The Assumption of State Debts.
The Gazette of Wednesday contains a
letter from,a Mr. James Cooper, who rep
tesents Adama and Franklin counties, in
Congress, on the subject of the State Debts,
and in favor of Cost Johnson's plan. It
explains that the invention of the London
Stockjobbers, but the explanation only
makes the scheme appear more unjust and
impracticable.
The proposition is to issue bonds to the
amount of $200,000,000, bearing interest at
3 per cent.whicli are to be distributed among
the States in proportion to their members of
Congress, and the proceeds of the public
dolltaiu are to be devoted to the payment of
the $200,000,000 and the interest. It is
taken for granted that the proposed bonds
will be received by British brokers for the
State Debts, because the suggestion to issue
them originally came from the London Ban
kers' circular, and is reiterated in a letter to
Col:. Wm. Robinson, from Overead, Gur
trey 4. Co., filmdom Bankers, w hich appeared
in the Advocate of yesterday. Now, the
advocates of this brilliant- conception of
British brokers, have not duly considered
the matter, or they would not have sent
forth such a thread-bare proposition. If
the - holders of American stock in Europe,
would take the revenuelfrom the public lands
alone, for their claims on the States, we fear
they would not be so likely to get their mon ,
ey as they are under existing arrangements.
To prove this we will invite the Gazette to
make a calculation: The interest on the
proposed $200,000,000 of stock at 31 per
cent, will be $8,000,000. The proceeds
irom the public lands for the last two years,
bays not averaged $2,000,000; but suppose
they would amount annually to $5,000,000,
We would then ask the editor of the Ga.
setts to show how long it would take the
public lands to pay off this $200,000,000,
and the yearly interest of $8,000,000,
perannum? When he solves this problem,
we shall perhaps Le able to fled other (>l4 ec
time to Mr. Cost J,,hnson's plan.
The Memooratie National Convention.
There is a communication in the Globe,
which suggests that the lime and place of
bolding the Democratic National Convene
don, litiould be Geed by the Democratic
Members of Congress, previous to the close
'of the present session. The plan is a good
one, and seems to be the only way in which
the question can be settled.
In regard to the time of holding this Con
vention, we have before expressed ourselves
in favor of May, 1843. And we would re—
spectfulliysubm' t that Pittsburgh is the most
eligible anti central place for it to assemble.
'The modes of 11CC1139 to this city, ;ire more
easy from all portions of the Union, than
they are to any ether spoken of. The Ohio
and Mississippi rivers would be an easy
avenue to delegates from the West, South
and Southwest, Our Canal and railroad to
Philadelphia would accommodate the East,
and thel'Erie Division of our Canal would
afford facilities to delegates from the North
and Northwest.
It has been suggested that the old Hero
of the Hermitage might be induced to attend
the Convention and give dignity to the rm•
onion, if his health permitted, and the place
se meeting were easily reached. The lo
,cation of our city is the only practicable
one for the Convention that his feeble con
dition would allow him to visit. He could
make the journey from Nashville hither
without quitting the steamboat on which he
first embarked.
It Will be readily perceived that Pitts
burgh presents unsurpassed inducements as
a location for the Convention, and we trust
the Democratic members from Pennsylva
nia will use their best endeavors to have it
meet in our smoky city.
change for the better.—A western
editor says, that within the last few years
"be has travelled considerably on the Mi -
eistippi river, and has taken occasion to
observe the moral bearing of passengers
on stee.mboats. During that time, there
hes been a great falling off in drinking and
gambling- This is partly attributable to
that economy which universal hard times
inculcbte in the minds of the people in the
South, as well as North, and it is partly
the result of the mighty temperance refur•
daation, which commenced with the Wash•
i iDgtoniaus about two years ago"

teptesentatives of Texas have introduced
a resolution to inquire into the expediency
at establishing a Sabbath or a day of rest.

lispristittnoent for Debt.
Tho following remarks of the Pa. Repor
'ter, on the efforts that a few heartless Shy•
llocks are making to have the law abolishing
imprisonment for debt repealed, will meet
with the approbation of every right think--
ing man in the community.
IMPRISONMENT FOR DEB —We have been
surprised at the number of petitions pre-
sented to the House from various parts of
the commonwealth praying for the repeal
of the law abolishing imprisonment for
debt! en men who sign such petitions be
rational, thinking, reflecting members of
society? no they know what they are as
bout, when they put their names to such
petitions?
Until the last session of our legisla tire,
the law authorising imprisonment for debt
had been a disgrace to our statute books!--
By the exertions of some liberal minded
members, the question of its repeal was a.
gitated —a bill to that effect was introduced,
and eventually passed both Houses, with
but little opposition. Its repeal was hailed
with joy throughout our whole state! The
prison doors were thrown open, and those
who had been imu ured like felons inhaling
the damp vapors of a dungeon, and whose
only crime had been that they were poor,
were set at liberty, ar.d again breathed the
pure air of heaven!
There is at this time prevailing through
out the commonwealth a general stagnation
of business.—The rnechan is is out of em
ploy—the farmer finds no market for the
produce of his farm—every thing he has
growed is reduced to prices ruinously low.
He can scarcely realise enough to supply
the wants of his family, much less to pay
his debts! The wealthy merchant and
banker, who cannot feel for the wants of
others, alone are beyond the reach of the
universal embarrassments of the times!—
They, doubtless, are ready to gnash toeir
teeth with vexation, because the poor debt.
or is by law placed beyond their relentless
grasp. They, doubtless, are those who
have sent in these petitions for the abolish
ment of imprisonment for debt!
The judiciary commute should not only
report against the prayer of the petitioners,
but they should rebuke the mercenary and
unchristian spirit by which they are influ
enced.
Another Elopement In New fork.
The New York Herald relates the fol
lowing particulars of another extraordinary
elopement in that city:
Some twelve months ago, a Mr. Charles
F. Miller, of this city, was married to the
daughter of Lyman Wells, Esq., a wealthy
gentleman, residing at Yonkers, Westches•
ter county, by which marriage Mr. Miller
became possessed in right of a large fortune,
to the envy of all nice young men about
town. In a short time the feelings of the
young wife were seduced from her hus
band, and she induced to leave him and res
turn to her relatives. The husband en•
deavored by force to regain possession of
his wife, a quarrel ensued, and the husband
was defeated. flogged and bound over iu
86,000 to keep the peace.
Well, Mr.-Miller was a man of too much
spirit to stay defeated and unrevenged, an d
he, on Tuesday afternoon, procured of Dis
brow, of the Vauxhaul Riding School, one
of his fastest teams, and drove to Stamford ,
Ct., where he learned his wife was 'AM p
ping. He galled at Seely's tavern to get
some refreshments. lie was somewhat
surprised, however, to learn that the object
of his search was under the same roof with
himselL ic He had his team arranged in read
iness at the door, and then went into the
room where his wife was sitting, and see
ing him, she became alarmed and scream.

Mr, Miller, without more ado, seized her
in his arms and rushed towards the door
He was interupted in hie flight by the bar
keeper. whom he prostrated with a blow,
and safely lodged his charge in the carrri
age, and ordered the driver to speed to town,
For a time she struggled to escape, hut be
fore reaching the city she became recon
ciled, and consented to re-unite her fate
with her liege lord, and render to him due
obedience. In one hour and thinly min,.
Wes the parties were in safe concealment in
this city. In one hour aster, the brother of
Mrs. Miller, accompanied by an officer,
reached town, and, procuring the aid of our
cammenced searching for the sup
posed fugitives. Search, lavvever, was in
aain, for yesterday morning they were safe
ly embarked on board a vessel, and are now
before a spanking breeze, wending their
way to the sunny climes of the West
Indies, The above were all the facts
we were able to procure in the brief time
allowed us, and from the very respectable
source whence we obtained our information
we believe it may be depended on as sub-•
santially correct.
Trade with China.—lt is estimated that
the quantity of Missouri Lead shipped to
China in 1842 was valued at $250,000 and
upwards. The whole quantity of Lead
produced in the United States is about
500,000 pigs, and China rakes one-fifth of
the whole. The article of Ginseng also, a
product of our Western States, is shipped
largely to China, and the value, within the
last twelve or fifteen months, amounts to
upwards of a million of dollars.

Serious Recvntre.— A Cumberlrnd,,M.d.
correspondent of the Baltimore Patriot
says:—"l regret to advise you that for
some time past a difference has existed be.
tween Messrs. Henry R. Atkinson (of the
forwarding house of Atkinson 4. Temple
ton,) and John Swan, both citizens of this
town, which last night led to the use of
deadly weapons in a recontre, in which Mr.
S. was seriously injured, Without going
into detail, it appears that Mr. S. accom
panied his younger brother to Searight's
Hotel, where Mr. A. was a hoarder, to
request satisfaction fursome offence. Al
ter a conversation, Mr. A. got to blows
with the younger S., and then with Juhn,
and after a tunning fight of four or five
minutes, Mr. S. was found to be wounded
in the region of the longs. Physicians
were called in, *ho pronounced his situa—
tion a dangerous one, and of course Mr.
A.,—who remained on the spot and peace-
ably surrendered himself this morning—
was taken before an examining court, and
after a sitting of three or four hours was
held to bail with two re,;ognizances of $l,-.
500.'
Daring Attempt at liighw•ay Robbery and
On Saturday evening, says the Spirit of
the Times, about twilight, Mr. William
Slater, saw manufacturer, of Slatersville
Woollen Factory. Penny pack Creek, was
passing the brick yards on his way home,
in a one horse wagon, at the extremety of
north Second straet, when two footpads
came.out of a clump of trees on Charles
Norris's estate—one seized the bridle of
the horse, and the other presented a pis—
tol at Mr. S. desiring him to 'deliver.' Mr.
Slater repliel, 'deliver whatr which was
no sooner uttered, than the pistol was dis'
charged by the robber—the ball striking
Mr. Slater on the side of his jaw bone ,
laying bare part of his cheek. The horse
being a powerful one, and ,becoming a
larmed at the discharge, dashed the fore•
most man to the ground, and went off at ,
full speed, thereby saving his master's
life. Mr. S. recollected nothing after the
discharge of the pistol for some time; he
finally however revived, but was nearly
exhausted from bw.norrage, and was in
excruciating pain. When he recovered,
his horse was standing still in the road,
and he in the bottom of the wagon Mr.
S. was compelled from loss of blood, to
stay all night at Wence's tavern, four miles
from town, and on Sunday morning was

Rumors from 'Texas.—Mobile papers
of the 21st ult. contains rumors, said to
have been brought by a passenger direct
from Texas, vii New Orleans, that the
whole force of G neral
(am unting to about seven hundred tnen,)
had been surrounded and made prisoners
by the Mexicans. It is also sta'ed that
the news had thrown the citizens into con
fusion, and' also that General Houston had
been assassinated. This statement is
doubted.

and twenty pipes of nine, bound for this
port, grounded on the English Bank, on
the 16th inst., at 3 A. M., and became a
complete wreck. A few articles were sa
ved by launches sent down from ibis
place, but. I fear not sufficient to meet the
expenses, consequently the brig and cargo
may be considered a total Fiss.
Much credit is due to Commander:Wit ,
snn and the officers of the United -fkates
schooner Enterprize, fur their exertirinsa
r.ach the wreck, having had a head *AO
to contend against. On their arrival- :lit
the wreck they found her without boa*
and ful of water. They took off the Cap
tain and five own, who are indebted milli
extraordinary exe:tions made by the
cers for the preservation of their Ryes.*
The chief ,mate and a part of the . cmv
abandoned the wiecli in the long boat-, peer
to the arrival of the Enterprize,and arrivinl
safely in this harbor.
