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

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.

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 decline the publication of a communica
tion signed .4P. E. T. E." The author writes on
a subject, in which ho is evidently more immedi
ately interested than the public generally. Put
the plan you propose into operation, friend,—the
public have little to do with it. We would, how
ever, should tho author have any great anxiety
'to benefit the rising generation by his productions,
recommend him to the Editor of the Hanover
Herald--our word for it, ho will attend to them
--t3 please correspondents, ho not unfrequently
makes the Herald a receptacle of nonsense.
SPECIAL ELECTIO . —The Speaker of the
House of Representatives has issued his warrant,
requiring the Sheriff of Bedford county to hold a
special election on the sixth of May next, for a
member of that body in the place of Thomas B.
M'Elweo, expelled.
The Hon. Richard D die has formally announ
ced to his constituents of Allegheny District, his
determination to withdraw from Congress at the
close of his present term.
PRICE, THE I. EAR U at; a; —The Philadel

ten a letter to Messrs. Vanderpool and Curtis,
members of Congress, under date of Paris, March
23d, in which he regrets the appointment of no
committee of investigation by Congress to ex

the proceedings of Swartwout ; avers that the Go

return home in the course of the ensuing month,

OLD ADAMS AT HER POST.
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.

Wm. Etheredge, (W) 382 245
Arthur R. Smith, (Mm.) 367 97

out of the District.) E. City. Warwick.
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.

were delivered by the Hon. Jo& Reed and Gen.

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. Rooked, That a thane in the Administre
tration is called for, because

has violated every pledge under which he Came
into power.
