A Mansion for the Governor,
Every fye yea* a prrlgesitinti Is Set on
foot, acd Slreiluoqsly advocated by a portion
of the press, to build a palace for chief
executive olfiteref Pennsylvania, under the
title of "t The iSovernor'g Mansion." As
yet this scheme has been defeated- as oftefli
ss proposed? But tlnwproject has just been
ststted anew, mwt the future only can de
cide as to its success.
With nearly forty millions of State debt
burdening the Commonwealth, it seems to
us ahppsl criitw.'ijrl to sugijesf a'schenie;-
!br not only would the first cost of a dov?
efnor's palace bi large, bnt frequent appro
priations-would be required, as in the case
ol.lffi" White House," to repair and re-filr
nieli it. In fact; [every lime a new party
■ would.come into power, it would celebrate
its victory by, buying new.carpets, providing
new upholstery aud purchasing new table
'furniture for tneu successful chief. Moreo
ver, a splendid mansion would lead to great
er display, greater expenses, ami a cry for a
larger salary. This great Commonwealth
has heretofore prospered without, such fol-
I lies; it has passed through periods of pub lie
virtue which will never be surpassed at least:
it has been honored aboad and respeaied at
home.; and It is too late now to say that,
such iplace is demanded eilheir for the dig
nity of the State, the advancement of polit
ical integrity, or the increase of that estima
tion in which Pennsyrvatiia is already held
bjr her rislcis of iho Union.
j Tlie idea Hint a palace it necessary lor
the Governor is essentially tnti-repoblican.
The chief executive it but a citizen after all,
temporarily honored, indeed, by elevation
to ionpoitanl office, and perhaps'personally
distinguished for.snperior abilities; bur still
al the best, if considered in the light of se
vere and impartial truth, no belter than any
other honest mun. His only claim to inhab
it a palace consists in his representing, as
Governor, the collective majesty of the peo
ple. But this claim, in a republic, amounts
to nothing, for a republican chief should be
distinguished for a simplicity. Nor would
it ever be urged, but for the traditions of
monarctiical Kurope, which (till cling about
some Americans, and persuade such per
sons that pomp, show and, luxury ore indes
pensable to the head of a Coramonwealth.
la the childhood of nations, when the race
was unlettered, ignorant, and in its infancy,
the foolish people were easily tickled with
imperial purple, with costly palaces, and
with sounding titles; but when a communi
ty has atlvanced to manhood, when it has
learned to choose its own rulers, when it
professes to teach democratic principles, it
ought to he above such gew-gaws. We
class, it will be seen, state robes and even
titles with a sumptuous public 'mansion for
a governor, for tliey really originate in the
same fallacy—the fallacy th at the head of
commonwealth will be more respected or is
better worthy of honor if "clothed in purple
and tine linen," or inhabiting a princely pal
ace.
I No! a republican governor should be dis
tinguished by tiinplicity ol drees, oppear
aue and surroundings. Even llie worship
pers of rank and luxury, when sincere, have
mora respect for a republican officer who
thus deports himself than for one who apes
the tinsel of royalty. Franklin was honor
ed even at the Court of Versailles for It is
plain attire, and houored also when other
American ambassadors were laughed at fot
their display. The pomp which many ol
our tich and title-worshipping trucklers af
fect in Europe, is the jeer of the aristocracy
there and the private jest ol the circles of
royally. Every intelligent and wGrthy man
who visits the United Stales from the other
side of the Atlantic, praises, even if he is' a
nobleman, the republican simplicity which
generally distinguishes our courts, our log
islatve hulls and public ceremonials. We
trust that the people of Pennsylvania will
neither make themselves a mork to others
nor foster luxury and use parade and public
extravagance by building a palace for the
governor, under the delusive title of a man

Uncle Sam was born a nation seventy
seven years ago,—since then he has whip
ped his mother and one of his brothers ;
Ihtnshed the Bsrbary .cousins, threatened
France and made her pay up, and ''cleared
deeks" for battle with Austria. He has set
an example of liberty and popular power,
that has thoroughly heightened the despots
of the eaith, and perilled (heir ancient
thrones, lie has grasped a continent and
is fast covering, it with a free, educated
and thriving people. He has built more
ships than any other nation in. the same
time, and his flag is now seen en every sea
and ocean, and in every harbour and river.
He has built more steamboats, more mil
ways, more telegraph lines, more school
houses, more churches, more cities, bigger
Nbiea in that seventy seven years, than any
other nation in five hundred years. And
has printed more newspapers, made more
speeches, and done more bragging than any
other nation has done in a thousand years. •

The impression Is that
we have not yet reached the crisis in our
monetary irouhlea. The sooner we know
this the better. The weaker unincorporated

Ural stock prices must frotr) this, lime

to render any speedy
resuscitation" probable. Time, economy,
and great: labor can only bring busines and
J prices up to what they have been; Now
j (lint the bank* have commenced breaking,
I no one can tell how raphity bankruptcy may
overrun the country. Every additional foil-
I use makes the next more probable. Wo
have steadily pointed to lite very condition
,o! things nbw upon us. Wo hate opposed
the.oreation of debt for every thing not .if
immediate necessity, tmd have urged the
suspension of work tie all' improvements
that ooutd net be made productive by very
small expenditure. Had these suggestions
been followed,instead of being combatted
as they were in many quarter* ns groundless
apprehensions, much of the difficulty niw
experience I and which seems like to cortte,
might be nvoided. We say there is daily
giuwing distrust. -Credit is daily weaker.—
It is useless to deny it. Panic will but ag- ,
gravate it, aud that panic may be avoided,
we would have the trouble while yet' hi
some distance, and while it may jbe control
led, boldly faced. Banking must be mate
rially narrowed or it will be entirely up
rooted by failure. The bonds of unproduc
tive railroads must be withdrawn froiji the
market, and every merchant's and mar.ufac- ,
turer's business narrowed to as near a cash
basis as possible, arid this must bo (forte I
quiokly. Six months ago we urged the
same thing, ami we know of one or two i
i large manufacturing establishments in our
city that-acted rigidly on their suggestion,
and are now doing a comparatively smftll bu
siriess, though they are believed to be finan
cially easy. Others that we know, who con
tinued as actively employed selling as
freely on ereilit •* eeer, have failed. We
heard yesterday, ol two more, failures in
this eity-r-bofh in the Iron brKinoss, one of
Which is that of quite a large concern. Pa
per.of all kinds is negotiated with much dif
ficulty and only at high rates. The banks,
as ever heretofore, when their aid is most
wanted, can do nothing towards relief. On
the contraty, they grea'.ly aggravate the pres
sure by becoming grasping in their demands,
and remarkably close in their acccmtnoda
lions. Necessity forces this Condition of
tilings on them. They have no alternative.
Ir is inseparable from the system Of bank-)
ing, and affords another illustration of the
folly of making bank accommodations a ba
sis of burliness. The trader who has least
to do with banks invariably comes 'out best
in the end. Banks have money when few
want it, and seduce the unwary into enter
prises that oftsner than otherwise 'swallow
them in ruin, affording np telief in the hour
of trial. Our city authorities should pause
in their expenditures while this
state of things continues, and until city loans,
which are now s.elljng at 90, are up to par,
no addition should be allowed to be made
to the city debt. SVith prudenee and econo
my on the pari of all..the financial crisis
may pass, leaving the country little harmed.
But it does no good, on the contrary much
harm, to endeavor to create the impression
that there is nothing in the future to ho ap
prehended. It i true the most of the .hanks
that are uow failing are small and unincor
porated, but they are nevertheless, banks,
doing a regular banking business, even to
the issue ol notes, and are more or less re
cognized by, and connected in business with
the regular chartered hanks.

FROM THE SEAT OF WAR.
The Russians to the number of Thirty :

English cavalry with ibe loss of 500 horses.
Other despatches state that after a holly con

THE LATEST BY, TELEGRAPH.
LONDON, Saturday morning, NoviJ4.— ■'The
accounts from the East, are still conflicting,
but the English reports say tbo siege of So
bastonol was progressing favorably, up to
the 27 th of October. j
A despatch from Lonl.Redcliffe, oonfirms
'he report that 30,000 Russians bad attacked
and captured the forts at Balaklava.
The Russian Admiral Nachmoff, was kill
ed by a shell. The loss of the allies is com
paratively small.
Lord Raglan is understood to be favorable
to a ptolonged bombardment in pretence of
an immediate assault.
The Public Works.
A movement is now on foot to abolish the
Canal Board, and instead of three Commis
sioners, to create a Superintendent who
shall exercise the functions of the pres
ent Board.—Previous to the election we
heard much about a sale of the Public Works
and were led ahno.-t, to believe that should
Mr. Pollock be elected Governor, his first
act would be tn urge the sale ; but no soon
er did the figures show that he was elected
than the cry of "sell the public works"
ceased, and the project was started bv the
Whig papers, to place them in the hands of
one man and that one man to be appointed
by the Governor.
We nave never favored a sale of the
Public Works of,the Stale, because we
doubled the policy, but we would infinite
ly prnler to see lliem sold than have them
placed under the control of one man, with
the entire attaches.
if the arguments used for a sate were
good previous to the election, they are good
now, aa-1 if those who advocated the meas
| urn \vcro sincere then, ihpy should show
their sincerity by sldl continuing to advo
cate the sale.—Abuses may have existed
in the management of the Public Works,
but we deem it a very poor way of correct
ing these abuses, by removing three men,
and confiding the whole management of the
improvements into the hands of one. II
three men will join in corruption, as is char
ged by the Whigs against the Canal Board,-
and which, from our knowledge of them
we are unwilling to believe, is uot more
likely that a single individual, having the
entire control and disbursement of the pub
lic money, 'would be corrupt also, and to
a greater degree, because bis opportunities
would be belter ?
We have no objection to auch legislation
on the subject as will throw every guard
aiouml the management of the public im
provements anil the treasury of the people,
that can possibly be thought or, to protect
lite interests of the tax-payers, but we can
not for the life of us see how such ends
will be accomplished by the j proposed
change. As we said before, if there is dan
ger that three men, sworn to be honest,
! will prove dishonest, is it likely that one
man will be pure ? And if the counsels of
I three intelligent officers be inefficient in so
extensive and impcrtout matter as the man
agement of the Public Worka, extending
from one end of the Slate to the other, how
will it b with a single indivduaU Thero is
not a Itailroad in the Union, no matter how
short or unimportant, that is under the con
trol of a single individual, but each has its
board of managers, and why should It be
so with the improvements of the State I—>

'•This safhe man who landed at Boulogne
in 18 K>, with n single steamer and a few
frielids on a desperate abortive expedition,
reviaiu it in 1854 to review a vast army and
receive the homage of countless spectators.
The same man who six years ago lived in
obscurity in London, scarcely able to pay
his tailor's, and quite unable to pay his
horfe-doaler's bill—wham, many looked up
on as stupid, and whom none looked upon
as wise, of whom few augured well , and
whom none would trust much, we have just
seen receiving the visits 'and compliments
of the comprt of ogr Queen, entertaining
three royal guests ot bia table, one of tbem
the son-in-law of the very monarch whom
Ire had succeoded, and admitted bsyo'hd all
denial into the social circle of royal person
, ages. Nor is this change in his singular for
tunes the only one, nor perhaps the greatest.
We can imagine him smiling with even a
more grim satisfaction, as he contrasts tho
language of the English press regarding him
in 1852 and now; sitting with the Times or
the Examiner of December 1851, or of Au
gust 1854 before him, and marvelling at the
metamorphosis; the unmcaured abuse which
was showered upon hiin al the former date,
and the decorous respect ami cordial praise
with which lie i spoken of now. The
