Drum, Esq., our Senatorial Rep resentative will accept our thanks for a valuable public document. n"The able publishers of the Harris burg Keystone have made arrangements to publish that paper twice a week during :the session, in order to enable them to give more full and correct reports of the proceedings of the Legislature. The ' Democratic Union will also, as usual, be published semi-weekly during the session of the Legislature. These papers are both ably conducted and are worthy of extensive patronage at the hands of the democracy of Pennsyl vania. Two dollars during the session or three dollars per annum. Governor's Message. We this week lay before our readers the message of Governor Johnston. It is not very long, yet it excludes our U:ual varie y. It will be seen that the Governor endeavors to make the peo ple "believe that he conducted the affairs of Government with unexampled economy and that he is therefore entitled to great credit. We are not prepared to contradict his statements, but admitting them to be true, we are at a loss to know how it is when he states that $926,207 24 remained in the Treasury on the first of December, that the State Treasurer has been unable or unwilling to pay out to the proper dis bursing officers the amount appropriated by. the last Legislature for the payment of Domestic creditors on the public improve ments. It is generally known that the Superintendents and Supervisors on the public works, have had the money appro priated for their disbursement, dealt out to them very sparingly during the past sea son, and that a large amount remains still unpaid. This one cucumstance alone, leads us to believe, that an effort has been made on the part of the Governor and the .Treasurer to deceive the public in rela tion to the actual condition of the finances of Pennsylvania. However, throwing aside its unfair and bunkum statements, the message is pretty ably written, and worthy of a perusal. Pennsylvania Senate. - The report which we published in our last relative to the election of a speaker of the Pennsylvania Senate turns out to be correct. The whigs united on Valentine Best, and with the assistance of his own vote, he elevated himself to the Speaker's Chair. It is believed that this corrupt bargain, disgraceful alike to Pennsylvania a nd the members engaged in it, was long since consummated, and the election of the officers, and the formation of the Com mittees of the Senate have since exhibited the conditions of the contract. The whigs have gained one half of the officers of the Senate and the control of all the important committees, as will be seen below. In his anxiety to get into the Speaker's Chair, Valentine Best has disgraced him self, betrayed his constituents, and desert ed his party, and rendered his very name hateful in the eyes of all honest men. It is to be regretted that such political scoun. drels can occasionally worm themselves into the confidence of the,' people and gel elected to posts of honor and responsibi!i ty which enables them to bring disgrace upon themselves and those they represent. And we sincerely hope that the Democrat ic press of Pennsylvania will expose the traitor to the gaze of an indignant public. Let him be kicked out of the party, nolens, volpns, and let him find his proper level, amongf men destitute of principles. The man who would sellhis constituency for a mess of pottage is unworthy the associa tion of honest men, no matter to what party they belong, for even the whigs, although they admire the treason must despise the traitor. The following arc the MOUNTAMCTINEL committees in the Senate, and it will be seen that Best lias performed his part of the disgraceful contract. The whigs are placed in italics.

In another proceedings Court House We hope our readers abroad will not con. slder the resolutious adopted as embody ing the sentiments of the mass of the people of Cambria county, for such is not the case. In our next wc will show how it was gotten up, by whom, and how or ganized, and we will also publish the re port of the minority of the committee on resolutions, but at present the crowded state of our columns forbids us doing any thing more than merely alluding to it. Take it altogether, it was one of the most ludicrous eiTairs we have witnessed for a long time, and the efforts that were made to get it organized reminded us of the operation cf pulling teeth every man appearing disposed to have nothing to do with it. Onr Court But two or three small cases have been disposed of at the time of our going to press. The case of the Commonwealth vs. Johnston M'Kee, who was indicted for passing counterfeit money, has occu pied the Court since Tuesday. Great exertions were made on the part of his counsel to have the case put off, but with out success. We tlrink it will be conclu ded to-day. There is so much criminal business before the Court this Term that it is probable no civil case will be reached. Congress- There is nothing of importance doing in Congress. The Senate is considering the appointments of Gen. Taylor, and discus sing the propriety of refusing all intercourse of a diplomatic character with Austria. The House, on Monday last, were still balloting for Clerk, which appears to be almost as troublesome a matter as the elec tion of Speaker. Col. Forney of Penn sylvania, was ahead but wanted 4 votes more to elect, which we hvae no doubt he would receive on Tuesday-"" ' OCrTwenty-five Morman preachers ar- rived at St. Louis from Salt Lake on the 30th ult.

It is said that the price of labor is deter mined by the relations of demand and sup ply, end that a heavy demand, compels (high wages, Here then appears an im- portant dilference between the ways in which capital and labor are respectfully protected. Capitalists are protected by law, and laborers are protected by the fluctuating contingencies of demand and supply which are controlled much more by other circumstances than they are by tariff laws. And even the advantages that might arise from an increased demand for labor are defeated by the common customs of the country, of which the law takes no notice. Employers in general furnish merchan dise and provisions for the use of their laborers, and employ none to labor, but those who will agree to take their living in trade from them. This trade is invari ably sold to the laborer at a price dictated by the employer, and this is from 25 to 50 per cent dearer than the currant price of the articles sold and purchased. Here again there is but one independent party to the agreement between them. The employer has both sides of the bargain in his own hands and he ballancesthe wages of labor and the price of provisions in such a manner that the one just covers the other and squares the books at the end of the month or year. Under these circumstan ces the actual wages of the laborer, and consequenjly his pecuniary condition, is precisely the same, whether his nominal wages be one dollar per day, or "two dol- ! lars a dav and roast beef." In the former case he must have a living for his dollar per day, and the latter, lie swallows up his roast beef, and the roast beef swal lows up the two dollars and leaves nothing behind. In this mode of protecting labor ers the capitalist has a double interest. First, he enriches himself by taking all the profits of the poor man's labor, and sec ondly, lie keeps him bound in the fetters of necessity so that he is obliged to labor on under the same system of oppression. Now is this protection, or is it slavery? It cannot be slavery, of course because our white laborers are "free and independent citizens." It must therefore be protection and let us see what vast advantages it has over real bonafied chatile slavery. In the first place the "protected citizen and the chattle slave are both bound to give a life time of hard and incessant labor for the In the second place, under the infirmities of age and physical debility, the chattle slave is bound to be kept by his master; but the protected citizen laborei, if he have not friends to maintain him, must become a pauper. Here the slave has the advan tage. And lastly, in regard to legal fran. chises, the slave cannot vote at all, and the protected laborer dare not vote as he pleases. The tyranny, instead of protection, ex ercised in this latter particular is much more formidable and dangerous than is I generally imagined. I hope I will be per. mitied to give an instance that occurred in my own experience, to illustrate the mat tcr. In the year 183G I was engaged as a taoorer in an iron csiaonstnnen; m i -a. The presidential election was then pend !inr, and there went out a decree from 'Nicholas Biddle that the whole nation should be starved or yield its support to iGen. Harrison, who, it was promised 1 would sanction a re-charter of the U. S. Bank. A regular system was secretly or ! ganized and employers throughout the coun try were duly notified, and enlisted in the cause. The hands of every establishment were told that without a recharter of of the bank, 6usiness could not be continued and there would no longer be employment for laborers. But the clerk at the establishment where I was engaged, had the imprudence to let me see his letter of instructions on the subject. I of course regarded the whole thins: as a species of the most cruel and intolerable tyranny, and was bound by every feeling of nature and duty to resist it at all hazards. I accordingly informed the hands belonging to the establishment of the means that were to be made use of to control iheir suffrages, and conjured them in the name of liberty and of their country to exercise the rights of freeman independently. But no sooner was this known to the manager than I was ordered forthwith to settlement and commanded to "shove the shoe" (as it was called) without even the filthy privilege of protecting my self over night in a colliers cabin. t ii 13 owing to me same system ot pro. j teclinj laborers at the hands of capitalists j that the panick cry of distress is raised j before every election to frighten laborers I itlt0 the support of measures to oppress T t - . .- ' themselves. For this parpoce during the la5;pres:dential campaign the fact of furnace "blowing out" to put iu a new hearth was heralded before the country as; a failure on account of the." tariff of 184G. It was also reported that money was col lected by private contribution to pay the expenses offending a boat load of foreign coal vthe Schuylkill to be sold in the neighborhood of the mines, at a m ere nominal price to frighten the miners into the support of Gov. Johnston and Genera 1 Taylor. And at the present time meet, ings and conventions of capitalists are be. ing held throughout the manufacturing States, falsifying' facts and passing reso lutions to try to pursuade or menace the people, mspite of their own experi ence, into the belief that they are ruined and miserable iy the effects of the tariff 1S16, hoping ; thereby to consummate a return to the principles of the tariff of 1912 which will, by means of specific duties, tax the necessaries of the poor and relieve the luxuries of the wealthy fro.ii thai responsibi lity. Oh bat then, says the protectionist, these alus?s are surely not all the effect? of protective tariffs. No; but they are some oflhe defects of them. Capitalists callioucly for increased protection under the humbugging pretence of enabling them :j protect laborers, and the foregoing are illustrious examples of the manner in which '.hey perform that duty when their demands are gratified. It is not measures for either preventing foreign competition or protecting domestic capital thai will ever protect laboring men. It must be measures that wil'l free them from the iron grispof capital, and shield them from the tyrannies with which it now, in spite of law or justice oppress them. These alone can ever reach them.

Foster, J. B. Onslow, A. Kope lin, Reuben Harris, Geo. Ilildebrand and Richard Doncaster. Robert L. Johnston, in a spirited and eloquent address, pointed out the necessity of pto'eccting our own manufacturers, mechanics, farmers and laborers, against labor of foreign countries. Geo. S. King also addressed the meet ing and said that the great prosperity and power of England, may be traced to the fbster.n'r care she has bestowed on her industrial pursuits. The Committee reported the following Preamble and Resolutions. "Whcreaa, we believe the right inherent ia ibe American people, peaceably to as semble, and freely to express their views' upon questions of national policy, as well I as ennn questions of local in terest. And whereas, the time is now at hand when our interests loudly call for a general and effective advocacy, against southern dicta tion and foreign influence. Therefore, Resolved, That it is the proper sense of this meeting, as well as the duty of Pcnnsylvartians to maintain those interests. Resolved, That we, as citizens of Cam bria county, located in a region of country abounding with mineral resources, inex- hiustable, upon a proper and effective developement of which our individual and collective prosperity depends, do entertain without regar d to party, feelings of the most unqualified disapprobation toward free trade in all its bearings, and that we will, unceasingly, importune our Repre sentatives" in Congress, to enact such a law as will amply protect alike the inter est of the farmer, manufacturer, mechanic and laborer. Resolved, That we instruct ourReprc i sentatives in the Legislature, in all cases to vote for and instruct our Representatives in Congress for a modification of the Tar iff of 184G. Resolved, That we arc in favor of no man w ho is not in favor of us. Resolved, That the proceedings of this meeting be signed bv the officers and pub- sit-.
