If a single goodreason can be produced why the
proceeds of the public lands should be given to
the States, we will agree to advocate the scheme
in oar paper. We have never yet met with an ir
gumetit that convinced us of the utility of this
much talked Of measure. The public lands belong
to`.the people of all the States—when sold, the pro
ceeds go into the National Treasury, where they
of sight should go, and are appropriated towards
defraying the expenses of government. The Money
thus raised, to a certain extent, does away with 1
the necessity of imposing heavy taxes (or high
tariff.) on - the people, to support the National
Government. We hope the sovereizn States of
this Union will never become mendicants at the
door . Of the . General Government!

Resolved, That .the sub-treasury is as injurious
to the.business of the country as it is inconvenient,
expensive and absurd.
MOIR powerful reasoning! That is an assertion
of Mr. Dunlop without a shadow of proof to sus-
tarn it. How under the sun can the sub-treasury
be injnrious to the, business of the country? As
to the uabsurdity" of, the measure, that is a mere
matter of opinion. The whole question can be
stated in -a few words. The Government must
have some safe depository for its funds. The de
mociacy say' that the Government should keep its
ownnioney in-its own Treasury, to be disbursed by
its own sworn officers. Here it is as safe as any
otherylace, and can always be reached when need.
ed. The fedeiifista, on the other hand, are in favor
of taking the Teople's money from the people's
treaium and giving it to the banks, to be loaned
out specu'utors. The bank suspcndspayment,
locks op the people's money in its vaults, and per
hapsleaves the Government without the means to
carry on' its operations. We all remember the
occurrences of 1837. Mr. Dunlop has not forgot.

LETTER XVI..
Heinteinimon, January 25tb; 1847.
Severat'of the, Senators' were absent to.
among wkorti-waithe Speaker, Mr. Gibbing, who
was called away on'.. business to the city; he will
be in his-sea tinitirroW. It is some time sineel
wrote to:you before; bit the truth is, there was
'nothing Worth while to write about, and it is very .
herd to Make a - letter interesting, when a peieni
liminothing of interest.to mention. Some editors
imagine that their correspondents should write
lay how, though there he no subject of which a
writer could seize hold—yet still, to gratify the
public, something must be written, and when there
is no : news; news should be fabricated to suit emer
gencies. Letter writers are too often in the habit
of doing so, and it is true, that the more improba
ble the story, so much the more gratifying is it to
the public. "Such is human nature; it leaves that
Which is probable, to grasp atter what is wonder
ful, and pevsons then eianuld sometimes be excused
when they depart Trom the truth, especialli when
their object is so laudable, to gratify the public
taste. However other writers may act, I shall
narrate'nothing but what is strictly true, and if
theories or prophecies are mentioned in my lettert,
they are my own speculations arising from my
own peculiar views.
The business of the session has but barely com
thenced. In the Senate, every thing hereto has
'proceeded with dispatch, but probably this is in a
great measure owing to the peculiar nature of the
business, which 'has been is yet entirely local, and
of .no party tendency. I cannot say what will be
their conduct when party questions come up for
'discussion; persons are fond of speaking, (at least
they are who represent the people,) and no doubt
all occasions will be seized upon, to publish to
'their constituents what a mouth piece they have at
Harrisburgh Mr. Bigler appean3 to be the leader
of the Democrats, and as a sound, logical debater,
.lie is unequalled in the Senate; he rankahigh among
all parties, - and commands the respect of enemies
and the love , of friends. On the Whig side there
are several who would be fit leaders in any emer
gency.. Mr,- Gibbons appears to be the favorite;
though there are others whd are equal to him in
'debate, still as a man unequalled. The Senate
I:does not embody , much talent;. they are all go
;sound, praCtical men, and but few, very few, are
~gifted with qualities which would place them so
far above the criktd is to dazzle or astonish with
their brilliancy.
I In the House there is a greater diversity of tal
Cot, owing to the greater number of the members;
Some are good, few are better, and none are super
latively excellent but in the diminishing scale you
;might go down to zero, and even below it. The
'whole business is conducted by a few, and th c ese
few work night and day—the whole labor is thrown
upon them; the others not being capable, or else
unwilling to assist. The Allegheny representation
is the most respectable in the . House. Headed by
11Ir. High*, they at all timesi . command
thefe
spect and attention of the rest. Mr. Highlands is
th 2 working member, he is an honest, infleiible,
;and attentive representative, and commands a great
deaf of influence. But lam wandering; instead 01
informing you of the business now before the Le
gislature. I have taken the pencil, and attempted
to sketch out (roughly) both Houses and some of
the members. I. must stop for the present; hut
s-ill. On some future occasion, revert to the mem
bert whom I have not yet mentioned.
A petition, was presented by Mr. Highlands, in
the House, from the citizens of Pittsburgh, remon
'strafing against the passage of any law relieving
the courity'from the payment of damages in open
ing streets in the new wards.
A resolution passed, authorizing the Committee
on Ways and Means to inquire into the propriety
of appropriating 2 sum of money not exceeding
$5OOO, for the relief of the indigent families of the
Pennsylvania VOlunteers.
The Pennsylvania Railroad Bill was killed •on
final reading; it will be reconsidered.
They talk of adjourning the Legislature about
the ISth of March, not before that. KARL.
o:3•Several gross blunders were made by the
Compositor in putting .She proceedings of the
Democratic Convention in type for yesterday's pa
per. We republish a couple of the resolutions as
corrected: '
Resolved, That we recognise in James K. Polk.
the fearless and able Statesman, and the unwaver
ing and devoted patriot—and that we have every
confidence in his ability, that, whether in war or
ih. peace, the rights of our common country, and
our national honor will be protected and main
tained.
Rewired, That the Convention, representing the
Democracy of Allegheny County, have undimin
isbed confidence in the rapacity, integrity and pat
riotism of Francis R. Shunk—that in all his acts,
as the °Chief Mag istrate of this Commonwealth,
Ave recognise the faithful, honest and incorruptible
man. That during his administration, nothing has
been committed or done by him which has proved
derogatory to himself or inconsistent with the
principles of the Democratic party—end that he is
eminently entitled to the continued support of the
Democracy of the State for a second term.
. 1114.1:7mo iron rns VOLUNTLIIIII.-A great
meeting was held in Boston on Friday night, fo;
the Purpose of aiding the Volunteers for Mexico.
Several patriotic speeches were delivered and reso.
lutions adopted, 'among the latter, one declaring
that the Legislature ought to vote the $20,000 pro.

of a scene he recently witnessed in the wealthy
city of Boston:
"In a miserable borel which he entered, he
found a man lying dead, with some of the family
drunk about hiin. In the same room with the
corpse a couple were being married—the bride.

man had just cast off—and every thing Was going
on merrily as though it was a very jovial time."

CONNZcTlCllT.—TheDernocratie State Conven
tion met'at New Haven on 'Friday. Hon. Samuel
Ingham was nominated for Governor, on 2d ballot,
leaving 50 out of 77 votes.
A correspondent of the New York Journal of.
Commerce describes a visit he recently made to the
.
Presidential Mansion. He pays a high .
cornpli.
meat to the intelligent and pious lady of the Pre
sident Read what he says:
.These musings were !Don interrupted by the
entrance of Mts.lk, who with an easy smile
and a graceful simplicity of manner bid me 7xel
come as-an American citizen, and partaker of a
common faith. Mrs. Polk bears her honors meekiy,
and surely it is no mean elevation to be the wife 1
of an American President; an elevation to which
many fond and ambitious aspirations are doubt
less secretly cherished in the bosoms of high-mind
ed American females, but which only one now and
then can enjoy.
And this one probably was among the last to
covet or expect it, till the stage news came from
Baltimore to disturb the quietude of her happy do
mestic life in Tennessee. Mrs. Polk may be con
sidered a felicitous specimen of the genteel Ameri
can lady, who without artificial airs, without any
assumed stateliness of manners, without any-am
bitious ornaments of dress; exchanges the courte
sies of social life, and demeans herself in public,
with a sincerity somewhat rare in the current cir
cles of fashion. I cannot but think that the basis
of her style of character isplaid in a true and unaf
fected piety. She is regular in her attendance on
divine worship, and on the Communion of the
Lord's. Supper. In this conversation she expressed
her great delighti among similar things, in having
recently witnessed and welcomed the admission of
three or four interesting youth to the Communion
of the Church (Presbyterian) of which she is a
member. Unlike some of her predecessors, Mrs.
Polk has no taste fur the gay arousemenis of the
lovers of pleasure. Hence she escaped the morti
fication of that almost ludicrous scene exhibited
the other night at Jackson . Hall, when the build
ing took fire, and the irruption of the angry element
so unceremoniously ejected the merry dancers
from the scene of their mirth-"
Letter from the Second Regiment.
We have received the annexed letter from a mem
ber of the Cambria Guards, which will be found
somewhat interesting. It is the first we have re.
ceived from Col. Roberts' Regiment since it land.
ed in New Orleans:
New ORLEANS, Jan. 15, 1847.
• • We arrived here about o'clock, P. M.
I suppose you remember it was somewhat cold
when we left Pittsburgh; it did not moderate until
we reached Louisville. We are warm enough
now; the sweat is standing in huge drops upon my
forehead whilst I write. It is as warm here now
as a summer's night in Pennsylvania.
We passed Cincinnati and Louisville in the
night, so that I cannot speak of - them. The last
day of our trip was very agreeable. It was fine
and warm—the scenery rich and beautiful. The
cotton plantations were spread before us; orange
trees in full bloom, and laden with their delicious
fruit.
Vicksburgh is a bard looking place. It has the
appearance of a half dozen Pennsylvania stone
quarries huddled together, with a house here ar.d
there stuck on the ridges. I liked Baton Rouge
better: it is rather pleasant looking—being neatly
shaded and regularly laid out.
I am afraid we may have to leave New Orleans
in a day or two, or I should have delayed this letter
in order to say something of the appearance end
aff.iirs of this great city. Ido not (as some do)
regret having left home for the: cars. lam well
and in good spirits.
We expect to be shipped for Point Isabel or
Tampico; I should prefer the latter place, but I
hale not the choice.
We have had some rough boarding since we left
—beans and pork for dinner, and the same for
breakfast and supper.
One of our men has been afflicted with mania
potu. Another has been a little crazy, and threw
his dinner overboard, and then tried to follow, but
did not succeed. With these exceptionsyll was
order and quiet.
About fifty of our mea left the boat at one of
the wooding places in spite of the guard; but for
tunately no bad consequences followed, except
some trouble which the crazy man gave us.
I base written this letter after 1 o'clock at night.
J. B. H , of the Cambria Guards.
This is the title of a new Anti•Slarery paper

number of the paper has just been shown us.—

with interesting Political, Literary and scientific
matter.

regretted that the letter was published at all, until
application was made to the proper source for cor
rect informatlon.—Chronicle.
0:7 In the same paper in which the letter ap
peared, we published an "explanation . ' given to us
by a prominent member of the “War Committee,"
and which differed but little from the more detailed
account of our 'contemporary. We believe, how
ever, that the whole matter has been satisfactorily
explained. The disposition of the money intend
ed for the Volunteers is considered just; and all,
both citizens and volunteers, must be contented.

TION CAN DE CUREI).--MIE. Mary Bowers, wile
of Henry Bowers, was for a length of time afflicted
with' a "Pulmonary Complaint," which defied the
united skill of several eminent physicians. She
hearing of the "Expectorant Remedy," was induc
ed to give it a trial. Her sympathies were those
of Phthisis Pulmonalis, or Pulmonary Consump
tion, viz. a dry hacking cough, pain in the breast
and side, impaired appetite and great thirst, hecti:
lever, and night sweats, with much debility and
weakness. Sheis happy in saying that after using
three bottles of the nExpecturant Remedy" she
began to have hopes of a speedy recovery; her
strength gradually increased until she had used
three bottles more, when she felt entirely restored,
it now being eight months'since, and no symptoms
of the complaint appearing.
