Legislative committee, were met at Tuscarora
by the train in which Gov. Bigler was going to

entered the car and was introduced to Gov. K.,

?VJK:.J am kappy to have met with so much
kindness and sympathy from the State of Penn

confidence bestowed upon them. I feel highly

hands of your excellency I will meet with the
sympathy and support so far as the interest and
welfare of the United States will permit of
that cause which I, in my humble capacity,
plead nctore the mighty and very generous peo

(ior. Bigler in reply s:dd :
Sir: It requires no assurance on my part, I
presume, at this day, to satisfy you that you
have the sympathies of the American people.

well aware that they nro with you aud your

iting here for the cause of your country, Itrast,
will soon become practical aid to the glorious

Cambria Kntire.
Wo sec by the rejiorts of the proceedings of
the Legislature, that efforts are being made to
dismember Cambria County. It is a mystery to
us why any sauc, sensible man should wish to
divide this Comity, now one of the smallest in
the State. Let us reason the case, .calmly and
eooly. First, iu point of population, we are
not entitled to a single member of the Legisla
ture, so we cannot be too much crowded; and,
in point of territory, nny common man can
v.alk "to the seat of justice in six hours, from the
farthest part of the County. And on what
grounds they can ask the division we cannot
for the life of us sec.
Wc are not jealous of the growth and pros
perity of Johnstown. On the contrary wc wish
it all success; but we unhesitatingly condemn
i all attempts at division, and would advise the
member who has this project in charge to attend
to the affairs of his own County.
, .legislative.
We have not yet received any news very im
portant from Harrisburg. The time of both
Houses has been occupied pretty much in the
consideration of bills entirely of a local or pri
v.-ite nature.
Is the Senate Gen. Packer has introduced a
bill to repeal the 4th and Cth Sections of the
Kidnnrninsr law of 1817. The attention of that
hodv h;i nlsa lipen nml f nlrr nn in tla '''"
sion of the bill relative to the Snnbury and Erie
Railroad. This is an important bill, which au-
thorizes corporations of all kinds to subscribe to
the stock of the road. An amendment offered by
Gen. Packer has been adopted, which provides
for submitting the question of subscription by
counties, &c, to a vote of the people. This,
however, is about to be re-considered.
The House, on Saturday last, passed a reso
lution calling upon the Canal Hoard for informa
tion relative to the expenses of the Portage Rail
road, with an estimate of the additional expense
and time required to complete that portion of
the work necessary to avoid the use of the In
clined ri mes Nos. 2 ami 3 with a continuous
road to the foot of No. 4.
A committee has also been appointed to visit
the Portage Road and examine its present con
dition. Mr. Blair, of Centre county, has introduced a
bill to prevent the immigration of negroes and
mulattoes into this State. This bill will be
found on our first page, and it is thought may
pass.
A number of bills for the re-charter of old
banks, as well as for some new ones have been
reported in both Houses, but we do not much
fear a paper currency being increased with Gov.
Bigler at the helm of State.
Tlie Alproiriation Hill.
We hope that the present Legislature will not
adopt the rules of the preceding ones, by lea
ving this important bill to the hurry and bustle
of the last daj' of the session. The committee
of ways and means is generally selected from
among the best and soundest men ef that body;
aud, although this is the case, still there should
be time allowed the Legislature itself to inves
tigate the Appropriation Rill in all its parts.
At the present time it is very important that
this bill should be reported early, as large sums
will, and ought to be, appropriated to the com
pletion of the North Branch Canal, and also
for finishing the Road to avoid the Planes on
the Portage Rail Road, so as to allow the mem
bers to make provisions to spend the money
judiciously and wisely.
Wc have too much private legislation; and
wc are decidedly of the opinion that less of
that, and more attention to the interests of the
State would be the legitimate business of our
State Legislatures.

Governor Hitler's First Veto.
On Thursday Governor Bigler sent to the
Senate a veto of a bill supplementary to the act
incorporating the Hanover Branch Rail Road.
The main object of the bill was not exceptiona
ble, but it seems to have been drawn in a loose
and careless mauuer, which might have con
ferred on the company powers highly objection
able. No limit appeared to have been fixed to
the bonds that the company were to issue, and
a construction might have been placed upon it
that would have given tin be bonds the charac
ter of a currency.

without proper restrictions, and to every move

rency; and in all these matters his efforts will
meet the hearty approval of the people.
At various periods in our history the people
of Pennsylvania have suffered so intolerably by
paper swindles, that they are exceedingly sen
sitive on this subject, and it will be highly grati

will spare no effort to keep our currency as near
the real specie standard as possible. Union.
Explanation ofCount Casimir Bat
tliyauys Letter.
The DemokraiUehtr Volkcrbund, published in
New York, states that Mr. Hubner, the Austrian
Minister at Paris, has received orders from Yi.
eiiiia to extcud the assurance of pardon to Hun
garian refugees who shall publicly assail Kossuth,
and that these orders expressly mention Count
Casimir Batthyauy. AVith such a pardon he of
course receive bai-k his large estates, which had
been confiscated. ; This explains the Count's let

utter contradiction of. hi previous actions and
opinion' which it couiaiiiK.: .
Gov. JSisler's Inaugural.
The Public Ledger, good authority on ques
tions of finance, currency and political economy
in general, thus endorses the sentiments tnd
opinions expressed in the Inaugural Address of
Governor Bigler:, :
" The .inaugural address of Gov. Bigler is a
death-knell in Pennsylvania to the speculators
in banking. He is in favor of a specie basis,
and opposed to correspondingly increasing the
paperssues with nny increase of the aggregate
stock of coin. There can. therefore he no
"free banking" in Pennsylvania with his as
sent, during his administration; nor will he fa
vor any legislation that will tend to expand the
currency, because the stock of coin may be
increased, lie truly considers the purpose of
a circulating medium to be a matter of conve
nience to tho people, and should be of just such
an cmount'os the transactions of wholesome
business may require, and no more. If the
coin increases, there is the less necessity for
paper. Ihese are Bound sentiments'," and if
carried out, will give us a currency of the best
character, and at the same time protect us from
th ose ruinous fluctuations those contractions
and expansions which, while they benefit the
few, carry loss and ruin to the many. He re
bukes gently though forcibly those gentlemen
who are continually clamoring for protection,
advocating an increase of banking and a larger
flow of paper money. lie shows what we have
often stated, that a redundant currency enhan
ces nominal values, and to a greater or less ex
tent nullifies any reasonable amount of protec
tion that our federal laws may enact for the
purpose. Instead of asking for more banks
and more paper money, the manufacturers aud
those persons who sympathise with their demand
for protection against foreign competition, to be
consistent, aud to render the discrimination in
our revenue laws in favor of domestic manu
factures most efficient, should be the advocates
of a steady, uniform and appreciated currency.
The more ' currency is depreciated the greater
nominal amount it takes to manufacture a yard
of cloth or to make a ton of iron, aud the more
do the makers of the cloth and the iron have to
give for the food on which they live, and the
raiment which they wear. In our home trans
actions, the result i3 pretty much the same,
whether the curruncy is cheap or dear. But it
so happens that the business of the country is
not w holly a domestic one. Wo trade with other
nations, and of some wc buy more than we sell,
and the difference has to be made up in moiey;
and our creditors iu such cases always discrim
inate, in our mixed currency, in favor of the
coin, rejecting the paper. So, that too nuch
paper works a double evil it prevents tho do
mestic manufacturer from producing as chtaply
as his foreign rival, and thereby makes an out
let for our coin, which still more depreciates
the currency, and, to the extent of the depreci
ation, further incapacitates the manufaciurer
from producing at such prices as will eiable
him to hold command of even his own market.
The new Governor wisely directs attention to
this Important feature of our mixed currency;
and as the manufacturers are generally armaig
the loudest of the clamorers for more banking
facilities, we trust they may be induced to look
into the inconsistency of their conduct, nd,
should they fail to reach the same conclusions
to which the Governor has arrived, they will at
least have respect for his opinions, and not seek
to make him as inconsistent as thdnselvcs, by
inluciug him to part from his present purpse.
Tho Governor truly says, " there is no more
dangerous political heresy taught in our land
than that the prosperity of the country is to be
created l y its legislation. A just policy can
only guard and protect the legitimate means of
production from special privileges the devices
of the cunning and the wicked. The people
should rely on their own individual efforts,
rather than the mere measures of government
for success." This is as wholesome as true.
Gov. Bigler, like the estimable Shunk, is in
favor of the individual liability on corporators
to the fullest extent."
destruction of tlie State B Souse at
Columbus, Olilo.
Colu.mlus, Ohio, Feb. 1. The old State House
was completely destroyed by fire this morning.
The fire broke out in the Senate Chamber about
-i o'clock, and before the flames could be reached
the heat had become so intense as to drive the
firemen and others to such a distance as to ren-
ler all efforts to save th building unavailing.
The desk of the Clerk of the House -was saved,
together with most of the valuable papers of the
body, but everything else was destroyed.
The Legislature will probably adjourn after
the reception of Gov. Kossuth, w ho is expected
here on Wednesday. The Odcon (Neill's) Hall,
or tho Supreme Court room will probably be
used for the meeting of the Legislature until
other arrangements are made.

B.ALTiMoiu:, Jan. 31. The New Orleans p:;pcrs
to the 2 1th were received this morning, bringing
dates from the City of Mexico, to the 28th De
cember. They represent the country generally
as quiet. The members of the new Congress
were gradually .arriving at the Capital. The
session was to commence on thc2d of January.
M. Ramirex would most likely be chosen Presi
dent of the Senate, and M. Puesta, of the House.
President Arista assisted at a grand bull fight
at the Capital on the 21st December, during
which a serious row occurred between the Mexi
cans and the Spaniards. President Arista was
among the foremost iu hissing the latter. The
riot was quelled without serious results.
Several revolutionary movements had occurred
in different . portions of the country. One had
taken place on the Isthmus of Tehauntepec,
headed by ex-Gov. Ortiz, but all had been put
down, though not without some fighting.

A powerful movement is now in progress in
England to extend the suffrage. To be a voter
in that country, a man must either occupy a
house at a rent of, ten pounds, or own land pro
ilucinjr' forty -shillings a year. Societies have
been formed called " Freehold Land Societies,"
for the purpose of purchasing estates and selling
them out again in lots of the required value, t
mechanics and others, at prime cost. . The idea
was originated by a Mr. James Taylor, four
years ago. The first meeting consisted of him
self and one other person, whose united capital
amounted to tiro shillings sterling. Says the
Weekly London Times:
"At this moment there are upwards of one
hundred societies in England and Wales, con
taining 43,000 members, who r have subscribed
for C5,000 shares. They have purchased one
hundred and fifty estates, and created no less
tnan ireeholds. I be immense sum of
400.000 has been actually paid up, and the
subscriptions exceed 2,000,000. In the year
just closed the fourth since the project was set
in motion there has been a large increase of
members, and the money actually l'eceived
amounts nearly to a quarter of a million sterling.
Already the political effects of the movement are
felt in several districts ; and in the divisions of
counties near Birmingham, where there has been
mo. vi activity, it is ociicvcu mat tuuvv.. 1..J.,
pendent freeholds have been created to wrest
the representation from the hands of the great
; hitherto nominated the noble
rable gentlemen sur-posed by
magnates who have
lordhr.gs and honorable gentlemen supposed by
a constitutional fiction to be sent into the Com
mons House of Parliament by. the people at
large. If the same rate of progress be main
tained for a few years longer, the English coun
ties w ill be enfranchised, and the people will be
able to dictate reforms, instead of supplicating,
cap in hand, to a Lord John Russel, or sending
petitions to be deposited, unread and unheeded,
in the cellars of the House of Commons."
A leading person in the new movement is Mr.
Cobden, of Manchester. It has an opponent in
the Morning Chronicle, which objects to the
scheme on the ground that "a prime desidera
tum, in a poor man's investment, is convertibili
ty into cash without los3 of time or money,"
which desideratum an investment in land does
not possess.

The Queen of Spain added an unfading laurel
to her administration, by the generous conduct
w hich she manifested towards those unfortunate
young men known as the "Cuban prisoners."
She released them, and sent them away 1 ejoicing.
It is also believed that Gov. Hunt, of New York,
will pardon Lopez, a young man and a subject
of Spain, now under sentence of death. This
is all exceedingly proper because the circum
stances in both cases justify the proceedings.
But what docs the Queen of England intend to
do for the Irish exiles and patriots. Will she
permit them to linger in ignoble imprisonment,
or restore them to their families and friends ?
How long must O'Brien, Meagher, and their
glorious compeers suffer imprisonment. This
is a question that the world has a right to ask,
and we are in hope that England will imitate the
merciful example of Spain.
We have welcomed the Hungarians. Congress
has received Kossuth and it now behooves that
same Congress to earn additional applause, by
procuring the release of the Irish patriots. Their
condition is peculiarly different from that of the
Cuban prisoners, for while they sought to esta
blish their native land on as proud an eminence
as its neighbors the " Fillibusters" invaded a
foreign country, and labored to provoke the se
dition of a people professedly peaceful and con
tented. O'Brien fought for his home and his
friends Meagher plead for his prostrate coun
try and his starving countrymen and all, for
national and humane reasons, prayed for the
emancipation of Ireland.
The time has really and truly come when
some "substantial" effort should be made in
behalf of the Irish exiles. This it seems, is the
propitious period, and England has now the
opportunity of emulating a sublime example,
which other nations have set her. Venn' an.
Extraordinary Immigration of Uie
CjJijJsU.s I'roni IJUtzsgury.
A people of mysterious origin, insensible to
all civilization, ami insensible to all religion,
after a repose of four hundred years, has once
more grasped the pilgrim's staff to go beyond
the reach of modern legislation, and seek for
itself a new country. Alarmed at the re-organization
of the Kingdom of Hungary by the usur
pations of the Austrian Government in that
country, where , they have so long enjoyed the
immunities of an uninterrupted freedom, they
have been for some time wandering in swarms,
aud in all directions throughout tho Austrian
monarchy, seeking an outlet into another more
friendly land. Accustomed, for centuries, in
Hungary to live apart from the rest of its popu
lation as unmolested dwellers in holes and caves,
earning the necessaries of life without much
exertion, they have found themselves narrowly
watched. Averse to, and inceused at this state
of surveillance, it has wrought them into an un
heard of st ate of excitement, and, to the desperate
resolve to leave forever their wonted hearths to
seek once more their ancient country from which
so many centuries ago they were driven by some
unknown power. To sco this people in their
present impulsive act of emigration is said to be
wonderful. Like the wild denizens of the forest,
enclosed on all sides, they seek au issue out of
the frontier pale of Europe, numbers have pene
trated on their pilgrimage as far as the Tyrol,
and even to Switzerland ; Bohemia and Austria
proper swarm with their hordes, and many have
penetrated southward across the Turkish fron
tiers. They speak of nothing but their new
country, where there are no frontiers, no pass
ports, and no gens d'armes. They say they
came from Egypt, and must now return thither.

declared that he would protect Kossuth against
his enemies so long as he remained in his do
minions, and that when he left Turkey he should
be free to go where he pleased.
