Messrs. Reed, Brodhead, Dickey, Cox, Patter
son. Campbell, Stevens, Heister, and Pearson.
On motion of Mr. Burrowes, modified by Mr.
Roed, the grand Committee appointed to report
officers for the Convention, were appointed a
committee to report a State Committee of Cor
respondence. EVENING SESSION.
Mr. Reed from the Committee appointed on
resolutions reported the following:
Resolved, That this Convention representing
the great Democratic party, which, on the 30th
of October last, achieved a glorious victory in
the elecion of Gen. WM. HENRY HARRI
SON, the time honored soldier of the North
Western war, appeal to their constituents, a
majority of the people of this Commonwealth,
and invoke a fair and cordial support to his ad
ministration, thus far characterized by solici
tude for the public good.
Resolved, That the appeal thus made is jus
tified by the past career of a veteran patriot,
against whom no word of just Teproach has ever
been uttered, and who on the 4th of March,
1841, swearing to support the Constitution and
iho laws, in the face of day, and before assem
bled thousands of glad and grateful country
men, announced the principles which should
guide his administiaiion, and proclaimed the
pure principles of democracy which he had
learned in youth, and which in age he has not
forgotten.
Resolved, That to render that support effect
ual, and to accomplish the permanent deliver
ance of this State from the thraldom by which
it has been so long oppressed, it is necessary
that the State Administration should be changed,
and the same principle of wholesome reform
which is now applied to abuses at Washington
be applied to abuses at Harrisburg.
Resolved, That in the opinion of this Con
vention, a large majority of the people of this
Commonwealth have withdrawn their confi
dence from the present State Executive, who,
by the abuse of the power entrusted to him, has
alienated the good feeling of those who once
confided in him, has misapplied the patronage
which the Constitution confers, by bestowing
honor and office on individuals confessedly un
worthy, and forcing the people painfully to re
alize that the burthens the law imposes on
them, are to have no alleviation in the honesty
tand ability of public agents.
Resolved, That the expenses of the State
'Government, and especially of the administra
tion of the public works, which are exclusive-,
Ily under the charge of the Executive, have in-1
creased, are insreasing, and ought to be dimin- J
ashed having reached that point where en-'
durance ceases, and where the people will be
forced to decide, unless immediate and thor
ough Reform be instituted, whether a favorite
rpolicy shall be abandoned, or new contribu
tions be made by an impoverished people to
its support.
Resolved, That the number of agents on the
spoblic works ought, in the opinion of this Con
vention, at once to be reduced, and the useless
army of office-holders on the Canals and Rail
Roads be disbanded, so that revenue may meet
'expenditure, and the public purse be relieved
from the dear support of those who receive wa
ges without doing work to earn them, and the
rules of economy which regulate each hand
working man's private family be applied to the
household of the State.
Resolved, That this Convention knows no
aftode of effecting this Reform, and this re
trenchment of patronage and expense, but by a
change of the Executive, as the people and the
Legislature have been made to realize that the !
present Governor sees objections in ail meas
ures which have a tendency to Reform, and is
pledged by his past acts and unscrupulous uso
f the veto power, to resist all attempts to re
duce his patronage, such as the people demand,
and the people's Representatives have ap
proved. Resolred, That by the acts of the Executive
the people are taught to doubt the efficacy of
rthe laws, and the certainty with which punish
ment ought to follow admitted crimes, and have
witnessed the degrading spectacle, of the abuse
and prostitution of merciful prerogative to afford
immunity of slander the violation of Judicial
rules by a pardon before trial, and a general
warrant to a licentious press to defame as much
as it pleases, so long as it is secure iu Execu
tive favor.
Resolved, That it is the popular voice which
now calls to deserved promotion, an honored
son of Pennsylvania, a man whom the people
have trusted and who never has deceived them,
-a man of unsullied integrity and commanding
talents, pledged to the cause ol his country, of
Reform and the Supremacy of the laws, by a
'life of public service, and endeared to the af
fections of various portions of the State who
know and respjjrt him. Our candidate the
Harrison candidate the candidate pledged to
Economy and Reform the candidate the Con
vention now presents to the people is JOHN
BANKS of Berks county.
Resolved, That the true interests of Penn
sylvania require that no occasion should be
omitted of asserting the true Pennsylvania doc
trine, that Domestic Industry should be pro-:
Reeled by an adequate tariff of foreign merchan
dise, by which employment will be furnished
to American industry, and permanent prosper
ity be secured by preventing the exportation of
tne precious ineiais io purchase loreign laoncs,
which can be better and more cheaply manu
factured at home, holding out the fostering hand
-of protection till our mineral wealth be fully
developed and our industry meet its due re
ward. Resolved., That Pennsylvania, in common
with her sisters of the Confederacy, claims to
.have, and possess, her just and equal share of
he public domain acquired by the blood and
ireasurc of our ancestors, and, that the present!
condition of our Finances, as well as the prin
ples of Justice require, that an early distribu
tion of tho Public Lands should be made, to
maintain the credit of the Commonwealth, and
relieve her citizens from taxation.
Resolved, That this Convention, now about
to separate, pledges those whom it represents
to zealous and Tesolute co-operation in the spir
it of the last contest of 1840, from this day
forth till the election shall be decided, and im
ploring the blessings of Providence on its la
bors, confidently trust under Povidence to the
efficacy of that harmonious action which has
saved the Nation, and will save the State.
Resolved, That it be recommended to the
Democratic Harrison party of the several coun
ties of this Commonwealth, to meet forthwith
in their respective counties and organize by ap
pointing County Committees and Committees
of Vigilance in their respective wards, town
ships and districts.
Mr. Reed moved the following Resolution.
Resolved, That the thanks of the Conven
tion be presented to the late State Committee
for their diligence and activity during the late
contest: which was unanimously adopted.

An Important Invention;
We have been very much gratified with the
exhibition of the model of an Arch adapted to
bridgeing, on an entire new "principle, the in-
vention ot Mr. J. Jb. Dulion ol tnis city, it is
called the Patent Lever Self-sustaining Arch,
and according to the model, is a most admira
ble and highly important improvement over ev
ery kind of bridge known to be in existence,
embracing new and various advantages. The
principle of strength is illustrated by the invert
tor in the clearest manner by actual compara
tive test, and which shews the Arch capable of
bearing the largest amount of weight that can
be required. The model exhibits the construc
tion without abutments, except sustaining the
perpendicular weight, consequently the cost of
construction would be very much reduced lrom
present rates. The expense and weight ol tint
ber consumed in the present bridges is imwense
the vast amount of timber used is a source of
continual damage caused by self-weight alone
which this plan remedies. Comparing this
Arch with the Railroad Bridge over Gray's r er
ry, it is important to observe that the difference
alone in the weight of timber in the construe
tion of the two bridges, is so great, that the ex-
cets of timber required for the former would be
more than equivalent to the whole weight that
would ever pass the Self-sustaining Arch, and
this would be independent of the original cost.
To illustrate this fact, it should be distinctly ob
served that there is more than three times the
amount of timber in the lattice bridges, like
Gray's Ferry, than would be required to build
a perfect Arch on this plan. The invention
clearly demonstrates advantages in point of
economy, strength and durability, and cannot
fail therefore to arrejit the attention of the pub
lic, particularly all who are interested in the
subject. We understand that the model will
be placed iu tho Exchange for exhibition in a
few days;
Common Carriers. The Court in
Bank (the court of last resortin Ohio,)
have decided that proprietors of stage
coaches are common carriers that
as such they are responsible for the
safe conveyance of passengers and
baggage that their giving-notice to
the contrary cannot relieve them from
liability that a watch is a customary
article of baggage, and the trunk of a
traveller the proper place for its de
posit that the proprietor will be
charged if it be lost. We very often
observe in the advertisements of stage
proprietors 'all baggage at the risk, of
the owner ! There have been numer
ous decisions of late upon this point,
in different States of the Union, all of
which coincide that such a notice avails
nothing.
A Gone City. The city of Apa
lachiolahas bought out the city of St.
Joseph, and hereafter all the business
of the latter is to be united with the
former. In speaking of this bargain,
sale and transfer, the editor of the Ap-
lachola Journal says: "Of St Jo
seph we would speak as of adeceased
foe, who had warred long and unani
mously against us, and at last fell a
victim to her own delusive theories.
She now "sleeps death's silent sleep,''
on the very spot of her origin; and
while we chaunt her funeral requiem,
we would throw the broad mantle of
charity over manifold imprudences &
indispretions, and receive her citizens
as the father did tho prodigal son."

FOR GOVERNOR.
JOHN BANKS,'
OF BERKS COUNTY.
The Democratic Convention which assem
bled at Harrisburg on the 10th inst., unanimous
ly nominated John Banks, of Berks county, as
thft T)fmnr.ratic candidate for Governor. We
congratulate our friends upon this result, satis
tied as tfe are, that a belter selection could not
have been made. John Banks is well known
iu this part of the State, and will we are confi
dent, receive a warm and cordial support. His
honest straight-forwardness of character, and
well known legal acquirements, qualify him in
an eminent degree for the station to which his
friends desire to elevate him. In his hands the
constitution (the new one we mean) and laws
of the State would be safe, and the best inter
ests of the Commonwealth promoted.
Bank of Western New York. The Ro
Chester Democrat of Saturday says: "the Bank
of Western New York suffered $13,000 of their
notes to be nrotestcd yesterday. We under
i -
stand that the Bank is about to bring their bus
iness to a close.

Tlie New Speaker.
John H. Ewing Esq. of Washington county,
was on" Saturday, elected Speaker of the Sen
ate of Pennsylvania, in the place of the Hon.
Charles B. Penrose resigned. From the le
gislative experience and high attainments of the
new incumbent, we may anticipate a successor
worthy of one of the best Speakers, who has
ever presided over this deliberative body.-
Daily Telegrdph.
A letter from Washington to the New York
Star says:
" You ask for rfews of appointments and
nominations for office; when the fact is, you in
New York know full as much and more than
we do here. Appointments to office seem to
be a secondary affair the heads of depart
ments are intent on tho duties they have to
perform, and a fearful responsibjtty it is. They
have yet to ascertain what is first to be done.
Every thing is chaos and confusion in the de
partments: new books are to be opened, and
the old ones cautiously examined, and the true
condition of the affairs ascertained. Each de
partment will, as soon as possible, report to
the President the condition of its immediate af
fairs, and on this collective report will depend
the necessity of a special session. I appre
hend that the condition of the country bad
beyond what we imagine the derangement of
tho exchanges, the bankruptcy of banks, the
suspension of credits, the decay of trade, the
State debts, the Florida war,' the English ques
tion, and the amount of unliquidated claims,
will press for immediate action through a spe
cial session of Congress; the nation is like a
patient laboring under a complication of disor
ders, without medical advice and demanding
instant relief."
A dancing master was taken up in Natches
recently for robbing a fellow boarder. He said
he commenced by cheating a printer, and after
that, every thing rascally seemed to come easy

More than half right. The Boston Post
thinks that one bed bug producing 200 young
ones per annum, is about equal to the issue of
bills by the banks, in proportion to the specie
in their vaults.
A Tribute to 3TIr. Webster.
At the Whig State Convention, held at Bos
ton on Tuesday last, the following just tribute
to the character of Mr. Websterj was unani
mously adopted:
Resolved, That as citizens of Massachusetts,
we feel bound to express our sincere gratifica
tion,that the course of events will place at the
head of the new cabinet an eminent citizen of
our own Commonwealth, whose long public life
is illustrated by every act which can mark a pa
triot, and "in whoso hands the prosperity of
Massachusetts has not been impaired, nor her
honour tarnished," and to whom we now tender
this record of the solemn judgment of his con
stituents. 9

The Administration prints attempt to' ridicule
Gen Habbisok for his uniform attention, politeness,
and gallantry, exhibitedtowards thefairer andbet
ter portion of our race. They forget that "an old-
wise and that his deportment in this respect is nat
ural to a brave and kind hearted hero, let him be
ever so aged. Besides, has not Gen. Harrison a
debt of gratitude due to his countrywomen for their
exertions in his behalf? Nine-tenths ofthem were
in his favor, and he but frequently ownsjhis obliga
tion by showing them his attachment and respect.
Alex. Gazette.
A Splendid Table for President Harri
son. Messrs. Cutler, White, & Co. have just
completed a most superb Center Table, to be
presented by the Mechanics of Erie County, io
President Harrison. The material is the
growth of "Old Erie," consisting of 816 pieces
of the mdst beautitul black walnut, put togem
er and finished in a style of workmanship which
we think can hardly be excelled in this, or any
other country. On the pedestal are inlaid thir
teen large stars of polished silver, representing
the old thirteen states, which formed the basis
of this glorious Republic: and on the border of
the upper surface of the table are 26 similar
stars, arranged in admirable order, to represent
the 26 states which now compose the lederal
Union. The cost of this elegant specimen of
the Mechanic arts, was $200. Buffalo Com

A Singular Fact. We learn from the
New England Farmer, that on Thursday eve
ning of last week, at the Agricultural meeting
at the State House, Dr. C. T. Jackson, in the
course of an address on the subject of soils, sta
ted that the minute roots of living plants exert
powerful chemical action in decomposing rocks
and the very small stones-gravel stones-wnicn
abound in our lands. The roots of bulbs in
glasses he has found corroding the glass, and
extracting from this hard substance a portion o
its food. In these living roots there is greater
chemical power than nitric or sulphuric acias
exert; for the glass is unanected by them.
