coraispondent of the Chambersburg Tele
graph, estimates the revenue of the State
tbr the current year at upwards ola million.
The correspondent of the Telegraph,
speaks-thus
Would" you believe it that Philadelphia
pays under this law a tax on 115 millions,
amounting to 115 thqsand dollars, into the
public treasury. It is but right that that
city should pay so largely towards the pub
lic debt, when she had such an active hand
in causing it. This tax—the bonus from
new Banks, which will amount to 150 or
200,000 dollars--the Girard legacy of
$300,000, and the proceeds of the collate
ral inheritance_lum„zuld_other_Kkurc, Will
give our State a revenue this year of about
81,300,000, arising from sources that chief
ly add nothing to the taws upon the people
of the country. Philadelphia will probably
pay nearly a million into the public treasu
ry this year. Under these circumstances,
who, that knows the true state of our finan
ces, can reflect upon the. State kultninistra
tion—at no time, perhapS, has the income
of the public treasury been more flattering.
We are in debt it is true, but the income,
but a small proportion ofwhich will pay the
interest of our debts, and the ordinary ex
penses of the government, and leave a sur
plus of one or two hundred thousand dollars.
These estimates are conjectured, but can't
be far wrong. The committee of ways and
means have nut yet made their report."
THE MINT.—The President of the U.
States has transmitted to the Senate the an
nual report of the Directors of the Mint, ex
hibiting the operations of that institution for
the year 1831. This report states that the
coinage of the past year amounts to $3,923,-
473,60; comprising $:5714,270, in gold coins,
$3,175;000 in silver coins, and $3 3 , 603 , 60 ,
in copper7—eonsisting alto tether of 11,7(12,-
284 pieces, viz:—Half Eagles, 140,594,
Quarter Eagles ; 4,520; Half Dollars, 5,873,-
660; Quarter Dollars, 398,000; Dimes, 771,-
350; Half Dimes, 1,242,700; Cents, 3,350,-
260; and Half Cents 2,200. $26,000 worth
of the gold coined was received from Vir
ginia; $294,000 from North Carolina; and
from Georgia, $176,000 worth. Alabama
and Tennessee also furnished gold bullion to
the amount of about $l,OOO each, "indica
ting (as the report remarks) the progressive
developmentxf the ° (Y
old region." The coin
age of copper yielded a profit of about ten
thousand dollars, the last year; and inconse
quence, reduced the expense of the mint es
' tablishment for that time, to $28,000.
REVENGE.—Some ten days since, the
Albany Regency turned the Mayor of Alba

that soon after the occurrence, he discovered

The New York American pronounces
the speech of Mr. Hayne an able, and, in
many of its positions, a victorious speech,
but failing in proof where the position is ta
ken that the declining conditition of the
south is mainly attributable to- the protecting
system. The American adds..—" We go
entirely with Mr. Hayne in mosterhis gen

sweringit sooner; but the extent of ground
covered by your queries, render •it necessa

than a mere affirmative or negative answer.
In one_ word, then, the Pennsylvania In
quirer is correct in its position, that there
is a very decided opposition to the re.elec-
tion of the present governor of New York;
but it is all in the dark as to the nature and
source-of that opposition, its objects and its
strength. When in 1.828, it was &tenpin--
ed to run Mr. Van Buren fur governor, it was
deemed advisable to take a man from the
west, for lieutenant governor, and Enos T.
Throop was selected—not because he had
any positive merits or' claims, hut because
Ins-4/egoties -virtin:*---were_ oLma....deseript ion .
that rendered him a safe candidate. Nothing
could be urged against him, and he was of /
course elected on the strength of the popular
ity of Gen. Jackson and Mr. Vali Buren.
When Mr. V. B. was "translated" to Wash
ington, Mr. Throop of. course-became the .._ ,
acting governor, and then his want of posi,
tire qualification became apparent. Instead
of advising with the prominent men dour
party, he surrendered the reins of g,overn
menvto the Editor of the Argus, Mr. Porter,
the Register in uhancery, and nu. Olcott,
the Cashier of the Farmers' and Mechanics'
Bank. Judge Marcy, Mr. Wright, our I
Comptroller, and Mr. Flagg, the Secretary. -
~
Of Staternen who possess the contialence
of the democratic party, and who have nev-.
er abused that confidence—who wielded the :r
power of that Great State for years without
enriching or benefiting themselves, and what
is more, who were known to possess this
power, and familiarly termed "the regency,"
yet had such a hold upon the afiections of the
people that they cheerthlly submitted to it. ,
These men were thrust aside by ThroOp—
Croswell's star became the ascendant, and
our State and its destinies, have been in the
hands of a set of men whose only qualifica

election the truth was whispered about, and
the consequence was, that but,tiar the sup, _ _

would have been elected. The 11:4 regen

honest politicians and able' men, have con
sented to be considered responsible for acts.
of which they disapprove, and,. which are
calculated to bring the State qito disrepute.
This was the situation of matters at the
close of the last session of on rlegiSlature, but
the evideut increase of strength in the demo-
cratic ranks, and the hope of being able to
smuggle Throop in upon the shoulders of
General Jackson has induced them to change
their views; and notwithstanding the deal,
f 'rations last winter, they are now making .
• their arrangements fir tiiii re-nomination. •
This will produce a schism in our ranks for •
a. short time, but the peoplewill take the
matter into their own hands, and you may
rely upon it his career as a politician is at an
end.. In reply to your question, who will be
his successor, I must answer, I don't know.
We' are in favor cif Mr. Livingston, who is
a firm and independent demoer t, and poSsos-.
