ASTOUNDLNG DEVELOPMENTS!

Most of the readers of the public papers are tics are
that a num eer of the \V big journals of the '....ttate,
some time since, called the attention of the people to
the singular connexion subsisting between U. R•
Porter, his 'rehitions and friends, and the United
:States Bank. Transactions use been discosered,
front which the heinous offence of the bribery of the
first Executße otlicer of this Commonwealth, has ,
been inferred. and in fact the charge . % is beer. direct

l' one to form his own opinion, as to the inferences
which must be drawn from them.
- The r_4OS3lOll of our State legislature, which coms
menced on the 7th day of January. 1840. was one
of peculiar interest. The Banks of the State were
in a state of suspension, and the Van Buren party
ul arms against them. They had a majority iii both
branches of the Legislature, and much anxiety was
telt as to the character' of their proceedings. : The
universal impression was that the Bauk of the' Uni

measures of the most decided character in Telzdr,l to
the Banks. were anticipated. The message was a
lengthy docuo cot. In reference to the suspension,
the 1 ,Mowing passages 'will be found, showing the
nature of his %ivies at that time:
Thy first object to be gained by any recoMmen
danon 1 may make; or by, any measures you may
adapt, no doubt is to secure an early,resumplion of
Npeese paw/ants by the-banks, and to guard against
a like suspension in future."
And again :

this Commonwaalth, and of fixing the ecrlit pen.

affairs and the public wants and expectations justify.
It would, perhaps, be expedielit to g,raduate , tbis ie
sumption, Lido r by tits denomination of notes e r
amounts to be paid. 7 so as to make one fourth or
(core, payable f irthwith. and the residue such
resi-ecti‘e pernlds as in trie Wisdom of the legislature
mi_itit seem to be advisable, provided the time' be
not protracted."
File-Governor concludes his remarks in regard to
Bank reform. in tha following language :
And I accordingly trust, the legislature wdl pro
ceed at once and courageously to the accomplish•
went of this grephsalutary and long expected cork."
The views of the Governor on this subject were. it
appears, well understood by his friends.
° ttn the day the message was sent to the Legisla
lature. a set of resolutions, commencing as follows,
was offered by Mr. Penniman, a ptomment leader of
the patty, from Philadelphia county ;
4-u-. That the banks of this CoMmon

to resume specie payments for all their oblig'ations,
whether in notes, deposits or other liabilities, on or
before the first day of February, eiglate,n htindred
and forts. and Continue the_payment of the aforesaid
obligations in gold or silver."
In cutinelion with this. T. B. WElwee, also a
prominent friend of the Governor, gave tiotte that

fur saying to the representatites of the people in the
legislature, that tvluist they owe a doty to the wants
and wishes of their immediate constituents, there is
a paramount duty to the commonwealth at large, to
maintain Its credita to meet its engagements, and ID
prevent its character for good faith from being esul•
lied. No man, here he collet rued alone as an indi
vidual, would go !either to fix an early day for the
resumption of specie payments by the banks than I
would, if by so doing the desirable result could be
produced. But placed as I am, as the executive of
the commonwealth, to pieside over her interests, I
feel hound to say,, reg'ardless of any denunciation
which may be loured forth from any quarter, that I
believe it too rigorous a system of measures to be
adopted to coerce the payment of the liabilities of the
banks immediately, when the credit of the state must
and will be seriously and disasternusly affected."

We now ctcll attention to certain remarkalle facts
whit h will throw some light upon these transactions,
—facts which have been communicated to us from
the first authority, , and which.cannot be denied.
At the time the suspension resolutioi.s were un
der discussion, and at the most critical period, J.
Madison Porter, brother to the Governor, visited
Philadelphia, al:d passed an evening with T. Dunlap,
the President of the l i. S. B ink. On the next day,
he. together .with George Hai:dy, a director of the L.
S. Bank, Grid F. Johnsen, Attorney General, and
Daniel Brodhead, (Gov. Porter's Comin'r of Loans)
returned to Harrisburg. arid r n the 3d day of April,
the resolution postponing the suspension to the 15th
day of January, 16 . 41. was passed and signed by the
Governor.
ADA
On the 31st of March, as appears front the looks
of the Bank of tl.e U. S. and four days before th e
bill was :passed and signed fy the Governer, the stint
of $15,700 was placid in the Lands of a comtnittre
of Direct , rs.of tt,e U. S. Bank, consisting of GEORGE
HANDL Rich'd Price and Lawrence Lewis. Messrs.
Lewis and Prt:e deny hating received any por

In consummation of the arrangement, and in less
than four weeks after the payment of the first sum
of $15,700 to Handy. and the signing of the bill by
Porter. th 2 further sum of $:•13 500 nas paid t o th e
same Georg.. Handy, viz : April t 13,1. $8:2,500 and
April 17th, $l,OOO. This money all passed through
the hands of Mr. Handy. As before stand, Messrs.
Lewis and Price deny any knowledge of the manner
in which these sums, amounting to $ - 99,200 were
disposed of, or that any part of the money was re
ceived by them.' has the money ever been ac
counted for by Mr. Handy, front any thing that ap.
pears upon the hooks of the Bank. The sums are
charged in the Bank to the contingent cr disburse
ment fend, and Mr. Handy gill dicelosenothing as
to the manner in which the money was spent.

The connexion of the brothers, Porter, Johnson'.
the Camerons, and the Dan. Broadhead , , with taril

It has linen over aed o%er again stated, that Johnson,
Porter's right hand man, owes the IT. S. Bank $25,-

Madison Porter, we are intormed, is at this moment
a large debtor to the I'. S. Batik. Fur what con

from the candid and disinterested, a careful perusal.
Ir addition to what we have stated, one of the
Harrisburg papers adds the important fact, that Geo.

night at Harrisburg. (at Beuhler's Hotel) where they
had an interview with Gov. POrter. Handy theo

of the gentlemen who have done me the honor to
wait upon me, your obliging communication, beat!
tug date this day, transmitting a resolunon adopted
at a public meeting held at Riltimore yesterday, by
which it is proposed to distinguish my expected vis
it to that city by signal public demonsteations. 1
r.ray you, Gentlemen, and those who 'constituted
that meeting, to accept my grateful and' reepeetful
acknowledgments for this new and gratifying proof
of attachment and confidence. 1 should embrace,
with pleasure, the opportunity of visttingyour city,
at this time; but jaded as 1 am, by the arduous la
bors of the session of Congress just e'osed, and sha
ring, with the companions of my journey, an eager
anxiety to terminate it, without delay, I regret that
I must postpone a visit to your city to some future
chat.
If. gentlemen, all has not been accomplished at
the last session of Congress that the public inter
ests demanded, more, much more, has been effect
ed, than I anticipated at its commencement. I fwe
have been greatly aisappointed in the failure of
re
pealed attempts to establish a sound currency, reg
ulate exchanges, and separate the 'Purse from the
Sword, a hat American citizen, o hat Whig sill, on
that account, surrender himself to the sentiments of
an igio.ble despair ? Who will not.say that ae a ill

that of plucking from the Constitution this sign of
arbitrary power, this odious but obsolete vestige of
Royal prerogative. Let us, by a suitable amend

that parent and fruitful source of all our public ills
shall itself be overruled' by majorities in the two
(louses of Congress. They would persuade us that
it is harmless, because its office is preventive or
conservative! As ifa nation might not be as nuch
injured by the arrest of the enactment of good laws
as by the promulgation of bad ones !

Resting, as it does, upon truth, sound policy, and
