Never was a legUiative body so valorous in promise and so weak in rerformance,as the last General Assembly of I'ennsylva cia, although two thirls of each branch coincided in political professirn with the Kxeeutive. Elected by dissensions among the Opposition, the Democracy had full, ample power had complete control and mu-t bear all the responsibility. In reviewing their labors, we must first cofice that they utterly failed to make the least reform in, or additional security for, the IiaLking System. The sale of the remainins Stat Worts to the Puntnry k Erie Company, is an : important measure, the benefit or evil of which is to be determined by the good or , tad management cf the Company. The Militia and Liquor Rills were cot ' only uncalled for, but we believe will be . hostile to the public interests. In creating new cEce.s, and raisiDg the ; salaries of the Governor and themselves, this overwhelmingly ''Democratic-' Legis lature was (considering the ' hard times ') very liberal, patriotic, and benevolent ' with other people's money 1 The Senate pretty nearly "sustained " President Buchanan, while the House as evidently sympathized with his opponent, Senator Douglas. The mortification of the party over their evident failure, is amusing and suggestive. We quote a few of the anathemas from their leading Journals and others : "Scarcely less Uri!tu!rh.-l far infamy than the preceding infamous Legislature of 1;07, the members of this body must return to their homes with the conscious ness that they have left UNDONE most of those things which they ought to have done, and done many of those things which they oughi not to haTe done." Hirritlurj Patriot i "Dem. cran ) 'Each member received 8700 for IN FESTING our Capital nearly four months." S-lintynvt Journal. The Lfromiiri (ii:-'r says; "That exceedingly nse-fu! body, the l'ecnsylvania Legislature, adjourned cn Thursday. Last year it sold the best public improvements of the State. and this year sold the balance. If it will sell the Capitol next year, we do not know cf anything else belonging to the State to sell the Legislature toll itse'f many years ago." 'The list of acts passed numbers 500. Of these, only p in!c.n are general laws. The amsunt of special legislation about township election distriets.personal claims, county roads, and hundreds cf things which the Courts ought to be empowered tj settle, is amazing. Puila. llulhtin. These may eutSce. The election? ia Reading, Lancaster, Pittsburg, Erie, Phil adelphia, k;., have made a good beginning towards a revolution ia the State;next fall. There is no certainty in reformation by a change, yet the people often resolve to try it. The present good feeling among the opposition, may place the next Legis lature unequivocally on the side cf Liber ty and Economy. Emanciia aK'N in Russia.-The em ancipation excitement is still kept up in Rusiia. This 'despotic"' country is set ting an example which should not be lost on the world. The St. Petersburg Ga z'.Ue publishes an imperial decree signed 1 J tie Emperor Alexander, establishing, ia the districts of Kiew, Podotia and Ycl Lynia, a preparatory committee for carry ing out the emancipation of the serfs iu those provinces. One of the members cf the local nobility is appointed President. ; Rich committee is to consist of two mem Lers W each district, selected from the landed proprietors who have serfs, and of two experienced landed proprietors desig nated by the head of the local adminis-: tratiou. The "autocrat" seems to Lave more respect for the "mud sills" of society than some of our ''Democratic" statesmen. The Cuances is the West. A let-! tct in the Salem (Mass.) fcjUit-r, from : St. Louis, Missouri, says : i "Those young men who give up a cer tainty in the East, with the hope of im proving their condition ty removing West, had better stick to the fore-plane and plough handle ia New England; or, if 'ey do come West, must come prepared tottovethe one or Loll the other; for Cierks at.d speculators aro here already ia jroves,ar.i m-j-t cither itarre t-T 20 to: E.

When passing where the bulle ts cf the enemy were flying, she met Washington, who said, " Voung ' woman, are you cot afraid of the bullets?" She pleasantly answered, "The bullets will never cheat the gallows." She possessed extraordinary encrgy,even ia her extreme age, and would relate the events of her early days with all the viva-! city of youth.

Tney ascend our rivers from the 1st cf April to the 10th cf June, for the purpose of spawning, which they accomplish in the same maDncr that bass do, except the mail fails to cover the ova.
