Nee think the Legislature would do well to enactt a law limiting the number of Governor's Aids to 5,000, which would leave an apportion: ment of almost an hundred to eacii. county. With this number, we should think the Commonwealth tolerably safe. If some such restriction be not im posed, and the commission-mill at Harrisburg be allowed to run on for three long years at the same rapid rate, we apprehend it will require the next Census-takers to ascertain the nuinber of Colonels with which the Commonwealth abounds. Election of Judges. The Democrats of Crawford county, at a county meeting held at Meadville on the 13th instant, unanimously adopted a resolution in favor of so amending the Constitution as to vest the election of the Judiciary in the People. This is an example welt worthy of general imitation. New U. S. Senators. SALMON P. CEASE, a so-called Free Soil Demo crat, has been elected U. S. Senator by the Legisla ture of Ohio, as the successor of Hon. WILLIAM ALLete. Mr. Chase is now a member of the Ohio State Senate, and was very bitter in his hostility to Gen. Taylor. He is represented as a man of very considerable ability. Joarr WALES, of Wilmington, (Whig,) has been chosen U. S. Senator by the Legislature of Dela ware, in place of Joaa M. CLAYTON, resigned. ru• S. W. KNox and VINCENT Pimps have been chosen the delegates to represent Crawford county in the Pittsburg 4th of July Convention, without instructions. A BACHELOR'S lara.—Miss Bremer tells us that the life of a rich bachelor is a splendid breakfast, a tolerably flat dinner, and a most miserable supper. Giving Back Territory! We have little to communicate this week of the doings of Ccngress, and this little does not redound to its credit On the contrary, it would conduce to the National character, if it could be promptly and forever expunged. On Monday, 19th Instant, Mr. SCHENCK of Ohio, a noted whig abolitionist, offered an amendment to „the Mexican Indemnity Bill, while in Committee of the Whole, c that the Presi dent be instructed to enter into negotiations for surren-1 dering to Mexico the newly acquired territories - -that is New Mexico and California, acquired by the ex- Ipenditure of such avast amount of blood and trees ure. and as an indemnity for the long / continued and • aggravated train of injuries inflicted on the Ameri- I can people. On this proposition, infamous though I•it be, the vote, by yeas and nays, stood: For 11, Against 194 Although this majority is suffi ciently large and emphatic, it is nevertheless a Imelancholy reflection, that even 11 men could be found in the National Congress, so lost to the dic tates of propriety and patriotism, as to have voted lin its favor. It would have much bettir accorded with the dignity of the place, had its author been permitted to reap a monopoly of infamy. Whilst Mr. SCHENCK was thus engaged in the surrender of dearly acquired territory, he might with equal propriety have proceeded a step further, and proposed the relinquishment to France of Lou isiana, against the purchase of which the Federal party inveighed quite as bitterly as they have done against the acquisition of Texas, New Mexico, and California. We have now before us, in a volume of Congressional Speeches, the remarks of Josisu Quiscx of Massachusetts, delivered in the House of Representatives, January 14, 1611, against the purchase of Louisiana. At this day, it is a rarity, and well worth a hearty laugh over its folly, if its Anti-Americanism !oes not inspire the graver feel ing contempt. The Massachusetts Federalist' levels his batteries against Mr. Jr.trEnsols, who is denounced as wandering to the very ends of the earth to discover new settlements on which to satiate his territorial voraciousness. New Orleans he rep resents as little better than a den of. pollution, in habited by an Anglo-Hispano-Gallo-American race, with a Babylonian ; confusion of tongues, who could never, from their diversity of language and nativity, become assimilated to our countrymen. ?.tone point of his impassioned declamation, he exclaims " If this bill passes, the bonds of this Union are virtu- ally dissolved—the states, which compose it will be free from their moral obligations, and as it will be the right of all, so it will be the duty of some, to prepare defi nitely 4 for a separation—amicably: if they ran—forci bly. if they nowt. - This is a fair sample of the bitter hostility to the purchase of Louisiana, displayed by the Federalists in th 11. To be consistent, the more especially as it is a slave state, Mr :'4'IIESM should propose to lop it off as as unprofitable excresence. What, though New Orlear.s be the most important corn rercial point in the whole Union, even to the Yankee merchants—what, though the state of Lou isiana sent thousands of her chivalric sons to the hattle-tields of Mexico, Many of whom have not returned to share in the glories of Peace—what, though she has sent Senators and Representatives to Washington, whose brilliant intellects have re flected lustre on the National Ciumcils, and has even now furnished to the Onion its Chief Magis trate—if her admission intd' the Union was not palatable to narrow-minded and contracted Federal ism, there can be no obstacle in the way of uncere moniously reading her rod. Let the eleven traitors who voted affirmatively on the resolution to sur render New Mexico and California to Mexico, in clude Louisana to France, with Baton Rouge and its distinguished citizen to boot. and - they will have perfected their title to an immortality of scorn. Lady Post-Masters If this caption be not an Irishism, we beg leave to employ it for a present occasion. A paragraph in the Bedford Gazette informs us, that the post offices at Shellsburg and Bloody Run, in that county, are held by aged widow-ladies, to whom the emol uments, however trifling, serve as a sUle mainten ance. But because in each case ; the duties are dis charged by Democratic sons, the patriotic Whigs are circulating petitions for the removal of these matronly incumbents! This is the very refinement of greedy place hunting. We are reminded by this statement that the Post-Office of our own city is held by a lady—the venerable widow of the lamented WILLIAM DICK SON, long the proprietor of this journal. Her pre decessor was also a lady, the widow of Dr. Moony., who was appointed by President JEFFERSON ill ISO. Holding it until 1829, Mrs. M. resigned—(she was not removed, as some erroneously imagine)—and Mrs. D. was appointed by Gen. JACKSON her sue. cessor. She has been re-appointed by every inter vening administration. Public opinion here, and the records of the General Post Office at Washing ton, warrant the assertion, that a more carefully administered post-office there is not in the U. States. The extraordinary neatness and even elegance of the Lancaster city quarterly reports have passed into a proverb at the General Post Office, as have the punctuality, and accomodation of all connected with the office among our own citizens. Mrs. Dicxsos's commission was renewed by President Pout for another term of four years, commencing July Ist, 1848. If not sooner super seded, therefore, it will extend to July Ist, 1852. To the credit of the Whig party of Lancaster city and county be it said, that even in this hungry age but a solitary applicant has announced himself for her place. We have heard of numbers among our political opponents who have refused to sign any paper for her removal, and have subsequently vol unteered to intercede for her continuance. But we cannot for a moment indulge the belief ; that any formal movement for her retention can be at all required. Gen. TilfLOR is a brave, frank, honest hearted Soldier—and withal a man of essential gal lantry. To presume that he could condescend to the proscription of a venerable matron—who, like himself, has never voted at an election—would be monstri,us. We expect better things from -1-- Godey's Lady's Book. The March number, of Godey's Lady's 11,4 is already on our table. It contains twenty-four extra pages, thirty-five distinct engravings, and forty-five contributors. The mezzotints of the "Lost Dove," and' Dusting Cupid,' are superior works of art, and the engraving styled The Stiff Breeze, - is a very bold and beautiful picture. The Fashion plate and wood engravings too numerous to particularize, are in a style which shows the rapid progress that has been made in this kind of engraving in this country. The essays, tales and gems in prose and poetry that make up the work, indicate the greatest literary talent on the part of the contributors, and prove Godey's to be one of the best monthly's in the country.

A good story with an Illustration The Louisville Journal says that a certain Demo mut went to Washington to get an office from Mr. Polk just before the Presidential election. Mr. Polk designated an indiffeient office which he could give the applicant then, but told him that if he would wait -till after the 4th of March, Gen. Cass would then undoubtedly be President, and could give him something better. The poor fellow, as illluck would have it, chose to wait till after the 4th of March.

Native Canal Commissioner A Native American State Convention met on Friday last at the Pluenix Hall, in Philadelphia, and nominated a gentleman who sports the eupho nious name of KIMBER CLEAVER, a resident of Schuylkill county, as their candidate for Canal Commissioner. Who were the delegates that com posed this notable body, and by whom chosen, we have not seen stated, and we have no hopes that we ever shall. What a farce! A"s if the whole state, and New Jersey to boot, did not very well know, that the nomination is designed as a mere pretext for driving a bargain with the whigs next October. It will be a trifle to cleave down Kimber Cleaver, if the high contracting parties of Whig gory and Nativism discover that there is something to be made by it. Kimber Cleaver himself can be easily shoved into an Inspectorship, or even the Pottsville post-office, to leave the coast clear for the Whig candidate, to be revealed hereafter. At all events, the Native hook is now nicely baited—and t will be interesting to se': the big and little fish o he Whig pond nibble at it. Strong Pledge A pledge made for Gen. TAYLOR by John J. Crittenden, of Kentucky, at the ratification meeting at the City Hall, in Washington. about the 12th of June, 1848: " Mr. Crittenden said, in substance, that he (Mr. C.) had seen a letter in Gen. Taylor's handwriting. in wh . ch Gen. Taylor said that he would proscribe no titan because he was a Democrat—that both Democrats and Whigs stood by him at the battle of Monterey, shedding their blood together for their country, and he would be the last man to deny to the Democrats a fair share athe offices." OFFICE HIIIITINC3. - A Washington letter relates that a stranger from down east, approached one of the police of the capitol, whose salary is over a thousand dollars, and made of him especial inquiry as to his duties and the compensation. The police man, wishing to conceal nothing, gave him the particulars. The inquisitive Yankee made a mem orandum, and, folding the paper carefully. put it into his pocket-book. Turning, to his friend, he said, "I guess that place will suit me, - and with a smile made his way to the gallery of the house. KISSING wrra ♦ WlLL.—While at Louisville, Gen. Taylor was fairly conquered by the ladies, and for upwards of two hours the parlors of the Galt House, literally overflowed with beauty. The ladies seemed charmed with the opportunity of pay ing their respects and expressing theiradmiration to the old chief, and many a pair of ruby lips were presented, receiving as hearty kisses as lips could possibly desire. It is said that some of the jealous young gentlemen were not a little dissatisfied, thinking Old Zack, instead of kissing as a mere matter of form, kissed with a very decided relish. He never does things by halves.

HOUBE OF REPRESENTATIVES TUESDAY, February 2U.—An act was passed au hmising the Governor to incorporate a company a erect a footbridge over the Conestoga at Sale Harbor, in Lancaster county Mr. Biddle presented a petition praying for the establishment of another Bank at Allentown. Kenney one, from colored persons of Phila elphia, asking that the right of suffrage may be accorded to them Mr. Cornyn from the Judiciary Committee re. ported a bill relative to the judicial districts of the commonwealth Mr. Meek, on leave, offered a resolution, (the Senate concurring,) to invite JAMES K. PoLK to visit Harrisburg on his retirement from office. Mr. Eshleman addressed the House in opposition to Mr. Little's bill for the completion of thrNorth Branch Canal by the issue of Small NoteS. Mr. COOPER said the object of this bill was to complete a most important link in the improvements of the Commonwealth. There had been already expended on that part /if the line uncompleted al most two and a half millions of dollars i and a little more than another million would completeand ren- der productive the line from the New York line to the heart of the coal region. Mr. C. said perhaps the constituents of no mem ber-had less ibterest in the completion of this line than his. All the money that had been expended by the Commonwealth in the construction of the State improvements had been drawn from them in its proportion, but they had not received their pro portionate advantage. That was not the fault of the legislature,but of nature. By their location, they were outlawed from the benefit of these improve ments. But the heart of his constituents throbbed with pride at every step the Commonwealth took to greatness. Whatever their burthens might be, they ' would brace their shoulders to bear them in the hope that they will be mitigated by the comple tion of this line. If it were put to vote, they might say no, hut if the expenses of it by his vote should be fastened on them, they would forgive him* and next day send him back here if he asked to come. Mr. C. said of all the improvements, the North Branch is destined one day or other to be the great est, the most productive. He need not refer to the statistical facts, that had been so fully given by the gentlemen from Luzerne, the gentleman from Wyo ming and the honorable Speaker. The arguments based on statistical facts were conclusive, and al though the debt of the Commonwealth was large, it would be better to increase it a million more than leave this improvement lying useless and a blotch upon the, face of nature. When it was completed, almost the whole vast area of the State of New York would be supplied with coal from the inex haustible mines of Pennsylvania. That part of New York lying between Utica and the lakes, not long ago, was a wilderness. Within the last twenty five years, populous cities on the New York im provements had grown up from villages. Their manuthcturing establishments were increasing every day and also the demand for coal. Their forests had disappeared, and with them, fuel. This mu id come from Pennsylvania. The anthracite region of the Lackawanna and Wyoming, and the bituminous coal of the Bedford region, would supply that re gion of New York with the indispensable requisite to their prosperity. Mr. COOPER, alluding to the report made by him on Wednesday, said the question was referred to, the Committee of Ways and Means, by Mr. Grit tinger's resolution. The subject, at the time of reference, was under consideration by the Hous e— it was necessary that a report should he made and made speedily. A report was commenced by his friend on the left (Mr. Roberts] as to one branch of the resolution. Another report on another branch, Mr. C. said, he commenced himself. The report made by him was not submitted in a meeting of the committee, but to all the gentlemen of the com mittee, save one, who was not in his seat. Mr. C. said he had been told that the report went into the hands of one of the committee, that he did not depend on his own judgment, but it was curried to the Governor. Mr. C. said he 11.41$ a Whsg c—if General Taylor had not said he "was not an ultra Whig," he (Mr. C.) would say he was an ultra Whig. He had al -1 ways opposed Executive dictation and influence.— The executive branch of the government should he separate from the legislative branch, or the latter could not be independent. Mr. BIDDLE interrupted Mr. C., and said that as the gentleman referred to him lie wished to make some remarks by way of explanation. , Mr. B. 'waived the right to explain for the present, when Mr. Cosine resumed and said, he was astonished ]beyond measure when he heard that a report had been submitted to the Executive. It astonished the Speak er that a member of a committee should so far for get what was due to the Legislature, as to consult the Executive. Mr. BIDDLE said he could not permit remarks of this kind to be made without making an explanation and stating facts. A gentleman deeply interested in: this measure came and brought him the report. He (Mr. B.) read it until he got to that part throw ing the responsibility upon the Governor, when lie objected to it, and said to that gentleman tt if you will go with me to the Executive, and lie says it is a part of his policy, I will withdraw my objectiott.” That was the proper method for any friend of the Governor to take or any one attacked in a covert • way. Mr. Cooern said he never made covert attacks . Be desired to charge what he charged boldly, and he asked every member on that floor whether what had been admitted had not been a sacrifice of legis lative dignity. The whole responsibility was not cast on the Governor. The committee said the profits expected justified the expenditure, that they had almost in superable objections. to an increase of the State debt, and referred to the language of the Governor, which is quoted in the report verbatim et literatim. Mr. C. asked the House not to mistake him; he was not making an attack on the Executive. He says in his message, " In reference to the internal improvements of the State, I cannot allow the op portunity to pass without alluding to the North Branch canal. It is supposed that a million of dol lars would complete this work, at present profitless .and rapidly going to ruin. Already has the State expended upwards of two millions,.which, while it remains unfinished, is absolutely lost. The coon try through which this improvement passes, is rich in the articles of coal and iron, and in agricultural products. Its completion, by the increased amount of toll. received on it, and the additional fteight thrown on to other portions of the public improve ments, would amply , secure thi; interest on the cost of its completion, iTederU deep sense of the cor- rectneas of these views, feould not avoid bringing the subject to your early consideration." , Mr. C. asked, was. not that a recommendation of the work ~Was it not in as strong terms as lan guage could make it t ' It was, and the Executive was wise in making it._ He (Mr. C.) would not be lieve that William F. Johnston, was a demagogue— he would not believe that he would recommend one thing in his message, while in his heart he was op posed to it! Mr. C. said, the report of the minority, Which declares that he is not in favor of this improve ment, has done great injustice to the Governor.— Ile never believed that that line, ninety-four miles long, could tie completed without money. lie un derstood its resources, the source whence profits were ultimately to be derived to more than corn pensate for the expenditure, and came forward as a wise and statesmanlike man, and recommended it in his message Mr. C. asked, would the gentleman/rom Phila delphia, be satisfied that the committee have not cast the responsibility on the Governor: If they had done so, it would have been no more than the Governor desired. Mr. C. hoped hereafter every member would act (hr himself, without asking another department for its advice. lie charged on the gentleman front Philadelphia no want of courtesy; it was done by overlooking what was • due to one branch of the legislature. Ile, (Mr. C..; would be wanting in the discharge of Ins duty if lie did not denounce Execu tive dictation. The party he belonged to had al ays denounced it, in the States and the general government, and it had been one of the charges they had made against the Democrats, that they were willing to submit to it. None had been at tempted here, nor exerted except in the constitu- tional way. Mr. C. said, he desired to be consistent, not in error, but in what is right. He believed it wisely ordained by the framers of the Constitution --fresh from the fiery furnace of the revolution, that the several parts of tote government shouldbe separate and independent of each other. Mr. C. said, he might have gone further and have said that members of another branch, (the Senate) had interfered, and had recommended the minority This improvement, said Mr. C., was a most im portant one. A vast amount of revenue would an nually accrue from the carrying of coal northward, and from the transportation hitherward of the plas ter, salt and lumber of New York, and the agricul tural productions of the country through which the canal passes. It would increase, in a vast degree, the productiveness of northern Pennsylvania and the, value of lands, and thus indirectly as well as directly increase the revenues. He hoped therefore the bill might pass, and the amendment (pending) of the gentleman from Union be voted down. It would be a glorious day for Pennsylvania when they, loan was authorized. itlinutes of City Councils FILIDA v, Februatly 9, 1849, 10 o'clock, A. M.

SAVERY, formerly of Philadelphia, aged about 64 years. Wistar's Balsam of Wild Cherry. THE great remedy for CONSUMPTION, and the best medicine known to man for Asthma of every stage, Liver Complaints, Bronchitis, Influen za, Coughs, Colds; Bleeding of the Lunge, Short ness of Breath, Pains and Weakness in the Side, Breast, &c., and all other diseases of the Pulmona ry Organs. A very important disease over which this Balsam exerts a very . powerful influence, is that of a Diseased Liver. . - In this complaint it has undoubtedly proved more efficacious than any other remedy hitherto employed and in numerous instances when patients had en dured long and severe suffering from the disease, without receiving the least benefit from various remedies, and when,Mercury has been resorted to in vain, the use of this Balsam restored the Liver to a healthy action, and in many Instances effected Permanent Cures, after every known remedy had failed to produce this desired effect. Besides its astonishing efficacy in the diseases above mentioned, we also find it a very effectual remedy in Asthma, a complaint in which it has been extensively used with decided success, even in cases of years standing. It nut only emanates from a regular physician, but has been well tested in all complaints for which it is recommended. It is not my intention, therefore, either to cloak it in mystery, or in any say deceive the public by over-rating its virtues ; on the contrary, I shall simply endeavor to give a brief statement of its usefulness, and flatter myself that its surprising efficacy will enable me to fur nish such proofs of its virtues, as will satisfy the most incredulous, that Consumption may and can . be cured, if this medicine be resorted to.
