his authority. How much truth there is in
tho aniclo will bo seen by the following
which wo extract from, the Koystono.
, .Mr. MONTELIUS' SP3EOH:
' Tho last Telegraph with, its usual re
gard for truth, says, that Montelius lias
disavowed his speech as copied from the
' Union Times,' and says that it is not true
that tho speech is tho production of John
Snyder, or some other miserable loco loco ;
&c. &c." ....
Wo have seen Mr. Montelius; who says
thai lib had read the speech .in the Keystone
as copied by us from the Union Times
and that there was but one word', which was
not exactly as ho had given it; This he
Wished us to c6rrcet, by subsisting at tti'n
head of tlid following sentence, the word
' some" oi "several" for "all." as folldws:
" All sonic or several" di the heads df

that he daronot think of holding back, now.
One of them stated, that if ie did fly the
course, they would write to his district and
have him broken 'down."
y'e advise Governor Ritner and the
heads bf Depaiment, arid others concerned
as movers 'and actors in the late conspiracy
to client tho people, to keep tbbl, for the
truth will tome, and 'matters will tie revealed
that are vastly more serious and alarming
than those mentioned by Montelius; The
opinion of the people as to the conspiracy,

Gov; Messrs. Stevens, Penrose, Ctirrowcs,

THE DYING STRUGGLES.
The Ilarri'sburg Reporter says : It will
bis seen by the debate in the House of Re
presentatives, that the leaders of the Feder
al party die bxtremcly hard. Conscious
that their acts of attempt usurpation, which
gave rise to the lain excitement m Pennsyl
vania, arc viewed with strong disapproba
tion by the people they seem determined,
like drowning men, to catch at straws to
save themselves from sinking. Tho simple
propbsition to pay the individuals employ
ed by the Sergeant-al-ArmSj under the di
lection of the speaker, to maintain the rules
of thb House, and prevent when it was not
in session, any other body from holding ses
sions in the Hall, was rather imprudently
claihied as an evidence that Gov. Ritner was
justifiable in calling out aii armed force lo
suppress tumult. This exultation was, how
ever, of short duratioii. When it was dis
tinctly shown that the additional deputy Ser-geauts-at-Arms
were employed in conse
quence of the expressed determination of
tho disorganizes composing what has been
denominated tho Cunningham house; back
ed as it was known to be by a number of
the Halifax rioters, to meet ill tho Hall of
the House when it wa3 shown that this
was the only mob from which violence was
apprehended thb Federal members, who,
from an over-heated zeal in get out bf a
scrape,broughtoii the discussion, were over
whelmed with confusion. They saw that
the bait would not take with the people, and
exhibited exideht symptoms that they had
comilienced "barking up the wrong tree."
NEW JERSEY AROUSED;
A tremendous meeting oi tho people bf
New Jcrsoy, was held at Trenton on tho
8th of January inst. to express their horror
at the atrocious frauds committed by the
federal governor and council of that State at
tho late election, and tn aroudo the democra
cy to a just senso of their duly to themselves
and to posterity. The proceedings are of
a high order, and breathe the purest patri
otism. It would seem as if there had been
a general understanding among tho federal
ists, to make at .the late elections, in eveiy
part of tho Union, a desperate attempt to
bring into disrepute the elective franchise,
and break down the right of .free suffrage,
which they so much despise, and which is
always eo formidable to them. Keystone.

THE FINANCES' OF Tltti STATE.
From tho lato report of tho Stato Trcas
urcr, it appears that about ono millldn two
hundred thousand dollars will bo necessary
lo meet tho demands, upon the Treasury!
which arc not due,and will bo in a very fow
days. '1 his stale of affairs, with a Treasu
ry drained by Governor Ritner, until not a
slnglo dollar is left, is giving rise to c,onsid-
cral exultation upon tho part of the Feder
alists; arid they are al ready feasting them
selves on the hope, that tho administration
of Governor Porter will borrow the money
required by tho exigencies of the, State,from
inciianKoi uio unitcubtatcs. Hut as "mis
fortunes never come single," wo would say
to these gentlemen, that, in this matter, they
will bc.againMisappointcd. Governor Por
ter will borrow no money from thb United
Slates Bank. Ho will be driven to no stick
alternative. J. ho democratic members of
the House of Representatives, will pass no
law requiring the Governor to mako such
a load; and if thoy did, he would not ap
prove t. We are anxious a3 any other
citizens of the Commonwealth can .be, to
maintain sacred and inviolate the plighted
faith of the State, oil all occasions, and we
are desiious that immediate provisions
should bo made, by which the heary liabili
ties of the State can be liquidated. Wc arc
also equally desirous that the position of
uncompromising hostility to the Bank of
tho Unithd States; assumed on all occasions
by the tlgmocracy of the State, shall be ri
gidly and honorably maintained) and wo
are glad to learn') that all tho money neces
sary for the demands of tho State, can bo
obtained by Governor Porter, from other
quarters, and we believo upon terms equally
favorable lb the Stale. lul)sloiic.
