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.. He ill still in prison.
13ANsc or Irtainaia..—At a meeting of the stock
itoiders of this institution in the city of Richmond on
the Bth inst., it was decided to mernorel it() the Legisla
ture to authorize the withdrawal of its &ranches in Nor
folk and Danville. The vote on the question of the
ihinrfulit brtench was 7 in favor, .to 5 in the negative.
Snow AND Cot.D.—The folks at the north are be
ginning to complain, at last, of the cold._ At Thomas
ton, Me.; forthree days previous to the 3lstult, there
had been constant snow storms,and theanow laid three
feet deep on a level. It was snowing. again at Bi•lfust

.Pesolve , l, That entertaining these views of public
fneasureA, wo - rnoit cordially co-operate with our sister
stale of New York in preeentine to the nation her fa
vorite son, MARTIN VAN BUREN. as the choice
of the democracy of Michig,an fot the next Presidency;
as Q citizen, pure in private life, whose whole public
career as a statesman is identified with the principles
we-profess, and who, in his elevated administration of
the Government from 1837 to 1841, evinced talents of
the,highest order, an integrity unapproachable by cor
ruption, a wisdom that looked alone to the public good,
a-firmness =awed by the rage of faction, and =equa
nimity-undisturbed by the most reckless calumny that
ever before assailed , a-faithful public servant.
A FALSEHOOD SET AT REST.—The Philadelphia

,'We are happy to hear that the ran Enten'Execntive

considerable demand for the notes of broken bani.s,
particularly this State Bank of Illinois, and the Bank

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.

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:

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.

GESTLEMEN
• The ettetteftfee 'en '• Claims and Accounts" leg
leave most respectfully to report— •
"That in discharge of the duties assigned to them,
they have carefully examined and investigated the ac
counts of all the Ciry Officers fur the yeat 1843, and
have made oat an amain' foreach, showitig, the Debts '
and Credits, whielove herewith lay before your honor
able bodies, and refer you to the same fur more full
and complete information than can ba communicated
in a brief report.
The Treasurer's account pfeserttstt condensed state
ment of the receipts and disbursements of moneys of
the City during the past year. By a reference to the
Treasurer's account. and the accompanying documenta,
it will be perceived that the Receipts from Market
!louses, from Land. Grovel. and Wood. and from sev
eral other sources, during the year 1843, exceed the
receipts front the same sources for 1842 to a very CO9-
siderable . amount. This gratifying Telt your Com
mittee ascribe as well to the better system adopted
during the past year, of conducting the city business
and accounts, and the energy and efficiency of her Offi
'
cers as to the indreaso and prosperisy or our happy
and flourishing City.
Your Committee Would call the attention of Councils
to the fact That there Still remains due and unpaid by
Collectors of City Taxes the sum of Seven thbusand ,
Nine hundred and Seventy dollars and Eighty-nine
Cents, on Duplicates for 1843, subject only to deduc
tions for lo't Taxes and Commissions, which estimated,
say at $970 89-100, wou l d still leave the large sum of
Seven thousand dollars due the Ci..y on Duplicates for
1843 The Duplicates for the four Wards of the City
fur 1843, amount in all to $9158 59-100, on which
there has been paid up to the present date, (January
Ist, 1844,) only $llB7 70-100,1eaviqgas above stated,
the sum of $7970 59-100 due, (subject to deductions
as before stated. 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.) In balancing the soy •ral accounts of
City Office's, your Committee have credited each offi
cer with his salary up to the expiration of the year for
which he was elected.
