We find thit following abridgement of Oa Report in the West Chester Register: . • • , or / - • It is signed by'RoativrTAßKEnud LYHAN Ron mans, and' is an able; if . not Conclusive argument in favor of the prayer of the memorial. For the sake of the good name of ,Pennsyl4nia, which is tarnished through the conduct of her Executive; for her honorand that of her citizens; f o r our own Sake as a native born Pennsylvanian, 'we could have wished that the evidence of foul -bri bery and corruption had been of a more doubtful character, and the conclusion therefrom, so ably drawn in the repor', lees clear and conspicious.- . -; The report occupies 'almost two pages of the In. telligencor, and contains eleven :columns of solid _matter, so_that_it-is-next-to-impossible-to-pUblish it in our paper, and yet.the citizens of the State, one and all, shoUld read it; examine the evidence it contains; compare 'the different parts,and make span unbiassed judgmOnt from it for theMselves. They should learn from this document , how im • iortant to the political welfare of the State, to its character and honor and pledged integiity; how' necessary to'the interests of the people, their civil and political right's ; how deely interesting to the safety and 'perpetuity of republican institutions, is the right et sutage. 'They shduld learn from this ably drawn paper, that a party without poli tical principles, relying for its numerical strength en an assumption of the name of Dmiecasev,pro fesaing to be the exclusive guardians of the right of suffrage in tfie abstract, and disfranchising States with uncompromising decision, is not to ho' 'trusted with power, nor suffered to attain it with out rash-lance. The .report shows t— • Ist. That the Governor of the State in 1839 ap pointed-Daniel M. Brodhead special agent te no. .gaciati3,loahs for Ahe Common Wealth -with- the Banks. - . -2d. That no - act of AsseMbly conferred - on the Governor the power to make such an appointment, that the said Daniel M. Brodhead was an officer unknown to the law, could not have been punish. ed for breach of trust, malversation or peculation, and that the appointment-was a delegation to this person of the Governor's official character. - • 3d. That this Daniel M.- Brodhead, in his ca: parity as special agent of the Governor, received . from the Bank. of the United States, for favors extended to it, the sum nf .868,609. . . 411sTTliarthesallivors - were not autholise - d by, law, but wero acceded to by the Governor, and -that no - pert - of - the above - sum ever went - into the Treasury,ef_the State. Sth. That during the legislative'sessiOn of 1840, the:Banks, desirous of being relieved from the. Penalties to WhiCh. they were liable, and to obtain a law legalizing the suspension of specie. payments • until.on br about the first of February 1841, em. ploycd.Danicl M. Brodhead, as a borer to effect its passage. , • : 6th. That the original suggestion to the Bank of the - United States to eMploy a borer or the.purposd of procuring the passage of such a law, and of Daniel M. Brodhead as the proper person to be employed with this okicei;=Was made by James M. Porter brothWof the Governor. 7th. That Daniel M.. Brodhead, and the. Bank of the United States entered intria contract, that in ease the former procured the passage of the law as ohmic stated, the latter should give bins the sum 0f.5120,000. Bth. That the law. was passed suspension lc. galized, penalties removed, and the sum of $120,. 000 paid over, at different times, to Daniel M.. Brodhead, according to contract. 9th. That soon after Brodhead went to Harris burg on his corrupt errand, it WB9 remarked that. the former hostility of the Governor towardithe Mink had clianged,-and he became a-warm ndvo. - - cate for the passage of the very ,law to which the Banks looked to relieve them of their embarrass- IME 10th.. That he was, himself,,the author of the resolutions for the relief of the Banks, that he con. totted them with, and in. the room of'haniel.lll. Brodhead, and that he went to the boarding houses of members, and personally interfered by his in• fluence with the members of his own party to ob tain their passage. -. 11th. That after the adjournment of the logic !ature, and during the summer of 1840, in a let ter written to a committee of his political friends, he denied that ho was in favor of the passage of these resolutions which lie had thus drawn, and endeavored to shift the odium of the measure from his own shoulders to the. Legislature. • 12th. That. tife - evidence - of - briberi and corrup tion lay buried in the bosoms•of a few who were parties to it, until January 1841, when a commit. tee of the stockholders of the Bank of the United &ales, appointed to examine and verify. tl:o ac- couvt of tho assets and liabilities of that itstitu- lion, discovered that the'sum of $99,800, had been expended by a committee.of Directors in thO spring or 1840, under a resolution of the dime. tors of the Dank, "with authority to proceed to Harrisburg, and generally to adopt such measures as they may necessary !co prptect, the inter. eats of the Bank." 13th. That soon after this, startling disclosure, the electioneering campaign for GoVerner - opened, and the public press directly charged Dass4l R. Porter with having received a large part of this Money; accounting thereby for the change cif principles avowed in his snnual message at the• opening of the Legislature in 040: . 14th : ?flint the public voice loudly demanded in Investigation, some of the newspapers attach- ed to his lia!ty, 'previous to the election, pledged, their nominees to the work oP investigation, and it was generally supposed that the 'GOvernor, as a Ratter Nar justice-to 'his •own character, -would have recommended such a Course 15t12. That instead o 1 doing as wax, expected, in hi; annual message at the coma eneemenk of the next scallion of the Legislature, he spoke of nvestigating 6ffinlittpeto in terms of dociiied dia. aliprillirition; and used-arguments dissuasive of all legislative extuninations into the abuses, of gov. ernment tha__Legi,elature—heivfognatwitlf; - standing his objections; raised a connnittee of ip vestigatien, and,: too. furthei .passectii:seeelutieri which obtained the signatttrn.,or the' Governor, directing the Attorney Geneial to, discontinue any. annmat prodeeditigs bad or to bo Ind against Georgo icecolot of any. patticlpetkii 4,fliira in oi4nin,itganinny ftpmtlie PuitedOutten aufi,,w 1040100p' gallon Of ihtLlgielqure Handy having:: thereupon consented donee before the , coniiitittee,,' tlio Goiertnir: trans, mitted•a'apectal mesSagele the Legislattire,kin, forming that body ; that hehad directed the Attar . , noy,Deneral to institute . criminal proceedings against the said Handy and others, and recommending that the original letters, tending to prove the fact of a conspiracy. to.proeure corrupt legislation during the session..of 1840,. and all vouchers in the s Possesiticni of, the cotninittee,or of. either of the.

We.entirely agree with We Public Ledger, in pronouncing the following verdict to he a righteous one r and - hope that it will exerciac a salutary_ in. fluenee'in future, by making every tax:payer feel the necessity of suppiessing at once these pope. ler outbreaks, and protecting the property of his fellow-citizens from violence : A verdict was rendered in the Supreme Court on Friday, in favor of the 2d African Presbyteri an Congregation of this city for 85650, to be paid out of the County Treasury for damages done to the property of the congregation during the riots in Ault last. This is just. While the county taxes the persons and property of its inhabitants, it should protect them in the_enjoyment-of-their liberty and possessions, and' is bound to indernni. fy them for outrages committed through its neg lect or Vr eaknesp. We also team that Stephen Smith has likewise recovered from the county in the same court, the sum of $4,724 89 for the destruction, during the seine riot, (on the let of April last) of •" Smith's Beneficial Hall." The people will soon get tired of upholding riots at such a cost. irrk fugitive Slave undergoing examine. lion at Northampton, Conn., when asked if his meter was a Olt:istian, replied, "No, sir; ha was a member of Congress."'
