HARRISBURG

SEMI-WEEKLY TELEGIMPIL
LEGISLATURE PROCEEDINGS.
THE ensuing Legislature will be one
f unusual interest to every citizen of the
Cornmowealth. The adoption of the
Amendments to the Constitution, will
give rise to new legislation in which it is
not unlikely that party fee'ing may be
come warmerly enlisted, and subjects ag
tated that will excite the strongest desire
to obtain early and correct information.
A new Administration, it is expected,
will also come into power, and give birth
to new measures under its new men.
These, together with the ordinary duties
of Legislation, will make the coming Leg
islature a busy as well as important one.
'During its session the "Pennsylvania
Telegraph" will be published twice a week
;its
contain late and fatal accounts of
;its proceedings, taken by experienced re

LECISLATIVE PROCEEDINGS.
THE ensuing session of the Legisla

to the people than any that has preceded
it. Not only will it be the first session
under a new organic law, untried, and
in the estimation of many thousands, of
,doubtful untility, but it will be the first
:sessionf of contested elections—the first
'session to which the abused ballot-box
will appeal for redress. Parties being
nearly ballanced, and each firm as the ev

under the sacred paople of truth, for the

PROSPECT US,
OF THE
HARRISBURG CII RONICLE,
There being nothing which so much en
hances the value of - a public journal as
early and faithful news, the editor and
proprietor of the Harrisburg Chronicle
has made such arrangements, as will not
fail to make his paper equal, if not supe—
rior to any other in the place, during the
ensuing year, in this particular.
The sessions of the State Lecrislature '
the coining session, promise to be unusu
ally intsresting. The policy of the new
State administration, must excite curiosi
ty in the minds of all such as take any
part in the politics of the day, inasmuch
as the friends of the new Governor have
found much fault with the administration
of Joseph Ritner, though one of the best
Governors Pendsylvania ever had; and it
remains to be seen from what this winter
will develope, whether the people have
made a wise change.
Besides the interest [which the policy
. of the new administration will give rise
I to, the duties of this winter's Legislature
will be such as to engage the serious at
• tention of every citizen in the State. A
mong many other matters it will have
the altering and the amendiag of existing ,
laws, so as to conform to the provisions
of the new Constitution, and make such
others as the emergency will require,
which will be neither few nor unimpor
tant.
As it is our purpose to continue the
publication r•f the Chron►cle, and with
zeal, we will not say with what ability, do
battle against locofocoism, Van Burenism
Fanny Wrightism, and all other destruc
tive isms, we most earnestlycall upon the
friends of democracy and good govern
ment to aid us; it not for our sake, let
them do it for the sake of the mitre we
sponse.
TERMS
This paper will, as heretofore, be pub
lished twice a week during the session of
the Legislature, and once a week during
the remainder of the year, on a fine doub
le medium sheet, and new type, at 83.00

stature, S 2 50 in advance. No subscn
