be any oeusisio i on the part of the Legisla tune to perform any of the duties which wore required at Its hands. if he had entertain ed a well-grounded apprehension on that sub ject, the appointment of the usual Commit tee, to wait no and advise him that the two Houses were ready to adjourn, furnished, as it was Wended, a proper occasion far re. minding them that n portion et their duties still remained unperformed. That however was not the difficulty. There was no like lihood whatever of au adjournment without the necessity provision for the public wants, unless it should be compelled by the perse. vering efforts of the advocates of further ex penditures and-the friends of the Union Ca. nal. I am persuaded there would have been none without the passage of some bill (litho kind. The members of bath Houses were very well aware of its necessity, and would have declined the responsibility and dopre cited tho inevitable contingency of a recall from their homes and their business at a season which ought be exceedingly incon venient because it would not be selected by themselves. The object of the interference was well understood at Harrisburg, and it was accordingly hailed by those for whose benefit it was intended with a degree of rap ture and exultation which no pains were ken In eneceul. I was myself personally taunted with the successful attempt of the Governor to interrupt our i'eltheratiensand to prevent U 3 from passing the Bill i on which we were engaged. "We will new see" was the remark which was made within my own hearing, "whether Penrose and Stevens, shall dictate a bill of their own contrivance to this Legislature." The interposition of the Governor was treated by themselves as obviously designed to thwart the supposed cunning purposes of the lenders of the opposition, and on that ground was openly defeeded. I venture to affirm, that there was no man present who understood it diffgently. It was so treated, by both Mr. Penrose and myself, in the re marks which we felt, it to be our duty to make on the occasion in the Senate, and though we did not hesitate to call the men sure by its proper name, there was no com plaint of misreureseinatien, and no voice lifted up in defence of the Executive. Its purpose was not even attempted to be denied. Presenting itself under the specious guise of a Proclamation announcing a failure on the part of the Representatives of the people to perform their duty, and resting upon prem• lees which were notorinuely false, its whole aitn was to compel an appropriation uearth) ' the prosecution of the works which the Senate at least had felt itself imperiously called upon by the condition of the public finances to suspend,and perhaps an additional amount of some three or lour hundred thou sand dollars to the very liberal allowance of 8400,000 dollars already agreed upon by both Houses fir the purpose of repairs.-- Every means within the power of the Exec utive and his Subordinates, from the Canal Commissioners, down through every grade bf the public service, had been employed to coerce the Legislature into a further ex penditure on the unfinished lines. The halls of legislation wefreinvaded by the official hive, the insect swarm which.fins been gen. erated and fattened an the tiutrifyine sores of the body politicathe tirti g ivin g and 'ife sustaining rottenness of that monstrous aye- tern of uncontrolled expenditure which has grown up in this State within a few years. Thecterrers of On Executive veto— whether by authority or Otherwise, ie not for me to say—were freely employed, and the threat was as freely used, that in the event of non. compliance nn the part a the Legislature, the Locomotives would be returned to their depositories, and the water drained from our Canals. .The Bill which had passed the Senate though larger in amount than that of the House of Representatives, was indus• measly represented as a device of the op position to prevent the employment of labo• revs on the public works. and as u necess ary consequence to defeat the election a Mr. Van Buren. The same argument was even resorted to by members of the oppcsition themselves, whose local feelings were thus proved to be strong enough, to aliaeathral them at least from all party ties, if it had been a party question, for the pu'r'pose of alarming the fears of the friends of the ad ministration, and driving them into the sure port of the desired appropriations. All these unworthy artifices, had however failed in the Serinte,and in the last resort an appeal had, it-was believed, been made to the Ex• ecutive, an - I his interposition invoked to compel 4 submission on the part of the Le. gislature. It will be thought n little remarkable per. haps,and it is well worthy of note that every conceivable effort was made on the part of those who were anxious for further nppro priatiene, together with the friends of Union Canal, to arrest the deliberations of the Senate, and to bring about an adjourn meat without the paesuge of any Bill what ever for the avowed purpose of creating an occasion for the reconvocation of the Legis lature. They did not hesitate to declare their determinatien to prevent the passage of any Bill making provision for the public debts, the payment of the very contractors whom some of them represented, and the current expenses of the government, unless it should cottain tin appropriation for the prosecution of the work on the unfinished lines. or leave those lines open to further expenditure wider the usual but unnuthoriz- ed practice cf incurring debts beyond the appropriations. The Senate Bill {imputed to put an end to that practice which had grown up in defiance of repeated legal pro visions denying to the Canal Commissioners the authority of pledging the faith of the Cointimanwealth beyond the sums appropri Wed by taw. There was no quarrel in re lotion to this amount in this case. The ad vacates of further expenditure would'gladly have compote) !et! 'fir one half of the sum oftred, on the condition of ifs application to . sew work rather than to the payment of debts. They were detertntned at all events that the debtasheutd not be paid on the terms of auveittion, and in neconlatico with the declarations already referred to, they en Armond to effect in adj airmitent sins die, and failing in that, to speak of the question I until the hour of midnight, or until the are rival of the Proclamation, which was known by them to be in preparation. They suc ceeded. The Proclamation, which, though it bore the internal evidences of precipitan cy, mast have been written at en early hour, becnuse it was required to be copied for both liaises, came. The House of Repre sentatives which was then in session await tho passage of the Senate Bill, melted away under its influence. The Senate, of ceurse.was rendered powerless by the demise of the House,nnd thus the failure to provide fir the wants of the Commonwealth was occasioned by the unrighteous attempt on the part of the Executive himself to dictate to the Representatives of the people a Bill appropriations which their own siderrin judgments had deliberately disapproved. On the re assemblage of the House on the following morning the attempt was renew. id; but it failed again, and the discovery was then made that the Legislature was riot yet in a condition to yield to the bidding of the Executive. Several of the members had, moreover, departed fir their homes; many had completed their arrangements for the like purpose—of the firmer, some were perhaps without notice of the Proclamation a t all, no personal notice or service thereat having been attempted, and so much diver sity of opinion was finind to be till existing, that it was agreed that they should return to and consult with their respective Commit iiencies, leaving in the meantime, up n the sbouldets of the Executive the whole rem. ponsibility of creating the "extraordinary occasion" which he had anticipated in his message and himself putting to hazard the great interests of the Cominuowealth. I have thus endeavored to present as brief a narrative of the events which distinguish• ed the close of the late session as a proper regard for distinctness would permit. I have endeavored of the same time to adhere us strictly as possible to the ficts as they are impressed upon my recollection. If I have erred in any particular, I trust it will he ascribed to any thing but a desire to mis represent where there is so little temptation to depart from the limb. For my own court:elle a representative, I have no apolo gy tri offer because I have nothing to regret. I have emir-levelled to act in this matter as became one who was legislating not for the temporary advantage or n party, but to sub serve the great, perinanent, abiding inter eats of the State and of the people. I was anxious to bind up her broken credit, I wish ed to arrest, fur the time being, that mad career of extravagance which was fast plunging us into a condition of hopeless and irretrievable bankruptcy. I thought that the crisis had now arrived when our descent might be checked, If over, by a hrm and steady hand, and I insisted that it was the duty of those who were willing to create additional debt to take the responsibility of creating a correspondent revenue for the double purpose of restoring our credit, and ensuring a more economical expenditure by reminding the people that the immense debt which is now gathering and compounding at so fearful a rate of progression and ac cumulation must soon burst from its conceal ment and rush down upon their heads with the force of a descending avalanche. lam persuaded that in taking this stand, I have but reflected the opinions of the people, of my District without distinction Of party, and the only regret which I feel is that my ef., forts have not been attended with that de gree of success which I thought they fairly, deserved. It was enough, however, to have failed, without having thatlailure imputed to me as a neglect, of_ duty and the measure which ocs..sioned it lauded as an net of pa triotism. Both, I kfitovrill be now correct ly appreciated. • A t all events I am content to leave it upon the foregoing statement to the candid judgment of the public to deter mine which of parties is worthy of praise and which is obnoxious to animadversion— the Executive who undertook to dictate, or the Legislature which refused to obey.

It is a noble creed—it will bring back our. Government tuthe . purity which character ized it in palmy days of true democracy. Gen.

The question may perhaps be asked of roe, what security I have in my power to offer, if she majority of the American peo ple should , select me for their chief magis trate, that I would adept the principles which I have herein laid down as those upon which my administration would be conduct ed. I could only answer, by referring to my conduct, and the disposition manifested in the discharge of the duties of several im portant offices, which have heretofore been conferred upon me. If the power placer; in my hands line, on even a single occasion, been used for unv other purpose than that for which it was given, or retained longer than was necessarily to accomplish the ob jects designated by those from whom the truths were received, I will acknowledge that either will constitute a sufficient reason for discrediting any promise I may make. under the circumstances in which I am now placed.

From the Troy Ttodget. An Outrageous Act of Inhurnanity.—We have been favoured with the followin2 pain, ful account, corroborated by three of the c ew boloriging on board the vessel herein named: Toe whale•ehip Beaver, of Hudson. Capt. Wm. Rogers, nriived in New York harbour, on the let of slay last, after a _ and tedious voyage of three yeais and a half. Mr. Murray suited, that their first cruise was sixteen months, during which time a number of the crew got the scurvy, so as to endanger their lives. A man by the name of Gorden, u boat cteerer, (under the ri-sum ed name of Jack Brown,) made the tolluiv ing remark: '•lf I was in your places for ward. it the Capt., when we arrived in put. should refuse to give us liberty ashore, I would point a knife at his heart. i s This re mark soon reached the Captain. for which he resolved to give him to the Ctnnibals.— He accordingly, when leaving port, steered to an island in thrt Pacific Ocean, by the name of Savage bland, (inhabited by Can nibals.) When they came in stAt of the Island, the Captain then ordered one half of the crew to go below, and the remainder, with the exception of Mr. Gordcn,to go atoll, which was oh •yed, not knowire, the design In a few moments, the men aloft espied_ at a short distance from the vessel, quite a number of canoes with natives in them; they, however, soon came alnnirside; the Captain then called Gorden to him, and asked the 'first mate, (Lansing, of Albany) what he should do with him? The mate's reply was, "damn him, heave him overboard."— The rapt. accordingly seized G. end put him overboard. After the Captain tot go of him,' he struck on the side of one of the canoes, the natives pushed him off. and would not have any thing to do with him. The Cap thin, on seeing that the natives would not take him, hastened below, brought up, and gave to them a quantity of old rusty knives, to take that man and do with him according to their custom, at is, first to take his life. then roast him, and then eat him—(that is the custom ef; the Cannibals) When Mr. Gr. was but a short distance from the ship, the men aloft beheld this heart rending scene, and could not help shedding tears of pity to hear him implore for mercy! mercy!! until at length they reached some distance from the vessel, but that did not present themfrom hearing his pitiful exclamation, "for God's sake, spare me !" Mr. G. said that he belonged to the city of Troy, and the heart-rending thoughts of leaving a wife arid two children to mourn his fate, must have rendered his anguish more poignant.

We copy the following choice article from the Vicksburg 'Sentinel, the leading Loco Fax) paper in Mississippi: "There is a Colonel McElwee in the Le gislature of Pennsylvania, who appears to be one of the basest of blackguards. He is a thieving democrat, and very much regem• blew the same genus in Mississippi. He is as cowardly as he is corrupt. Ho has been bribed by the United States Bank in com mon with Governor Porter. and some eight or ten members of the Legislature, and when %Ir.

Our principles are pure. and we must not let them suffer by the practices of the selfi.h, the broil and the dis• h..nest.

Clay,for $4,000, dated 20th December, i 839, of the Com mercial Bank of Pentisylvania,Philadelphia, was lately purchased by a respectable bank ing house in this city, as a 84,010 check. It was subsequently endorsed by the purcha sers, and sent to their correspondent in Philadelphia, to whom, on the 18th Febru ary last, it was paid by the hank. It was afterwards discovered to have been altered from $lOO to $4,000. The House in this city has been called on to refund the money, which has been refused on the ground that courts ut law have in similar cases decided that the loss must fail upon the bank that paid the draft, because it was the duty 'tithe bank to see that the draft was genuine in all respects.

The shouts and cheers of tho im mense multitude which had flocked to the Coffee room and Post Office on Saturday night, on reading the official news from Washington, were loud and beyond descrip tions. Yesterday the scene of joy and con gratulation continued. "At I 1 o'clock, 7,aptain Stephenson's corps of artillery fired a annul federal saute. In the evening the city was illuminated." And well may wit rejoice. We rejoice not so much for the splendor of this actnev. ment, as for the solid bentfils which it will produce. Yet in point of splendor we have no reason to believe that when we receive the official account, we shall receive any disappointment. The skill with which the plan wan contrived for overreaching the fly ing enemy, the small foirtion of Harrison's force which was able to come up and cope with him, consisting principally of mounted ' Rangers under Johnson and H ill, and the short period in which she victory was achiev ed, will, we are inclined to susp •ct, impart to it the character of n most gallant anti brilliant achievement.

In the first of theist., he USeEI the fol lowing language, which forms a rare and honorable exception to that employed by most of the opponents of Gen. Harrison. "That it Is a painful as - wt II as an un graeious task to give apposition to the ele vation of n friend to any office, I am free to declaim, and more particularly is it so to me when that olive im the highest to which any man can aspire; but I flutter myself that this circumstance is the most conclusive evidence of my disinterestedness in the case. In the work alluded to t I have represented you as a breve and capable comnuinder, a disinterested patriot, and an honest man; all of which I did and do yet believe you to be, and I, to the utmost of my weak ability, defended you against what I conscientious ly believe to be the foulest slanders, and of those counts in your favor, I have never vet had reason to repent.

' //can Situ This day the Rouse passed the ap propriation Bill on third and final reading, and it was sent to the Senate for concurrence. It is quite a Mammoth affair. Including the probision to meet the interest on the State debt fallitiff due in July next, the aggregate of the appropriation Bill is $3,166,626. Of thin enormous sum, six hun dred thousand dollars is for Repairs! although at the lasi session of the Legislature the sum of more than $BOO,OOO was appropriated for the same oh ject, making nearly one million and an ball of dollars for repairs in one year and an ball of Por ter's administration—and being considerably more than Woe appropriated awl expended for that pur pose during the whole three years of Ritner's ad ministration! and yet it is a fact notorious and admitted by transporters and others acquainted with the condition of our public works, that they wore better managed and in better order under Ritner than now. Hot the former were days of ecunnmy, good management and honesty; the pre sent are those of extravagance, waste and prodi gality! When will the eyes of the people be open ed? The Bill also gives $600,000 to each of the Branch extensions of the State work, the North Branch end Erie Extensions; than which it would he difficult to conceive of works more useleoa and unprofitable. The only redeetning quality in the Bill is an appropriation of $150.000 to pay debt due to the Contractors and others nn the line of the Gettysburg. Keil Road. Even here, however. the House,the Democratic? House of Represent'- tives has only dons justice, tardy as it h, half way. The Bill, as reported to the House by the Committee on Internal Improvement, gave Irjer. est on these debts at the rate of 0 pet cent per an• num, from the time the work was stopped. On motion of Mr. IV' LADY, the Democratic member from Mifflin County, (and I name him that the people of Adams County' may know to whom they are indebted) the Interest was stricken out, on the preteLee that it Wits making un anjliAi discrimina tion to give interest to a portion of the public ere.: (Mors, whilst no such provision was made in favui of others also in the Bill. Your representative, Mr. Smyser, strenuously opposed this act of injus: ties; but the DemoeraCti had willed it, and all op . position was futile. To test the sincerity of these gentry, a motion was made by Mr. rimystr on the day following to amend the Bill, by inserting d new section, giving Interest to •t.c the creditors of the Stare, whose debts were provided fur in the Bill, front the completion of their contracts or the absi.donment of the work. And woull you think These same persons who the day previously bad objected to the allawance of Interest to the creditors of the State living in Adams Cotinty; because it wee not a general provision, Wilted right around, and voted against ibis preposition: and it'veas lost! Coniment is needless: Various moti , r,s made by Meagre. Herr. flinch= man and Smyser to reduce the appropriations to the North Branch and 'Erie Extensions, and hy Mr. Darsie to reduce the items t o f Repair/1, Were also voted down, by party rotes, or nearly so: Yesterday morning a provision was inserted in the Hill, requiring the Governor to call on the B• N R.

I ought to state; that Mill was done , on the riv,L lion of Mr. Pansr, a Van Buren member from Washington county, and that Messrs.

Itd fate in the Senate is doubtful. The House have been all day disitieging a till' to revive the law imposing a State Tax on Heal and Personal property, ittrposed by dud. Wolf in 1831 and repealed by Gov. Miner in 1818. It is the satire kw, with this that it is pro p-Wed now td maketldv tat on Personal property double what it wee then. Several amendments were offered to it and boat, and when the House adjourned, a motion was pending, offered by Mi. Penniman, of Philadelphia, to amend the Bar by inserting a stetion fepealiint (he Resitinpari Rea olutiod• of the 3d of April last, and' obliging the Danko to Yesunaa by the tat of October next, on pain of immediate forfeiture of their charters.

May 27, 1840 Dn*n Sint This morning the House spent about three hount of the morning in discussing and acting on private Bills. 'A joint Resolution was offered by Mr: FogOl. fixing the 2d of lung next for the final adjournment of the Legisloture: but the House refusing to dispense with the hale, it lies on the table until to-morrow. The Honed then resumed the consideration of the Bill to'revive for the apace of five years, the Tax law of 1811, taxing real and personal property fur State ptirPesee. This is the same Tax which was repeakd in the first year of the; administrat:on if Governor Ritter. The gues lion pending was on an amenduterit that had been offered yesterday by Mr. Snowden, repealing the Redurnptiori Resolution i.f 3d April lase, and re.: Inning }ho several Banks of this Commonwealth, - ; to reanriß payment of then notes aed other liubtl ifies in gold ttnd sji,ver, en the tint of October , nexton pain of finfeiture of their charters. The previous gunflint was called; and• sustained: and I on the passage of the Bill the yeas were 43 nays 47. 8o that the Bill was lost. I have no doubt, however, that the came proposition (to lay a Tax) will be brought up ih some other shape in a day or Iwo. It is thought ■ Tax Bill of some kind will be passed before the Legislature rises. The Senate have not taken up the Improvement Bill parsed by the House yesterday, and will not until tomorrow. The House next resumed the second reading of Mr. Snowden's DIII reported on the 21st inst., for the regulation or the „Banks, Savings Institu lions end Loan nf this Commonwealth. By the application of the parliamentinry gag, the Previous question, the four triit sections of the Dill were passed on second reading. The Ist section, Is a good one, *1 it puts an end to the Proxy system or voting. The 2d prohibits the Banks from holding or purchasing any Bank of other stock except the stock of loans of this State or of the Unitill States. The 3d prohibits the issuing of post notes. The ith requires the Banks from and after the let October next, to rlceive at par in payment of all debts, the notes of all the other chartered Banks of this Commonwealth. This section is clearly in contravention Gf the Constilitilon of this Stole end of the United States; for it is, in other words, making Bank notes a kgal (coder in payment of debts in cer tain eases; although the Constitution of the Uni ted statbs, prohibits any State-from making any thing efts but gold or silver, a legal tender, But the dominant party seem to care but little for such trifling considerations as Constitutional objections! Nothing else of any interest has transpired to day. To the Editor of the Baltimore Patriot: BALTIMORE. May 18, 1840.
