Several from our county (st lest ' ) in opposition to the new county, were presented by Par. Swartswelder, the member from Allegheny. Original resolutions were then in order. One offered by Mr. Eithlentan, (from I•socaster,) to an amend the , Constitutioo as to have biennial senates. This was debated at peat length, by several gentle. men. Mr. Speaker Packer argued that it repented too widely the people from a cardinal branch of the government, by giving too much power to the Race utive„ in controlling that which is the province of the people!s representatives, with otherstrong and wall put togither remarks. Ile was replied to by Mr. Fenton, in a burst of eloquence that war loud and stormy. This gentleman spoke with great force, and handled his side of the question pretty well. The Whip bare over been favorable to nay project that would deprive the people of being beard; they are for consolidating, and giving power to the few at the expense of the many. But, withal, the speech was good, and was listened to with attention ; he had not concluded when the hour of adjournment had arrived. But little business was transacted this day. Mr. Luchenbaugh offered a resolution that, from and af ter the 19th instant, that this House will meet each and every morning at 9 o'clock, and in the afternoon at 3 o'clock. It was agieed to. This will material ly expedite tit:mincer, for God knows there. is plenty of it on the files of both Houses. Gen. J. K. Moorehead and Mr. Kennedy are here attending to their own affairs in person. You can goes, what that business consists of, (if you hare Yankee genius.) The Investigating Committee are ferreting out the ropery on the public work., and have discovered numerous frauds Mr. Swartswe!der is using all his ingenuity to do the business as it should be, and if time permits, there will be such an account ren dered of the peculation. as will make a about among the people. The worst of the matter is, that save. rtil of these worthies are still in power, working away at State righta, which mil be found State wrongs. There is a report prevalent here today that our Walter. Forward will gut the Post Office. This would be nothing more than justice to a good sound Whig.
