 IHe MsssgRe.-TO the exclusion of course If much other rn'terr we gre this day enabled to give the Mes snge oi inc President 10 our readers As this is one of the long tocrHcn's which is usually rend bv all classes of people, need not express an opinion us to its merits. Each one will judge for himself But all will be impressed with the suhdued tone ma nifest :hroughn compared wifi the documents of like naure which have emanated from the Executives fur eight or ten years past. Then, "fhc pariy were prosper- ous, a',d believed themselves invinchie; now, the half box has told in voice of thunder that even the Presidents own State, anongs; many others, has turn ed her back upon him. and given him such rebukc as he will long remember. . .s5....l.,
 Anoiher Sub Treasurer ,riM legs! LONG legs !- The whole city of New York was on "Wednesday of last week thrown into consrcrnation by the sudden departure fir England on board the steamship Liver rool of WM. M, PRICE, Esq, District Attorney for the Southern District of New York His departure was so sudden that of his friends knew he was going un'ii he had taken his departure and 1t is sa that ;he first intimatOn his family had was leuer from the Hook. Conjecture is bnsy-and suspicion strong tha, he will prove Gefaultcr 10 the Govern ment to large amount. Indeed, it is surmised that he has long known, if not been privy to- swnrtwous defalcations. He an "eUerlost;ag great dsno- crns"one of the leaders and most popular disclaimers in Tammany IIall--would spout "democracy,'- ruffle shrted and silk-stockinged whigs,"-"bank bought" &cc &c., equal to Slam, Bang, or Ming, or even Beers, Woodruff or Abernethy. Whenever old Tammany became dull, and music was wanted, the cry was Price, Price, Price" and he was ready with all sorts of demagoguery upon his tongue Alas, poor Yorick!" H
 ANARCHY IN PENNsYLvANrA.-Th Philadelphia pa- pers of Thursday give accounts of most deplnrahe state of things in the Pennsylvania capilal Harris bureh. Loco Focosm has been fairly displayed there
 in all its hideous deformity in the very legislative halls of the State. The worst days of France are about being realized in this country, if these things are to % on thus. The Iocos have taken possession ." e House O ReRrssentn.iyes and given certificates thus inc State has two Houses of Representative, each claiming to be the legal body, and each has it's Speaker Clerks, &c The account is too long for us
 o give all the particulars at this late haur The above
 is the substance of the state of things in the House of Representatives. In the Senate, the sents of certain members were contested in the most hoisterous man. ncr One of the members appealed to the mob in the Office clerks, &c., from Phlodeiphid' who answer. ed by loud hu2zas, &c.! another loco called the o State ha ana this n the as his constituents! Other like scenes of violence also occurred, and at the ns. moment it was unknown where the business would end Even bloodshed was apprehended-N Hauen P0ilad. s$ SF
 LATER.-Accounts from Harrisburgh to Satur- day last represent matters as still in horrible state there. The rufianly mob had possession of tho State House and Court House, whenever they chose, and threatened to take possession of the Arsenal In fact, mob law reiened supreme in that city. The Senators while in session in the state house, were o hged n make their escape through the windows to avoid the threatened outrages of the leaders of the mob. The Governor had issued proclamation cal. ling upon the militia to quell the nsurrecton but in many instances commandants of companies had sent him word that as their companies were composed of both political parties, thoy could not comply with his request He then sent on 10 Maj. Gen. Patterson, of Philadelphia, who had ordered two brgades to pro ceed immediately to Harrisburgh. Some of them have started, and on their arrival at the seat of Go vernmcnt, the instruction would probably be either immediately queled, or bloodshed would ensue--as the troops were ordered to be provided with sufii. cent number of buck-shot as well as ball cartridges If we had room we should be glad to give further de. tails and particulars. A most fearful sfntc of things exists iberc, and apprehcnsive that the crisis has not yet arrived. The Wings seem determined to maintain ,be supremacy of law and order while the Locos ns yet manifest determination that the Legis.
 ature shall not proceed with its business until their friends who claim seats shall be enabled to take for. cible possession of them And here the matter now rests Next week we shall probably give further par. ticulars.
