Conscientious John. That venerable trembler, for virtues cause, John Montelius; whose tender con science made tutu desert his friends, and what he declared to be the cause of the constitution, has been made to father a speech, which is trumpeted forth as the very essence .of truth, and honesty by the Loco Foco presses. It seems lie did not when he first went to Harrisburg cal culate that the filthy lucre of mammon, would be likely to work such magic chan ges in his belief, for below we publish a copy of a letter, written when the "blood hounds'' were "ready to butcher."' We ask any man of common sense, to compare the laconic style, and beautiful diction of the letter, with the grand elo quent outpourings of his injured spirit in the speech, and decide whether they were ever manufactured by the same per. son. But he admits, that he wrote the letter, while he was got ing watched— may be that is the reason. Harriyburg .o , r- 6, 1838. 9 o'clock at night. S My Friend— A revolution is at hand; no blood spilled as yet—the Capitol is in possession of the Van Buren party, and a mob of Wool hounds of about 500. They drove us out this day. Govern ment is as much as desolved. This day the Aotrnal was surrounded by then, but could tint get permission as yet—we have about fifty men in for safe keeping. The Governor's house has been guarded last night and this night again—Stevens, Burrowes, Penrose and Cunningham, would have been Morganized had they been at the capitol, and all this on ac count of the Philadelphians. Harrisburg appears not to assist us. 1 shall soon be home if spared—nothing but confusion like a bee-hive if they lose the queen, shouting, rejoicing in the Capitol by 100 of them ready to butcher. I got watched so that I could hardly write these lines. JOHN NIONTELIUS Our Course. Many of our friends arc inclined to think that our course relative to the niw Governor, is characterized by more mild ness, and apparent respect, than they think is due to him. We are free to give the motives which govern our conduct on any subject, and particularly this. When Mr. Porter was a candUcee, we believed it to be our duly to give to the public, such statements as assumed the imposing character of facts. We then thought, and still think we were perform ing an imperative duty which we owed to oar fellow citizens. W done so alike fearless of their refutation or their conse quences. We done so with the deter- mined avowal that if any thing should be produced to disprove them, that we would be among the first to render him the most ample justice. It would be superfluous in us 'to say that no such refutation ever appeaaed or that any thing its transpired to change our deliberately formed opinion. Never theless, the situaion of things have chang• ed. Mr. Porter is now the Governor of Penusyl‘ania, and shall at all fines re ceive that respect from us whick is due to the honorable and important statio■ which he fills. Whatever may have been his character, whatever foibles may have marked his private career, shall not be noticed by us so long as he holds the dig_ ;lined dice which he now fills. It is our only duty to examine his political acts as , they transpire; and in doing even this, we trust, our conduct shall be governed by that spirit of fah ness and frankness which should under every circumstance, be the characteristic of the conductor of a pub lic journal. We arc unbound by any party trammels in such matters. We hall censure freely and fearlessly such derelictions from the path of honor or 'adorn, as we deem him guilty of; and where his policy is marked by any act hick we think tends to the advancement 1 the interests of our common country, e shall as freely express our praise. The spirit of personal warfare evinced taring the last campaign; was urged on 9 by the malicious and vindictive, as well a fallacious conduct of our opponents. They lived in "glass houses" and com- _ nenced "throwing stones," if their win lows suffered they have themselves to Blame. The people however pronounced their verdict upon the whole; and we 'told that man wanting in respect for him elf, and in love for the honor of his coun. ry, who,still continues the personal strife. Let us not however be again misunder tood in this matter. When the same ►arty again resume their "tomahawk" and .ommence again a hostile contest against e personal probity of our friends, we re again ready to unsheath our "scalping :ado." and our blows shall fall where they are most deserved. In the mean time we again say that toward the Governor of ' Pennsylvania, we will ever show that !respect which is due to the Governor of any State, no matter to what party he is attached. As the private of the dragoons said when commanded by his general to apologise to his captain for mis-conduct, ' "Sir," says he, "I ask your pardon, so 1 1 would your horses if commanded by my general." It is duty, not regard fur the individual. PENN'A. LEGISLATURE In the Senate on Friday the 25th ult., the loan bill was under discussion, most' of the Democratic members contending for a diminution of the rate of interest , from 5, to 4 per cent, and the T.oco Focos against it. An amendment was finally added that if the money could not be had at 5, the Bank of the Vnited States shall , !be called upon to loan at 4 per cent, when the bill gassed.

The House also refused to pass a bill giving the right of contesting the Philadelphia county returns to the legis lature. The time allowed by law having expired. This looks as if they were afraid to have the corruptions of "the par ty" investigated. It was offered as an amendment to a bill fixing the time for electing U. S. Senator on the 2nd Tucs day of February, which wss finally agreed to. The Senate on Saturday, had under. discussion the time and manner of elec ting U. S. Senator, no final action we, had thereon.
