The credit of the State was unimpaired, and it home and abroad, her .bends commanded a premium. At no pe• tiod anterior to that event, had she suffered from the same causes, that impaired the credit of the other. States; but unsullied and unsuspected, her faith was entitled to end re:eived the highest confidence,because it was newel' abused, but was always scru puliisly and honorably observed. Since then however, a most melancholy change hes come upon ns. In the first year of Mr. Porter's administration, an ad- Ilitional debt of about e 7,000,000 was au thorized by the 'Legislature,' at his request and upon his own recommendation; thus making the State debt at the end of the year 1839, according to his own showing in his annual message to the Legislature of 1540, $34,141,883 80. At the nr-zt Ses aioo et' the Legislature, that _of 1840—a large majority of the members of both hue see Made op of his political friends,at his re quest and Jpoll his recommendation again of. &hilly communicated to them,in defiance of .the increasing embarrassments of the State, and theiven resistance of those who. Were opposed to an enlargement of the public liabilities—again authorized a further in crease of the permanent State debt to the amount 0f53,375,520. Thus making the State debt, at the end ofthe year 1840 439,- 547,28980. 'But the Governor with all these tete before him.—with pecuniary difficulties meeting him at every step, end warned, as every prudent man.would haveheen, that we had reached that point, when it.became necessary to examine our position with a critical eye, and by exercising the most rigid economy endeavor to retrieve ear waning fortunes, ana maintain the credit we enjoyed in better days, unhurt amid these adverse and disastrous circumstances, instead tif sympathising with our adversity --openly encouraged the most extravagant expenditures. Incapable of properly up predating, either the wants or the wishes of the people, consulting only the interests of hie chosen friends and yielding, himself an instrument to carry out the purposes' of those to whose guidance he has submitted throughout the whole coarseer his admin istration, he pursued the same profligate career; and by means of his Canal Corn tniesitinera, went on, after the last dollar 01 the Loans authorized' by 'the different acti of 1840, were expended, nominally to complete the public improvements, but acluatry th enrich. his friends, by working on the faith" and credit atilt!

With.an exhausted Trirasury, an impart.• ed credit, and without the means 'of paying the interest, accruing on the 'publii debt, Legiehitive action became necessary to pre , vant'the Comnionweelth from becoming pr4cticilly bankrupt.% To do this, and to pay debte actually due and contracted;in the manner we have seen; up to the acirritrienCe merit ,of the present year; a Lose to' the Ori:fuel 0f13,100,000 was required and 'is; indieperiable.

After tousth. coneultatioa and *Ulan craw:Olen; end alter all ether. had failed, the only plan which it was supposed would reconcile conflicting interests was adopted, that the Commonwealth might be enabled tgeeet the eXigenciel of the times and wasting:her credit. But that plan thus matured, was.ataid in.the Executive chain ber and on the fi st of May at the close of the Session, was returned, with the Execu tive veto , The membera of the legislature, harmed beyond further endurance, by these repeated acts of tyranny on the part of the Governor, groping their wayin dark ness and uncertainty as regarded the Exec utive - pleasure, and who still obstinately re fused to communicate his views in confor mity with the requisitions of the constitution he was sworn to support—Unable of them. selves to afford relief, wisely resolved to return to their constituents' with the conso latory ,reflection, that they at least, had dis charged their duty. Then it was, that the duplicity of David R. Porter became apparent. Feeling the full weight of the respOnsibility which he bad incurred resting upon him, and dread ing the indignation of an 'insulted and in jured people, he sought to avert its vieita film upon himself, by bringing his official influence to operate on a few of big political friends, and those among the mast embitter. ed opponents of the Bill on its final passage in the Houle, so that with their support, it might'become a law by a constitutional ma• jority. What the arguments made use of were, we neither know nor are they unpin. tent to this inquiry. Suffice it to say, they were - sufficient to induce the members to a hom they were addressed,to stand between the people•and the Governor. Ofsuch con duct, on the part of the latter, we cannot speak with patience. it excites a feeling of indignaluen in the breast of every honest man, constraining him' to regard with feel ings of pity the public' functionary, who could thus by official influence Induce oth ers to stand between himself and the uncer tain sentence which the publics might pass upon that which he desired should be exe cuted, yet feared to consummate by his own act. Yet this is but one among a tlsousand instances of a similar departure from the paths of official rectitude. We appeal to you fellow citizens, to regard this conduct of the magistrate as you would that of any other man, and as your judgment guides you in the latter case, so let it be with the officer. Elated with the possession of power, and destitute alike of the knowledgo to guide him in his decisions, of the wisdom rightly to discriminate between the subjects calling for its legitimate exercise, (Lid those in re lation to which it was rimier contemplated brill° Constitution, he has used the veto power to an extent inconsistent with sound republicanism, beyond all former example in the history of this country and unegalled by that afforded by the history of the kings of Grest l ilritain. In consequence of this extraordinary assumption_ of power, his opposition to the action- of the Legislature has been characterised, from the COM. mencement, by marked inconsistencies and the most absurd coutradictions. His own friends believing him to be sincere, in sus taiaing his Vetoes, have mist unexpectedly to themselves been charged by him, with hostility to his measures. At another time, when so sustained against his wishes, he has succeeded, by threats and promises. with the. rod of executive power, or the more seductive influence of promised favor, in persuading them to run the risk of in curring that responsibility; which he dared not assume. Upon thiisubject, we do not speak un advisedly. The journals of the legislature for'the 9th day of January, 1840; present the novelapectacle of eight Executive ve toes; and the journals for the same session several others. Again, the journals of the late Legislature (1841) are burthened with at least ten snore; and with but a single exception, no other reasons are advanced than those of local inexpediency as the ground of objection• In the exception referred to.:--the first bill providing for the eledtion of Canal Commissioners—conatitn tional objections were assumed and taken, Oa true; but these objections were based upon aelause in the constitution of 1790 which he Must have known, had been re- peated by "the constitution of 1938. To presume the contrary, is' to suppose him ignorant of the constitution which it is his sworn duty.to support; and to admit his lmowledge of what he wakdoing, is to-con vict him of a wilful and deliberate attempt to mislead the Legislature and deceive' the people, that he might thereby, retain the patronage of the publte improvements, and without which, he welt knew;all his hopes of re-election would be defeated. Local bills, one for instance to remedy an error committed by the Prothonotary of Huntingdon county, in neglectirrg to make the proper entry of a deed barring an estate tail—another for the abolition of a court in the county of Lancruner, supported out of the county funds,and the passage, of which is earnestly desired by all classes of the citizens of that county with a unanimi ty unparellelled—another for the regulation and internal police of the Cheater Co. mi. soil, and yet another, for the payment of debt(' due by the Commonwealth in good faith, to'creditore holding adyerse political sentiments to those entertained by, himself, have 'all been vetood‘by hint in the arbitra ry exerenie of the most delicate power with which the Executive is armed. But this is not all. With the same obstinacy:vvhich has so pie eminently marked his „OK' . fat career,,he.still persists not e only tri!en4e,tlAt oring by his acts to - defeat thikpopyliii ; iirill, ,but to embarrass and perplex the pe6ple,'.6V withh'elding'hilitissent from laws passed; by it large _majority of their representatives, corAttnity with the known and expressed 'wishes of their constituents, and essentially necessary far the public good. Among these may be enumerated the General; Election District Dill, interesting to tho citizens 1(4'01 sections of the • State, because ifetrirds them greater facilities for ezerciiiing the elective franchise, by bring ing dos polls - Engem to their respective dwelling plasm. , And yot this bilb one of pressing and immediate impottance, paste ed several days befere,the final adjournment atilt Legislature, is still uoaCted upon in the hands of the Executive. - Again, the bill providing for the election of Canal Commissioners by the people, and dividing the State into five election districts for that purpose, was also passed before the rising of the General Assembly; but notwithstand ing it has been repeatedly asked fur by the people, and that with scarcely ,a dissent ing voice, bee the former, it is still_unscied upon by the Governor. The undersigned do not undertake to conjecture what may be the probable fate of this bill. It is true, it provides that cer tain gentlemen therein named, shall consti tute the board of Canal Commissioners from the First day of June 1841, until the First Mondaleof February next, and that et the next genetal election a board of five members shall be duly elected by the peo ple in conformity with its provisions. But although this bill has not as yet received the Executive signature, and as these gen. tlemen are required, Irons and • after the First day of Jude last past, to assume the duties of Canal Commissioners, and as the election at which candidates are to be voted for, is the next General Election, to he held't on the Second Tuesday of October, in the ' year One thousand eight hundred and forty one, it is possible,That the bill may yet re. ceiee the approbation of the Governor, and you be called upon to vote for candidates as therein provided for. We do not say that this will be the case; but from abun dant caution we cannot forbear recanamen. , ding to the citizens of the counties compo. sing the several canal districts, to appoint delegates at their approaching Comity Meth ` ings and Conventions, in anticipation, to hold themselves in readinee to meet dele gates similarly appointed from the other Counties, in the First district, at the city of Philadelphia; foe the second at din city of Lancaster, in the county of Lancaster; for the' Third, at the Borough of Wil barnsport, in the county of Lycoming; for the Fourth, at the Borough of Bedford, ill the county of Bedford; and tor the fifth, in the city of Pittsburg; at each time as may be designated by themselves, to nom. Mate a suitable candidate for the office of Canal Commissioner, to be supported by the Democratic Harrison party of such district, at the next general election, in the event of the bill now before him, suddenly receiving the signature of the Governer. " For the better understanding of this subject, we refer you to the bill as it passed both Houses and was sent to this Governor, a .copy of which is hereuuto subjoined. We do not wish follow citizens, to be understood as at all intimating, that there is any present cletign on the part of the Executive to entrap the people, or to over reach them in this particular; but when we see him without any legal authority, and in direct violation of the 224 Section of the Ist Article of the Constitution, which pro vides that: "No money shall ba arawn from, the'Treasury but in consequence of appropriationa made by law," drawing his warrant en the State Treaserere in rarer of his brother James M. Porter and Ovid F. Johnson forS2ooo,for alledged legal services when we see him abusing his constieutional prerogative, and in m direct violation of the . very spirit and meliug of, its provisions, setting the alarming and dangerous wee dent of granting pardons to political favor ites, charged by the Grand Inquest of the Commonwealth with the commission of crimes and misdemeanors, before trial and conviction; we are admonished to take heed, that our rights are not prejudiced by an over confidence in him. For when once the fundamental law of the land is openly disregarded by the chief magistrate it is not likely, that your interests will be by him more sacredly regar'ded. From the consideration of such conduct, calculated as it is, to destroy that reasona ble confidence we ought to place at all times in our public men, we turn, to say but a few words in suppOrt of the/ man, whom the people- by a spontaneous move ment never before equalled, and with a unanimity prognosticating the certainty of success, iiave placed in nomination as the opposing candidate of David R. Porter. That man is John Banks of Berko county, emphatically the man or the people, in whom they can confide, because he has never abused their confidence, nor in any public or private station violated his trust. Selected by the people themselves, not by the concerted action -of an exelailve set of Individuals to effect their own objects, he cornea before you as a man, in all things the very opposite of David R. Porter. A democrat of the old School, he has always held fast'ln the great principles identified with the early, success of the party. Re. slating the unsound doctrines and 'crude notions of false teachers, he has cafinly but - firmly pursued !heaven tenor of his way, honoring and adornieg every elation to w i n e, the partiality`, agile fellow citizens promoted him, or to which he was called for hie moral 'worth.

A .democrat as we have seen in principle and in practice, he is like the venerated Harrison, the open advocate of a pure Gov ernment and the ONE TERM PRINCIPLE. In his hands, the power of the Common wealth will be safe, and we cannot but feel assured, that he will ' by the observance of a jest and prudent economy; prevent any unnecessary increase of the State debt, at the same time, that all its interests and the interests of all; are carefully considered. in his electio n , - fellow citizens, you wilebe relieved from that i ruin which will surely come upon you, by R continuance of your present corrupt administration., The time is now rapidly approaching when you will be called upon to choose between David R.

But as it watt deemed indispensable for the purpose of revenue to meet ths wants of the 'Govern ment, .it was thought advisable to adopt It altheugh the preponderating good was net unmixed with .evil. A correspondent of of the Richmond Whig explains in the' fol. .lowing totter, very fairly, we believe, the manner in which tea and coefee were subjec. ted to duty:. "litiere its one feature in which the bill . was particularly objectionable to most of the Whigs viz: the tax on tea and coffee. The Whig membera hold a caucus on this subject at which a large majority deter mined that tea and coffee should be exempt from taxation. Accordingly when the bill was under consideration in the Committee of the Whole, Mr. Lawrence, of Pa. a prominent Whig [number, moved to amend the bill by adding tea and coff4e to the list of free articles- Before the queetion could bo taken on the proposition, Mr. Clifford, of Maine, a leading Loco cocci and a ready parliamentary tactician, (having been Spea ker of one branch of the Legislature ur Maine), immediately moved to amend the amendment of Mr. Lawrence by adding to tea and coffee, "sugar, molasses and atilt."

Foco party then united with Mr. C. in voting for tbe amendment to the amendment, and in conjunctien with such of ihe ultra anti•tariff Whigs as wished tea andtoffee to be taxed, carried the a mendment. The Whigs were thus placed in a very awkward predicament, (rem which they, in vain, attempted to extricate thetriselyee. W inthrop, 'of Boston, 'tailed for a division of tbe question on The amend ment neamended ao as to present the 'gum tion separately . , but the chair very prompt ly decided that the Vote of .s he committee having joined them together, the Chair could not put them asunder. The Whig party were thus pompano(' either to vote for the entire proposition or to vote the whole down. • Under these circumstances they could not hesitate to reject it entirely. And thus it comes to pass that by a dex trous mancouvre ofthe Locos, tea and coffee are to he taxed! And yet with these facts staring them in the face. I ehould not be surprised if the Locos had the hardihood to attempt to raise • ,an outcry against the Whigs for taxing- articles which entered into the consumption of the poorl I. hope you, will keep •these facts prominently before the public and let the people see the meas ures which are to be resorted to, to make political capital."

The eeitor of the Courier addax—"We wqre a passenger on board the Queen.on her first voyage across the Atlantic, on which occasion her coal became ignited and burnt with such fury that the men were driven from the hold, and the fire only ex tinguished by pumping water upon the coal in large quantities by means of the machi nery. The fire was discovered at about two o'clock A. M , and was only known to about a dozen of passengers, who were on ,deck at the time,and wo agreed not to name it to the passengers generally, as it might create unnecessary alarm. Capt. Roberts exhibited the greatest coolness during the period there was dan ger of the fire extending; and from the time that the men were driven from the hold dile vessel until the fire was extin. guished, there was certainly great cause for linx;ety and'alarm. The great volume of water thrown into the hold by the use of the steam pumps soon satisfied us however, that if the danger was great, the means of extinguishing fire was still greater. In conversing with Captain Roberts upon the cause ofthe great mass of coal becom. ing ignited, ho expressed the opinion that some portion of it must have come in con tact with the boiler; but this mode of tic counting for it.was quite unsatisfaroory,and ,if the fact be established that spontaneous combustion ever did take place from Bitu minous Coal, then wo shall not doubt that the fire to which we allude on board the &Web Queen, an account of which was published at the time in an eastern paper, certainly proceeded from this cause.-- Captain Robertsovidently could not account for the cause of the fire; or at all event; it was evident to us, that ho put no faith in the assigned cause. - HORBIBLII ) :MURDERA late Western paper contains the following account of one of the most horrible occurrences on record: "One of the most awful deeds which has perhaps ever come within the knowledge of human race, was perpetrated in the vi einity of this place, on Sunday morning last, by Mrs. Roper. She killed three of her own children, by cutting their heads, of with an axe. From the information which we have received on the subject, it seems to have been done while she was in a fit of mental derangement. It was her intention to have killed twe more in the same manner, but afterwards hang herself with .a hank of yarn, but her husband-walk ing up, discovered something extraordina- ' ry in her actions and seized her around the waist; after a strong effort , on her part to escape from him, during which she tried to draw ono of three knives from the ceiling, which she bad previously sharpened and put there, they reached the door when he discovered what she had been doing. "She is the mother of eleven children, including the three which she Allied. She appears now to be restored to reason, and is a pitiable spectacle of the deepest and most bitter , anguish. She sap, that while under the influence of a 'distorted imagina tion, she thought she was doing a charita ble action in ridding her husband of the blather' of supporting herself and their five youngest children; a, he is a poor and very bard , working man.'
