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,

No tax on Teal estate is recommended.

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

The resolution of Mr. Parke, inviting Gen.

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

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.

The Gazette of Tamaulipas alludes to this inva

"The campaign of Texas will achieve much glo

A GROSS SLANDER RETRACTED. 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. And thousands of misguided freerrien
will perhaps, cast their votes against the tried
patriot, in honest indignation at this supposed
violation of human rights, and never know, or

AN APPLE OF GOLD.
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-

" I believe that upon the preservation of the

seat where, a Washington and a Jefferson dis
pensed the blessings of a free and equal Gov

of a Representative to conciliate, by every pos
sible means, the members of our great political

concession and forbearance, so only can it be pre

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.

Several of the most extensive manufacturers

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

From a recent published correspondence be

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

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

reason to fear a serious collision yet on th
subject.
Rattlesnake vs. the Bloodhounds.
There is a story in circulation, that the Semiu

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

A few weeks since, as we'learn from the Bur

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. He passed on to the next house, the ladv

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
