since the. ge of the Bank of the United
States in '1 36, by a most corrupt and foul
combination:;hark fellow citizens how these
Federal Le ' ators attempt to deceive you
when they c • teinplate a fraud upon the ro
ple. The b 1 which contained the charter of
the llank of he United States, was originally,
entitled "an •net to repeal the State taxes and
provide for a t continuation of the public im
provements." The one under consideration
was a bill to incorporate the Pennsylvania Ca
nal and Eaa d company, and provide a sink
brit fund; the payment of the State debt."
0,13
Mark the eeeption : the one was to repeal
the Slate t es, the other to provide a sinking
fund butth in reality calculated to - rob
11 .
the people a a entail perpetual taxation on
them:'Now Pow citizens, are you not curi
ous to know 'hat this meanie' for providing a
sinking fund to pay the State debt was ? We
will tell you. It Ras an act to take fromyou
the control tifyour whole line 4 of public un
provementu from Philadelphia to Pittsburg,
including the Columbia and Portage railways,
and to place them under the control of a cons
, pany for the Miserable pittance of between sev
-len and eigbtl millions of dollars at most.—
That is, the 4 1whole line was to be valued at
twenty millidna and form ai stock to that a
mount in shares of one hundred dollars each,
ten millions'which were to be sold to Indi
viduals and id for in State stocks in which
were then w rth not more than $7O on the
hundred. At • this rate the cost to the individ
-1 ual stockholders of the one', half, would • not
have exceeded seven millions of dollars. By
the provisionii of the bill the individual stock
holders were lo receive five per cent. on the a
mount of their stock before the State should
receive ny dividend whatever. After pay
ment of the e nses and five Per cent. to the
individual st holders, then the State was to
i fle
come in for er dividend on'tlie stock retained,
but it was p , vided that - in no event could she
receive more !than five per cent. ,If the profits
of the comp* y should ever exceed five per
cent bathe hole capital, then the surplus was
to go to the dividtuil stockholders, and this
comps
its authors ad the impudence to call an act
providing a" liking fund for the payment of
the State d lit.
But the contained other still more ex
traordinary provisions, which we cannot advert
to in detail, such as conferring on the compa
‘nypoiser to construct lateral railroads and ca
nals, find also authority to become transport
ers, and to *Wish lines of steamboatwon the .
Ohio river. • Now, bow did it happen that that
bill was defeated? It passed the Senate and was
sent to theons e - of Representatives, on the
'loth of r ' i i.. On the 18th of March, being
Saturday, d the day of final adjournment be
ing fixed for Tuesday the 16th, the House pro-
I ceeded to t
La
e consideration of the bill in the
afternoon, d the Federal members attempted
to force it t ohgh the House without debate
or amendment under the previous question,
which they were only prevented from doing by
,
the energy and determination of the minority,
who, finding that the majority was determined
,i
to perpetrate an act which would rob the peo
ile of their property and inflict an irreparrable
njury upon the CoMmonwealth, resorted to all
the rights, and privlleges which the rules of the
Howie afforded theta, and thereby prevented
final action until the hour of adjournment ar
rive& On Monday, other business intervened
and the bill icould not be taken up out of girder
without two4hirdi: agreeing, and on Tuesday
the Legislature 'adrned. Thus was the con
summation of Ibis outrage Upon the interestitof
the people prevented, and for which the Dem
mug° members Were denounced as iieters
and blackguard s by a leading Federal pa of
gib Place. '
Tills eel yeas we feel assured that the pub
lic works netti a m il lion of dollars, and
what their lee rimy be twenty Eve years
hence, with 't
vil e

sourees of country , no man can now tell.

By t i
he arrifid of the steamer Alabama, the
Picay ne has filirect advises from the city of
Mexico to the :looming of the 29th ult., and
Puebla to the 30th. Gen: Scott still remained
at Puebla, awiliting the reinforcements on the
road under 04nerals Cadwilader and Pillow.
Thei news from the capital was indefinite.
Gen. Scott states that he had informed the
Mexican Gove t i:nment that Mr. Trist was with
him, aid authorized to enter into negotiations
of peace. Smits Anna had vainly endeavored
to procure aprom of the members of Con
gress to consi.,br Gen. Scott's communication.
It is supposed' that Gen: Scott will have to
march into Maim) to secure peace. The CUD
sorshio of theloess prevents the knowledge of
what . nteasureitof defence are contemplated.—
Santa Anna Was to leave in three days from',

It imstated that every avenue to the city id
fortified, but the success of the Americans isratil
not dotibted. ;Gen. Pillow, it is said, had bees
compelled , to c ontest the road with guerrilhil
partremuntil be,yond Cerro Gordo. They took I
advantage of very defile to arrest his progress.
His loso is saia to have been severe. .-

Puebla; with drawings of the different fortifi

condemned toe, but escaped .;
The 41exietTs used every means to induce
our men to desert and then used them shame—
fully. .A party of eight Americans, not con- '
nected with the army, left Puebla for a haci
endo on the road to Mexico, to purchase mules.
and encountered a party of lancers, and not
being able to escape, were forced to fight them.
All the Americans were wounded, and it is
supposed one ,Was killed. Five are believed
to have been taken prisoners.
A letter frod Mexico to the American Star.
says the American prisoners were at liberty,
and no ono troubles them. The writer sees
Maj. Gaines (tally. The decree ordering the
Americans away, bad not been extended to

LATE *ROA THE PACIFIC.
The- NearF,'York Commercial Advertiser
has files of Oregon and Saildtvich Island pa
pers by a lati arrival at Boston. The Oregon
City Spectator contains a full account of the
doings in Oregon—the proceedings of the Les-
Wet*, and .he Governor's tnessage.
The Legislature convened ton the Ist of De
cember, and organized by tha election of A. L.
Lovejoy, as speaker.
ThO proje/t for a -railroad to the Pacific
seems to eaco43 some interest in Oregon. The
Spectator lutes the Legislature 'to take some
actionmportfll,m premises, by memorial to Con
gross, or approving _resolutions. Itsuggests
also that Co%gress be asked for a steam tug to
operate at the month of the Columbia.
The Specrotor calls loudly for the establish

"Printing Attseccation," had resolved to print
2000 Copies pi. Webster's Spelling Book.

If the history 'tortilla
one lesson more! forcibly thr another 4 it is
this : that . the recteralpartytare INOAV;ADLE
efadniinigeri4 tsrivernilient. ,At three
1 different periods! ni ce the foundation of the
t
Constitution, they , tie Seised: the whole!pois
er of the goveniment, and on each of those oc
casions they have been - driven from office cos
' ered with shame,' 'nd ridicule.: . The meatuses
of the elder ADA3I lu now scarcely any; Open
defenders: The ,a inistratioit of his son was
the fruit of a gross fraud ttpon the peopk, ;Which
earned it universal detestation before iticom
meneement. Its lights-home in the ski, and
the splendid abortion of the Panama- mitsinn,
made all the world laugh at Federal i . olly ;
while , the PresideOt's recommendation to the
members of Congss not to be, ,"'palshid by the
will of their consti c ents," exposed it
f to sim
ple contempt — a le ntempt aggravated acid iii
creased by the ktiern fact, that the same Presi
dent was writingytters to the . Anti - masonic
demagogues in estern New York, to gain
their votes, and his Secretary was traversing
the country, and making dinner orations to,
I allay the public indignation. General Harrison
ibrought Federalism in on a swell of popular
I excitement. Like - the ilourbOne, they bad
learned nothing, and forgot nothing during
their exile from off i ce. All the exploded'hum
bugs and obsoletel ideas of the previous half
1 century, were gathered together, vamped up
with the new, and the best effort of Federal
ism was made to. force 'them on the eabintry.
.But the effort to eitrry these meashres ekbaus
ted their whole espacityit, , rived the party
into frag.inents-tbe administration burst up
and ended in a grdat •brawl,-C - onsisting in mu
tual abuse of one Federalist by another. . Their
leader knowing tliat they were- incapiybk of
carrying on the gvernment, cunningly placed
the party in the attitude of 'opposition; where
It would have nothing to do but to find fault
and prophesy rutin.; a business in which to be
I I unanimous was 'fr's easy as. lying." '
We wish our rehders to mark carefully one
i "
fact,—that every •ederal administration has
been a most ridic tous and contemptible fail
ure. Every Fede I Congress has been zhang
ed into a Democratic One as soon as the. first
election came round. Every Federal Crciver
nor- of Pennsylvania, like the Presidenti of the
'smile party, has :er6ed but .a single term.—
Every Federal S ate Legislature, has . lasted
just one year,_anu no longer : On every oc
casicin when Federalism has been weighed, it
has been found ' ranting. Whenever. "it 11. s
been entrusted wil' power, it has.abused it.-4.
its leaders have urtiversally been driven froM
"tee, with the bquid of " THE INCAP.4.IiLES '
seared and burt u on their -foreheads. :
Ahd this parts which has shoWn itself so
egreziously defici it in administrative capacity,,,
is the same which claims to haVe " all the tal
ents," as Well as c all the decency!" tVe ad
mit that,there ar3 talented as well as' decenL
men among them. Mr. Webster has eloquence
of the highest order ; Mr. Clay has tact and
ingenuity; Mr. C ittenden Ms a fair share of
plausible sophis y ; Mr., Claytop ii'a bold
demagogue ; and hundredi of other Federal- . '
ists are highly res ectable for information and
ability. Besides, they hare in every part of
the country bond eds. of not very_ scrupulous
supports, ineludin r a considerable majority of
those who control the press: They possess a
still more potent Clement of power in the hear-
and honest fa{th which, thouswls . of mi..:

Why then is Federalism always "in the
,1
voeative,". when - the opportunity is4urnislied ',
to it, of trying its.inen and its principles on pub- .'
' lic affairs ? 11hj , is it that this is se emplit-,1
ically the party of " The Ineapables?" The::
a.eswer i.s, plain arid easy enough. Federalism
is a combination of special interests. John
Quincy Adams described it as " a base corn- •
' pound, bound tigether by no tie but that
jof a common hatred for better men than,
,themselves." 'Al i en who desire to use the got-
i,
eminent for th+ own purposes join the Fed-
eralists, because fl)emocrats hate no affinity
with such people! Federalism takes 'them all;

shouts " law anti order" in Ilhodci. Island,'
when the right of* suffrage is to be stifled;, and

It is the war -party in peace and the peace- :
