Correspondence of the Phildelphia EXTRCT TO THE EDITOR, DATED .Wednesday, March 18. We have a new scheme "on thb carpet" to day. Mr. Fleniken from the Committee of Ways and Means, submitted a report to tax personal property, as well with the object of paying the interest on the State ueot as witn thai of establishing a sinking fund for the ulti mate liquidation of the whole thirty-lour mil lions. It proposes to tax personal estate, notes stocks, debts, money at interest and ground rents, also household furniture and pleasure carnages, the latter two dollars ptsr annum. Among other items, 1 notice the following, , Per annum Gold Levers, $1 50 All other gold watches 1 00 Silver Levers, ' 1 00 Other silver watches, 50 All salaries and1 .emoluments ol oiiice, one per cent, per dollar. The supposed revenue to bo derived from this tax on personal estate, ground rent, &c, per annum, is estimated at $300,000 On salaries and emoluments, 20,000 On household furniture, carriages and watches, 160,000 Tax on brokers, , 20,000 500,000 100,000 Expected from other sources, SC00,000 No tax on Teal estate is recommended. The report also recommends the sale of the 1 motive power anu iu? uu .c o,a u . noaa, logemer w ui me ud..K awn. ucuugmg to the State, for the purpose of meeting the im mediate emergencies of the Treasury. Three thousand copies of the report were ordered to be printed in English, and fifteen hundred co pies in German. Messrs. Fleniken and Roberts were added by the House to the bank Committee oi Con- j ference. The Senate refused to make any ad- ditions companies personally liable for the corporate ! debts. j m, , J ' c t n i - , The resolution of Mr. Parke, inviting Gen. Jackgon 0 vigU tho State asa publicfa uest came up for consideration. Mr. Butler inquired what would be the prob- abl expense uf the reception, to which Mr. Parke replied that it was contemplated that the I expense should be privately borne. j to extend the invitation to another distinguished public benefactor General Harrison. Mr. Parke replied that ho should prefer a seperate resolution to effect that. Mr. Hinchman moved an amendment, that the expense shall not exceed two thousand dol lars, which he afterwards withdrew. Mr. Crabb passed an eulogy on the charac- I ter of the old Hero, and thought the expense should not be limited in amount, but be borne by ( &e State Treasury. Mr. Snowden said the i fen(ls of Gen- Jackson, would be proud to i "ear me expense The resolution passed without a division. The friends of Gen. Harrison were not dispo sed to oppose a moasure to honor one who had served his country on the tented field. In Senate, Mr. Brown stated in his place, that a majority of the Senate Committee of Con ference had refused to meet the Committee of ceed wuii me onierence. un mis motion there was considerable debate, in which Messrs. Brown, Bell, Fleming, Pearson and Penrose took part. Mr. Fleming finally moved an amendment, in effect eirecting the Senate Committee to proceed in the conference with the original committee from the House, and the amendment was adopted, 18 to 11. In this matter Air. Brown was again foiled The star.of his influ ence is no longer in the ascendant, and the mea sures of the Governor are likely to be sustained.

I he Mexican Congress had authorized the Gov ernment to borrow 1,000.000, at not less than eighty cents for a dollar. Tin's loan is to be one of the ways and means for carrying on the expedi tion against Texas. The principal resource of the Government for this projected invasion is the capitation tax, of which we have heretofore spoken. The Gazette of Tamaulipas alludes to this inva sion of Texas in terms of confidence: "The campaign of Texas will achieve much glo ry for Mexico, and restore her name and her honor. The slavery of the black man, which is tolerated in Texas, and which was the causa of the revolu tion, will arm the Mexicans to drive those usurp ers beyond tho Sabine.

I That excellant man, William Henry Harri- sen, has been charged with having " recorded his vote to sell freemen for debt ;" and this in famous lie has been published in all or nearly all of the Van Buren presses, without comment as if it were a fact not to be disputed, and it is probably believed by many who take, as law and gospel, whatever their party Journals tell them. It is is pleasing, indeed, to find one ad ministration journal, the New York Evening Post, one of the most determined and unrelent ing in its hostility to Gen. Harrison, willing to make amends for the injury it has done to his fame. That paper has published the follow ing retraction. " A letter of Gen. Harrison's has been pub lished, from which it appears that in our re marks on thevsubjecl of his attempt to introduce white slaverv into the State of Ohio,- we did him some unintentional injustice. The letter is dated Dec. 22, 1821, and appears to have been drawn forth by a newspaper attack upon his course in the Legislature in relation to the same law. We are glad to see, that according to Harrison's explanation of the matter, neither he nor the gentlemen who voted with him, were in favor of selling human beings for civil debt." Will the other papers of the party imitate tho above honorable example 1 Not one in ten of them.

The unqualified -abuse that is daily heaped upon the "Peoples Candidate, by a party press that owes its existence only to the pam pernigs ot a corrupt and wicked government, cannot but be viewed with scorn and abhor rence. Abuse, it is true, is the only weapon that is left to the enemies of Gen Harrison but jt is pointless and imbecile. The following noble and eloquent sentiments expressed by the j "Peoples Candidate, is an " apple of gold" and contains more true and unadulterated pat riotism, than a volume of the sayings of Martin Yan Buren. They occur at the close of a com- munication adt cinnati Inquisi Idressed to the Editor of the Cin- quisitor, in September, 1322. Bait. Patriot " I believe that upon the preservation of the Union ol the States depends the existence of our civil and religious liberties ; and that the cement which binds it together is not a parcel of words written upon paper or parchment, but the brotherly love and regard which the citizens of the several States possess for each other. Destroy this, andirrc beautiful fabric which was reared and embellished by our ancestors crum bles into rnins. From its disjointed parts no temple of liberty will again be reared. Discord and wars will succeed to peace and harmony barbarism will again overspread tne land; or, what is scarcely better, some kindly tyrant will promulgate the decrees of his will, from tho seat where, a Washington and a Jefferson dis pensed the blessings of a free and equal Gov ernment. I believe it therefore, to be the duty of a Representative to conciliate, by every pos sible means, the members of our great political family, and always to bear in mind that as the Union was effected only by a spirit of mutual concession and forbearance, so only can it be pre served.

A Falsehood Nailed to;the Counter. The Van Buren papers have quoted the following-very freely ; Jlanicl Webster's opinion of William Henry Harrison. ATr. Webster, when asked, in 1835, if he wouM be placed on the same ticket with Gen. Harrison, replied, "I cannot be guilty ol any act that shall, in the remotest degree, tend to the elevation of a man to tho Presidency, who is justly the scorn and ridicule of his foes, and the pity and contempt of his friends." We did not suppose there was any truth in the paragraph, but the National Intelligencer puts the matter at rest. On the authority, un doubtedly, of Mr. Webster, that paper says : We arc authorized to say, most emphatical ly, that there is no foundation whatever, for the assertion of the above paragraph respecting Mr. Webster's opinion of General Harrison, 1 he statement is unqualifiedly false." How many Van Buren papers that have pub lished the error, will also publish the correction Harrison and Van Buren. A distinguish ed statesman from the North, remarked in our presence vesterdav. that he was a member of the United States Senate when Harrison and Van Buren represented Ohio and New York in that body. He observed from what he knew of their relative standing in the Senate, and their respective servic-es, he believed there was no man in the country more overrated than Mr. Van Buren was al that time, and no one so un justly underrated as General Harrison. He alleged that his knowledge was trom actual ob servation of the two, and he had ever regarded General Harrison as infinitely superior to Mr Van Buren, in every constituent of a great mind and a erreat.statesman. This has ever been our opi lion of the two men, and we are glad to have it confirmed by so competent a witness. Philadelphia Standard. The Locofocos are mightily displeased with the popular movements in favor of General Harrison, and seek to diminish their importance by denominating them a preconcerted game of! the opposition. But this will hardly do. It will prove an ungrateful task to convince the people of this position.

Others run their machinery one or two days during each week. The origin of all this difficulty is to be found in the policy of the National Administration. We must have a thorough change in our rulers before we can expect any alteration in the business and pros perity of tho country. Should Van Buren and his. party be continued in power, and his fa vorite scheme, the sub-treasury, become a law, the wages of the mechanics and laborers of the United States will b reduced to a level with those of England.

On the night of the 19th ult. the village of Falsoe Tharkeny, in Hungary containing 220 habitations, and'a population of 900 souls was entirely destroyed. In the day the daughter of a rich farmer was mar ried to a young man of Lecchy. At midnight, when the happy pair retired, Charles Thelky, who had sought the hand of the brido but was refused, set firo to tho dwelling, and it was completely enveloped in flames, which spread throughout the whole place.

From a recent published correspondence be tween the American and British Governments, on the Boundary Qaestion. it is reduced to a. certainty, that the Colonial authorities have ta ken "military possession" of a part of the dis puted territory, contrary to the. terms and spirit of the agreement with the f ieutenant Governor of New Brunswick ; and. ma.- a disposition ex ists to take advantage of the inaction and con fidence of the American Government, to the injur' of the rights of ilaine. There i? great reason to fear a serious collision yet on th subject. Rattlesnake vs. the Bloodhounds. There is a story in circulation, that the Semiu olcs are training Rattlesnakes to fall on the white settlements as an offset to the Blood hounds. The Evening Star says : "The story is, that on hearing of the intended importation of the bloodhounds a council of the cruets and warriors had been held in the Black Swamp, and that one of the chiefs, who is also a jug gler or sort of prophet, named Mico humppy-ti- U-nuggv, had offered to catch and tram Jtvo mm- , . . .- .jrfij nr largest mllle.snakes to be touncl in -n js inst!iril death ; and the Rattlesnake of Flor- ida is of enourmous size, often from eight to ten feet in length ; one was killed some years ago, with an hundred rattles.

A Paris paper tells us with all the gravity , due to the occasion, that a worthy inhabitant of St. Omerwent to bed on Christmas eve, full of a feast he was to give next day to his family and friends. About mid night, he arose in his sleep, went down. -into the kitchen, and lit all the fourneaux.

JJoston 'Xrans. A few weeks since, as we'learn from the Bur lington (Iowa) Patriot, the Rev. Samuel Leonard left that place on horseback in very feeble health, the weather being exceedingly cold. After going some distance, he stopped to warm himself at a house, and, while he was there, .his horse broke loose and escaped. Mr. L. foilowed his horse on loot till he came to another house, where he re- requested to bo allowed to stay all night but was refused.

Melancholly accident and culpable follu. On Satnrday last a Mrs. McGilvery, residing on Second street above Oak, took out a pistol be longing to hor husband, who is absent, which had been laid by for a long time to clean it. Supposing it not loaded she put a cap on it and snapped it at a Mrs. Ennis,merely with'a view of scaring her. It did not go oil, and pursuing her amusement she put on another can and went to the house of Mr. Richard Russell, a neighbor who was standing at his door. Af ter some firivildus remark, she snapped th pistol at his face when it went off, the con tents of a leaden ball, entering the left eye, and passing quite through tho head, came out of the back of tho neck. Mr. Russell fell back in tho house and expired about four o'clock. From this unfortunte circumstance, Mrs. Mc Gilvery became almost frantic. After the act she was laken before a magistrate where all tho facts were inquired into, wjiere sho was dis charged their being no evidence of malice ; on tho contrary it was the result of tho pistol be ing loaded.
