LEGISLATURE PROCEEDINGS.
THE ensuing Legislature will be one
f unusual interest to every citizen of the
Commowealth. The adoption of the
Amendments to the Constitution, will,
give rise to new legislation in which it is'
not unlikely that party feeling 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
and contain late and fatal accounts of
its proceedings, taken by experienced re-
porters. It will also contain Congress
ional proceedings, and general news.

LECISLATIVE PROCEEDINGS.
THE ensuing session of the Legisla
ture of this Commonwealth, it is expec
ted, will be one of more intense interest
to the people titan 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 u:_tility, but iL will be the first
Sesstonf 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
erlas - ing hills in support of its peouliar
tenets, their conflicts—the one battelling
under the sacred paople of truth, for the
best interest of ! the people—the other
with dark banner of falsehood waving
over it, contending for power and the at
. deadant "spoils of attac
an interest to the session which will rent
der vehicles of correct information in re
gard to the proeedings, of immense im
portance to the citizens of Pennsylva
nia . Such vehicle will be found in the
"Intelligencer Democrat" the editors
of which pledge themselves to spare no i
pains, labor or expense, to render tbeiri
sheet worthy of public patronage.
As the undersigned have both had ex..
perience in reporting, and are also praati
cal printers, they will be able to
. give
and correct reports of the sayings and
doings of the two Houses, and place the
intelligence in their paper in the most at
tractive and satisfactory form. In ad
dition to Legislative reports, they will
give ample sketches of the proceedings or
Congress, and a general summary of the
news of the days.
The "Intelligencer" is Democratic in
politics•—supports the Patriotic and States
man of the West—GEN. W. H. HAR
RISON —for the Presidency in 1840--
and will ever be found the unwavering
opponent of Loco-focoism, and all kin
dren destructive herises.

PROSPECTUS'
OF THE
HARRISBURG CHRONICLE.
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 Legislature
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
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 amending of existing
laws, so as to conform to the provisions
of the uew Constitution, and :nuke such
others as the emergency will require,
which will be neither few nor unnupor- 1
taut.
As it is our purpose to continue the
publication 'of the Chronicle, and with
zeal, we will not say with what ability, do
battle against locofocoism, Van Burenism
Fanny IVrightism, 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 cadre 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 $3.00
per annum payable in advance. For six
months including the session of the Le&-
stature, S 2 50 in advance. No subscri
ber can discontinue his paper until all ar
rearages are paid.

as subscribers, shall have a copy of the
