COMB AT LAST.-WO this morning received the President's Message, and haste to lay it be fore our readers, which we do in an extra sheet accompanying to-day's paper. We have not had time to read a line of it as yet, and therefore must postpone any comments upon it until our next.— The Message was delivered on Tuesday last, hut on account of there having been no mail from Washington since that time until this morning, it did not reach rut. It is, as .such documents usu ally are, very lengthy, 0:14t will be seen that we give two sheets this week. If they are,•separately, smaller than our regular "Star," the two together will make a sheet , somewhat larger. In the one—the extra—is con tained the Message, which, if I.set up" in the typo we commonly use for the Star, would of itself fill up our whole paper, as it is very lengthy. We have, however, been enabled, at some expense, to have extra copies printed, and circulated through town as soon as copies or it were received from Washington city by the units. In the other sheet we give our usual variety of reading matter, throwing out several columns of•etanding advir tisements. ' We hope our readers mill be satisfied. We are—as we will no longer be troubled sitting up night after night, waiting for the arrival of the speech of little Martin. Consattss.—Since our last report of the pro ceedings of Congress, there has nothing of much importance been transacted by either house. On Monday, 4.A. Garland was elected Clerk. The Bergoant-ni-initi , Doorkeeper and other officers of the last House have been re-elected. On Tues day, afterthe reading of the message, both houses adjourned over .uutil yesterday. jr.A letter written by the Hon. DASIEL Wan gran whilst in London, in answer to one from the Messrs.

LET XIX lIESIOX. ANOVIED RAIL ROAD ACCIDEDT.-.-?We learn from the Harrisburg . Keystone of Wednesday lest, Abet as the train of care which left Harrisburg for Philadelphia, on the afternoon of the 19th inst., wore within three quarters of a mile of Elizabeth. town, on the Harrisburg and Lancaster rail road, the locomotive r as it is said, ran off the track,cau sing the axle to break by the concussion, and con siderably damaging the passenger car, .which was foll Owed by a number of heavily laden burthen cans. What is however infinitely worse to relate, the fireman, JACOB SPANGLED, a young man whose parents reside near Elizabethtown, had his leg, caught in some part of the machinery,, by which he hung without the possibility of extrica tion, and received the contents of the boiler upon his head and breast,—scalding him instantaneous ly to death. The engineer Haan: Hovr, living in Dillerville, Lancaster county, was buried be. neath the ruins of the broken locomotive, from which perilous situation the passengers ware only able to extricate him, at the expense of half an hours labor. As if by miracle, his life was spared, although he also was-considerably bruised and acid dad. The latest account leaves him in a fair way of recovery. Pions of the passengers were seriously hurt. A Wow - Vscrronc.— A special election fur a lamb& oldie &nate of Illinois, was held a short time since, in the counties of Morgan, Cass, and Septie Ind insulted in the choice of Mr. Sargeaizt, the Wltle tontlidase, by a large majority: ' .Igniaatta or Urrrasavaa—Plaeo ashes on tlieluivesouts in hoot of your doors.

WILLIAM HENRY HARRI SON, the Hero who never lost a &We, and who has distinguished himself in a long ,nd eventful life as ono of your purest and most incorruptible citizens. Remember, that, at tho early age of nineteen, ho received a commission from the "Father of his country," the great and good WASHINGTON, and that shortly afterwards he distinguished himself in a battle with the Indians, under ANTHONY WAYNE. who immediately after wards appointed him his Aid de-Camp—thot, in 1797, (at the early ago of 24,) ho was appointed Secretary of the great North W estern Territory, now comprising the States of Ohio; Indiana, Illi nois and Michigan—that he was appointed Gov ernor of Indiana by Tno3ras JarrEnsorr—that ho defeated the combined forces of the British and Indians, under the command of Proctor and Te cumseh—that he conquered at Tippecanoc—that he was appointed Major General of the North Western Army by President MADISON—that ho won the battle at Fort Moigs—that ho invaded Canada, captured Malden, overtook the British in their flight, end won the victory at the battle of, the Thames. Remember, further, that after having hundreds of opportunities to enrich himself with the funds of the Government, ho retired from the service of his country poor, and is now, Cincinnatus like, working on a farm, to support his family. He is an honest man—a pure patriot—an ex vorienced ,statesman—a bravo soldier, and will make an excellent President. A VO/OE PROM THE WEST.—On the , recep tion at Cincinnati, of the nominations made by the Harrisburg Convention, n meeting of the iiTippecanoe Club," of that city, was called to make arrangements for the holding of a general County meeting, to respond to the nominations. So rejoiced were the people on hearing of the no mination of their favorite "Old Tip," that long be fore the hour of meeting, they flocked in thousands to the Head Quarters of the Club, and instead of there being merely a business meeting of the So ciety, their room was so crowded, that they were compelled to adjourn to the large Engine House, near Broadway, and hold n general meeting of the people. Hero, too, as we learn from the Re publican, there was not room for half of the as sembled multitude ; the large room up stairs—the stairways—the room below, and, finally, the side walks and streets, became a crowded mass of people! The meeting was addressed by Mr. Joseph Graham, followed by W. F. Thomas, Esq. The Republican remarks, that "whilst the latter was speaking, a general call came from without, for the speaker to stand at the window, or come with. out the building, as those in the street could not 'hear. TLo windows and doors, both up stairs and down, were then thrown open, ono of the en gines drawn to the sidewalk, and from its top the multitude, then extending across the street, was addyessed 'by the Hon. W. W. Southgate, of Ken tucky, and by the Hon. B. Storer. The Speakers, as they became warmed with the subject, sketching the life and spotless charac ter of the war-worn veteran of Tippecanoe, were most eloquent. They were cheered, and cheered again, by the assembly. A settled detormination to conquer In this poli tical contest, fighting under the banner of nix who never lost a battle—could bo seen depicted on the countenances of all present. It was truly a harbinger of success—and we can assure our friends throughout the State, that "old Hamilton" will do her duty when the day comes—there will bo no flinching here.

EXECUTION OF Konran.—We learn from the Lancaster Union, that the above named individu al, who at the August Court for Lancaster Coun ty, was convicted of the murder of Lizenus ZELLEUNACEI, was executed in the jail yard of Lancaster city, .ctri p riday the 20th inst. About 20 minutes past '2, the prisoner accom panied by the Sheriff end his principle deputy, came into the yard. He walked to the scaffold with a firm rapid pace, and having partly ascend ed the steps, ho paused, and in a loud voice cried out three times in German: Lord Jesus receive my spirit; after which he took his stand upon the platform. He then sung a German hymn compo sed by himself, and when be concluded said: I call God , to witness that h am entirely innocent of this murder. He said he was under many obli gations to the late Sheriff and family for their hu mane attention to his wants; that he had no spite against any .one, and that he was now ready to die. The Sheriff then adjusted the rope and put the cap upon his head. For a minute,. Kobler re peated with great earnestness the words: Lord Jesus receive my spirit—the drop fell and the wretched man was launched into eternity. He died almost without a struggle. After the body had been suspended about half an hour, it was taken down and submitted to the action of a powerful galvanic battery: A number of experiments, nighty interesting to the medical faculty were performed, of which we suppose a correct account will be given by some of the pro fessional gentlemen who were present. Profes sors Mitchell and Johnson of Philadelphia, we understand were the principal Operators. The experiments were made in the presence of the At-. torney General of Pennsylvania, with the full consent of Kobler, who was anxious they should be performed. TOILIONSI =Meg From the Baltimore Patriot. Late from England. The packet chip South America, arrived nt New-York on Friday, bringing Liverpool dates to the 22d,and London to the 21st No vember, being six days later than our pre vious advices by the Liverpool steamship. The Eastern mail, due yesterday with the Now-York papers of Saturday, had not ar rived this morning ; but, baring received, by the Saturday evening train of cars from Philadelphia, the New-York papers of that morning, we are enabled to give the follow ingltems of intelligence, which we copy from the Courier and Enquirer : The Queen of England, it would appear certain, is to be married to her cousin, the second son of the reigning prince of Saxo Coburg, in May next. In the political situ. atiop of England no change is perceptible. The leaders in the late Chartist insurrec tion are prosecuted with unrelenting rigor. Much alarm had been excited in all classes by the temporary indisposition of the Duke of Wellington—an alarm commensurate with the eminent services he has rendered his country. There are some indizations that, although theG'overnment has refused to indemnify the owners of the op urn destroyed by the Chi nese Government, they intend to adopt hos tile measures towards the country. These, however, are not of a character so decided as to justify any positive conclusions. The British army having completely triumphed in Cahoot, is returning to its former quar ters, leaving, however a sufficient force in the conquered country to support the policy of the Government. From France there is nothing important The derangement in our banking has, how ever, as might be supposed, not been with out its effect an our interests in that coun try. The situation of Spain seems little im proved, notwithstanding Don Carlos has left the scene of the conflict. Madrid was menaced with an insurrection, and troops had been summoned to the capital by the Government to overawe the population.— Espartero has, for the present, given up his pursuit of Cabrera ; and the Count d'Es. pagne, a celebrated leader of the Carlists, had been murdered. Between the Porte and Mehemet Ali, Matters remain in their former position. Judging from the papers before us, we do not think that any material change has occurred in the state of affairs eihce our last advices. We •should say the London mo sey market bas assumed a more healthy ap pearance, and that the Cotton market at Li verpool maintained itself for better than. was anticipated by the most sanguine. The inferiority in the quality of the wheat crop is a prominent remark in every statement which we read, coming from the different markets in the United Kingdom. American State securities are sadly de pressed. An interesting letter from the Hon. Daniel Webster, in reference to them, will be found below. LONDDN, Nov. '2O. American State Stocks. The interest excited by American af fairs continues unabated, and the most con tradictory opinions are entertained es to the result .or their present embarrassments, some parties maintaining that the great mass of those American securities which were sold in the English market are noth ing but mere rubbish, whilst others,with 0-. quad 'pertinacity, contend that the foreign creditors are perfectly safe. Upon the whole, opinions.uniavoreble to A mortca, are most prevalent. - %%ball nol enter upon any detail of the reasons which influence the one party or the other, because they have been totally ex• hausted in the public prints. The follow. ing opinion was comrnurricated by the cele brated DANIEL WEBSTER, on The 16th Oc tober last, to Messrs. Baring, Brothers & Co. in answer to inquiries from that firm as to the constitutional legality of the Amer ican State loans, and the power and liability of the various States to redeem them. We subjOin the correspondence : LozcnoN, Oct. 12,1839. SIR : Some public prints in this country having questioned the constitutional right of the urdividual States of which the North American Union is composed, to contract loans, we are happy to be able to avail .our selves of your visit to this country to refer the point (on which we never entertained a doubt) to you, and to ask your legal opinion on the subject—an opinion which, we need hardly add, will be conclusive with our selves and most important for all who are interested in state secutities. We beg, therefore, that you will favor us with your written answer, at your earliest convenience, to tho following inquiry : "Has the Legislature of one of the Amer icon States legal and constitutional power to contract loans at home and abroad 1" We have the honor to be, with great respect, Sir, your obedient servants, BARING, BROTHERS & CO. The Hon. DANIEL WEBSTER ) &C. LONDON, Oct. 16. Messrs. Baring Brother's 4 Co. GENTLEMEN :—I have received your latter, and lose oo time in giving you my o. pinion on the question which you have sub. mitted for my consideration. The asser tions and suggestions to which you refer, as having' appeared in some of the public prints, had not escaped my notice. Your first enquiry is, "whether the Le gislature of one of the States has legal and constitutional power to contract loans at home and abroad 1" To this I answer, that the Legislature of a Slate has such a power, and how any doubt could have arisen on this point it is difficult for me to conceive. Every State is an independent, sovereign, political coin. munity, except in so far as certain powers, ,Which it might otherwise have,exerciscd, have been conferred on a general govern. ment, established under a written constitu-, lion, and exerting its authority over the pen. pie of all the States. This general govern. ment i 9 a limiied gnvernment. Its powers are specific and enumerated. Altpikrers not conferred upon it still remain with 46,,. States and with the people. The State t gislatures, on the other hand, possess all sual and ordinary powers of government,' subject to any limitetions which may be imposed by their own constitutions, and, with the exception, as f have said, of the o; peration, on those powers of the constitu tion of the United States. The powers conferred on the general government can not, of course, be exercised by any individu al State ; nor can any State pass any law which is prohibited by the Constitution of the U. States. Thus no State can by itself make war, or conclude peace, nor enter into alliances of treaties with foreign nations. In these, and in other important particulars, the powers which would have otherwise belonged to the State can now be exercised only by the General Government, or Government of the U. States. Nor can a State pass a law which is prohibited by its awn Constitution. But there is no provision in the Constitu tion of the (T. States, nor, so far as I know or have understood, in any State Constitu. trot,, prohibiting tho Legislature of a State from contracting debts, or making loans, either at home or abroad. Every State has the power of levying and collecting tax es, direct and indirect, of all kinds, except that no State can impose duties on geode and merchandizo imported, that power. be longing exclusively to Congress by the Con. situation. That power of taxation is exer cised by every State, habitually and con stantly, according to its own discretion, and the exigencies of the Government. This' is the general theory of that mix ed system of government which prevails in America. And as the constitution of the United States contains no prohibition or re straint on State Legislatures in regard to making loans, and as no state constitution,so far as known to me, contains any such pro hibition, it as clear that in this respect,those Legislatures are left in the full possession of this power, as an ordinary and usual power of Government. I have seen a suggostion,that State loans must be regarded us unconstitutional and il legal, inasmuch as the constitution of the United States has declared that no State shall emit bills of credit. It is certain that the constitution of the United States does contain this salutary prohibition, but what is a bill of credit? It has no resemblance whatever to a bond, or other Security given for the payment of money borrowed. The term 'Bill of Credit' is familiar in our polit ical history, and its meaning well ascertain ed and settled, not only by that history, but by judicial interpretations and decisions from the highestsources. For the purpose of this opinion, it may be sufficient to say, that bills of credit, the subject of the prohibition in the constitution dike United States, were essentially paper money. They were paper is , ues, intended fur circulation,and for receipt into the Tree story as cash, and were sometimas made a tender in payment for debts. To put an end at once, and for ever,to evils of this sort, and to dangers from this source, the consti tution of the Umted States has declared,that 'no state shall emit billsof credit, nor make any thing but gold and silver a tender in payment of debts, nor pass any law which shall impair the obligation of contracts."— A this, however, proves, not that states cannot contract debts, but that, when con tracted, they must pay them in coin, accor ding to their stipulations. The several states possess the power of betrOviing money for their.mr, internal occasions of expends ture,as fully as Congress possesses the pow-. er to borrow in behalf of the United States, for the purpose of raising armies, equipping navies, or performing any other of its con stitutional duties. It may be added, That Congress itself fully recognizes this power in the states,as it has authorized the invest ment of large funds which it held in trust for very important purposes in certificates of state stocks. The security for state loans is the plight ed faith of the state, as a political communi ty. It rests on the same basis as other con tracts with established governments—the same basis for example, as loans made in the United States ' under the authority of Congress; that is to say, the good faith of the Government making the loan, and its ability to fulfil its engagements. The state loans,it is known,have been contracted prin cipally for the purpose of making rail roads and canals: and in some cases, although I know not how generally, the income or rev. enue expected to be derived from these works is directly and specifically pledged for the payment of the interest and the re demption of the debt, an addition to the obli gation of public faith. In several states other branches of revenue have been specifi cally pledged, and in others very valuable tracts of land. It cannot be doubted that the general result of these works of interna tional improvement has been, and will be, to enhance the wealth and ability of the states. It has been stud that the States , cannot be sued on there bonds. But neither could the United States be sued, nor, as I suppose, the Crown of England, in a like case. Nor would the power ofsuing, probably, give the creditor any substantial additional security. The solemn obligation of a government, ari sing on its own acknowledged bond, would not be enhanced by a judgment rendered on such bond. If it either could not, or would not, make provision for paying the bond, it is not probable that it could or would make provision for satisfying the judgment. The States cannot rid themselves of their obligations otherwise'than by the hon est payment of the debt. They can pass no law impairing the obligation of their own contracts—they can make nothing a tender in discharge of such contracts but gold and slitter- They possess all adequate power of providing for the case,by taxes and internal means of revenue. They cannot get round their duty nor evade its force. Any failure to fulfil its undertakings would be en open violation of public faith, to be followed by the penalty of dishonor and disgrace—a pen alty, it may be presumed, which, no State of the American Union would bo likely, to incur. I hope i may hi. justified by existing cir- cumstances to close this letter with the ex , ,pression of an opinion Ole more general na lure. It is, That I believe the citizens of fie United States, like all honest men, re• `rd debts, whether public or private, and whether existing at home or abroad, to be of moral as well as legal obligation; and I trust I may appeal to their history, from the moment when those States took their link among the nations of the earth to the present time, for proof that this belief is well founded. and if it were possible that any of the States should at any time so en tirely lose her self respect and forget her duty as to violate the faith solemnly pledged for her engagements, 1 believe there is no country upon barth—not even that of the injured croditots—in which such a proceeding would meet with less counte• nonce or indulgence than it would receive from the great mass of the American peo. ple. 1 have the honor to be, gentlemen, your obedient servant, DANIEL WEBSTER.

The disease t(Ovarium Drop sy) which was the cause of her death, commenced as early as the year 1890, and on the 15th July, 1834, 28 pounds of water were drawn from the abdomen by tapping. Since that time 70 opera tions have been done,and more than 3115 pounds (nearly 12i barrels) of water hove been drawn.— During the greater part of this long period, Mrs. Stiles' general health did not appear to suffer ex ceiusiVely, and until the last three or four weeks of her life, she ate and slept well, and attended to the ordinary domestic concerns of her family, and except from the unwielilness of such a mass of water, (often more than 60 pounds,) she was not subject to any distressing sensations. Her strength, however, gradually declined, and at the time of her death she was very much emaciated. Should any one question the authenticity of this unparal leled case, reference may be made to Dr. Hiram Watson, the attending physician, or to Dr. E. F. Reed, and Dr. James H.
