SPECIAL 'MESSAGE OF
The Governor,
To the Senate and House of Represen'a
lives of the Comnonwealth of Penn
sylcunia; and to the mendnrs thereof.
AVHEREAS, The constitution of this
Commonwealth confers upon the Gover
nor the power of converting the General
Assembly, on extaorilinary occasions:
AND wingless, No provision has been
made by law for the payment of the inter
terest now due, and falling due on the '
State debt, between the present time and
the meeting of the next Legislature, and '
for the repair and current expellees of
the canals and railroads of the Commons
wealth, nor for the prosecution
.of the
public works now under contract, and in
a state of approaching completion: AND
WHEREAS, It these several objects be left
in their present condition, unprovided
for, the Nth and honor of the Common
wealth of Pennsylvania must be deeply
tarnished, and the •canals and railroads
now in a state of completion, and in the
construction of which, our enormous
State debt was mainly contracted, must,
'in a great measure, if not altogether,
cease to be of use, whereby not only
will the public suffer great loss and inccm
venience, bit the character of our im
provements itself fig . stability and use
' fulness, will !receive a ;IC:1U blow from
which it will not soon recover, pfl the
revenue of the Commonwealth, already so
lamentably inadequate to meet the de
mands upon it, will be reduced little
short of three-fourths of a million of dol
lars within. the ensuing year: and the pub
lic works, now in a state of approaching
completion, in the undertaking of which
the Commonwealth has a very large sum
of money already invested, must remain
idle and useless, to the serious diminu
tion of the public revenue, and to the de
triment of those sections of the Common
wealth, especially through which they
pass: AND WHEREAS. By the Act passed
the 3d day of April 1840,.entitled a 'res
olution providing for the resumption of
specie payments by the banks, and for
other purposes,' the sum of three millions
of dollars is provided for the purposes,
herein mentioned, in case the Legislature'
enacts the appropriate laws, ;applying it
to the same.—AND WHAREAS, One of the
• principal reasons for giving the banks so
great an extension of their present sus
pension of specie papments, as until the
15th of January, 1841, was to obtain
this fund of three millions of dollars, for.
the relief of the commonwealth from the
financial embarrassments by which she is
at this time beset; AND WIISRZAS, A fai
lure to provide for applying the same to
the purposes for which it was designated,
is an entire surrender of this important
advantage, secured to the public by that
law, and is a total release of the banks
from an essential part of the considera
tion, on which the indulgence they are en
joying, was granted, which appears to the
to be a course of policy neither wise nor
just.
ANE WHEREAS, the Commonwealth ofi
Pennsylvania with her vast resources,
and her magnificent system of public Mis t
provements, owns it to her own character
for steadfastness, strict observance of en,
gagements, and a high sense of state pride
and public faith, to pay with punctuality
the interest becoming due on the public
debt— the respective debts due to those
who labored to construct and keep her,
improvements in repair—and to exert her'
energies to continue those improv.einonts
in a fit condition to transport upon them,
whatever products her own citizens and)
those of neighboring states, may have ere
ated or purcliased on the faith, and with'
the expectation and assurance, that these'
improvements wen to be and remain
their highway to and from market; AND'

Pennsylvania Legislature
IN SENATE.
FRIDAY. April 10, 1840,
Mr. Ewavo maved to amend the bill by
striking out all after the enacting clause,
and inserting as a substitute, a bill provi
ding for the payment of the debts of the
Commonwealth, on all the lines of im
provement, for the repairs of the Colum
bia railroad, and e 400,000 for the repairs
of the other public improvements.
Mr. BELL said ;that he wished to have
it distinctly and well understood at this
stage of the improvement question, that
until he had evidence that the money ap
propriated for the payment of debts, &c.
was to be distributed by other agents than
the present ones, and that the intentions
and instructions of the Legislature were
to be regarded and lived up to, he would
not vote for the apropriation of a dollar,
although he had exerted himseif to place
the means within the power of the admin
istration.
Mr. B said he had the facts in his pos
session, in black and white on paper, that
not one dollar of the suns of $145,000 ap
propriated last year for the payment of
debts, had been or could be obtained of
the State 'officers. Nut one cent of all
this loan had been paid to those that the
State owed; and he defied a contradiction
of the fact. He had received information
from all parts of the Commonwealth on
ate subject.
kfr.Ewixo said his object was to bring
the sui.jtsct before the Senate. The ses
skin wag fitst drawing to a close, and un-'
less there was action upon this subject
they could not dispose of it by the time of
the adjournmen4—mid lie was opposed to
prolongio g the se,sl;in Leyond the day
fixed upon. If the Sei:ator from the city
was desirous of introducing A clause into
the bill in relation to taxation :7e might do
it; but he did not believe that eith:l* in the
Senate or the House, the party in WI wet'
had the “nerve" to vote for a bill• to lay ft,
tax. Ile believed that the bill got upend
voted dowrvimsthe House, was merely a
feeling, and that there was no intention
ta3joiity to lay a tax
urt
an the pat t y.
"Il i t.y would stave Ti,,. .
hey would dispose of the stom...
tither public properly, that the State pp,
,essed, befor e they would lay ] a tax.
Mr. L wiAted to be understood that
he had taken:his ground on this question
with perlect coolness. That although he
mil dune
. as much he might say, as any
'..S'enator, to provide means tar the mind t
istration to pay its debts and prosecute its:
improvements—and although ho was
ing to provide fur the repairs of the pub'
lie improvements, and to appropriate a,
reasonable sum for the construction of the
North Branch and Erie extension, yet, be]
lure he would vote one cent o: appropri-,
atiun he would have to be satisfied that
'die officers of the Commonwealth
confirm to and carry out the instructions
of the Legislature. Ile repeated what he:.
hail said before, that out of the $145,000
appropriated last year fur the payineut of
,debts due up to the first of February 18

The proceedings of the meeting held at

and enthusiastic. The meeting was ad•
dressed in an eloquent and impressive
manner, by H. A. McMurtrie, Esq. ; and
John Blanchard, Esq. The speakers,
throughout their addresses, were frequen
tly stopped by the shouts of applause.

A Trial
Of more than ordii.ary interest was had
during the last week, in the court nfquar
ter Sessions. The circumstances are
briefly thus. A young man, by the name
of John 11. Butts, became, some years
since, a student of Dr. 0. G. Scott. They
got along quite s ell until some misunder
standing arose, when Butts left the Dr.,
and took with him his trunk, books and
clothing, and went home. Almost imme,
diately the doctor ulledged that ho had
been robbed by Butts, and purposed ma•'
king complaint. This hoevever he did not.
o at that time. Some months subse-
lot oily, llutt3' fa her sued Scott for a
.et (lenient tot his son, and then the pros .
e.cit tint) for Unit was commenced, as al_
most all die community thought, m ith a
most unrelenting determination to con•
viet. A long train of svitnesseswera ex
amined, and cross•eXamined, and many of
the most extraordinary contradiction: were
"ought out. As the trial progressed,
^med to be but one opinion, the
;here se. of Butts; and nut a a ery
pet feet innocen. '^rd the peosecu
charitable sensation tt, it, verse
tur, ur as some boldly exire . ,: eu • "ett
cutor. The cause was most ably
fur the defendant, by Messrs. Miles ann
Willionsun —and with as much zeal and
ability (V the counselor the pro%ccu lion)
as their case would admit of. The charge'
of the Judge was clear and distinct —cha
racterised by candor and justice. The
jury in about ten minutes retuned a ver
dict of NoT GUILTY.
The Legislature
Has adjourned. But as will be seen
by the proclamation of the Govet nor, they
were called together again the next day ;
and then they adjourned again, having
passed no bill of appropriations. A refe
rence to the remarks of Mr. Bell, in ano
ther column, will satisfy every honest
man as to the reason why they would not
'give any more money to thesis office hot•
ders.
Governor Porter has evidently mista.
ken his men, when he calls them togeth
erlo furnish money fur his knaves to
squander; they will not too the mark to
satisfy hits, and the result is, that the poor
'laboring man must sutler. After having
toiled all winter, he now finds that he
cannot obtain his pay; and he must sub
mit to have his claim against the St tte
shaved (and we doubt not it has bern
done, with the very money of the state),
to the tune of 25 per cent., or else lot Ifs
few goods and chattels fall into the ch.t •
ches of the law, This is Porter ref trot.
The banks now can declare dividends
and loan money, with perfect impunity. ,
The late law allows it. Before its pas
sage, silver could be got of them in three
months, by making them endorse their
notes. Now the note holder has no way
but to sue a common debt; and then he
may wander in law's labyrinth, years be.
fore he can get his money. True the
banks bought this privilege, and were to
pay for it. But without the passage of
an appropriation law, they have it for no
thing. In fact the people are at the mer
cy of the banks—and this is bank reform.
For the Journal.
Legislating For Spoils
Mr. BENEDIC
In these changing times, it is a mat
ter of some difficulty with the people of
country, to keep pace with all the ups and
downs, the ins and outs of men in public
stations. Therefore I send you this brief
communication, and request ita insertion
in your paper, in order that the people
may see how the latest change has been
brought about.
John Kerr, Esq, was appointed Asso
ciate Jui!ge fur this county, under the
old constitution, in 1838.
The 2nd. section of the schedule of
the amended constitution ordains that
"the alterations and amendments in the
said constitution shall take effect from the
Ist day of January 1839."
Section 4. "Tile General Assembly
which shall convene in December 1838
shall continue in session as heretofore;
and shall at all times be regarded as the
first General Assembly under the amen
den constitution."
Section 9. "The Legislature at its
first session under the amended constitu
tion, shall divided the Associate Judges
of the State, into 4 classes. The com
missions of those of the Ist class shall
expire on the 27th day of February 1840;
of those of the 2nd class, on the 27th
day of Febi nary 1841; of those of the
;;•41 class on the 27th • day of February
2 184 1

o the4::3. The
IC!a9s l 9ll sa tl i i ,, e
7t
classes from the Ist to the 4th., shall be
arranged according to the seniority of the
commissions of the several Judges."
Sa you perceive that the Legislature
which assembled in f::!!of 1888 Was
the fret Legislature under the present
constitution, the alterations and amend
ments of which, did not take effect until
the Ist ofJanuary 1859; and it was made
the duty of the first Legislature to clas
sify all the Associate Judges in the com
monwealth,
In
pursuance of the last above quoted
'section, the Legislature Oaring the ses

law classifying the said Judges agreeably

views better, is appointed Judge in the

I do not wish to say any thin% about
the new Judge—lit is already known to
tt.c people wham he is to judge. Ido not
know that he had any hand in bringin;
about his unconstitutional appointment,
but I presume he believes fully as much

DEAR SIR, --I have delayed answer

were over. They took place on Monday.
last, fur township Officers, throughout the
State, and the result, so far as heard from,
and wherever the Presidential question
was a test, has been great and glorious fur
the cause of old Tip. Indeed, the liar
ison boys arc so numerous, that in some
towns, the Vanites sheer no signs of life.
I will state the result in a few towns, us
samples of the whole Slate.
Ist, In this town, our majority last fall
was 54, now it is 2SG.
2nd, In Green township the majority
against us last tall was 47, this spring
o•.►r majority was 98. Our majority in
Ross last fall ms 179, in this spring elec
tion it is nearly 800. You may set down ,
Ohio between 20,000 and 50,000 for the
Hero of the Thames; of this there is no
mistake. A leading Vanite told me yes
terday, when we were talking over the
astounding result of our election, "that
the State was gone, but" said he "I did
not think before, that 'you could beat us
so tar."
Cincinnati, our majority last fall wa s
800, HOW tis 1700 and upwards. In
old Tip's township, below the city, there
are no Vanites at all—They can't breathe
in an high a region of intelligence, integ •
rity and patriotism:
You may also rest asured, that our ti
nal overthrow of Van Burenism is ter.

Michigan, Indiana, Illinois, Missouri,
(don't be alarmed) I say Missouri, for we
are sure of Missouri; she is already re -
