Pennsylvania Legislature
In the Senate on Friday, Mr. 14 illiains
of Allegheny, called to nn account Mr.
Miller of Adams, for the speech published
ever his name in the Keystone during the
recess; and which be declared the Senator
never deliver ed in the Senate. The speech
was characterised by the most consutnate
blackguardism and abusive epithets, and
Mr. Williams declared, that it never was
made in the Senate. Miller acted as if he
felt himself in a forked stick—and would
neither own nor disown the speech. Con
siderable argument was had upon the sub
ject, nearly the whole of the Senate agreed
that the gentleman was disposed to shine
in borrowed plumage.
In the House, a resolution directing the
committee to inquire into the expediency
of reporting a bill, giving the people an op_
portunity to declare at the ballot boxes
whether they desire to elect their canal
commissioners, was voted down by the
Loco Focos.
On Saturday in the Senate, the petition
of the contractors published in another col
umn, was presented and caused considera
ble debate, and was refeied to the com
mittee. Mr. Williams offered a resolu—
tion and preamble, relative to the preten
ded speech of Mr. Miller, and to appoint a
committee to report how far the privileges
of the Senate had been abused, with pow.
er to send for persons and papers Some
discussiol was had upon it; the Locos ur
ging Mil!er, not to avow or disavow the
speech; 'and the Democrats showing up
his speech and himself. Nothing was done
in the House.
On Monday, the resolution of Mr. Wil
liams, was called up—much debate arose
on the subject. The Locos trying to back
poor Miller, and the Democrats showing
the foulness of the libel on the Senate,
contained in the speech. Mr. Brown
the Philadelphia county Senator, recom
mended a resort to the 'laws of honor;'
when Mr. Pearson gave him a severe cas
tigation, showing that he was sworn to
support the constitution, and he was as.
tounded to hear him recommending a vio
lation of that instrument. The resolution
was finally passed, in the following shape.
ahereas, The editors of a certain news
paper entitled the 'Keystone, printed in
the borough of Harrisburg, have under the
color of a speech pretended to have been
delivered in the Senate of Pennsylvania,
by T. C. Miller, a member thereof from
the county of Adams, published a foul and
infamous libel on several of its members,l i
reflecting by the coarseness and indecen
cy of its language, the highest discredit
upon the character for dignity and deco
rum of the body in which the same is al
leged to have been delivered•
rind herens,ithe said Thomas C. MU.
ler has declined to avow or disavow the
authorship of that publication; and it be
hooves this body to protect its own digni—
ty by ascertaining whether the said T. C.
Miller did deliver,such speech on the floor,
of this Senate; and R not, whether the
same was written, or caused to he publish
ed by the said Senator.— Therefore,
Resolved, That a committee of five be
appointed by the Senate, whose duty it
shall be to enquire whether a speech pub
lished in a newspaper called the Keystone
of the date of April 10th. and purporting
to have been delivered in the Senate by
I'. C. Miller, a Senator from the county
of Adams, was uttered on the floor of the
Senate, and if not by whom, or under
whose authority the same was written or
published, how far the privilege of the Sen
ate are affected thereby, and what order
ought to be ,taken in the premises, with
power to send for the persons and papers.
In the House, the petition of the con
tractors was presented to a select commit.
tee. The committee in Mr. Stevens''case
reported that he 'had resigned,' and cal
led en the speaker to issue a warrant f o r
a new election. The minority entered
their protest against the whole course.—
Thus has this house of Loco Foco Dema
gogues, consumated the outrage upon the
peop!e, and disfranchised a county.
On Tuesday, the Senate finally passed
the bill for 'the pay of the miiitary. In
the House, Mr. Kettlewell presented the
proceedings of a meeting held in Adams
county—M'Elwee objected to having
them read; much debate arose, and the
Locos showing a disposition, not to hear
the voice of the people at all—and to in
tact tell the people that they had elected
them, and they considered that they had
no right to talk to them about their duty.
The proceedings were read, and we won
der not that they disliked their contents,
for we never read a more scorching expo
sition of the conduct of the House, in re
fusing Mr. Stevens a seat, and they con
clude by ,requesting Mr. Kettlewell to
withdraw from the House and have no
part nor let in the matter, unless they re.
cieve such members as they choose to
send. The petition was rejected, and the
!Legislature of Pennsylvania forever die- o rphans' Court

Upon this report there arose considera
ble discussion, and the Loco Focus finally
ordered it back to the minority to erase
such parts as was objectionable. Which
we of course consider must mean the whole
document. Mr. Kettlewell again made
a motion, that Mr. Stevens be sworn in.
which was amended by the recreant But
ler, so as to make it an act of magnanimi
ty, instead of duty, and thus admit him.
The House adjourned before any action.
On Friday, they passed a resolution de
claring the seat of Mr. Stevens vacant—
•vhereupon Mr. Kettlewell gave notice
that he would withdraw.

LOUIS OFFON GOELICKE,
OF GERMANY,
THE GREaTEST OF HU
.71.1.7r 11EXEF4CTORS.-
Citizens or 'Vora and South
anterica,
To LOUIS OFFON GOELICKE, M. D., of
Germany, [Europe] belongs the imper
ishable honor of adding a new and precious
doctrine to the Sciences of Medicine—a
doctrine which, though vehemently op
posed by many of the faculty, (of which
he is a valuable member,) he proves to be
as well founded intruth as any doctrine of
Holy Writ--a doctrine upon the variety
of which are suspended the lives of mil
lions of our race, and which he boldly
challenges his opposers to refute, viz:
Consumption is a disease always occa
sioned by a disordered state of Vis Vitae
(or life principle) of the human body: of.
ten secretly lurking in the systemic)r years
before there is the least complaint of the
Lungs—and which may be as certainly
though not so quickly, cured as a com
mon cold or a simple headache. An in
valuably precious doctrine this, as it im
parts an important lesson to the apparently
health of both sexes, teaching them that
this insidious foe may be an unobserved
inmate of their "clayey houses" even
while they imagine themselves secure
train its attacks, teaching them that the
great secret in tht art of preserving health
is to pluck out the disease while in the
blade, and not wale till the full grown
ear.
This illustrious benefactor of man is al
so entitled to your unfeigned gratitude,
and the gratitude of a world, fur the in
vention of his matchless sanative,—whuse
healing fiat may justly claim fur it such a
title, since it has so signally triumphed
over our great common enemy consump
tion, both in the first and last stages,—a
medicine which has thoroughly filled the
vacuum in the Meteria Medics, and there
by proved itself the Conqueror of Physi
cians--a medicine, for watch all mankind
will have abundant cause, to bless the
beneficient hand of a kind Providence,--a
medicine, whose wondrous virtues have
been so glowingly poi trayed even by some
of our clergy, in their pastoral visits to
the sick chamber; by %illicit means they
often become the happy instruments of
changing despondency into hope, sickness
into health, and sadness of friends into,
joyfulness.

medicine of more value to moan than the

which though designed as a remedy for
consumption solely, is possessed of a myss

the human system,--a medicine, which
begins to be valued by Physicians, who'
are daily witnessing its astonishing cures
of many whom they had resigned to the
grasp of the Insatiable Grave.

A certificate from three members of
the MEDICAL PROFESSION in
Germany, in Europe,
We the undeisikned, practitioners of
medicine in Germany' are well aware
that, by our course, we may forfeit
the friendship of some of the faculty, but
not of its benevolent members, who are
uninfluenced by selfish motives. Though
we shall refrain from an expression of
our opinion, either of the soundness or
unsoundness of Dr. Goelicke's new doc
trine, we are happy to say that we deem
his Sanativ too valuable not to be general
ly known—for what our eyes behold and
our ears hear, we must believe.
We hereby state, that when Dr. Louis
(Aron tioelicke first came before the Ger
man public, as the pretended discoverer
of a new doctrine and a new medicine, we
held him in the highest contempt, believ
ing and openly pronouncing him to be a
base imposter and the prince of quacks.
But, on hearing so much said about the
Sanative, against it and for it, we were
induced, from in. tives of curiosity mere
ly, to make trial of its reputed virtues,
upon a number of our most hopeless pa•
fields; and we now deem it our bounden
duty (even at the expense of our self in
terest) publickly to acknowledge its effi
cacy in curing not only consumption,
but other fearful maladies, which we have
heretofore belived to be incurable. Our
contempt for the discoverer of this medi
cine was at once swallowed up in our ut
ter astonishment at these unexpected re
sults; and, as amends for ourabuse of him,
we do frankly confess to the world, that
we believe him a philanthropist who does
honor to the profession, and to our coon-,
try, which gave him birth.
The recent adoption of this medicine in-
to some of our European hospitals is a'
sufficient guaranty that it performs all its
promises: It need not our testimoy, for
wherever it is used it is its own best wit
ness.

NOTICE.
TBE undersigned surviving exec:l-
tors of the late John Savage Esq., of
the city of Philadelphia, hereby notify all
persons who are claimants or holders of
claims on Mr. Savage's estate, arising out
of business or transactions, in Hunting
don and Bedford counties, in any way
Iconnezted with Mr. George Thompson, or
his alleged agency in "that quarter, that
they have appointed Edward E. Law Esq.
Walnut street above Sixth street, Phila
delphia, to recieve and examine the same
with reference, if justly due, to their
speedy settlement.
In giving this public notice, the under
signed feel it their duty to state, that Mr.
Thompson has at various times been called
on, for a "regularly vouched account,"—
and in consequence of his tailing to com
ply with this reasonable request, he was
desired more than a year ago, "to report
the amount of debts, to whom, and when
payable, the period at which they were
• contracted, and for what purpose, with
such other statements as were best calcu
lated to make the undersigned fully ac
quainted with the business that had been
transacted at the Forge and Furnace--in
seperate lists—the whole to be duly cer
tified by his signature."
These requisitions remained unanswe
red; Mr. Thompson witholds his accounts
for the period prior, as well as subsequent
to Mr. Savage's death, whereby the on
• designed are deprived of the means of
L facilitating the final adjustment of his
important dependencies in the West.—
: They have therefore no alternative but'
the public notice, which is hereby given,
; that all those who ate directly or indirect
ly interested, will forward or present their
accounts to Edward E. Law Esq., to be
disposed of in manner set forth in the
present advertisement.
