THE INTEREST BILL PASSED.
14.ftera protracted and animated discussion, the bill
providing for the payment of the February instalment I
of interest an our funded debt, has passed both branch-
es by a unanimous vote. To the public at a distance,
tve , ho have not had the means of surveying the whole
field of debate it may have seemed that some diversity
at opinion existed as to the duty of the State to meet
.her honest eng agements. But nothing can be further
removed from the truth. The only source of contention
has been from the beginning, as to the best mode of se
'curing a permanent resumption of interest payments .
Numerous projects, differing in character, were hence
proposed to the consideration of the Legislature, and
mutually elicited a contrartuy of expression. But we
will do all the justice to say, that the only ground o f
difference has been, what measures would best secure
the end whichever) , true friend of Pennsylvania cannot
but cherish as a "consummation devoutly to be wish
ecr—siz the permanent restoration of her plighted
The Legislature, it r% ill be perceived has et length
decided to apply the full resources of the Treasury to
the liquidation of the instalment of interest Now DUE,
leaving prospective demands to be met by in—
creased energy and perseverance. We hail this !
au a most sound, patriotic and equitable decision.
It
reflects infinite credits upon our ancient commonwealth
And proves to the world that repudiation, even in its
mildest sense. has gained no foothold here. NVe now
possess the means to make at least a bold commence
ment in the great work of extending justice to our
voreditors, and we have afforded incontrovertible proof
that we are not disgraced by a lack of will. The tax
payers of the State have long and patiently submitted
to the most oppressive burthens. They have poured
:their su b s tance lavishly as water into the public cof
fers. They have hitherto complained, that these ex
-stations have not been applied to the purposes for
which they were la , tensibly collected. Such corn
-plaints, we are gratified to state, must henceforth for
ever cease. The bill just passed by the unanimous
vote of both houses, and the prompt concurrence of i
the State Executive, affords convincing testimony to
-our own citizens, that the tribute annually exacted
from their earnings, is sure to meet with a just and
honest destiny. I:assures them, more than any other
act could have done, that it is neither squandered in
works of questionable utility. nor diverted to channels
of expenditure fereign to their own sovereign purpose.
To our Enrepean creditors, the Sydney Smiths and
London Punches, who have levelled their paper bat
wing* at us from beyond the Atlantic, it will chew,
that they neither understand nor appreciate the char
acter of our people.
Whilst we claim no peculiar cre.lit for an honest
performance of duty, we advert to our past course en
this vital measure with reclines of sincere satisfaction,
In oar paper of December 25, we unqualifiedly as
serted the entire ability of the State to liquidate the
February interest in full, and demonstrated our posi
tion by an array of figures which "could not lie." We
then predicted. "that the day of deliverance from the
"plague spot of repudiation was near at hand, and
-"that henceforward oo man would dare take upon his
"tongue the scandal that Pennsylvania was either in
"solvent or dishonest." In the "Union" of January
25. we reiterated the same assurances, and said :
"The prompt liquidation of the February instal
ment of interest, will conduce more than any other
-"event to this consummation, and will be hailed with
"honest joy by every friend of the State. These de
ductious, .11:tended as they were upon incontrovertible
data, are now sustained by the unanimous action of the
'Legislature and the Executive, and we refer to them
with the liveliest emotions.
*Our good old commonwealth has now, in a word,
'firmly and resolutely encountered present difficulties.
The prevalence of a similar spirit in future, cannot
fail to raise our plighted faith, now and forever, to its
ancient proud position. It can now no longer be im
puted to us, as a people, that we are feeding our hon.
-esteireditors upon stones, when we have promised them
bread—that our only return fur their generous confi
dence consists in empty and unmeaning promises. The
great work of yesterday coupled with continued perse
verance and fidelity, will forever expunge from Penn
sylvania's escutcheon the foul blot of repudiation, and
will restore her to that lofty eminence so beautifully ex
emplified by her motto: "Virtue, Liberty and Indepen
dence."

'FITTSBURGFI, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 4.
BtsuoP ON D ERDONC — The Caillet of this prelate has I
occupied a large share of public attention fur some
time past, and, now that the report of the trial has op- •
peered, we suppose that conversation upon the whole
subject will be increased. Notwithstanding the nature
of the details, the book will be read and people will
make up and express their opinion of the guilt or inno
cence of the Bishop and of the character of his sen
tence, from their impressions of the testimony given
before the tribunal which passed judgment on the case.
We have no wish to start a controversy on this matter,
but in common with others will take the liberty of sta
ting our own impressions of the case, derived from the
reading of the substance of the Report. Without go
ing into details, the recital of which would be useless,
iwe will simply express the opinion that we are surpri
sed that any man, much less one whose character has
stood so fair as that of Bishop Onderdonk ,could be
convicted on the evidence recited in the Report. It is
trimly very confused, contradictory, and inconsist
ent; and one would think that the most uncharitable of
those who sat in judgment on the accused would feel o
bliged to give him the benefit of the doubts to which the
nature of the testimony was certainly calculated to give
We shall nut dwell on the glaring discrepancies
in the evidence of persons testifying in regard to
the seine fact—or of the singular forgetfulness of some
of the witnesses, who could not remember facts that
might be of advantage to the accused. It strikes us
as strange, however, that one of the witnesses should
consent to receive ordination at the hands of a man
whn, the evening before the ceremony, had grossly in
sulted his wife—it seems strange that that wife, who
alleges that she left the side of the Bishop because of
his rudenesss, should not remember whether she
went back to sit with him after the insult, and during
the same journey. It is wonderful that a young lady,
who had been insulted by the Bishop, should tell her
sister of her wrong,!irnmediately after it was done, and
send that sister to entertain the insulter— still more
wonderful that that sister should go and entertain
him—and most wonderful of all that he should, three
several times in one afternoon, coms.it acts of rude
ness toward the lady who was entertaining him. All
this is not more wonderful than the fact proven, of
another witness, and her husband, who, after being
grossly insulted by the Bishop, importened him to
come to their house and dine.
But the most unaccountable fact in all this testimo
ny is, that the improprieties of the Bishop were not ac
companied by seductive wot ds, or in fact any kind of
words, so far es we lave read—and all his bad be
havior (except, perhaps on one occasion) is alleged to
have taken place, in company--and when the hus
bands or brothers of the injured ladies were pre
sent. It would seem that carriages were the chosen
vehicles of the Bishop in which to carry on his rude
proceedings. One lady's husband was in the carriage
with her when she says he insulted—that was in
the dusk of the evening—another of the insulted was
in the carriage, with her husband, in day-light, when
abused—while the brothers of a third were present or
in an adjoining hall, and the doors open. when she
suffered from the Bishop's rudeness. As they state
it, the Bishop's conduct was utterly silly and without
motive—for they do not say that hit rudeness, in any
case, was either preceded or followed up by word or
deed which showed that he entertained criminal do-
signs.
Such being the gist of the evidence, we repeat that
we are surpriacd at the Biohap's conviction—to say
the least, there is much room for doubt, of which his
triers should have given him the advantage. And we
are free to say, that we believe Bishop ONDLRDON X to
be entirely innocent, both in dyed and in thought.
[Bishop Ho PIC IN s, of Vermont, formerly of this
city, announces in the N. Y. Protestant Churchman
that he has made arrangements by which he is to be
come a permanent contributor to that paper. The
Protestant Churchman is said by the friends of Bishop
Otr zaDosst to have pursued a course of "open hostil
ity" to that prelate. A correspondent of the N. Ycrk
Mirror appears disposed to class Bishop HoexHis

mong the number of Bishop OR D 1111)01C X's enemies.
PATMP:ST of THE IrTgeest.---The bill which we
publish this morning, for the payment or the interest
of the State debt, will be gratifyininews to every citi
zen who has a sincere feeling for the restoration of the
honor of our ancient commonwealth. Pennsylvania
will be truly redeemed and the stain that has for some
time rested upon her honesty will be wiped off, and
we hope forever.
Many suppose that the present payment can only be
made by draining all the resources of the State, and
although it may now be successful, yet it will leave
the Treasury unable to meet subsequent payments.—
But on looking over the remarks of Col. Bigler, in the
Senate, we find a statement of the receipts and expen
ditures for 1845, which shows that for the future the
State wiil be fully able tl maintain her honor. The

This would enable us to pay one half of our inter
est in August next, after paying in full in February.
By further statements Mr. B. arrived at the conclu
sion that on the lit of August next we would have a
' fund in the Treasury applicable to the payment of in
terest of about $570,000, which would be sufficient
to pay one half of the interest then falling due, and in
investigation of the whole subject he had no hesita
tion in coming to the conclusion that all the interest
falling due in 1846 would be paid in full.
It is thus seen that Pennsylvania is herself again;
as has been truly observed, prosperity is again dawn
ing= her affairs, and we feel assured that the present
administration will devote all its energies to keep her
in her true position ,which site has now acquired.
OLD BERES ALWAYS V tcrontous.—We learn
from the Union that the special election,held is Berks
county, on Wednesday, for a member of the House of
Representatives to supply the vacancy occasioned by'
the death of Mr Hunter, resulted in the election of
HENRY G. SteTtek, Esq., the regularly nominated
Democratic candidate, by about 1000 majority. An
other Domocmt having taken the field as a volunteer,
[ the whigs made a desperate effort to smuggle in their
candidate between our two, but they "reckoned with
out their host." The Democrats of Old Berks are
not often found napping at their posts.
CONSCIKNCE AT WORK.—Tiva whig papers have
been publishing a card signed by a Mr D M Kimball,
expressing his compunction fur having said naughty
things about Mr Clay. Mr K. is- not the only man
that has felt the qualms of conscience, as the follow
ing note from Mr Jones will show:
A Lie Retracted.—Having publicly stated before
the election, that I did not know who James K Polk
was; that I did not know his grandfather to be a tory;
that I did not know he had branded his negroes in the
forehead; and that Great Britain had sent over some
half a million of dollars to aid the Democratic party,
I feel constrained, by the gnawings of my awakened
conscience, to publicly avow, that in these mutters I
"lied deeply, as 1 had often lied before."

TWENTY.EIGOTS CONGRESS.
WA.HLNGTOS, Jan 31, 1845
The Senate did not Flit to-day.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
M. Saunders, from the judiciary committee, repor
ted a bill toestablish a uniform rule of naturalization.
The Ist eietion provides that every alien desirous of)
becoming a citizen shall declare his intention on oath
in a court of record; said declaration to be accompan
ied by • written statement on oath, stating the partic
ular place of birth of the applicant, the time of his ar
rival, and the State in which be has resided since his
a r rival &c.
The 2d section provides that any alien, beings free
white person, who shall have resided in the United
States two years after he has made his declaration of,
intention to become a citizen, who shall have resided
at least five years within the limits of the United States
preceding the time of his application, may be admit
ted as a citizen.
The 3d section provides that any alien, being a mi
nor, under the age of twenty-one, who shall have re
sisted within the limits of the United States two years
next preceding his arrival at the age of twenty-one,
and who shall have continued to reside, therein to the
time be may make application to be a citizen, may,
after he arrives at the age of twenty-one, and after be
shall have resided five years within the limits of the I

be admitted as a citizen.
The 4th section provides, that when any alien who
shall have complied with the specified conditions, may

shall be entitled to all the privileges of such on making
renunciation and taking the required oaths. And the!
children of all such persons as may be naturalized and
become citizens, being under the age of 21 at the time
of their parents being so naturalized and admitted to
the rights of a citizen, shall, if dwelling in the U. States,
be considered as citizens. And children who may
have been, or who may be born out of the limits of the
United States, of any free white citizen thereof tem
porarily abroad for any purpose of business or travel,
without renunciation of his citizenship or allegiance to
the United States, shall be deemed to be native citi
zens of the United States.
The 7th section provides, that any person who shall
by fraud attempt to procure his certificate of naturali
zation, shall be punished by a fine not exceeding $l,-
000, or by imprisonment not exceeding six months,
or by both. Any person aiding in such fraudulent
transaction is liable also to fine and imprisonment.
The Senate did not sit to-day.
The House, at an early hour, resolved itself into a
Committee of the Whole on the state of the Union-1
Mr. Weller of Ohio in the chair—and resumed the 1
con
sideration of the bill establishing a territorial gevern
ment in Oregon. Messrs. Winthrop and F. H. Morse
opposed the bill, and Messrs. S. Cary, Hardin, and A.
Kennedy supported it. At two o'clook, the commit
tee proceeded to vote on the pending amendments,
several of which were agreed to; among which was a
proviso requesting the President to give to the Bri
tish government the twelve months' notice required
by the treaty of 1818, of the termination of the joint
occupancy of theeountry. The committee rose, and
reported the bill to the House; and, the previous ques
tion being moved and seconded, the Hou
be, se adjourned.
"(Ho Feb. 1.
THE POST OFFICE BILL..
Tt will be seen that this important Bill has; for the
present. been passed by informally in the Senate. The
True Sun gives the following as the data upon-which
it was based.
The sum estimated as requisite for carrying on the
P. 0. Department is four and a half millions.
In 1837, before private mails were established and
other disturbing causes existed, there were more than
29,000,000 chargeable letters passed through the mail,
and if those causes did not now exist, and if a fair
estimate is made fur the increased correspondence
Once that period, we ought now to have 42,000,000
chargeable letters passing through the mail.
The bill proposes but two rates of postage—five
and ten cents—and a reasonable allowance of twenty
per cent for theincreased correspondence arising from
reduction in the rates of postage gives 8,500,000
more: in all apwards of 51.000,000 of letters, produc
ing, at an average of the postage—seven and a half
cente—s3,B3 o , 6o3 .
Add to this the postage of five cents on "drop" let
ters, we have $50,000. Add what will be derived
Craw postage on government letters, $127,255. Add
the probable estimate for what will be gained by cor
recting abuses in the frankingprivilege, we get $125,-
000 more.
Then add the postage on newspapers, pamphlets,
drts., nem giving more than $500,000, thee yielding
more than s3oo,ooo—and you get a sum total of $4,-
499,568—within a trifie of the amount estimated as
necessary for carryingon the Department.
