Porter is re-elected we shall be compelled to submit to taxation four times as heavy as at present; and the money wrung from us will not go into the State Treasury, but the pockets of the friends of the Governor and the Canal Commissioners. We shall hear of more "fat jobs" then, than ever, and every connection of these officers will have dheir hands in the Treasury, plundering the stale. Every farm in the country will be taxed to support the reckless extravagance and wholesale robbery of these unprinoipaled public agents. Look to this vo ters, ere it be loo late! lb.

The Argus is filled with lamentations for the fate of the "reformed" office-holders. This jeremaid, more than two columns in length, cannot fail to excite scorn and contempt. We can conceive of nothing marc pitiful than this baby whine from demagogues who have been playing the tyrant for fifteen years. Ten years ago.'when Jackson came into power, the black banner of PROSCRIPTION was unfurled. It was then openly proclaimed that the adminis tration would "REWARD ITS FRIENDS AND PUNISH ITS ENEMIES." Up to this evil day, proscription for opinion's sake, by the General Government, was comparatively unknown. But the work of proscription, under the specious motto of " glory and reform" then commenced. All who held office without the Jackson collar, were hunted down. Neither talents, nor services, nor virtues, were exempt ed. Tho proscription was universal. So far indeed was the doctrine carried, that Gov. Mar cy, in the Senate of the United States, openly avowed the sentiment that "TO THE VIC TORS BELONG THE SPOILS." This sentiment was responded to by the whole par ty, and by none more vehemently than the whimpering groveller of the Albany Argus, who has ever been among the most rapacious polit ical marauders. But the Argus does not revert to a report made to the Senate of the United Slates on a call of Mr. Tallmadge.

The Guillotine at Work. One Postmaster has been removed at Marietta in Lancaster County! After this immense ex ertion, we will give the Executive some six weeks to recover breath and prepare for another onset. The axe of the guillotine is rusted for want of use; we want to see it bright and shi ning, and have it work as nimbly as the chop sticks of a Chinese when eating his rice! It does us good to hear the groans of the locos as they are dragged up the only danger is we shall have TOO FEW removals to change measures we must change men our sufferings is intolerable, and how arc we to penetrate the interior, while the "rascally" loco foco post masters are kept in office? We commend to the Post Master General the answer of Major Barry, who having been de tained from a party given by Mrs. Eaton until near midnight, was asked by the hostess what had detained him "My dear madam" said he "the General and myself have been very busy to-night we have cut off the heads of nearly four hundred Postmasters." That's the way to work it by hundreds. Pa.

To the President of the Senate of the V. Slates: Sir: In obedience to the directions of the Senate, contained in their resolution of the 7th instant, the Secretary of the Treasury has pre pared, and herewith submits a plan of a Bank and Fiscal Agent. In the general plan and frame, of said institu tion, he has endeavored to free it from the con stitutional objections which have been urged against those heretofore- created by Congress, and as far as practicable, without imparting its usefulness, to guard it in its details against the abuses to which such institutions are liable. And he now respectfully submits it to the Sen ate with the hope that, in the process of con sideration and enactment, it may become, what he did not presume to promise, but which he earnestly desires to see in the possession of the nation, a Bank and Fiscal Agent, free from constitutional objections, and adapted to the wants of the country and convenience of the Government. It is proposed to incorporate a Bank in the District of Columbia, by the name of the Fiscal Bank of tho United States, having a capital of thirty millions dollars, with power to establish branches or offices of discount and deposite in the several States, with the assent of the States; that the Government subscribe one-fifth part of the capital; and on tho supposition that it is the purpose of Congress hereafter to direct that the fourth instalment, appropriated by the de posite act of June 23d, 1836, shall be paid into the treasuries of the several States, it is also proposed that a subscription to that amount be made in the name of the United States, for the use of the States respectively; the stock be as signed to, and become the property of such States as shall accept the same, in the manner and in the proportions, and subject to all the conditions provided and imposed by that act. And for the amount of the six millions to be subscribed by the United States on their own account, and also for the amount to bo sub scribed for the use of the several States, it is proposed that a stock be created, bearing an interest of five per cent, per annum, redeema ble at the pleasure of the Government at any time after fifteen years. In case Congress should not see fit to make such a provision as is proposed for paying to the States the fourth instalment under the de posite act, it may be well worth while to con sider whether the States might not be permit ted to take the slock of the bank according to their respective amount of population, to the ex tent of ten millions in all, issuing therefor stock of their own, bearing such interest, and reim bursable at such periods, as might be prescribed; the dividends on the shares thus held by the States, respectively, to be applied, in the first place, to the payment of the interest on their stocks; with a further provision, if thought ne cessary, that, in case the proceeds of the pub lic lands should be applied to the reimburse ment of the principal of their deb'ts, or stocks, created or issued for the purposes aforesaid. In the opinion of the Secretary, it is desira ble that the States should be permitted to take an interest in one of the foregoing modes, or some other mode, in the new institution; but, if Congress should think otherwise, then it is re commended that the Government of the United Stales subscribe for ten millions of stock, leav ing twenty to bo subscribed by individuals. It is proposed that the affairs of the Bank be managed by seven Directors, two of them to be appointed by the Presidf nt, by and with the ad vice and consent of the Senate, and five to be elected by the stockholders, at their annual meeting. A president to be chosen by the di rectors out of their own body. That the branches be managed by not more than seven, nor less than five directors, two of them to be appointed by the States in which the branches may be situated, if such State bo a stockholder, and the rest to be appointed by the directors of the Bank. It is proposed that the Bank be tho fiscal agent of the Government. That the public moneys be deposited in it; and when there, that they be deemed and taken to be in the Treas ury of the United States, and that the deposites be not removed exceptuy Jaw, and tnat tne notes of the said Bank be receivable in the pay ment of the public dues, and that payments made by the Treasurer of the United Stales may be by checks on said Bank. That the said Bank receive the funds of the United States; that it transmit them from one part of the Union to another, and distribute them for the payment of public creditors, and perform the duty of pension agent free of charge. The ordinary powers and privileges of bank ing institutions being conferred upon it, and the ordinary liabilities and duties imposed in order to prevent over-banking, excessive issues, fluc tuation in the price of stocks and consequent speculations therein, and to secure the bill hold ers and other creditors of the Bank from dan ger of loss it is proposed To limit the dividends to six per cent, per annum, hut if thev fall short in any year, the deficiency, with interest thereon, to he after- ' 7 J wa!mad0.g!T?!'ra, Tf'r "c'";ged considerable extent in thjsitev 1mirmovos about wilh a ,,. munwa, eMBuiu6 . ...,,., be passed to the credit' of tho Treasurer of the United Slates. That the amount of debts which it may at any time owe, shall not exceed twenty millions over and above its deposites, That tho debts at any time due to the bank shall notexpreae the amount of its capital and seventy-five per cent thereon; and that when the amount of its bills in circu lation shall exceed three times the amount of snecie in its vaults, no new loan shall be made. That it shall not deal in any thing except coin, bullion, promissary notes and inland bills of exchange. That it shall take no ntore than six per cent upon loans. That it shall discount no promissary note, and purchase no bill of exchange which has more than one hundred and eighty days to run, or make a loan for any longer time. That no debt shall be renewed. That it shall not at any time loan the United States more than three millions of dollars, nor any Slate more than one hundred ihimsaud dol lars, nor either for a longer time than one hun dred days, unless authorized by law. That it shall contract no debt for a longer time than one year. That it shall issue no noles of a less denom ination than ten dollars.

All which is respectfully submitted. T. EWING, Secretary of the Treasury. " Central Committee, 4th Ad dresses. Democracy Triumphant" This heads the leading editorial arti cle in the Harrisburg Reporter. The said Committee have been endeavor ing by sundry long winded addresses to blow away the storm of indigna tion which threatens to overwhelm the present Executive. These ad dresses strongly remind us of certain proclamations once issued by one Wouter Von Twiller, against the "rascally Yankees" who were inva ding his dominions. Whether they will prod ucethe same effect, as did the proclamation of the worthy Dutchman, remains ret to be seen. Sus. Reg. "The Dutch have taken Hol land!

The Baltimore Clipper gives the following as an extract of a letter da ted Tallahassee, June 9th: "About four weeks since, as I was passing from Santa Petre, a village 60 miles from Tallahasse, where I reside, I saw an old acquaintance of mine from Alabama, by the name of Livingston, most horribly mutilated by the Indians. His eyes were plucked out, his ears, nose, and both hands cut on. He was really the most awful looking object I ever be held. Those who live in your coun try may talk of the war ending, but if they were here their opinions would change. L here are no signs ot such a thing it may last, from present appearances, for twenty years. The bilio US and congestive fevers have Manv mrsnns ravfi i or Onv. streets, as you may be aware, have been the theatres of some deep, dark and bloody tragedies; morals are in deed out of tune. One thing, how ever, we need not starve, as we have plenty of fish, game of every descrip tion, and vegetables in abundance. Those everlasting fevers, I fear, will long continue to cast a mildew over human happiness in this rcpion." It becomes our painful duty to slaL that a horrible murder has been com mitted in this county the first wilful murder within our limits during a period of twenty-nine years.

Had it not been for his conciliatory course on the North Eastern Boundary, not a doubt exists but what we should be involved in war with the mother coun try. His services at different times on the frontiers, have a value and im portance attached to them, which scarcely can be estimated. Organized Beggars. The New York Advertiser men tions the existence in that city of reg ularly organized bands of stout beg gars, who meet at regular times and places to feast and carouse upon the proceeds of their mendicancy. A posse of watchmen, afew nights since.. pounced upon a beggars boarding house, and the whole household were made prisoners among them a good ly proportion of children, some .11; more than six years old. 1 nere wast no sign of want among them; on the contrary the elements ol good eating and drinking were in abundance, and but for the intrusion of the watchmen no doubt the beggars would have had a jolly night of -it.
