THAT BEAR WON'T GRowL Gen. Jack
son, it is said, roared like a mad Buffalo,
and tried to stop the steamboat, when he
found he was to be taken to New Orleans,
on the pretence of laying the corner stohe
to Battle Monument, but in reality, to be
stirred up for tho benefit of the Van Bu-
rem party. "That bear won't growl," said
the hero of three wars and forty trays.

The public faifh.-The Philadelphia Senti-
mel has the following sound paragraph on the
subject of the delay on the part Of the Pennsyl-
yania Legislature to make provision for main
tanning the credit Of the State.
How long are the people Of this state and
the creditors of the State to be trifed with?
How long will the State Legislature be in
resolving the question whether we shall be
honest enough to pay our debts at home and
abroad? There is not business man in
the commonwealth who would not be totally
and eternally ruined in credit if he exhibited the
miserable shutting and staving of now going on
al Harrisburg. Is the legislature afraid to tax
us does il dread the odium of the measure
Why, the people themselves, in every part Of
the State, ashamed of the imbecility and no pro-
gress of things at the Capitol, and mortified at
the humbled and degraded condition of our ere
dit, are crying out for the imposition OF tax
they are asking it a favor. The like was
never known. A great people imploring as
boon the privilege Of putting their hands in their
pockets, and paying the State debts; while their
representatives sit week after week postponlng
the day of reckoning by contrving another loan
from the crippled banks. Would that the right
thing were done and done quickly.
Since writing the above our Harrisburg let
tiers informs us that the House have passed the
appropriation bill requiring the United States
bank to make a loan Of two millions and half
on pain Of FORGETTING its charter. This measure
prevailed by the votes OF gentlemen who have
ever pronounced that institution bankrupt, and
its issues worthless rags The hopefulness Of
this act we shall consider hereafter
The Madisonian. [volume] (Washington City [i.e. Washington, D.C.]) 1837-1845, 1840-06-04

Resolved, That the course pursued by 9ome
az the representativos 10 fhe Legislature, - not
that which should heye choEacte<1sed the idg1ers
~ the democratic porty They professed one
thing. and practised another-they have lost
our Confidence, and are not entitled 10 our sup
port. "a
Resolved, That .the Proclamation Of the
Governor, commanding the representatives. OF
free people. 10 fulfil bis mandate, y the Effort
and nroduction OF a chief magistrate, determined
10 rule ana govern at all hazards-written in
tone OF insoIence, and more becoming .. D.cfd.
ton, clothed with supreme power, than the head
and organ Of democratic people, chosen by the
suffrages of freemen.
Resolved. That this act alone separate from
his messages, contradictory in themselves, is
sufficient evidence that he has mistaken the pro
per policy to be pursued, and that ne stands IN
false position not only with the people, but the
representatives of the people. s
Resolved. That as the Legislative representa-
tyes would not obey his arbitrary and imperous
mandate, il is sufficient evidence that they
themselves have lost all confidence in him as
chief magistrate Of the State-the immediate
dispersion of the members Of the Legislature, on
the morning Of the 18th inst, is living proof and
occuar testimony not only Of the dictdforial and
arbitrary character Of the man, but also Of his
incapacity TO administer the affairs Of the State.
Resolved, That the reneWal Vi the Ddhk chdI-
tiers at the late session, when the anti Bank par
" had majority in both Houses, is not only
flying in the face Of the people but gross viola
ton Of the duty the representatives owed to their
constituents, 1t is an open and utter abandon
ment Of the very principles they protested, and
the principle and ground on which they were
elected by the people.
Resolved, That we will not support men for
Office who profess one thing and practice an
other.
Resolved, That we have every reason 10
prosecute our course, and that the evidences
daily furnished BY new accessions to our ranks,
is a sufficient guarantee, that we have taken cor,
rect views, and that our efforts will be crowned
with success.
Resolved That the proceedings Of this meet
ing be published in the Mifflin County Gazette,
the Harrisburg and all other papers friendly our
cause
Resolved, That the thanks Of this meeting be
rendered to f. c. Merkelin, publisher Of the
Mitfiin County Gazette, for Offering us the free
use of his paper.
Resolved That when this meeting adjourn,
it adjourn to meet again on the I'd Tuesday Of
June next, at the house Of Jesse Winkets.
