Why not take up the bill providing for the
reduction of salaries of all officers
• After further debate, Messrs. Wise and
Arnold simultaneously moved to recommit
the bill, with instructions to report - a bill
fur reducing the salaries of all officers of
the Government, including those of mem
bers of Congress. These motions did not
prevail.
The hill was then atnended so ss to re
duce the salary of the commissioner to
$1.500.
M. Ward protested against this reduc
tion, sod recounted the high and responsi•
tile duties devolving upon the commlssion
er. Among other matters, he stated that
at least a million of money passes through
the hands of the commissioner annually,
for the disbursement of which he receives
nothing. Yet it was proposed to reduce
the salary to $l5OO. Why the Postmaster
of the Capitol, who was employed but six
months out of the year, received that. And
another person, Wil( ) merely bud to sit all
day long in the Rotunda, had also $l5OO.
The debate terminated in tho passage
of the bill, with the amendment, cutting
down the salary from $3,000 to $1,500.
On motion of Mr. Filltnore, the House
then resolved itself into a committee of the
whole on the state of the Union.
Mr. Arnold moved to take up the bill
fur redu.•ing the pay of members. He
said it was one of the most important bills
of the session. The motion failed, having
vary few supporters.
Mr. Wise moved to take up the Exche
quer bill. Negatived.
The committee then resumed the con
sideration of the Navy appropriation bill
from Saturday.
The question pending was on the pro
pteed amendment of Mr. Merriwether, to
reduce the salaries of all naval officers 20
per cent.
Mr. Proffit was entitled to the floor, but
be not being present, Mr. Cave Johnson
took it. He contended that the pay of of
ficers in 1835 was improperly increased.
As for the contrast which had been drawn
between the pay of our officers and those
of tae British Navy, that was not a proper
test. If it were, then it would hold good
r• regarded the payment of our civil offi
cers; fur all the ministers and other offi
cers of Great Britain, hadsalaries to which
these of our civil officers would bear no
. comparison. Therefore the question was
oot, whether our naval officers receive as
much, as English officers, but whether they
have a sufficient recompense fur the duties
performed. Mr. J. proceeded to argue,
that the pay of lieutenants of the navy is
far greater thaa the pay of a member of
Congresk So far as pay was concerned,
a member would be a great gainer by
~exc
hanging places with a lieutenant. lie
hoped the House would bring down all the
salaries to what they were prior to 1835.
,Mr. Fessenden took a different view.
He thought the pay of our officers was
none too high. They were compelled to
.-, live as gentlemen, and were necessarily
9.
obliged to reside in cities in order to be
near the offices. Hence notwithstanding
all that -had been said about extravagant
pay, none of them could save any thing.
The debate was continued by Messrs.
Gordon, Cooper, and Arnold, after which,
without taking the question, the commit
t _tee ant reported progress.

Illinois Bank
The following letter to a friend in this
•.city may ho of interest to many f our
read ers:— Ohio Statesmen.
SPRINGFIELD, 1;1... Jan. 26, 1.843.
DEAR SlR:—Oar Legislature, at its
present session, has passed a law relative
:to the State Bank of Illinois, requiring that
`institution to wind up its business in four
`years. The bill holders can present their,
bills and receive their proportionate share
ofspeciP, and for the unsatisfied part of
their bills they will receive certificates
which will be good in the payment of
"debts due the bank, and in the purchase of
the land of the bank.
It is supposed that the bank will pay
something like 30 cents i)n the dollor in
specie. Therefore, if $lOO in bii'a are
presented, the owner of the bills will te•
ceive $3O in specie and $7O in certificates.
If there is any specie on hand at the,ex
piration of twelve months, the certificates
may be again presented for their pro rata
of specie.
The dividend of specie to be paid out
will be determined by comparing the S.
raount of specie on hand with the amount
'of bills in circulation. It is supposed that
many of the bills are lost, and that the spe
cie which would otherwise be drawn by
them, will leave a considerable amount for
1110 dividend of the second year.
Sudgrnents on the bills of the bank can
be obtained, which will be a lien on the
lands of the bank, and those judgments
will draw six per cet.t. interest until they
are liquidated.
In case there bills are presented at the
counter of the bank, and specie demanded
to the full amount of the face of the bills
and refused, the bills will draw ten per
cent. intenest per annum.
There is a large amount of bills on hand
ready to be presented as soon as the act
goes into operati , m, which will be in thir
ty days,
Very respectfully, yours
dirrest of Gansevoort and McKenzie.-

were disposed to incur a little additional
trouble, it would not be necessary for the
mail to be detained more than one day be
tween Harrisburgh and Chambetsbdrgh,
in the worst weather. There is a good

cats could not run, it would be an easy
matter to bring the mail over that portion
of the route in a one horse sleigh.
We think if those who are interested in
this matter, would r• present the facts to

Mr. WVickliff deserves the thanks of the
public at large for the manner in which he
is revising the first doings of the party
that came into power in 1841, and cor
recting the mistakes made by appointing
persons to office without first examining
every applicant by that rod old demo .
cratic rule—"is he honest—is ho capable?"
Under the management of Granger many
mistakes were male by removing g.ind
officers and appointing bud ones, but we
are pleased to observe that Mr. Wickliffe
is correcting these blunders in a'most ev
ery case that is brought to his notice.
• Correction.—A gentleman connected
with the Pioneer Line, informs us that we
did Mr. D. Leech injustice in stating that
he was at the head of the Line; that por—
tion of the Line on which the occurrence
took place to which we refered, is not un
der his control. We make the correction
more cheerfully as we fully agree with
gentleman who informed us of the error,
that this end of the Line has "sins enough
to answer for, without being made respon
sible fur the acts of others."
Sad Death.—A journeyman Printer, be
ing evidently insane, went into the barn
of Capi.Hurnmel last week,in Penn Town-
ship, Union ci)unty, Pa., where men were
engaged in threshing, and threatened to
run himself through the machine. Before
he could be arrested he seized a bundle of
straw and threw himself io. He was
drawn back instantly, but not until his arm
was torn off in shreds to the elbow. His
arm was amputated—he manifesting no
pain, but he died a few days after.

Sec'y pro tern.
[As to the principles of the miscalled
"Workingmen's Party" that was attempted
to be organized this county last fall, we are
unable to give our Tallycavy friends any in
formation. Feeling a warm interest in ev
ery effort of the workingmen to assume that
position in our political affairs to which their
intelligence,worth and numbers entitle them,
we made an early call on the self-conetitu•
ted oracles of the new party, to declare the
principles for which they wished to enlist
the favor of the workingmen of the coun.
ty. But the leaders either could not, or
would not make any disclosures for the pub.
lie eye; they wished to be treatediwi:h a
'generous con fidence;',to obtain power with•
out declaring their princip'es. This effort
at gulling, ended as all such efforts should,
in the defeat of the few schemers who desi
red to organize i party on the policy that
has disappointed all who trusted it in 1840,
and that has spread distress and embarrass.,
ments throughout the land.
If our friends will examine the principles
of the democratic party, we think they will
concede that so long as they exist, and are
carried nut, there is no necessity for a third
party to protect the interests of the produ•
cers, and that in supporting these princi•
plea, the workingmen are sustaining the on
ly policy that acknowledges !bailie:al rights
of every class of citizens. The democrat'
is party has always been the uncomprontis
tog foe of all measures calvalat 41 to give
any porti , m of society ad van ages not enjoy

debted for the defeat of the many aternes
broached by nue ',Atka! opponents to raise
favored cla.ses in our country, and to cor
rupt the republican equality and purity of
our form of government.
Col •posed as it is of the great body of
the workingmen of the countryiind those
who have a just knowledge of theiake and
importance of labor, the dentocratie party
must' ways been the advocate and defender
of principles in which the productive porlion
of society is interested. The rnaintainancie
of those principles is the line of separation
between u 4 and our opponents, and it also
marks the democracy as the true conserva•
tors of the policy on which our government
was established.
We again say, that if our Tally eavy
friend:4 will examine the leading principles
()lithe democratic party, we think they will
be satisfied, that every measure that has
been brought forwai (1 by that party, has
been for the purpose of conferring the
"greatest good on the greatest number," and
to give to honest labor that dignity and im-
portance to which it iti entitled
Affecting.—There is a touch of nature
in the following fact, that must reach eve

the reason that his poor old mother might
never know that it was her son who had suf

I Paine and Voltaire do with the benign

way to account for these discrepancies of
!mind, which speculates theorically on what
1
human nature demands from law, and yet
denies by law itself the very blessings fat
which it has teen struggling for ages. l
The true reason is to be found in the cru
elties of the Bri.isir common and statute
laws, which have been fraudulently enfor-1
ced upon us, and kept over us, until the I
hearts of law makers, judges, and juries,
have been hardened and their minds blend
ed into the singular belief, that this wretch
ed system is the trueaource of public jus.
lice, and political morality. To what
other cause can we ascribe the spectacle
we now witness of efforts made in repeal
a law more benificent, wise and just, than
any our legislature ever passed, -namely to
take away from a citizen, the right to im
prison his neighbor, or to threaten his
neighbor with imprisonment, or personal
arrest, for owing him five dollars or any
larger sum a little longer than is agreeable
to him'{—At his own option to make the
magistrate, and the law, an engine of re
sertment and oppression—to inflict so
great an outrage as imprisonment, when
no crime is 9harged, or proved. and with
out a trial by jury. The constitution pre
tends to protect the citizen from these
things wohout due indictment, andlla trial
by jury. But if the law abolishing irn.
prisonment for debt be repealed,—a credi
tor has as much power as a cram t and jury
has over the personal freedom of th e citi
zen. Under the old law every one- who
could not pay a debt, bad no escape from
the degradation of the insolvent law, or
perpetual imprisonment. To jail he must
go, and there lie, if be was too poor to pay
a debt. His creditor had him at his mer
cy. If' be bad goods, his creditor might
nevertheless prefer to take his body. If
he had no goods his body and soul, were
in a legalense, the pledged chattels from
which the debt was to be squeezed out' by
the screws and pulleys of' the common and
statute laws of England, which the law
yers have smuggled into our free system of
governments. The repeal of this vile
law of imprisonment, is an effort on the
part of the people to reclaim and enjoy the

freedom of the revolution. It should be
