As every thidgieulculMd’to enlighten the,public
orTthe'Bubj&t of the. Receipts^andfExpenditures,:
puWtc debt of the Oommodwealtbi &c.j is of, im-;
portanOe at the present jungthte, we take the' earliest,
opportunity.to publish, the following proclamation,
which came to hand a few days since by due cpurse
of mail/and recommend the same to the earnest
attention of our .readers. Whether it is genuine or
not, iB another question.. We doubt its genuineness,
for the simple reason that the statements contained
in it are all TRUE, which is, more than could
reasonably be expected from the present Whig
administration, at Harrisburg:
PENNSYLVANIA, SS.
In the name and by the authority of the Com
monwealth of Pennsylvania:
WILLIAM F. JOHNSTON,
Governor of said Commonwealth* ■
A PIIOCXAH ATIOJV.
. Whibeas, In and by the system' of morality
which regulates honest men it is enjoined that the
TRUTH should be told on all and that
the Governor of this Commonwealth; should state
truly and fairiy the condition of the Finances, and
the practical workings of the Sihkin’Fund. •
Now, therefore, know ye, that I do hereby issue
this my Proclamation, publishing and declaring the
following FACTS, which are on record in the sev
eral offices, at Harrisburg, viz: .
That the Public Debt, when Gov. Ritner
was elected, amounted to $25,162,405 02
When he went out of offices, it was 34,141,653 80
Two months after Governor Ritner went into
office, the United States Bank Bill was passed,
which put under contract the following fancy im
provements, viz: '
ERIE EXTENSION—North Branch Canal—
Sinnemahoning Extension-Gcttysfourg Rail
Road —WisconUco Canal, and Allegheny Feeder,
amounting in all to the sum of $11,955,554 74 !
To meet this large sum Gov. Ritner had appropria
ted the meagre sum ot $1 ,"900,000; leaving a de
ficiency of $10,015,554 74 1 to he provided for
immediately , by Gov. Porter, when he went into
office in 1838. ■
That I, Wm. F. Johnston, voted for all these
fancy works, and thereby helped to increase the
present heavy State debt nearly SEVENTEEN
MILLIONS OF DOLLARS 1
That Gov. Ritner received from extraordinary sour
pes of Revenue-. Bank
bonuses, $3,230,977 67
The surplus revenue
from the U. S ates
Government.
2,807,514 78
56,004,492 45
which, being added to debt contracted for the above
mentioned works, makes the actual debt contracted
by Governor Ritner, amount to the enormous
sum of $16,030,047 19
That when Gov. Shunk went into office, the public
debt amnt'd to $40,980,393 22
When he resigned in
- 1848, it amn’d to 40,474,730 93
Actual am ! t of debt p’d
by Gov. Shunk,
That when Gov. John
ston came into office
tbe public debt a
mounted to $40,474,730 y 3
At the end ol the fis-
cal y’r 1850, it was 40,316,362 44
Actual decrease dur
ing Johnston's term,
That the am’t of Taxes
.assessed on Real and
personal Estate, dur-
ing the last year of
Gov. Johnston’s t'm,
was
$1,545,956 44
The am t during the
last year of Gov.
SHunk’s term, only 1.434,871 72
That the expenses of Government* have been
INCREASED during my administration, as the*
annexed table will show :
Expenses during 2 y'rs, I Expenses during 2 y’rs,
Shunk’s administration: I Johnston’s administ’n:
In 1846, $21G,G32 In 1850, $2G2,599 !
In 1847, 200,113 In 1851, 275,151!
Increase, $121,295!
That the revenue beJore I came into power was as
follows: T«\xes on real and personal estate, and
Income irom railroads and canals only $1,915,535
In 1850, from the same sources: Taxes,
$1,317,891 ! Railroads and canals, (un-
der the management of Democrats,)
1,713,848 ; in all,
That Gov. Shunk, during his excellent
administration, paid off the following am't
of the public debt: In 1845, $190,810 22
In 1846, 161,627 49
In 1847, OS
Making in all the large sum of $511,650,29
That I, William F. Johnston, have borrowed the
sum of $400,000 at G per cent, interest, and have
purchased the Bonds of the State to an equal amount
which carried interest at the rate of only 5 per cent.
That if the next Legislature will aid me, I can
purchase all the State Bonds, which bear 5 per
cent, by renewing them at G per cent., thus easily
will the people be relieved from this enorous debt!
That the Sin kin’Fund was suggested by Col.
William Bigler, in the State Senate, in 1846, and
the money which goes into it annually, is derived
from sources of Taxation, brought into existence
by the wise policy of Governor Shunk. That to
the. lamented Francis R. Shunk is justly due the
honor of relieving our embarrassed condition, and
elevating the credit of the State. And all attempts
to pluck the laurel from the honored dead, to
wreathe my brow, should be resisted as sacrilege !
That the only items which my policy has caused
to go into the Sinkin’ Fund, are as follows :
Ist. The difference between the §400.000 0 per cent,
stocks, purchased by me, and that amount bor
rowed by me at 6 per cent. §4,000
2d. Mileage in going to Harrisburg,
3d. Commissions issued to 300 aid-de-
camps, §2,00 each,
4th. Pay as Governor before I was sworn
into office, 131
sth. The annual increase of Taxation, 125,000
6th. Annual increase of the expenses of
Government, 44,000
7th. The useless expense of three new' Ju
dicial districts, •/ 10,000
That I, Wm. F. Johnston, have during my Ad
ministration, approved the following Acts to bor
row money, viz:
Act passed 15th May,-1850, to borrow', §3,300,000
“ ' “ 29th'Jan., 1849, ' “ 200,000
“ ‘ “ 10th April, “ “ 200,000
“ “ “ . 70,000
That Gov. Shunk, during his administration, paid
interest on the public debt to the amount of only
§5,992,604 97, whilst during my, administration, 1
have paid interest to the amount of §6,032,692 37!
That the important services rendered by me as
Executive of this Commonwealth, may be summed
up as follows, viz>*—l have collected more Taxes
off the People than- my predecessor 4 —l have
borrowed more money than my predecessor—l have
puichased more 5 per cent. State stocks, by giving
new G per cent, bonds—l have paid more Interest
—I have spent more money among the office
holders—and have done a bigger Sinkin 1 Fund bus
iness than my predecessor!
Given under my hand, and the Great Seal of the
State at Harrißburg-jhis fifth day of September,
in the year of our Lord one thousand eight
hundred and fifty-one, and of the Common
wealth the seventy-sixth.
By the Governor. c
Judge Jessup at Home.
The Montrose Democrat is furnishing’ a candid
expose of Judge Jessup's political course, and his
connection with the co-partner of the Towando
Bank, that defunct swindling establishment, the
Susquehanna co., Bank. It is among those only,
on whom chiefly the base frauds, of these establish
ments fell, that these Wrongs are most felt.
There is a moral .miasma and stench hovering
around the relics of these concerns, which pollutes
the hands that touched them.' In this community,
the culpability of men, who had an opportunity of
knowing how frequent with fraud these institutions
were, and did not expose them, meets with no ex
tenuation. It is believed here that-Judge Jessup
participated m the overt act, which laid the,foun
dation for the consummation of the unmitigated
Susquehanna county bank swindle. The report 61
the Commissioners to investigate the affairs of her
bank, embraces the facts which discloses the Judges
delinquency, and for which he will be held account
able. It is well known that Gov. Johnston had in
tended to nominate him for the vacancy on the
Supreme Bench, occasioned by the death of Judge
Burnside, who was a northern man, and whose place
none doubted would be filled by .some one from the
same part of the State. But the Governor had the
report.ofthe Susquehanna Bank investigation .before
him, and although for a while he hesitated, because
the North was entitled to the honor, but seeing
that an act of this kind would be justly construed
as an approval of Judge Jessup’s association with
this bank, he dipped him, and took Judge Cham
bers. The Gove.nor' had.more sagacity than the
Lancaster Convention.-— Towahd'o Dem.'

Mr. Buchanan fo.weU'kiiqwn to the Whole nationj
as one of the most able, learned and distingushed
statesmen of which our country can boast. His
long, brilliant and patriotic career in both Houses
of Congress, in the most critical times of the,
Republic—his great ability in the Cabinet, andln
fact in every political station in Which he has
served, have pointed him out as one peculiarly fitted
for office in the gift of a free people,—
The Favorite son of the old ‘‘Keystone State,”
which has always’stood shoulder tp shoulder with
us since the days of the revolution, wftl meet and
receive a warm and triumphant support from Vir
ginians, and indeed from the whole South, who at
this moment are. looking at him .with all eyes in
tent, as he stands like a mighty barrier to ward off
and roll back the tide of northern fanaticism which
is endeavoring to engulph the Constitution and the
Union. That he is the favorite of the' Virginia
Democracy we have, not a .doubt, and that the
choice of Virginia will be endorsed, by the South
we have as little doubt. We are satisfied that he
is strong \yjtb the Democracy of the nation, and
his nomination once fairly made by the country,
his election is certain. But as we shall have fre-.
quent occasion to referto citizen,
: we for the present forbear to say more.
A late number of the Mobile, Ala., Daily Regis
ter formally renews its pledge in favor of Mr. Bu
chanan. This seems to be the sentiment of the
almost entire Democracy. We shall give other
extracts as we may find room.

together at their centres. The bed plate is formed
of a solid iron casting, having a cone shape pivot
resting upon the centre of the bed frame and firmly
