PITTSBURGH, THURSDAY, JANUARY 113 Mlit-BiI:ACXI,SIIIDGE ' S Puorastrios.—We publish this itufraing theracheme, brought forward by our able end ofarieut representative, temeet the inierest on the state debt and preserve the teputation of the common wealth. We shall have something to say on this mat in a day or two, and must content ourselves fur the present by remarking that it appears to be the only practicable plan that has yet been submitted; and as nano decisive measures must be resorted to, to 'retrieve our credit, we trust that the propositien will be sustain ed by the people,and that petitions will be immediate' ly forwarded, urging its p.tssago upon the Legislature. We are requested to statc, in reply to the com 'ments of the Aurora on Dr E. D. Gazzam's political preferences, that the editors of that paper have 'miss!). pretended lb* sentiments expressed by Dr G. at the •late Van Buten meeting,and misunderstood the motives which induced birrao attend the Democratic celebra tion of the Bth of January. Dr Gazzam has always been free in the exptession of his political principles, and if he had any choice nmotg the present candi dates for the democratic nomination for the Presiden cy he n•ould express his preference freely and atoice. Dr G. does not nor did not presume. to recommend any p.articule course to the BuchanariNen of Pennsylva titt',lMt spoke for himself only; and he now reiterates 'whit before Mr Buchanan's withdrawal he had fre qUently declared, that be will eltfierfully abide by the decision of the National Convention, and give to the nominee of the democratic party an earnest arid sincere support, having full confidence not only in the talents -and political integrity of the several candidates for the - democratic nomination, but abut) in the diacernment and patriotism of the Democratic party. COL. KUM, .07 ALA.BADIA.—Wf I have seen this gen tleman spoken of favorably in connection with the of fice of Vice President. We know of no democrat in .the country who would be likely to receive a warmer or tame harMoniousjsupport than Mr. Kure. In Ala bama, hers.universally esteemed by all parties for his manl3 - course asa politician; and his pure and upright 'condtict as a private citizen,has endeared him to all who know him, Mr. Kin& would be n very popular candi :date, and as he is so well qualified for the office, and so daserving in every oth.?r respect, we would be much gratified to.see him on the ticket, and wyuld feel doubly tannin of success. A HARD Case .—A strange scene was enacted be -bit; idgeParsons, Philadelphia, on Friday last. It appearasbat a young couple (whose names not given) lied bead married and living together three days, when the wife went home to see her parent,. As sho did Detnettin, the husband went after her, but was inform_ ed by harparents that she did not desire Logo with him, ntnithatite could not be pelbli tted to see her. Think ing that she was restrained by them, the hasband got out a writ of habeas corpus. The parents appeared telikt.their, daughter, and in answer to the question by thettitrit, whether she tx•as willing to go back and live 'kith her husband, sbe returned a decided negative, hut would assign no reason for her strange determination, nor for the sudden and unacmmtable dislike which she had evidently taken to him. The writ was dismissed, the court hiving no authority in the matter. A Naw ABOLITION Mu appears, by a letter In the Norfolk Herald of Wednesday last, that the Abel kids:mists of New York, hare bad capt. Powell, of the schooner Empire, arrested on account of returning to Virginia to deliver up two slaves, whom he found se creted on board afterlae had got to sea on his passage to No .V York. Mr Powell had been held to bail in the sum of $l,OOO, to answer to the Charge of false impris onment, of James D Lane, the steward, who secreted the negroe.s on board. Lane was arrested an his re turn to Norfolk, and after having been tried, was sin- Maned to serve out a term of years in the State Peni tentiary, for thefelony of decoying slaves fro - m the .Siese..

BROXIN Ba tt ite.-;:-Gdodditut ' s (Cincinnati) Counter feit Di rector itays, that there are in that city a very considerable demand for the notes of broken bani.s, particularly this State Bank of Illinois, and the Bank of Illinois at Shawneetown,—the former has risen to 63a65 dents, and the latter to 5 on the dollar. We doubt not that every dollar of this money will ultimate ly.be redeemed. The stock ofthe formerbanichrings V. ) .0 per share in New York—and the stockholders re_ ceive nothing until the circulation is absorbed. Some of the raostfinest lands in Illinois have been sold by the State Bank, and payment received in their notes. We do not doubt that fortunes will he made on many of these lands. If the capitalists in New York consulted their own interests, instead of loaning their money at 3 per cent. per annum, they would invest it in funds of such in atitutions as these, which are ultimately good, and which would yield no doubt more than four times the interest which they t•htaiu from their capital. The demand for Illinois bank notes we think will gradually increase, owing tb the falling due of the payment for the lands sold last year. MONEE IN NEW YON.R.—The New York COTIMICr. cial Advertiser of Saturday afternoon ; says: "The money market has agam become more abundant, and the rates are something less than they were a few days since. Any apprelensien which existed in regard to the foreign exchanges niipears now to bare passed away, the demands for bills being moderate while the supply is daily increasing. Tar PoatattoT Trteita'-•.-The 3Ournal - ofCtiCatrierce gities the folloWing account of the Manner in which Lacknot Caine in poiliestion of this notpitrunki "He came passenger in the sati:boat which brctight the trunk, and had with him a hair trunk end a!allik lo skin. When the boat came to the dock, he procu• red a runner to carry his hair b unk to a hotel in Wsh ington street, and on reaching it he quarrelled with the man for demanding two shillings for carryinglihs trunk. He next told the bar keeper that he had forgotten something in the boat, and he went back to it and took the Pomeroy trunk and employed a cab man named Greek, to take it in his cab to the same house in Washington street where he left his hair trunk. When the cab stopped at the door,Lacknor took the trunk and immediately paid the cabman half a dollar and let him go off. Lackner placed the trunk in the hall of the hotel, and went to the bur keeper and asked for his buffalo robe, as it was cold and he wanted to go out.— He was accordingly handed the buffalo robe, which he put on him, and then went into thu hall, and took the Pomeroy trunk, and wrapped the buffalo robe around it and carried it to the house in Rivington st. where he remained all night, and the next day went to the hotel in Washington st., and took his hair trunk: The facts thus detailed Irtve been tYah.le In posses sion (lithe Mayor almost since the robbery was corn , mitted, ?lit no clue could be obtained until yesterd.ty, as to who was the person who actually took the trunk, or where he brought It to. Upwards of $47,000 have been recovered, the great er part or which was found in Lackner's hair trunk. PENNSYLVANIA LEGISLATURE In the House of Representatives 4111 Wednesday, the 10th, Mr Brackenridge, of Allegheny, offered the fol-: lowing preamble and resolutions, which were read and laird on the tablet— Wkere,za The State of Pennsylvania has contracted a debt of $39,084.000 by loans obtained chiefly for the purpose 'of internal improvement, adding to her lands, increased prices; to her mineral and agricultural pro duct* enhanced values, multiplying the opportunities and profits of industry, and greatly enlarging the busi ness and "•ealth of her commercial and manufUctuting cities, thus affording forever, ample remuneration to all hercitizens. in the accession of advantage to the State, notwithstanding the immediate profits of the works to which the money has been applied have not realized previous expectations: And. Whereas, the commonwealth is thus btought.undet the highest obli gation of morals, justice, honor and duty, for value re ceived, to discharge the interest at least of her debt, with punctuality, and speedily brush away the tarnish which her credit and character have sustained through out the civilized world. And, Whereas, The just principles of duty and ob ligation sternly point nut to her citizens. that no matter how grievous and burthensome it may be, the decisive moment has arrived, when they mast, in the first in stance, look to and rely upon their own resources alone as the only sure and safe means of restoration to her lost position, by manfully putting her own shoulders to the wheel. before she can call with effect upon Hercu les for assistance. And, Whereas, Also it must be apparent to all, that neither the sale of our public improvements nor any appeal to the general government, can present any immediate probable hope of timely relief, and present ing as they do to the State creditors, merely the un substantial tribute of hope deferred . , evinces a disposi tion to put off the burthen which justly rests upon our selves, and ought to be relieved from nut owe resour ces, and in the very proposition itself affords new eq. dence to the world of a disposition, which if persisted ia,mustinevitablydestroy whatever remains ofthe char acter ()Nils trtilf great and patriotic commonwealth. Therefore: Resolved, That the committee of Ways and Means be and are hereby instructed to report a bill, at the ear liest and most convenient day, providiug fur the assess ment and.collection of annual revenue not exceeding one ni liiun five Ituncireci thousand dollars, to be pledg ed, together with the surplus receipts of the State im provements.and the other existing, revenues of the com monwealth, for the faithful payment of the interest of the State debt.

In the ccurse of discussion which followed, it was stated that the P 0 committee are unanimous in their int..ution Lc report a bill regulating the postage of let ters. Mr Beardsley argued that it is a questiorr worth con sideratioa, whether it would not be bettor to charge all the free letters in a lump on the Treasury.

In justice to the Collectors, (who are probably as efficient as any others that could be procured,) we will merely state that it is asserted that the Duplicates were put into their possession at a very late period. and it is hoped that the collections will be heavy during the first quarter of the present year, (1844.)
