SNIDER
Harrisourgh, March. 20, 1846
Mr Piolett sad the Post.
We clip the following hum a Harrishorgh letter
which appeared in the "DaIV Dispatch" of Saturday
morning:
We• have lust one vote on the bill, by the impru
dent attack of the Post on Mr PIOLKTT, and in fact
theJstier gentleman is a very clever fellow. I think
the Post must labor under s mistake."
The article above referred to as having given of
fence to Mr Ptoter-r, was published during the ab
sence of the editor at Harrisburgh, and of which he
had no knowledg. aha,evcr wail his return home.—
We are assured, however, by the writer of the article
that it was not designed as anettack upon Mr Piolett.
The article itself will show, too, that whilst regret is
expressed as to the manner in which the matter was
disclosed, his conduct, in every tither respect, is spcs
ken of as highly commendilde. That the writer did
not intend to assail Mr Piulett, ise think. it very evi.
dent from the fact that in an editorial article, referring
to the same matter, which appeared a day or two be
fore, he expressed himself as folios. R:
Igr "A Bonk Borer in Trouble.—lt trill be
seen, by the letter of out Ifirrisburgh correspondent,
that one Daniel M'Cook, an active, but disinterested
friend of a dilapidated banking concern in Lehigh
county, has got himself into rather an ugly scrape by
offering to bribe Mr. PIULLET, a member of the
House, to vote against repealing the charter of the
Lehigh county bank. We like the prompt and deci•
dad course of Mr P. in this matter—it gives the strimg•
est evidence of his own incorruptibility as a legisla
.tor, and also indicates that the whole system of bank
bribery has exploded at Harrisburgh, ■nd timbering
for bank charters has been voted a bore by the mem
lwrs—and will be ruled out in future as an unfashion
able if tart a reprehensible thing." ,&j

tern I'enn.visania, and that we have never Jodie.] nor
advocated it NV it limit a wish to hutch tow anis Phil
, nrielphia. mai that the charge of preferring, a con
nexion with Baitimot e, over that vs itlichr sister city in
nlandernun and untrue.
Resolved, That the oppo,itien of Philadelphia to
this right in a miserublespricimentif ttarroo and selfish
pulley more fitted for the island of inpon or the Hong
merchants of China Utah for the enlightened citizens
of any port otitis Colon.
Resolo•d, That the said railroad must early and in
r•vitnbly rt orb the Ohio. and if not here, then below us
—forced beyond us by our Philadelphia opponeet•—
w ho cannot have the poor consolation that in destroy
iog us they are benefiting themselves.
Resolved, That our sy mpathies htasn• been with and
our tendencies towards Philadelphia and this fact is
well known to many there w ho exert their influence to
defeat our plans and compel t:m Baltim•ae company
from its in favor of work • in which they hold stuck us
to create a pike for worthless Virginia lands.
Rcsotred, That the Central railroad proposed by
oar opponents will require un expenditure beyond the
tiberatity even of the capitalists of Philadelphia. and
that we regard it as only a pretext to defeat the right
or way.
Resolved. That nor friends of Philadelphia agreeing
with is, w hose timidity prevents a public declaration
of their sentiments, excite our sat prise, because their
open avowal of sympathy is doe to us and the shrewd
est regard of their own best pecunia l y interest.
Resolved, That the law of 1&28, in nor statute
books, is a pledge of Pennsylvania in gond faith to the
Railroad Company that they should be enabled to
reorh the Ohio by our route—in confidence wherrol
they have spent millions—and that the petty a o lvan•
'age attempted to be taken of the lapse of time, is
more fitted to the captious disposition of pettifoggers,
than the spirit of - Brotherly Love."
Resolved. Th it while we regret the pitiful but bit
ter pertinacity of the Philadelphia representation. (ex
cepting okays the nulii!e and expanded Gibbons.) we
tender to him. and all friendly representatives, our
conlial thanks for their able and unfaltering support
of our rights—which in the end we &redetermined to

per4ons were chosen officers of the meeting: Press
lent, litho Geahart; Vice Presidents, H S Cassie'.
John Tassey. A Penniman; Secietaries, It A Camp
bell and John Fleming
; The following resolutions w •re introduced by the
committee, John Tassey, Nixon, A Belshatn. Wm Mc.
Shinn, John Morrison and Wm Eat or, and unani•
motisly adopted:
Ilseulved, That Pittsburgh, by its peculiar location
at the confluence of a number of imp , riant naviga
ble streams,) by which the greater part of the western
slope of the Allegheny mountains in the State of Penn
sylvania is drained, and thrown together in one gland
canal, called the Ohio river,) indicates that she is by
nature entitled to the advantages connected with the
terminus of any Railroad or canal, which connects
Baltimore or Philadelphia with the western country. ' ,
Resolved, That Philadelphia is as deeply interested
in the termination of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
at Pittsburgh, as the city of Pittsburgh itself can be;
becausa it thereby secures a certain proportion of the
western trade. whirl, must otherwise be entirely diver
ted from it—if the Railroad is permitted to terminate
either at or below Wheeling.
Resolved, That in the opinion oCtitia meeting, the
Cumberland Valley Railroad, (until it intenects the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad at the head waters of
Wills' Creek, or any other point in Pennsylvania suit
able,) will answer every purpose of the proposed central
Railroad. and will be less liable to objections, from any
supposed injury it might be supposed to effect in re
spect to the Public Works.
Resolved, That to attempt to defeat the efforts of
the Boltiroote and Ohio Railroad company to carry
out their project to-completion—or to throw ditli,elties
in their way, when they are so much inclined to share
with Pennsylvania a fair propulsion of the I..Ramage,
and benefits likely to arise from so important a writ k
—is illiberal, unjust and highly reprehensible, fur the
l'hilad;•lphiuns to interpose in a manner so unjustifia-
I ble, to prevent the accomplishment of an object so
desirable.
Resolved, That the course pursed by Philadelphia,
in reference to the Right of VVay, is discreditable to
her citizens, dithonerable to the state of Pennsylvania,
and destructive oldie best interests of Allegheny couo.
ty in ' particular; that it is calculated to inflict upon the
city of Pittsburgh a deep and more lasting injury than
the Great Fire of the 10th of April, 1845; and, if per
sisted in, will forever cover the ties by which these
two important cities have been bound together.
Resolved, That we, the citizens of Allegheny city
and of Allegheny county, pledge ourselves to support
no man, now or hereafter, for any office, who ranks
himself in opposition to the right of way.
Resolved, That the Hon Charles Gibbons, of Phil
adelphia, for his disinterested, firm, decided and honor.
arable course in reference to this subject, is entitled to
our highest approbation. and that his dignified and ,
manly defence cf bimaelf, and the rights cf western I
Pennsylvania, against the sordid and 'elfish views off
a few avaricioun stock and land jobbers, shall ono day,
we trust, be repaid by a suitable reward from a grate.
fill people.
Resolved, That the liberal policy of the state of
New York, towards the city of Boston, deserves the
highest cometylation, and should be held up to public
view as worthy of imitation by all the other cities l
and states of thellnion.

VETO MESSAGE
Gmernor Slunk, on the hill entitled "An act to
incorporate the Managers end Company of the tun
nestogn Steam Mills," in the city of froricaster.
Penn. lvanin.
To the Senate of Penn•ylrnnin:
finart.i.mxs:—The bill entitled an 'Act to incor
porate the Mitnager• and Compam of the Conestoga
Steam dill.,'• in the city of Lancaster. has been pre
sented for my approval. It provides los the int:ottr
ration of the aubscribers to the capital stock of the
company. to the amount of one hundred and thin e
tiemaaltci dollar., which may Fe increased to three
hundred thousand dollars; to be employed in the pile
chase of a site in the county of Lancaater, and the,
enaction of buildings and machinery necessary for the
prosecution of the busittesa of crooking cotton goods,
or good, comp . ..cid partly of cotton, of for blenching,
dying, or minting such or any other grads.
The bill contains provisions for securing a correct
and faithful ationinistrotion of the allnirs of the comps
ny, and it throes around the share holders the usual •
corporeted privileges. by which their property not in
ran - d in the fond, atf the company is exempted from
iditiold the corpot ate funds be at any time in.
std.tottate to the payment of the debts of the company.
The q•estion involved to the corporation of this
company is one of no ordinary importance. It in
aimply this: whether chow. citizens who have been for.
tunnte in the acquisition of manna, 411n11 be authorized
by law to invest a portion of their property in a branch
of business which it regarded as among the moat pri.
Motile, nod in as little liable to change as moat others,
without incurring the liability of paying all their debts
should the inveatment prove to be unfortunate.
/although ihia corporation ia to he located at Lan•
roster the question presented by the bill cannot be re
garded as a local one. On the contrary, it involetis in
its teem. and tendencies, a rtdirall change in the poll
en of the state. If it be right that this lucrative
branch of buninear nhonld be conducted under the pro
leetttm of corporate privileges in ilw countyof Lances•
ter, then it it tight that it should be so conducted in
every other county. Hence. the 'Hewlett ation of this
company present. a general queetion in which the
whole people of the Cotrunonwealth are interested.
The employment, Ebel occupy the iudu•tiy and tal
ents of our citizena are plincopally agricultural, nom•
mercial. manufacturing and mechanical; suerees in
all of which, with acci,icntal exceptions, depends
upon the skill and industry of those alto engage in
them. Eager. economical and vigorous men embark
in them, stimulated by commpet !lion, yet admonish
el and guarded agninat too amine adventure by a con
viction of the hazanit that attend it. It is this gen.
croon anal regulated enterprise, and the
intelligent thrift w lorli looks to more remote, but also
mote c•t-tvin have so signally advanced
, n'r pro,prrity a nit. nations. It i 4 riot by looking
let aperial legtolation for in ivileges which urn denied
t o other.. nor by repotting on the skill, or fidelity, or
energy of r , nporrve agruta , but by n j•ut and manly
orlf erliance, that men secure their own progress, and
the w•-II being of the State. It is thin elide' the
env-than ship of np, el lawn, which conducts mimeo.
tully the great buainels concerns of our country--de.
valor... it. rensturces, and dtfluttea huppiness among
the people.
This i• the natural state of things, or more properly
speaking, it is the order of Providence. It has ex
tended our c immerce to the utmost bounds of ilio
habitable world; it has ripened our mines, and estab
ed lair factories; it has built up our cities and tow no.
and filled them with abundance of comfort, it has im
proved nor country rind furnished nil the necessaries
and cons eniences of life for curoelves, and a large ex•
eras fur expo ratio,: it has erected OM left plea of re.
ligion, our seminaries of learning—establi•hed our
common schools, arid made us a great people. Thu.
we have advanced and are advancing by a system of
natural and simple policy. which opening every ave
nue of business to all who have skill and strength and
means to enter upon it, emparraares industry by no
artificial regulations, but secures to every men Iris
earnings, by holding every marl liable to the extant of
all his debts.
%Vb . ) , should thin system he changed? In it because
the accumulated wealth of our citizens has become too
timoroun to accept investments for profit unless dives
ted of their attending peril.? What right have they.
whose property wan arvired in the vigor arid con 6
delve of earlier life, to ask that the ammo eqnal laws
which favored their advanremeat, shall be denied to
those who have come after them. Why should they
seek to abstract from general competition an import
ant and lucrative branch of iodtstry. and devote it as a
privileged invent ment to the ones of corporate wealth?
The adoption of such a sy-anm might gratify an over
weening anxiety to increase and perpetuate individual
wraith but it wankd necessarily be destructive of that
equality which, placing no special protection around
ono man or set of men, generously leaves open to all an
equal chance in the grearbusincnn of life, free as the ail
they brew he.
The tendency of s uch a system would be gradually
and permandy to change the most favored and long es
tablished policy of the State. If the merchants and
manufacturers, the mechanics and the agriculturists,
who lane been fortunate in their respective pursuits,
are encourage by this change, when their day of enter.
prize and exertion is past, and when the caution of
rige is advancing upon them, to aggregate convenient
portions of their wealth under special privileges,
and place it in the care of dependent, to control busi
ness, for the management of which they feel them
selves to be individually inadequate, then corporate
wealth will in due time, rule the Commonwealth.
By the adoption of this system a great portion of
the wealth of the Country will be placed under the
protecting shield of coromte privileges, and there it
will remain concentrated and perpetuated. It is true
that the death of share solders and other causes will
from time to time throw their interest in the market;
but it is one of the most certain results of a system of
monopoly, that the circle of those who share its advan
tages is constantly becoming less. until at last all are
excluded, except those who possess the amplest means
to retain it permanently. Our admirable system of
of distribution under the intestate laws will thus, to a I
certain extent, be frustrated. Now, all the property
with the Commonwealth is by the laws of nature and
the laws of the land, from time to time divided and
put into circulation.
The largest accumidniions, by the most fortunate
men, yield to the resistless influence of our system 01
distribution; and in every revolution that occurs, the
indutrious and skilful secure their full shore, not as
dependants upon corporation., but as independent free.
men, until death, accident or extravagance changes the
ownership. It is this just and natural order of things
which excites to exertion, animates hope and strength
ens confidence. The plaa.ible fallacy has been some
times advanced, that with corporate privileges, men of
limited means, by aggregating them, may; enter into
successful competition in extensive business with the
wealthy.
This fallacy has bad its day of success in the es
tablishment of banks. But huts long has the stock
of any of these institutians, which have been measur
ably successful, been diffused among the people to
any extent!. Only until there was time to dispel this
fallacy by demonstrating that the money lenders in a
community are necessarily few, in comparison with
the whole number of people. It is a general truth' '
that 'money lenders.betome the holders of the stock
yielding profits in banks and otbet corporations.
This results from causes as natural and unvarying a,
they are resistless. No man of moderate means with
any vigor can be found who cannot and who does not
by his industry and Skill make a larger profit on his
capital, than he can receive by putting in the hands
of managers and agents. This proposition is ccn
elusively sustained•by the progress and the closing
scenes atlantic corporations, as well as by the gene
ral prosperity of individuals who bare taken care of
their own property.
But there are, in my opinion, other serious ohjec
tiuna to the system proposed by this bill. Aggregate
corporate wealth employed in any branch of industry,
which has already engaged the enterprise and capital
of individuals, either is or is tint mule advantageous
anti profitable, thsn individual investmenti devoted to
the same object. If it is not more profitable, then it
is made so by special privileges,confetred by the Guy
ernment on some—and denied to others; a principle,
which finds no sanction in the universal opinion of tine
people of this State, and is repugnant to the (Airmen
tal law, that all men have un equal right of erci•iiiing,
possessing and protecting properly."
Is it alleged that the manufactute of cotton C 30.18
is beyond the teach of individual means. 51.111 and
enterprise, tinder the esistit.g laws? Our history fur-
Medics a conclusive answer. In this Commonwealth,
all the great brunches of industry bane steadily ad
vanced' with the increasing 11011 U lotion. Being I
tinily nn Ughicaltutal State, the art of farming has

MURDER AND EXCITEMENT
We have before ua the Louisville papers containing
an extract Pram a Nashville paper of Sunday last, de
tailing a most singular affair in that city, which hap.
petted the day previous. Judson is commonly called
•'Ned Buntline," and was concerned in publishing in
this city, last year. We quote the extract 'referred
tut
•'Murder.—On yestenlay afternoon, E. Z. C. Jud
son shot and killed Mr. Robert Porterfield, of this city.
A difficulty, of a nature to which we du nut care to
refer, had arisen between the parties, and upon meet
ing 51.111 were exchanged, which resulted as stated
above. Judson was arrested, but the excitment was so
great against him, that when he was taken before Jos.
uee Farris for examination, it became evident that he
would be Immarily dealt with. Some cried 'shoot
him,' others 'hung ' and a brother of the deceas
ed, shot at bin several times—a number of shots were
fired ethos by others and strange to say, he escaped
unhurt-ran utf and hid himself in the City Hotel.—
Hundreds of excited persona collected around the
Hotel; and after searching some time he was found, and
indeavoring to escape, hr fell from the 3d story of the
porch without serious injury. The sheriff' then took
charge of him and conveyed him to prison, the people
now seem willing that the law should take its course.
Mr. J. C. Pentecost was shot in the arm by a stray
bull, and it is astouishing that abets were not wound
ed or killed.—Cittrinirati Commercial. March 19.

Office, No. 21 2 MARKET STREET.
METE Citizens of Pittsburgh continue to be offered
an opportunity to effect insurance upon their prop
erty, by a Domestic Institution, located among them
selves, based upon Domestic Capital, and conducted
by Directors, in whose prudence, integrity and good
faitht.hey can readily ascertain, whether they may
repose that undoubted confidence and security, which
should ever attend en insurance transaction.
To persons whose property has, already, been
damaxed, or destroyed, by Fire or Water, the advan
rage of personally adjusting aloes with an institution,
AT Holt, will be strikingly evident. To those who
suffered by the Great Fire, this particular corporation
needs no-recommendation. The prompt payment of
the whole amount of its Iosses—NEARLY TWO moan.
BED THOOSJAID DoLLARS—.-ii to them a sufficient
gearantee of future security.
It is the part of all prudent men, however fortunate,
to anticipate calamity for the purpose of avoiding its
effects. To such as have hitherto escaped, as well as
to those who have sustained loss, the faoility of pro
tection and indemnity, offered by this institution, will
be the strongest inducement to avoid the reflections
' and regrets which must be experienced by those who
suffer without hope of restitution.
