Meeting of the Penneylvanla Legitla.
—ture.
The Legislature of our State will commence
its annual amid! totthorrow. Ainid the ex
citements of national ' , Kitties, we are too apt
to fall to attach to the; legislation of oyr own i
State and the legal protection of our vast do
mestlo interests die 1/importance they deserve.
Pennsylvania is knfighty empire within her
self; and in popidation and wealth almost
equal to the thirteen united Colonies at the
time of the Revolution. To properly foster
and.-cherish her interests, to provide such
'4lyilesomet laws at her legitimate wants re
mike, and to prevent the enactment of inju
rious statutes, is a task worthy of the talents
of her, beat citizens. • •
It is to be earnestly hoped , that the mem
bers,of the Logielature will bestow their most
careful, disinterested, and patriotic attention
to the welfare of our noble old Commonwealth,
and Sternly set their tacos against a repetition
of any of the Ilisgraeeful acts which have been
'committed by
,their predecessors ; that they
will - eirefully avoid special legislation for pri
ia.te. akgrandizeinent at the public expense;
and deVote, ell their energies to the advance
ment of, the general weal. For the first
time, we believe; in many years, the Opposi
tion forces have a ' clear majority in both
branches of the' Legislature, and they will be
held to a strict accountability for their legisla
tive action. The Policy of our State has been
hitherto 'controlled, except at e.• few periods,
by the Democratic party, and, in the main, our
Sfate has fully kept pace with any, or all
of ber sisters in the march of progress,
and in industrious, social, moral, and intel
lectual advancement. Now that the Op
position have complete legislative control,
they must expect that their conduct will be
subjeCted to a close and careful scrutiny, and
if they commit any serious error's or blunderii
keen and wary - antagonists will be on the alert
to detect and expose them. For their own
credit,,for the sake of the public interests of
our State—and, if no higher incentives govern
them, from mere party considerations—they
should make a most earnest effort to discharge
their official duties in a manner worthy of
thole high positions skid the importance of the
- trust conflded ‘ in them.
The people of Pennsylvania cannot but fool
gratified with, the able, independent, and fear
less manner in which Governor Peons has
theobarged ibis official duties; and however
much• mere partisans or sycophantic worship
pers at the shrine of Federal power may as
sail him, we are satisfied that a warm feeling
' of approial of his conduct exists among our ci
tizeos, irrespective of political distinctions.
• The ability and patriotism displayed in
all his annual messages; his prompt and
judicious appliance of the veto power ;
his watchful supervision over the financial, in
dustrial, and educational interests of the State ;
his faithfill reflection of Pennsylvania tenth
moot on the great national questions of the
day, in defiance of the threats and vindictive
assaults of the supporters of the Lecomp
ton swindle; his compliance with all just
and proper legal demands made in conse
quence of, the occurrences growing out of the
Harper's Ferry raid, while he still maintained
the dignity and sound judgment of a sagacious
and patriotic Pennsylvania Governor—have
all contributed to elevate him in the esteem
of his fellow-citizens, and to win the - cordial
approbation of the people of the State.
Duelling in Virginia.
An interesting debate recently occurred in
the Senate of Virginia in regard to the practice
of duelling. Under an existing law, no per
son who has been implicated in a duel has the
right to hold any office connected with the
Government of the State, yet a Mr. Dom:ll4s,
who not long since was concerned in au affair
of honor, was last fall elected a member of
the Senate, in. defiance of the enactment,
mid With the full knowledge on his own part,
- end on the part of his constituents, that uniess
its provisions could in some manner be eva
ded, he. was not eligible to the position. The
bill.whlch gave rise to the debate in question
was specially introduced for the purpose of
legalizing his election, as well as to inciden
tally i'elleve all other persons from the diem
battles incurred by the anti-duelling law up to
this time. The first antbduellieg act imposing
pOlitical disabilities upon ,those concerned in a
duel, appears to have been passed in 18101'and
since that - time, on several occasiona Acta ar-
- v as. reireving an con.
amnesty have-been
-...ecerr - tri - islibli affrays from these political
dirmisilltfeluit;tgatimiefiiki:passage: The
last act of this character was adopted in 1858.
'There , had pretionsly, been a constitutional am
neity in 1050, alita reliefmeasure adopted in the
revisalof the criminal code in 1847-8, as well
as in the Constitution of 1829. In the course
of the debate it was emphatically stated that
public opinion so strongly favors the practice
of duelling that a maii who should refuse
to accept a challenge is scouted by his com
panions, driven from woman's presence with
scorn, and utterly blasted in reptitation.
Another member expressed his sympathy with
thole who had been connected with duels in
Virginia; because they lived in a society by
the laws of which they were forbidden to fight
duels, and by the public opinion of which they
were stigmatiied with the reproach of cow
ardice if they refused to do so.
No definite action has yet been taken upon
the bill to which we have referred, farther
than that the Committee for Courts reported
that it was, inexpedient to legislate on the sub
jeet—this report being still enacted upon.
The debate strikingly illustrates the force of
Virginia sentiment in favor of the practice of
duelling, and presents a strong contrast to
the feeling which would probably fled expres
sion in the Legislature of our own or of
any other Northern State under similar cir
cumstances. At the same time, it is but just
to remark that the proposed new law was
strenously opposed for grave public reasons,
and from an' anxious desire to check the pre
vailing passion for duelling, by several mem
bers of the Senate of Virginia, with much abi
lity, - and that it appears, by the action of the
committee, their views have for the present
prevailed.
The Affair 01 Honor between Messrs.
• , Grow and Branch.
WASIIIRGTON, Deo. 31, 1859.—The difficulty be
tween Memos. Grow and Branch wee clothed in so
much mystery last night, that it was utterly im
possible to arrive at all the facts. They are rub.
r
atm:111E1.11y as follows: About twelve o ' c lock on v
day, the 30th, Mr. Grow received a note from Mr.
Branch, by the hands of Governor Winslow,- of
North Carolina, It was dated the 29th, and re
quested Mr. Grow to inform Mr. Branch whore a
communication in writing would reach him outside
tbe.Distriet of Columbia.
Mr. Grow, upon consultation with hie friends, on
whose judgment ho announced his intention to
rely, no matter' what their deeision might be, at
seven o'clock lathe evening replied to the note of
Mr...Branoh, justifying his own course in the House,
and announcing, in plain Anglo-Saxon language,
that the praotice . of the code being a violation of
the principles of Christianity, and considered a
o • e under the laws of his own State, and by the
1 national Legislature, of which he and Mr. Branch
were members, he esukt not recognise it, but would
defend his personal rights, and the rl i rtf the,
freedom of debate under the Consiljg
to e.-.. ton,
over asselledi „. ..os replilvas forwarded,
Tibia nottY.ll4ittireeeived a note , through a
ablate source, that the polle mortal i btained
nfonnation that there was to be a combat,
t 0....
and were in search of, the principals ; and, not
wishing to evade - Any responsibility 'that might
folio*, Mr.'Grow evaded the police.
' Between ten and eleven o'clock last evening Mr.
Branoh was arrested, and required to give h ands
in the sum of dve thousand - dollars to keep the
moo. Mr. Grow went not arrested until to-day at
half past twelve, when be wee required to give
bonds in the same amount, though he had donned
the invitation to disturb the peace.
No evidence was adduced to show that Mr. Grow
had ;violated the peace before the justice. The
charge was made by Mr. Thomas, upon what au
thority or' evidence nobody knowe—certainly not
upon the foots. •
All sorts of absurd nustoti have been in oiraula
tion to-day in the metropo lis about the affair
which have to foundation n truth. It has been
intimated that Mr. Branch would tumult Mr.
Grow Upon the street. Nothing has happened to.
day to indietite such intention, and it is to bo
hoped that the good sense of Mr. Branch will in
duce him to refrain' from any further demonstra
tion. Mr. Grow has promenaded Pennsylvania
avenue without molestation.
The friends of both parties regret the oocurrenoe.
I . ..have-heard a rumor today that the friends of
the ,parties- , -Beaator Wade and It. B. Fenton on
the port of Mr. Grow, and GQv. Winslow, Mr. Me
,Queen, and Mr. Moore, en the part of Mr. Branoh— .
!wiled make o arrange the difficulty.

for It, because he was tho first aggressor, in lm
pegging the motives of gr. Grow.
_ The relations heretofore existing between Mr.
Grim and Mr. Branoh have been of a friendly chit

a buieted debate on a Woe point at this manlier

[Correovoedeaswe of The Prose.)
W4autxusOu, Jan. 1,1860.
The great holiday of Washington le the begin
ning of the New Year, and to-morrow will witness
each a display as would make those of your readers
who have never visited the "Oily of Magniftoent
Distances" Stare with surprise and glow with
pleasure, If the weather At old ho as it Promises
at the present writing, the whole population will
be on the streets. Congress, which refused to ad
journ over Christmas, has paid a proper tribute to
the local spirit in this rasped, and the members,
Who have got heartily tired of long speeches
and perpetual balloting, will exchange for this
dull routine the delightful conventionalities
of to-morrow. Every citizen who can afford it
I will throw open hie doors to receive the visits of
his friends, of both sexes. Tables will groan under
their plentiful supply of the delioacies and luxu
ries of the season. Some of these entertain
ments are costly and magnificent beyond descrip
tion, and ho who can navigate through, the day
without contracting a headache for the night, or
not finding himself trembling in his boots, will be
compelled to exercise great caution. The con
tagion of the day extends to the foreign residents,
as well as to persons from a distance visiting the
city, and. of course, those who are strangers to the
population of Washington will commemorate the
()Cession in their own rooms, or introduce them
nivel to each other:
The President, if In good health, will receive the
multitude. This is a scene worth a ride from
New York to Washington to witness. All the ofli
dais, high and low ; all the members of the foreign
legations; the titled and the untitled ; the rieh
and the poor;; the army and the navy ; the Repre
sentative and the constituent; the wife and the
husband; Lthe lover and the sweetheart— are
thrown into one pushing, driving, laughing mass;
and will pour in through the wide doors of the
Presidential mansion to take a look at the first of•
doer of the Republic), and to wish him, as they
pass by, "a Happy New Year:" In snob a con-
gregation there is no politics. Men forget that
they belong to parties, and remember only that
they are citizens of a great oountry. But
gosalp reigns supreme. Those who bare
not mat for months, who hare been sepa
rated by time, al well as distance, meet
with expressions of mutual delight, talk
over days gone by, and part probably
to meet no more this side of the grave. Since my
letter describing the last greeting of the New
Year in the city of Washington many, very many,
changes have taken plate. Hundred and thou
sand(' who gladly welcomed the dawning of 1839,
are now In almost forgotten sepulehrea They bear
not the busy tread of the happy multitudes ; they
respond no longer to the tones of the friends
who wished them, twelve months ago, happi
ness for all time to come. Bonne sleep beneath
the 00611111'6 waves, some have been lost in far-off
solitude, some have perished by the pestilence,
others by the assassin, and some, in the full pride
of health and power, have been called off in nn
instant. But we may say, with the poet, to the
loved and the loaf,
"All that breathe
Will share thy destiny. The gay Will laugh
When thou art gone, the Solemn brood of ears
Pled on, and ehoh one, fill before, will chase
Bit favorite Phantom: yet all these shell leave
Their mirth and their employments, and a/influets
And make their bed with thee. As the long train
Of ages glides away. the sone of men.
The youth in life'a green urine, and he who goes
In the full strength or years, matron and maid.
And the tweet babe, and the gray-beaded man,—
Shall one by one be tratherhl to thy lido.
By those who, in their turn, shall follow them."
It vrenld, of course, be impossible for the Pres
dent to entertain the thousands who come to pay
him their respects every New Year's day. It is the
custom to enliven the event with the tnueie of the
Marine Band—an institution maintained for the
purpose of playing every Wednesday and Satur
day alternately at the Capitol and at the Preei•
dent's grounds through the summer season. Mr.
Buobanan is generally surrounded by bit immediate
family—Mica Harriet Lane and bit neir, private
secretary, young James Thiabanith, the win of the
Rey. Edward Y. Buchanan of your city—and by
such Mica as 'happen, for the time, to be visiting
under bit roof. No petition for. Once is in order
on such an omission. Good humor and bermlaso
jokes are the most current coin, but woe upon the
fair sex who come to such a crush no this, belated
in their best and costliest robes! No matter bow
punctilious the gentlemen may be disposed to be,
ceremony vanishes In the crowd, and the most ten.
der and sensitive of gentlest womanhood are cam-
polled to receive, without a murmur, the rude em
brace' of men they never maw before. If,after leaving
the President, you can make the acquaintanos of
an Intelligent and influential citizen, and pay •
tow visits to the residences of teat public-spirited
oitisens es George Parker, W. W. Corcoran, Jocose
C. Maguire, Marshal Hoover, John F. Coyle, May
or Berret, and the different beads of the Cabinet,
you will have a fair sample of the geniality of
Southern boepitelity—not only on the part of the
heat and bootees, but on thepart of those whom you
will meet—and you will be a good deal
.... eurted.

to break up social relations with the North; to
stop wearing Northern-made clothing, to re•
'fuse to ride In Philadelphia-built carriages, or
behind Philadelphia•made locomotives, or to mark
time by Yankee clocks, or even to read Northern

could stand aloof with their noble hearts chilled
towards their brethren in other States? In my
opinion, not one calendar mouth ! They would not
only get ashamed of themselves, but would hasten
to make amends for en impulse no unnatural. I
grant you that they have cause to feel aggrieved at
the Abolitionists—the John Browns, the Cooks, and
Helper's book—but is this any reason that they
should fly into &passion at everybody else in the free
States? Is this any reason that they should insist
upon dying, rather than be eared by h Northern
doctor, on gaming/other than eatof Northern food,

-1 plant will not last much beyond the new snow that
has fallen. If It should, then the work of disunion
has been begun, prauticully by the South ; for if
the South is resolved to live within its own shell—
to build up a wall of fire between it and the North,
simply because in the North there are fanatics and
madmen—why we must even be content with our
lot.
A chnracteristio incident is rotated in reference
to this email business on the part of certain South
ern politicians and some of their friends. A South
ern paper-dealer wrote to a Northern paper•maan
faoturer, and. told him that hereafter he would bo
oompellea to withhold all orders from the establish
ment of the latter, on account of the "irrepressi
ble conflict," Harper's Ferry tragedy, Mr. Seward,
and all that sort of thing, and that he intended to
make his own paper. The Northern man respond
ed by stating that he was really sorry to hear that
hie former customer was about to become his com
petitor, inasmuch as making paper was not the
most profitable business in the North, and that he
would regret to see any man, for whom he had to
kind a feeling, emoting into a similar banners '
an the South. But the moment the Southern States
begin to manufacture for themselves will be a
happy moment for that region and for the whole
country. When they have their locomotives,
their steamboats, and all tho necessaries of life,
great and small, made in thirty/a midst, they
will, I think, discover that there aro many more
profitable things than 'the iniUtution of slavery,
and many more odious things than a tariff for pro-
Motion ; but nothing will appear eo foolish to them
in that day, whoa they become the rivals of the
free States in science and in mechanic', and every
description of skilled labor, as their present at
tempt to abut up the channele of trade, to crush
out competition, and to carry off that blood in the
arteries of a great community which makes in
terml commerce the vital principle of so nation's
existence. They will find, probably, day after
day, a double interest being awakened in tho en

THE PRESS.--PHILADELMIA, MONDAY, JANUARY 2, 1860:
Oho following resolution passed both brandies of
tho Logisleture a Virginia, on Thine, last :
"Rs/Weed, That we reodtnniend, in view of tho
Fbllo danger, the talon of all the elements of
ppositloto S pea k er, and Its condi.
ate for on any tonne consistent with
farness and honor, whensoever by suoh union its
defeat can be eacomplishod, end the organisation
of the Bongo be effected."
From this you will see that everything is to be
sunk before the negro question; that all intermits
are to be enbordinato In the presence of the doctrine
that slavery Is infallible and inviolable, and that
any man wbo takes issue with this notion is to
be minded from all position, and to be deprlseed
of all rights; while If, en the other band, he yields
to - the domande of the South, be may boa monarch
ist, a know-Nothing, a tariff man, a conoolida
tionlet—everything, in short, that has heretofore
been regarded as repugnant to the Democratic
creed.
It la proper that you should know thst the re
newal of the personal assaults upon you by the edi
tor of the New York Herald, has been suggested
and dictated from the White House by the Presi
dent himself. One of Bennett's Immediate friends,
now in Ode city, assures me that he had no desire
to take part in this crusade. Knowing, US he must
have known, how vulnerable he was himself, helms
preserved a dleoreet allenee until within the last
two weeks; but Mr. Buohanan is determined, at
all hazards, to continue the war upon The Press
and its editor. The mere intimation that you may
be elected clerk, and espeoially elected without
surrendering a single one of your known doctrines,
almost sets him frantic.. Ile seems to forget that
at the time Bennett was assailing you en account
of your letter in the rorreat case, you were warmly
and publicly advocated by James Buchanan. lit
seems to forget, too, that notwithstanding Ben
nett's assaults in 1863, on Recount of that letter,
you were nominated in the Democratic, causes, and
re-elected Clock of the House ; and that in 11351.613
all parties united in approving your (mum RS the
presiding °Meer of the popular branch of Con
gress. Mr. Buchanan forgets that you wire
placed at the heed of the Demeeratie State
Committee of Pennsylvania, and conducted
WI campaign which resulted in his oleo
tion, and that afterwards you were nominated
for United States Senator by the Demooratle mem
bers of the Pennsylvania Legislature; end be also
forgets that ho offered to you after hie eleelfion to
the Presidency, come of his most important publio
positions, which you resolutely deolined. I think
I will be able to show, in a short time, that Mr.
Duohsnsu is the real author of the late attacks upon
you in the New York Herald. In the meanwhile,
allow me to ask whether you bays not in your pos
session a number of letters from iMr. Buohanan
himself—written while Bennett was assailing you,
and after the publication of the celebrated Forrest
letter—in whiCh you are not only sustained as a
Democrat, but as a gentleman, and in whloh also
your traducers are bitterly denounoed. If I am
right In this suggestion, why not defend yourself
in the words of the President himself?
