Talcs nml Anecdotes. ,
The last Sunhury Osr-ette soya, we fill no inlc
ret in the success of the democratic party, because
we hnve utilised "tales and anecdotes" just before
the election, and say nothing of the "reign of lorror,"
and "Buckshot war." And yet strange aa it may
appear, Mr. Youngman haa devoted about one half
of hit last pnpei to us. Did lie intend to nply to
the tales or the anecdotes! Was it hi design to
make war upon them, aa L)in Quixotte did upon
the wind-mills t The readers of the Gazstlo have
teen guzzleJ o long wilh pills and politics," that
the editor big ins to think ihry can swallow uothing
else.
The truth is, we can give our Traders as much,
if not more politics than he daes, and have room
enough left for a tale or two, foieign ncw, .See, and
at least score of anocdoies. If he docs not like
tales, we will give him this week an " Irish Story"
to digest. At the some time, we would advise him
to tuke care that his "whig storied" do not prove to
hi in another rope of sand " that some divil may
throw in his eye.

Communication.'
FROM THK MILTON LfcOOKR
The Extra Pay.
Mr. Editor : In your pajier of the 8th inrst.,
2 observed under the editoriul head, some remarks
'with the' caption oMExtra Pay," iu which you
pretend to give the vote upon allowing daily pay
to the members during the recess. Your remarks
appear to be particularly intended to operate to the
prejudice of Charhs W. Hegins, our late member.
You, however, with apparrnt candor aud sincerity,
offer the use of your column to Mr. Hegins, to re
ply to the charges you make against him. Sup
posing that you would extend the same privilege
to his friends, I ahull endeavor to enter into a brief
explanation of an error which you, as well as
other editors have fallen into more perhaps, from
your not having the Journal in your pots, ssion, arid
therefore dependant on other sources for your infor
mation, than from intentional misrepresentation.
The hiw, under which the members reccivid
their pay, gives them daily pay from the lime of
their meeting, until the final adjournment. So that
the daily pay of the members would continue du
ring a temporaiy adjournment, without an action
on the part of the Legislatuie.
The question then was, not whether they would
vote themselves sy.fcr the law already give it to
them, but whether i!iy wottld relinquish that pay
to which they wore vulilled by law. The vote
which you publish, was not up in thut question as I
shall show.
It will be lememlsrrcd, that the Legislature bi
Journrd sine die, on the 16th of April, having failed
to pass the important public bi Is, which the public
interests imperiously required. The Governor
calleJ a special session of the Legislature on the
17lh of April, by proclamation issued the previous
evening in pursuance of which, they met on that
day. The members were all ready to depart to their
homes, and many of them had alieady left Harrit
liurg At soon as they met, a resolution was oiTcr
cd lor a temporary adjournment and an extra sue
si m. That resolution was losi, Mr. Hegins voting
gainst it. After some time spent in ineffectual
attempts made to pass the Mil men ioncd in the
Governor's proclsmaiton, another resolution was in
troduced for an extra session, aud crried, Mr. Ho
gina voting cgt.i-ani it. They met ugaiu ia the
afternoon, after an extra session had been determ
ined upon, when Mr. Drodhoad offered the follow
ing resolution :
" Resolved, That the daily pay f the memlrs
nhall be suspended during the temporary adjourn-tur-nt
of (he Legislature." (Journal, Vol. 1, page
1033.)
To prevent the passage, of this resolution, an ad
journment was moved and carried, aud upon a call
of the yeas and nays, they stood, yeas 30, naya 35,
Mr. Heg'ms aotmg against an adjournment. Jour
nal, page 1084.) Here, upon the thrc.-kdd of the
mailer, we Cud Mr. Hegim not euly voting against
an extra a ssion, but voting against an adj tuumeiil,
which adj lurnmeiit prevent d tho passage of the
above resolution, showing Lis with to reiiuqu sli
the daily pay dating the adjournment.
f)u the 18:b ef May, alter the Legislature had
again met, (Journnj, page 1671,) the Houso re
solved itself into a committee of the whole on the
jtbtve resolution of Mr. Bioadhead. After some
lime aihQt iu the committee, the speaker resumed
the chair, and the chairman repoited irogresa, and
asked leave to sit again. Leave was granted, and
a motion was mule that the committed have leave
to sit sguin on the Fourth of July. This would of
course, defeat the resolution. This motion was
lost, Mr. J leg Ins voting against it, (Jourual, page
1071.) A matin n was then made that ihe commit
tee sit on the SOth of June, (Journal, page 1071.)
This would a!o have defeated the resolution. Mr.
Hegins voteJ against this -loo. The committee waa
then refused leive to sit again, and the resolution
came hi fire the House. Mr. Nill move. I to strike
Utall after the word resolved, and insert iu lieu of
jt, the following, viz: "By lUo Senate cVc. Tht
the members of the legislature shall not receive per
cUem allowance from the a.'j urnm-ut on the 17th
tf Apiil last, until the 12th of May 1810, nor shall
they receive mil. age allowance for going to Hani
burg aud returning to their se.al plueis of aboje."
...mi.iVT
IfJJ'J'l J.'L'J'.'
On tliis motion, the yeas and nays were called,
yeas 69, naya IB. Mr. Hegins voting for it, (Jour
nal, page 1073.) After tho resolution was
thus amendoj, a motion Was maJo to postpone in
definitely. .
This motion, if carried, Would haVe defeated the
resolution. It waa lost, Mi. Hegins voting against
it, (Journal, page 1075.) A motion was then
made to postpone it to the 0th of July, which Would
be after the legislature had adjourned. Mr, Hegins
voted against that. A motion was then made to
refer the whole matter to the committee on accounts
for their decision, which was cat ried, yeas 50, nays
40, Mr. Hegins voting against it, (Journal, page
1075.) So throughout the whole course of the af
fair, Mr. Hegina by hia votes, showed his willing
ness to relinqui h his pay during the adj .urnment,
and his roadiness to decido the matter at once. Tho
reference of the resolution to the committee on ac
counts, disposer! of the resolution, and it did not
come before the house again. Gn the last aftor
noon tf the session, the committer on accounts
reported the pay list of the members, with tho usual
resolution, via ;
u ResolveJ, That the speaker draw his warrant
en Ihe state treasury, for the sura set opposite to
their names respectively."
The yeas and nays which you published in your
paper, of the 8th inst., was upon the passage of this
resolution, and not upon the question ol relin
quishing hia pay duiing ilia adjournment. Mr. He
gins, had in every vote he gave, voted in favor of
relinquishing pay during the adjournment. Tho
whole matter had been relorred to the committee on
accounts agninst his consent, and the question pre
sented was, whether they will take any pay at all
Mr, Hegins voted for taking his pay during the
time ha was at Harrisburg.and if the committee on
accounts had included with it pay, which he by
his votes had shown a willingness to relinquish, it
waa nut bis fault for ho had voted against referring
it to the committco.
JUSTICE."
IMPROVING STATE OF THE COUNTRY.
Good effects of the Sub-Treasury.
The 8ub-Treasury Bill, so much denounced by
the opposition, received the signature of the Presi
dent and became the law of the laud on the Fourth
of July. That feature of "the bill which is so hor
rible in the eyes of the whigs, and which exacts
gold and silver in payment of the public dues, has
been enforced in all tho ahinplastct-riddcn Mates
since the middle of October last. It is by the oper
ation of this section that its opponents say 'he
price of agricultural produce is to be broug!' dewn
to almost notliiua, and the country to bj ruined
w, hneiiforth and forever. To ihs Iiow the
whiira indulge in the vilest misrepresentations, and
what poor judges they are as to what effect any
public measure will produce, let ua take a alight
glance at both the past and the present, and see
whether the change has been far the butter or
worse.
We find by reference to the Price Current of
lust October the Piice current of the 4th of July,
aud the Pi ice Current of last week, that since the
enforcement of the luw of Congress refusing irre
deemable piper in payment of the public revenne,
maf sinre the Sub-Treasury became the law of the.
land, flour has advanced in all the eastern cities 50
to 75 cents per barrel; whiskey 6 to 8 cents per
gallon wool 4 to & cents per pound ; wheal 12 to
15 cents per bushel ; rye 6 to 8 cents per bushel,
and we leurn that in Xew Orleans Jlvur has ad
vanced one dollar and a half an the barrel ! If the
Sut-Trcasury will ruin the country, and bring
down the value of every thing, how happens it that
prices have thus advanced since it went into opera
tion! Let the whigs answer this question to tho
people whom they have so studiously labored to
deceive.
Instead of tho " ruin" which was to follow tho
Sub-Treasury, we bear of an improvement in busi
ness, and a slow but certain advancement of tho
value of property in all parts of the country. If
there are any cases of suffering, they are the result
of the electioneering tyranny of some bank-fed and
bank-governed federal whig the result of uncon
trollable misfortune, or the natural fruits of idhme,
vice and dissipation. The farmer's produce of ev
ery description is fiom ten to twvaity per cent,
higher thin at any period of the foar yeais' whig
auiniiiislralioB of Adams and Clay and foreign
and internal navigation was never more a-;ivcy or
advantageously erupted mechanics and laborers
are hi demand, in m my p'aces, and finj plenty to
no in others, in spite of the efforts of the whig capi-
talis! to arwst eutcrjirise aus throw them out of
employment for eVvtioncering purposes, and the
merchants ale transacting a safe aud profitable bus
iness, and gradually r.coveiing from the diffi:'ties
into wilted fhey were led Vy the ruiueus vaainjUu
of the speculating gentry.
fcwch is the favorable and dar!y improving con
dition of our country under the operations of the
Sub-Tressury.

TO Tllil 11 III.IC,
In suhmiuin to the pti' lie the li-rt nfjin' ers of
the "Americarr," it may be deemed incumbent on
us at ne -es-Ary arid pniier to make a few observa
tions in relation to the establishment of this press,
and the course which its conductors int. nd 10 pur
sue in its publication. Tho ago in which we live
h .a been truly styled tho oge of improvement,
which no power un earth can arrest in ita progiess,
The applicalicn of steam lo ilia various purposes
of an, and tho more recent discovery of smelt
itig iron with anthracite coal, promises to Pennsyl
vania results that cannot bo too highly ceti
maled. The great valley of the Susquehanna is soon des
tined lo b. come the theatre of a new scene of en
tcrpr.zo aud indu-try, which may well excite thu
astonishment of those who are unacquainted with
her inexhaustible depositee uf co .1 and iron.
Her rugtied hllU and solit ry wastes, heretofore
dccoied woilliless, aie now eagerly sought after for
llio coal and iron which thev coi.tiiu. the nnxt
v duable niiueruls in nalur . It h .tf bet 11 said that
England owes her present power and wealth more

U.seik if so, then I'enns) lvunia ha within her
ow n lorders internal resources and powcrsof wealth
uisMH-psssed by the whi le Union. 1
Tho Sliamokiu coul legion, connected with this
place by a r ,it oad 20 miles in length, which a few
years since was a aolit try wild, untrodden by the
foot of man save Ihe solitary hunter in pursuit of
game, is now teeming with a busy end Industrious
population. The town of tibaniotift located in the
coal legion, a new vi lag'q coi uuing uboe 1 one
hundred houses, has spiuug wp as if Viy umgic,

lions, we, in common with many of pur iiiont cs
leemed fellow cilijieiis, conceived that a well con
ducted journal, if propei y eico)iagi d, rould lie
rendered highly ser;pb.'ble lo the community. The
progress of imntosvim nt and the rapid increase of
population, indeed lequire that the press should not
o.iiy keep pai-e with the spirit of rnterprir.e and in
dustry, bul as a pioneer lead the way and stimulate
to exertion the enerprir.ing and wealthy capitalist,
'J ho establishment of a new press in this pi ire
