representatives of tho people and of the States in Congress assembled, Kill meet that question under all the responsibili ties which they owe to tbeir constituents, and which are imposed upon them by tbeir oaths of office; and with full infor mation upon matters of fact important to the formation of a final judgment. E vents are constantly occuring iu the ter ritory which will afford matter for Con gressional debate, and may afiect tho ul timate dech-iou. To the people of Pennsylvania the ad mission of n dcw State into the Union into the confederacy of which she is n member must bo at nil times a pubject ol high interest. And I believe I express their sentiments as well as my own, in de claring that all the qualiGed electors of a Territory should hovo a full and fair op portunity to participate in selecting dele gates to form a Constitution preparatory to admission as a State, and, if desired by them, they should also be allowed an un qualified right to vote upon such Consti tution after it is framed. Of course those who then fail to vote, in either case, can not complain that the proceeding goes on without their participation. It is to be hoped that Congress will make such pro vision for other Territories that the pres ent difficulty will ha-c no repetition in the future. In conclusion, permit me to observe, that all experience and reflection proie that the moral virtues form the only firm foundation of public order a? well as in dividual character, and their support should therefore engage the profound at tention of Government, and the co-operation of all good men. Frail indeed will be any ttructurc reared for the regulation of society, and tho promotion of man's true and substantial happiuess, unless it stand upon a foundation more permanent than paper arrangements, or the fleeting impulses of the hour! The recognition of a Great Supreme Power, which rules the affairs of nations and of men, is the only Mipport of those virtues which can make a people distinguished and prosperous, and give to Government duration and success. Sincerely imploring the Divine guidance in tho performance of duty, 1 as sume the post assigned me by the people, indulging the hope that at the tcrmina tion of my service I shall enjoy the ap proval of my own conscience, and behold Pennsylvania advanced and secure in her position as one of the great communities of the New World her standard aloft, and proudly bearing, untarnished, her motto of "Virtue, Liberty aud Independ ence. jj l)c Jcffcrscmian.

The Democratic State Central Commit tee met at Harritburg on Tuesday last, nearly all the members being present. The time for the meeting of the next State Convention of the party elicited a warm discussion. The frieuds of Mr. Buchanan desired a postponement of the Convention until some time in July next, whilst the friends of Douglas insisted that the Convention ought to be called iu March next, which was, after the withdrawal of 6ome of the members, finally agreed to The Convention will therefore, be held on the 4th nay of March next. The Harrisburg correspondent of the North American t says : "One a the most significant facts rel ative to tho feelings of Gen. Packer and cabinet was afforded by the vote cast by Mr. Diffenbach, Deputy Secretary of State. He voted on tho final: vote for the 4th of March. Indeed, there is no attempt at the concealing the feelings of the new Governor and his cabinet upon this point. HeHeister, Knox and Diffenbach, speak unreservedly upon their Lecompton con stitution. Whether they do this from policy or principle Ido not pretend to judge. The result in the Com mittee may justly be regarded as the tri umph of the Douglas wing of the Democ racy, and also of William A. Porter.

Pollock's term. Tba reduction does not include any revenue or payment received from the sale of the main line of public works. If that be added, and it is quite certain that a sale would not have been effected uuder a Locofoco Administration tho amouut which the State debt has been reduced during the last tbreo years would be with in a fraction of ten muttons of dollars. This has been done in the face of heavy extraordinary expenses on the public works, amounting in the past year to Sl,-4-14,909.50. The greatest leak having been stopped by the sale of the main line and a- prospect existing for a riddanco of the other divisions of tho other public works it is hoped that we may one day see the eni of tho enormous public debt, and its accompanying taxation. The sale of the remaining public works is strongly recommended by the Governor. Well will it be for the people if Gen. Packer, upon his retirement, can present as favorable a report of his stewardship as his immediate predecessor, and invoke the exclamation, which all but the miser ably bigoted must accord to our present retiring Chief Magistrate "Well done1 GOOD AND FAITHFUL SERVANT."

Tho ptaomship TennesFec has arrived from Vera Cruz, which port she left on the 21st inst., bringing highly impartant news from Mexico. The couutry was in a complete state of anarchy. Nearly all the mail stages between Vera Cruz and the capital had been robbed; nearly every State and town in the Republic was issuing pro nuciamientos against Comonfort; and the City of Mexico was in a state of siege. On tho 11th, the Zoluaga brigade, which first declared tho Dictatorship of Comonfort, pronounced against him. It holds the citedal and barracks of San Au gustine and Santo Domingo. Comoufort had been refused admission to the last named. Comonfort has assembled two thousand troops at tho palace with artillery, lie had also arretted Gen. Zuloaga but af terward released him on parole. A portion of the Zuloaga brigade were in favor of Gen. Zuloaga for the Presi dency, whilo others advanced the claims of Santa Anna. On the loth the barracks of Sau Au gustine wore attacked by Comcufort's troops, but repulsed them. All the foreigners in the city had hois ted the flags of their respective countiies for protection. Confusion reigns supreme at the cupita!. Counterfeiters Arretted -Desperate Fight near Providence! Two Men Mortally Wounded. There appears to be an organized gang of counterfeiters operating at the pres ent time in this valley. And tho inci dents connected with their operations for the week past afford us 'naterials for quite a chapter on the subject. On Saturday eveuing lat-t a man by the name of John Robbins called at the Hotel of W. M. Keen iu Archibald, and in payment for driuks obtained, offered, first, a 55 counterfeit bill on the Oncnga ga Dank, Syracuse, which was refused. Next he offered aworth less $2 bill, which was also refused. He then presented a SI0 note on the Rondout Bank, N. Y., which was accepted, and change given him in good money. After Robbins left a close inspection of tho bill demonstrated that also to be spurious. He was followed late in tho evening to Carbondalc, was arrested, taken before Lewis Pughe, Esq., examined and committed to jail in this place to answer the charge of passing counterfeit money. Wo learn that an attempt wa9 made to arrest a gang of counterfeiters near Prov idence on Monday last by the Constables of that Borough and township. Tho men showed fight, and in the melee beat one of tho officers, Mr. Holden Vaughn so severely that his life is despaired of; Vaughn's skull is said to bo fractured. In the meantime the wounded man's com panion came to his rescue, and used 'his revolver with such effcet as to wound one of the assailants in the abdomen who al o is not expeeted to live. Subsequently a large reinforcement was obtained and nino of tbe participators in the afiray were arrested. We understand that Lyon-, who pass- ed the counterfeit money up the valley, as chronicled by us last week, bas also been arreted and lodged in jail at Wilkesbar re. Carbondalc Advance. Counterfeiters Sentenced. At William?port, Pa., Jan. 21st, Wm. Anderson, Chas. Miller, Wm. Lewis and Peter Garver, charged with conspiracy to manufacture and pass gold and silver coin wero convicted, after a trial lasting two days. They were sentenced to the Peni tentiary for the following terms: Ander son aud Miller to four years and four months, Lewis to three years and two months, aud Garver to one year and ten month?. Among the latest counterfeits are 5's ou the Iron Bank, Rockaway, N. J. Im -itation of genuine Vignette, eagle on part of globe 5 in a die in each upper corner iuVE across left end state arms in lower right corner engraving coarse, and pojr paper. fiSrCounterfcit S50 and 8100 notes of the Stroudsburg Bauk, are in circulation. So says the "North American." Noise. Up in Detroit, Michigan, when the Douglas men turned an admin istration meeting into a Douglas meeting, they made a little noise. Says the Ad vertiser : "Of all the noise made by tho human voice, this meeting afforded the greatest variety. A zoological garden or menag erie of cat, dogp, tigers, roosters, ele phants, hogs, bulls, horses, cows, hawks, mocking-birds, robins, owls, geese, hens, goslins, jackasses, parrots, and all other things that utter strauge noises, were represented on this occasion." The New York and Erie Railroad Company have issued their anunal report. The leading fact it discloses is, that the liabilities of the Company over their as sets is 288.349 29. Edwin R. Biles, an Adjutant in filli bustering Walker's expedition, captured by Commodore Paulding bas been arres ted at Norfolk, Va., on a requisition from Gov. Pollock, on charge of embezzlement. Biles was principal book-keeper of the firm of Hoiking, Heiskill & Co., of Phil adclphia. In June last he embezzled to the amount of 810,000, and then sudden ly disappeared. The receipts from the customs of Naw York averaged, last week, S50,000 or $60,000 daily, nearly doubling the re ceipts previously since tho panio commen ced. . Most Extraordinary CaseA Woman Liv ing Over Eighteen Months Without Eating or Drinking. Relative to the case af the woman,Mrs. Hayes, of the town of Day, Saratoga County, of whom it is said she has lived now nineteen months without eating a morsel of food, and whoso death was re cently announced in one of the papers of Albany, "Tho Sandy Hill Herald," bas the following : "Mrs. Hayes is not dead, but remains in the condition in which she has been for many months past. Incredible as it may seem, there is little, if any doubt, but that this woman has lived for more than eighteen mouths without eating or drinking. We havo not alluded to the case before for the reason of its ap parent incredibility; but scientifih gentle men, together with hundreds of others, after the closest scrutiny, havo become convinced that there is no deception prac ticed, and that the woman actually sub bibts without food or water. In order to test tbe matter, a gentleman took the wo man to his residence, and parties watched her day and night for one mouth, who say that she neither ate nor drank during that time, and that on food being intro duced into tho room, concealed to the pockets of disinterested persons, the wo man would immediately go in to horrible convulsions. J be same effect was pro duced by persons taking tobacco, or any kind of ardent spirits, where she was. The woman is reduced to a perfoct skel cton, io much so that by placing the hand upon tho abdomen the back bone can be distinctly felt. We are aware that there are instances on record somewhat akin to this, which turned out to bo frauds; but if this is a deception, it has been adroitly practiced that every one who has exam ined it has been duped. Besides, there is no motive for tho deception; and it i quite incredible that any prison would suffer to the extent that this woman ha? for the sole purpose of playing upon the credulity of the public. Viewed in any light, the subject is worthy of the atten tion of the scientific and curious." Lucy Stone and the Tax Collector. Lucy Stone, who is a resident of Or ange, Essex Co., N. J., having refused to pay tho taxes assessed again-t her prop erty upon the principle that taxation without representation was unju.-t and anti-republican had a number house hold articles sold under the collector's hammer at her rcsidenco ou Friday af ternoon last, in obedience to the following notice, which had been conspicuously pos ted at the railroad depot: "Sale for tax. Notice is herby given that, by virtue of a warrant issued by A. H. Freeman, esq., J. P., to make the tax assessed against Lucy Stone, in the township of Orange, in the County of Esex, the subscriber, one of the, con stables of said county, will, on Friday tho 22d day of January instant, at two o cloek in the afternoon of that day, at the house of Lucy Stone, sell at public vendue, to the highest bidder for cash, the following goods, to wit: Two tables, four chairs, one stand and two )ictures, to make the said tax and costs. E. A. KYNFS, Constable. "Orange, Jan. 18, 1853." The sale took place on the front piaz. za. The first article offerred wa3 a mar ble table, worth about 812, which was started at S6 and knocked down at $7,50. The next articles were two steel-plate liknesses, one of Gerrit Smith aud the other of Gov. S. P. Chase, which wero sold together for S3. From these sales a sufficient sum was realized, and a small balance was paid to Lucy. She told the consta ble that the same operation would have to be preformed every year until the law was repealed, as she would never valun tarily pay taxes for the support of insti tutions that she had no voice in gover ning. The officer of the law replied that he would let some one else have the job hereafter, as it was not a pleasant duty for him to perform. It is said that Lucy intends to address the people of Orange upon this subject at a public meeting soon to be held. A Wonderful Case of Starvation. A most remarkable caso of voluntary starvation is reported by the keeper of tho St. Lawrence County Poor Houso, New York, which if not well attested, we should pronounce incredible. It appears that some time since an aged man, who had been for so trio timo an inmate of tho Poor House, refused to take food, saying ho had made a vow to his God never to eat again. From that time no threats of solicitations could induce him to eat, and he lived in that state sixty-five days and twelve hours before he died. Mr. Boor raan the keeper, states that during that time he took no food of any kind, aud that ho seemed to be free from disea-e. He literally died of starvation, with plen ty around him, being a most remarkable illustration of a strong will. The Case of T. W. Smith. Philadelphia, Thursday, Jan. 21. The application of Miss Smith for the possession of her brother, Thomas Wash ington Smith, recently cleared of the chaage of Murdering Richard Carter, the President of the Tamaqua Bank, on tho ground of insanity, was argued before the Court this morning. Medical testimony was adduced showing that tho confine ment of Smith in the Lunatic Asylum would result in his speedy death, while the careful attention of his friends would restore him to health. The Court decided to place him in charge of his sister, meanwhile placing her under bonds of 85,000 for good care of him. He will be taken to New-Castle County, Del. The taxation of New York city for 1858 will reach 8100 for over? votor, ac cording to the number of votes for May or. A few days ago a slave in Gates Coun ty, N..C. killed three whito men. He was pursued and killed on the spot.

Anderson aud Richards, the negroes who wero arraigned, last week, before the Lancaster Criminal Court, for the murder of Mrs. Garbcr and Mrs. Ream, were both found guilty of murder iu tbe first degree, aud sentenced to be hung. When called upon to say whether they had anything to say why sentence of death should not be passed upon them, they each made a Rtatcment; protesting their entire innocence. Richards, in defence of him self, wholly criminates Ander.-on, alleging that his silence, or seeming acquiescence in the murder, was compelled through fear of the threats made against him by Anderson; whilst Anderson, avering his innocence, throws the crime upon Rich ards. Anderson concluded his statement by saying "so help me God, gentlemen, 1 am innocent of tho murder of them poor women. They swore about my cap be ing bloody; but there was no blood on it; they ought to have brought it here to be shown to the jury. There was blood ou my woiness, but it got there from my nose, which had been bleeding that afternoon. "I am innocent, gentlemen, but as sen sentence of death must be passed, I am willing to go and suffer; but, gentlemen of the Couit, I am innocent of the mur der.'' The Lanca-ter Express says "The prisouers, on their way out, iutimated that these statements wero made by them in the hope that the denial of their guilt might still, in some way, benefit them ; but now, that they see there is no chance of escape from the penalty of the law, they will make a full and true confession to be published "for the benefit of their families," after their execution." During tho year 1857, says the Boston Traveler, no less than 403 persons, near ly all children, died in Boston of scarlet fever. This is the largest number that have died in Boston of that disease for a similar period for many years, compris ing fully one-tenth of tho mortality of the year, which in regard to other diseases was remarkably healthy. Cincinnati according to an estimate of the Gazcttc,has a populatiou of 210,000 inhabitants; an increase in teu years of o vcr 87,000. Tho value of manufactures and iudustury is set down at 880,000,000. Tho Cincinnati Press mentions the butchering of a 15 months pig, which weighed, dressed, G42 pounds. An "ex penso account" carefully kept with his pig-ship, shows a net profit of 822. Worth Knowing, Mr. Benjamin Treat of Southville, Conn., has lost several cat tle lately. They were poisoned by lick ing the paint of a newly painted barn. Decidedly Cool. The following instance of cool perform ances) is given by tho CloarGeld Journal.' "As everybody knows our county jail is a great institution, and occasionally the 'boardors' indulge in some rich per formances. On Saturday evening, Jas. Curly and Wm. Miller, who are serving out seutences of imprissonmcut, having been allowed the privilege of going into tho jail yard, scaled tho wall and va mosed. Miller loft a note, informing the Sheriff that he had gone homo to attend to some affairs, and that he would be back next evening. Curly cooly moved around "to see what was going on in town," until about nine o'clock, when he returned to the jail, and, all the doors be ing locked, had to call the Sheriff to get in Monday evening, Miller alo onme baok." An Extraordinary Surgical Operation. A most extraordinary surgical opera tion was performed Deo. 8tb, at tbe Roy al Infirmary, Edingburgb, Scotland, by Jrrof. byme, before a largo asseatlage of medical men from all sections. The Ed inburgh Advertiser states that tbe patient bad been afflicted with cancer of tho tongue. He was placed upon a table in tho theater, and immediately rendered insensible by chloroform. The Profes sor then made a vertical incision through tho integument covering the chin, and satccd through the lower jaw at the sym- pnysis; cut away the tongue at the root, clothe to tbe byoid bone: tied up the arte- rios quickly, placed the jaw together a gain, and sewed up the integument. There was very little bemorrhago, ami tho mau lost only a few- ounces of blood. He was able aftcr the operation was per formed to walk out of the room. At last accounts tbe man was well and happy, though speechless. He was fed with a tube, at first, but gradually became ablu to swallow; and the account says "ho spoke, or rather breathed out tho word milk.'" Walker's Bonds. It is stated that Gen.
