Tue PEOPLE op Banks in Motion.,---A
meeting was held in Heidelberg township, Hicks
county. last weeek, without distinction of'Party,
at which the following resolutions were adopted:
Re:o!vcd,That We now call_ upon the present-
Legislature to provide for the sale of all the pub
lic works without teserv.:, as we consider them a
, dead horse in the hands of the State, and a harbor .
for a number of political highbinders, to fill their
pockets at the expense of the toiling people.
Re: ofved,. That we are in favor of a just reve
nue Tara and distribution of the proceeds of the
public
_lands among the States, and our members
are hereby requested to vote against any_appropri
ation towards the public works one way or the
other. - -
A similar meeting was held in Robeson Town
ship,
at which Paul Geiger, late Senator, presided.
At this meeting, the following resolutions were
unanimously adopted:
Resolved, That the Public-Lands are the prop
erty of the States, that they were purchased by the
inestimable treasure, by the hardships, toils, dan
gers and blood of those citizens - of the old states
who fought the battles und:achieved the princi
ples of the revolution. That lb= lands_tben of
little importance, were ceded to the States, to be
by them held, as an unailable fund, to be used on
ly far ilia corrimon benefit of all. . '
Thai the time has now arrived when
the proceeds of there lands ought to be used,
fln'the benefit of .all the states, and that we do
approve of a distribution 'of the prozeeds among
them upon some just and equitable principle tube
determined by the Representatives of the People.
This looks rather squally for Locafocoisto even
in Berks. They will he compelled to take the
back track: on the Land as well as the Tariff gun
tion.
Quzarts,---If the Locofccos are in favor of the
present TarifT 7 - 7 VVy is it that both the Locofoco
papers.in this county studiously avoid saying any
thing in its fa4or -•
Have they called upon the people to stand by
the Tariff!'
Have theYn'uled in circulating petitions to Con
gress against ita repeal '1
have not several of their leaders also refused to
sign these petitions '
And do nSt ads speak louder than mere pro.

'StIA.NETCL PROCEEDIISS.-011T readers are
well acquainted with the manner in which, the
Bill for the destruction of the present Tariff, was
introduced into Congress, by.the Van Buren por
tion of the COromittee cf Ways and Means. Oa
the 4th inst. I.r. J. R. Ingersoll offered a Minority
F.cport,of courts, in favor of sustaining the pre
sent Tariff: (0 0/jection was mode on the part
of .tlie Fan 13:zren ma), to the receiving of thi
Report—and they refused to print the Bathe num
ber of copies that Were printed of the Majority Re
port, for circulation.
Cotioniss.—The news! from Washington is
'not of much importance to our readers. The dis
cussion of the Taxiff questi7ia will probably, occu
py about two weeks--but there is no proba
bility of the Bill for its fepeal passing. the Senate,
cVen if it shoul.l pass the House. The result of
the recent elections have settled that question, at
least ferthe present.
STATE. L'EGISLATIZIri.-Our Legislature is
busily engaged in passing the ApproPriation Bill
—and 'in tho lower_ House Mr. Cooper's Bill for
the sale cf the Public Works is progressing. It
will pass the House, end of . course it will again be
brought before jhe Elenata. Should that bcdy, in
defihnce of . public (Tinian, again reject he
Bill, it will raise a storm throughout the State,
that will metre even Becofocolarn tremble.

REPORT :
. • i
• That your Committee, in pursuance of authori.
ty given, entered upon they discharge of their duty,
and caused subpoenas td be issued and served upon,
such persons as would belmost likely to afford in
formation respecting Chia extraordinary item,
which constituted the principal subject of the iii.,
quiry with which your COtnrnitteo were charged.
From the evidence hereith reported, it appears
that a large bill was contracted upon credit with
Dr. M'f'herion, during:tle last cession, by W m ,
I. B. Andrews, then Clerk of the H.Ouse, and by:'
ether officers, and rinemberd. FrTia the evidence of
Dr. M'Phenson ! ~.. tippee r tii that this bill consisted
of c aad, 42s , stating-mom, ipafers, steel pens; :41:41:
Seg7i - S,' chamomitefiouier4 razors, trashing soap.
heir brushes, dothee brriphes, shaving brushes;
sharing soap, recur letrops, penbdres, ivory

, MEDICINE, ARTICLES OF JEWELRY;
PERFIjMF.RY AND . CANES. - J
'• From a copy furnished by this witness, the bill
or the above articles anipunted to $ 2,690 26, and
was kepi by the witness . ~nn _a most extraordinary
manner for any one who isdany just pretensions
to propriety in keepinglhl books of accounts. ,It
is indeed on the face of it covered with suspicion;
• and kept in a manner . ee l irregular that it could
!nor have been enforcedi a court ofjustice. Its
made Op ef , lumping charzes, nnder vague and
general ,head's of I , sundry naTehandise," each
charge; amounting to lar'gc sums--some of them
of them $5O, some $7O, Some $l5O, and so on; ,
so that it was only from tho testimony of.Dr. - Mc- j
Pherson that your com:nitteo could •ascertain any,
information as to the kind of items that composed
this account, charged to the House of Representa
tive; and respecting the persons who had been the
recipitentr, of that merehrindise. Your committee'
will forbear comment Upon the state of facts hero
disclosed in relation to !this account, and leave
them for the approval for condemnation of an im
partial public. Thus jmitch as to this account,
which will be found (Mosta careful examination of
all the'fa , tta, to constitia a part of that large item
respecting which your ctimmhtce' are on search.;:
This large item of $4;980 22, it must be re
membered, was inserted in the account of the pay
and mileage of membersi under-the head of • as
. counts due fir reestpa: on, the 18th of April,l
1843, and that at this die the. House hue not the I
power to draw a warrant on the Treasury, except I
for the payand mileage of members.. Still, it ap
j
pears from the warranter in the Auditor General's I
'office, that on this date, the Speak.er of the Howe
drew-two warrants, onefavor of Dr.McPhev.on,
for $1,898 94. and also er in favor of Win..l. B. j
i .e.
Andrews for $3,111 2 . These sums. added 1
to
gether make up exactly the. amount of- the item
$4,980 22, and this forces your cemniittee.to the
conclusion, that , there two : warrants were thus j
--driwn - without authority of law, and against a
positive enactment contained in the ..Act to reduce
I the .expenses of Goverriment;" - and that this con=
of illegal procedure had been retorted to by
Clerk sod others, to help themselves oat oft dif-
Seeley in which they, were placed in refatieoto
the payment of this sib , niPtlil account, and the
wear antforar of reputation which threatened; them
in its exposure to 'help:figment of honest men.

Professor Joel Sayezasos, of this Philadelphia*
High School, expired on Friday morninv after a

mated from the, fact that it has passed through in
numerable cditions but, in his subsequent pro
duetlons, of which we may paiticularly instance
the "Americuri in Paris," he api.cared to find the;
true bent of his genius, and displayed a copious.
ness,of fa,ncy, combined with a degree of keen ob
serration tempered by playful wit, which left him
without a rival in this species of composition.—
There was nor!!.;ng, harsh or misanthropical in his
satire. Though ho saw follies with a quick per
ception and was sensitively alive to the ridiculous,
he sketched them_quaintly, forcibly and effective
ly indeed, but with] no, shade of acerbity or hitter
!lean of feeling. His writings were always bright
and'eheerful, and were remarkable for their almost
childlike freshnesi: of thought uniting with the
penetration of, en acute 'and thinking man. It
was philosophy in.'sport, no doubt, but not the
les.Sphilosophy because it played with flowers."
It is a rare combination, this, of learning with
unpretending simplicity, of trenchant wit with gen
tleness of heart; but they were found in high per
fection in the character of our departed friend,
-made apparent not! in his writings alone, but in
hiSfamilin intercoUrse with the world; and, much
as he was tube adinired in a literary point of view,
th.feeling underwent no diminution on personal
intimacy. Though suffering for many years from
infirm health, such as unfortunately seems to be
indeperable from that delicate organization of mind
which yields the post delightful fruit, as -if in
truth the spirit were too powerful for its earthly
tenement, Mr. Sanderson's kindly benevolence,
and, warm sympathy with all around him experi
enced no change. His strength waned wider his
arduous professional duties, and it was observed
with sadness, that
; unavoidable fatigues bore more
heavily upon him; but his intellect never flagged,
and he-stilt continued to form the charm of the
social circle, and to .linr.arge with zeal and faith
fulness the responsibilities of his station,. until
within a few short days, when the fatal discrise
which so quickly ran its course, became manifest,
acid he expired in; the bosom of his family, amid
the sincere regret of a large circle ..of attached
friends, and calmly conscious of his situation.
His remains-arrived at this place on Saturday
last, and were interred in the Pottsville Cemetery,
from the residence of his eon-in-law,' Doct. Car
penter, accompanied by a largo concourse-of rela
