This and for other purposes" takes out of
the pockets of the people some TWELVE

FROM HARRISBURG.
FEBRUARY 29, 49,


Iu Senate, large number of petitions We're
presented that the banks may be allowed 10 is
sue small notes.
the Bank bill then came up for final passage.
Mr.. Rrown moved that the Senate 90 into
committee of the whole, for the purpose Of
amending the second section of the bill by
substitute, not materially varying It's objects On
this motion there was some debate, In which
Messrs. Williams, Penrose, Brown and Fraley
took part, when Mr. Williams moved an amend
ment, that the Senate go into committee Of the
whole for general amendment. This was neg
atived 8 to l3, and Mr.. Browns motion car
rled by the same vote. The amendment was
then made in committee of the whole, when the
bill came up for.fnal passage.
Mr.. Strohm took the floor in opposition to the
bill. He spoke at length against it, He said
it was an hermaphrodiIe bill Intellectual to Its
object--but bill so formed that those who de-
sired its passage for party reasons, must vote
against it, and those who feared its passage
must vote for it. Should the bill be effectual 1t
would dring ruin on the Commonw ealth He
named counties which would be insolvent He
said there had been presented in Senatel40 pc
titions against too early resumption of specie
payments He concluded by moving that the
SENATE 90 AGAIN resolve lISeH llLO COtlIillllteo
of the whole far the purpose of Introducing
substitute, which he read. The substitute al
lowed the banks to issue small notes for the
space of two years, payable on demand IN spe-
Gle, under pain of forfeiture.
MrBell said he might be in favor of such a
proposition under other circumstances, but he
had solemny come to the conclusion to TO help
the dominant party in the Senate carry out such
measures as they saw fit to propose. The res
possibility would rest upon them, and he would
not assume any, by thwarting their object.
Mr. Brown did not believe the proposition
would afford any relief. The motion was then
negatived, yeas 6, nays %. Mr.. Spackman
spoke at length against the bill in most elo-
quent appeal to the judgment of the Sena'e-
He was followed by Mr.. Penro,e, who occupl-

ability and in his best style of argument, when
the vote was taken and the bill finally passed.

In the House the Bank bill was also under
discussion. Mr.. Hopkins offered an amend

not require payment of all obligations at once.
After long debate this amendment was mega

Mr. Brodhead then offered an amendment,
that in case of a demand by a non-spedie pay

II We are informed, by friend, that DR.. Thos.
Grafton, on Sunday last, on his way to visit one
of his patients, was thrown from his sulkey and
narrowly escaped with his life, and not without
some severe bruises on his head and different parts
of the body. 1t was occasioned by the springing
of horse with his rider against the wheel of the
vehicle. A dog of the smaller order issued from
the house opposite which they were, and bit the
horse in the heel. A greater nuisance can't well
exist, than dogs of this character-the man that
keeps one of them to jeopardize the lives of his
neighbors or travellers on horseback ought to have
his caret tapped, by their teeth, two three times
a day, about the heel. We have been annoyed
ourselves by them, and those who have favorites
of this grade if highly valued had better keep them
in a safer place than under our horses heels.

SMALL NoTEs-During the past week,
large number of petitions have been presented
before the Legislature, seking for a law to per-
init the Banks tn issue one two and three
dollar notes. Of these petitions a number
were sent from Easton, and, as we have been
informed, under the following circumstances.
the petitions were got up here by some of the
prominent members of the loco foco party, and
SO anxious did they appear to have the Leg
lslature grant their prayers, that for fear Of
losing their influence they would not allow a
whig to sign but sent some of their own men
through the town for the purpose of having
their papers filled with the names and hand
writings of " the faithful" These are the same
men who when we had good currency, and
the times were prosperous cried out most lust
tly to have all notes under ten or twenty
dollars banishcd from circulation and would
listen to nothing but the fallacious promises of
the Administration, of gold and silver curren-
cy. Now, though the assurances their party
leaders gave them, have resulted exactly as
the Wing Stauesman and Editors foretold, in
an almost total stagnation of enterprise, de-
struction Of Commerce, ruin of Manufactures,
and state bordering on misery for large por-
tion Of the mechanics and day laborers Now,
though they are compelled to ask for law au-
thorizinng that which they most repudiated and

have small notes, all will again be right, and the
country will once more become prosperous
But their anticipations are vain, and as sure a:
they rest on them they will be second time
most wofully deceived. Small notes, indeed
would be an accommodation to the community
in the shape of change---but the evil lies deep

ones, who have been watching the course of the
administration party, in regard to the banks there
fole we make the enquiry. Can any one tell ex-
actly the doctrine, the friends of Gen. David R.
Porter advocate, in relation to the Banks? We
are accustomed to hear much boasting about "con-
sistency and fixed principles" from that party; and
before the last election it was settled with tlssma
q grand maxim, that every "little monster" who
refused to shsl out the shiners,' shonld be ami
hilated, and the charter of the U. S. Bank was to
be repealed. Now so far as we can collect facts
on the subject their "fixed principles are about
changeable as air, and their consistency MOTH
ing but inconsistency. Now after all, these sapi-
ent lawgivers are in quandary how to make the
"little sarpents" pony up, and show by their imbe
city and indecsion. that they are wholly unfit for
the crisis to which state is brought or rather to
which they have brought it. Such will be the
state of affairs till the people rise in their majesty
and shake off the shackles of party and bid such
men stay at home have other qualifications for
the sacred trust of Legslating for free people, but
their boistrous professions of attachment to the
regular democratic party; by which they mean, su-
preme attachmen: TO their own interests
We have no hesitation TO charge the present EN-
barrassment of our state, to the weak policy of
such weak men. To whom is it chargabe, that
THIRTY-F FouR MILLIONS OF DOLLARS, or a great pro-
portion of it at least, have been expended in public
improvements in such a manner as not to paw the
interest of the money expended for their compile
ton! We answer it is to the policy of such rabid
Agrarians as are hanging on to the Bank bill
in our Legislature They are loath TO Dive their
III. --.A---- Monster and all the
Sarpents," lest the " dear people" should think,
that they were inconsistent" Out upon such
consistency, when men see they are on the wrong
track had thev not best wheel about" or turn
about" ike David R., for they might see well as
he if they were half drunk that the rabid Agrarian
policy of the party would not do, and that pushing
the Banks too hard would not better the matter,
we are happy to see that, he had independence e.
pouCh once, to recommend Legislation for the pep
pie in contra distinction from party; even if it is
true that he WIS ''little how come you so" as is
rmed by some of his riedns, if that was the fact
the good crlter" has different effect on him from
most men, for it commonly drives wit out instead
of in, his case certainly forms exception, and
would be fine thing if special appropriation was
made for o be ioyful' for the benefit of his ex-
cellency and some members ofthe house, possibly
they might once or twice during the session stag
ger into measure that would benefit the country
The highest praise is due the Governor for his
course thus far and also to those Of his particular
friends who have pursued his recommendations.
