eislature of Pennsylvania had resolved to adjourn on inc 7th of April, and return to | their constituents. On the afternoon Of the | sixth is was agreed not to meetin the evening, | although there was some important private l business thatJ must lie over to the next year. 4 motion vras made and carried, however. to meet at fge miRates POst HsSdnight! not to do business, hut to adjourn. Thls was done for the purpose of drawing PAY for another day. To have adi0nfned five minutes before mid night would nof do, i've minutes after would put into the pockets of these men whom the people delight to honor.

The evening session being dispensed with. the members tnot all of ihsml collected in groups in the different inns. tavefhss Nc. drinking healths, wishing each other Te-eIections, and singing.
 "Here's health to jolly Bacchus, 10! 10! 10" The midnight bell rung, and five minutes after. the usual rap and exclamation was heard from the Speaker's chair
 "INe House sciN come to Order.''
 This was net to be expected. however, nOso it had rarely happened during the session. After waiting considerable time. it was found that counting was in vain. The clerk was : ordered to call the names of the members to ascertain whether a quorum was present in bOdy, for it was evident that the minds of some had been left behind at the taverns.- The two houses, besides the business of ad- journment had to wait for the governor to read over and sign number of bills that, during the preceding day, had passed. This occupied something like two hours, during which time the house was a scene of all sorts of fun.
 One honest old gentleman from the com mittee of vice and immortality had the day previous made report on the subject of in- temperance. It was then laid On the table. One gentleman from the tavern, who was so full of patriotism that he could scarcely walk without staggering under it's load, moved that 500 copies of the report be printed. The motion was seconded by one nearly or quite as patriotic. The honest old gentle man was chen called on to explain and defend the principles of his report. No sooner had he risen. Aan balls of paper were whizzing past his head from all quarters, and the old man after explaining {" for moment lodged to his seat amidst roar of laughter. which showed how great was the moral dignity of the representatives of the people. The speak CT was unpleasantly situated-he was obliged 10 put the senseless motions. A member from York made motion to reconsider the vote on tlse division of Miiflin county, in order to tease an old gentleman who had been in its favor. The old gentleman retOrted by read ing in hrs place the dolorous resolves of a York county meeting upon the loss of the 1 rail.roads The gentleman acted as speaker too, for at the end of every resolve he would sing out inh his humorous tone, sviN tke Hoasse agree to the Tesolution?' Aye! was the uni l yersal response, accompanied with paper balls atfths ed mans head. When the old man

The York man was completely put down, and thus ended the fun. Daring the whole time. the speaker often requested members not to leave their seats. as there were present but one or two more that uOrum.-Hmrisburg xat.

 It has been the object of the present adnnia- istration, a&O identify itself and its measures with the administration of Mr. Jefferson. It has been found necessary to resort to some
 measure of this kind, in order to sustain the
 fast-sinkiRg popularity of President Jackson.
 In order. therefore, that it might be under stood by the people at large, that all true JacksOnians were also true Jeffersonians, it
 was thought expedient, for the first time, to
 have dinner got up in honor of this distin-
 guished philosopher and statesman. His
 birth-day, which was yesterday. was the day 1 agreed on as the one most suitable tO pay
 honors to the memory 0f the deceased or
 rather, it was thought, by protesting on this day to pay suitable respect to his memory.
 the people would believe that all Jacksonians "were true republicans, dyed in the wool" But for fear that some old democrat who supported MT. Adams, might find his way to the table, a committee Of invitations was designated. This committee performed it's duty most rigidly. Messrs. Crownshield. Bell. FOote, Holmes. and others, who had been the pupils of Mir. Jefferson, were not invited; while Rowan, Hemphill, Erwin, Stansbury; and others. the supporters of John Adams. were made welcome guests.- Messrs. Tazewell and Tyler were invited, but not feeling inclined to bind themselves to Gen. Jackson's car. they declined the invi- tafion.
 The Pennsylvania Delegation, knowing the hostility of the committee appointed to make the tOasts, to the power of the General Government over the subject of internal im- provement and the tariff, were suspicious that sentiments might be offered in which they could not accord, and thought it would be |
