counties of the State, Op requeiled_to,haye,lke,,
memorials adopted by Ala dinvention, to the
Legislature of this State and Congress ef„.the,
United States, circulated and signed: . and for- ,,
warded tp the respective bodies for which they
are intended.
Resolved, That it is the opinion of this
Convention that ..papers should be allowed to
circnlate free of postage within the Congres—
sional Districts in Which' they are respectively
published ; and that such a law would meet
the almost unanimous approbation of the pro
• pie, and tend to disseminate intelligence
among them. • •
Resolved, That we respectfully request the
members of
. Scgin limp our State to use
their influence for the passage of a law in
conformity with the above resolution.
Resolved, That in States wherci:44,,law,s
of the Legislature are published in. the papers
of the State, it is found not materially to in
crease the coat of their publication, but it most
effectually spreads the laws before the whole
people, and gives them the knowledge thereof,
of which they otherwise remain Ignorant.
Resolved, That in the opinion of this Con
tention,the Legislature of Pennsylvania would
be conferring a great benefit upon the people
of this State, by • passhhg s law which would
authorize the publication of general laws in
the papers of the whole Commonwealth, and
those of local bearing, in the papers cireula
. ting in the district to which the law is inten
ded to apply.
Resolved, That as'ignoranee of the law is
no excuse against its violation, the law-ma

The following memorials to the Legislature
and to Congress, were adopted by the Conven
tion,
and the committee appointed, authorized
to affix their names thereto, in, behalf of the
Convention
To. the - Honorable, the Senate and House ot
Representatives, of Pennsylvania:
GENTLEMEN :—The undersigned, appoint
ed a cur:unlike by an Editorial. State Conven
tion, held at Harrisburg, on the Ist of Janua
ry, 1850, beg leave respectfully to request
your attention to the propriety of publishing
all laws ut a, general character, in the English
and . Germati papers throughout the Common
wealth, at the expense of the State ; and also,
that of requiring laws of a local nature, to be
published in the newspapers in' the vicinity
interested therein, at the expense of the
entity or panics concerned.. This is now
the law in several of our sister States, inclu•
ding New York., New Jer h ey and Ohio ; and
as it is the only method by Which the pdople
of the State can be generally informed of .the
character of our laws, we would think its
adoption judicious and proper.
We are aware thatobjections may be urged
against this proposition, on the grounds of the
expense that must necessarily attend it.--
This objection, however, could, and we think
should be obviated. A large sum is annually
expended in the publication of our laws and
journals in German—of which few, if any
copies are sold in the year." The amount of
money that could he saved to tire State, by
curtailing the Gorman publications as Tar as
practicable, and some of the other expenses
of the goverment that can be done without
detriment to the public interest, would nearly
defray the expenses of the publication refer
red to.
Your serious attention is respectfully, but
earnestly requested to the subject. The lowa
by which the people must be governed, should
be universally made known. It is alike due
to those who govern, and to. the governed ;
and we are fully persuaded that if curried into
effect, with a proper observance of economy,
it will meet the hearty approval of your con•
alituents.
(Signed by the Committee.)
• To the Honorable the Senate and House of
Representatives of the United States in
Congress Assembled.
At a Contention of the Editors of Pennsyl
vania, held at Harrisburg, on the Ist inst., the
undersigned were appointed a committee to
memorallze your honorable bodies, for the
passage of an act permitting the free circula
tion of newspapers within the Congressional
District where they are printed. The pas
sage of such an act Is asked by the people of
every section of the Commonwealth. Under
existing laws, taxing newspapers for any dis-
tance, however short, and allowing the city
papers to be carried and distributed gratui
tously outside of the mails, the chime resi
dent in.the interior of the State are subjected
f l
to amonerous taxation, and thd country Press
is seriously injured. Such a clog upon the
dissemination of useful and general intelli
gence should not be suffered to exist. No
undue advantage should be extended to one
portion of the public press at the expense of
another. TIM general education of the'peo.

Strange Doings in Pittsburg
(Itr-The municipal election which intik,
place in Pittsburg, on Tuesday last, resulted
in the defeat of both the Whig and Locofoco
candidates, and the success of d man named
Joseph Barker, who had for some time been
confined in jail, to which he had been sen
tenced for a year, for creating a disturbance
by preaching in the streets of that city against
the Catholic Church. The language used
by Barker on these occasions was violent
and inflammatory, and very often obscene in
character. The sentence was however re
garded as rather more severe than the of
fence meitted, and the interference of the
Executive was solicited in a petition signed
:by 9500 of the people of Pittsburg, including
among the number many of its most respec
table citizens. Gov.. Johnston yielded to
these solicitations ar.d granted Barker a par
don on the day previous to the election, 'in
formation of which reached Pittsburg by tel
egraph on Monday evening, and he was dis.
charged, Iron prison on the
.morning of the
election. His friends had previously place']
him in nomination as the "people's midi.'

'ority of 273 over his highest competitrjr,

Apart from the acknowledged unfitness of
Barker for.a fan and impartial - discharge of
the duties to which he has just been chosen,
the result of this election is greatly to be dep
recated, and will .undoubtedly be regretted
when the hour of calm reflection comes.—

both branches of the City Councils,

D ESTRUCTION OF THE AbAMB COUNTY JAIL
—About three o'clock on Monday morning
of last week, says the Gettysburg Compiler,
fire was seen issuing from the window in
the second story of the Jail of this county.—
The alarm was at once given, but all the
efforts of -the firemen and citizens were
unable to stay the progress of the devouring
element. Nothing is now lett of the build
ing but the blackened walls. 'But most mel
ancholy to relate : two human lives were
lost by the catastrophe—lSAAC MURSELMAN
and JOHN TONER, both insane- and confined
for' safe keeping, each occupying a seperato
room. - E - veify effort in the power of man
wailtrniide use of to rescue them from
. a fate
so terrible . , but in vain.''The immense vol
ume of smoke leaning from their apartments
was perfectly suffocating, and those who at
tempted to enter were driven back 'stagger
ing. It is therefore evident the deceased
had expired from suffpcation'ere their rooms
were reached. Eventually the body of
Toner Was recovered, but Pie was totally
extinct—and a portion of that of Musselman,
alter the falling in of the building. How ter
rible their death. The fire originated in
Musselman''s room, btit how, is left to conjec
ture alone.

and uttering the most opprobilons epithets,
such as "you're the ',map that cutup Dr.

his‘Aninial Message that over four hundred
dolltiEsi f harl,been. : apptopriated,lo .
pay the public debt, announcetl what was
not true, And it 'does this' by stating that
Gay. Johnston in his Message this year pla
ced the present l debt. at $40,574,413 45,
while' in his message laslYear he stated the
debt on December 1, 1848 to be 849,424,-
786 98—making the debt due now greater
than it was a year ago. The matter is ex
plained asCws
' The Pen sy/vanian on referring to the Gover
nor's mesa _last year—es he should have
done to ascertain the truth of the charge—
would have found that the Governor had riot at
that time counted al/ the liabilities of the Slate,
but only so many as had been returned to him.
During the winter it was discovered that a debt
r.;.~ ~.
. `'~ti
of $367,642 38 hod been contracted on the pub
lic works by a Locoloco Board of Canal Com
missioners, the existence of which was not
communicated to the Governor. Of course this
amount was not counted in summing up the
debts of the State. Also in the message last
year the unfunded debt on Jan. 1,1849 was pla
ced at $1,031,386 00. This was not high
enough. In that funded debt the relief notes in
circulation were put down on Jan. 1, 1899, at
$702,664. The fiscal year commences on the
first of December, and although the above
amounts:represented correctly the value of re
lief notes in circulation at thel rime the mes
sage was communicated, yet during the month
of Decemtler previous, $50,000 cif relief notes
were destroyed, of which no account had been
received:by the Governor. In presenting the
operations of the fiscal year those $50,900
should have been counted, and in connection
with the omission above of $367,642 38
would make the public debt on Dec. 1, 1843,
$417,692 38 greater titan it appeared in the
Governor's message. If this sum be added to
the amount he made it ($40,421,736 98) we
find that the public debt actually awing on Dec.
1, 1898, Was $40,842,379 36.
From the Governor's message and the doeu
mantis transmitted with It, we and that the debt
due on December 1, 1849, was 840,574,413 45
—less than that due this time last year by $267,
965 91. This was applied to the payment of the
payment of the public debt, and in addition
$ 227 , 5 13 53 were paid to the Commissioners of
the Sinking Fund, making a total amount ap
propriated durhig theear.lB49, 'toward paying
the State Debt, of 8i95,479 44. With the a.
iriount paid to the Sinking Fund, $258,500 00
of the funded debt of the State was purchased,
which amount, taken in connection with the
amount applied directly to paying the debt
($267,965 91,) makes a total of $521,465 86,
the amount of public debt actually extinguished
by the application if the $495,479 30 .to its
paymen
What lie the Locofocos will next' invent to
injure our worthy Governor in the opinion of
the people of the State we cannot say, tut of
one thing we -are—certain, that it will la e as
shallow as that we have just exposed. The
Administration have nothing to fear from a full
exposition of the affairs of the Stale, but they
have opponents as unscrupulous as any that
have ever assailed any administration.

there is a committee in the Senate which will

upon the fairness of the Speaker of the Sen

Mr. Meek, of Centre, an old-fashioned
original, who is mortr'familiarly known as
"Father Meek," the other day introduced
reeolutions requesting our government to
suspend diplomatic Intercotirse with Austria.
They were introduced for , the purpose of
backing .3r, Cron. Cass' movement in the U.
S. Senate,-and their passage in such a loco.
lift House as this would not have surprised
.me at all. But 1 was surprised when Mr.
Brower, of Butler, offered n more sensible
amendment instructing Our Senators and
Representatives ((to use all honorable exer
tions to prooure the passage of a resolution
expressing the disapprobation of the Amer.
ican people, and their- deep abhorrence of
the barbarous course pursued by the Austrian
and Russian governments towards the brave,
unfortunate' and patriotic Magyars, in the
recent struggle for militiasl freedcm;"-1
repeat that I was surprised to find the House
sustaining this amendment, and rejecting
Mr. Meek's proposition, 'as they did by a
decided majority-! Mr. Clay's brief speech
on this 'subject has izet a good many persons
right, whose feelings had grown very savag
erous about the duelty of Austria. While
Meek's resolution was under debate, one of
the bright members from Berke submitted
an amendment instructing our government
to send a ship of the line to Turkey, to
demand and transport to this country without
ldelay the illustrious Kossuth and his nompan
ions, ! Mr. Allison, of Beaver, a
waggish . member suggested that one ship
was not enough, but the whole Navy_ ought
to be ordered out to perform the duty. When
the vote was taken the bright member from
Berks stood the alone,star" of the yeas !
Immediately alter this debate resolutions
against flogging in the.Navy.were taken Op.
James Madison Porter opposed them. Our
State Legislature had nothing to do with such
subjects. The Judgegoes akiiinst all instruc
ting resolutions. As-hias
afraid to take a decided stand, he wants to
lay a grghpifor declining to support some
Tariff intAtiffig resolutions that will be in
troduced after a while. So it is intimated.—
His peculiar course has caused a _,good deal
ot-speculation among the politicians.
Every now and then some circumstance is
developed -showing that our State govern.
meet, like the government at Washington,
is troubled with defatitter4, A resolution of
inquiry in the Senate by Mr. King, asks for
information about the defalcation of Jacob
Salted°, the late loccrloco Surveyor General.
In the State Library too it has been Well as
certained there has been rid little corruption
and fraud practiced. A communication was
received on Wednesday, in the Senate, from
the State Treasurer, communicating a list of
the public defaulteis to the Slate. Now it is
to be hoped that energetic action will bo ta
ken to recover the monies thus lost, and to
punish the depredators. Where the people
pay as heavy taxes as they do here, the pub.
lie treasury ought to be guarded with more
thin ordinary strictness. Our tax payers can
not afford to have their money stolen.
The Judiciary Committee in the Senate,
of which Mr. Muhlenburg (locofoco) is the
head, reported on Tuesday against a Home
stead Exemption law. After some debate,'
in which various opinions were expressed,
the subject was postponed. On the same
day the recent judicial nominations by the
Executive 'Jere la'vorably reported upon.
In the Houde, Mr. Laird, of Westmoreland

Dear Sir—The able, eloquent•pnd efficient
locolOcn members from your county have not
yet done much. However they will doubt.
less yet make themselves heard and felt.—
One of them you know is to be a yearling,
As:per resolution of the last locoloco County
Convention, and they are therefore watching.
each' other very close to see that neither
gains any advantage which oan be used at
home. I shall endeavor to do justice to
their "sayings and doings," and shall proba
bly be able to show before the end of the
session that it will be wisest for the people
to make "yearlings" of both. The only bu
siness ironi our county that 1 notice so far, is
an application froth Christian Eberly to com
pel the Canal Commissioners to settle his
claim for damages. Also, a supplernem,
reported by Mr. Church, to the act relathie
to the organization of .Courts of Justice, and
changing the time of holding Come!. in Cum
berland county. • •
A tstlebate took place in the Senate, on
Friday, on a proposition by Mr. Drum, to
raise a committee of three to inquire what
amendments to the Constitution have been
suggested. by the experiefice of the last tens"
years. This caused a debate, and the reso
lution was opposed by a number of Senators,
who seemed to regard it as a movement fors'
getting the Elective Judiciary. proposition
into the hands of a committee, who might
change its character and make it necessary
to commence proceedings de novo. It ap
peared in the course of -the debate that Mr.
Drum was opposed lo Ice election of Judges.
The debate continued till the hour of -adjourn
ment.
In the House, Mr. Cornyn, of Huntingdon,
who I believe studied law in Carlisle, and
who is a young member of fine talents, re
plied to Judge Porter on the subjectrof legis
lative instructions, in. a very effective and
eloquent speech. It is rather singular that
locofoeos should be found Opposing the
"right of instruction," which they clamored
so loudly for a - lew years ago. How many
of its
.'!principles" has loccifocoism abandon
ed within a few years? I have not time to
.enumerate, but every reader of my letters
will find it both curious and interesting to
review the tortuous course of the locofoco
party for a few years past, and see how. rea
dily it casts off and puts on, as if principles'
were like old garments. Yours, in the
staunch Whig faith, . OUTSIDER.
Correspondence of the Herald.
FROM WASHINGTON.
-WASHINGTON, Jan. 12. 1850.
Dear Sir—lt Is now pretty well understood
that Gen. Case' proposition to suspend diplo
matic intercourse with Austria, cannot pass.—
At first thought it seemed likely to carry the
popular feeling by storm, but the plain and sen
sible iiife`;ehes of Mr. Clay and others, have
shown that It would not only be like "cutting
off our nose to spite our face," but that it would
be very presumptuous in us to set up such a
censorship over the morale and conduct ot the
"reel of mankind." By consent of Gem. Case
it is said, the resolution has been laid over fur
ii, while, for the ostensible purpose of allowing
"the people" in their State Legislatures to
speak out qpon it. But here again the tiqfor
tunate mover will find that in the words of tho
popular song:
"Poor Lewis Cass
Ho cannot pass"—
for this evening's Mail brings up the intelli
gence that Pennsylvania has already told hint
that ho "'toed not stand knocking at do door"
with any such. resolution fur her concurrence
That it is a shallow attempt to make political
capital for tho next Presidency is now readily
soon, and as such it is treated by every high
mindod man. "Hangman Poore;' of. Anemia
sippi, attempted to reply to Mr. Clay, but the
effort only sunk him into deeper contempt.
It is now intimated that the proposition will
liesubstantially carried Dither by rojeoting
'Col. Webb, the charge to Austria, or by with
holding any appropriation for his salary. Mr.
Seward, of New York, has in the meantime
Mimed a more appropriate testimonial of our
sympathy with the brave Hungarians, by pro:-
posing a resolution in which:Alio barbarities of
Austria and Russia are properly rebuked, and
tho Committee on the Public Lands directed to
enquire into the propriety of giving a portion of
our public lands to the exiles of Hungary al.
toady arrived and. others who may come. I
doubt not it would entirely accord with the
wishes of our people to do 'so. This would bp
substantial sympathy with q t erry.

There is nothing new as to the complexion
of the Legislature, or tire probabilities as to
who will be chosen U. S. Senator.
Peace is maintained throughout the terri
tory,
Labor is becoming constantly cheyper at
San Francisco, on account of tire great num
ber of persons coming down from the mines
to spend the winter. and seeking occupation
in every department of industry.
The prices of vegetables hero are enor
mous, owing to their scarcity, arid, in fact,
the necessaries of life generally are. much
higher than they were at this time last year.
Heavy boots are now selling at San Fran

The growth or this city is still without

Commerce with oilier ports is growing
more and more active, and the Bay no lon
ger presents the spectacle of a desert of
active shipping. The departures of vessels
during the month of NeveMber equalled the
arrivals in.numbet ; and the wade with all
parts of the Pacific 18 not only becoming ac•
live but regular, and is steadily undergoing
g vast increase.
I:'' The last of the overland emigration th at is
. 1o• be expected this year, has crossed the
Sieira Nevada. _

Those e migrants who came by the Truck
er river and S.ilmon river routes, have reach.
ed the settlements. About 70 teams who
came by way of Samson's Pass, were caught
by the snows on the mountains, and at tire
last accounts were in the bead waters. of
Deer Creek.'. Major Rutter, with a suffi
cient party and all needful supplies, left Sac
ramento city for their relief.
The rainy season basset in, and'has made
the grounds among the mines as well as the
roads thither, impassable in many' places.
A great number 'of the Miners are without
their , usual supplies, and have no means of
obtaining necessaries. There will be much
suffering if the roans do not become better.
Freight from Stockton to the Diggings is
75 cents per pound.
Flour at Stockton is Si per pound, and
other articles in the same proportion.
The quantity of gold dug still continues to
increase.. s Tlie yield of the River .Bars is
great; they - are - as riqh as ever.—Companie:
are now being formed to work the strata of
quartz, which arc very rich in gold. Tests
which have been made in San Francisco
give tram one dollar and a half to three dol
lars' worth of gold from every pound of
quartz.
The steamers Sonata and McKim are
both now running , on the Sacramento, and
the former boat is making-a profit of $lOO
per month. (The Telegraph is no doubt
wrong here, but we give the figures as it
reports them. The Senator is more proba
bly clearing $lO,OOO a month than any other
sum.—Eds. Tribune.)
The carpeiners at- Sacramento City made
a strike for higher wages, as they now only
got $l2 a day ; whereupon the contractors
settled the difficulty by raising their ,ages
to $l6.
The weather here is delightful. The air
is bland and balmy as _in Italian summer,
and the hills around the bay are already cov
ered with a fresh crop of grass.
You is truly, BAYARD TAYLOR.

The Steamer 'Cherokee ['Hived at New
York on Sunday, from Chagres.
The Alta Californian of December Ist,
says that.the setting in of the rainy season
has been the signal for the abandonment of
digging in most parts of the mines, and the
miners are employed in preparing Winter
quarters.
The present population of California, in
eluding the overland emigration, is thus sum
med up by the Alta California.—Americans
82,000 ; Californians, 13,000; Foreigners
