'Johnston, because, as they allege, the redac tion of the heavy i debt Of Pennsylvania con? , inenced under his, administration. Now we ire willing to render full credit to the Govern or for all that he has done in this respect, but we desire always to keep in view, that the re duction of our State debt commenced some. Years before Goy. Johnstoni tuismated the Gu bernatorial chair. _ _ On the first day „of December ,. 1845—that being the first year of avv.

Shank's administration this debt was reduced over half million "cf dolktrs.— VO exhibit takes the thunder out of the hands of some of the Whig journals that have been lauding the Goiernor so highly ferias financial ability. But as we do not'desire to -do the least injustice to the Governor,. we_ will 'give the reasons why the debt appears to be largir on the first December, 1850, that it 'Was the previous It will lie Mcollected that the, last LegisbittiM authorized 'a • loan of $400,4 1 000, to;avoid the inelinedplane at Philadelphia, and this loan was affected, and his been added to the ljate debt, sinew last "year..

Their object was to bide tbemselvesrfor -a 'season, and then throw off the name of Federalists be cause of the odium attached to it by reason of their conduct when in the ascendency under Adams.

There are , many other men who also are restless for the honors and,onol tunents of office; and they too arein precise ly, his situation.. When, therefore, we`say that this movement originated for selfish purposes, i our reasons for so saying we trust, are .luziP• able: We have already a Union Party; and, till the Sag of that one, is struck , we shall elilist under no other.

That party will, mete:out to all and each. section -" equal and exact-justice," demand and receive the same in return, and all.will acquiesce; If,. as in 1818, the "tVhigs now .wish to hide their wretched, deformity,. they can join, this great Union Party by maintaining our principles and becoming " Subject to our laws and, nea , We by no means doubt that one section of the Union migli be alienated by the awes.

This error, however, is fast being dis covered and forsaken. The changes that have been Wrought, even ,in, the past ten, years, are 'astonishing. Education; now being so gener ally , diffused, has thrown a flood Of :light over the agricultural community.. Important im .provementslin the utensils of husbandt:y have tended to lessen 'the hardship and labor of cut tivation, While the knowledge, pined-by the d?sce'verica that practical and scientific. men' 'have made and diffused, has had an important, bearing on the farming interests of the whale country.

Scarcely one branch of ag,ricultitte has ever! asked or obtained special leglalation in its be half; while, strange as it may appear; there are not wanting men among us Who advocate special privileges l for other interests, in which a few thousands only of our citizens are engag. , ed, for the purpose, as they say, of.henefitting, largely this the greatest interest -Nnw, why! not directly build up the interest upon which all others are \ dependent; and thus promote those, instead of caring for the lesser ones,, apd indirectly the larger? . Would-net such a Polie.y be the true one? We are no advocates' for special legislation of any but we do protest that'.the interest that supports all the others. should have the first chance where any is given. • _ Ur. as in I Par- The State Agricultural SOciety of New York receives, annually; an appropriation from the State 0188,000.

Allow me, fellow citizens, to offer for your Icons/aeration, a few ideas On the utility of so ieial libraries; antiltere.naay I be - permitted to say, that, in my opinion,based upon experience, there is nothing more conducive to moral and intellectual improvement, our religious insti tutions excepted, than they - are,Whenever and wherever established. Onrs is called a read ing community, and es far 'as newspapers and fashionable periodicals and; jo • untals are con ceinedh is unquestionably so.- It is of impor 1‘ tanee that we have our neWspapors, by which 'we obtain the current intelligence of the day: and the light 'rending and novelty of, fancy' magazines and pamphlets to a. certain extent. .is of unquestionable - -utility. But surely it must be acknowledged, generally, that this is not enough—that something more solid and. L enduring ought to be induced to form correct morals and habits, and to fit the mind for use fulness: To balance this defect, many aniong us' have, at considerable exPense," made an ap. proximation towards a library, and realized the ' benefit thereof to ourselves and families, While we behold our means too; limited to complete the enterprize; an enterprize which nothing but social libraries can taimplete. Every town. ship ought, because its moral and intellectual interest demands it, have its well assorted and well regulatea library. And it should be re.; garded, nourished, cherished , -fostered , perpet uated and enlarged with pH that-zeal and care that a kind and provident farther would en-. courage schools and the education of is Lin, ily, since education, on a mare extensive scale, may be devised from the same. Allow me to draw a picture for your con templation. Suppose one hundred persons should each pay the moderate sum of three dollars making the roan& sum of $3OO :_with this-sum from 150 to 200 volumes might be obtained. -.Let-each proprietor make a draft ! for the specified time; ati.when the velutne is introduced into his,Lmily, let him :matte it a rule inviolable, to spendi one hour at least out of every, twenty-four,- in reading that • volume. Yds, Jet the labors of the day,' without doors and within, be so arranged, that the Lmily cir cle may be .formed at least one hour before, retiremeneto rest, and let the rolunie be read by some one of the family, or by several in turns, ; while the Others year. And, I would propose that the hearerS.shOuld, at- . the same time, act as connoisseurs or prompters, to cor- _ reet the reader for any defect or fault that may be committed, either itrnecentuation, *nun; elation, emphasis,•eadenee -or enunciation; to getherwith the freedom of remark and com mentary upon the subject, at the. close orthe exercise. : . , lf: any orm perchance to doubt the utility of the introduction of thp above, or a similar system, let.hint try it fora few, weeks, and ex perience will remove every doubt.
