I most - solemnly call on the members of this llouse—in . the nume of the people to make a commencement. Tour millions in. revenue. Four millions paidout of the Treasnry=hut to whom and for• what pur poses!-..Cunld the e tawayers of Petinsylvania know how-this money- ismquanderedr.faney yonr. levies would be cullebted by judicial sales. Sir, 1 hold in Intl hend a letter I received a few .days einee front alentleman of Northumberland, .Who tells me some seven or eight years „age he was 4 supervisor on thelVeet Branch—qhat then he re ceived two dollars per day, for every day be re turned.under sails- as having been employed in the busbies of the Commonwealth, Now the safxe . otlicer receives $l, 50 per day fur' every day in the year, and perhaps threedimrths of the time engaged in his own business. Here sir, Is anoth cr letter from•a gentleman of Huntingdon county. who states that the supervisor on ...the Allegheny portage receives a. 100 and is allowed two clerks at seven dollars per day, making for the three per sons eleven dollars every day: Now, sir, I have nothing Co nay against the gentleman who holds the eppointment of 'supervisor. 1 know hint well and favorahly; but I allude to the - nett° show what becomes of a portion of this four millions of revenue. Thera are-large stuns paid out of the Treasury fur the purposes of Education. For the support of colleges, academies and Female sent- inaries the sum of $40,077,06. Could not this appropriation be dispensed with? It has - been uiy own opinion for the last two . sessions that' it should arid, I shall most certainly vote hereafter to dispense witli this portion of the an nual appropriations. AIM I will' do so for the reason that the children educated in these estab. lislunents are of that class in society that, do mint need the protection ef an impoverished Treasury. Tim children of parents able •and competent to pay for their "education. The appropriation to common schools. is a matter of more moment : but even this system is most rifdicallriletective, and I very nitwit doubt, sir, that in many portions, of :the State it is attended with not much good.- 1 cannot, however, vote to rescind this branch of the public expenditures till a substitute of some kind be provided. The system of edue-ition is" the last tleit should be made a matter of dollars and eons. The character of the nation depends, on the intelligence of the people. The moment the public 'Mod degenerates the consemiences are fearful, and therels 110 subject connected with thn revenue and expenditures oldie public monies which should be more earthily considered. .• have, sir, a plan of my owti on the subject of a system of public education that, at a more prof - or occasion, I will lay bawc the House; Mr. Speak er, this is !tot the source of. complaint. The tax , payers of the commonwealth do' not complain of b/zit:ion, but it is the' profligate waste of the pub. lie money. Examine the petitions, memorials, proceedings of public meetings and there is but one voice—we are willing to 'pay taxes.-eve con demn the idea of -repudiation ; bit retrench—re fin-in—curtail the public ,t;genacs. This bill metiO -the question! Why not make it the law of the land. Ii reduces the sahry of the Exec .utive to three thousand dollars; the. Judges of the Sitpretne Court to $l,BOOl tho Associate Judgws of the Court of Common Pleas to $1000; the Secretary of the Commonwealth $1.200; the Auditor General to $1,200 ; the Secretary of -thu-Land-thlice-tms E00,0; - the - Strite - Tfeasurer to sl,`_oo; the Adjutaitt iTenciid to $400; the • Attorney General to $225 ; the chief clerk in each or the departments to $800; thd'Scoretary of the Heard of Candi Commissioners to $800; the Clerk of each House to $3 per day, and a sal ary.of $2OO ; the principal Engineer of the State to $1,000; Members of. the Legislature to $2 per day—and the some deduction is curved out in all the subordinate of in the Commonwealth—• collectors, supervisois; lock keepers, weigh mas ters, &.c. As to thb salary of the Governor it may be said it should not he, reduced ; that is a small matter. think, sir, tiiere is but the aception of the State of Louisiana that pays a larger salary to this officer than this State. But it is no tune to go abroad to hunt up 'standards by which to measure the salaries of our ptiblic offices! The. work should be begun. Our necessities are great, and the demands of the people, are not to ,go un heeded. Were our present days, days of pros perity and plenty, it would be different. There is no spot in this wide: Commonwealth - hut - feels tha lami of oppression and. severity of the thncs.— 'low different the commer s cial and trading corn. munity compared with our better ye.— It is not long since J. passed through Market st. in Philadelphia, and I felt sir, like being in a. dc sorted city. The bustle - and noise and mum film of that emporium of business has ceased-- How was, it ten years agh But, sir, to return. .1 notice in the public peneitures the sum of $3,911 66 paid for clerk hire in the office of the Auditor General.. That' there is much to be done in that department I. have no doubt; but is that not nil exorbitant yuin for clerk hire in a single department. A fraction short of :$6,000 !"fhere is, 'skt,,over twenty thousand dollars paid for, clerk hire in the ' several departments, canal commisaioners, I do not pretend to say but what the services, of a .portion of them' is required, burthe - amount paid must he reduced.

By a stubborn perseverance in the present pi s on of administering tlio — govern, I ment—the party in power tu.day will be in the minority.to.morrow ! There can be no question 'of that. Econotny is an article in our creed— and your pensioned paupers may condeniri it, but it is nevertheless true—aye sir, true. to the letter. I will not be drilled into .any measure which tends to conceal or cover up the waste of the pub lic fluids, ! , • ~. , Gentleman May well , disclaim against repudi ation ;'so do 1 in,.my place this day a but let them suggest how the debt is to be paid! . In 1841,. we pn'ssed a tux bill to meet the .payment of in. terest on the public debt. In .1842 we doubled that tax to meet the interest on' the public debt! And yet we find nearly two millions .of interest due and unpaid, in a single year.. Sir, I vote for no more taX'atien till I know how the . nroney is to be appropriated , and yet I would go as far to save the sinking,credit of the Commonwealth as any gentleman here—sir, my views on repudiation ~re..linowif in this liiiii;Foind I trust, - -ta.the_peu.i. ph: of the State.

'Can it be. expected that the people will submit to an onerous and ex cessive taxation to pay the public. debt and learn from year to Year that the wants of th e govern ment consume it all. Your collectors' warrants will be regarded:as blank paper in the hands - c.f the officer, and the very name of tax-gatherers will become odious to the people.

He was recognized as Charles G. Corliss, proprietor of the Bowling Saloon in the basement of 360 Broadway, and brother of the one-WhOse establishment is in the same building with the American Museum. Immediately aftor, • a five. barrel pistol was picked up in the street with one charge exploded and the other barrels loaded and capped. Dr. Putnam immediately examined his body, and found that he had been shot with a ball, which had passed through his bat, entering the 'rear part of the hind near the beim of the scull, in an upward direction; . and lodged in the brain. Corliss being unable to speak,he probed the wound with se.ver pencil, and found that it exiended its whole length. He had fallen upon his face, and caused a severe contusion on his forehead. The Tribune of Thursday says :The excite. ment consequent on the mutder in the public street, of this man, continues undiminished, and appears rather to increase in intensity,as the mys tery that enshrouds the bloody deed, thiCkens a round the yet Unelscertained author of the trans actiOn. The tbstirtiony giyen yesterday evening and previously, before the Coroner, will tell - What proircss:has been made towards the discovery of lilt 'real perpetrator. Though far from . decisive, . • it is. censidered many'as sufficient to fix , strong suspicion Mrs . . Colton ; who they suppose was prompted to the act by the feelings imparte'd to her by her husband, whose wrongs, together with her own, whether real or ideal, she was induced froni her peculiar situation to attempt to avenge, Whether Mrs. Colton, however, was the authoress ni` the death of Mr: .C orlies or 9t, rdmains to be proved—aS no one can or ought to be punished on mere suspicion however strong, in the absence of any legal evidence or guilt. Report states, that some time since, Mr. Colton instructed his wife in the use of the pistol, teaching her to fIM at targets, in which it is said she' attained no incon. sideyable'prticision.' It is also inferred from the fact of Mr. Coltdh having previimsly attempted to shoot Mr. Corlies fur the alienation of his wife's affections, and his being held to bail in $5OOO to answer,—that being thus prevented from carrying out his own purposes of vengeance he would still endeavor to do by proxy what he was so willingly re.drained 'limn doing himself; the more especially as he would thereby ,escape a Conviction for the sttempteqbomicicie; have been al most inevitably certain li - ali the life of -Corlics not been taken. .• In regard to Calton; ihdepenifearof his profes sion and practice as a gatilbler, his charaCter is said to be as respects his veracity, honesty in his dealings, punctuality in meeting all his engage ments, all honor, as it is understood by men of his caste : lie possessed great decision and error. -gy of character, rose from an humble. to a highly respectable standing as, to property,&e..by a close attention -to his business as a skilful bank note engraver, nr which he was successfully employed for several years for banks in BoSton, Providence, and elsewhere, until le tormed a connection in business with Mr, R. Parsons a wealthy sporting gentleman, of Providence, his present associ4te and partner in this house in Vescy street, with whom he removed to this 'city some five .or six years ego. and commenced that system ofsplordid 'sporting' as it is Called, by which they have both become enriched. Mrs. Colton, we have been in formed since our last !toffee, was a native eficill ingly,Ccinneetieut, witenCC - slie removed to Provi dence, and thence tti Boston, anti long after her marriage was not only a lovoly looking but an amiable and highly esteenfetf woman ; and if she has become the vile creature that she is repro. rented to be, her deplorable change of character is attributed to the lawless business of her hug band, which more than any other,tends to harden the heart, and to destroy all the best affections of Inimanity., Cold and chihlifig neglect, if she be cause the moral ruin she is charged to be, must have driven her to seek those sympathies id guilt Oh a paramour, which- she could not obtain in innocence, in the once cherished society of her husband.
