The enormous amount at capital invested in our various works of internal improve ment,: admonish us to exert our utmost power, to render them productive. There is ode matter connected with this subject, to which I desire to call your earnest at - tendon. The experience of every year proves more clearly the recestiity of our action upon it. I allude to the removal of obstructions from the channel of the Ohio river. The generatgovernntent has sev evil times directed its inquiries into this measure. but has never yet undertaken the effectual execution of the project. It is a rneasure in which Pennsylvania is most deeply, but nut alone interested. The great and growing western and southwest ern states, embracing nearly the entire val ley of the Mississippi and its tributaries, have a direct and abiding interest in• its speedy completion, av well as Nonsylvania. For the. important national purposes, of transporting the mail, far transferring ar. mks, and conveying the munitions of war,tt as of quite 119 great moment. Indeed it ad. dresses itself to every duty, state and nation al,and appeals to every interest that should -command the care and guardianship of both g•wernanents; in a manner not easily re sisted. Coosidermg it. (as the legislative guar diens of Pennsylvania,) we are constrained to urge it upon the general government on grounds the most just and unanswerable.— Cut off, as the navigable communication with our improvements, is, from Pittsburg to Louisville for a largo portion of the year, it diminishes the value of those im provements to a ruinous degree,—forces l business upon other less direct and conve nient mates, and, of course, operates to the serious disadvantage of the mercantile, agricultural, and manufacturing 'classes of our citizens. It is a singular and startling feet, that insurances on goods to be deliv ered at Cincinnati, are now effected in the city of Philadelphia cheaper and more rea dily, by the way of the New York canals, Lake Erie and the Ohio canal, than by the directand.natural route through our own impiovements to Pittsburg. .11 learn that the whole difficulty in this particular, lies in the uncertainty of the navigable state of the Ohio river. Thus is a large share of business daily diverted from our public im provementsond the probability, nay the' ccraifittis, that' an regular lines of trans poitationiie established on thbse collateral improvement/Obis diversion of business will be ' , greatly. augmented. •We are most imperatively called . *limn,' t o . look to this matter before it is to late. In the comtneqcetent of her stupendous system or ß otic imp . rovernents, this state was induced to 'encitr 'the vast liability she did. under Si bonvictien that the trade and business ot the west and south would afford an adequate return. It was on the general assurance that this would be secured to her, 'that she opened the highway to the sea-board for. those rich and vast interior regions.— Pennsylvania now relies on the sense of jus tice;which she knows will on this, as on all subjects actuate her sister states, in deter mining on a measure calculated to alleviate the burthen that is weighing down her citizens. Those states which, during the progress of our main line-of improvements from Philadelphia to Pittsburg, looked on with an interest little less lively than our own, will not surely withhold their aid from rendering the channel of the Ohio navigable at all practical seasons, and thus completing the entire line of improvements began by Pennsylvania, now when experi ence has demonstrated the necessity of this measure.• I trust the Legislature will exert its utmost efforts, to engage the national government in this work which is en obviously one warranted by its constitu tional power. and by sound policy. It is prober to mention two other mea sures of national policy in connection with thie'subject, in both of which this State has ouch an interest, as to justify the interposi tion of the Legislature. I speak in refer- Anne to the establishment of a National Foundry, add the construction of a Dry Dock at Philadelphia. The first of those has recently engaged the attention of Con. greet, and seems likely to be received with general favor. , Not disparaging the claims of other sections of the country. we may without fearing . ..contradiction on very ra ' wino! groutuisr, -urge in behalf of Pennsyl * vania the most cnnclusive reasons. Among • them are our central position, our contigui ty to sea-boards, our numerous and per fectly safe inland communications with almost every section of the Union, and abnve all, the deposites of meal and iron scattered throughout our borders, to an extent unknown in any other quarter of the world. Wu have in these every conceive. ble advantage, to recommend some point, perhans in the valley of the Susquelionna,to the selection of Congress, as . a site for a National Foundry; and theatre reasons in point of loeurioo apolv with equal force in favvr ofccm-truciing a Dry Dock at Phil adelphrn• Itl ildtittintl to these, its safety from the attneks 41111 enemy, rte fresh water olop!if.s. its yonventenres of procu rinz trittwr mid workmen, all conspire to 'enforce it- claims upon the notice of the Clsrissal Govern.lierit in the most convinc ing form- I will cheerfully co-operate with you in any manner deemed most advisable in impressing these consideratinns upon the Nomad Government. If properly re. I presented, I do not think they can be over looked. The recent convulsions in our commer cial affairs have tended to the deep and 'lasting injury of this commonwealth. I fear it will require years of industry, pru. donee and integrity to wipe out the stain from our escutcheon, and to replace us on that solid, manly and proud footing we once occupied in the estimation of the world.— The wild and headlong spirit of speculation, and stock gambling has brought disgrace to our doors and stamped every thing de pending on our businesefidelity, with sus piciun and discredit. This taint of char acter has extended too far. It has reached the whole community, when in truth it ought to have been confined to those only, whose folly, imprudence, or dishonesty gave colour to the charge. The groat body of our citizens are free from debt, have never engaged in ruinous fancy stuck specula ' tionsoire abandantly able and willing to comply with all their obligations, to each other, and to the citizens of every other State or country. It it true our situation and habits of business have rendered us a debtor State, and subjected }ls to responsi bilities, which might easily have been avoided under a different system of policy. We purchase large amounts of nianufac tured goods of all kinds from the eastern States, to consume ourselves, and to sell to the citizens of the south and traith west.— We ate liable on the failure of our debtors to pay for the commodities we purchased, and sold to them, and we of course must play for those we use ourselves. We can only discharge these debts in cash, or by selling to our eastern manufacturers, our coal and iron in their raw state. This very iron, in a thousand shapes, we pur chase afterwards at an enormous advance for the labor bestowed on its manufacture, and thus become debtors for labor that we ought to perform ourselves. For leather, boots, shoes &c., cloths and other domes tic manufactures, we are daily Incurring immense debts to the citizens of other States, and are now, tn the'hour of our necessities, feeling the heavy hand of the creditor laid on all our resources. This ought not to be. It is unworthy the great State of Pennsylvania to depend on the manufactures of other states or of foreign countries, to supply her citizens with those articles for the various purpo ses of life, which, they can produce them selves as well, as cheaply, and as abundant ly as any other people on the face of the globe. Our valleys teeming with plenty, our bills with exhausiiesa .coal anJ iron deposits—our streams abounding with water power for all purposes, unsurpassed by that in any other country—and our citizens stimulated by enterprise and pos sessing means! to render it effectual, should awaken in us that Spirit of independence which disdains to seek at the bands of others that which it can furnish with its own. kis with no feelings of envy, or of local jealousy of others, that I bring this subject to your notice, but with an honest feeling. of Mate pride, and a generous emu- , lation, which should inspire us with a de termination not to he indebted to others, for those solid and useful means of promo- I flog our prosperity andindependenco which nature has bounteously lavished on our own citizens. The duty of encouraging manufacturing establishments to convert to useful purpo sea our coal ail a iron, and indeed to supply all our domestic wants, has become one of peculiarly imperative obligation. The commercial calamity under which we are' suffering, has been so much heightened by the circumstances to which I have just ad• vetted, and the inability of our citizens to perform all their contracts has been so greatly exaggerated by the interested and malicious in other Stales, that self-respect, as well as public spirit, calls upon us most emphatically to turn a kind and cherishing eye to their advancement. Every mea sure that can conduce to this end, will meet my most hearty :toncurrence. I think inquiries on thts subj:tca should be instituted. We want facts as the basis of legislative encouragement. Let them be deligently sought for, and when ascertain ed, let them be promptly applied to some useful purpose. It is high? time the Leg islature of Pennsylvania should remember that the interest of Pennsylvania are confi ded to their eel:T*l care. It is a source of pride and gratification to reflect, that but a small amount of the indebtedness to other States, which is now griping and annoying us, is for commodities disposed of. to our own citizens. Nearly every dollar of this domestic debt has been faith fully paid.. The sum now due, is for sales made to purchasers in the west and south west, for whom Pennsylvanians are in truth merely to be regarded as the guarantere. This circumstance is entirely overlooked by our detractors, who are attempting to hold the citizens of. Pennsylvania to a rigid accountability, as if she were the very pack-horse of the Union to bear more than her share of all its burthens and responsi bilities. This is unjust—we owe it to I ourselves to assume our true position. Permit me fellow citizens, in conclusion, to urge upon you a thorough and search• ing inquiry into all abuses of government and all expenditures of the public money, which are not clearly warranted by enlight ened prudence. The condition of the public treasury demands this at your hands, —and the people confidently trust, that those to whom they have confided the guardianship of their interests, will faith• fully perform the duty both of inquiring into, and correcting all the evils they find to exist. It will afford me great pleasure to co-operate with you, in the completion of this salutary work. We may meet fur a time with obstacles,—we will doubtless encounter _resistance on the part of those who are interested . in perpetuating either abuses or extravagance; but ultimately, we cannot fail to triumph over all difficul ties, and to carry into effectual practical operation the great principles of economy and reform,—the only true' and solid basis on which those who administer the affairs of republican governments, can rest their claims to popular confidence and support.

Out of Congress there is but little to in• serest your readers. Rumor says that Mr. Cloy, in the spirit of an enlarged patriot•' ism, will endeavour to save the Bankrupt Bill in the Senate, and 'rumor furtherr says also, that in ease the Bill to repeal the law should pass Congress, the President will use the veto measure. lie is understood here to be a fast friend of the law, but whether.to the extent of coming to the rescue in•this form is very questionable. It is,quite probable that Mr.. Clay may use his influence in the Senate to save the Bill, and if well exerted by all his friends and allot Mr. Tyler's friends—in a word by all those who gave the bill their support at the extra session, it may yet be saved.— In the case of one Senator and perhaps two, however, ins' ructions are feared, and this as the majority was then small, might lead to a consummation of the unexpected action of the House. • TIIE STATE DEET.-Mr. Stevens this week introduced a joint resolution, piovi ding so to alter • the Constitution that the State Debt of Pennsylvaniii,'llhalf , . never exceed forty million dollars- This, it oc• curs to U 9, Will be the means of checktog extravagant appropriation, and induce our financiers to inquire more thoroughly into the means! to liquidate the pre existing debt.—Hurrisburg Tele.

PROFFIT AND ARXOLD.--Scene Third.—These gentleman bad another passage of arms in the House of Represen tatives at Washington, on Wednesday, which is thus described by the coriespon. dent of the New York Herald. The whole affair smells of gunpowder, and is enough to turn the stomach of the disciples of 'prior old' Jack Falstaff. Mr.' Profit said he rose to a question personal in its character, on which he trus ted, he would be indulged by the House in makings few remarks'. He bad partici• paled in the unprofitable debate yesterday for a fevi minutes, but did not say one word calculated to wound the feelings of any one. That was the coutse he always endeavoured to pursue in debate, and when he transgressed it, he was willing and prompt to make reparation. Judge then of his astonishment, when, in taking up the Intelligencer of this morning, he saw that language grossly o ff ensive had been used, and that the gentleman from Tennessee (Mr Arnold) was even described as hav ing pointed towards him while referring to a certain western animal. [Roars of laughter.] He wished to know of the Speaker if he had heard these offensive remarks of the gentleman from Tennessee, and did not call him to order. ll' it web so, he' would from this' day forward come to the House prepared to take care of him self. Mr. Arnold_ said he was sorry that the noble gentleman from Indiana [M r. Proffit] should have taken fire at the few remarks he had made yesterday. He had for some time observed that gentleman very active * in springing up and calling him to ordei, whenever he offered to address the House, and he had administered the remarks re (erred to, by way of rebuke to the gentle , man. [Laughter.] Mr. Non had no doubt that the gentle man did make the remarks, and he had not risen to ask any explanation of him. He would only say that lie could nut condo- i seend to notice any thing the member from Tennessee had said, or weuldhereefter say; [much laughter, 1 but, if any one professing to be a gentleman, or any of those who ,• were now laughing, would use language towards him, even approaching to it in offensiveness, ho would promptly take the notice of it it deserved. [Renewed laugh ter.] 'the Speaker stated that he had not ob served the gesture of the gentleman from Tennessee, which was referred to by the gentleman from Indiana. Had he done so, ho would have promptly called him to or der. He had no right to consider the re marks ay intended for the gentleman from Indiana, or any other geutleman. Mr. Arnold said he returned thanks to the gentleman from Indiana fitr the übso lotion he had granted to him for his sins, past and prospective. [Laughter.] He Would relate an aneedote, in Mt/stratum of this matter. W hen' he was in the army, he waaunder thticainedand of a driniken gem aria. [Cries of order; orderl] .

[Great laughter.] REMOVALS, Yawl OFFICE.—NO part of of the late message of John Tyler has been the subject of more condemnation, than that which relates to removals from office. Under a cloak of sanctity, the most odious endeavors are being made to strengthen his adminotration, with a view to the re establishment of Virginia ascendency and his re election for a second term. With these views, lie hopes to form a distinctive third, Tyler party, and while he professes a wish to break down all political disting lions, is actually trenching himself behind his Executive power and using his patron age exclusively with a view topartizanship. The Washington correspondent of the N. Y. American says—Mr. Tyler grows daily more shameless in the avowal of his self ag grandizing purposes in the ur:e of his more than regal power. Applications recently made for the removal of the most obnox• ions and infamous office holding panders of Van Buren in an important Whig State, have been met by cool inquiries whether these LoCotoco incumbents may not now be friends of Mr. Tyler, and whether the new candidates will do any thing for him! Here is a President for Whigs to support —"taking the imitation in legislation," sending down his decrees for a royal par !lenient to segister and ratify merely, and exacting pledges of unquidified devotion to his personal interests from all iv ho claim from his hands the accomplishment of a vital purpose of the late supposed chahgo of the Administration-from the hands of the Locofocos to those of Whigs. What sacrifice of pride does it not 're• quire to accept from the hands of such a man, the . scanty measure of relief which his sovereign bounty may dole out to a suf fering nation! Locofoco officeholders, unchanged in feeling amid purpose, understanding the conditions of their safety, are sending in their pledges of adhesion from all quarters. What enemy so remorseless as to wish him a worse fate thnn to fall into the hands of such mercenary hypocrites?—appreciated as they are by every man in the Union but him, drunk with good fortune, mad with the unlooked-for possession of absolute power!—Hur.

GETTYSBURG' January 18• ISt*. • FOR PRESIDENT IN 1844, GENERAL WINFIELD SCOTT, Subject to the decision of a National Convention ,1-3. Our acknowledgments are due to Dr Fiore of the State Legislature, fur his favors. Governor's Message. The Message of Gluv. Porter, upon which we. had no apace for comment lost -week, is conclu ded to-day. There are pillions of this paper which aro worthy of the approval of ovary honest • eitizen'of the Stateosee refer taeuch as moot the odious, dishonest, and revolutionising doctrines which 'some would adopt in Pennsylvania, of repudiating oar liabilities. The Governor re.. marks, "the faith of the State is pledged, sod every consideration of duty and honor require us to know our true condition, and to provide ado. fivate means to meet our obligations, and to re deem. our plighted faith."'. Other States of this confederacy have spokeu their condemnation of this dangerous scheme, and we look to our Leg islature to publish in words not to be-misconstru ed, their determination to maintain the. faith of the Slate inviolate. - He thinks it prudent to emend upwards of one million tight hundred thousand dollars to finish the North Branch and Erie Extension, with as little delay as possible; and in the suceeeding eviction recommende the sale of two of the public improvements already finished—the , Columbia and Philadelphia Railroad and the Delaware divi sion of the Pennsylvania Canal. The former of which is the priuciple improvement In the :State, and yielded a large nett profit during the admin istration of Mr.' Ritner! There's e mystery about this movement. The deficit in the • repair fund, lie 'states, is unusually large, ..owing to the Delaware break," and probably a considerable electicineeriug fund ! ! Yet it is expedient in his judgment, to expend near two million, more an those Northern Canals, which can never be to the State of as much advantage es some of her finished works now are. In regard to the Banks, it will be seen, he re commends a repeal of the Relief law of last ses sion, and that six per cent. stock may be issued and sold for whatever . it may produce, to discharge the loan on which that law wee ,bared. The resumption of specie payments about the first of Juno, is recommended. Ka is opposed to all renewals of Charters, or grant, of new ones. What a holy, horror the Governor has of intros -441_ eponoilteepl, His remixes and conclu -'ircins,'brever, aro preefselytnose ornrirjetiotiee Mi. Wright, in his minority report to the last Legieletore. But his inference "shut they never effect any thing tangible," seems to be harlily sustained by the facts. Mr. Lightner certainly offactedsiimething '.langildc" in ,his exposition of the stupendous frauds which had been practis ed in the choke of contractors on' the public works, and plainly showed that they had been used to feed the mouths of hungry partizans. le 'takes occasion to volunteer a dame of his Veto reign, and most truly informs the Legis lature "that hc; hay never hesitated to exercise' that power." It was painful to every man who values our form of government, end knows the nature of the relation which exists beiween rep resentative and constituent, to witness the alarm ing extent to which this power teas exorcised toward the list Legbilaturo. Bin who is not startled at the gross abuse of it which has char acterized the P.xecutive acts of the present ses sion. Era one week had elapsed six Vetoes are before them for action—and these upon Bills • omit to be operated upon by local.eauses"! ! 'Does he °conscientiously believe' that to elect Notaries Public and Canal Commissioners by the people, "is wrong"? Then lie is to be the source of power, and the people impotent—the mere subjects of his will. This is his Democracy. The "reasons" which have been urged against .these tnessures can scarcely be pleausible. All power, we had thought, was inherent in the people—the Veto being intended as a conserve tive power never to be exercised except the interests of the State were in jeopardy. Carefully as it has been resorted to in former times, it has now become dangerous in the extreme, and the public weal demands that it should so be rnodi fied, that a check may always be in readiness to apply when it is exercised by a tyrannical and power-grasping ruler. We want no better touch-stone upon which to try and expose the ~,,fpuriouB Democracy of the Governor sod hie ~erteads, than (hair, votes and opinions on those ,vetoed Dille. Wo will publish the votes when they come to hand. Congress. In the Senate, the debate on the question whether the plan for a Fiscal Agent called for by the Senate shall or shall not he referred to a Committee, occupied the time of that body during the past week, until Thursday lost, when it was decided in the afilirrnative;,:aftcr which, in con sequence of the accumulation of business in the committee rooms the Senate adjourned over to Monday. In the Ilnuse of Reliresentutives, the Treasury Note Bill occupied the whole attention of . the House up to Friday lost, W . hen it finally passed by a vote of 129 to 88.

The Bill to issue Treasury Note!, teported some deye,eince, passed the House of ; Represen wirer; on Friday . lest . bre vote of 129 to 88.— This resuit was brought abOtit by • largo num ber of, the Whigs, perhaps a majOrity of IherO, voting with a majority'4 . the LocefocOe. .Heretofore, the Whig party. almost as one man, opposed this . measure. We are sorry thist they abandoned : the poeitiori .thich they hieve always ocetwied. it is rewrote': upon their consistency to hero done so'. • This method of supplying the wants of the Treasury has been heretofore denounced by our friends_ as most mischievous and dangerous. That it is an insidu ous means of creating a National debt cannot be doubted. Ii involves the people in all the em barrassments of debt, without their knowledge. -7 It relieves the wants of thegovernment without any regard to the interests of the •people. It encourages extravagance in the Administration; aed •at this particular juncture we regard it as exceedingly impolitic to have committed Congress in favor of such a measure. It will put the Administration in *situation in which it will be able to struggle along without any increase of duties on foreign merchandise. Thus, in autho rising this issue of Treasury notes, the Tariff has received a severe, perhaps fatal blow. .-How could Pennsylvania Whigs support this measure? How will they answer their constituents for hav ing dune lot It may he that they did not view it in this light; but acting ignorantly, though not as inexcusable on their part, is, as mischievous in its consequences as if they had so acted with malice aforethought. We hope that those of the Pennsylvania delegation who abandoned their principles end voted for this obnoxious measure will be able to account to their conscien ces and'constitnents for what they have done.— Our own representative, Mr. Cooexa, opposed this measure; and in so doing, no doubt, acted in accordance with the wishes of his constituents of both political parties. We shall publish his speech as 11001. as we receive it. Ar.exattnen Her, Esq. was elected Mayor of the city of Pittaburg, on Tuesday tut. Mr. Hay was the candidate of the Democratic Anti. Masonic party, and received a very handsome majority. ,We rejoice at this result. It is an evidence of what may be accomplished by our friends, if they but maintain the old, efficient political organization, under which so many glorious victories have been achieved, and under which alone we can reasonably expect, to main tain an Anti Locofoco ascendancy in Penn.yl• More Power. The Governor, as though determined to hold all power, not only refuses to gig. urthe people the appointment of Canal Commissioners and Notaries Public, but uriblushingl; asks that he may select the Jurors, through his 'Judges! Alas ! for that ""bulwark of liberty !" What pro. tection would remain to an American, if trial by jury should be converted into o trial by political peewit Tho people now select their Jurors, through their representatives—the ComMissionera end Sherilf,—ai.d shall it be said that they are incompetent to choose thette-their representatives?

HARUIIIRT;110, January 10, 1842, Dear Sir:—Mr. Ryan reported a bill on Sat urday lag for the abolition of capital punish ment. It is doubtful whether the bill will sc ceive the.olinction of the present legislature, but the day is not far distant when no law of Penn sylvania will require the puniabtrimit• of death for any crime. Mr. Stevens reported a bill to day fnr the better regulation of tavern licenses in the county of Adams. Mr. Wright, from the committee to whom was referred the proceedings of a meeting held in Philadelphia, on the subject of repudiating the state debt, made a long and elaborate report' in opposition to the views expressed by those who composed the meeting. Three thousand copies of the report how:been ordered to be printed in the English and two thousand in the German language. • , • , The greater part of the day was consumed in discussing the report of the Committee on rules: but very little alteration has been made in the rules of last session. A resolution supplying each member with a copy of PUTtion's Digest, to be paid out of the contingent fund, was passed by a small majority. Last session, it will be recollected, that the new members only were- supplied; but the spirit of reform that now prevails is, not satisfied with this. In the Senate, G. A. Sage (whig) was elected printer of the Bills on the second ballot. Mr. McLanahan made a report upon the subject of repudiation, adverse to the views entertained by those who composed the meeting held on that subject, in Philadelphia. Your's &c. P. 8. f had almost forgotten to mention, that Air. Gamble, the very democratic anti•bank mem ber from democratic Lycoming, presented a peti tion from citizens of the democratic county of Clinton, for the incorporation of one of those rotten, anti democratic monsters, vulgarly called banks, to be located in the town of lock Haven, in the county of Clinton, with - tt capital' of two hundred thousand dollars ! Horrible ! C. &vain, Esci.'—this distinguish ed Representative froth Schuylkill vitlly, opened the campaign in the House rimier jay, by parading upon his desk and 'railing a deflected mass of exceedingly Witty' and dignified bpi:hetet intended as an assault up on Mr. Stevens, leg cabins, coon sltins,&c , , which would have produced great amuse. meat it he had not taken the "blind slug gers," and fallen down. At the outset 'he was called to order 6y the Speaker. but was allowed to gu mint the request of Mr. Stevens- He however grew paler and pa ler, his teeth chattered, his eves closed and he dropped into his seat before be had completed his recitation. His political friends, very uncharitably proposed to have him reprimanded, but were prevented from it by the timely interfeience of Mi. S. that was bad treainieor, and bats a clinch with "the devil,"' if, his friends do not save him from the - sei?,iiiii of the "blind shiggeiS," we will be at his service. —llur.
