- of ' . equality and a compreheosive political philoso
,`Phy, are watching with the burning lust of a wild

annals, let'no deep stain of reproach be cast upon
'her character, by impelling her into ranks from
which she has always kept aloof, and let her not

These three ktirmiea*Pithe words, which occur
red in thelthi r ie Ohs; President, have been
VtaltieulatlyarikoiimiOtlie Federal party! Had
the President eFtendedd4,Meralage to double- its
length ; alai discussed war, ;finance, political eccui6
orgy, orluiyothet theme, these gentlemen would
have, kept C,pol'and
„quiet, Bat the words "aid axt
comfreem to have touched them to the veryheart, frtd set in motioli every nerve in their" sensi
tive natures! They wtithe, squirsvi, bleed, at the
simple menticiii . of thOse wolik.l42# almost fancy
they see a gallows before iheir eyes when they
venture out night! Poor creatures! 'Tis a pity
the President did'', J .consult them beforel.vriting
his message, and use* "soft and honied words" to
please their fancies! Major Noah, who is now the
editor of a • neutral paper in tfie city of New York,
and is by nn means a political friend of the Presi
dent, thus speaks of the "aid any! comfort" which
the opponents of the War are affording to Mexico:
"Aro ism Cosreolve."—The President, in his
message, uses - these words as applicable to those
opposing the war. What is "aid and comfort to
the enemy?" Furnishing men, money, &c., &c. Is
that all _NO. Charging your own country with
injustice towards Mexico—threatening to impeach ,
the • President for doing his duty--declaring our
country bankrupt. These•and similar declarations
are "aid and comfort." aye, and enroaragement to
the 'enemyto keep the Wit against us. They are
. ,
acts of moral treason, and in effect they are mani
festoes to_keep tip the spirits, the hopes, and the re
sistance of that country. No trne.Anierican will
allow himself to pursue such a coot-i.e.—Major
NOah.
" The message of the, : Hon. Jontr Yonsre,-the
new. Governor of New York, was read in both
houses of the Legislature on the sth inst. It is
distinguished by the commendable quality of bre
vity, occupying but three columns of the Albany
Atlas. He presents a matter-offait view of the
affairs of the State. The condition of the public
finances is stated :
The State debt on the 30th Sept
was. .... ' .. . .. ........ . . .... $9 4 , 13 :1, 0 30 95
Deducting contingent liabilities.. 23,021,080 93
Of which is canal debt , 17,028,240 13
To the extinguishment of the 'whole debt, the
sum of $1,550,000 is appropriated until 1855, by
the Constitution. .
The revenues of the canals (including $23,101 SO
tolls,) hate amounted, for the last year;
to $2,842,214 13. Of this sum, after the pledges
of expenses, interest, sinking fund, ecc., are
provided for, there will remain $209,641 08. But
this balance is not in the treasury, but has been
paid to the extinjuishment of the State debt.—
Theft has been also an excess of payment on the
State debt, which ; if placed within the control of
the Legislature will leave, with the other means
mentioned, $702,276 20 to be applied to the un
&fished 'works, the general resumption of which
is urgently recommended.
Strange as it may appear the important subject
of Anti-Rentism is not once alluded to by Gov.
Young! But what does the Governor care about'
that party. Although elected by their votes, he is
now in the Chair of State, and the interests of the
Federal party will solely engross his attention.
The Senate adjOurned on Tuesday after the read
ing of the Governor's Message. ,
In the House,' Wm. C. Ilashrouch, of Orange,
was chosen Speaker by a vote of 71, to :50 (or J.
Lawrence Smith, of Suffolk; Phihnuler B. Prindle,
of Chenango, Clerk; Daniel B. Davis, of Montgom

From the, message of the • Gorernor, recently
transmitted to the legislature, we make the follow•-
ing extract:
Our State for the last six years has been unable
to meet her liabilities. For a portion of that pe
riod, the public debt had increased, by the accumu
lation of interest, with fearful rapidity; and at the
close of the fiscal year, immediately preceding my
qualification as Gore' n 3t, the arrears of interest
amounted to 5143'2,131 51.
• • . 000
1 I will now proceed to show that yoti will be
ijuitified, without the imposition of additional tax
es, in funding the arrears of interest, and in pr o .
claiming the day upon which the State shall re
sume
the payment of all current demands upon
her treasury, and thereby cast off forever the re.
proach which for so many years has rested upon
her and her people. I will sUppose that you will
decide to fund to the let of October next, exclu
sive of the interest of that quarter. This will
make the interest due and to become due to that
date, SI,o - ,:x.,3 3:1
The annual claims upon the Treasury consist
of tie ordinary expenses of the government,whiel l
may be estimated at s:,luo,riou
The interest on the 'public debt, ex-
elusive of the interest on the tobac.
co loan, which is paid by that (rind,
at 651,5Q.1
Making the present annual demands
upon the Treasury $551,821
To this you must add the interest on•one mil
lion two handled thousand dollars, the debt now
proposed to be refunded, at such rale as in your
judgment the honor of the State, and the just claims
of her creditors may require you to establish.
The receipts for the last year were, from the
diiect tax $323,069 67
And from other sources 394,703 04
(G . - The editor of the Journal, in that flippant
style peduliarly his own, though somewhat expur
gated of his natural proneness to vulgarity, has
seen proper to say this and say that in regard to
our article headed "Silenced." He promises his
- readers a review of the article,sekbespeaks their
attention as he intends: to exhaust his wit in the'd•
fort. We heartily rejoice in being the instrument
ta prevent this hypochondric from poisoning him
self with his own gall. It is a sin to attempt to
stop the merriment of a man confessedly "Misera
ble." 'He believes us "harmless." He is right;
we would not harm him for the world, nor say an
unkind' word - or so amiable a gentlenian. This
"miserable" man has our compassion when he
is waspish, for his habits have blunted the Sting
in his tail. When he is disposed to be hypercriti
cal, arid merry withal, we bespeak for him the
largest audience Ito applaud his galvanized efforts.
We cannot but be diverted at the mode the editor I
of the Journal -takes to. 'exhibit his vanity. and!
self-admiration. A gentleman mentioned to us
the other day that Mr. R. called on him with his
paper in-his hand and to his utter astonishinent
conimenced readiug to him some bard things said
to th
.
eVost.- "Don't that -rut him?" enquited the
editor:, with keeri admiration of his cutting abilt
ties: • P.lsn't that into him?" "Can he stand that?"
—and soon. The gentleman looked at hidi in as
tonishment,= wondering-whether he was drunk 'or
beside himself. :We toughed et:the' joke, and our
&lend; laughed too: , ,-.- .7'. - . .

The nominations for chief clerk only, have been
made to4lay. Mr.: Flemming, of Dauphin; being
the caucus nominee pf the )chips, was presented
by them,. and Mr.! Gach the present Clerk, was
nominated by the aentnerats.
In the Senate, 24r. Hammersly was nominated
for chief clerk by the Whigs, and Mr. Goodrich by
the denvcrate; and for assistant clerks there were
two whigs nominated, Mr. Sullivan and Mr - . Gleim;
the Democrats nominating Mr. Zeigler.
There. appears to Lc a great deal of dissatisfac
tioii esiating among the whigs generally at the
nomination of Mr. Hammersly. I always thought
that rotation in Office was the polar star in the
Whig horizon. Mr. Hammersly has been clerk
in the Senate - kt a former period'for Se.veral'yeari;
and now be is nominated for the same situation

Several thousand copies were ordered to be printed
for the use of both houses.
The bill authorizing the Philadelphia and Read-
ing Railroad company to declare dividends in cer
tain cases, gave rise' to considerable debate, but
was passed on final reading.
• Several Bills, in regard to the payment of the
Volunteers, were read in both Houses.
. The message is lan able document—clear, pert

the Legislature. KARL.
If santsucaou, January Sth, 18413;
This day, the anniversary- of the battle of. New
Orleans, has been here the coldest day of the sea
son. Clear and chid, with a strong north wind
whirling and groaning round the - corners of the
streets. Winter hits sent on in advance his Ines.
senders, and we may now expect to bid farewell for
a season to n blue sky and grateful sun, and plunge
at once into snow, and wind, and sleet, with an
occasional cloud of the blues.
The Legislature !has at length titeome'organizett.
The House electedliHr. James Moorhead, Sergeant
iat Arms; Jacob Sanders, Doorkeeper; and 'E. 14.
l3igbam, Messengdr. The Whig members may
indeed be well satisfied that there elections are
over, for they hate . been pestered night and day
i wiib applicatiiina r4ce. The
,ssicctiortil i w.
excellent, so rat. orjudgingi and
!I believe every person here is also satisfied, with
the exception of some disappointed ofnee7seeker—
and they are always to be met with.
In the House complimentary resolutions were
passed in honor to the memory of General Andrew
' Jackson. How true is it, that no man is great un
til the grave has closed upon his lifeless body. Ko
man has been more villitied than Andrew Jackkon
—no man has had to unde'rgo so much calumny
and detraction—and no man has felt more the
vindictiveness of pa rty irm:;' : But now how changed!
His most bitter enemies hi s ive become his warmest
friends: his calumniators the highest in his praise!,
And there seems to! be but one wish, to remember
him as a great and good man.
Resolutions were also passed in the House, es•
pressing the thanks of the Pennsylvania Legisla
ture, in the name of the people, to General Zachary
Taylor, and the brave army under his command.
Thrs is all right enough, but vs by nut thank also
Commodore Connor and the men under his com
mand for their efficient services in the Gulf? This
Legislature will be characterized by a narrow dad
selfish spirits it shows itself already.' When an
amendment was offeredoo the above resolution in
cluding the names of Gen. Worth and General
Butler, some of the Whig members opposed it
bitterly, under the :chlidish excuse, that because
they were not present in the battles of the Sth and
Ittfl of May, no thanks should be given them. But
the secret of the matter is, that they were afraid
of adding to the popularity- of Gem Butler, who
in the next political . campaign will be lOrominent
candidate of the Defriociatie party for President of
the United States,
,Such conduct should be ccn•
demned which would detract from a soldier's merit,
because he is a member of .a different party.
There was but little business transacted in either
house.

The prompt patriotieni.displaYed by the volun
teers of Reading. in' responding to the call of 'their
country,,ip the hour of need, is warmly apprecia
ted by the President, to whom .1 lave presented
the greeting of your citizen soldiers. In the day
of battle, should that day arrive; I know they will'

old Keystone. • --
My heart swells - With honest exultation to wit
ness the noble rival6r:among the volunteer com

Pennsylvanian, May it ever be-thus!
In this generous.i rivalry, I rejoice' that "Chu
Reims" has maintained her accustomed patriotic
position. Nor ought we to - forget, the generous
liberality'of the citizens of Reading. They. have
thus shown themsebies to be worthy of' thelirave

It is the general opinion that another Regiment
will be called for, from this state,.soon, but it

Should this prove true, we are warranted in say
