Our Deputy Attorney General, on Wednesday last, after stating to the Court, Pennsylvania, ss. In the name and by the authority of die Com monwealth of Pennsylvania, DAVID R. PORTER, Governor of the said Commonwealth, to John Shaver, of the County of Huntingdon : SENDS GREETING: WHcur•.As by a Commission, under my hand and the Great Seal of the State, bear in.; date at Harrisburg, the third day of November, in the year of our Lord 1841, you, the said John Shaver, were duly commissioned Sheriff of the said county of Hunting. don, a return of your election by the qualified citizens of the said county having first been returned according to law. And whereas at the January Session of the Court of Quarter Sessions of the said county, you the said John Shaver were tried and con victed of a misdemeanor, and subsequently, to wit : en the 16th day of April, A. I). 1842, sentenced by the same Court to pay a fine of too to the Commonwealth for' the use of said county of Huntingdon, that you be imprisoned in the jail of said coun ty for one month, as the law directs, pay the costs of prosecution, and be in custody until the sentence be complied with. Now know you that by virtue of the power and authority vested in me by the Con • atitution and laws of this Commonwealth, and for the causes above slated, it fully appearing to me that you have not behaved yourself well in said office, and that you ought not any . longer to exercise the said office of Sheriff conferred upon you by virtue of said commission, I David It. Porter, Governor of the Commonwealth of Pennsyl• vania, aforesaid, do hereby revoke, annul, and supersede the aforesaid commission to you given, bearing date the 3d day of November, 1841, and all and every the powers, rights and duties incident thereto, and that henceforth you cease to exercise or perform any of the duties of Sheriff of said county of Huntingdon, under, or by virtue of the commission aforesaid, or to take any of the fees or emoluments which shall appertain in said office. Given under my hand and the Great Seal of the State at Harrisburg this 18th day of April, 1842. By the Governor, A. V. PARSONS, Secretary, 4.c, `I IT FULLY APPEARING TO NE, YOU HAVE NOT BEHAVED YOURSELF WELL IN SAID omen "!!! is not this going it strong? It is known to every person who knows any thing about the transaction alluded to, and for which Sheriff Shaver was convict ed and sentenced, as above stated, that the offence for which he was thus prose cuted, was committed previous to our last October election,--that the prosecution was commenced before he gave bail, and his commission issued to him as Sheriff,— that rrevietis to the commission issuing to him, there were forwarded to the Govers nor, by his friends, copies of the affidavit and complaint on which this prosecution was founded, with full wraten and verbal information on the subject,--and that since Mr. Shaver has been commissioned, there has not been a single allegation of, let alone a prosecution for, his misbehaving in the discharging of the duties of his dice. And yet, 0 shame, where is thy blush! our immaculate Executive says to him, "It fully appearing to me that you have not behaved yourself well in said of fice," THEREFORE, I remove you! ! Say you so, Master Kickapoo ? On the con trary, it manifestly and fully appearing that the assigned reason fur thus at tempting to remove Sheriff Shaver, is -utterly untrue; THKREFORF, this high handed act, this supercilious supersedeas is totally void and of no effect. The Gov ernor, under the facts of the case, and under the constitution and the laws, has no inure right and authority to do this than he has to supersede the title of the Twenty-Seventh Congress. Extracts from the Correspondence of the Philadelphia North American. WASHINGTON, Apil 5, 1842. The House has been to-day as it was yesterday the point of attraction, and Mr. ADAMS the magnet. Ile concluded the speech commenced by him yesterday, of which I afterwards regretted, I had not room to send you a ful ler abstract. When Mr. ADAMS concluded, Mr. CAMPBELL, of S. C. took the floor in de fence of the " peculiar institutions of the South." 'The Senate after passing a short time in the transaction of some unimportant business, went into Executive session on the recent Navy promotions, in which they continued during the day. April 16. The House has been engaged to•day on the General Appropriation bill After 13 o'clock, the House began to vote instead of talk, and in the then sitting, that he wished to read an of ficial document, read an order of the Gov ernor, of which the fullowing is a copy; which, it is believed, in utter, open, and shameless contempt and disregard of TRUTH and propriety, goes a little ahead of any other act of our present executive or his satelites. owner of any farm in the county, which he may covet. And it this is submitted to, that may he expected to folio*. It is true that Sheriff Shaver was en-, trapped into an agreement which was an offence against our election laws, by cet , tain persons whose object, as is manifest from the agreement, was, that if elected, he should bear all the responsibility, while they would receive all the profits. It is true our amended Constitution provides that "all officers for a term of years shall hold their offices for the terms respectively specified, only on the condition that they so lung behave themselves well ; and shall be removed on conviction of misbehavior; in office, or any infamous crime." But the Governor, reckless and daring as he, is, has nut dared to allege that the offence of which Sheriff Shaver has been convicted is an infamous crime within the meaning, of the Constitution and the laws, and put his attempted removal on that ground. It is not and cannot be pretended to be so ; and every person, who . knows any thing about it, knows that SherilTShaver has not been convicted of a misdemeanor for any thing done by him while in the discharge of the duties of his office. The act of Assembly declaring what Mr. Shaver has done and for which lie has been prosecu-, ted and convicted, an offence, has fixed and declared what the punishment shall be---fine and imprisonment ; and not, having made a forfeiture of office a part of the punishment, Governor Porte:, to suit his own views, or to meet the wishes of his peculiar friends, cannot make it so. course of three hours did more busines' than they had done in three weeks.

Long, in Lewis town, Pa., which he will endeavor at all times to keep on hand ready for use, he is making the three following sizes :. No 2, smallest size, receives a stick of wood 2 feet 4 inches long. No. 2 1-2 middle size receives a.stici of wood 2 feet 6 inches long. No. 3 largest size receives stick of wood 2 feet 8 inches long. This stove No 3. is calculated for 'lay erns, goat ding Houses, or other Muses where much cooking is requited. and No. 2. and 2& is calculated for the use of farmers and small families. There never has yet appeared any sys tem or plan of a cooking stove which haS the same advantage that this stove has. Its culinary purpose is not to be equalled.— its baking q uali ties are far superior to any other, as the hot air principle is the con tinuation of heat in the stove by which a much less quantity of fuel is requited to perform a much larger amount of cooking or baking than any other stove that hay formerly been used.
