It. BUGKAIjEW. JNO. S. CAKMLE. Washington, March 1, IGO l. Addresaof the Democratic State , Senators. , v, To the Democrats of Pennsylvania: Fellow Citizens : At this juncturo in tho proceedings of the Sonato of Pen-i asylvania, the undersigned deem it their right and duty to address you. For more than two months we havo un itedly and determinedly withstood au ef fort on tho part of tho Kepublican mem bers of that body to subvert tho organic law, to ignore tho precedents of sevonty years of our history, and to trainplo undor foot the rights of their equals and peers. In so doing wo have Been actuated by tho high resolve, that by no act of tho repres entatives of tho only law-abiding political organization iu this Commonwealth should tho rights and constitutional privileges ol tho peoplo bo subverted. Wo havo relied with unshaken faith upon that people for onr support and vindication, and to the end that their verdict may bo rendered with a full knowFcdgo of tho facts, wo beg leave to present a brief history of our pos ition during tho protraoted and exciting contest which has just closed. Tho members of tho Sen ito assembled in tho Senate Chamber at Ilarrisburg on Tuesday, January 5th, A. D. 1601, at 3 P. M. Of the twenty-two Senators holding over, all wero present save Major White, who was a prisoner in the hands of the rebels; of those present, twelve were Democrats, and nino Republicans. The Scnato was called to order by the Hon. J. P' Penney, tho Speaker elected at tho eloso of the session of 1863. Tho Secre tary ol tho Commonwealth was then in troduced and presented tho returns from the dhlricts which had elected Senators in October 1803. The returns were opened and read, by which it appeared that four Democrats and seven Republicans had been elected all of whom wero present, thereby causing a tio in the voto between the two great political organizations of the country as represented on that door. Upon tho reading of the certificates of election, it would have been tho duty of the Senator elected Speaker at tho close of tho session of 18fi3, to have vacated the chair, had he been governed in his action by tho express terms of tho Constitution, which, by section X, Article I, prescribes that'the General Assembly shall meet on the 1st Tuesday of January in every year and by section XI, of the same Articlo, that ''each House" (i. e. when they meet on that day) shall elect its Speaker and other ofiioers. It appears to tho undor signod that tho word "each House shall elect its Speaker" aro sufficiently certain to determine tho question that no one elected Speaker by tho Senate of 1803 could exercise the duties of that olBcc over tuo tie nato ol iao4 the latter being a' sew and disiinct body, mado up of other members who had never participated in an election for Speaker, and as by tho ex press terms of tho Constitution, "each House shall (when they meet on the first Tuesday in January in each year) elect Us Speaker and oihrr officers" it is manifest and clear ihat the Senator from Allegheny had no nhadow of right to exerciso the duties of Speaker over this new Senate which had uever elected him its Speaker, and wo have uever recognized him as such. But admitting, lor the sake of argument, that the words of the Constitution are ambiguous and uncertain, then precedent and usage, il they exist, must determine their meaning, and by this test the under signed desire that their position may be tried. During a period of seventy years, from 1791 until this day, there is but one other instance whero a Speaker elected by a former Senato attempted to exercise the iuties of his offico orer a succeeding and new Senato, and that was during the 'Buck Shot War," when tho lato Char les B. Penrose, the Speaker holding over, ntertained two motions relativo to con tested seats; but, when these wero deter mined, wen he vacated tho chair, and did not daro to rcsumo it, until by tho voto ol the new Senate, ho was elected Speaker. If tho Republican members of tho Scuate of 1804 can gather comfort from thi3 one so.itary exception in tho unbroken lino of precedents, they aro welcomo to it. The "boldness and magnitude of their act of usurpation has destroyed its significance as a doed of revolution.

Wu havo heretofore exposed tho fallaoy of the first position by refcrcnoo to the words of tho Constitution, and to tho un broken prcccncnts of seventy years. In addition, we will present a test which will so dearly expose tho uuwarrantablo and unconstitional nature of their claim, that no ono, however prejudiced, may mis- take or misundcrstand'it. 'fl BytheXXlll section, Article 1st, ofi'J the Constitution of this Stato, it is provid cd that all hills passed by tho Legislature and presented to the Governor for his sig nature, within tcu days of the final ad journment, shall become laws without his signature, uulcss sent back (with his ob jections) within three days after their next meeting. In 1655 tho Legislature met on the sou ond day of January. The contest for Speaker was prolonged until tho fifth, when tho lion. Win. M. Ilicster, ot Ucrks eouuty. was elected. Upon the sixth, the fourth day after their meeting, the Gover- nor ot the Looimonwcalth returned, with his objections, several of the most impor- j taut bills passed by tho Legislature of i 1851. If the position of tho Republican ' Senators of 18G1 is correct, viz: that the Senate is always organized, and that the Speaker of the former Souato is tho Speak-. er of the new Senate, then those bills of I 1854, voted by Governor Higler on the I fourth day of the session of 1855, arc ' laws notwithstanding his vetoes, ihat this is not so, or at least that none of the eminent lawyers and statesmen who com- i posed that Senato (among whom wore Price, liuckalew, Ilicster and Darsio) so thought, is evinced by tho fact that they ' all voted upon those vetoes as required by tho Constitution, which thoy surely would not have done had thoy been of opinion j thoy had been sent in too lato.

Wo learn, from a gcntloman who hits spoilt sevoral days in Luzomo oo,, Pena,, somo interesting particulars concerning tho epidemio, popularly known as tho "spottod fever,"' wliich has oauscd such havoo in that region, The disoaso mado its ap pearance in a house situated on tho high est and airest ground in Oarbondalo, and oarriod off threo ohildron of ono family in a fow hours. The symptoms aro a fit of trembling, liko a common nguo, and nniu across tho brow. Within an hoar red spots or blotches begin to break out all over tho body, and a raging fovcr sets in, accompanied by delirium. Tho dis ease comes to its crisis in from six to ten hours, and in most cases terminates fatally., All classes of society and all ages aro lia ble to it, though tho worst of its ravages is among the ohildron. In ono instaucc an entire family of seven children fell vic tims to it. Various methods of treatment arojresorted to ; but a sure prevention, or cure, has not been discovered. Our in- formcnt states that a hut bath, at tho out setofthodiBcaso, has been found to bo onr efficacious. TllCfO is abundant cvi- ' ' ,i f ' dence to show that thO spotted lever I3 not COIltagioUS, but epidemic. Beyond that, .. . i - 1 ii . -rr in r.e -It M, it is an enigma which tho efforts of all tho , physicians who have visited the county on 1" Ja"-' missions of humanity havo failed to solve. In this rospect, however, it is no more mysterious than any other of the cp.idcm io. Modern science, with all its experi ence and lore, has not been alio to tharw much light on the origin of these calami tous visitations. With regard to tho 'spot ted fever' iu Luzeruo, it has been ascer tained that tho person in whoso house it first broke out, had some timo previous purchased and stored away on tho prem ises a small quantity of seeend hand cloth ing, some of which, it is said, had boon used in army hospitals, Tlw seeds of tho epidemio may have been wrapped up in this clothing and they may not have been. It is puroly a matter of conjecture. The same diseato has mado its appearance in other places, at other times (scarcely a j year passes that it is not heard of soma-! wherein tho country',) where no cause, could be discovered. In Lujerno county, it has been carefully studied by a large number of intelligent physicians, and a oarcful comparison of their views may de termine the best mode of treatment, out of the many modes that have been tried, ovon if they canuot account philosophically for the origin oi tho disease. Its ravages havu been most serious at Carbondalo, where it tmt appeared ; but it lias also bcon very destructive in other towns and villages of the county. The whole number of deaths are reported at nearly -iuu. At last oc counts it was subsiding, and it speedy disappearance from tho uufortunato coun ty, was confidently looked for. Jourtial of Commerce. Payment of the Militia. Why is it that the patriotic militia, who so promptly responded to the call of the Governor during the first rebel raid into tbis State, havo never been paid! Thou sands of oilizens mado great pecuniary sao rificcs on that occasion, suspended all business operations, and it is right that they should be remunerated. If wo mis take not, the Legislature passed a law making provision for tho payment of the militia, and thousands of dollars wero ex pended iu having tho ncocssary blanks printed. In pursuance of orders from the Adjutant General tho various company rolls wero properly made out and furnish cd to his department last summer, aud tho militia given to understand that their pay would bo forthcoming in a very short time. Tho election passed by, the "sol diers friend" was successful, and the mili tia havo not yet been paid 1 The question is, what became ol tho money specially ap- propriated for that purpose !
