Tire Gtoversorti Message.
Gov. POLLOCK'S third and last an
nual Me*sago to tho Legislature of
Pennsylvania will be found in our col
umns to-day.
Mr. Pollock was elected jr the pro
scriptive and bigoted order Nof Know
Nothings, and be seems not disposed to
let this occasion pass without "throw
ing in" a kindly word in their favor.
But the day for " capital" in that direc
tion has passed, as well as for the Tar
iff talk so largely indulged in in the
Message. The racvs are against the
Governor, as is verified when he is
forced to confess that" an inflated paper
egrreaPy, by cheapening the price of
money, increases in this country the
cost of •production," and thus of .a ne
cessity opens the door for the cheap
labor of other countries to flow in upon
us. In suggesting a remedy, he is also
unfortunate. His theory of a Protec
tive Tariff has been 'answered by argu
ments a hundred .times, and exploded
by facts and experience of which he
mast be Cognizant. When in Congress,
Mr. Pollock made s solemn pledge, that
if the net of 1846 produoed more reve.
tte than that of 1842, he would forsake
his protective principles and join the
free tenders. The trial has been made
—the . aillhoef- 1846 has produced more
revenunittlan did that a '42---e.nd still
Yr. Pollock is eprotectionist. He will

In the llnise, on Tuesday, the arrest
of %Volker, the Nicaraguan Filibuster,
by Com. Panlding, was discussed. Mr.
Iteitt, of S. C., Mr. Stephens, of (}a.,
and Mr., Bocoek, of Vs., censured the
arrest. Mr. J. Clancy Jones, of Pa.,
explained that the President, to fully
and technically carry Out the neutrality
laws, must have more power. Mr.
Lovejoy, of 111., protested against cloth
ing a man (Walker) with heroism and
making him a martyr, when he is sun
ply •a rascal.
The subject waseontinued on Wednes
day. Mr. Sickeis, of N. made a
speech of mach power in favor of Com.
Paulding. The expedition fitted out
by Walker, he said, was to make war,
and take life and property, within the
limits of Nicaragua, with whom we had
just made a treaty of amity and friend
ship. Instantaneously on the landing
or the expedition, acts of hostility were
perpetrated, men shot down and pro
perty seized. Every writer on inter
national law calls such conduct robbery
and murder, No man would go farther
to recognize the right of American citi
zens to emigrate to foreign lands. If
they wished peaceably to go to Central
Anierica, let theta go. He desired to
see the Isthmus Americanized. But
such expeditions as that of Walker, and
such conduet, are not calculated to pro
mote the interests of our people, so far
as they arc connected with the inter
ests of Central America. If the expe
dition was peaceful, as Walker inform
ed Secretary Cass it would be,, their
ploughshares were turned into swords,
and their pruning-hooks into spears,
with such quickness as to throw sus
picien on the sincerity of their profes
sions.
Mr. Haskins, of N. Y., said that al
though Commodore Paulding's conduct
might have been without authority,
there were abundant precedents to show
that the American Congress and people
bare sustained acts morally right but
technically wrong. He instanced ths
case of' the _declaration of martial law
by Gummi Jackson at New Orleans.
General Jackson afterwards became
President, and Congress subsequently
justified the act by paying back to him
the fine.
Mr. Gilmor, of North Carolina, saw'
nothing in the ease to justify such severe,
criticism of Com. Paulding—a most
praise-worthy officer and high-toned;
gentleman. Ho thought the Govern
ruent right in ordering a close scrutiny!
over the movements of Walker, ands
humorously ridiculed the idea of send-,
ing him back in a national vessel and
paying his expenses.
President Buchanan sent to the Sen
ate, to-day, a message in reply to a call
for information in regard to Central
America and the arrest of the filibuster,
Walker. While ho says that Paulding
went beyond his instructions in arrest
ing Walker where he did, he ascribes to
him patriotic motives and a desire to;
stand by and vindicate the honor and
integrity of his country. Nicaragua ,
alone has the right to complain in the I
premises, and it is quite certain she will
not.
. A somewhat warm debate followed,
in which a number of Senators partici
pated, Mr. Douglas taking opposition
ground to the President. The message
was referred to _the proper committee.
Corn. Paulding will not be recalled, and
ought not be.

A live, passenger-and-freigh ,-carry

a fixed, indisputable fact. On Wcslues
day last, the Gettysburg Railroad,
completed as far as New Oxford, was
formally opened to that point, and
trains now run regularly upon it, con
necting with those on the Hanover
Branch.
The opening attracted a large crowd,
probably twelve hundred persons, most
of whom availed themselves of the op

over the road. The excursions were
no HOU enlivened by the presence of
a.goodly number of the fair, for whom

their assiduous attentions on the occa
