JUDGE KING'S OPINION OF THE U. S. BANK CASES. On Monday morning Judge King de livered the opinion of the court of Com mon Pleas in the several cases pending against the Bank of the United States for non-compliance with the Resumption Law of 1840. The gist of the argument between counsel was—whether the Re sumption Law is applicable to the Bank of the United States, or, is she not spe cially regulated by her incorporation act? Our space will not permit us to give more than the heads of the opinion. The Counsel lor the 'Respondent insis ted that the Resumption resolutions of April Sd, 1840, were not intended by the Legislature to apply to the Bank of the United States, and if they are made so to apply by a literal construction, they vio. late the tenth section of the first aiticle of the Constitution of the United Stales, which declares that no State shall pass "any ex post facto law, or law impairing the obligation of contracts," and the sixth and seventh section of the tenth aiticle of the Constitution of Pennsylvania, which declares that "trial by ,jury shall be as heretofore, and remain inviolate," and "no cx post lai.to law, or any law ini pairing contracts shall be made." The relator's arguments and answers on behalf of the Bank, were— lat. That according to the true con• atruction of the act chartering the Bank of the United States, the Legislature has retained the same power of dealing with it as with the charter of the other Banks of the Commonwealth. W. That the resolutions of April 3, 1840, do not impair the contract between the State and the stockholders of the Bank of the United States, as expressed in its act of incorporation, but that these resolutions simply provide a new reinedy for the admitted infraction by the bank of its charter duties in not redeeming its obligations in gold and silver coin. 3d. That admitting both these posi tions to be unsound, yet that the assent of the Bank to any modilication of its charter made by these resolutions, must be inferred front their beneficia; tenden cy to the Bank in common with the other Banks of the State, and finally, that the language of the resolutions is so broad and explicit, as to leave no question as to their applicability to this institution. The Judge, utter weighin4 the argu ment of counsel, gave it as his opinion -Ist. That according to the act incor .. poi ating the Bank of the United d tales, 'the Legislature has not retained the same '‘wer to alter, or repeal its charter, which me d ic is admitted to possess in reference to vast min Banks incorporated under the provi t„aserin. of the General Banking Law. is obtr 2d. That inasmuch as no such power mn i m os been reserved, the Legislature can po„oot consistently with the Constitution of w hi c khe United States and of this state modi• consu l' the charter in the manner proposed by terioiane Resumption Law of 1840. • t h e 1,3 d. That the assent of the Bank was i beg' necessary to render the resolutions of s . April 3d, 1840, operative on her, which assent does not appear in evidence. 4th. That the resumption resolutions sit April Sil, 1840, are applicable only to Banks chartered under the General Bank ing Laws of this State. 'FAVERN LICENSES, The following is the bill relative to Tay ern Licenses, as it passed both Houses of the Legislature: AN ACT supplementary to the various acts relating to tavern licenses. SECTION 1. Be it enacted bp the Senate and House of Representatives of the Commonice,ilth of Pennsylvania in General Assem'sly met, and it is hereby enacted by the authority of the same, (hat every person intending to apply for a tave.•u license in any MI or county of th.s c mimonwealih, from and after the first day of April next, shall give public notice of the same by at least three pub. lications in two newspapers, where the ap plication is made in any of the cities, and in one:where the application is made iii any of the counties of this commonwealth (if so many there be in said city or coun ty, or if there be no newspaper published then by printed handbills, to be posted throughout the township in six of the most public places, of which fact an affi davit, together with a copy of the printed notice shall be attached to the application) which publication shall be made nearest the place in which such tavern is inten ded to be kept, and shall embrace the cer tificate required by the fourth section of the act passed the eleventh day of March, one thousand eight hundred and thirty four, entitled au act relating to inns and taverns, and so forth, the last of which publications shall be at least ten days be fore the first day of the term of the court to which the applicatio.i shall be made.

No house of entertain ment shall be constructed to be an inn ur tavern, under the provisions of the laws of this Commonwealth, as such as retail vinous, spiritous or other strong drinks, and the twelfth section of the act of March eleventh, one thousand eight Kin dred and thirty-four, to which this is a supplement, be and the same is hereby repealed.

If any person shall be convicted under the provisions of the act or the act to which this is a supplement, of retailing vinous, spiritous or other strong liquors by less measure than one quart without license, such persons shall be fined in a sum not less than twenty or more than one hundred dollars. THE SUB-TREASURY IN MICHI GAN The Detroit Advertiser gives the fol lowing history of the Sub-treasury chest forwarded by Uncle Sam to one of his sub ordinate Sub Treasurers. The fact will illustrates the system.—/nid. He had, says the Editor, a hearty laugh the other 'day over a monstrous iron Sub-treasury chest sent on here by the General Government, for the use of Mr. Land Office Receiver Kearsley. It is some ten feet in height, and duly propor tioned—with an immense door, large e• nough for a pair of French ponies to pass through and a sufficient interior to furnish sea-room fur a "juvenile Seventy-Four." It weighs some five or six tons, and was brought to Detroit at an expense of about] 8400 freight. And yet the Sub-treasurer makes no use of it. It is deposited in one of the hardware stores, a monument of the Sub-treasury humbug. It would very forcibly illustrate to the people the beauties !of the bill which has been blas pliemiously termed •the second declara tion of Independence." THE INVESTIGATING COMMIT' TEE It is a hackneye(l phrase in the mouth of every one, but none the less true for that, that it is only wounded pigeons that flutter. J udging by this rule, the loco fo cus have been sadly wounded by the pro ceedings of the Investigating Committee, at the head of which is Mr. Lightner of illegheny. He has shown that the un derstood the matter and is bringing it home to them in a way that makes them wince quite distressingly. The federal editors of this borough have attacked the proceedings of the Committee with great vigor; and the Chairman more especially is made the object of their furious zeal. We are glad to see this. It shows that the Committee are attending to their du ties, and are making such discoveries as it was believed they would when they were appointed. We will be bound, that if they were making no discoveries that might operate against the Hoard of Ca• nal Commissioners, the loco locos would be the last men to find any fault with their proceedings. It is the exposures that are being made that produces so much alarm among them. 1 hey are de• termined to forestall public opinion in re gard to this matter. But it will not an swer their purposes. The whole exami nation will be laid before the people, and we venture to say that it will disclose such a state of things as has never before existed it. this Commonwealth.—Chroni cle.

All w Ito are opposed to the re-election of David R.

DAVID BLAIR. Chairman. -- IN EARNEST. It is now neatly six years, since we commenced the publication of the " Jour nal ;" and during that time, we have wai ted long and patiently on many of our professed friends to pay us the little amount due for subscription, advertising, 4.c. We have waited until patience has ceased to be a virtue. We shall wait no ! longer; and such of our patrons as know themselves to be indebted to us for three, four, five, and six years, may rest assured that their accounts will be placed in the hands of the law for collection, immedi ately after the April court. By perseve rance in the way of begging, and by the punctuality of many of our real friends, we have been allowed to slip quietly along; but now the time is coming when we must have some of the money clue ut. There is no more certain method, where by to break down a paper, than by sub scribing and never paying for it. Aired writers, nor the threats of men in power, nor their purchased bullies, can ever make a successful effort to silence an in dependent and fearless press ; while the insidious assaults of pretended friends, in the shape of apparent support, must crush it to the earth. To our real friends, we return the thanks of a grateful heart. To patrons, without pay, we respectfully, but firmly . say, that their accounts will be made out for settlement, at the coming court--if then unsettled, as the old man in the fable said, we shall try what virtue there is in force. "'Tis not the scurril coarseness of thy line Draws on thy nothingness rebuke of mine: The sputt'ring spite that fills thy pin's-head .. . heart, Compels my notice, cypher as thou art." We should not again notice the attack of the Advocate upon our member, J. G. Miles, Esq. were it not that imperative duty demands that our citizens, as well as the people abroad, should know the truth. In our last, we stated the facts, as near as we knew them, of Mr. Miles' departure. We have since learn'd that he did not leave town on Sunday night until II o'clock or . alter. For which he is made the subject of a coarse and ungentlemanly article in the "Advocate," wherein they express no little horror at the violation of the holy Sabbath. We unhesitatingly say, that we know nothing of Phrenology, if the organ of veneration on our neighbor's head is not much less developed than that lesser virtue, acquisitiveness. Yet if we err in the facts, we trust it will he accredited to our ignorance of the science. As for the significant attack upon our , self, we pass it by as the idle wind, which we regard not. Though their arrows may be poisoned with the bitterest malignity of a little heart, yet they fall as harmless at, our feet, as though blown from the "blow gun" of some silly urchin ; nor will they provoke us from our good (rumor. We shall laugh at the assault, and the assail. ant; and to preserve us in that temper, we shall bear in mind the French proverb: "II croit qu'il trompe, parce mente." If, however, necessity, or a sense of jus tice compels us to begin the strife, oui neighbor will find, that it our broad sword fails at last, it shall be long antl well laid on. Consistency. There is hardly a man in this county that does nut recollect how iery eensori-'1 l oos certain men, who claimed "exceeding honesty" in advocating Mr. Porter's elec tion, were, about the wasteful expendi• tures of Ritner's administratittn. 'the burden of all their song was about the plundering on the State works, and great, amount at money squandered. What has become of their patriotism now? Since the election of honest Davy R., there has been more money nppropriated for repairs in one year, than there ever was during Ritner's, not even excepting the year of Ihe "Big Break," when they boldly assert ed that thousands and thousands of dol lars was plundered in open day Now they can see nothing wrong. It is all right. Notwithstanding they abhorred State Robbers so much then, many of them have turned in themselves, and shown what good judges they were of such ex travagance, by showing that they not only know how to steal as well as the best— but that they are also first rate fellows to Ihide. So far as we are concet ned, we have al ways believed that so long as officers are made i.arty pack horses, (no matter by which party,) their abuses are winked at, provided they plunder a reasonable share for the good of the party. We make no particular distinction, but censure all alike. The people are alone the sufferers. Tax! tax! is the only way they have to keep the State hove water. They are taxed, and their money is squandered to pay favorites, for their deeds of partisan folly. • The people mast remedy this thing, of else Pennsylvania will be forced to take the benefit. Every year has sunk her deeper into debt; and there seems to be no relief uttered for the people. There are thousands, and thousands of dollars due this day by this great State to poor day laborers, whose sole dependence is their hardy hands, and th.:ir willingness to toil. Yet Pennsylvania! Proud Penn sylvania owes them their hard earned pit tance—aye, owes, and will not pay.— Months of their wages are bark,—them. selves and their families suffering from the Injustice of their native State. Nor is (this the worst of it. They have no reme.' dy. The State cannot be sued by a citi l ien of the State. In very truth, the State is in a worse conditicn than the Banks; they can be ,sued, and if they have any thing, you have a chance to get it. Yet you have no such, hope against Pennsylvania. The poor (lay laborer may rot in jail, and his family have to depend upon the township for support, and his native State laughs at his calamaties! Does any one say that such a state of things is right? Our Legislature and our ( Governor talk much about the preserva tion of the faith of the State, when they 'wish to pay the interest due to wealth% 'stockholders, but they never think of the necessities of their poor fellow citizens. We ask every candid and hottest man. if these matt,rs do not, require Reform?— Immediate and radical Reform? It you think so, you must be up and doing. Not tamely stand still, and be told you mus stick to your party. You must spurn the man who will try to make your love of party of inure importance than your lov, of the prosperity o f your country. LOOK TOIL The Tavern Law. In our pipet of this week will be found' the new law relative to Tavern Licenses. We have published it as one of the acts of our Legislature. It has not, as we learn, yet been signed; and in this case we can see at least some cause fur the Executive to use his veto. It is presu med, however, that it will become a law. We deem it useless, and worse than use less, because the previous laws were set ficiently rigid to accomplish every pur pose, it strictly enforced ; nor is this the worst feature of the Bill. Let its require ments be carried out, and hardly a tavern keeper in our county can obtain a license. Some may consider this a moral advan tage. If it be so in this county, let the law be general. But perhaps we may not be understood why the law is not equal. Let us explain,. In our county, applica tions can only be made for license at the January an , : April court terms. This new law requires not less than 24 days' notice to be given of the intended application. Prow the law has but just passed, and but few are acquainted with it; and there are but twelve days before the first day of the term of court, consequently, the law can not be complied with in this county; and it not complied with, no licenses can be granted. We, however, publish the law, --the people can judge for themselves. John Williamson, Eq. We learn, with no little satisfaction' !hat our friend and townsman, John Wil liamson, Big. has received from the Pres..' dent that assurance ut esteem which was i so well deserved. Mr. Williamson was one of the first, the firmest, and most un 'tiring of General Harrison's supporters. He lost no occasion to openly and fear lessly declare what he believed would and should be the policy of his Administration; and we unhesitatingly say, that we believe that no appointment could be made from our section of the State, which will meet with more universal approbation. We published last week a notice of his appointment, but were precluded from ex ,pressing our own views, by other articles I l already prepared for the press. “Don't Forget,” Says the last "Advocate," 'that John Bankb was appointed Judge by Governor [tither, and that he aided in ALL the acts luf that Administration." To the lion.

Public Opinion. Papers of the same stripe as the one in our town, arc manufacturing public opin ion in favor of D. R. Porter. If they will examine our court records, they can learn what is the private opinion of him, by thos. who know him. Should that not answer, ask the citizens of old Huntingdon, who have known him long, and they will pub licly express an (pinion that is any thing but creditable to his reputation. At the Borough Election in Easton , Northampton county, there seems to have been a strong party contest. The Loco Focos placing James M. Porter, Esq. (bro .lier to the Governor, and the notorious Judge who disgraced the bench in Dau-' whin county, just long enough to add one' more stain to his already soiled and de• singed name,) at the head of the ticket; but it so came to pass, that the learned and wise judge, came out at the little end ,of the horn. Old things become new. Below, we publish the circular of the present Secretary of State, Daniel Web, ster, to the heads of different departments. We call particular attention to the docu. ment. It revives the long since forgotten principles of that Apostle of Democracy, Thomas Jefferson. It is a subject much talked of fur many years, and but little practiced. In the good old days of Jefferson, it was called Democracy—modern Van Ilu ren and Porter Democrats call Ilarrison a Federalist, for thus bringing into life these ancient and honest principles of primitive Democracy. tre however ask every lion est and conscientious Republican, if he' cannot see in the document much to awa ken the hope that once more our Govern-, ment will assuredly assume its proper character, and that party power will be merged in the greatest good to the greab. est number. For years past, Executive power and patronage have been used solely to secure party triumphs. The loudest brawlers on the stump, or in the bar-room, have been the official minions of the people's ser yaws. Is it so now? Every officer on tie canal—and every clerk and officer in oar State, are but the panders of Execu tive will, for political. purposes; and it it Tall done in the name of Democracy—ayes land they even call it Jefferson Democracy! We are however rtjo:ced to see that the man of our choice has commenced tight, an I intends to carry out the principles for which we, with thousands of others, so ardently contended. Let them be per sisted in, and we feel assured that the sun of our country's prosperity has risen once more, to shine with renewed splendor. JEFFERSONIAN PRINCIPLES ONCE MORE IN OPERATION.

Brandreth's Vegetable Universal Pills are no less a cure than a preventive of diseases. 11 hee we feel dull, pain in the head, back, or side, weary on the least exertion, then we ought to take a dose of theQe Pills. This will always have a good effect; because it is impossible for pain to be in the body without the presence of those homers which produce it, it is only by them being forced out by purging that health can be restored. It is at all times easier to prevent than to cure disease; because by taking a pre ventive course we do not debilitate the natural functions of the body, but rather strengthen and assist them; the peculiar action of Brandreth's Vegetable Unirer. sal Pills is to dense bloo d' from all im purities, remove every cause of pain or weakness, and restore the body to per fect health and vigor.
