WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 9, 1856 THE LARGEST AND CHEAPEST NEWSPAPER JUM BERLAND COUNTY \ Terms —Two Dollars a'year, or One Doitar and Fifty Cents, if paid punctualb in Advance. $ 1 75, tf paid wit—iu the yea?. )t,llre are indebted to Mr. Harper Of the House of Representatives for legis lative documents. se—Advices from Washington indicate the election of a Speaker before the close of the week, either by the giving-way of democratic members or by the adoption of the plurality rule. GOB'. POLLOCIt.'S MESSAGE The recent annual message of Gov. Pollock receives the warmest elicomiums from the press, not only of his own party, but particularly from the independent papers. The Philadelphia Ledgrr, al though taking exception to the Gover n:)r's views relative to the• Banks, says ''the message is very well written, and its suggestions generally are of a practi cal and ireful character, showing a gen erous heart as well as a patriotic spirit." The -Vork Anii;ri,wn says "it is a welt, 'written document." The Llu; rer . says "the style is clear and vigorous, the tone is frank and manly, and the suggestions arc appropriate and enlightened." The Xcws says "it is an able and statesman like document—written in excellent style, the subjects referred to are discussed in a clear and perspicuous manner, and the sentiments expressed are such as will command very general approval." The Bulletin is "disposed to regard it as one of the best of our State papers." MORE LEW SLATIVE COMPLICATION .—The New York Assembly is in the same tix as the House of Representatives at Washington. The New York Thur..; says it is quite likely, that if it could be done successfully, the Republicans and Democrats would unite upon a candidate for speaker ;—butit is believed that if such a union should be attempted, part of the Deinuct'ats would refuse to join it, anti it would then be fruitless. The can didates for speaker are (DELL, Ameri can; PENDEttcatAsT, Republican, and BAILEY, Democrat, who re spectively carry about 40, 34 and 30 votes, out of the 128 which compose the ' House, the rest being scattering. DEATH OF AN EMINENT STATESMAN .—Telegraphic advises front Savannah, Georgia, announce the death, at his resi dence in that city, on the Ist instant, of the lion. ,John Macpherson Berrien, known to the country as President Jack son's first Attorney General, and subse quently as a distinguished and leading tae nber of the Senate of the United States and of the Whig party• Il s high intellectual qualities Were in halmony with the virtues which adorned his char acter, and whirl.} appropriately belong to a statesman and jurist. Judge Berrien, we believe, had reached the ripe age of 75 or 7G years. nounEs OF SPEECII.—Iicv. '3lr. AVadswoyth, of Philadelphia, remarked in a Thanks ,, ivine berutnn that if the for eign immigration were one hundred times its present amount it could not be dan gerous; to this country. The IVirth Anvrican, commenting upon this decla ration, quietly disposes of it by sayim , that last year the whole. IMmber, of rm ei,m immigrants was about 450,000. One hundred. times that number would b e 4."),t410,0tt0, or m;arly double the hi tHs M. BOTTS, has written nn admira -1 3 letter advising the „members of the merican party at the South to consent i the excision of the Twelfth Section f on the Philadelphia Radom ; and he dares himself, incidentally, against all itforms as the basis of party action. t! believes that all abstract notions of avert' are out of place in these declara • ms of political principle, and predicts I at if the South insists on the Twelfth rticle the American Order will becomes,, a merely sectional party, and lie defeated every Southern State.
