Rini , la Ciscutsrn.—Adifficulty occurred I
in this city on August Bth, in which a German 1
V i plunteer Company..hnd a number of citizens
were thei principal actors. It appears from the
p' 'cutars, that Lieut. Heckle, the . commander
o the company had; (luring the.parade,
.struck
rer
seal boys, following'ffiem, with his sword so
severely as to cause blood to lIoor.• After the
Company had been dismissed a number of boys
attacked the Soni Sorrel House in.„which they
were quartered, with stones and other missiles.
This enraged the military', whoAriished out, and
tbeboys being joined by the citizens, a general
figltensued. A.Constable, Mr.lones, who in
terfered, was severely injured upon the wrist by
Lieut. Heckle, who 'cut him with his sword.—
The City Marshall with his posse, repaired to the
spot, and entering the house,lmcceeded in secur
ing and arresting fiftcen orrilztcen of the Ger
man Company", among whom was Lieut. Heckel.
The whole matter will be tried and we hope to
see the guilty .Rersins severely punished. Oc
currences like this lire becoming too frequent in
this country, and it is only the prompt and
; *fficieut administration of the laws that can ef
fectually prevent them. '

REMOV&L QoEsTiok—ln consequence of Mr.

ofi the Seat orJustice from - Danville to Blooms
burg, in Columbia county, the friends of the re
moval question in that county, we learn,
_are de
leruiiOed, to run a removal ticket at the ensuing
election iiithoot regard to party.
We also learn that an effsrt will be made at
the ensuing session of the Legislature to have
bill passed for the-purpose of submitting the ques
tion of the removal of the Scat of Justice from Or
wigsburg to Pottsville, to the people, at the elec
tion in 1843.
A large portion of our country friends '11;lio
have heretofore opposed removal, have now de
termined to advocaui the measure.

The New Yorkers held audther Tyfer meeting

With good reasceras it strikes me,litat the State

Indisaiait should bei remembered, that! the real

Acall eients, there is plenty' of time yet 'before

I been the curse of the partY, except inlthe mem
orable campaign of 1840.
You can hardly expect me to adviiie you of
any better times here, and You will not be sur
prised to learn that the 'levidences of general dis•
tress appear to be increasing. I have heard with=
ire n few days ' of several cases of indi'vidual suf
fering, t•uffictent to excite the deeepestaympsthy.
One - family, consisting of a fattier, Mother; and
two grown daughters, who have been, accustom
ed to all the luxuries of an easy independence,
are now reduced to the: extreme of abject poverz
ty. lam assured by a .fnend that foil some time
past they have been living on ono meal a 'day,
and that one almost wholly -of potatoes. Another
instance wt's mentioned to me yesterday, of two
ladies, whose joint Meanie has been $4OOO a
year. Thep are now literally penniless—their
whole fume having been invested in Schuyl
kill, Girard and 'UnitekStates Bank : Stocks.—
Doubtless, lundreds of like cases be gath
ered by an enquirer into the late history of Phil
adelphia. The additional misfortune in all is,
that the mtltitudes so reduced in circumstances,
have, but fe- arts of self-support, and such is the
universal stagnation of bueinesslthat there is no
call for any employment whatever.
We haviirenewed rumors, and I doubt not,
well found4cofremovala 'in the - Custorn•House,
to commerce with the Collector. I John Tyler
has now pissed the rubicum. He may carry in
vasion as fa as his ruthless ambitionlmay prompt,
without exiting any surprise. Already ho has
so amply selied all his explicit professions, all
his gmtuitins and solemn pledges, that no further
breach of filth or honor can add to the moral and
criminal guilt which rests upon him. - I have not
heard it' inserted or pretended of the officers in
this CMAcin'"House that they, in any manner,
have interbred with political matters. They are
only known' or believato be Clayrnen or Whigs.
That is de head andi front of their offending—
• and for that they are to be ejected, to make room
for partiia . as of Van Buren—men who were a
mong, the most reckless in their opposition to
John Tyler, when he falsely occupied the posi
lion hi a Wbig, and of a candidate• for Whig

We shoold like to see a similarletter generally
signed by the; peopleomd forwirdea to the pai

President of th . ef:l7nited States
Ste,--Accept some hasty remarks - from one
who has lived long and observed much—who has
watched the Operations of the human mind is
well in those beat on evils a 3 in thossi disposed to
do good., 1 1
Permit me sir, to lay aside those formalities
which- might' beexpected from one in the lower
walla of life when addressing the, chief magis
trate of the United States. In this republican
country no real distinction is recognised that is
not measurett, by the capocity of mind. While
I iddress yon f theti without flattery and dissimu
lation, be . assured it will be in the language of
sincerity and of. troth;
You hold S. situation as exalted and etas much
responsibility,. as - it ever fell, to the lot of mart to
occupy. It is true you hold it under peculiar
circumstances; it therefore behooves you to act
with the more circumspectiiin. You owe the
occupancy of your elevated stationnot to any
peculiar fitness of your own, not to transcendant
talents; but Van afflictive dispensation of Provi
dence—to a; national calatnny.
When tlins, 'by - fortuitous circumstances, you
become the occupant of the executive chair, the
honest dtctates of a. well regulated , mfini should
have influenced you to act in strict accordance
with the wishes of the party whO elected you to
act in a subordinate sphere, and in' which you
would have had no power to - act otherwise. A
mind actuate 1 by c 'mom honesiy, com
mon gratittide and sensibility, would have shrunk
from the vast responsibility. of the station.
trustful of its powers to carry out , the wishes and
.measures of the party—it would have declined
the station,' and, left it for Congress to provide, for
the vacated offlOe.
It is a trite Saying that" every man is honest
,till he ts tried." What a fine opportunity .was
here presented to you to prove your honesty, to
chew forth•your magnanimity and to have im.
"monetized! yOurself in the minds of this greet
nation and uf the world! but whatever may have
been your 'own resolution, they 'rave been weak
ened or destroyed by corrupt arid bad advisers,
who, while;they professed to provide for y'bur
unhallowed ambition, have been secretly - de.
signing their own advancement. By following
their evil - council, and the evil workings of un.
I chastened ambition, you hive forfeited the good
I.'opinion of.your countryinen, you have advanced
too far in obstinacy and perverseness to retreat.
It would be vain for you to hope ever to regain
their favour.- 'They too sensibly feel the wound
inflicted. , They con sider yourconduct ae nothing
better thin moral treason.. , They have • suffered
ander the obliquity of your mind until their pa
tience is exhausted—until rage and resentment
have taken possession of minds hitherto , accus
tomed only to the mildest passions.
Should the connect of wisdom and experience
for a moment, bp permitted to reach your ear i
would respectfully. yet decidedly and energcti.
tally, say , to you," Retire, ail., from a Ration
whickyou were never qualified to fill either with
-hon Our to yourself or-glory to your country; re
tire to private life, and there in seclusion and,sol
itude by yOur acts of devotion , endeavour to ob
tain pardon from (leaven for the deep injury in
-fueled on your &ountrv. Spare the country from
the still greater degradation of arraigning its
Chief Magistrate before the ;highest earthly tri
bunal, for being guilty in office of high ,crimes
awl misdenseaburs. In this way, and to' this
only, can you obtain forgiveness from_ your
injured e.antryoien and from offended [leaven."
'lt is difficult to conceive of a mind so depraved
as to be:willing to inflict:distmss on a whole na
tion for the purpose of receiving advantage to its
possessor. Flow much greater then must appear
your obliquity and perverseness, wtisn, in bring
ing injury on the nation, you bring rum tu your
self.,
Dist:hiss your unworthy coterie of evil ccuim
sellors.—Take this letter to youi bed chamber,
and when'you have diimissed from your mind;
Of the thing be possible,),All intriguing and elec.
tioneerihg thoughts, givo it an attentive perusal.
Should it have a salutary influence you may
again hear from me; should you prove ibcorrigi

The Apportionment Dal.
The Governor having detorinined not to sign
the Apportionment Bill, and the reason assigned
by his prgan, the ( The Keystone ) for this step,
being that tho bill does not do justice to the Loco
Epee party, we ini've been induced to examine the
matter for our own satisfaction ; and will lay the
result of ant inquiry before our readers, as much
as a matter of curiosity, as of satisfaction.
In this bill our opponents claim at mem
bers oil* YCongress, and ; allow the Whigs NINE,
being a majority of firtir members. Now does
the state of 'parties in the Suite entitle our oppo
flouts .to so cauch-advautage I Let us see.
In the Governor's election of '32, Wolf beat
Ritner something over 3,000, ( we give round
"numbers_ as we speak from memory.) In '3b,
the united vote of Wolf and Muhlenburg, exceed
ed that of Rimer about 12,000. In '3B, Porter
beat "Ritner about, 7.000, and•in'4l, Porter's ma
jority over Banks was nearly 23,000. In the
, Presidmtial election in '35, Yon" Buren carried
the - State by something over 3,000 majority, and
in '39 the Hams= electors were elected 9y a lit
tle over 300 majority. Arid how di; these major-
Wee-compare' with this apportionment bill 1 10,-
000 votes to each district would be a fair anew
once.; this.would make the entire veto of the State
240,000, full as mush as would be given in a con
' gresstonal election. The highest majority the Lo
co Foca party has had in the State for seven years,
was given hilt fall ; and that was no test, as a ref
erence to the votes of the parties will prove most
incontestibly. Yet, allowing them that majority,
it would entitle them to but TWO members. The
apportioiament bill, however, allows them Pict of
a. majority in the representation to Congress,• be
ing equal to a majority of 50,000 votes; 25,000
mere than the wildest loco foco in the State will
pretend to claim. And the Governor thinks this
bill does not give his party a fair representation
in the State. What wilt satisfy him? t What
will give his party a fair representation:— Capita
ion.
Mops are the most cowardly assemblages in
the' world. They cannot log stand up to the
rack and fight. The least symptons of determin
ed opposition - will frighten a regiment of ruffians,

that cavalry are at hand,. will scatter: them like a
flock-of partridges. While the Hall was burning
in ;Lombard street on Monday night, some slight
outcry of horse, or soinething of that sort, terrified
the mass, and for a moment hundreds fled panic
stricken.
The sound of a bugle or the hemp of horses
feet would have cleared Lombard street better
than a discharge . of artillery. A friend informs
us, that he was present at the meeting of a great
Mob in London some years since. There were
20,000 present. The speakers were violent, and
the,peeple frantic, and ready for any excesses.—
Suddenly the . notes of a bugle were heard in an
adjoining street and the cry of cavalry • went up
among the crowd. ' Panic stricken, the mob fled
in every direction, and in five minutes - scarcely a
hundred rioters were visible. The 'bugle tinned
out to be the pacific notes of soma stage, horn.—

lIIIAJOSTY IMPORT
ON' THE LATE VETO ME SAGE
; • . • - ;
Ma. ADAMS rose, - stl, in a - firm and diatinct
tone of 'voice, - audibht - in every part '
of the Hall,
read his report' as follows :
- The Select ComMittee, to whom was referred
tile - Message of the President oTthe United States
returning to thisHduse the act, which originated
in it, tt to provide yevenuo from imports, and to
Change and modify 'existing laws iinposina duties
on imports, and for 'other purposes," with his ob-
jections to it, with ;instructions to report thereon
to the House, haver attended to that service, and
-espectfully report

The Message is the last of a series of executive
measures, the malt of which has been to defeat
sad nullify the whet() action' of the Legislative au
thority of this UniOn, upon the most important In
terests of the natiop. '
At tho accessioP of ibis late President Harrison,
by election of the People, to the E;ecutive chair,
the finances, the revenue, and the credit of the
country were found in a condition so ireatly dis
ordered and so latiouiebing, that the ;firstact of
his administration was to tall a special session of
Congress, to provide a remedy for this distempered
etate.of the great body politic..lt was even then
diseasa of no sudden occurrence, and of no ordi
nary malignity...: •
Four years before, the immediate predecesvorof
General Harrison! had been eenstrained to resort
to the same expedient, a, special session of Con
gross, the - result of which had only proved the first
of a succession of palliatives. purchasing' momen
tary relieve at the expense of deeper seated disease
and aggravated symptoms, growing-daily more in-
ense:through the whole lour years of that Admin
stration. It had expended, from year to year,
roan eight,to ten millions of dollars beyond its in•
come, absorbing in that period nearly ten millions
pledged for deplite with the States, eight trillions
of stock in itietailk of the United States, front
five to six millions of trust funds„and . as much
Treasury ingtes; end was sinking under the weight
of 'its own improvidence and incompetence. '
The sentence of a suffering People had comman
ded a change in the Administration, and the con.
temporaneous etections throughout the Union had
Placed in gth Houses of Congress majorities, the
natural exponents of the principles which it was
the will of the People should be substituted in the
administration of their Government, instead Of
those which had brought_ th s e country to a condi-
tion of such wretchedness and shame. There was
perfect harmony of principle between the chosen
President of the People and this cuajority, t thus
constituted in both Boluses_ et Congress; and the
first act of his sdnainiStration was to call a special
session of Congress for their deliberation and ac
tion upon the measures necessary for relief to the
public distress r and to retrieve the prosperity of the
great communityof the nation.
On the 31st day of May, 1841, within three
months after the inauguration Af President Harri
son, the Congress assembled at his call. But the
reins of the Executive car were already in other
bandq. -By 'an inscrutable decree of Providence
the chief of the People's choice, in hairfiony with
whose principles the majorities of bbth houses had
been constituted, was laid low in death. The
President who had called the meeting of Congress
was no longer the President when the Congress
met: A successor to the office hail assumed the
title with totally different principles, though pro
fessing the same at the time of his election, which,
far from harmonizing, like those of his immediate
predecesSor, with the majority of both Houses of
Congress, were soon disclosed in,dicimetrical
position td them. '
The first developement of this new and most
unfortunate condition of, the General Government,
was manifested by the failure, once and again, of
the first great measure intended by Congress to
restore the credit of the coaritry by the e.tablish
mein of u Nationar Bank—a failure caused exclu
sively by the opperation of the veto power by the
President. In the spirit of the Constitution of the
United States, the Executive is not only separa
ted from the Legislative povver..but made depend
ent upon the responsibility toil. Until a very re
cent period of out history, all reference in either
House of Congress to the opinions or wishes of
Presitiont, relating to any subject in delibera
tion before them, was regarded as en outrage up
on the rights of the deliberative body, among the
first of whose duties it is to spurn the influence
of the dispenserof patronage and power. Until
very' recently, it was sufficient greatly to impair
the influence of any member to be suspected of
pensonal subserviency to the Executivii; uhd any
allusion to his wishes in debate was deemed a de
parture not leas from decency than from order.
An anxious desire to accommodate the action of
Congress to the opinions and wishes of Mr. Tyler
had !ed to modifications of the first Bill for the es
tablishment of a National Bank, presented to him
fur his approval, widely differing from the opin
ions entertained of their expediency by the major
ity of both Houses of Congress, but which failed
to obtain that approval fur the sake of which they
had been reluctantly adopted. A second attempt
ensued, under a sense of the indispensable necs
-84 of a fiscal corporation to the revenues rid
credit of the nation, to prepare an act, to which
en informal intercourse and communication be
tween a member of the House, charged with the
duty of preparing the bill, and the President :of
the United States himself, might secure by corn-
pliance with his opinions a pledge in advance of
Via approval of the bill; when it should be presen
ted to him. That 'pledge was obtained. The bill
was presented to him in tbo very term% which ho
had prescribed as necessary to obtain his sanction,
and it met the same fate with its predecessor and
it is remarkable that the reasons assigned for the
refusal to approve the second bill are in direct and
immediate conflict with those which had been as
signed for the refusal to sign the first.
Thus the measure; first among those deemed
by : the'Legislature of the Union indispensably ne
cessary for the salvation of its highest interests;
and for the restoration of its credit, its honor, its
prosperity, was prostrated, defeated, annulled N by
the weak and wavering obstinacy of ono man, ac
aidentally, and not by the will of the people, in
vested with that terrible power,tas.ifiprOphetical
ly described by one of his own chosen ministers,
at this day, as "-the right to deprive the people of
self government."
The first consequence of this Executive legate-
Lion was not only to 'prostrate the grata of the
Legislature'itself, to reliefre. the people from their
distress, to replenish" the exhausted Treasury and
call forth the resources of the , country, to redeem
the public faith' to the fulfilment of the national
engagements, but to leave all the burdens and em
barrassments of the public Treasury, brought up
on it by the improvidence of the preceding Ad
ministration, beating upon the, People with aggro-
Noted pressure. The fatal error of the preceding
Administration had been ail excess of expenditure
beyotind its,income. That excess had been an
average of eight millions ?Udine a year, at leait,
during the four years of its"existence. The prec
ticarsystem of its fiscal opperations had been a
continued increase of expenditures and diminution
of revenues; and it left u a bequest to its succes
sor no effective reduction of expenses, but a dou
',ble reduction of revenue to, the amount of
to occur, of course,by the more lapse of time, un
less averted arithin,fifte9 months, by subsequent
legislation.
By the . donMe exercise of the Presidential id:
terdict upon the tvio bills for establishing alias
Lionel Bank this tegelition ries prevented. The
excess of expenditures beyond the revenue contin
ued snail:weasel The double reduction of rev.
enne, prescribed by the compromise of 1833, Was
suffered to take its fig; effect—no reduction of the
expendittfres bed been prescribed : and in the
course of eighteen months, since the iiianguration
of President Harrison, en addition of at least fif
teen millions to the enormous deficit already ex
isting in the Treasury at the close of the last Ad
ministration, is now charged upon the prevailing
party in Congress, by those who had made it 'thy
law, while the exercise of the vete_power alone
disabled the Legislature itself from the power of
'applying the only remedy which it was within the
competency of legislation itself to provide:
The gre a t purpose for which the special ses
sion of Congress had been called was Ulna defeat.
ed by • the exercise of the veto power. — At the
meeting of Congress, at the regular animal ses
sion, the majorities of both homers, not yielding
to the discouragement of disappointed hopes and
baffled energies, undertook the task of raising, by
impost, duth s, a 'avenue adequate _to the necessi
ties of the Treasury, and to the fulfilment of the
national_ obligations.
By the assiduous and unremitting labors of the
committees of both Houses charged with the du.
ties of providing for thd necessities of the fevence,
and for tho great manufacturing interest of the
Northern, Central, and Western States, which'
must be so deeply affected by any adjustment of
a tariff, to raise exclusively s revenue adequate to .
the necessary expenses of the, GUverninent from
duties on imports, a tariff bill believed to be near
ly, if not wholly, sufficient for that purpose, was
elaborated and amply discussed thioitgli a long
series of weeks in both branches of the Legisla
ture. The process of 'gestation through which a
lone such a complicated system.could be organix
eknecessarily consumed many months of time:
nor were - tte committees or the House exempted
from severe tepruach, which the purchased press
es of the Executive Chief are oven yet casting
upon Congrers, without rebuke or restraint from
him. The delays were occasioned by the patient
Arid unwearied investigation et the whole subject
by the appropriate committees. As the period
approached when the so called compr omise tariff
was to be consummated, leaving the.Geyernment
without any revenue tariff sanctioned by the law,
the prudence of Cringress, without precipitatieg
their decision Om the permanent system which
they fondly hoped to establish, provided and sent
to the President , a temporary expedient, limited
in its operation to the space of one month, during
whiCh to avoid, as they thought, the possibility of
a collision with - the apprehended antipathies of
the President, they had suspended for the same
month the distribution of the proceeds of tae sales
of public lands, which, by a previous laW, was to
take effect the day after the expiration &the cum.

ions upon the People, but to prescribe-,.regula
tions for its collection, and for ascertaining the

had, in expreis terms, reserved for the legislative
action of Congress.
And now, to crown this system of continual
end unrelenting exorcist' of Executive legislation
by the alternative, gross abuse of constitutional
power and bold assumption of ['emirs miser vest
ed in him by any law, we come to the Veto Mes
sage referred by the House to this committees—
A comparative review of the four : severe! ye
toes which, to the course of fifteen months, have
suspended die legislation of this Union, combined
with that amphibious production, the reasons lei

public eye by the fatal friendship of sycophant
private correspondents, and stripped to its naked
nature by the repeated end daring assumption
both of legislative and of jpdical power, would
present anomalies of character arid conduct rarely
seen upon earth. Such •an investigation, though
strictly within the scope of the instructions embra
ced in the reference to this committee, would re
quire a voluminons report, which the scantihers
of time will not allow, and which may not be ne
cessary' for maturing the judgment of the House
upon the document now before them.
The roarforis assigned by the President for re-
turning to the House of Representatives, with his
objections, the bill - to provide revenue trim, im.
ports, and to change and modtfy existing laws im
posing duties Mid for other purposes, are preceded
by a brief dissertation upon the painful sensauons
which any individual invested with the veto pow
er must feel in exercising it upon,important acts
of the Legislature. The paragraph is worded
with extreme caution, and with obvious intent t.
avoid be assertion, made in such broad and tin
.qualtfie terms in the letter read at the Philadeb,
his I dependence day dinner party, that Con
gress can exact no law. without the concurrence
of the Executive. There is in this paper a stu•
thous effort to save any ifidOd u al from the no.
putation of asserting the unqiialiaed independence
of the Executive upon the Legislature, end the
ilipetence of Congress to enant-any law without
him. That assertion, wedeln so explicit and un
qualified terms in the Philadelphia letter, is bets
virtually di. , claimed and ilisavomixl. The CSC('
cise of some independence of judgment, in re,.;ar.l
to all acts of legislation, by any individual invest:
ed Otith the veto power, is hero curtailed and nar
rowed damn to the mere privilege of not yielding
his well-considered, most deeply fixed, and repeat
