Me.. ElDlTOlC—Aithough the Penn,Jlo titian does
net notice my letter published in your independent
paper of the 213th ultimo, it has been placed before
the editors, and "the galled judo has been made
to wince." Mr. Forney seems to forget, in his
hatred of Mr. Wilmot, the fact that he was defeat
ed by the defection of Southern Democrats, dis
unionists—men, some of whom participated in the
caucus that nominated' Wilmot was net
in the caucus. Why, then, are not these Southern
Members of Congress denounced, villifted and
traduced by these pretended Denwocratio effitoral

in their eyes, Mr. Wilmot is is the only sinner that
has had the boldness to staid aloof from the Sla

transgressed, white some half dozen Democrats,

and done the kitchen Work of Southern Slave

ed as faithful disciples-of the Republican party.
So completely wedded is Forney to the South,
that in the Pennsylvanian of Saturday last, he pub
lished two verses addressed to Frances Ann Ram
ble, findinglaolt and disparaging her for herdeter
mination not to give Shakaperean Readings in any
of the Slave States. naS it come to this, that even
a lady , a talented and gifted authoress, is not al.

1 It seems the Wbig Treasurer apd his Whig
friends have been trying to make capital for hint
and themselves, by !showing, or endeavoring ,to
show, that Mr. Ball is the first Treasurer who has
been able to pay the interest on the public dell
without resorting toe loan. Although the credit of
being the first to do this does not belong to either
Mr. tall or the Whig party, he hal accomplished
it, iu this instance, b refusing to ty nearly all
the specific appropriations made by the last Legis-,
lame to discharge claims which had been aces
mulating on the Public Works for years thus
withholding the hard earned pittance from the la
borer, that he might be sodded to boast of having
paid the rich capitalist in specie. The Cant
Board oltnplain loudly because they havenotteett
able to pay for the necessary repairs on the Public
Works, and that large sums of toll have been lost
to the State from this tact. Truly, this artifice of
Mr. Bali is a now chapter Or the way of making a
great man of cne's self.
The Resolutions for the proposed amendment of
the Constitution have ~been under discussion in the
Rouse for the last throe or to& days. They are
opposed chiefly by Judge Porter, of Northumber
land, and Mr. Corny% both skillful debaters, and
well skilled in legal 'asap. Several amendments
have been proposed, some of which would, un
doubtedly, render the amendments munch more
perfect than they are at pesetas; • but, as the effect
of any amendment would be to defer the action of
the people until they eunld be again passed upon
by another Legislature, it is quite certain that no
amendment will be adopted, and that the original
resolutions will pass by a large majority. -

the Convention that placed him beifore the people
as a candidate for the seat he occupied ; be be

Judge Conynghant occupies a high position here;

ability as a Jurist and statesman, haveadready gain

and not OR every trivial subject that comes up.
- The Committee of the House for apportioning
the State into districts have made a report. It is,
perhaps, objectionable in some of its features, bet
in the main is -a pretty good Bill. It gives two
members to Bradford, and a Senator to Bradford,
Susquehanna and Wyoming. The Committee io
the Senate have not yet made. their report, •bat I
understand have agreed upon the provisions of a
Bill. This Bill also gives two .members to Brad
kW, and the same Immaterial district as the House
Bill. In any event, t thinh Bradford will retain
her present representation, and that the Senatorial
district wit-6er woostipsued re the respective Com

The Appropriation Bill, which you wit/ recollect

A bill was read in place a few Jays ego, and is
now in the bands of the Carmine. as Bank., en
titled " An act to provide for the more equitable
distribution of the assets of insolvent Banks," and
as you and your readers have heard of such things
as insolvent flanks, and may possibly feel an in
terest in the legislation upon such a subject, I send
you a synopsis, viz : ,
The preamble recites, that great wrong and in•
justice has been done tty certain Officers and Di.
.rectors oT some of the Basks of this Commonwealth
in making assignments, or transfers of meets of
their institutions for the benefit of certain creditors
by them preferred.; to the great loss and injury of
others, and of the bill-holders genet - 411y of such in;
stitetions - k that assignments*, transfers have been
made and judgments confessed by the Officers
sueh institutions for the benefit of fifsentselcri; that
Officers of Banks, on the eve of insedveney, have
tmusfered huge amounts of the aseeur to their in
dividualist:counts, either with or Without the know.
ledge and cousertiof the Directors, and new pro.
pose to balance and-ante their accounts with the
depreciated and worthless notes of the Bank; and
to remedy the evil and prevent further hooch; it
enacts--
Ssc. 1. That from and' after the pasirage of this
act it shall not be kawfol4 for any °Meer and direct.
or of any banking institution in this Common
wealth to make' any assignment or transfer of the
assets of such institutions fur the benefit of any
creditor or ether person by them specified, so as - to
exhale the and other meretorious cred
itors of such institution from an equal and equine
ble dividend of such asset: in awe of the final in
solirency of snob institution.
Bite. a. Provides that all assignments or trans
fers, or confessions of Judgments which have been
made or confessed. or which shall hereafter be
made or confessed, by any officer or director of any
Bank or other corporate company of [hi:Common
wealth for the purpose of disposing of the assets
of such Bank or incorporated company, for the
benefit of themselves, or any of them, directly or
indireedy, or for the benefit of any other person so
that they or any of them ace henelliediw compensa
ted theretor, is declared fraudulent So law, absolute
ly null and void.
the. 9. Farther enacts. That all transfer* of the
assets of any Basking institution of this Common
wealth, made by charging the same over to the ac
count of any officer or director of such institution
while the said Bank is in bad repute and its notes
are not current, shall also be declared fraudulent,
and the general and AIN assignees of such Bank,
in case it shall go into liduidation of such officer or
director by receiving in payment the notes or bank
bills of slosh btsoPrent histitation bet shall demand
and collect, if practicable the amount due- from
such officer or director in current money.
Very little else of interest has occurred in the
Legislature sines my last. The' Resolutions of
Amendment to the Constitetion have been under
discussion in the Rouse horn day to day, Whore
not yet been finally acted upon.
Neither the Appropriation or Apportionment
Bills have been. taken up. Parties are evidently
Wiling thy, for the purposes( making capital, and
neither will *inure until the plan of action is
settled, and when They do, theta will be a grand
display of tactics and nommuvreing for ultimate W-
