Til t COLtlMfllA DEMOCRAT. i it "TllUTIi wsxnocT TZAJl K.irann.iv, dece.iibeii 22, teas. 611 Monday last, at tho opening of tho House of Representatives, Mr'.( Smith of Franklin, announced that three members of tho house'. Messrs. Butler and Sturdevant', of Luzerne, and Moutolius, of Union were in their seats, ready and willing to take and subscribe tne necessary oaths. On this anr nuncialion, Mr. Butler arose and delivered' an address, thq substance of which we give below. The Keystone makes the follow ing remarks ih relation to the 'course pur sued by these gentlemen ; " This eho'rf.but impressive spe'pch, pro duced the most striking effect. Tho large crowd assembled', manifested the utmost in tensity of feeling, lill Mr. Butler sat down, when tho emtio or joy. beamed oii eery anxious countenance'; Vc liop'o the mad ca'rtiir of llio federal leaders will be arrested by this patriotic act'. It deprives jlicm of IHk power to do evil', and leaves iii'e'nl in their linked deformity1, to the contempt of all honcslirieri'.. To doubt these tli'rcc "gen glemen will be fiercely assailed by the me nial pack of Vnltt ruinators who surround finv Uitiifir's A'lnHriistra'tton': biit their foul slau'ii'crs will recoil on Urn heads of their au thors', and will only endaF 't'o all patriots and Uonefo men', the namesj of .BUTLER, STlIRDEVAiTl' and MONTEDIIJS;. as men who lbve Uieir country better than their party." MR. BUTLER'S REMARKS. Mr- Butler, remarked ni. substance as fol lows. . That he desiied toisii ii few woi'ds in behalf of himself and tiiose wliri. presen ted themselves wiih him this morning. This he said irisly not bo exactly w order, but in times like these, when disorder of a moreimportant chafacter, so widely pre vailed, lie hoped this indulgence would be granted. He xlid not propose to go into an examination of llVe iinfnrti'ina't'ti proceedings 'of the first day 'on tvhfch the r'eprcscnta livesof the people" mot in this Hall, but ho niu&t be fiermilted to say', that fron the in formation, then iii their possession,' n.'aml those with whom lib immediately acted', thought they were right, andho would add that subsequent careful cxamin'ali.on of tho subject had satisfied him that if all the facts of the caso had been known and a ivionieri't given for reflection, tho result would have been different, and such an organization of tho house of representatives been effected, as wduld have averted the evil Which Is how hanging over us and our constituents. Tlie subject has now, ho said, resolved itself into one of serious and solemn duty, duty to ourselves, to our constituents and to the'couimonwealtli. As 3uch, said Mr. B., he and tlloVe who were not acting with him, had giveu it most earnest', anxious and de liberate consideration, and the conclusili'n has been to act with firmness at the propej moment but not Hastily. .The evils of precipitate action, are plainly, seen in the present ileplorablc condition bf things, and are deeply felt by the people bT Pennsylva nia, thrdilgh all her bordor3. The moment for actloli has how' arrived. , Negociation has been restored to, id bring about a rec oncilliation between gentlemen who differ in their viewi-r-hut, strange to say, it has most signally failed. There is no hope of safely for our institutions from that source. Something else must be done and, said Mr. B., the only way open, as it appearcd to liim, was to lake the step which himself, his colleague, and Urn gentlcnieii from U nion had proposed now to take. AIL party cbnsVderations the pridp of opinion and feling. must be laid dp.on fhe alter, and offered up, as a willing sacrifice to the pub lio goon". Sir, it involves no sacrifice of pi'itic iple.br of honor. If it did, his would lie tho last to make it. Aity thing every this else, he was ready to offer up, and ho was ready, 'Gurtius like to p'ltingo into the jrulf that "was yawning before lis, if by so doinif, could it be closed. ; Sir, continued Mr. Butler, wc may bo a'e'ecused of timidity but he rriiist be per mitted to remark that it requires more firm ness and courage to oppose the wishes of ymlr friend's, than to meet your opponents face to face.. For sir.said he, wo arc proud to yield to other and nobler considerations the peace atld welfare of tho republicand tho hope of a restoration to a healthy ac tion in all the departments of our govern ment. Peihaps sir, n taking our seats iii this body, we over-estimate the consequen ces of that act. Be it so. He had the coji eolation howovcr of feeling that it was done with the hone tho confident hope, and would to God, he could add, the assurance that it would tend to a termination of t tho confusion and almost anarchy which reigns throughout 'our beldtod Cownionwoalth. We regret thai wo havp not room for the manly address of Mr. Montelius, to his con stituents, upon taking his scat in tlie house on Monday last. Tho federal( papers havo industriously circulated, jvilh . their, tisiial. disregard tot truth, 'tha,t.Gen. Dillcr had left Harrisburg, to avpu(bei'ng arrested upon a charge of high treason', by somojof Sleven'sjand Pe'ii rose's pinions., . This, as might be expect ed proVos not to lie a fact'. The Keystone says,'! G"cn- filler', the firm and indefati gable chairmen of the committee of safety, was arrested for sedition and misdemeanors of a treasonable kind', but after a fair hear ing and examination of witnesses bv the Attorney General, ho was honorably dis charged hy Judgo falyihe. Nothing was found in the case to prove a rebellion here, a fact which the federalists are so anxious to establish. - - .- Tho noble conduct of Messrs. Butter, Sturdevant and Montelius, irius arrest the wicked designs of Stevens Co. as the house is now fully and lawfully organized beyond question, with a majority of .undis puted members. What course the Senate will now pursue, is uncertain, as at the last accounts tlioy had come to no decision. On Saturday last", an election was held for Coonel .of 71st Regiment, in the rooni of Elias Mclienry resigned', when Major Math'evV McDowcl wa's elected. 3i.imitshuiia coniir.xv'ox'DE.vcE OF THE COLUiMBIA DEMOCRAT. ,. HAnnisnunoj Dt'c. 15, i838. Mr. Webd, , Dear Sir I have not any thing liko news to write yqu. Matters and things here have been about the same for the last six days. Tho military appears to occupy. the attention of the good people of tj)is place mote than tho making of laws. Tlie Iwo pilles not having, as yet, been able to make a cdrtfpromise, the Senate has taken the i.natter in hand for us. Where they get their authority', the Lord only knows, for tbb'V cannot tell but as the majority of them is of tho right faltli to do any thing to suit tlteir own purposes, they1, of course, will aciini't, the whig house, and then comes the tug of war. General Joe's troops,t$iick-Shot General; aritl all the most faithful of his hangers oii, will have to show wllelHer they aie game or not, jfbr a fight, there miis't be before they get possession (jf the house rjc-w occupied by the democracy of Pennsylva nia, sent hero by a majority of their fellow- citis'ens, and not by a minority. December 10. Wo Have passed over one more day without any body being killed, but not without a very splendid military parade. Sunday appears to bo a favorite day for General Joe's troops to make a show. Tticy 'rnado Iheit grand oniric Into this place on Sunday, and took their departure 10-day for their homes, in all about 800. Upon the starting of tho cars, in which they were seated, the men com.menced cheering Governor Porter; the officers tried to piit the gag law iii force, but they could not stop them, they continued cheering him as far as we could hpar them. Tlio cause oT their being ordered home is yct'iri doubt, as they were hardly out of sight when three erinipahys from Carlisle, amounting to about 100, were marched into town. The only reasdn'given for their return to the city is that there were too many democrats among tli'em, for it is pretty certain that they could riot raise but about G5 out of all the troops that were here, that would agree to keep Kinfiose on the throne. They left very mucli dissatisfied on account of the treat ment they received here, having been fed ori cold, beef and cold coffee. , The toiies say that it was goon fare enough for the de mocratic rebels The troops, while here, marched by the houso of Governor Ritner several times id see him, but ho never made his appearance; which added to their dis content. Having been called on by him, and ho being the Commander in Chief, they thought and expected lo havo bfecn treated with a Utile politeness. I think It would bo a very difficult mailer for Josd and company to get an army from Philadel phia again to protect him arid his band of pirates. What tho last troops were brought for, we have not as yet ascertained, but sup pose they are some of Penroso'sLifcGuard, If they came hero"to sustain tho tqry party in placing tho minority in the hoiise they had better remained at home in bed. December 17 This day has brought forth something cheering to the good people of Ponnsylva- niai and no doubt has been the prevention' of blood being shed. Messrs. Butler and Sturdevant, of Luzerne, and (Montelius, of Union, came into ihe hotisp this morning and wcro sworn by Speaker Hopkins.
