that negociations were entered into and
completed between the said Isaac G.
BVKinley, flutter & Jligler and other
persons, supposed to have influence with
the members of the Legislature, by wlikb
large sums of money were paid or contr,c
ted to be paid, by the individuals
to those third persons, for their aid and
influence in procuring their election. In
some instances, as t have 'teen assured,
the sums paid, or contracted to be plid,
depend upon the number of votes proems
red by the contracting parties for the suc
cessful candidates, and thus was exhibi
ted a scene of scandalous bargaining and
selling, alike disgraceful to the parties
concerned, and dangerous to the purity
of elections. It is nut to be presumed
that this scheme of office purchasing was
known to any member of the Legislature ;
fur, if it had been, the parties concerned
would, I have no doubt, been exposed and
consequently defeated. As this transac
tion more immediately concerns the purity
and boffir of the Legislature itself, I need
only call your attention to these circum
stances, and have no doubt you will (eel
it to be your duty to institute a thorough
investigation into the frauds thus pi acticed
upon tile Legislature, to procure an elec
tion. Should the facts, upon examination,
be found to be, as I have the strongest
reason to think they are, can it be, that a
single member of the Legislature will
recognize the validity of an election thus
procnred ? Let it be known that candi
dates can resort to such means to accom
plish their purposes, and there is an end of
all confidence and respect for our Legi•-
latures. It is one of the elementary
principles of every enlighten system
of jurisprudence, that fraud vitiates every
contract into which it enters ; and, in
every stage of completion, the contracts
are arrested as soon as the fraud is diss
covered. There can be no fraudulent
parctice more odious than one like this
striking at the purity of legislation, aad I
am confident the representatives of the
people will apply a thorough corrective
the instant they are made acquainted with
the facts.
No inconvenience has arisen thus far,
ncr detriment to the public interest, from
my refusal to approve the bonds offered
by the individuals claiming to have been
elected. The portion of the law, there
fore, pointing out the mode of electing
State Printers, not having been complied
with, the matters rest with you to make
such provisions on this subject, as you
believe the public welfare requires. The
frauds practiced upon the public by some
of those persons entrusted with the puhltc
printing, the last few years, are too maiaa
hle and notorious to pass unnoticed, and
whatever measures the Legislature may
think proper to adopt, will, I trust, pro.
wide security against their recurrence.
It is no disparagement to her sister
States to assume, that Pennsylvania, in
bergeographical position, and in her min
eral and agricultural resources, is sur
passed by none in the Union. fler pip
ulation, for hardy and elDctive industry,
presents a model - worth of all praise, and
this industry, devoted to a constant de
velopement of her vast mineral wealth,
cannot fail, in good time, to produce the
most astonishing results.
There is hardly a mountain or valley
within her borders, that does not abound
in deposits of coal or iron. Our canals
and railroads penetrate almost every one
of these mineral regions, and furnish diem
with a cheap and ready highway to market.
If those entrusted with the guardi whip
cif the pudic welfare, are hut true to their
trust, the day is not far distant, when
Pennsylvania nito.t become the great work
•ahop of the American Union, for the pro
duction &coal and iron. & the fabrics con
structed from these materials. If these
great interests are surrendered to some
Imaginary, th-oretic, Arcadian scheme of
free trade, we may still continue to serve
as hewers of wood and drawers of water
to foreign capitalists and artizans, and our
incalculable mineral deposites, may lie
useless for ages. I trust,however,the peo
ple of thin Commonwealth will never be
seduced into a sacrifice of their dearest
rights.
The policy of standing, by her own in
terests, has been, for the last halt century,
too deeply fixed in /Pennsylvania, to be
abandoned without a struggle ; and those
of her public servants who would advise
the surrender of any of her staple produc
tions, without the fostering succor of the
Government, will soon find on how mis
taken an estimate of popular feeling they
'have relied. It is idle to talk of recipro
city of trade, when England will not re•
ceive our flour under a prohibitory duty of
less than three dollars per barrel—for us
to receive her coal and iron free, or nearly
so. of ditty.
Free trade and reciprocity of duty, like
the golden rule, are beautiful and benign
in theory, and, if universally carried out
'in practice, would render mankind better
and more acceptable to their Maker; but,
unhappily,this obligation is voluntary,and
is assumed only by the less crafty and
grasping of men and nations who are used
for their own ends by the rest. This fun
damental truth is taught by all history,
and was familiar to our fathers. Come
what may, we cannot desert the standard
of Pennsylvania ; and I, for one, have bat.
tied under it too long to see it struck
without a manly effort to uphold it. It we
are true to ourselves, and those who come
after us but do their duty without shrink
ing, Pennsylvania will soon be placed in
her true position.
Our agriculturists, manufacturers, me
chanics, and every class of citizens, are
alike interested in a steadfast adherence

rram Harrisburg.
We condense from letters and papers received
from friends at Harrisburg, the following legislative
intelligence.
Both Houses organized on Tuesday the 2d inst.,
the lower House at 10 o'clock A. M., and the Sen
ate 3, P. M.
In the Senate Hon. Wm. Bigler, of Clearfield,
was unanimously re-elected Speaker.
In the House James R. Snowden, of Venango
was elected Speaker, by 50 votes, over George W.
Takla, of Philadelphia city, who received 41
votes. On Wednesday Wm. J. B. Andrews was
elected Chief Clerk of the House—he receiving 50
votes, and David Fleming 40. D. M. Stedman
was elected Sergeant -at-Arms and Andeew Krause
Door Keeper, without opposition. At half past 11
o'clock the annual message was sent in and rood.
On Friday an effort was made to get up an In
vestigating Committee in relation to the frauds
which the Governor charges in his message against
the State printers elect. The effort failed then, and
may finally fail, but considerable excitement pre
vails, and some sharp shooting is expected.
Mr. M'Williams offered a resolution, requiring
the Clerk to keep an account of all the stationary,
goods, &c., which lie had given or should give to
any of the members, that it should be entered on
the journal, and the amount deducted from the pay
of the members respectively. The resolution cau
sed some uneasiness. It had a majority against it
on second reading; but when the yeas and,nays
were called it was sustained by 69 to 29. Its ene
mica, however, fatally succeeded in referring it to
the judiciary committee, where they expect it to
rest. The mover of the resolution will not let it
die in peace.
- -
In juetice to Mr. M'Williams, we state that ho
purchased his stationary at his own expense, as
was his duty. He wished to be ready to act with
the friends of reform, and oppose all alias to vio-
late the law of the last session to reduce the expen
ses of government. It seems that the majority are
determined to launch out again in all the extrava
gance of former Locofoco legislatures, regardless of
the law, and an empty treasury.
Candidate for Governor,
Since the declination of the Hon. T. M. T. M'-
Kerman, the prospect of the nomination of the
"popular Congressman," Gen. 'AMEN Invite, is
fairer than ever. We look with a great degree of
confidence for his nomination by the 4th of March
Convention ; for it is every where conteded that he
is not only the best, but also the most available
candidate before tho public, for that high station—
Executive of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
Last week the Mifflin county delegates were ap
pointed, and instructed to support Gen. Irvin in
the State Convention. Juniata has also appointed
Irvin delegates. The delegates to be appointed by
our meeting to-eight will lie friendly to Gen. Irvin,
for he is the preference of all here. In Centre
county, we believe, the same unanimity prevails in
favor of Gen. James Irvin, so that it is certain that
all the delegates from this Congressional District
will be friendly to his nomination.
The appointment of Irvin delegates in Mifflin
county exceeds even our most sanguine expecta
tions. Knowing that Judge Banks has many strong
personal and political friends in his native county—
Mifflin—it was expected that lie would - obtain the
votes of the delegates from that county. But it
seems that Gen. Irvin's popularity knows no bounds,
where he is best known, and has beaten down all
opposition even in Mifflin county. Judge Banks is
undoubtedly a worthy man and would make a good
Governor; but Gen. Irvin can, in this Congression
al District, run at least 2000 votes ahead of any
other man of the same party; and we have good
reason to believe that his popularity is not confined
to this district only.
With Gen. IRVIN for Governor, CLAY for
President, and any good man, either JOHN SER-
I GEANT, HARMER DENNY or T. M. T.
KENNAN, for Vice President, we could make a
clean sweep in Pennsylvania next fall, as the Lo-
cofocos well know.
O.J Several articles prepared for to-days paper are
omitted to make room for the Governor's Message.
Arrival of the Banner Stair.
A Baltimore Patriot of week before last contain
the following interesting item of news:
The cars arrived last evening from the West,
bringing the staff for the Whig prize Banner.—
Notwithstanding the inclemency of the weather, the
rain pouring down in torrents at the time of the ar
rival of the cars, more than a thousand of Whigs
had assembled at the cars to receive it—and at the
same time to bid welcome to the two "same old
coons" sent by the Whigs of old Allegheny, as a
present to the Whigs of the city.
The car in which the staff Was brought. was
tastefully decorated with evergreens; and was mar•
From the Clinton County Whig.
NEXT GOVERNOR.
Mr. Strohm—Gen. James Irvin.
Mr. STROHM is strongly recommended as the
Whig candidate for Governor in 1844. Mr. S. is
a good man, and in all probability a strong man;
but it is our firm and honest belief that Gen. JAMES
IRVIN is the most available man upon whom the
party could unite. With Henry Clay and "the
popular Congressman," as their candidates for
President and Governor in 1844, the Whigs can
carry the Keystone State by a larger majority than
that of 1940. Does any one doubt Gen. Irvin's
popularity 1 Does not the result of the late elec
tion silence all doubts on that point, and prove con
clusively that he is at home in the affections of the
people? And not only is he popular, but he pos
sesses talents of a superior order, and is a plain'
honest, consistent, and honorable politician, and
withal a purely honest man. He is, too, extensive
ly acquainted throughout the entire state, and has
many warm personal and political friends every
where, who would put forth a mighty effort to se
cure his election, if nominated. Gen. Irvin, if a
candidate for Governor, could command a stronger
vote by some thousands, in North and North Wes
tern Pennsylvania, than any other man in the Whig
ranks, with the exception of Mr. M'Kennan. To
convince our friends of this fact, we need only re
fer them to the result of the recent election. In
point of talent and integrity Gen. Irvin is second to
nono of the distinguished gentlemen whose names
have been mentioned in connection with the nomi
nation for Governor; and as regards availability,
he certainly possesses it in a very eminent degree.
Several distinguished Whigs have been recommen
ded for nomination, but none so strongly as Gen.
Irvin. The following Journals have thrown the
banner to the breeze, with the name of Gen. JAMES
IRVIN inscribed upon its ample folds, as their first
choice for Governor; Huntingdon Jmunal, Holli•
daysburg Register, Bellefonte Whig, Muncy Lu
minary, Clinton County Whig. The Lewistown
Gazette, Cambria Gazette, Bradford Argus, and a
number of other prominent Whig Journals have
intimated, in pretty strong terms, that Gen. Irvin is
their choice, while the Harrisburg Telegraph, and
Intelligencer, Philadelphia Enquirer, Philadelphia
Forum, and other distinguished Journals, have spo
ken of Gen. Irvin as being next to Mr. M'Kennun,
decidedly the strongest and moat suitable individual
recommended as the Whig candidate for Governor
in 1914.
Mr. Srnonx is a most excellent man—we ad
mire his superior talents, and love him for his pa
triotic and disinterested devotion to Democratic
Whig principles—but we honestly believe that to
elect him would be impossible. If we expect to
defeat the cunning loco feces in '49, we must place
in nomination a man who is popular with TILE
PEOPLE—one who can command not only the
support of the People of his own county and dis
trict, hut the support of the people of every section
of the Commonwealth. And that man is General
JAMES IRVIN, of Centre County, the popular
Congressman" elect from that district.
Seduction and Murder.
We learn, says the Cincinnati Commercial, that
a young man, formerly of Tennessee, named Was
son, was murdered in Laporte co., Ind„ about ten
days ago, by Gen. Beardsley, whose daughter he
had seduced. The General took the young man
into a room, referred to the condition of his daugh
ter, and demanded of Wasson to marry her, when
on his refusing, the injured father drew a pistol and
shot him through the heart! Gen. B. delivered
himself up to the authorities.
CCI. The Frankfort, (Ky.) Commonwealth, in
noting the arrival of Col. Johnson at Frankfort, on
his way home, reports that the Colonel says that
nothing can prevent the election of Henry Clay,
unless the Colonel himself should be a candidate.
Even in this latter contingency, the Colonel
might find "Old Harry" a harder colt to ride over,
than the Indian, Tecumseh!
