The gag-law has been re peatedly forced to atop Kr. Adams—and as repeat .adly evaded by that gentleman. During the week alluded to, after having presented a large number of petitions calling for the abolition of Slavery in :the District of Columbia, Mr,' Adams stated that he held in his hand a petition purporting-to be from Slaves, and asked if said petition would come un der the order of the House W ley all petitions on the subject of Slavery upon the table—winch hc, however, retained in his possession.— The hot-heads of the South hero let tly their fury against Mr. Adams! “Expoll him!" 4.Expell him!" was echoed and re-echoed throughout the House! &ter, however, two or three days spent in "sound and fury," the following prethuble and ...resolution were adopted—yeas 160, nays 85—Mr. Ca.tata can voting against their adoption:,— . An inquiry having been made by an honor. .able gentleman from Massachusetts whether; a itaper whiCh he -held to his hand, purport. ,en t o , be a petition from certain slaves, and. ,declaring themselves 'to be slaves, came within the order of the House of Vie IQth efJanuary, and the said paper not having been received by the Speaker, he stated . that, in a case so extraordinary and novel, be would take the advice and counsel of the -House: Resolved, That this House cannot receive *add petition without disregarding its own dignity, the rights of a large .class of ctti. zens of the South and West., and the Con• etitution of the United States. The following resolution time also adopted by a vote of 102 to 18—Mr. Cup inane voting in fir vor of the resolution:— Resolved, That slaves do not possess the right of petition secured to the citizens of the United States by the Constitution. The Right or Petition. 01. We hold, that it is the right—the Constitu tional right of Tux ' , some to petition either Con gress or the State Legislatures upon all subjects. We also hold, that such petitions should be receiv ed and respectfully disposed of,however nexciting" the prayers. of the petitioners may be. No Rep resentative fins a right to refuse the presentation of petitions; neither has he a right to abuse his constituents, nor suffer them to be abused, by those opposed to the sentiments contained in the petitions which he is. called upon to present. En .tertaining such views, we do most heartily adopt and approve of the sentiments breathed through ,eut the subjoined article:— Froni tho NJW York Transcript. alight of petition. it is no excuse in rejecting petitions that are offered to Congress in favor of the aboli tion of slavery,immediate or gradual in the district of Columbia, that the effort will bearindirectly upon the institutions of sla very, as they exist in the southern or slave. balding states. The people have a right unquestionably to petition Congress on this subject, and if the majority do not deem it expedient to grant their prayer, , they can, when the subject comes up for decision, vote it down. But they have no right to refuse to receive the petition, or to treat the petitioners with contempt, and Ouse them because they differ in opinion from themselves. lt is the privi lege of freemen to differ in opinion; but it is not the prerogative army public servant to abuse any fart of the people, the legitimate .sovereignty of the country. Nor have the members from the slave-holding states, a right to fret and foam and threaten to dis. /solve the Union, or resort to hostile arms, , because a part of the sovereign people peti• tion peaceably for the removal of slavery from a part of the public domain, over which Congress exercise exclusive jurisdiction and legislation. They may imagine that a blow is aimed at the entire institution of slavery in the United States, and that once having abolished it in the istrict, the ex ample will become contagious, and infuse itself into the several slave states, and ulti mately compel them to emancipate their slaves. And it may be so. But that is quite another question, over which Con gress cannot exercise any control, and with which they have nothing to do. That is a question purely belonging to the States; one • which they alone can settle—one on which they alone can corstitutionally act. , Con• green cannot disturb the domestic relations of slavery in any. of the states, which is well known to the friends of abolition; and they have never petitioned Congress for any such thing. It is beyond their reach, and 01103 f the pale of their petition, and their power. And whenever appeals are made to Con. pees to intermeddle with the institution of slavery im the states, then the Southern gen tlemen, who are so extremely sensitive, will have tune enough and reason to complain. Then they can safely entrench themselves behind the constitution, arid bid defiance to national legislation, and tell the petitioners you have overstepped your bounds, you are , "asking for an unconstitutional- thing which cannot , be granted to you- Attend to your duty as lawful petitioners, and wo wjll attend to ours, as Constitutionally entitled to dis- Tame of slavery as we deem proper to our two states.," This would be more like rea - 1110aild wore like law, and would go far to rmitihkthejarruktelnterests and hostile feel -NW abet at present exist. But when a set sitsmeo k from any section of thotThion act aritia.as tpucl* adularia, and make them -0001-11,supremely ridiculous by their via , Moo sod threats Oa miry of the members of Congress have done,whenever the subject of slavery is mentioned in either of the houses of Congress; when they draw argu. ments from their passions rather then their prudence, and educe reasons from raving, rather than from cool deliberation, and rant and rage as if they were bereft of their sen -6e9, they expose themselves to the contempt of the calm and dispassionate among the people, and establish conclusively their fit ness for a mad house, rather than for a de. liberative assembly. But in this case, the evil of rejecting petitions for the right to present them, and spurning them and their authors is not confined to the more question of Slavery or Anti• Slavery. It violates a constitutional principle, it assails a solemn and unalienable right; it wars against the liberty and freedom of action of the citizen, and-it lays the foundation broad and deep, for other inroads in constitutional liber ty. For if it can be firmly and unchangeably established, that petitions on one unwelcome quhject can be rejeeed and spurned, and the right to present them denied,it follows neces• sarily, that othcr petitions, on every other unwelcome subject, can also be treated in a similar manner. If abuses exist in the ad. ministration of the government, if rulers should become tyrannical or prodigal, or•if any other.evil should arise calling for re• dress, without which the liberty and rights of the citizens would be sacrificedpind if they were honorably to petition for relief or the removal of the evil complained of, those in the National Legislature interested in the perpetuation of those evils, might also re fuse to receive the petitions—deny the right to present them, and spurn the petitioners with abuse, and the application of odious epithets, from their presence. All reason able men will admit that this would be ty ranny, a gross usurpation of power and pre. rogative, and a flagrant violation of constittt- tional law, and the freedom of the citizen.— And what is there to prevent such a course ofeonduct it the scenes recently acted, if the prejudiced opinions now advanced by nn interested portion of Conffreossional mem bers, and countenanced and connived at by .others—are to be tolerated, and acquire the sanctity at custom and common usage, and the validity of law and constitutional ap. rightness in our halls of legislation? We .answer nothing. It will then be too late to standup for the principles of pure and an adulaterated liberty,for the vital spirit of the goddess will have departed from amongst us. We shall have then nothing left us,lnit the wretched wreck of our rights, and the galling chains of slavery, will be firmly fix ed upon us. Then indeed, we shall be in a worse condition than the slaves of the south., who aro allowed to petition their masters for a day ofliberty and a boon at relief.— Then we will have consummated the des truction of the temple, dedicated to rational liberty, and will ho permitted only to weep and wail over the solitary sepulchre of the constitution. But before closing these remarks, we must be permitted to say, that we cherish the feelings of the most soverign contempt for those eastern and nothern men in Con gress, who servilely truckle to those of the south, and traitorously unite with them in their mad crusade against rho , constitutional right of petition. They certainly have no direct interest in ibis matter; they have no fears that the war against slavery will be carried into their respective states, for they have no slaves, (save white ones,) among them. But like fawning sycophants, they crouch at the feet of southern anger and southern denunciation, and cringe like 'trembling cowards before the moral and po litical tempest that rages round them. And while - they thus debase themselves, and barter off their independence of opimon and their patriotic regard for liberty and the rights of the citizen, to appease the clamo rous appetite of southern vengeance, they purchase by their paltriness of conduct, the ineffable contempt of those chivalric sothern era, whom they degrade themselves to serve, and who consider them desti•utc of independence and spirit; who despise them for their disgraceful timeserving policy,and, who think, and have reason to thank, that they aro traitors to• their fears, cowards at heart, and below the level of the slaves who bend in homage at their feet. But we have done with this subject for the present, and will only add, that unless we send honester, more highininded, and independent men to Congress, than many are from the nothern and middle states, men who have souls of their own, and who dare to act untrammel led by southern control, we may soon bid adieu to one of the most valuable portions of our liberties to one of the most sacred safe guards of freedom, the right of our citizens to petition for what they conceive to be wrongs, and may write expunged on every leaf of the Decoration of Indeperidence,and on every page of our glorious Constitu tion. United States and .111exico. ( - -The following Message from the President oftha United States to Congress, should have been published in our last. To the Senate of the united States. At the beginning of this session, Con gress was informed. that our claims upon :tlexico had not been adjusted, but that, not. withstanding' the irritating effect upon her councils of the movements in Texas, I :hoped', by • great forbearance, to avoid the necessity of again bringing the subject of them' to your notice: .- That hope has been disappointed. Having in vain urged on that Government the justice of those claims and my indispensable obligation to insist that there should bo "no further delay in the ac knowledgment, if not in the redress of the injuries, complained of," my duty requires that the whole subject,shoulii be presented, as it now is,for the action of Cnngress,whose exclusive right it is to decide on the further measures- of redress to be employed. The length of ,time since some of the in juries have been - committed; the repeated and unavailing applications for redress, the wanton character -of some of the outrages upon the property and persons °four citizens, upon the officers and flag of the U. 'States, independent &recent insults to this Govern ment and People by the late Extraordinary Staititait Minister, would justify, in the. yes • , anti nations, immediate war. That remedy f however,. should not be used by just and I generous nations, confiding in their strength for injuries committed,if it can be honorably avoided; and it has occurred to me that, considering the present embarrassed condi tion of that country we should act with both wisdom, and moderation, by giving to Mexi. co one inure opportunity to atone for the past, before we take redress into our own hands. To avoid all misconception on the part of Mexico,as well as to protect our own national character from reproach, these op portunities should be given, with the avow ed design and full preparation to take imme dirge satisfaction if it should not he obtained' on a repetition of the demand for it. To this end I recommend that an act be passed au- thorising reprisals, and the use of the naval force of the United States by the Executive against Mexico,to enforce them,tn the event of a refusal by the Mexican Government to come to an amicable adjustment of the mat ters in controversy between us, upon anoth er demand thereof made from on hoard one of oar vessels of war on the coast of Mexico. The documents herewith transmitted, with those accompanying my message in answer to a call of the House of Represen tatives of the P?th ult. will enable Congress to judge of the propriety of the course here tofore pursued, and to decide upon the ne cessity of that now recommended. If these views should fail to meet the con currence or con, , ses.,and that body be able to find in the condition (tithe affairs between the two countries, as disclosed by the se companyine documents, with those referred to, any well grounded reasons to hope that an adjustment of the controversy between them can be effected without a re,ori t o the measures I have felt it my duty to recom mend, they may be assured of my co-opera tion in any other course that shall be deem ed honorable and proper. ANDREW JACKSON. WASHINGTON, Feb. 6, 1937.

The President and Mr. Calhoun. the United States Senate, on the 9th inst the subjoined extraordinary letter was sent to the Secretary by Mr. CALHOUN, having been received by him from the President of the United States, calling Mr. Calhoun to account for words spoken in debate! The coarseness, vulgarity and impu dence of the proceeding, is without a parallel. Letter to 4,71 r. Calhoun. WASHINGTON, Feb. 7th, 1837. Sir,—ln the Globe of the 6th inst, I find the report of a speech made by you on the 4th upon the land bill, which contains the following passages, viz. "Was it not notorious that the President of the United States himself had been con nected with - the purchase of the public lands? Yes, the "experiment" (Mr. Calhoun de. lighted in the word) was the cause of spec ulation in public lands; and if the bill should not be passed ; speculations could not go on, and the price of the public lands must eon• sequently be reduced. He contended that every man could not but see that it would be utter ruin-to those who had borrowed money to speculate in lands, if the system was not to go on." In a former part of your speech, as reported, you say: "The speculation which a particular state of things had given rise to, had been produced by those in power. They had profited by that state of things; and should,this bill be passed, it would noly consummate their wishes," &c. dtc &c. Knowing the liabilities of reporters to err in taking down and writing out the speech es of members of Congress, I have made enquiry in relation to the accuracy of this report, and have been furnished with certi ficates of - gentlemen who heard you; affirm= ing that it is substantially correct. You cannot but be aware, sir, that the imputations which-your language convey are calculated, if believed, to destroy my character as a man, and that the charge is one which, if true, ought to produce my im peachment as a public officer. If I caused the removal of the deposites for the base purpose of enriching myself or my friends by any of the results which may grow out of that measure, there is no term of reproach which I' do not deserve, and no punishment known to the laws which ought not to be ia; flicted upon me. On the contrary, if the whole imputation, both as to motive and fact, be a fabrication and a calumny, the punishment which belongs to me, if guilty, is too mild for him who wilfully makes it. . 1 am aware, sir, of the constitutional privilege under which this imputation is cast, forth, and the immunity which it se cures. That privilege it if: no degree my purpose to violate, however gross and wick ed may have been the abuse of it. But I exercise only the common right of every citizen, when I inform you, that the impu tations you have cast upon me are filse in every particular, not having for the last ten years purchased any public land, or had any interest in such purchase. The• whole charge, unless explained, must be consider ed the offspring of a morbid imagination or of sleepless malice. 1 ask you, as an act due to justice, honour and truth, to retract this charge on the floor of the Senate, in as public a manner as it has been uttered—it being the most appropriate mode by which you can repair the 'Rimy which might otherwise flow from it. But in the event that you fail to do so, 1 then demand that you place your charge be fore the [louse of Representatives, that they may institute the necessary proceeding to ascertain the truth or falsehood of your im• putation, with a view to such further mea sures as justice may require. If you will neither do justice yourself,nor place the matter in a position where justice may be done me by the representatives of the people, I shall be compelled to resort to the only remedy left me, and, before I leave tha city, give publicity to this letter , by which you will stand stigmatized as one who.pi otocted by his consti tut ional privilege, is ready to stab the reputation of others, without the magnanimity to do them justice, or the honour to place them in a situation to roceive it from others. Yours, &c. ANDREW JACKSON. The Hon. J. C. CALitourr, U. States Senate GENERAL NEWS OF THE WEEK 003131F.RCE OF N.FIW YoaK.—The value of foreign imports into New York in 1836, was 8119,000,000. In 1835, it was only $'38,000,000. The increase, therefore, in a single year, is $:30,000,000. According to the report of the Secretary of State, the number of seamen registered in the United States in 1836 was, natives, 5443; naturalized 93:—total, 5536. A petition signed by more than 1400 hundred citizens of Pittsburgh, Pa. has been presented to the legislature, in favor of ameliorating tire condition of children employed in manufacturing establishments. A Fourth ofJuly orator, wished to speak very figuratively of the Pilgrim Fathers.— lie therefore shouted, "They took their statTh in their hands, and set out on their journey across the boundless ocean." The Cincinunti Post of 27th ult. says, "There are not less than one hundred thou• sand barrels of flour in the towns upon the Oha4 river, from Pittsburgh , to its mouth, watinir a clear river and a good stage of water to be sent to market." A SPUNKY YANKEE Ginr..—A. Mrs. Ma ry Hillman, of Martha's Vineyard, has pe titioned Congress for some gratuity in her old age, for the following service: She states that when about 15 years of age, in 1776, residing at Martha's Vineyard, a British cruiser came in, and Wanting a spar, managed to buy the only one to be had, which was then erected as a Liberty pole; that herself and two other girls, on the night previous to its intended removal, bored holes in the pole, filled them with gunpowder, and applying fire, split the pole to pieces, so that it - was rendered useless to. the enemy. Poor, and now 76, she asks for some small com pensation for an act which she considers equal to taking a stand of colours from an invading enemy. The petition was refer red. A NORLE DONATION.-G. C. Delavan, Esq. of tbany, has made a donation to the Temperance Society of ten thousand dol lars. Deacon John Whitman, of East Bridge. water, is supposed to be the oldest man in Massachusetts. He will be 102 years of age next month. DArrox . ,(Ouro.)—A statement prepared with some care, with a view to its use as a basis for legislative action, setting forth the trade, commerce, manufactories and husi uess facilities of Dayton, is now lying before us. That flourishing town is going ahead, and extending its trade, domestic manufac• tories, and "fair business transactions" in fine style. It appears from this exhibit, that there are now in Dayton 29 mechanics' shops; 9 manufactories; 21 grocery and produce stores; 22 dry goods stores; with various other establishments, to the number of 55—the whole employing a capital of $BBB,OOll. In addition towhich, it may be stated that there is at this time an opening for the investment of capital, in manufacto. ries by water power, now contemplated, to the amount of 81,760',000. An extensive carpet factory was erected in the vicinity during the past year which is now in suc cessful operation, and is likely to furnish a "home market" for upwards of 100,000 pounds of wool per annum. The county of Montgomery, in which Dayton is situated, also abounds in manufactories of various kinds—there being within its limits 52 grist mills;: 72 distilleries; 30 tanneries;. 7 oil mills; 12 fulling mills; and 4 cotton factories. The town of Dayton now numbers upwards of 5000 inhabitants—and there were eighty buildings erected, within its limits, during the past year.—Bali. Pat. NOBLII cluarry.—We published a few days since the case of a lanlord of Bangor, Maine,in which he refused to take any rent, from hts poor tenant, during this inclement season of winter. It appears however, that 'dub elements of humanity, are shll inactive and benevolent exercise in that favored place, as will be seen from the following account which we republish from the Bangor Whig: A gentleman of this city, a few days since, sent a load of wood to a d,btur of his, but who Was sick and destitute. Although the man had relattona around him, who were able, no one offered to help him, or even to saw the wood. The donor was informed of the fact. and immediately wont and sawed, and placed the wood in the house of the poor man. This is highly pratseworthy and proves, that the man, whose name ought to have been published, has a soul above the com• mon herd of hard. hearted creditors,who sel dom care, what amount of distress they create, so that they only get, whist they call their own.—N. Y. T'ranscripl. EDUCATION.—Tho way they do things in Boston. By the reports of public schools in Massachusetts, it appears that ALE. the boys in the city of Boston,' between the age of 4 and 18, are in attendance at public or private schools, excepting 33. The whole number is estimated at 16,880. BOOK COMPAIiir.-It affirds us the sin- cerest gratification to announce to our rea ders that the Legislature of this State has paused an act incorporating the Book Coin. riny. This will occasion feelings of joy in many hearts, and inspire our friends with renewed zeal in this excellent enterprise.— All difficulties in the way of its successful accomplishment are now happily removed, and the Executive Committee are determin ed to prosecute the matter with energy.— We hope that all those brethren who have herd- back in consequence of the want of a charter will now generously come forward and subscribe for stock. They now have a good opportunity of exhibiting the sincerity of their pi ofessed attachment to the under taking. It is .expeczed also, that ill those subscribers who have not yet paid their in stalments from an apprehended failure of our application to the Legislature, will now cheerfully comply with the conditions. The agents also are pa ticularly.request. ed to collect and send to the Treasurer all the instalments due within their several dis. tricts. The charter is us ample as could have been expected and affords us every facility for conducting the business on a scale commensurate with the wants of the church. it is desirable that active opera tions he commenced forthwith and therefore all brethren feeling disposed to purchase stock are requested to announce it irainedi• at ely. —L uthera n Observer TUE EXPUNGED RESOLUTION.

"Expunge," has become the order of the day! "Expunge," is the watchword of the hoary headed veteran and the little playful urchin!

Why is it? Is the mantle of the prophet to fall, and do they wait to be eovered by-itl - We fear their waiting will be profitless. We wish to see the party known by its party name--by the name which has drawn thousands beneath its standard—the name of Anti-Masonry. We have no desire to have that name merged irk Harrisonism, nor in the name of fitly other man. The measures of our excellent governor have rendered his admibistration popular, and our friends in other states. rejoice at our prosperity; and the reason is, that Go, vernor Ritner has firmly adhered to the sentiments of Joseph Ritner. Ilia Anti, Masonry cannot be qneetioned„and eien enemies give him credit for preserving his. own opinions, against every attack made. , upon them. Under these principles- we. have triumphed, and can conquer agaim, but suffer them to be extinguished, and nothing but defeat after defeat avant; the party. We call upon the State Commiltee to take this matter in band before it in too late;,to call a convention imrnediateky„ and before the people are committed for; any one. 11 that convention make a amine.' Lion, it will at least have the name of Anti , . Masonry, and under it we may safely act. But at present, there is too much diversity of opinion in ourranks to permit a thought of success. We would suggest to thriold tried Anti 4' Mosul's, the necetsity- of having an eye to the conduct of n recruits in the party.-- These may mean well,but enthusiasm some. times carries theta beyond discretion. We acknOw:edge the worth, patriotism, and p o p u larity of General. Harrison, but white we do so, we conceive no reason that the Anli•Masons should call themselves Harri son men. If he should be selected as the Anti Masonic candidate, let him he sup. ported as such, but no success can attend a Harrison party, or any other man's par ty.--[Philadelphia Commonwealth. clt would seem from the subjoined paragraph, from,the Lancaster Union, that the most inveterate opponent of the present State Administration is a Defaulter—is now owing the State $2,912 21!

A snow storm of unprecedented violence commenced in England on Christmas night, and continued for some days without inter mission, causing an interruption very unu sual in that country, to the means of com munication between the provinces and the capital. We are sorry to add, that during the same period, a great number of ship wrecks occurred on the coast, and in some instances were attended with a melancholy loss of life. The Legislative Chambers of France have commenced their session. The King had scarce delivered his speech on the oc casion, when his life was again assailed by the hand ofan assassin, which he again es caped! Slight reference is made in the King's speech, to the happy justment of the diffi culties which had arisen between this Union and France. We conclude, from the allu sion, made in it to the stale of Spain, that the French Government in determined not to interfere in the contests between parties in that distracted country. The present French Ministry, from what has already occurred in the Chambers, seem to be seated with some firmness in their places.

Instead of winning honor by their conduct, they have drawn upon them the ridicule and censure of the wise and good dal' parties.. Just Remarks. (10- We cut the following froman excellent ar ticle in the Lancaster.E,xaminer dr. Heratd." The justness of the remarks cannot but strike every reader. Hit was right to permit the Agent of the Colonization Society to occupy the Hall, it certain ly could not have been wrong to have permitted «a use to the Agents of the Anti-Slavery Society. It is known, we presume, to most of our readers that thq friends of abolition assem• bled in Convention at Harrisburgh, for the purpose of forming a State Anti• Slavery Society, on the .31st ultimo. On the Ist inst. a respectful application was made to the House of Representative's for the use of their Hall, on that and the succeeding evening, for the purpose oftecturing on Abolition.— Thw gave rise to a most violent del:mite, and the use of the Hall was dewed them by a vote of 54 to 27. • We are at a toss to account for this sin- iular decision. But a few days' previous, the Hall had been granted to Mr. Elliott Cresson, who occupied it for two successive evenings in lectures on Colonization, and we can see no valid reason why it should be denied to those who were the friends of Abo. lition. It is admitted on all hands that the Abolition Convention contained a number of the most respectable and deserving men of the State; many, ifnot a majority of them being members of the Society of Friends— than whom a more honest and upright set of men exists no where, and their right, as citizens and tax-payers of the Common. wealth, to the use of the Hall of the people, was fully equal to that ofthe ColOnizationists. The conduct of the House of Representa tives in excluding them from the use of the Hall, wns unjust, illiberal and tyrannical in the extreme, and should receive the condem nation of every friend of freedom of thought and speech. It is conduct that cannot be justified under any pretence whatever. We have in fact seen no justifiention attempted, except the miserable apology offered in a paper edited at the seat of government by a son of New England, who hns, we fear, in this instance as in several others sacrificed his own honest convictions of right and wrong, in order to accomplish selfish and unworthy purposes. We rejoice that no son of Pennsylvania has been found to ap prove of this attack upon the dearest and must inestimable right of freemen.—Lan. cuater Examiner.

SPEEDY LEGISLATION.-Mr. English, a member of the committee appointed to com pare hills and present them to the Gover nor, declared on the floor of the House on Saturday, that the Legislature had passed thirteen bills, including resolutions. This would make about one bill a week, not ex ceeding two mes e since they have ben in session. This unprecedented SPEED in Legislation is the most irrefutable evidence of the capacity, talents and business habits of the House. It is an evidence that can not be mistaken by the people abroad any more than it is by those who visit here. PROM EUIRRISBURGE. Adjournmene at the Legislature! Senator McKee:ea Letter: Union of Rail Road Companies! Sc. Sc. Correspondence of the Gettylibtirgh Star. HARRISBURGH, Feb. 16th, 1837. In consequence of the multiplicity of my en gagements during the last week I was prevented from attending the sittings of the House as con stantly as I could have wished, and I shall on that account be compelled to give you but a short and probable at beat but an imperfect sketch of the business transacted in either branch of the Legis lature within that time. To witness the proceed ings of the House of Representatives and after wards to embody them in a letter for publication, is far from being a pleasant task, (ol course you will understand me as refering,only to this particu lar House, the component parts of which you, as well as your readers, are already well acquainted with,) because when men evince so total a destitu tion of independence of mind and action, as that which is exhibited from day to day by the Masonic members and their whippers-in of all the other parties of the day, with the exception of the pure and principled Anti-Masons, there can be no plea sure afforded to the disinterested , observer of their acts, in witnessing such complete degradation of all those ennobling qualities which adorn the in dependent man and the upright legislator, as is presented by the majority of the present House— and afterwards to be compelled to blazon those acts and those deeds to the world at large. There is something so painful to every high minded man in contemplating the majority of the House, in witnessing their servile attachment to the interests of the Lodge, and in the unresisting obedience which each one is ready to yield to any and every order emanating from that sink of infamy and moral corruption, that no one, I am well persuaded, who regards the welfare and prosperity of his native State, can derive any pleasurable feelings in record ing proceedings which must be calculated to lesson her irrthe estimation of all. who take an. interest in her prosperity end independence, from foreign in terference as well'as from secret oath bound associ ations existing within her own limits. Do not let the people be deceived with the assertions which are continually made by the friends of the Lodge, that Anti-Masonry has effected its object. No such thing; we have as yet fallen far short of its attainments, and we can only achieve it by unition of all our strength. Events hive been =dare still tmnspiring,which serve most erlbctually in pointing out to us those pretended friends who came into our ranks only for the purpose of creating dissensions among and dividing the real friends of Democratic Anti-Ma sonry. You may have observed the proceedings of a meeting held at C. Gleim's tavern in this place, a few evenings since--the object of which appears to be to sink the principles of Anti-Masonry in some kind of maniant. Now it is but right and proper that the people of Pennsylvania, at least the Anti- Masonic portion of them, should he madiacquaint ed with the number of gentlemen composing this large and respertabk meeting': You must know then that there was scarcel?'more thati was , suf ficient to officer the same! It .was composed of moire irrinvfnuszs! I will not call them citizens of Pennsylvania, inasmuch as I believe ono of them is a citizen of Massachusetts! These eight gen. tlemen were the worthy H. K. Strong and his brother, who is the gentleman alluded to as not being a citizen of the State; David Krause, Wil liam Kepner,, Daniel Kepner, George P. Heisley, Dr. John Heisley and one other whose name is not recollected. So that you will perceive that oven here, when the proposition is made by a fow trai tors to abandon distinctive Anti-Masonry, it meets with but little success. These men are enemies to our cause, and should be denounced universally. A resolution from the Senate fora final adjourn. ment of the Legislature was taken up and discuss ed in the House on Monday: Greallseffits were made to postpone it, but the radical and popu larity seeking members went for its consideration, and after being amended so as to read the Fourth of April, passed, and upon being sent back to Sen ate waoconeurred in; so that this highly intellectu al and intelligent body of Salon. will leave this place on that day, provided always that the time is not extended, as almost every member you speak to seems inclined to think will be necessary to ena ble them to get through the file of Dills continually accumulating on their desks. Three days have been consumed in debating this resolution; and it may be, that when a proposition shall be made— as it most undoubtedly will be—to eitcnd the time, throe more will be wasted away; but the people will Look to, and remember these things. On the same day Senator McKz.tis's letter in reply to the approbation resolutions on the subject of the expunging process, created quite a conster nation in the House. The Honorable Senator declares himself opposed to the resolutions of Mr. Br.x - roa, and said that if he had been in his seat, as he was not, on account of indisposition, he would have voted against their passage. The reasons which he gives are good, and the paper on the whole is a masterly production, which re flects great credit on the author. When the Clerk had concluded its perusal, Mr. WATTS moved that 3,000 copies in the English and 1500 . in the Ger man language, be printed for distribution. After one or two amendments were offered, Mr. Amu exs, the Masonic tool for Daulphin County, made a motion to postpone the whole subject indefinitely, and that the House refuse to permit the letter of Mr. MCKEAN to appear on the journal. This mo tion was carried eventually, with but ono or two exceptionii, by a party vote—all the sworn men voting in the affirmative! A Bill was taken up and considered in commit tee of the whole in Senate, the object of which is to consolidate the companies to make a Rail-rood from York to Wrightsville on the. Susquehana, and from York to Gettysburgh. On Wednesday, the Harrisburgh and Sunbury Rail-road Bill which had already created great discussito, was again taken up, and was opposed with gtat violence by some of the ultra men, but on the - yeas and nays being called on its final passage, the vote,was,.s . 3 yeas, and 32 nays. In the afternoon., Mi'a.keirn-called for the second reading of his. Teiris resolution's, halt the House refused take them up by a vote of 17 in favor to 52 against=---all the Masonic Van Buren men voting in the negative, as did also the Whigs, with perhaps one or two exceptions. A Bill providing more effectually for the destruction of Wolves and Panthers was also passed this day. To (fay, the committee on Internal improve ments and Inland Navigation reported the fa moils. Improvement Bill, appropriating the whole of tie' Surphat Revenue received by this State, not only to the completion of old works, but to the commencement of now ones! The citizens of the State look for something better than this wastful and unnecessary expenditure of the public money at the hands of their representatives. If I mistake not, they will look for a reduction of the public debt, and other mutters equally important. The rest 011ie day was spent in considering on second reading the Bill incorporating the Pittsburgh and Laughlinstown Rail-road Company, and on which it adjourned at a late hour in the evening. !o: MARRIED.
