SEMI-WEEKLY TELEGRAPH,
LEGISLATURE PROCEEDINGS.
THE ensuing Legislature will be onel
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 fee'ing may be
come warmerly enlisted, and subjects ag- 1
tated that will excite the strongest desire I
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-i
islature a busy as well as important one.
Duringits 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-I
ional proceedings, and general news. I

LECISLATIVE PROCEEDINGS.
TIIE ensuing session of the Legisla
ture of this Commonwealth, it is expec
ted, will be one of more intense interest
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
erlasing hills in support of its peculiar
tenets, their conflicts—the one battelling
under the sacred people of truth, for the
bust interest oft' the people—the other
with dark banner of falsehood waving
over it, contending for power and the at
dendant "spoila of victory,"—will 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 4 Democrat" the editors
of which pledge themselves to spare nc
pains, labor or expense, to render their
sheet worthy of public patronage.
As the undersigned have both had
perience in reporting, and are also practi
cal printers, they will be able to give full ,
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 Veports, they will
give ample sketches of the proceedings of
Congress, and a general summary of the
news of the days.
The "Intelligences" is Democratic in
politics•—supports the Patriotic and States
man of the West—UEN. W. H. HAR

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 coming session, promise tobe unusu
ally interesting. 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 Pendsylvan ia 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 poiicy
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 othei• matters it will have
the altering and the amendiag of existing
laws, so as to conform to the provisions
of the new Cogstitution, 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 'of the Chi orucle, and with
zeal, we will not say with what ability, do
battle against locofocoism, Van Bureniam
Fanny Wrightism, and all other destruc
the 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 cause we
spode.
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 Leg
slature, $ 2 50 in advance. No subscri-I
ber can discontinue his paper until all ar
rearages are paid.
