' We shall retort° this subject again.'
. , The $ 200000,000 Project;
In last Saturday's JOurnal we published an ar
ticle showing the origin of the above project, and
piomised to give a further account of it es well as
the causes which led to its suggestion. •
it is well known to those versed in our politi
cal history, that the debt of the Revolution *aq
greatly augmented by the last war, and that the
!;public lands, ; which were ceded by the different
'' States to all the States for: the general good, was
pledged fur its payment. A portion of the prin
cipal along with the interest was paid off annual
, ly, whet . ' therevenue arising-from 'the tariffs of
1824 and 1828, joined to the proceeds ofthe sales,
I contributed an amount offrom 8 to $ 10.000,000
; annually; which effected a total extinguishment
of the debt as soon as 1832. A heavy surplus
arisingl,from the revenue and the proceeds of the
sales (the 'expenses of government not having
'Materially increased) now began to flow into the
Treasury, and three vexed questions at once arose
which created.great difficulty, and,it was thought,
might lead to a dissolution of the union: these
were the Public. Lands—the Surplus Revenue,
and the Tariff. The South wanted to destroy the
, Tariff , and allow the,. Proceeds of the Lands to
supply : ' its place, whilst the whiis • and a portion
of the locefuces of the north, wished the proceeds
to be distributed among the States, to which no
one dented that it properly belonged, and to re
tain this Tariff. , At,lthis juncture, which was a
critical:one for the people ofgthe/ United States,
Henry Clay,- who was chairman of the commit
tee to Whom the matter was referred, reported a
bill for 'distributing the proceeds arising from the
eales - among the States, to be employed in inter
nal improvements, which bad been discontinued
on the part of .the General Government under
Jacksent's Administration, and the advancement
of education. This bill, which was presented for
the purpose.of rescuing the Tariff from the des
tractive efforts of its opponents, and which pas
sed Congress by almost a unanimoes vote, was
eked" vetoed by General Jaakson, who retained
it in hiS pocket until the ensuing session, so as
'to preVent the possibility of its being carried by
two thirds. At this period, seeing that the ad
ministration Bill, which' provided fur the -reduc
tion of the Tariff from about 45 to 20 per cent.
was likely to succeed, Mr, Clay introduced the
fainouiponipromise Bill as a measure of neees
coy policy', for the ptepose of delaying the re
dilation ;witiela he saw was inevitable, at the same
time trusting to the after experience of the peo
ple for a change of opinion.
The above were the train of causes which led
citizen of schuyiktil county, Mr. Joseph Lyon,
to form the projeceof issuing $ 200,000,000 in
5 per cent stock, to be distributed among the
—States, the' interest to be paid from the surplus
revencie•in the Treasury: . and the land' pro
- ceeds to be pledged for its gradual ivelemption,
Which bad it been carried into effect -rAld have
disposed of these three - perplexed questions, and
prohablY have.prevented the wide spread ruin
which tlO3 since afflicted our country. As a dis
position was evinced to await the termination of
the Compromise, the :natter ceased to be agitated;
''but now when the evils Which it was intended to
avert', ace weighing the country down, it becomes
_doubly 'lam:nary and imperative.
We were in error, last week, when we men
tioned that it originated in 1833. The first meet-
log was held In Pottsville 'on the fith of June.
1832, and a memorial was framed and sent to
Congress front this place remonstrating against a
, irduction of the Tariff, and urging forward the
distribution of the stock.' The full details of the
preject-were published 'in the Miners' Journal of
September 7th, 1833, and ma the 20th of January,
;' 1834, t meeting was celled in Pottsville, when
followieg, along with other resolutions, was

We would not have dwelt upon this matter so
long, were is nut fur the purpose of forever silenc

fueo papers are endeavoring to create,that this is
an English measure, originating with holders of
State stocks in Europe. We have no desire to
claim credit or praise fur its origin, but only wish

Atilt - mar, Msosaxissi.—fir.Peale's lecture on
Tuesday Evening last, owing to the inclemency of
theweathei, was net very nui»erously attended.
The lecturer; however, proceeded to gratify those
present with an exhibition of some very curious
snd interesting experime'nts,, which in their results
surprised and mystified not only the _audience 'but
the .operators. Beth patients, the toy end young
girl, were magnet!zed, and whilst in that state,
attracted towards each other lyr some strange
sympathy, held a long conversation tugetLer. Mr:
Peale Ind reduced the girl into a m4netic slum
ber ano was engaged in experimenting, when the
Rev. Mr. Evans also magnetized the boy in another
portion of the room, who immediately walked tip
to the platform, and , seating himself opposite the
other patient, began to converse:, This is a new
and unusual effect—Mr. Peale asserted that in the
whole of his experience he never before witnessed
anything of the kind. A Amber of other curious
and satisfactory experiments were' tried, which it
would be impossible for us to describe. We there
fore advise those who still doubt to tided& the lec
ture on next Tuesday evening, when they, will be
all repeated.
( . 0 - • Since publishing the account on our first
page, further particulars of the late tragedy in Phil
adelphia have come to our knowledge. A con>.
ner's inquest wag held upon the body of Heberton
immediately after his death, and a verdict of wil
ful murder was rendered against Mercer; who
was committed to prison to await his trial which
will take place at Woodbury during the March
term oflhe Gloucester Comity Court, Chief Jus
tice Hornblower presiding. Mr. Mercer Will be
'defended by-the ablest counsel the city possesses,
he having retained George M. D.illas, F. W.
Hubbell, and David Paul Brown Esquires ; also
Garrett Esq. of New Jersey.
Mies Mercer, the victim, is said to be in a state
of derangement amounting t 4 insanity. The fu
neral of young Heberton took place on Monday
last; it was large 'and respectable. :several thous
and persons, attracted ,by the excitement of the oc
currence, had assembled to witness the ceremony.
dingle ! jingle ! jingle ! how the sleigh bells

our office window ; and how happy the laughing
occupants seem, just as if there was no care, sor
row, or distress within the circle of our mnudane

is philosophical. H appiness is infectious,

ment of others; and we dont intend drawing a
comparison between those who can enjoy and
those who can% for then we might be accused of
egotism. Money is scarce, and none of our friends
have a fine horse and good sleigh, which is not
unfortunately engaged whenever we would like to

WC are indebted to a friend tor the following
statement of the westlicr during the past week.
It will be observed tbst the thermometer on Friday
was 8 degrees below zero--this: isthe co:dest of the
seison, the 4th of January being but 4 degrees be
low the freezing point.
The heavy snow, wbieh tell ou Tuesday last.
did not d. lay the arrival of the cars toner than
three hours over their usual time. We learn al
so that the West Branch Rail Road was open for
transportation the net day after the storm. It
has thus been proved that the snow will not be so
great au impediment to the trade as was at first
supposed.
i sG"> A Charity Ball for the relief of the-poor of
Pottsville will be given at the Town Tall on Mon
day evening the 20th inst.. It will be seen by re
ference to the notice which appears in enother col
umn, that the tickets of admission are one dollar
each. As the object is a benevolent and worthy
one, we hope that it will be numerously attended
and tho receipts consequently large.
Tun Wsayuca.—The snow, which fell on
Monday night and Tuesday, rimained on the
ground to the degth'of at least twelve inches. The

treed by the Canal Commissionereand their agents
were made, which from theirmnormity would star
tle those .who are yet ignoranfpf them. The ef
fortirof the"Porier faction to kill the bill were des
perate. During the contest, Mr. Wright, the
Speaker, who is a friend..aad advocate of - reformr
spoke boldly to regard to the many eboses: which
had been practised under Ale system. He referred
to the contract on the Delaware Divisionoaken
by lames M. Porter at $ 7,000, for whickhe had
received $ 58,000, and which was not yet settled.
He spoke also of letting - the contract for carrying
the pa,-senggra on the Columbia Railroad, in
which a relation of ithe Governor was preferred
over lower offers, by which the State was actually
defrauded out of thousands of dollars. He also
spoke of a letter he had received from one of the
heads of department, directing him who to ap
point on the investigation committee, which was
'raised for the purpose of enquiringinto these enor
mities, and said that he was not to be tampered
with in fulfilling the duties of his office. This
'exposure created quite a sensation in the House,
as the course referred to was undoubtedly pursu
ed for the .purpose or having the whole matter
whitewashed over. Many other disclosures were
made, and as the whole quarrel was a family one,
the whigs very properly took no part in the debate.
The Bill, after a great deal of wrangling, passed
the House fiiiidly on Tuesday, -by a vote of
neatly two, thirds.
$200,000,000
The bill as it passed, provides that a board of
Commissioners shall be elected by the Legislature
within ten days after the passage of the act,—
both houses on joint ballot - to elect the president
and each house an assistant—and a new board to
be elected by the people at the annual election
next fall, and one member annually thereafter.
It provides also fur a reduction of the expenses of
the boarcl—ailaries of officers, &c. &c.
According to the Bill, the President of the
board must be a practical Engineer, and the vari
ous Engineers now in the employ of the State
along the work, are to be discharged.
A number of petitions. from Schuylkill county,
asking for a lien, has been referred to a commit
tee, which we learn has reported against them.
We also learn that the Apportionment Bill
which lately passed the Senate, has since passed
the Hous'e, and only awaits the Governor's signa
ture to become a law. This bill includes Dau
phin, Lebanon and Schuylkill in ono distrEct.
ST. VALENTINE'S Ds:.—Last Tuesday was a
very important day for all folks, young and old,
who are at all afflicted with that terrible and al
most incurable malady of love. Such a cudgel
ling of brains and torturing of memory to coin
sweet phrases and tender lines was perhaps never
before experienced. We hardly dare think of the
dreadful consequences that may endue—the do
mestic squabbles, curtain lectures, broomstick bat
tles and squalling children, which in after life will
date their commencement from that day, are hor
rible to.think upon, and then to compare the real
with the ideal, would drive a quondam bachelor
crazy. From all such evils we hope that our
love making friends may be safely delivered ; and
feel confident that although some may sup their
share of bitterness, yet many may be induced to
regard it as a bright era in their lives. Valentines,
when read by other eyes than" those for which
they were intended, are ridiculous, and while they
create a very qualmish sensation in the one, they
swell the heart, quicken the pulse, and fire the
brain of the other. We feel half inclined to-pub
lish it few couplets, which a saucy, mischeivous
friend of ours has received from a dozen or so des
pairing lovers, but we commiserate them and ac
cordingly refrain.
g-j- Involved, in the case of the Commonwealth
against Mercer, is a question of jurisdiction which
will probably give rise to great diffl•ulty. The
friends of Mercer are very desirous to have hie tri
al in Pennsylvania. and as they have employed
eminent counsel it will doilibtlesily be ably con
tested. It is alleged that the jurisdiction of Penn
sylvania extends to the low water mark on the
Jersey shore, The boat upon which Heberton
was killed being within this boundary, the trial
ought to take place in the county of Philadelphia
—a writ of „ frabeas corpus has already been sued
out under which the question will be tried.
It is contended on thepart of New Jeriwy that
she has exclusive jurisdiction in this case under
the ratification of 1783, when it;was determined
that in nil capital and other offences committed on
the river Delaware, the judicial investigation there..
of shalt be vested in the State 6. wherein the:lefen
der or person charged wills the offence, shall be
first apprehended, arrested or prosecuted.
DEVER or COMMODORE HULL.—This gallant
arid distinguished old officer breathed his last at
his residence, in Philadelphia, on Monday morn
ing, aged 68, having been for forty-five years en
gaged in the service of his country, in performing
deeds which have engraved his name indelibly in
the page of her glory. Commodore Hull entered
the navy as a Lieutenant in 1798, and received his
commission of Captain in • 1816. His' achieve
ments are familiar to the memory of every Amer
ican ; and every man feels that in this loss, the
country has been deprived of one of her most gal
lant defenders. .
The officers of the Army and Navy—tlie mas
ters and Seamen of the shipping in the harbour,
and the military of the city and county of Phila
delphia,wero all invited to attend his funeral which
took place yesterady at 11 o'clock.
SANDERSON'S HOTEL — LexciatEs.—The gen

newly imported from France, are served up daily,
and that fresh shad have a ady made their ap•
pearance at his table, e arrangements about
this hotel are of the mo omplete and satisfying
character, and notwith rending the heavy business
done at it, every thin lido methodically attended
to, the:tit appears mo alike a private dwelling than

most sincerely do we hope such will he their lo:.

of Stephen Girard. -
A great portion of this land, if - properly cleared
end attended to; would yield-a fair return; and,

advantageoti; but we - would respectfully advise

In these latter days when
our currency is fast depreciating, and when all
parties agree that depreciated paper of every des
cription ought not to circulate, is it not remarkable
that the "Lehigh Coal and Navigation Company,"
in its present insolvent state, should continue to
flood the country with its promises to pay, and
this too in direct violation of law.
Through this fraudulent . issue. they are enabled
to seriously injure, and may ultimately rain all

EAUTIIZZIAKE.—Nro distinct shocks of an

minutes before 10 o'clock. They were slight, and
we did not ourselves .feel the vibration, but we
have heard,many persons. and in different sections
of the city, say that they felt the\shocks percepti

pictures halving against the wells of their houses.

How mysterious are the ebbs and flows of the
heart, that diversify the dream of human life, as it
glides away between earth and heaven! It is dif
ficult to believe that the tempestuous and stormy
waves of passion of one moment, have their ori
gin from the same source as the calm and equal
flow of the next.
The Tallahassee Star of the god instant says.
that on the afternoon of the 3lst ult. peach and
plum trees were in blossom, and the next day the
thermomoter stood- at 26°, and the air was filled
with flakes : of snow. This is as little strange, as
snow has not fallen in that section of Florida for
many years.
The N. 0. Picayune of the 29th ult., says: o it
