LEZERI'iL DEMOCRAT.—We have re ceived the first_number of this paper, recently estabil4hed at Wilkes-Barre, LEVI.by L. TAT, and are much pleas ed, by its appearance and - the tone it adopts. By the way brother TATL you m i neli mistake our intention. We certainly meant no attack. But we have seen in several of the counties adjacent to us. papers established to favor certain cliques or interests, and invariably have seen them produce the most detelerious effects upon the democratic party. In-. deed wliciony newspaper stoops 'to become the tool of any faction it ceases to be the organ of the democratic party, ar,d is very apt to scatter the seeds of dissension and diSunion. A higher and a nobler impulse should impel the conductor of a democratic journal ; a wish to concentrate and perpetuate the existence of the democracy and a fearless advocacy of their principles:— We trust and believe ►hat the " Detio crat" will render gallant service to the democracy of Luzerne, and their party in unison are ever sure of success. THE INAuptAtAiioN.--F. R. Shunk was duly inaugurated as the Governor of the great and glorious Common wealth of Pennsylvania on Tuesday 21st ist. The ceremony was perform. ed in the Hall of-the House . of Repre sentatives in the presence of the officers of Government, members of the Legis lature, ladies, citizens, .military &c.— The Inaugural will be found in another column„ The Governor has made the <following,appointments. 'JESSE MILLER, Secretary of the Commonwealthi , JOHN K. KANE, At torney General. HENRY PETRIREN, Deputy = Secretary of the Common wealth. ENOCH WALKER.—We are under many apprehensions _that that this il lustrious individual will not succeed in obtaining a Seat in tlinCongress of the United States of America. True mer it and real worth are pushed aside now a-days by assurance, . and a clannism, ;nd a person of Mr. N's unobtrusive dispOsition, we fear will not be appre ciated. Besides this Mr. ,Walker, you must learn to pay thepostpge upon your transcendental letteo • We rear, too. plot' opponents woAd raise the question which we now aSk, ~W ho is Enoch Walker?" • - OFFicur,VoTE.The Gubernatori al vote of this State, as published by the Legislature is as follows: Francis R. Shunk, Joseph Markle Lemoyne THE -DEFAULTING CLERK.. , —IIis Sr; rest—defalcation, .S.c.—The Washing ton correspondent of the Baltimore Sun, says the, committee of the House have reported the defalcation of Mr. M'Nul ty, the Clerk, to be "$45,0001 . The report-Stated that after proceedings had been commenced io this'niatter, Mr. 111'Nulty had been tivice summoned to appear before the committee on ac., counts, and that he refused to obey the summons in both instances. It states further, that a deficit offorty-fiti.ethou sand dollars had been discovered in the contingent fund of the House. Of this deficiency there were liven ` ty thousand dollars secured by the clerk's bonds, and for the balance, twen ty-five thousand . dollars, there was no security. The report also states that it had been discovered that Mr. M'Nulty had loan ed to a dealer in Ohio thirty thousand dollars, since he became clerk, and twenty-two thousand dollars' to another individual in Ohio. The committee recommend that sum mary steps be taken to punish the of fender. The report concludes with a resolution directing the dismisSal of the clerk, and enjoining upon the Sec retary of the Treasury to institute legis lative, Proceedings to secure the sum due. The President is also requested to have commenced criminal proceed ings against the clerk, and all who shall be found to have participated with him in the improper use of the funk, Mr. Weller submitted a letter from the house of Charles;Licor & Co., of New York, which was read by the Clerk, in whichlt is stated that M'Nul ty had placed to his credit two several sums of fifteen thousand and fourteen thousand dollars, Which are subject, at any time, to his draft. Mr. IV. was understood, amid the confusion, to say that it would be found that the Clerk had not been guilty of any misconduct. The House finally, after debate on Friday ordered M'Nulty to be arrested. The Dismissal of Mr. .111' Nulty.— On Saturday the committee of the House waited until 12 o'clock for Mr. M'Nulty to appear. He did not pre sent himself before the committee ; but sent his accounting clerk. The com mittee inquired—says the Madisonian —of him where the unexpended bal ance of the public money %Os—Whe ther it was forthcoming, or was to be paid to the proper authority to receive it—whether it was in batik, or in the -hands of individuals. &c. The account ing cleik replied that, 'Mi:: ill'Nulty himself' must answer that question.— Mr. Tayhir had come into the House (between twelve and one o'clock) he had received a letter from M'Nulty, in forming him that he had in the Bank of NM - erica $29,000 to his credit. It did ' not seem to him that this materially changed the nature of the case. By an act of 1815, the clerk was required to deposite the money in one of the banks of the District. Mr. M'Nulty, in pur suance of this law, placed some funds in the Patriotic Bank of that city, and others elsewhere. It was his opinion that Mr. M'Nulty deserved the cen. sure of the Rouse in some manner. The first resolution reported by the Committee of Accounts on Friday "was read viz : Resolved, That Caleb J. M'Nulty be, and he is hereby, dismissed from the office of4Clerk of the House. The yeas and nays were taken, and the resolution was agreed to 7 -yeasl96, nays none! • The second resolution was adopted unanimously,' viz: Resolved, That the Secretary of the Treasury be directed to institutelorth with the necessary legal proceedings to ascertain and secure the balance of the public money due from Caleb J. M'- Nulty as clerk of the House . of Repre- sentat►ves. The third resolution of the Commit tais as follows : Resolved, That the President of the United States be required to cause Criminal prosecution to be commenced against Caleb J. 111'Nulty, late clerk of this House, for an embezzlement of the public money, and , all persons ad vising Or knowingly and willingly par ticipating in such embezzlement, ac cording to the provisions- of the act of Congress approved August 3, 1841. The resolution was adopted—yeas 170, nays 4. 160,322. 156,040. ims are we to have sleighing ? he can tell ? 2576. THE ANTI-RHNTHRS.—The Deputy Sheriff of Columbia county, N. Y., ac companied by a - detachment of military, in the latter Vert of last week, made a tour throlseieral ollthe anti-rent towns of that county, in - search of individuals for rwhose arrest warrants, have been issued, hut in every case their houses were found entirely deserted. Rufus King, commanding the Albany Bur gesses' Corps, writes to the Argus as follows . • ~ .In the course of this expedition, a Very considerable portion of the coun try where the ami-rent excitement has ~raged the highest, was traversed by tote detachment, and so far as I could judge, the' diiplay thus made of the power\and . determination of the state authoritiei \ to suppress the insurrection ary spirit, Which has manifested itself in those regions, has been attended with the most salutarPeffects. Avery de cided change has taken place in public sentiment, and there islvery reason to b :Neve that the great mass of the peo ple, even in those towns where- the an ti-rent feeling pas prevailed most ex tensively, will henceforth unite in dis countenancing eery resort to illegal or violent measures. It is my deliberate opinion that no i further attempt will be Made to resist the Sheriff in the execu tion of his duty, and that accompanied by a small party of five or ten men, he can make arrests or serve process in any portion of the country without hin derance or molestation." • FATAL ACCIDENTS.—Two fatal acci dents occurred on the Baltimore and Ohio rail road on Tuesday. While Mr. John Slack, a carpenter in the employ of - the company, was engaged at work on the Monococy bridge, with his leg across ,the track, a locomotive backed down, with a burden car attach ed, and passed over Mr. S. One of his legs was cut off at the thigh, one of his arms severed from his body, and his skull fractured. He died. in a few minutes. He had been told shortly be= fore, that the cars were going to back, but neglected the warning to change his position. Mr. Jacob Barnhardt, in the employ of the Codpany at Sykesville, had attached the machine to the train of coal cars from the West, and just as they were in the act of starting, he attempted to jump on one of them, but fell between, and the car passing over his head, he was instantly killed.

FRIENbS AND FEI.OW-CITIZENS : I appearlbefore You,i obedience. to the will-of the 'freemen pc Pennsylvania, :to give the Solemn pledge prescribed by. the Constitution, andl-to enter upon Atte 'office of Governor. Whenil contemplate the interests of our Commonwealths, ' an independent sovereignty, and as a member of the community of American states, the multiplied relations over which it exerts a supervising guardianship, and the pe-. culiarly weighty obligations that Press . upon it at the present moment, 1 feel how imperfectly I' ant qualified to dis charge, and even to comprehend - aright, the arduirms and complicated duties to which 1 have been called. To Him who watches over the'destinies of States as well as men, and whose favOr is light and strength, I look npwardswith hum ble trust, that He will over-rule any er rors and give efiieielncy to my honest efforts for the public good. Happily the principles which should regulate the administration of the State have been long since declared and es tablished by r and Puan fathers.— They are few 'clear. The equal and exactjustice should be administer ed to men of all parties in politics, and of all persuasions in religion—that our public faith should be kept sacred un der all circumstances—that freedom of religion, of suffrage, and of the press, should be held inviolate—that general education' is essential to the preserva. ' tion of liberty—that the separate rights and powers of the executive, legislative and judicial departments of the govern ment should be strictly maintained— that the government should be faithfully, but frugally administered, and all to whom it is - entrusted held to frequent and strict accountability—that particu lar mischiefs should be corrected by general rather than by special laws-- that the grant of exclusive privileges to some is repugnant to our whole system, the intent of which is to make firm the equal rights of all—that then associated for gain should, in common with others, be liable individually for all their joint engagements—and that the obedience of the . , public agent to the will of his constituents is essential to a right ad ministration of the government, and to the preservation of freedom. These are the leading principles by which I propose to be guided in the performance of my official duties. They are all of them primary truths, affectinff the basis of our government, and need ing no better confirmation of their value, than is to be found every where in the history of our country. Thus far the action of our system has illustrated the capacity of man for self-government, and has shown that, entrusted with his own political-desti nies, and unincumbered by bad laws, lie advances steadily in knowledge and true happiness. The doubts at first entertained of its adequacy, to meet all the contingencies which arise in the affairs of nations, have been dissipated by experience. The practical opera tion of the governments of the States and of the Union, in advancing the welfare of the inhabitants of our extend ed and still extending country, demon strates their utility. This is the result of that simple and natural organizatior, founded upon the assent of the people, by which their sovereign will rules in their local affairs, is extended to the State governments, and by a happy combination gives direction - to the gov ernment of the Union. Their compe tency to govern themselves is confirm ed by the peace, happiness . and pros perity, which their government has se cured to the citizens of these States, and is an assurance that in their hands the welfare of all will be, as it has been, guarded and advanced. Fellow-Citizens of the Senate and Hoase of Representatives :—lt has not been my purpose to enter at this time upon the consideration of particular topics, which may more properly be reserved for other communications. There is, however, one subject of such vital interest to the honor and well-be ing of the Commonwealth, as to chal lenge the very earliest expres sion , of my views respecting it. I allude, of course, to the condition of our public debt. If there is one trait of character in our citizens, it is that of living within their means, and honestly paying their debts; and if there is one certain result in the working of our representative. system, it is, that the character of the 'Govern ment is idenfical with that of the peo ple. By the application of this truth, which is equally simple and certain, our duty under existing circumstances, is rendered as plain as it is obligatory.— The credit of onr Statemust be redeem ed., We are urged .to the perforMance of this duty, not ;only by our fidelity as representatives, but also by the princi ples of sound morality; by our honest pride asPennsylvanians,and by our obli gations to the Union ,to maintain and elevate the NatiOnal character. I shall of course not be understood in these remarks as expressing any on the question of the immediate ability of the State Treasure to resume its 'payments of interest. This. question is an• ex tremely grave one its consequences, not to the creditor, Only, but to the future character of the - State; - and it ,requires for its safe decision a careful examina tion of our Aical condition.' including our prospective inco'me and liabilities, which I have not had the:meaes Of . making. The consideratiowol'this whole subjecewill be among - the.earliest and mcst interesting (limy 'official du. ties,'and hastento.sUbmit to the Legislature the views to which itAvhich ii may conduct me. "Itleanwhile,.._ gen tlemen, I pledge myself to you, to the good people of the State, and to all its creditors, that 'onpart nothing shall be left undone, within the constitutional competency of the Executive to ensure the prompt, exact and full payment of all the dues of Pensylvania. I congratulate you, gentlemen, on the general prosperity of our constitu ents. It is impossible to look out up on our Commonwealth' without recog nising our indispensable obligations to the Author of Good. A genial .and healthful climate—a soil fertile of agri cultural productions; yet pre-eminently abounding in mineral wealth—a hardy and intelligent population--a .govern ment of The people themielves, that secures to industry, enterprise and skit). their appropriate rewards :---these, by His benignant care, have borne us Op under concentrated 'trials, which might have crushed an 'older but . less: favored community. Let us be true to ourselves that His blessing may abide !with us. FRS. R. SHUNK.' FATAL ACCIDENT.--The Elmira Ga zette of Thursday last, contain: an ac count of a heart-rending accident and loss of life, which occurred on Tuesday 21st inst., in Ridgebury township, Pa.; of a man by the name of Arvine Clark, 2d, aged about 30 years, leaving a wife and the children to mourn his loss. It appears that IMr. C. was hauling saw logs, and was standing at the bottom of the hill waiting for a , log when one came down striking in its passage a stone, which struck Mr. Clark in the forehead, killing him instantly. STATE TREASURER..-011 Monday 20th inst., the day flied by law for the election of State Treasurer, James R. Snowden, was elected by the Legisla ture to fill that office. He will make an excellant officer, being courteous and gentlemanly in his demeanor, and prompt and efficient in his ,business habits.
