The following Precis/nation was sent by the Governor to the Legislature on Thursday evening, tha loth Inst. a few hours before its adjournment. PROCLAMATION. To the Senate and How of Representa tives, and to the members thereof: WilEftlitAti, the constitution of this com monwealth, confers upon the Governor the power of convening the General Assembly on extraordinary occasions; and whereas no provision has been made for the payment of tho interest now due and falling duo on the state debt, between the present time and the meeting of the next legislature, and fur the repair and current expenses of theca nals and rail roads of the commonwealth, nor for the prosecution of the public works now under contract, and in a state of ap proaching completion; and whereas, if these several objects be loft in their present con dition in.provided for, the faith and honor of the commonwealth of Pennsylvania must be deeply tarnished, and the canals and rail roads tow in a state of completion, and in the construction of which our enormous state debt was mainly contracted—must, in a great measure, if not altogether, cease le bo fit for use; whereby, not only will the public suffer great loss and inconvenience, but the character of our improvements itself for stability and usefulness, will receive a heavy blow, from which it will not soon re cover,and the revenue oldie commonwealth already so lamentably inadequate to meet the demands upon it, will be reduced little. short of TIIREE r warns of a million of dol-• lars, within the ensuing year; and the pulp.' lie works now in a state of approaching com pletion in the undertaking of which, the commonwealth has a very large sum of mo ney already invested, must remain idle and useless, to thn serious dimunition of the pub lic revenue, and to the detriment of those sections of the commonwealth especially through which they pass. And, whereas, by an act passed the third' day of A pril, 1840, entitled a 4, resolution for the resumption of specie payments by the banks and for other purposes," the sum of three millions of dollars is provided for the purpose herein mentioned, in •case the legis lature enacts the appropriate laws applying it to the same; and, whereas, one of the principal reasons for giving to the banks f 0 great an extension of their present suspen sion of specie pay meats vs uutil 'the 15th •January, 1841, •was to obtain this fund of three millions of dollars for the relief of tho commonwealth, from .thepfinancial embar rassments by which-sh hi at this time beset. And, whereas, a failure - to provide for ap plying the same to the purposes for which it was designated, is an ENTIRE SUB, RENDER of this important advantage EC ,cured to the public by that law,and is a total release of the banks from an essential part , of the consideration on which the indulgence they are"enjoying, was granted, which ap pears to me to be a course of policy neither wise nor just. Andovhereas, the common wealth of Pennsylvania, with her vast re tomes, and her magnificent systerwof pub; lie improvements, owes it to her own char: actor for STEADFASTNESS, STRICT OBSERVANCE -of engagements, and n high sense of STATE PRIDE, and PUB LIC FAITH, to pay with punctuality the interest becoming due on the public debt, the respective debts due to those who have labored to construct and to keep her public improvements in repair, andto exert ALL HER ENERGIEOI to continuethose im provementb in a fit condition to transporti upon them whatever products her own .citi zens, and those of neighboring states may have created or purchased on thefaith, and with the expectation and assurance, that these improvements were to be and remain their highway to and from market. And whereas, should there be no remedial legis lation in the present emergency, the CON FIDENCE OF THE WORLD in the ENGAGEMENTS and LEGISLATIVE CONSTANCY of this great commonwealth must be deeply SHAKEN, if not ultimate ly LOST. Therefore I have felt it to be my solemn and imperative duty to convene the general assembly again an this extraordinary occa; sion to.hold a session again on the seven teenth day of the present month. I have chosen this early period before the memlAks had dispersed and returned to their , homes, to relieve them from the trouble of returning at a more inconvenient season— to save the commonwealth from the large amount of expenses which she would•pec:.s -&only incur in the recalling of the members from their several remote places of abode, and to secure the most speedy action of the legislature on the subjects above referred to, that is practicable—because they are of a nature too pressing and important to admit of much delay. It is a matter of unfeigned regret to me, to be obliged to arrest the re turn of the members to their families and homes, but the injunctions of duty are too stern and unyielding to be disregarded: I obey them with readiness, and shall trust to the enlightened wisdom of the general as sembly, and of our common constituents— the people—to sanction the act, and to ren der it instrumental iu promoting the public good, and in saving from IMPENDING REPROACH, the faith and honor of Penn sylvania. In the fund fur the payment of interest on the public debt, the deficiency within the next nine months will be not less than' 8500,000 For the repairs made by the pro sent officers on the several lines of canal and rail road, there is yet duo and unpaid, at least, For repairs to be made during the present year, it will require, (exclusive of the Franklin line) at least, e 400,000 There is duo also for ropes, loco motives, &c. 75,000 Also, for lock on Eastern Division, 7,402 Also, (over and above appropria tions) to contractors on Erie Extension, .North Branch, Wiaconisco, Blonentahoning. Gatobarg R. it. Allegheny Feedei. Inclined Plane Columbia, For now work on finished lines, • pay ofengineers,canal commis sioners, dic. 50,000 For damages, 30,000 This largo amount is now due, or will become due before the meeting of the next legislature, or immediately thereafter, and it is manifestly impossible to postpone the providing of funds to meet it, with any PRO PER REGARD to the contracts and faith of the State; and under this viow of the sub ject, it seems to me, there cannot be two opinions upon the course that ought to be adopted among honest men. This whole subject I have taken occasion to bring be• fore you, in my former messages; ample time for reflection and investigation has been given, and under the dictates of a true spirit of conciliation and forbearance, it ap pears to me you cannot consume upon its consideration, much more than a single day of your time. EXECUTIVE CHAMBER, April 16, 1840. It When the Legislature met on the 17th, pursuant to the foregoing proclamation, the loflowing message was received from the governor, and immediately afterwards a re• solution was passed by both houses appro priating 8200,000 to defray the expenses of governrnent,when the legislature adjourn ed until the 12th of May, without doing any further business of moment: GOVERNOR'S MESSAGE. To the Senate and House of Representatives of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania: GENTLEMEN:-I have felt it to be my im• perative duty to convene you, on the extra ordinary occasion referred to in the procla mation under which you assemble. The facts and the reasons on which I have ac ted are sufficiently detailed in that document to render a repetition unnecessary, I beg leave to call your attention to them as there in set forth. In addition to the deficiency in the treasury, exhibited in the proclama tion, I will now add what I did not then advert to, that no provision whatever is made for the current expenses of govern ment. It is left without means to carry on its ordinary operations. I deem it proper to state, that the seve ral reforms and modifications suggested and recommended in my annual message. in our present banking system, have thus far not met with the approbation of the legislature, and I think It my duty again-to inform you, that my views on that subject are not only unchanged, but strengthened by subsequent reflection and experience. believe it has never happened •in the history of thiscommonwealth, that a legis lature had adjourned without making some provision for the ordinary expenses of gov• ernment. I. trust this legislature is not about to set the example. The disastrous consequences that may ensue, it is impossi ble to foretell; and it may require years of legislation and large expenditures of money hereafter, to repair the evils it will produce. In view of these contigencies, I am sure the .members of the legislature can need no admonitions to point out and to enforce the duty they owe to the public and to them selves. With great deference to the legislature, but with sincere earnestness, I must urge on you, the adoption of some legislative ac tion to obviative the difficulties and embar rassments set forth in my proclamation, and should any circumstances occur to pre vent the speedy action of the legislature on this subject, by which the public may suffer loss or inconvenience, I shall feel conscious that no fault can be justly attributed to the Executive. DAVID R. PORTER. EXECUTIVE CHAMBER, April 17, 1840. PENNSYLVANIA WILL GIVE HER VOTE FOR HARRISON AND TYLER. Some weeks since we made an estimate of the electoral votes which might be con sidered as certain for General Harrison. We then did not reckon in the list, our own state; though we took occasion to say that Pennsylvania was at worst among the doubt. ful states as it regards the Presidential vote. We have since that time taken some pains to obtain- aterials for 'terming a judgment as to the probable •disposition of her next electoral vote, and the result is &conviction that Pennsylvania will, in the Electoral College, give thirty votes for WILLIAM HENRY HARRISON and JOHN TYLER. As this is a result to which many have not yet looked, we shall endeavor to assign a rea son for our belief. Mr. Van Buren,we have frequently had occasion to state, has not, and never had, any considerable personal popularity in Pennsylvania. When Gen. Jackson was run a second time, Pennsylva nia refused to give her vote for Van Buren as Vice President, and instructed 4ter elec tors to vote for William Wilkins; which instruction was obeyed, although General Jackson received a majority of upwards of twenty-six thousand. General Jackson's greet popularity in Pennsylvania led his party to believe that the old General's nominee would,of course, receive the vote of the state as his succes sor; but in order to produce this important result, it was found that even something else than General Jackson's popularity must be used. Mr. Van Buren had no hopes for himself, founded on himself, and there fore he determined to create some claim. ft is remarkable that three PENNSYLVANI. Arts should, in rapid succession, be sent on the Russian mission; yet they were sent. The two factions of the Jackson party were likewise conciliated by giving, to the heads of both, offices of profit. Governor Wolf was called to be a controller at Washington, and Mr. Muhlrnburg (who could riot be Governor) was, instead of a seat in the Ca binet, which he sought, presented with a foreign mission that does not call for much expenifiture. • Surely all wilt admit that this was court ing Pennsylvania in earnest--buying her electoral vote at a pretty good price, it it were not that it was bought with the people's money. 300,000 204,000 163,000 2,000 84,124 143,307 1,100 00,000 DA VID R. PORTER. Well, what was the result of all this largese to Pennsylvania, so rich as to alarm the opponents of Mr. Van Buren? What was the result of the inheritance of General Jackson's popularity, three Russian and one Austrian mission, one controllership, and diverse smaller items? What was the ma jority which Mr. Van Buren received out of 225,000 votes of Pennsylvania? Why, four thousand three hundred and eighty four!!! of which Berks county alone gave about three thousand four hundred. Well, the opponents of Mr. Van Buron have, in the coming presidential election, to sur mount the impediment of an old majority of 1,384; and what are their means of doing this, and on what are the hopes of success placed! In the first place, Mr. Van Buron has lost the current of General Jackson's popu larity which he enjoyed in 1830, and has gained none for himself. - Ho has no more Russian missions to be stow,and has already been compelled to dis pose of a rich office in this state,Collector of the port of Philadelphia, to eep peace among his remaining friends, instead of using it to croate new ones. Tho troubles of the times, commenced, in deed, before the last presidential election, have reached such a crisis that thousand of manufacturers, mechanics, and laborers have, for want of other employment,' had leisure to look into the cause of their dis tress, and- have come to the conclusion that a change is necessary. That change dis tinctly includes the non-election of Mr. Van Buren. The fact is, that changes in Al legheny county against Mr. Van Buren are recognised, amounting to more than fifteen hundred already, and constantly increasing, while Erie, Beaver, and Washington will, together, present an equal change. The middle counties are giving assurance of a wonderful falling away from Van Buren; and those who know any thing of Philadel phia county (including the city) need not be told that Mr. Van Buren is losing rapidly among us. We are aware that. the number of voters has increased since 1836; but we believe, and have seen none who doubt, that -there are more anti- Van Buren in the increase than there are supporters of the Adminis• tration. We mako these remake in honest convic tion that they are well sustained. The de ductions appear to us correct, and the data are, without doubt true. We know how prone Pennsylvania has been to deceive the hopes of her true friends, but we know also that the political bias of the state of the present time is in accordance with individual arid public interests, and there is no overpowering personal influence .(as in the case of General Jackson's elec tion) to counteract that tendency. We therefore think that we are sustained in closing our remarks de cape: Pennsylvania will give her vote for Harrison and Tyler. U. S. Gazette. REDUCTION OF WAG ES. We have before had occasion to refer the "Pennsylvania German," a weekly jmirral devoted to the Democratic cause of Harri son and Tyler, and conducted by F. J. Grund, Esq. a gentleman of extensive liter ary reputation both irkthis country and Eu rope. The following admirable article is taken from the last number of that paper. We•commend it to the attention of our work align:ten. Mr. Buchanan's remarks on the Su6•T4ca ry. "In Germany," su says Mr. Buchanan, "where the currency is purely metallic and the cost of every thing REDUCED to a hard money standard,a piece of broadcloth can be manufactured for fifteen dollars: the manufacture of which, in our country from the expansion of paper currency, would cost one hundred dollars. What is the conse quence? The foreign French and German manufacturer imports this cloth into our country, and sells it for a hundred dollars. Does not every person perceive that the re dundancy of our currency is equal to a pre mium of one hundred per cent. in favor of the foreign manufacturer?" .and again: "The comparative LOW PRICES of, France and Germany have afforded such a , stimulous to their manufacturers, that they are now rapidly extending themselves, and would obtain possession in no small degree, even of the English home market. 111 IT WERE NOT FOR THEIR PROTEC TIVE DUTIES. While British manu facturers are now languishing, those of the Continent are springing into a healthy and vigorous existence." We would request the Hon. Mr. Buchan an to inquire a little more deeply into Ger man history and political economy, before he commits himself, on the floor of Con gress; with such wholesale absurdities as the above. If the Germans manufacture broadcloths and other articles cheaper than the Americans, it is not owing to the ITARD MONEY CURRENCY; but to the excessive competition of labor, which not only 'educes the prices of goods but also that of living below the standard of the United States.— A man may live in some parts of Germany on $5BOO a year and keep a carriage; but does this cheapness enrich the mechanic or the husbandmen? Suppose a German earns 124 cents a day, and is able to live on 10 cents; and an American, owing to the high price of every thing, earns a dollar, but re quires 80 cents to live upon? Will the American, in course of time, not be able to buy out the German? And as for the hard money currency, which the Hon. Senator lays such a stress upon, does he not know that the two largest German States, Prussia and Austria, have a paper currency; the Prussian Treesor Scheine being in circuit'. tion all over Germany, and the Notes of the Austrian National Ban& equivalent to cash from the Rhine to the Danube ! The fact is that the great stimulus given to the industry of the Germims, by the Tariff Union, the wisest and best measure that ever emanated from the Cabinet of Berlin,'has, in every part of Germany, so far increased the deq►a _ ud (or convenient medium of exchange as to still a number of Provincial Banks into existence, which new flourish in the principal towns of Germany. Did not the English, with their flush paper currency, undersell the Germane in their own markets at Leipsic and Francfort on the Maio, in spite of the hard currency of the latter, until the wisdom of the king of Prussia protected the German manufactur er, through the medium of the TARIFF LEAGUE, from the dangerous and fearful competition of Great Britain? And what la the moral Mr. Buchanan and his conk,. reel wish to draw from these facts which ought to speak in a voice of thunder to the American mechanic and laborer? Why, just the reverse of that which every reason able man would draw from it, viz: lot's have an exclusive SPECIE CURRENCY, AND AWAY WITH THE TARIFF I From the Pilot. lIARD MONEY AN THE WORKINGi MAN The argument addressed to the laboring man to reconcile him to the reduction of wages is, that if wages are reduced forty per cent, flour is still more reduced. This is a question that may be disposed of by simply arithmetic, and we would recom mend the honest laborer to sum up the cal culation and see how the account stands. When wages were. high he could receive constant employment. Now wages ore low and he cannot get work. Ile must take into the account, not only the reduction of wa• gee, but the time lost for want of employ ment. The following extract from en address to his constituents by Mr. Atwood, a member of Parliament. from the great manufactu• ring town of Birmingham, exposes the effect of the war upon the currency, on the inter. ests of the laboring classes. Mr. Atwood is well informed, and his remarks now show the war upon banks to enhance the value of money, and thus enrich the large money dealer, are so forcible, that the laboring man cannot shut his eyes to their truth. iVlio are they that have grown rich in these times? Is it not the money dealer and the office holder? Mr. Atwood says: "The democracy in America are at this moment cutting their own throats as madly, and working the very same wild havoc among the industrious classes there, as the Jewish aristocracy are working here. In their wild efforts to convert a fiction of the law into reality, they are abolishing credit, and paper money, which have been to them mom valuable than the land which they oc cupy, and more vital, if passible, than the very air which they breathe. Credit and paper money have been to them the very life and soul of their industry; and yet they 1 1 virtually insist that be man shall in future be permitted to plough the ground, or to cut down the forests, excepting only the few lucky individuals who happen to be born with golden ploughs or golden axes at their command! And this is Democratic Amer ica! She has universal sufiragel She has no national .debts end no taxes; but she has raised her rate of interest to fifty per cent. per annum; and her People, like ours, ex cept the Jews among them, are steeped in poverty, misery and distress. Greediness, malice, pride, envy and hypocrisy appear equally to have animated the councils of both nations; for, strange to say, all this wild havoc is being effected in America, as in England, under the extraordinary pretext of bonefitting the industrious classes! Under the pretence of restoring a "sound and healthy currency," the legislators of both countries have taken away the paper money without taking away the debts and obliga tions contracted in it; leaving just sufficient gold and silver money in circulation to pay their own legal claims upon irdustry, but not sufficient to give more than half em ployment or half food to the People. In both countries the People have been told that the moneyed interest was too powerful under a paper system; and, under the pre tence of reducing this power; the two Le gislatures have strangely contrived to double and to treble it, by doubling and trebling the value of the money which measures it; thus grinding and crushing the industrious classes in both countries, and delivering them up, 'like sheep to the butcher's sham bles,' or, at the best, convening them, as I have - always foretold, into mere 'hewers of wood and drawers of water for the Jews!' What is this madness in the two foremost nations of the earth? Is it the mere effect of human passion blinding the human judg ment? Or, is it the effect of some mysteri ous Providence working its awful dispensa tions amongst us? My mind is in the dark." THE GIANT BOY.—This wonderful boy, who is to be exhibited to the public during the present week in this city, is the gon of Mr. Denslow Barber, of Richmond, Chit tenden co. Vt. He was born in May 1830, and is now about three years • and eleven months old. He is 4 feet in height; weighs about 100 lbs.; and with the exception of a blight curve of the legs below the knee, oc. casioned by walking too early, and the great weight of the body, is in every respect pro. portioned like a man, and has the muscular strength of a boy of sixteen. The mind and general expression of the face exhibit the sprightliness and prying curiosity of the Child of six or eight years, while the hair, whiskers, voice and physical lineaments are those of a man of 25 or 30. We understand that Drs. March, Mc- Naughton, Armsbry, Hun, and several oth er gentlemen have examined the boy, and the testimonials relative to his age and early developement, and are satisfied as to the au thenticity of the accounts which are given of him.--Albany Journal. At the bursting of a steamboat boiler, a stout Yankee plunged into the river and sa ved the lito of the captain. As soon as they reached the shore, the captain was prolific of thanks to the preserver of his life. "Save your thanks my hearty," said the other, "for I only saved you from the water in the hope that I should have the pleasure of seeing you hung for the wilful murder of your paseengere." COCHRAN'S &am CANNON.--A trial of Cochran's patent .bomb cannon took place, on Saturday last, at. the Arsenal, Washing• ton city,in presence of a number of military and scientific persons and members of Con. gress. The experiments were completely successful. The first th;rt,y-two discharges were made within four minutes. In the next experiment, seventeen discharges were made in two minutes and twenty seconds. In the third, there were eight within the minute. In the fourth, there were three in a third of a minute. The correspondent of the Journal of Commerce thus enun.erates the powers which the invention claims:— "It can fire sixteen shot in the time re qui. ed for two of an ordinary cannon; some say more. It can be managed by six men; for the management of en ordinary cannon eleven are required, so that each one saves the rations of five men. It has no recoil, hence does not require to be kept in its place by breeching. It is charged without re quiring the use of either swab or ramrod. I ile rapid firing does not heat it. Ordi nary cannon must be cooled with vinegar and water after thirty discharges; but Cochran's has been found perfectly cool after one hundred shots in rapid succession. It has thrice the durability of ordinary can non. All guns first fail at the breech, where the charge first ignites and the ball starts, but as Cochran's is constructed with a chambered revolving breech, of course, it must be of thrice the durability of those now in use."

We speak candidly, and without a desire to esaggerate, when wo announce to our readers, that the meeting hold on yesterday was the lar gest that has over assembled in the county. And although wo had not prepared our "Cabin" and "hard cider" vessels, with banners and procession, us our neighbors have done, wo aro satisfied that good did result from that convocation of our hardy yeomanry. The crowds that pressed in to get within sight of the speakers were sufficient to convince some of our hitherto political foes, that the leaven of Harrison Reform is leavening the whole mass of the community, and with firmness of purpose, they participated with us. We greet ed them with a hearty welcome; and we can assure our friends that when the verdict of the "Young Guard" shall be announcnd, her condom tion to the dominant party will be as thunder to their minions, and will bo responded to by many, who until now, have been zealous, honest parti. zone with the enemy, but who cannot war against what the support of Mr. Van Buren now is—their own best interests—the interests of the communi ty—of the people--of our republican government. Groat enthusiasm prevails amongst our friends, and while but little apparent warmth has been exhibited thus far, we are persuaded that all will be well. Let our ability be exerted—if slow, we're sure! A largo number of delegates were appointed to the Baltimore Convention; a groat number of whom wo are infnmed are determined and eager to be there. Go, one! Go, all!—Raise high your banner for "Proctor's Conqueror"!-- March under it, to swell the number of tho Hero's friends!—Leave the furrowed field to spend a day in honoring the Farmer of North Bend!—Leave the mechanic's bench to strike against the infringe ment of your rights and the robbery of your dues, which the Van Buren policy is bringing upon you ....leave them to reinstate prosperity and thrifty business once more within your shops—.leavo the Bar, the forum and business life, 'to plead the Country's cause, and secure the country's pros. parity—give honor to whom honor is duo. Thus much we have had Limo to say for the present. rms.—St. John's Female Academy at Mc- Sherrystown, in this county was consumed by fire on Thursday the lfith inst. The fire origi nated in the clothes room, and though the inmates fortunately escaped, they suffer for the want of apparel. Tho following singuiar circumstance connected with this fire, is related by tho Balti more Post:— An instance worthy of remark is connec ted with the event. The gentleman who favoured us with the above information had proceeded to illeSherrystown for the pur pose of bringing his daughter home who was lying dangerously ill at the institution upon the breaking out of the fire, the father rushed to the- spot, and after an anxious search found the poor girl in an outbuilding some 200 yards from the Academy, .to which she had fled in her frig ht, bare-footed and only enveloped in n counterpane, caught up in the hurry of the inom-nt. She was re. Movcci to the comfortable quarters her fath er had ,just left, nod singular to relate she was front that moment well, and is now in Nue city in perfect health. Ilor physician attributes her recovery othirely to the of f -ctv ofa CIVIL Our ir ProspectsrDespair ofthe Loco focus. We extract the following from the Charleston (S. C.) Courier, a print which still continues to '•cling with the fondness of old etTection" to ultra Loco focoism, but, from its tune, undoubtedly ex pects defeat. It plainly shows that the friends of the "Little Magician" elsewhere, ore as much the victims of the dumps as their brethren in this section of the country. Hear what the Courier 1 1 "We deem it right to make our readers aware that. contrary to our original expec• tenons, THE PROSPECTS OF GENE RAL HARRISON FOR THE NEXT Ptt ESIDENCY, ARE IM PROVING AND BRIGHTENING. Divisions and schism no longer distract and paralize the Whigs, but they are united in solid phalanx, from one end of the union to the other,and moving heaven and earth by vigorous, con centrated and enthusiastic efforts, to accom plish the overthrow of the present adminis tration and the triumph of their favorite candidate. The FINANCIAL FOLLIES of the administration, (much to our regret) GIVE GEN. HARRISON AN ADVAN TAGE OF POSITION, which his friends are making the most of, and which calls for the most active counter exertion on the part of the powers that be, to whom, notwith standing their financial sins,"we yet cling with the fondness of old affection and a gratitude founded on their nobleand gallant stand for the rights of the south, the integ rity of the Constitution and peace of the Union." We cut the following from the Philadelphia American Sentinel, one of the oldest Administra tion papers in the State. It will be cbserved, that the Sentinel anticipates the disappointment which will inevitably befall the party, by announcing thus early their inability to succeed in getting up even a nominating convention. Such signs of the times cannot be misunderstood. DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL CONVEN TION. We are strongly inclined to believe,from all the information within our leach, that the Democratic Convention proposed to be held at Baltimore in May, will prove A FAILURE. The following ten States it is understood, have declined and will decline to send delegates to the Convention, viz: Virginia, Massachusetts, South Carolina, Georgia, Kentucky, Tennessee, Louisiana, Illinois, Alabama, Missouri. It is said, that BUT EIGHT States have yet chosen delegates to the Convention, and it not cer. tain, that even they will be fully represen ted. In most of the states just named, the democrats are UNFAVORABLE to the election of Col. JOHNSON as Vice President and in some of thorn he will not he suppor ted, even if nominated by' a National Con vention. If none should be held, HE WILL NOT HAVE THE SLIGHTEST CHANCE OF SUCCESS. There is evi dently a strong disposition to give him the go-by; and hence, in a great measure, pro cede the unwillingness, on the part of the democrats of several of the states to go into a convention. P. S. Since the above was in type, we observe by the Administration papers, that the Van Buren National Convention, intended for the sth of May is given up, and is entirely abandoned! The Baltimore Patriot suggests that Mr. Van Buren may as well take one step further at once—de cline being a candidate for re-election, and thus lot the old Horo walk over the course. Disgracetol—A Fight in the House of Representatives. During the discussion on the Bill making ap propriations for the civil ar,d Diplomatic Expenses of the Government, and while Mr. SALTONSTA LL was commenting upon certain official documents in relation to the conduct and expenditure of the Government, one of the Jnost disgraceful scenes ever enacted in a hall of Legislation took place between Mr. BYNUM of N. C. and Mi. GARLAND of Louisiana. Tho following particulars of the affair, aro given by the correspondent of the Bal timore Patriot:..... WAIWINLroN, Tuesday evening, 11 o'clock, April 21, 1840. 3 The scene of disorder in the House of Representatives to day, occurred while I was listening to an interesting debate in the Senate. I sent you a brief account of the disturbance, as I received it from an eye witness entitled to the fullest credit. From gentlemen who were nearer to the spot, I have derived more minute information of the language used, and of all that took place on the occasion. Mr. Bynum walked across the area and up the passage which rues by Mr. Garland's desk, and as he approached tho latter,whe was in his seat, he said aloud, either to that gentleman directly, or at least with an intention of making him hear the language, "that statement (meaning the paper to which the name of Mr. Garland, besides those of other gentlemen, was at tached) is a tissue of falsehoods from begin ning to end." Mr. Garland instantly replied, "It iv true —every word of it; and nogentleman would say otherwise. Mr. Bynum then exclaimed, "It's a d— d lie!" and bent forward at the same time, and endeavored to snatch Mr. Gar land's stick! intending, no doubt, to follow up his intemperate language with an assault. Mr. Garland prevented this by immediately collaring him, and pushing him with main force up the aisle and against the bar. It was in this struggle that Mr. Garland's cheek was slightly scratched, and that he dealt on the head of Mr. Bynum a blow with his fist. Mr. Triplett, Mr. Banks, and other gen tlemen, separated them; and when they had thus interposed, Mr. Bynum pulled out a knife, and poured forth a volley of those abusive epithets of which he has always plenty at command. The select committee appointed to in quire into the matter consists of Mr. Under wood, (chairman) Mr. Briggs, Mr. Cooper, of Georgia, Mr. Butler, of Kentucky, and Mr. Clifford, of Maine—two Opposition and three friends of the Administration. A number of witnesses have been summoned to attend the committee to-morrow. It is probable that the inquiry will result in— nothing. When I closed my despatch this alter- noon, Mr. Salstonstall was on the floor. His reply to Mr. Parmenter was most able and condemn.. .Mr. Stuart, of Illinois, followed with an exceedingly lucid, animated and effective speech, which did great credit to this high ly esteemed member, and increased the re spect which is entertained for him by the judicious and candid of both parties. Mr. Jamieson, of Missouri, next rose, and indulged himself in a long and elabo rate harangue against General Harrison— the never eliding subject of Loco Foco abuse and misrepresentation. Towardathe close of his speech, he undertook to be "se vere" upon Mr. Ogle, of Pennsylvania; and that gentleman, in a few words, gave him a reply which he will not forget in a hurry. Mr. Ogle took occasion also to add a few more evidences of Mr. Van Buren's pretensions to Democracy. Mr. Davis, of Kentucky, having finally obtained the floor, was proceeding to speak, when, on motion of Mr. Chapman. the committee rose without any action on the bill; and the House adjourned at eleven o'clock. VIRGINIA ELECTION. We copy the following returns of the Virginia election from the Baltimore Patriot, of Saturday last. We have since received further returns, which show a Whig gain of 5 members in the House of Delegates and two Senators. A num ber of counties yet remain to be heard from which renders the issue still somewhat doubtful. Frederick Coun ty.—This county, last year, elected two Loco Focos by an average majority of over ouo hundred. We have received the fol lowing returns: SENATE. Conrad, (W.) Opie, (L. F.) HOUSE Or DELEGATES. Whig. Loco Foco, Cather, 620 Byrd, 678 I Mason, 521 Wood, 568 One district to hoar from, which gave a Loco Foco majority of about 90 last year. No doubt entertained of the election of Cather (W.) and Byrd (L. F.) Jefferson County.—The two Whig delegates are elected in this county by a large majority, and Conrad (W.) has a majority over Opie for Senate of 168, which insures his election. Clark county to hear from, which will probably give Opie 50 majority." This is a Whig gain of a Senator.— Opie was never before beaten, and has represented the district for nearly a quarter of a century. rWe have since heard from Clark. Opie has but 6 majority ! Fairfax County.—Sangston (L. F.) is elected' by 9 majority. Last year 17 Loco Foco majority. The Loco F'ecos were in great glee last evening at a report diet tlioy hatecarried this county by a majority of 60; it has now dwindled down to 9! Hampshire County.—Partial returns from this county show the following result Wit ig. Vance, 2431 Nixon, Odell, 217 I Allen, The probability is that Vance and Nixon are elected; same as last year. A gentleman who left Richmond yesterday evening, and arrived in the cars this morning from Washington, has furnished us with the following returns, obtained by him in Richmond, and in some of the counties through which he passed.— The Globe claims the election of Samuels (L. F.) in Caroline by 5 majority, but the gentleman, from whom we received tho account below, passed through the county, and obtained the returns from the several precincts. Louisa, Whig 31 maj. Loco last year. Hanover, Whig 30 maj. Loco last year. Powhatan, Whig 8 maj. Loco last year. Amelia, Whig Caroline, Whig 1 rani. Dinwiddie, Loco Fauquier, Whig King George, Whig 33 maj. Culpepper, Whig 109 maj. Spottsylvania, Whig 33 maj. Loudon County.—lteturns from 2 districts in Loudon County give 247 fur the Whig ticket; 79 for the Loco Foco ticket. No doubt of the election of the Whig candidates. Richmond County.—Windham Robinson (W.) is elected by 366 majority. Thomas Ritchie got one vote! Henrico County.—Mcßae, (W.) 503; Rives, (L. F.) 329—majority 174—returns from one precinct not complete, but the majority will not be reduced. Last year Mcßae was elected by 28 votes only. Brunswick County.—The Globe says the Loco Focus have succeeded in. this county, and claims it as a Loco Foco gain ! Not so—the Whigs never carried the county, and the majority against them last year was 121. We should suppose that it is less now from the joy of the Globe in having saved the county. Pelersburg.—No opposition to Judge May,(W.) - The following additional returns we find in the Norfolk Herald of Friday last:— Norfolk Borough.--Last year Whig majority 135, Votes polled 728. Robert E. Taylor, (W.) Wm. W. Lamb, (Adm.) Scattering, (W.) Whig majority, Whig gain, Norfolk County.--Last year, Whig majority 36. Votes polled 984. Sends two delegates. Portsmouth. Great Bridge. Jas. IL Langhorne,•(W.) 387 244 Wm. Etheredge, (W) 382 245 Arthur R.

John H. Dey, (W.) 278 99 S. S. Woodhouse, (Adm.) 221 60 Whig majority in the county, 96 Whig gain in do. 64 Nansemond.—Last year, Whig majority 14. Votes polled 574. Suffolk. Rawles'. Joshua M.

Samuel Colton, (W.) 129 10 Howard Poole, (Adm.) 100 2 Carter Crafford, (W.) 19 63 Polls not complete—some ft or 10 votes more expected from Warwick, which would not vary Colton's majority. Great Meeting of the People! The largest and most die meeting ever aisembled is Arlenes county, was held 021 Monday afternoon, the 27th of April hut., at the Conn- Rouse, in Gettysburg. in pureamare of public no• lice, for the purpose of appointing Delegates to the Young Man's Natia" nal Convention, which is to assemble at Bakimore on the 4th of May, and of aspersing their opinions upon the important political subjects which are now agitating the country.

Cooper, Ens. were appended to wait upon the Hon. Jolin Reed, Gen. .dksearder. and T. C. Haraly, Esq. and request them to address the meeting. The request was complied with by the two former gentlemen, and, dmimg the absence of the committee, most able sod 'Tinted addresses were delivered by the Hon. Jo& Reed and Gen. Alexander, which were received with great ap plause. D. M. Sasser, Esq. from the committee ap pointed for the purpose, reported the following Preamble and Resolutions, which were nnani-' measly adopted: WHEREAS it is not only the right but also the duty of freemen Ave to their responsilailities and conscious of the inestinsuMe value of the trust committed to their hands„ at all times to assemble freely and express their opinions without reserve as to the conduct of their ink= and the condition of public Blaine, and whereas, we are solemnly impee..ree with the conviction that the present, time especially calls upon entry citizen of this yet free but much misgoverned country, not only for , the free and fearless expression of Lis opinions, i but also for prompt, and energetic action, if he would perfect the wort which has been so ana. piciously commenced, of ar•-•44 4 ;rig Lis country ' and her liberties from true bands of the ruthless spoilers who have rioted in her agonies and mocked at her calamity. Therefore, 1„ Resolred, That is the apimzschM g struggle, we intend to vindicate oar title to the appellation that has been bestowed lc= ne, of the .IYoung Guard" of Adams Carroty, and to bind around the brows of the brave Harrison the laurels of a victory more glorious and enduring than any that Napoleon ever won--iihe lbfoodless but nnfading honor of rescuing his country from the monarchi cal and malign influences wf ieo . under the ad ministration of Mania Van Boren, has been sapping the very foundation of the republic, and bids fair ere long to leave us the name and forms only without the spirit of liberty. 2. Resolred, That we hail with joy and hope, i the vast accessions th at are dolly being made to the nimbi of Uaniscreismr, as not only affording a certain presage of coining sucems, but as estab lishing beyond controversy, the position which we have always taken, that the pmcsent is not a drug gle only between antagonist political fictions for power and ascendency, bat one for the very exis tence of the republiq and therefore it is that we find the honest men of all parties, forgetting for mer distinction, and dally arraying themselves under the broad flag of Manisa°, the Connatitti tion and the country. 3. Resolreel, That we greet these new allies, who have opened their eyes to the miserable dela ken by which, (ander deceptive pity minamould professions hypocritically assumed and unblush ingly usurped by unprincipled lealera„) they have so keg been misled, as brethren entitled to a double Kneed of praise„ because they have bad the raiz, magnanimity to rise superior to party ties, prejudices and assuckstims, under a sense of the paramount duty they owe to their country, and we pledge to them an entire oblivion of all former differences which may have divided us, anti a cor dial amalgamation of views, policy and action. 4.
