vRGrNIA-We learn from the Richmond Wing
that. a Joint resolution offered in the House Of
Assembly on "Wednesday, by Col. Watkins, that the
Legislature proceed to the election of U. s. sena-
tor today Saturday, "A long and cratic debate
arose. Mr.. Peyton offered an amendment, fixing
the third Saturday Of February as the day, which
was adopted. This was afterwards reconsidered,
and the 9th of February was designated as the day
for the election. The Wing intimates that this re-
solution may be modified by the Senate so as 10 o,ing
on the election at an earlier day, which would De
preferable.
The Wing says,
alt seems now to be generally understood that the
Van Buren, party have determined to run Judge Henry
ST. George Tucker President Of the Court Of Appeals,
as their candidate for U. S. Senator They claim to
have polIed 81 votes for him. They are canvassng for
three more, the number necessary to elect, II both
Houses be full"
A correspondent of the same paper says that
Judge Tucker voted for the incorporation of Ma
tiona Bank, by Congress- in 1916!

PENNSYLVANIA,

Gov. PORTER was inaugurated at Harrisburg on
the 18th inst.
MIR. francis R. SKUNK has been appointed Secre-
tary of the Commonwealth.
Mr.. Own F. JOHNSTON, is made Attorney General.
correspondent Of the Integ encer says that, on
the return of the procession which accompanied the
Governor to the State House, an immense broom,
about the size of an ae-frkn, was carried imme-
diatey behind the Governor, by way of instruction
to him to sweep the offices of the Government"
The Globe alludes TO the Governors address as
"Gov. PoRrER's admirable inaugural"
Our worthy cotemporary the National Intelli-
gencer, also says oft
"We have read it through with the greatest in
teres; and we will not withhold the expression OF
the qualification, mingled with some surprise which
the perusa Of it has produced in our minds graft
fcation at the frank and manly avowal of genuine
National Republican sentiments which we find in
it, and surprise at receiving such an avowal from
source from which we were not prepared 10 expect
it,"
Our own opinion is that the Inaugural is highly
respectable State paper 1t is rather more Conserua-
tire than Loco Foco; but much of the character OF
Gov. Marcy's message of last year, IN which he so
"defned his position" as to be able to explain it TO
the satisfaction of both classes Of his political
friends. ...
Upon the subject OF the Sub Treasury Gov. Porter
is peculiarly happy. His views must be acceptable
to all three parties, unless the Loco Focos should
object that he is not sufficiently explicit He says
"There is in my judgment manifest Improperly
in enkangling connections between the Government
and the banking trading institutions OF the coun-
try and shall at all times be ready 10 cooperate
in any measure which shall separate the Govern
ment from banking institutions as 10 eare each 70 the
pursuu and exercise of their legitimate ends icttho1
mfr arih those OF The other" ..
He defines some Republican principles very cor
rectly in the following but winds up with severe
piece of irony, viz:
"a strict construction of the Constitution OF the
United States; reluctance to yield to the General
Government any powers except those expressly
granted, or which follow by direct and necessary
Implication from those SO granted; rigid system
of economy in public expenditures; the definition
and Limitation BY law, as far as practicable, OF the
duties of public unctionaries and strict system Oh
accountability in public servants, are doctrines, IN
support of which She has ever raised her voice
Believing these be correct views, It will AFFORD me
pleasure so far as the subject shall fall within The
province of the Executive, 10 give them enect ana
mat pleasure sciH be enhanced in finding that am
therein cooperating miM and sustaining ne admmlS-
tration of the General Government IN TIC able and en-
Gent hands in 1chich 10 is nolc placed"

the premises, we believe ourselves, and

holders, that we possess ample resources,
within the bounds of the scriptures, the
constitution and the laws, if we can be al

to bring the whole system of slavery, with
all its odious Accomplishments, to speedy
and PEACEFUL TERMINATION.
Mr. Clay has dwelt, also. on suppos-
ed difference in the situation of the sever
al parties concerned, sufficient to neutral
ize the legitimate influence of British
emancipation upon the minds of the A
merican people. With regard to this
difference, we offer for Mr.. Clay's consid

tleman of intelligence and moral worth
who was himself intimately conversan
with the movements of the British nation
during the great emancipation Struggle

One pound of silk may be got from

Mr.. Smith has confidence that if the eggs

any artificial means they may be Matched

Preserving Mulberry trees through rin

are deferred from purchasing trees IN The
fall, when they can be bough, from 20 to

through fear that they NAV not be able 10
preserve them until the planting season. -
Keeping the Morus Multicauhs through the
winter, with safety and with trlfing ex.

be kept IN cellar, with dry earth about
their roots or they may be laid down hori.

Both these modes are perfectly safe, end

prefer another method, which is as follows
Dig PIT IN the ground two or three feet

tic the trees loosely in bundles of fifty or
one hundred each, and place them in the
pit, roots downward, near together, iill the
space between the bundles with earth, so
as nearly 10 cover the tops Of them. We
prefer this method because il is less labor
than the others, and equally safe. 1t

vanced into Syria, and in the course Of an

of that province and opened the way 10
CohstantinopIe. The Turkish government
was now alarmed. Ii called on Great Bri.
tain for aid, but was refused. The Rus.
SLAMS we're ready 10 assist, but The Turks
feared the results of such an alliance. A
dreadful engagement took place in Asia
Minor, between the forces Of the Sultan aud
those of lbrahim, in which the latter were
victorious. Russian aid was then accep-
ted, and an immense Russian force was
brought into the Turkish dominions. AZ.
ter various measures Of diplomacy, the Sui.
tan yielded assent 10 treaty which gave
lbrahim the whole Of Syria. The issue of
the efforts Of Russia resulted 10 the lorna.
ton Of treaty Of mutual protection be.
tween Russia and Turkey, which was con.
cluded on the 9Th July, 1923. This treaty
which is called The treaty OF Uskar Skeles.

That he should undertake such journey
