DIVORCEI3.—It is a humiliating oo less than an abiriiing fact, that more divorce bills have been paOsed by our Legislature at its late ses sion, than at any preVions one for years. Hoir they will fare with our sturdy old Governor, is not at all problematical. He has already giv en his views relative to ouch taatters, and ev ery body knows that when "Frank Shank" takes a position, not all.tbe Legislatures in the world can budge him a hair's breadth. It is rather a sorry compliment to Pennsylvania, it must be oonfessed; that a largo number. of these applications came from citizens of other States, (ebkfly iron) New York,) who, failing to get their wishes gratified at home, have ta ken up a temporary abode in this state for that purpose.' The fact- that our Legislature has given countenance to such cases, has acquired for it the not very distinguished soubriquet of being the " sluice ;gate for the filthy, dirty work of neighboring States." This interfering so frequently and so indifferently with the mar riage contract, is in truth,. dangerous business, calculated to impair its sacredness, and degen erate community to an alarming extent. There are no doubt cases where it is right and proper, but we can hardly consider so many proper cases as our Legislatures for a few years past have discovered, or sanctioned if they have not discovered.

ASHLAND, April 10, 1848. The various .nd conflicting reports which have been in .irculation as to my intentions with respect to the next Presidency, appears to me to furnish a proper occasion for a full, frank aad explicit exposition of my feelings, wishes and views upon that subject. This it is now my purpose to make. With a strong disincli nation ito the DSC of,my name again in connec tion with that ffice,. lileft my residence in De cember last, u der determination to announce to the public, m some suitable form, my desire not to be thought of as , a candidate. In my ab sence,l frequently expressed to different gentle men my unwillingness to be again in that atti tude; but though no-one was authorized to pub lish my decisiork one way or the other, having re servedtthe right to do so exclusively myself. On reflection, I thought it was due to my friends to conult with them befote I took a de cisive step. Accordingly, within the course of the last three Months, I have had an opportu nity of converging fully and freely with them, many of them having addressed to me the strongest appdals and the most earnest entrea ties, both verbally and written, to dissuade me from executing my intended purpose. They represOnted tome that the withdrawal of my name Would be fatal to their suceawsailfors.- haps lead to the dissolution of the party with which ‘1 have been associated, particularly in the free Stated; that. at n 9 former period did 'there exist so great a probability of my. elec- ' tion, if I wotild consent to the use of my name —that the great States of New York and Ohio would,; in all oobability, vast their vote for me ; that New York would more certainly be stow her suffrage upon me than any other can 'date, that Ohio would give her vote to no can didate residing in the slave states, but to me; that there is al better prospect than has here-1 tofere at any time existed; that Pennstania I would unite with them; that , no candidate can ; be elected without the" concurrence of two ofj these three States ; and none could' be decided! upon en whoni all of them could be united ; that great nurnbers of our fellow citizens, both of-native and foreign birth, who Were deceived, i and therefore voted against me at the last' e- I lection, are now eager for an opportunity of be stowing their Suffrages upon met; and whilst there is a strung and ; decided preference for I me, entertained by the great body.*of the Whig party throughout the - United States, they, the 1 friends to whont I refer, at the same time are convinced that lam more available than any I ' candidate that could be presented for the A merican people. Ido not pretend to vouch for the_accuracy ~if all these representations, al though I do net entertain a doubt that they have been honestly made, and are sincerely he , lievedi It hi*been, moreover, urged to me that the gresdobligation umfer which I - have been hitherto' placed by a large portion of the people of-the L jnited States, the i fall force of which no one can be more sensible of than I am, demand that I should not withhold the use of my name, if it should be required, and 1 have been reminded of frequent: declarations which!! have..Maile, that whilst life and health 'remain, a man is bound to render' his best ser ,vices Upon the call of his cOuntrY. Since myturn home, I havemnxiously de liberated upo my duty to myself, to my prin -1 , ciples,' to my 'ends, and, above all, to my country. Th conflict between my unaffected desire ;to con ue in private life, as most con genial Ito my . lings and condition, and my wish faithfully to perform all my iiublic duties,, has been pailil and embarrassing. If I re ' fuse the use o my name, and those injurious consequenceshould ensue tibias:have been so confidently p dieted by my friends ,. . I should justly incur t it repktaehes, and the reproach es of my own Bart; and if, on the contrary, I should assent to the use of my name, what ever the result may be, I shall escape both ; I have therefore finally decided' to leave to the national cony tion, Which is to assemble next i i, June, the'con ideration of my name in connec tion wth such others.as may, be 'presented to it, to l akes s ele ction of ,a stutabletandidate.for the' I:!residen y of the United :' States • and whate er may be the issue of it; its fair and ' full delibe don w I meet with my ' prompt and rtta such .chee ol min Inconel. 1 It 1011 be ' n from What I hate stated that there frras nto anticipate that I would de -1 cline giving consent to the use of my name again jas a didate for the Presidency of the UnitedS • Owing. perhaps .to this as well u other tusesorutny ofmy, friends and fellow citizen .have avowed their preferences for, aid direr their attention tp the &din pis* nam of other akin* of the United State*.
