For 50 cents a year, they can have access to a valuable li brary. Congress. On Monday of this week, the present Congress assembles. We suppose in our next we shall be enabled to lay below our readers the message of Captain Tyler. Speculation is now busy as to its con• tent•. For our part we cannot pretend to imagine what it will contain. His course has had so much of the per se about it, that he must be gifted with the spirit of prophecy who can speak with any certain ty. The physical operation of his ad• ministration are beyond the ken of any body, even himself. At the extra Session he needed tim. for consideration. The subject had been discussed, in Congress, in the State Leg islatures, in the public prints and in pub lic meetings, ONLY ten years, and his comprehensive mind was still in doubt as to the utility and legality of any insti: tution like a national bank. He wanted a little more time. That time has pass ed ; and as he changed his mind on the subject in the space of ten days during the extra Session, it is fair to presume that it has hail time to go through all its phases in the last two or three months. If such should prove to be the case, anil l he should have come to sny conclusion' which may seem to indicate any good, we' hope no imprudent letter writer will de• Aare his intention of "heading hint," be cause, he, like some of the Southern blood ed horses, some times sulks and will (14 , 1 nothing. But be that as it may, we may expect to learn before long whether he e l „ really intends, not only to act as a Loco Foci), but to openly declare that In is joined to his idols. • Much, and important business was done at the Extra Session, and we can see that many of the opposition papers are now calling out for repeal. Pie cannot be cer tain that the Capting may not consider the result of the late elections as expres• sions.of the people against those impor tant measures ; and for ought we lino.. recommend.a repeal in his message, be. cause he evinces a strong dislike to being, headed. One thing, though we may hope for, and that is, that the majority in both Houses can, and we doubt not, will, pre• serve the nation from so sad a disaster. %e do trust that they will remain firm of 'purpose; and go on with the good work already commenced independent of the jeers or opposition of the Locos ; and we also hope that they will fur once show that the long sesion can be a short one. It can hardly , be presumed that he will turn out Velo King, and use his power on every thing. file have our misgivings as to the certainty of much grind being done at this Session, and should the majority find our fears be realized, it is their duty to go home. They have no right to Stay there month after month, to try to satisfy the capriCe of any man. At any rate we shall see; and we will endeavor to keep our readers apprised of their doings The State Taxes. Hunting Nov. 2.5,113;c17 . Very soon our readers, and the people nr , M, A HENDERSON, gennrally will gegin tos, feel the beautie of the State tax; and they will then learn Having located himself in Huntingdon, re.

Sip n'c^•saily for Its existence. That on State is overwhelmed 'with debt, none cal deny, or, that a heavy State tax o eventually pay it. Yet would it not b. well to ask if the same end cannot be ai complished by other and less oneroo• means. If the money that is now squan dered on political favorites was saved tio the people there would be another stet. of affairs. Hundreds of thousands o f dollars, are now scattered among the pal try partisans of politics. Every petty officer now in a few years is a rich man, no matter how poor he was when he be gan. You can hardly name an instance, The repairs on our public works now, costs hundreds of thousands of dollars more than they did three or four years as go, even including in those years the ex penses and stealings on the big break; and we are told that the contractors fur the two reservoirs say they will realize a clear profit of FIFTY THOUSAND' DOLLARS. One thousand dollars is giv en to this lawyer for pleading a few hours in one case, and another thousand to a• nother; and the public mosey is a general purse for politicians, and he is considered the best and purest patriot who steals the most. It may do to talk about the absolute ne cessity of ~tote tax, but there is much ne cessity for economy. Hhen ever a rigid system of economy shall be commenced, not talked about, but practised, then may the people hope to see a gradual reduc tion of the State debt; and until that is.be• gan they need hope for nothing of the kind. To increase a spendthrift's in come never makes him either more wil ling or able io pay his debts. H. only squanders the more, and carries his purse strings the more carelessly. Our neighbors of the "Standard" have however, endeavored to prove that there , hould not be a tax on stone coal, or in other words, endeavor to ahoy that the tax is now eq3al. They say coal now pays "its full share in the payment of tills on the public works." If Coal lands should be exempt from their ratio of tax, because the coal pays a toll on the canal; why we ask in the name of justice should not the lands of the farmer be exempt, for his grain pays more toll on the canal than the coal. It is true, they say they do not intend to discuss the subject, yet they talk of such a tax being sensibly felt in the hovels and shanteesof the poor, plainly indicating their feelings. For our own part, we are willing to ad mit the largeness of the present State debt, and the certainty that it cannot or will not be lessened under the present state of affairs. Yet we are far from con• ceding that an unequal and onerous state tax is the only method to relieve the State. The plan we have here suggested we feel confident will accomplish the same end, without laying additional burthens on any class of community. It is true that it will lessen the income of the present plunderers in power, and consequently i•ou find them the most ardent and an xious supporters of the increased taxation. l'hey agree on the rule of three principle. If one million of dolli,rs gives three hun dred thousand dollars of stealings, two millions will give them just double the SUM to divide, or probably something more, as the larger the pile, the less like ly are the 'people to see when any ..ab atractioniat" has his fingers in the heap. We predicted in 1838 that a State tax would be laid, and we were not believed. The people have now lear ! the truth, and they have agreed to ait.,.4e end; and we with the multitude submit. the undersigned appointed a committee at the Temperance meeting, held in the bor- 1 ough of Huntingdon on the 18th inst., to en quire into the propriety of establishing a IEMPERANCE HOTEL, in said borough, CON NECTED WITH A READING ROOM, and PUB LIC LIBRARY; have on deliberate consider ation, come 'to the conclusion that it is.prop er and expedient and will be productive of much public good, comfort and conventtnce to establish such a Hott 1.
