to her by will; and upon such renuncia
tion, she is entitled to (lower of her hus
bands' reel estate, of which he died
seized. The wife has no control of her
own personal estate ; or of that of her
husband during the initrriage, unless it
be an extorted allowance for necessa
ries ; and at her death, she has no pow
er to dispose of even that which was her
own, by Will ; but the whole belongs to
the husband. The husband mo,y en
cumber his estate, by contracting debts
without the consent of his wife ; and
upon his dying intestate, she is only en
titled to the one-third of the personal
estate, and a life estate in one third of
the real estate, after the payment of all
the debts ; and, if the estate is not suffi
cient to the payment of the debts, she
loses all. But the wife cannot encum
ber the real estate she holds in her own
right, and upon her death, the whole
vests in the husband, during his natu
ral life.
The policy, as well as the justice of
this distinction; made by the law in fa
vor of the husband, and against the
wife, may well be questioned. The lib
eral and enlightened spirit of the age,
hat developed and secured the rights of
man, and has redeemed woman and ele
vated her, from the degrading position
she occupied, and placed her, where she
always should have been, at the side of
her husband, his equal in rank and dig
nity. Then why should her rights of
property still be, to a great extent, con
trolled by the contracted end illiberal
enactments of an age when her husband
was her lord, and he might chastise her,
by law, as if she were a servant '1 Our
law very carefully provides, that the
husband shall not, without the formal
consent of his wife, convey his real es
tate by deed, so as to Isar her right of
dower, and if this consent is not given,
her right is protected, after his death,
against the claims of his creditors.- -
Now, if this be a sound principle, and
worthy of the solemn sanctions it has
received from the Legislature and the
Judiciary, why should it nut be extend
ed, so as to preserve to the widow her
dower, in all cases where the husband
has not only by deed, but by other
means, sanctioned by the law, disposed.
of his real estate, without the formal
consent of his . wife 1 If the husband
contracts debts, his real estate is as ef
fectually transferred by the law, for the
use of his creditors, us if he had con
veyed it by deed, with the consent of
his wife :—thus the law, at present, en
ables the husband, by one mode of trans
fer, to bar his wife's dower, without her
consent, while it protects her right with
the greatest pertinacity, if he adopts
another mode of transfer. If the wid
ow's right of dower is good in one case,
as is universally admitted, it is equally
as good in the other, and the power of
the husband to take it away, by chan
ging the mode of transferring the estate,
is destructive of a sound and well es
tablished principle, arid should be re
pealed. This conclusion appears to me
to be irresistible ; and I, therefore, re
-commend the passage of a law, securing
to married women their right of dower,
in all cases where the estates of their
husbands are transferred, after the pass
age of the act, without their formal con
sent.
• In the annual message, to the Legis
lature, at the lust session, and in sever
al messages containing objections to
hills for dissolving marriage contracts,
I have expressed my opinions upon the
subject of granting legislative divorces.
These opinions have been strengthened
by further reflection, and I shall adhere
to them.
The great purposes for which the law
making power was established in the
Commonwealth, have been accomplish
ed. General laws have been enacted,
and have received the approbation of
the people, for securing the enjoyment
of the life, the liberty, and reputation
•of the citizens, and for protecting them
in the acquisition, possession, and trans
mission, of property, and in the pursuit
of their own happiness. The founda
tion of good government being thus laid,
the time of the General Assembly at its
annual sessions, is more occupied in
providing for the contingencies that
arise in the progress of our affnirs, than
in changing the organic laws, as is at
tested by reference to the annual enact
ments of the Legislature. For some
years past, but few general, while a
large number of local laws, have been
-enacted. The tendency seems to be to
substitute special, for general legisla
tion ; a practice which may well be re
garded as of doubtful utility—and it
presents a question, which, in my opin
ion, deserves grave consideration. Gen
eral laws, affecting the whole communi
ty, receive, in their discussion, the de
liberate consideration of all the Repre
sentatives of the people. That which
interests all, arrests the attention, and
secures the cure and close investigation
of all. Hence, general laws have im
pressed upon them, the wisdom, the ex
perience, and the judgment, of every
member of the Legislature. Having
received this deliberate sanction, they
usually meet with the approbation of the
people, and become permanent rules of
action. This reasonable practice, lim
its and simplifies the questions submit
ted for legislative discussion, is calcula
ted to shorten the sessions, reduce the
expenses of government, and give dig
nity and importance to the proceedings
of the General Assembly.
On the other hand, local legislation
excites no interest. A few members,
only, who represent the county, town
ship or borough, in which the change of I
the law is proposed, are concerned in
arranging the provisions, and being too
often passed upon their request, those
special acts are sent forth, with all the
imperfections, which the wisdom and
deliberate care of the whole body, if
they had been general laws, would have I
corrected . The direct tendency of this
practice, is to multiply the demand for
local laws—a demand which has increa
sed from year to year, to an alarming
extent, which no industry of the Gener
al Assembly will be able within the lim
its of an ordinary session to satisfy, if
the practice is continued. Is it not im
practicable, in a great State like Penn
sylvania to provide special acts to meet
all the different and changing views of
the citizens, of every borough, town
ship and county l and if this were prac
ticable, would not the policy of estab
lishing an infinite variety of different
rules, for the same people, be exceed
ingly questionable, and introduce great
confusion and uncertainty Would it
not defeat one great and beneficial ob
ject of sound legislation, which is per
manency of the laws s there not true
wisdom, and sound policy, in preserving
and strengthening the unity of the Corn
inomwealth, and in maintaining uniform
interests, customs and• habits It is
true, there are shades of difference in
the condition and local circumstances of
the citizens, of separate districts of the
State; but, in an advancing and impro
ving country, where intercourse is so
direct, and the social relations of life
are so generally diflhsed, these will gra
dually and certainly disappear under
the influence of general laws. We are
one people without reference to our an
cestry, or the place of our birth. We
are all Pennsylvanians—we have the
same constitution of government—the
same common rights—then why should
we not have the same common
In conclusion, permit me to assure
you, gentlemen, that I shall most hear
tily co-operate with you, in all your
etibrts to advance our beloved Common
wealth, and to promote the welfare of
the people.

0:7- Thanks to Hon. John Blanchard
for a continuation of his favors. Also,
to Messrs. Evans, Blair and King, f the
State Legislature, for favors from Har
risburg. To Mr. Evans we are under
especial obligations for a copy of the
message received by first mail after its
delivery.
We are Ready

be very happy to see you.
The regular term of our Court
commenced its session on yesterday to
continue two weeks.
ID- Want of room forbids our reply
ing to the fabrications contained in last
week's Globe, in this paper. We shall
take some notice of them in our next.
County Convention.
The Delegates to the Whig County
Convention will meet in the New Court
House on Wednesday (to-morrow) even
ing, at 7 o'clock.
MEXICAN News.--The latest dates
from Mexico are unimportant, in any
other point of view than as they confirm
the impressions of previous dates, as to
the remoteness of peace. There is said
to be a disposition on the part of the
Mexioan authorities tetreat for peace,
but we have no confidence in their dis
positions. Mr. Trist having been re
called, has no power to enter upon any
negotiations, and we see no possible
method of coming to terms with the
greasers.
We hope Mr. Polk may yet conclude
to invest Gen. Scott with free powers to
treat, &c. We have sufficient confidence
in the old General to think such an ap•
pointment would hasten peace, more
than any other thing Mr. Polk could do.
Snow to the depth of two or three
inches, fell on Saturday night last, since
which time we have winter in all its
force.
A Rumor.
The Washington correspondent of the
Baltimore Sun, under date of Jan. 7,
says : Rumor has it that-Gen. Taylor
is to be sent to Mexico to take the com
mand in chief; and Generals Scott,
Worth and Pillow, an Col. Duncan, are
all to be recalled.
Dare the Administration recall Gen
Scott 1 e sh a ll see.
The afrOSCiagek
The annual message of Governor
Spunk, to the exclusion of almost every
thing else, is given at length in the
Journal of this week. We have no room
for comments upon the various subjects
discussed by the Governor, even if it
was necessary to offer them, and shall
therefore hand the document over to our
readers after briefly alluding to one or
two portions of it.
In glorifying the Polk Tariff of 1846,
the Governor takes occasion to Congrat
ulate the Farmers oh the repeal of the
high duties. on grain by the British gov
ernment. But unfortunately for the in
tended effect of his Excelleney's con ,
gratulations, the late foreign news, pub
lished in Philadelphia simultaneously
with the message, informs us that the
English have abandoned free trade on
their side and restored the high duties on
our grain, by adopting the SLIDING SCALE,
the effect of which will be seen by re
ference to our abstract of the foreign
news. In regard to the re-charter of
banks, the suggestions of the Governor
are eminently just and proper, and we
hope to see them carried out by the Leg
islature. The Governor's argument
against the alarming increase of local
legislation—the passage of special acts,
having no general interest, is also, in
the main, sound and worthy of attention;
but he carries his opposition to acts of
incorporation to too great a length.
There are enterprizes of vast impor
tance loth to the people and the State,
lby which all classes would be benefited,
entirely beyond individual means, for
which liberal charters should be granted
to companies. Among this. class, the
project, vetoed by Mr. Shank, to con
' struct a railroad from Huntingdon to
Stonerstown, with the privilege of mi
ning coal on Broap Top mountain and
carrying it to market, stands prominent.
W.e would fain hope that Mr. Skunk
would withdraw his weak and silly ob
jections to this project and allow it to
go into operation. The Governor pre
sents an encouraging statement of the
finances of the Commonwealth, which
I will be gratifying to all her citizens.
MOPS WASHINGTON.
A Washington correspondent of the
Pa. Intelligencer, under date of Jan. 4,
says : We have had a protracted session
to-day; in the House, in order to pass a
resolution calling for the instructions by
which Santa Anna was PASSED into Mex
ico ; and after every resistance which
the ingenuity of our opponents could de
vise, overcome, they abandoned the con
test, and the resolution was adopted.—
It now "remains to be seen" what course
Mr. Polk will pursue, and whether we
shall have a development of the facts
connected with that disgraceful and
treasonable intrigue.
Thus far the Whigs have worked to
gether admirably and if the same harmo
ny and concert continues to prevail some
thing may be accomplished for the bene
fit of the country before the adjournment
of Congress.
Great Speech of Mr. Calhoun.
Mr. CALHOUN'S great speech was de , -
livered in the Senate on Tuesday, and
the Hall was thronged with eager listen
ers. The eagle-eyed Statesman was
never more inspiriting. He urged anew
his propostion for placing our troops
upon the line we designed to occupy,
and insisted that, however the contest
might be prolonged, this would be the ul
timate disposition of things, as there was
no stable government in Mexico with
which to treat, nor could there be ono
unless supported by our army.
We shall try and publish this speech
in our next.
Mr. Polk Rebuked
The President was most signally rebu
ked by Congress on Monday, and the
truth vindicated. The National Intelli
gences says that Mr. HOUSTON, the IVhig
member from Delaware, introduced a
resolution of thanks to Gen. Taylor, and
the Army under his command, for the
brilliant triumph at the battle of Buena
Vistn. Mr. Henley, a Locofoco member
from Indiana, moved to amend the reso
lution by adding these words : 6 , engag
ed, as the army was, in the defence of
the rights and honor of the Nation."
This amendment, Mr. Ashman, a Whig
member, moved further to amend, by ad
ding these words: "in a war unnecessa
rily and unconstitutionally began by the
President of the United States." On
agreeing to this last amendment, the
yeas and nays were ordered ; and the
vote being taken, it stood yeas 85 nays
81. So that the House of Represnta
tives has decided that the War with. Me
xico was unneessarily and unconstitution
ally began by the President of the United
States ! A pretty fair beginning for the
Whigs of Congres. We breath freer
and deeper.
WITHDRAWAL OF OUR TROOPS.—In the
House, on the 3d inbtnnt, Mr. Hudson of
Massachusetts submitted a resolution
instructing the committee on 'unitary af.,
(airs, tb enquire into the expeciency of
requesting the President to withdraw
the American troops to the East side
of the Rio Grande, and to offer to the
Mexicans terms of peace, without expec
ting any Indemnity for the expenses of
the War. The resolution was rejected
by a vote of 137 Nays to 41 Yeas
, The Whigs of Congress.
The Whigs of Congress are united
and harmonious, and will discharge their
duty with a view to the best interests of
the entire Nation. A corresponcent of
the Pa. Inquirer says the Whigs held a
ineeting on Monday night, "and although
nb precise policy was agreed upon, it is
gratifying for me to state that entire
harmony prevailed, and the most ultra
evinced etery desire to sacrifice their
extreme opinions, and meet upon some
cotnnion ground, ivhich all could assume
Without doing violence to their private
feelings, Another meeting will deter
mine what this ground shall be; mean
while, I will ahly.add i that supplies will
not be withheld, but the Vast patronage
which the war has thrown into the lap
of the Administration, will hereafter be
diverted from the Executive."

On Thursday last a number of toes
sages from the Governor were read„ye-1
toing among others, the following bills,
passed at the hist session :
A bill for the election of Prosecuting
Attorneys by the people,
• A bill to abolish the Mayor's Court of
the city of Lancaster.
A supplement to the Act incorpora•
I ting the Hazelton Coal Company,
A supplement to the act ihcorpora ,

Mr. ESHLEMAN submitted a joint reso
lution, approbatory of the efforts of
Pope Pius in behalf of universal liberty.
The resolution is ably and elogitently
written.
A message was received from the
Governor, stating that the late injuries
to the Public Improvements had requi
red a loun of 50,000, which was advan
ced by several Banks; and recommen
ding the passage of a law authorizing
the payment of this loan.
A bill supplementary to the Act reg
ulating lateral Railroads, passed last
session, was returned by the Governor
with his approval.
Mr. Sanderson, from Lebanon, has
introduced a joint Resolution of thanks
to Major General Scorr, and his gallant
army, for their brilliant achievements in
Mexico.
The Standing Committees have been
announced in both Houses. In the
House, we observe that our Representa
tive has been appointed to the honora
ble post of Chairman of the Committee
on Estates and Escheats. This is truly
quite a marked compliment to our mem
ber, coming as it does, from a democratic
Speaker.
On Saturday morning last the House
passed unanimously a Preamble and
Resolutions introduced by Mr. BLAIR,
in honor of the memory of the late Capt.
Jas. Caldwell, and condoling with his
family and friends in the severe loss
which they have sustained by his fall.
Hox. JAMES COOPER.—The Gettysburg
Star states that letters from Mr. Cooper,
dated Liverpool and London, in the bc
gining of December, announce his arrival
in England, after a passage of 20 days.
At the time of writing Isis last letter he
was in good health, and designed start
ing for Italy in a few days.
The imports of Foreign Coal into the
United States from the Ist of July, 1845,
to the 30th June, were 148,021 tons.
Another Steamboat Ihmlosion,
CINCINNATI, Jan. 7.
The steamer Sea Bird, from New Or
leans, bound to St. Louis, and loaded
with one thousand kegs of powder, took
fire on Wednesday, while near Cape Gi
rardeau. The firo soon communicated
to the powder, and caused a tremendous
explosion, which was heard a distance
of forty miles. The boat was blown to
atoms, but fortunately the passengers
escaped before the explosion took place.
NEWs.
The Caledonia arrived at Bdsion on
Wednesday last. The intelligence is
somewhat encouraging. A betterfeel-
Mg was, apparent in regfird to bread
stuff's—the money market was some
what easier--no very important failures
are announced—and the prospect was
certainly more favorable.
The ebrn Market particularly for the
better descriptions of wheat and flour
has firmly maintained our last quota
tions, with a slight upward tendency and
a general improvement of tone. No ma
terial change can be observed in the
price of Indian can ttleal, and although
the demand for Ireland has for sonic
days been more than ordinarily inactive,
an improved inquiry was met in our
market yesterday at an advance of Is.
per quarter.
Flour was somewhat slow of sale,
without a depression, but some qualities
were rather brisker than usual. The
character and prospects of the GraM
market, will doubtless be materially
affected' by the resumption of the sli
ding scale of duty on the first of March,
of which notice has.been given by the
gevernmeta. The duty will oscillate
upon Wheat from 4 to rOs. per quarter ;
and upon Flour from 2s. to 6. per bbl,
adjusting itself to the rise and fall of
the market. Indian Corn, now free,
wi!l be subject to a duty of Is. per guar=
ter, mid Meal to 6d. per bbl.

The condition of Ireland is somewhat

that Capt. TAvLos, of the Bedford com
pany, died in Mexico on the Sth of De
cember, after an illness of but two days.

of the pressure of his private afi►irs

A Shocking Murdef.
The Louisville Journal says that "a
few days since, nt Mr. Matthew Fergu
son's mill, on Bear-grass, at the edge of
the city, Mr. Ferguson's second son,
David, a youth about twenty years old,
directed the sawyer, a negro man, nam
