Here you alight and enter a region or chaos. No' more trees, vegeta tion, birds on insects are to be seen. Ev ery thing is dark, bri,tiing. with points, rent into deep and rugged fractures,. covered with scoria, of a sulphurous smell, which tear yourTeit before they burn them. You are now at tho foot of the cone: and all that remains` to be done is to ascend vertically along tlui exiernal' vides of the volcano, halt. ing on yOtkr way to cast a glimce at a plateau, called La Somata, whichi no doubt, al'ond time, the main focus of Vesuvius. . If year heart has not failed you along this lailder . of dried lava, you will reach the top of the . Volcano in three quarters of - an hour. Ilere the sight begins—a terrible original, and unexpected one,'notwithstand ing allthe descriptions- giver, of it. lm aginoii . . funnel five hundred metres deep, whaie upper edges present innumerable crevicei, while from the lower part rise cliiuds sUlPtiurious vapor, which escape by .numberlesd apertures, bordered with dusuola lively orange - color.

The ground, when strongly Pt ruA, yields a cer• la i n „ l oathe—in - MO, and as you go round th e mountain you meet with gaping aper tures, at bottom of which burns a red and fatt,sl,l3 one. I have plunged into one of these pits a long chesnut tree stick, fresh cut and covered with its still moist bark, and it has instantly caught fire. As you kneel before these infernal gates to ascer tain their depth,you di'stinctly perceive with in hand reach the flume bending upon itself, dense, qthet,and almost limpid: it discharges clouds of sulphurous acid gas,which excite n cough, and soon compel the observer to quit the spot. The ground, if , such name can be given to the dangerous floor which covers the orifice of the volcano, isetrewed with 'grey lava, ashes, melting sulpher and p 3 rite substances, whence escaperoat inter vals a white smoke which affects your eyes and lungs, and yet you cannot retire .with• out reluctance from the awful scene. One can scarcely conceive how that crater, to narrow in its lower part, has vomited heaps of lava large enough to form a mountain lour times as large as the Vesuvius itself, without mentioning the ashes, small peb bles, and masses of boiling. water, which the wind has carried to enormous distancee. Notwithstanding its tearful aspect, the Vesuvius may be easily approached, even when its eruptions take place. The lava itself, whose progress is so formidable and inflexible, advances with extreme slowness. Ono has time to avoid or fic before it. The slightest obstacle stops it; it turns round objects, burns them if combustible, and en velopes and petrifies them ns it cools, if• they be not , so. Thus it is that the city of flerculanceum has been sealed into a semi• metallic mass, and as it were, cast in the lava which now covers it. Pompeii has disappeared under - a discharge from Vesu• vius—under a shower of ashes and little stones, which have gradually though rapid ly covered it, just as certain Alpine villages disappear beneath the snow, in our severe winters. Such is the-reason why so rrluch money is expended in uncoveting but a few small parts of Herculanceorn, namely, its theatre, ,which continues hid in utter darkness; while a third part of Pompeii has been celared, exhibits itself to the open sky, and renders us contemporary with its in habitants. Lit us, therefote, hasten drisvn the Vesuvius, and view itti ravages, which have miraculously preserved for us in lie whole splendor, a city of thiity thousand souls, buried for eighteeh hundred years past.

It Wee in 1689 that the ruin's of the city made their appearance for the first tithe in tin excavation mhde at raodoin, which was resumed in 1730, and finally organized in 1739, with admirable ducces.S. The die covery of the theatre and of every thing else had taken place since that period. 'the theatre is of Greek arehitecture; it is orna mented with d fine front and With marble columns standing on the stage itself; the spectatcirs occupied 29 scows of steps, With a gallery above embellished with bronze stattles. One can still•distinguish the pla ces allotted to the magistrates, the scene behind which thoz, actors withdretii and number of objects Which excite in the trav eller mingled astonishment and emotion.— There are also at Hercalanceum, a forum, sirrounded with porticos and temples,which are dlmost all of theta deinaged, and a jail with old rusty iron bars, to which thd pri soners were chained—a melancholy feature of all times and places, and a monotonouti emblem of aboietyat all periods. As you leave these excavations, Which have as yet made little progresd, and cannot be much extended without endangering the safety of Portici, you distinctly pfiectiiile several strata of lava proving beyond doubt that Herc.iltinctsuin Was' droWded in repeated eruptions of Vesuvius. The difficulty of carrying on the excava titine at so groat a depth, and',. under the very foundationd'ot a new town; has caused the ruins of Herculanceum to be althodt abandoned for theed of pte sent afar more striking' interest: At, Her- I culanceum there are only catacombs.

Enter, you have nothing to fear; but I dare not tell you whore you are, unless you per ceive the sign oiler the door. What think you it? and yet facing one of those houses stands a temple , of Vesta!

Open that cuphoard,ynu find there preserved olives, dried figs, W- I tile, and eatables of (+eery description. A sauce-pan has been carried to the Naples Museum, containing a piece of tneat as well preserved as by Mr. Abbert's process.— What a number of meals Vesuvius inter rupted ou that woful day ! I, nevertheless, do not think that the Romans were great eaters. I have care fully explored a number of kitchens and di ning rooms of Pompeii, and I have found even in the richest houses, but very trifling cooking apparatus and miniature table uten sils.. Their plates were real saucers, and the tables upon which the dinner was ser ved up but little stands, in general of stone or marble, which could hold but ono dish at a time. The guests lay down around as soldiers around their mess. What is ad mumble, delightful, charming, rind over whelming to us barbarians of the nineteenth i century, is the exquisite pureness and deli. cacy of. shape of all the utensils which ser ved in Roman domestic life. One must see those charming little bronze calefileters, (for every thing was bronze) those tripods, l scales, beds, chairs, those graceful and so ingeniously wrought shields, ivhich fill up the whole rooms at the. Naples Museum. One, must, above all, sec the toilet arsenal of the Roman ladies, their combi, tooth pica I curling irons, and the pots of vegetable or mineral rogue found in a boudoir. Thus the Roman ladies used moue and deceived people, just as is practiced now n days; they wore, like our those neckTaCeg, rings land ridiculous ear-rings,-which add nothing to beauty and assist nut ugliness. How times resemble ono another, in spite of the space that separates them. • About thirty streets of Pori-mei' are now restored to light; it is a third part of the town:—The walls which formed it's aniient inclbsure have bead recognized; a magnifi cent amphitheatre, a theatre, a forum, a temple of Isla, that of Venus, and a number ofother buildings have been cleared. The secret stairs by which the priests of those times slily crept to (prompt the oracles, have been detected. On beholding so ma ny monuments which display in so lively a manner the importance of public, and the independence of private life among the Ro mans, it is impossible to resist .a feeling of sadness and melancholy. Behold, along that fall of earth, and the breast of a woman who was buried alive, and stiffened by death —behold the stones of that wall, worn by the rubbing of the topes—examine that guard house covered with earricatures of soldiers—one might suppose that the Ro man people still existed, and that we were strangers in one oftheir towns. Who knows what future discoveries may be Made in those august ruins? Murat employed uponthem two thousand men.every year. Only sixty men and ..elOOO are WAY em ployed upon them.

' [coNciamci).] But this engrossing subject is not the only one for which legislation was nee ded. Nor is it the only one in which the wishes of the people have been frustrated by the unstable and preverso will of the Executive. At least ten Eiecutive vetoes disfigure the Joninale of this session, and in but one of them has the Governor pretended to in didAir other` than considerations of local expediency of Which the replesentatives of the people believed they were the begt jedgee. And to thesingle,cooptiori.straine OS it may seem to onr fellow citizens, so few orwhonaare igherant of the provisions of the Colisithrtion wider, which we hve.the Goveinor (enacted his objection on a clause in an obsolete, ,Constitution which more 3 43 than two 0 3 ; ego, was abrogated by a vote of the peciple. Nor had the Execu jive the manliness either to admit the error 41* error it was, or assign the true cause of the misrepre section until it had been dis Covered and rebuked by the vigilant action of the Representatives of tho people. For proof of this assertion, now made with re , gret but from a sense of justice, the under- Signed refer to Journals, where it will be seen that in a message o n the 10th Fain. ADDRESS ry last, the Governor quoted Ds in force the old Constitution as justifying his nega tive to an important bill, and that on the 12th, now however, until after the mis-quo tation had been detected in the House of Representatives, ho acknowledged it in 'a supplemental communication and attribu ted it to a mistake in transcribing. No one can read the passage with tlse context and believe that it was an accidental error. We ask the people to examine the Journ als and then judge for themselves. This is the solitary instance in which the Governor has frustrated our Legisla tion on account even of pretended constitu tional scruples. A few instances of his abuse of the power the constitntion has conferred upon him are fresh in our 'reeol lection. They will show to the people how the public time has been wasted by the constant and frivolous Executive inter ference. It became necessary to supply the o mission of a Prothonotary in lluntangdon I county to note the record of a deed baring an entailed estate—A'petition was presen ted, referred axkl.eiamined, and a ball to the effect rehuired was passed into law. No remonstrance was presented though am ple time was afforded. No public policy was effected. The bill passed in connee. lion with an important public ball exten ding to all Religious societies withuut dis tinction, the right to hold lands for church el and burial grounds Notwithstanding the public exigency, and for no adequate reason, the executive returned the measure with his unexplained objections. The stein of religious intolerance was len on our Statute Book, and the public time was wasted by the necessity ofmenacting thlit which was confessedly unexceptionable. lithe people of Lancaster county desire to abolish an useless court prostituted to party uses, the Executive differing in open ion, at suggesting no constitutional' difficul ty, vetoes the bill but suggests the refer ence of the question tq the votes of a por tion of the people of the country. If according to his suggestion, the ques tion is referred to the decision of-all who contribute to the support of the court have a right to decide on its continuance, the obduracy of Executive will is not softened and he vetoes the bill again, becausti Ise thinks on the question differently from the Representatives whom the people of the very county has elected. But eform'than all—the Governor will not permit the Legislature to regulate the dicipline of a county prison—a bill plodding fur a change in the mode of appointment of lospectorinilaisions, and - Doorkeepers of a prison in Chester county was passed by both Rouses, and has been vetoed by the Governor for no other pretext than that which differing views of expediency offer- ded. The people must judge of this abuse I I of power. If thisbe tolerated—if on all questions of local interest when the people have spo ken first in the choice of representatives, then through those representatives, and the Legislature has exercised its sound and honest discretion, the Executive is to inter• fere and thus defy the popular will, fur bet ter would it be to dispense with the com plicated system of popular representation. its expense and its delays, and give to the government that unity of design which ap pears in the view of the Executive would stem to be its perfection. 'At any other period than this, the under signed are free to admit they believe a diff erent course would have been pursued by the Governor. A wanton abuse of power without object, they are disposed to attrib ute to no public functionary. But on -the eve of an election, when the incumbent of the Executive office is a candidate for re , election, the infirmity of human nature, always devolved in the tenaciousness of offi ce, is only overcome by a spirit of indepen dence, such as even by his friends is not claimedfor the present Executive.—To re tain this possession of patronage and power, to' . cultivate factions or party in fl uences howeier minute—whether among the tip staves of a Mayor's Court, or turokev of a Colmtvt goal;-• , ;•to secure - all doubtful friends ;-:-I•;:disperele With the execution of tho laws —to pardon admitted libellers before trial and give a -plenaVy •-•indulgence to them to violate all la w - hisafter; are some of the fruits of the privilege of re-election opera ting on unscrupulous partisans. The un dersigned have had no _reasou to regard the present pos.:iv:ors of power to be excep tions to the rule. . Bensible of this exposure to temptation and yielding to the expression of public o pinion on this point, the undersigned at an early period of the session procured the passage of an amendment to the Constitu tion limiting the Executive to a single term. !fon any point the public voice has spoken, it is on this. The promise of the venera• ted EtARRISON, a promise, the sincerity of which even political animosity did nut ques tion that in no event would he be a candi date for re-election, and his opinion that such an amenCment to the Federal Consti tution was desirable, has consecrated this One Term principle in the affections of the people of Pennsylvania. and each day's ex perience tends to ripen that sentiment into deliberate judgment. Does any one doubt that had the present Governor of Pennsyl vania been intelligible for a second term, he would not have more faithfully dischar ged his high daties and would have raised himself beyond the sphere of party move ments to which he seems to be confined! Unfavorable as is the judgment which the undersigned have been compelled to form of the present Executive they have no hes- itation in saying that his conduct and policy would have been dill:new had the tempts lion to do wrong been withheld. Before the 4th ofMarch last, when the present Governor was re-nominated, the amendinent to the Constitution had pas sed the Senate where it was resisted by the friends of the Adwinultration, and was under consideration in the House, of Representatives. It afterwards passed the House of Representatives by an overwhelm ing majority, but eight members voting in the minority, and they all accredited friends of the Executive. It must next indirectly be submitted to the people, alivays the last and serest re sort, and by them at the next general elec. lion it must be decitled.—Wo submit it to you as part our acte. Having weighed it well, having looked at it in all its rela tions to the interests of the people which we were sent here to guard, we submit to you and to your decision now as ever shall wo submit. The next legislature must revise this act of ours and ive appeal to von to make this the test hereafter. There was one matter of great public in terest to which the attention of the under signed was early called. They refer to the condition of the public works, and to the abuses which were supposed to east there. There was a prevalent opinion among the people that the Canal Commissioners, de pendent immediately on the Executive, had prostituted their high functions, and had bestowed on personal end political favorites a large share of the patronage which un• happily for the people, they are author. ized .to dispense. The public has been star tied from its confidence by the astonishing disclosure that the public works during the last two years under the care ofthe present Canal Board have cost for management and repair the sum of two million one hundred and fifty-jive dollars=or an average of , one million and 'seventyfive thousand and forty dollars for each year of GoVernor Porter's administration, whilst during the late administration "the average- even at pe nods of extraordinary accident never excee ded eight hundred and six theusand stir hundred and ninety six dollars. Unable to account for this by any theory but that which is founded on a conviction of the want of integrity of the public agents and earnestly desiring to restore public confi. denco to the tringniflicent system of improve rnenta for which somuch has been expended and in the success of which the best hepes of the people are centred, the House of Rep. resentatives soon niter its Organization in. stituted d thorough investigation into the conduct of the Canal Board. Its results Will soon be before the world and to those results we direct your • et4l . Y attention. They justify suspicion—they authorize and demand . the strongest reprobation—they are the results of Calm and deliberate en cjuiry in which justice was fairly dorie, am• pie opportunity Of •exculpation afforded; witnesses were publicly examined and cross examined, and the 'Canal Commision era will stand before the public, convicted on unquestioned evidence of gross and pal. pable abuse of potver. Who can wonder at the increasing expenditure on our public works, when they road and • hear of each instances as ono or two, which taken at ran dom from the report of the investigating Committee, are but specimens of B worse and more startling developements hereafter. It became necessary to purchase ropes for the inclined planes. The best article was offered by manufacturers Of unquestion ed merit a'nd could have been procured for the aggregate• amount of $7,877, a political partizan offered it to the , disposers of the public bounty for 89,049. The competi- tion was no imager equal, the partizan ob tained the contract, and on this one article the Commonwealth lost eleven hundred and seventy-one dollani. It bedame necessary to relay eleven miles of railroad near the city of Philadel phia. It was hi unquestioned proof that this work• might have been done and well done for thirty.six thousand dollars. it was done and cost the Coinmonwealth fifty tour thousand five hundred and eighty-six dollars, causing a loss of more than eigh• teen thousand dollars; for reason no doubt as patriotic as those which" regulated the purchase of ropes. Among the laigest and most important work on our Canal line is the construction of the Reservoir near Hollidaysburgh. For this work three officers were made and the contract given to a 'political friend at what cost to you felloW-citizens, will thus appear: For grubbing and clearing, two contrac. tot's offered to do it for $950; John Mitchell charged s7oo,"and has the contract. For rock Excavation, two contrActors off- Fret thirty nine eents,and Mr. Mitchell has it for forty-ezght cents: ' For common excavation below water— two contractors offered, ono twenty and one twenty-four cents, but Mr Mitchell °ti ered thirty-three cents and he has• the con• tract- too. • For good earth embankment one con tractor offered seventeen cents and one 15 cents, but Mr. Mitchell - has done it„for. cents. For coarse stuff' embankment , one .con tractor offered nineteen cents, another set% enteen cents., and Mr. ,Mitchell has it for thirty cents, and so it will appear through. out till it Is demonstrable thnt the loss to the Commonwealth in this one, wolf( wilt not be loss than twenty thousand dollats.

The period will soon come when the popular will is to be again determihrd into whose hands the Executive power of the State is to he entrusted for the next three year's. What that decision will be we do not doubt. The events ofthe winter have added to the ne cessity of a change and to that change a• lone must the people' look for permanent substantial relief.
