MINORITY REPORT. Mr. LOWRY, from the Committee ap pointed to investigate whether any cor rupt means have, at any time, been em ployed by the Banks, or their agents, or any of thlm, directly or indirectly, for the purpose of influencing the action of the Legislature, or any other depart merit of the gm, ernment of this Com monwealth, in regard to any legislation for their benefit, respectfully submits the following Report : • The undersigned agrees with the ma jority of the Committee, that there is no EVIDENCE, direct or indirect, of any corruption on the part of the Executive or any member of the Legislature, but con siders it due to himself, his constituents, and the people of the Commonwealth gen erally, to state more fully and explicitly than has been done by the rest of the Committee, the facts connected with the transactions of 1340 arid the manner of investigation adopted by the Committee. In pursuance of their appointment, the committee has been in session from time to time since shortly after the period of its construction on the 9th of February last, up to the present date. A vast number of witnesses have been examined. The utmost latitude has been extended to them in their examination, arid in all cases, ex cept where reports related to a member of the committee, hearsay testimony was freely admitted. What the witnesses al leged they hail heard from others was freely received in evidence. The ordina ry rules of evidence were not only thus openly violated, but a most anxious spirit has at all times manifested itself in a ma jority of the committee, to raise even by suspicion, or hearsay evidence, ground to suppose that the Executive of our Coin. monwealth and members of the Legisla ture had been dealt with corruptly. Not content with this, the private affairs and business matters of individuals, not mein bers of the Legislature, or otherwise con nected with these transactions, were pry ed into and made the theme of irrelevant inquiry, and which was protested against , on more than one occasion by the minor- , ity. From the entire evidence and examina tion the undersigned has come to the con clusion, that in consequence of the situa tion in which the !making institutions of the Commonwealth were placed, and their inability to meet their engagements, from the mismanagement of those who were entrusted with the administration of their affairs, they deemed further legislation necessary to avoid the necessity of an im mediate resumption, and determined to get the time postponed as long as possi- , ble. The Institution, the management of whose sfirars most ttr/a.titwveti**-this, state of distress and embarrassment, nn-1 der which the monetary Concerns of the Communwealth suffered, was the Bank of the United States. Yet subsequent events have shown, that other large institutions located in the same city, have been con• ducted with scarcely more discretion, and with as little integrity. The charter of the institution named, was obtained in as evil moment from the Commonwealth, when an unfortunate division in the Dem ocratic party let their adversary into pow er, when corruption completed the work which party dissension had permitted to be commenced. The community has re alized Ly bitter experience the seeds thus sown, and the reckless spirit of specula tion and corruption with the expansion consequent on the doubling of the nominal banking capital of the State, and the im proper means to accomplish it, has done as much to injure the morals of the citi.' zens as it has to sap the prosperity, and paralize the business energies of the com munity. Asa part of the evils growing out of the manner in which the charter of the bank of . the United States was obtained, this investigation has proved that those having the management of that institution were willing to ir4e its funds to purchase legislation in its behalf in the year 1840, and {hat it eraorvered its agents, and -111 P— 'he -- 11y1, pusb._ . some of them have avowed, to obtain the largest amount of money possible from their employers. The undersigned is pleased to be able to state, that there has ; not been established one single fact tend ing in the slightest degree to implicate the Executive of the Commonwealth, or show ing that he had any knowledge whatever of the course of procedure pursued by George Handy, Daniel M. Brodhead, Jo seph Soling, George Read and other per sons in the employ of the bank, of the United Slates. If ever there was a public functionary, who has been unjustly slan dered and abused, without the shadow of foundation, by his political adversaries, it huts been the Executive of Pennsylvania in regard to these transactions. Every wit ness examined when put to the test, has lul!y and expressly EXCULPATED and ACQUITTED the Executive from the re-I • mutest suspicion of knowing any thing of, or encouraging those proceedings of the bank of the United States and its agents. , And tha undersigned is also pleased to r he able to state, with equal truth, that no fact has been established to show that any member of either branch of the Legisla . turn was induced by corrupt or improper , means to vote for, or advocate, the exten i sion of the period for the resumption of specie payments. The whole matter de veloped appears to have consisted in a regular and systematic, as well as success • fu I, attempt, on the part of those employ ed by the bank, under the usual denorni ' nation of BORERS, to make an impres ' sion upon their employers, that they were • men of great consequence at the seat of government, and successful in their at-. tempts to corrupt members of the Legisla ture and officers of the government, and that they needed large sums for this alle ged object, which they readily obtained. That the allegations of their influence and success were WHOLLY UNTRUE? That they themselves pocketed the am ount thus obtained by means of these un just representations, the undersigned thinks no man who is free from suspicion and desirous to do justice, will after a fair examination deny. Whether these conspirators, after thus obtaining the money from the bank, made a division of this ill-gotten gain, the undersigned is not prepared to say, and it is perfectly immaterial to the public, whether the money was divided by them or it was principally paid over to Daniel M. Brodhead, as would appear from the testimony of George Handy, or whether Handy received his share of the spoils by an extensive sale of real estate which he made to Brodhead, or in some other way. This the undersigned deems altogether immaterial. The immorality of those who thus obtained the money, c hick be longed to the stockholders and creditors of the bank, cannot be too highly repro bated ; but their criminality in a moral point of view, is but little greater than that of those who did pay then, with mo ney which they knew belonged to oth ers, for the nelarious purpose to which it was alleged it was to be applied. • ' it is clearly shewn by the testimony of George Read, with other concurrent facts and circumstances, disclosed during the' investigation, that the main object in wri•'' ting the various letters which were pro-' duced before the committee by George Handy, was to magnify in the eyes of the bank the importance of those who were acting their prominent part at Harrisburg. It the testimony is at all to be relied on, or if circumstances can prove any fact, at least the President and some of the di- rectors read them, and knew their con- That'ihey were written fur the purpose of including the bank to pay as . great an amount of money as possible, cannot be doubted. No evidence is given ' which warrants a suspicion that the Exec• utive, or any member of the Legislature, ' knew of the existence of this conspiracy. If the Executive, or a majority of the mein bers of the Legislature, were favorable to ' the law passed in 1840, giving an eaten , sion of the period for a resumption of spe cie payments by the banks, it was because ' they honestly believed it would promote the general interest of the State, and save many men from the ruin which an imme diate contraction would inevitably pro-' duce, and not from any corrupt manage ' ment or dishonest motive. Nor is there any thing in the testimony which will war-' ' rant any other conclusion. A desire to complete the improvements of the Commonwealth, upon which mil lions had already been expended, and without which millions would be lost to the State —a desire to keep those already completed in repair, without which they would be useless—a desire to pay prompt. ly the public creditors of the State—all of which it was thought that bill would accomplish, brought local interests of no ordinary character to its support, and in duced members of the democratic party in both branches of the Leg islature to yield t^ -.xpediency. By that lever, and that te, a few men of the one party were iced from good motives, to side with .e of opposite political opinions, the, er of whom supported it with entire inituity. From these considerations !mbers of the democtittic party yielded what they deemed the imperious re rements of duty, and sided with the , ticates of a party that has always ous ted the banking system, so disastrous he interests and morals of our coun- _ ...... 'he undersigne*curs in opinion, he Ike with every member of the commit that criminal prosecutions should be ituted against Daniel M. Brodhead, Jo . Solms, and George Read, but he is liltsatisfied to let George Handy escape r the act of assembly directing a nolle psiqui to be entered, upon condition he would tell the mhole truth. To repine over the past is melees, but for the cause of justice itself; as well as in justice to the Executive, I cannot but express my egret, that his determination as express iii his message to both bran. ches of the Legislature, on the sth day of April, was thwarted by those who had charge of the letters, •in not producing the' evidence of the guilt of those en before Judge Barton. A failure to puce those letters, to be read in court, has enabled the principal in these transactions to es cape temporarily, if not forever. Had those letters been produced, Daniel M. Brodhead would now be within the reach of the law, in which event it would have been gown, that he too wrote just such letters as would induce the bank to pay the most money. Whatever diversity of opinion the pub lic may have at one time entertained, as to the propriety of that prosecution, sub-, sequent events have clearly demonstrated the wisdom as well as the purity of the motives of the Executive. in ordering it.— The means used for political effect to de feat it, have stamped the matter to all fu ture time with its true character, and the slanders poured forth on this account against the Executive, like all other innpu , tenons on that functionary will speedily correct themselves in the minds of the public. But justice is left to suffer by per. initting the guilty to go to parts unknown, with a view to found upon mere partial ' statements, imputations designed to live when the actors in these scenes shall be numbered with the dead. The honest historian, in recording the facts connect ed with the downfall of the greatest mon eyed institution this Union ever witnessed must of necessity advert with unmingled satisfaction to every act of the Executive of our State in relation to it, and dwell with peculiar delight upon his efforts to bring those who have sucked and plund ered to the bar of justice. It is a striking fact and one which strongly illustrates its enormous tricked. ness, that the very individuals who by fraud and corruption brought it into pow er as a Pennsylvania Institution, after the Union had rejected, have turned abruptly round and charged their own high offences on the democratic party, which, from prin ciple and high policy, has uniformly con tended in opposition to it. The under signed, however, conceived this a fruitless task, and thinks that these men will have to share the responsibility of its rise and downfall among themselves. The ver dict of an impartial posterity will say the whig party created it; its advocates and agents plundered its stockholders and creditors, and the democratic party had neither part nor lot therein. The undersigned takes this occasion, in self defence to say that the majority of the Committee, without any good results subpoenaed a vast bomber of witnesses from remote parts of the Commonwealth at a very heavy expense to our exhausted treasury, without the knowledge or con sent of the minority. In this as in all other abuses, let the blame be cast where it properly belongs. The undersigned cannot close this re port without remarking, that in as much as testimony of a hearsay and irrelevant character in any quantity was received concerning the Executive, he considered it due to that functionary, and to the pub lic, that he should he subpoenaed and ex amined on oath, in order that :':e might exculpate himself from the unjust unplica tions attempted to be fixed upon him.— Accordingly the minority retry : Lid to have Governor Porter subpeenaedsbut the majority refused. They did agree after much consideration that the Executive of Pennsylvania might make himself a wit ness and consequently a party to the ex amination and that they would then con decentl to hear him. The undersigned considers this discourtous towards the minority, particularly so, as this was the only favor requested, or witness whom they solicited the authority to examine.-- This refusal the undersigned regards as especially unjust towards the public, and infinitely unfair towards the Execvtive. M. B. LOWRY. Mr. DEFORD from the same commit tee submitted the following: 1 deem it an act of Justice to state, as one of the Committee of Investigation, that there was no evidence before us whatever of any authority from the Governor to any one to use his name in the manner in which it is done in some letters before us; nor does it appear from the evidence before us that he had any knowledge of agents being employed by the Banks to use any cor rupt means for the purpose of effecting legislation for their benefit. And 'desire this further statement to be entered on the Jdurnal, in addition to the report already made by the majority , July 12, 1842 J. H. DEFORD. Horrid and Barbarous alter- der. A most horrid and Barbarous murder was committed in the vicinity of Ebens burg, Cambria county, on the night of Sunday the Slot ult., upon the body of an inoffensive old woman, named Elisabeth Holder, who kept a cake-shop by the roadside. The " Mountqineer" gives the following particulars : • On Sunday last two Irishmen, said to be the name of Flanagan, made their ap pearance in the neighborhood, and spent the day in a suspicious manner, some times in deep consultation together, and sometimes drinking and lurking about the taverns. About eleven o'clock at night they broke into the house of Mr sd Eliza beth Holder, a lone widow, who haided near Ebensburg, and who was thought by some persons t. some money in her house. At th attack she screamed a few times very violently, and her next neighbor a Mr. John Rainy, who hat? re tired to bed, heard her and ran to her as. sistance, but ere he got there the , struggle was all over and she was no nitre, and they plundered the house,—Mr. Rainey was afraid to venture into the house alone, and ran off for more assistance—four or five men soon came along with him, and they arrived there just as the murderers were about leaving, atter having tried to set fire to the house. The citizens endeavored to take them, and fired a rifle at one of them, but miss ed him ; they made their escape in the darkness of the night into the neighboring woods. The citizens of this neighboH hood are greatly excited, and immediately' after the alarm was given of the deed hav ing been committed, they turned out to a man to have the murderers taken, but they have yet escaped They were frequently seen on Monday and very nealy taken two or three times. Before they commenced the work of mur• der, they took off their hats, and one of them his coat, and lett them outside of the house, lest as supposed they should be besmeared with the blood of their inno cent victim. They had not time to get their garments when they escaped. They are consequently, one ofthem at least, run ning without hat or coat. The other got an old chirhat at a farm house early on Monday morning. lt is thought they could not have got more than three or tour dollars in the house. A reward of $lOO is offered for their arrest, or %V for either of them, by the Sheriff of tke 'county. 'An additional sum will doubtless be offered by the Governor. --Hollidaysburg Register, From the York Republican Balloon ascension. Agreeably to previous notice, Mr. JOHN WISE, the experienced and succession /Eronaut, ascended in his Balloon on last Saturday afternoon from the Commons appurtenant of this borough. The wind blowing a prety violent gale from the South west at the time appointed to com mence the inflation of the air-ship, the preparations were necessarily postponed, and the ascension took place at a later hour than the time appointed by adver tisement. Nevertheless Mr. WISE made his arrangements with great judgment and skill, and a few minutes after 4 'O'clock, P. M. rose buoyantly from the enclosure in which the inflation took place, and after throwing over some ballast rapidly ascen ded to the regions of upper air, his course being North of East. In some fifteen minutes from the time of departure, he was lost to sight in consequence of his having passed through a cloud and assu• med a position above it. The direction of his journey after he reached the upper, starta of our air become more southward ly ;1 and he crossed the river Susquehanna' nearly over the Columbia Bridge, passing' above Wrightsville and Columbia and' near Lancaster, and decending in the vt cinity of New Holland, in Earl Township, Lancaster County--a distance 'of about thirty eight miles from his starting point, which he traversed in fifty eight minutes. The whole affair passed off to the entire satisfaction of the very numerous con course of people who assembled to wit ness the novel spectacle • and not the slightest injury happened either to the adventurous /Eronaut—his balloon or any of the spectators. The following account of incidents of, and the impressions produced by his /Erial Voyage, furnished by Mr. Wise, will prove interesting: MESSRS COCHRAN : In furnishing you the particulars of my Stith Atmospheric voyage, made from your Borough on Saturday last, per mit me to remark, that this occasion has afforded me a greater degree of gratifica tion, than it has yet fallen to my lot to enjoy, whilst pursuing the occupation of a'professional JEronaut, knowing as I did, the perjudices 1 should meet with, occac sioned by the recent failures of those who, proposed to make ascensions from York; and then unfortunately hitting upon an unfavorable day myself, which caused me to defer the inflation for three hours.—, I cannot avoid making a public acknowl-' edgement of the obligation I owe to the, immense mass of people gathered on the occasion, for their decorum and forbea rance towards me under such unfavorable circumstances. At 15 minutes past 4 o'clock the Ae rial Ship United States was released from her moorings, under a heavy gale from the . S. W., gliding swiftly from the surface of the earth, until the ascending power was increased by the discharge of ballast to the amount of forty pounds. When at a distance of several miles from the com mon, the ascent became very rapid. At 8 minutes after my departure I passed be• hind some filmy clouds, going nearly a parallel line with the Railroad, and in a few minutes after overtook the Locomos tive which had started about a, quarter of an hour before. At 4 o'clock 30 minutes I commenced penetrating a dense stra tum of clouds. Having now enjoyed a splendid view of the country, for a dis tance.of 30 miles in every direction, bring ing to view over 50 towns and villages, innumerable rivulets, with the splendid scenery bordering on each side of the Sus quehanna. At the time of entering the clouds the atmosphere grew extremely cold; but after passing through the lower stratum, and entering into the shadow of the upper LAYER, it became so intense, that my breath was freely converted into hoar frost. I did not suffer much from this cold atmosphere—in consequence of a sufficent degree of excitement kept up by a combination of causes, (and it would be a senseless being indeed that could pass through such scenes without excite ment.) At the time of penetrating the clouds, an incident occurred which gave rise to the most beautiful Phenomenon that Ilhave ever yet beheld. In attempt ing to tr. the eontlition of the valve, I dis covered thar the rope which works it had become matted in a fold of the Balloon, and in giving it a sudden jerk to release it, a strip of about 5 feet long and about 7 inches wide was torn from the lower side, of the Balloon. After having passed en titely above the clouds the atmosphere, felt congenial, and a most brilliant cloud scene lay beneath me, a spacious snoW white cavity, with a great many prom'. nelices, and projections, jutting up from the surface. To the S. E. an immense precipice came towering up above the sur face, and immediately I heard a report like heavy Artillery, but soon discovered from the vivid flashes of lightning, that a thunder storm was raging beneath. I took particular notice that all these projections, pointed and rose towards the Sun. Whilst contemplating this majestic grandeur, I involuntarily burst forth in a fervent pray er of thanks to the Creator, for the tran cendent privilege I was enjoying. The shadow of the Balloon was all the time, visible on the surface of the clouds ; but after getting to such a bight, that it be• l caine completely distended, I discharged, gas from the valve, at the same time a co pious discharge was going out at the rent.' titre I discovered the phenomenon men tioned above. Around the shadow of the Balloon there appeared a bright blue ring, and on the outside of the ring, there was a brilliant halo of fiery red, and when I near; ed the surface of the clouds, by a gentle decent, there appeared another shadow, inverted, both of which faded away slow ly as I sank into the clouds. This was the most splendid sight I have ever yet he held. As I passed through this cold medium again, my spirits became painfully depres sed. I was shivering from the effects of the cold atmosphere, and the transaction from so beautiful a heaven perhaps increas ed if it did not cause my morbid feelings. But my stay in this dismal abode was of short duration. I soon passed down through the clouds to behold as beautiful a country as the eye ever gazed upon.— The fertile soil of Lancaster county be neath, and I was fast approaching the; place of my birth ;—and a thousand re collections rushed upon my mind, and I, looked upon the pleasure grounds of my' youthful days. The city of Lancaster', presented a handsome appearance. 1 could also again see York, and the towns were passed over. The crookedest of streams, the Conestoga, the many little rivulets, the water works, the long Rail road bridges on each side of the town, the I Locomotive puffing towards the city with a train of cars, the Lutheran Steeple with, its snow white dress, and glittering balll and vane—all these objects appeared so, familiar, and .yet so beautiful, that my spir-I its were again invigorated, and felt cheer ful and happy. Yet a solemnity prevails, or, these occasions that I cannot attempt to describe. My course was immediately over the town of Lancaster, and alter hav,. ing passed it, I commenced a gentle scent. at.fimaAkin u tes past five o'clock. When within about half a mile from the earth, I again fell into the current from the S. W. which carried the Balloon in a direction between the village of New Holland and the Welsh Mountain, where I landed on the farm of William Heister, Esq. at 13 minutes past 5 o'clock, having travelled 36 miles in 58 minutes. My course during this voyage possessed the advantage of two currents of air, va rying about 70 degrees. The lower current blowing from the S. W. the upper current from W. by N. At the greatest altitude, which was about two and a quar ter miles, the velocity of the wind being the greatest, moving at the rate of about 50 miles per hour. The temperature varied with the con dition of the clouds, growing colder as I neared the lower stratum, but varied as the clouds were more or less dense, but in passing entirely above them, the sun produced a degree of warmth around the Balloon which made the situation pleasant. It appears to me that a field of unex plored Philosophy, sufficient to absorb the acutest and most searching minds, re mains neglected. I should like to see an Aeronautic Society established in some of our large cities, for the purpose of pro secuting the investigation of those sciences, of which the success depends wholly up on the aid of Aerostation. I would embrace this opportunity of re turning my unfeigned thanks to the very respectable audience that honored me with their presence, and particularly the kbes of York. Also my obligations to the ex cellent Band of Music, under the .able 'charge of Mr. Young. I shall ever remain the public's . • • most obedien6ervent, JOHN \VISE, York, August 2, 1842: S Ta r z a W.
