A GOOD SPEECH
We direct the reader's attention to a

sentiments contrast strangely with the
generality of frothy nonsense put forth by
Abolition orators.

ADJOUBNMENT OF THE LEG
ISLATUBE.
The committee of • conference from the
Senate and House of i ßepresentatives have
agreed upon the 15th of April ea the day
of final adjournment.
FROM THE STATE CAPITAL.
HARRISBURG, March 25, 1863.
DEAR POST—But little of interest to
your county or section occurred in the
Legislature to-day. No local bills were
up and but few private bills were consid
ered, none of which affect your citizens in
any way.
There were a few items of general in‘er•
est to which I will refer.
In the House a motion was made to re
consider the vote on an act to authorize
school directors to select sites for school
houszs, and oil that motion a further mo
tion was made to indefinitely postpone
the matter, upon which Mr. Johnson of
Crawford, took the floor against its post -
'ponement. He was followed by Mr. Ben
edict and others, who took similar ground.
Mr. Champneys rode to explain why he
desired the county of Lancaster exempted
from certain provisions of the bill. Much
time was spent in discussing pro and con.
Upon call of the yeas and nays the bill
passed finally.
The Speaker presented communications
respectively from the State Librarian and
the Adjutant General.
The communication from the Adjutant
General was a report upon the claim of
one .1. Pugh, late Brigade 11181,0 , r of
the Second Brigade, 5t...0..d
Pennsylvania Malitia, submitted by the
administrator of said Pugh. The amount
asked for is 5895.
The communication irons Vi iiliam
Dewitt. State Librarian, reports the
amount of moneys received add expended
by him since the Ist of January. Io';J, au
dited and approved by the A9ditor Gene
ral. Ordered, to be printed.
Mr. Barger read the followiiig, relative
t%the rights of married women, in place
Be it enacted etc., That where any es
taking elect subsequent to the fitl day of
April, 1848, divided, conveyed, given to,
or in any way acquired by any married
woman to and for her separate use. or as
her separate estate without intervention of
trustee, and the said shall have been con
veyed or mortgaged by her by any deed or
instrument duly acknowledged by her,
land in which she has joined as a party, the
said conveyance or mortgage and the es
tates and interests thereby created shall be
and be taken to be of like force and effect
in all respects as if the same had been giv
en and executed under and in the due ex
ercise of a power authorizing such convey
ance or mortgage contained in the instru
ment by which the said separate estate of
the said married woman was created :
Provided, That this act shall not affect any
case heretofore finally adjudicated by the
Supreme Court,
The following bill, entitled an act to
prevent banks, brokers, insurance com
panies, saving institutions and other mon
eyed corporations, from dealing in gold cr
silver, has just been introduced by Mr.
Walsh, of Luzerne:
SEeTtox I. He it enacted, &c., 'That
from and after the passage of this act, any
and all banks, broker or brokers, insu
rance companies, trust companies, saving
institutions, and other moneyed corpora
tions, shall be, and hereby are pro
hibited from making or continuing
any loan or loans in money or
otherwise; upon gold Coin or bullion, or
paper representations of these or either of
them, or upon any foreign bill or bill of
exchange whatsoever, under the penalty
of a forfeiture of their charter or articles
of association, as the case may be; and
any such loan or loses so made or contin
ued to be made, shall be absolutely void,
and no act for the recovery thereof shall
lie in or be entertained by any court of
justice of this State,
Both the above bills have many friends
and will probobly pass,
History is Philosophy Teaching by
Example
Old and trite as this adage is, which has
come down to us from antiquity, few men
seem to have profited by the lessons thus
taught. We would nevertheless, even at
the risk of being irksome, recommend to
Mr. Stanton, our able and distinguished
Secretary of War, the perusal of the fol
lowing lines, taken from the third book of
the History of Tacittts:
"Vitallius, after the overthrow of his
"army at Cremona, thought it good policy
"to suppress the news. By that shallow
"artifice he made everything worse. Die
"similation could only postpone the retn
"edy, but not ward off the consequences
"of that terrible defeat. Had the event
"been fairly told, a council might have
"been called, and there were resources
"still in reserve. In the midst of ruin he
"pretended to be in a flourishing condi
"tion, and by that policy was undone.—
"The citizens of Rome were not allowed
"to talk of the news of the day, and, for
"that reason they talked the more. Since
"liberty of speech was no longer allowed,
"they gave out, fictitious accounts
"instead of the plain truth; and because
"they were restrained, took their revenge
"by making everything appear worse."
If the business of the War Department,
and the frequent cabinet meetings, were
to allow Mr. Stanton to look into history
for advice, the History of the Annals of
Tacitus might teach him a sound lesson.
We have given him the text ; he will know
where to look for the commentary: ---Age.
No Loans in Gold above Par.
A bill has just been introduced in the
Legislature to prohibit all corporations
and bankers from making, loans on gold
coin, or paper representing gold, beyond
its par value. Such loans are declared to
be null and void, and are not recoverable
in any civil action. • '
Letter from Hon. Wm. Hopkins.
the following letter from Hon. William
Hopkins, containing his withdrawal from
the contest for the Gubernatorial nomina
tion before the convention in June, will
be read with interest by his friends, and
its sentiments approved by every sincere
lover of our Commonwealth.
Mr. Hopkins having made up his mind
not to go into the contest, present, his
views as to the character and qualifica
tions of a suitable nominee for the party ;
and in his modest and explicit declina
tion gives utterance to opinions at once
so disinterested and proper that they can
not fail to commend themselves to the pub-
HARRISBURG, March 22, 1862.
To the Editors of 11.,: Patriot and Union:
G ENTI,E.M.EN — Hming received many as
surances, from different parte of the
State, that I would be supported for the
nomination for Governor, at the, ap
proaching Convention, and having made
up my mind not to go into the contest, I
deem it due to those who have thus vol
untarily indicated their preference, to
place before them, and the public, some
of the reasons-which have influenced me
in coming to- this decision. I have al
ways regarded the position of Governor
as one that ought not to be sought after,
and acting upon this idea, I have never!'
personally, solicited a vote in my life, not
withstanding my name has been used in that
connectiorton former occasions. This hay
ing been trey ruleot action heretofore, I see
no inducement for departing from it now.
Indeed, if there ever was a time when the
selection of- a candidate should be left to
the voluntary judgment of the people,
wholly uninfluenced by the importance of
aspirants, that time is the present. If we
look abroad over our bleeding country, the
patriot is horrified at the dark, impenetra
ble cloud, which overshadows our political
horison. All human forecast is bellied in
attempting to solve the problem
of our future, either as a State or
Nation. We are in the midst
of a crisis. such as the world has seldom,
if ever, seen. The whole fabric of our
government seems to be tottering to its
very base, and none but Ile who holds in
His hands the destinies of nations and of
men can tell whiit is to be our fate. The
responsibilities that will devote on the
next Governor will be appalling beyond
precedent. That there should, at such a
time, be a scramble for the nomination is
most amazing. To my own mind it is
clear that those who really comprehend
the magnitude of the difficulties which en•
viron us should be the last to reek the po
sition. Here, perhaps, I ought to stop. But
when I contemplate the interests at stake,
I feel constrained to venture a suggestion or
two in regard to the qualities which. I
think, our candidate should possess. This
I trust I may be allowed to do, nut being
one myself. Among these I will mention
that, in my opinion, the candidate should
be a man of expertence.mature judgment,
and unquestioned administrative abilities.
He should be a man of the most indomita
ble courage and firmness, such as would
enable him to interpose a manly resist•
ance to all infractions of the Censtitu
tion, and encroachments upon the sover
eignty of the State, and rigl.l. and
liberties of hen citizens. He should be
a man of unfaltering fidelity to the Con•
stitution of the United States and the
Union, as they were founded by Wash
ington. He should be not only untram
meled by corporate power, but entirely
ueyond such influences. Upon thispoint
too much care cannot be taken, fur it
must be apparent to all that this in
fluence has, already, made fearful

benefit of two corporations, and that too
by the notorious use of corrupt means, the
question may well be asked, • •Is there nbt
tniminent peril to be apprehended from
this quarter in future r But above all,
the candidate should be a man of incor
ruptible integrity, whose private character
is Invulnerable, and whose public record
in the past will be a sufficient gurantee
that his future will bring no reproach
upon our glorious old Commonwealth.
\irith such a standard bearer we would go
before the people with a certainty of sec . -
cess.
In conclusion, I desire to tender to all
who have deemed me worthy of so exalted
.a position my profound gratitude, with
the assurance that I shall cherish, with
the fondest recollection. these indications
of confidence and negard as long as I I shall
live.

The Supply of Ice
The present has been one of the Im , at
I remarkably mild winters ever known in
the United States. From Boston to St.
Louis, everybody seems to be horror
stricken at the slim chance of procuring
ice enough for the mint juleps and sherry
cobblers, and the result is that the price
of ice runs high, and there is considera
ble excitement in the market. This
state of affairs is likely to make ice suoh a
luxury that few besides cotton specula
tors and Government contractors will be
able to indulge M it.
