The Senate was not the scene of much inter

hour of meeting at -, instead of II, but it fail

make show of business before the people, but
those best acquainted with parliamentary pro-
ceedings, know that the committee room is the
place to facilitate it.
There has been memorial presented from
| the Chamber of Commerce, New York, remor-

ruptcy, prior to the year 1S41. Also in favor of
the compulsory principle, in the case of traders,
and a majority of creditors for the discharge o.
the debtor. This was presented by Mr. Wright,
ton for all remonstrances against bankrupt
law, and in favor Of the compulsory principle, if
it must pass. The end of this matter is easily

persons, (broken in fortune, through the rash and
wicked experiments Of corrupt administration
whose services are lost to themselves and coun-

if proper bankrupt bill was passed, giving
them discharge, they would deliver it up; but
if it be not, thousands will make their way to

up their means, and be made the slaves of credi-

APROPER REBUKE.

The following article is from the Philadelphia
Sentinel, prominent advocate of the admins
tration. 1t is source of qualification to find
among any portion of the Van Buren, press, sem
timents at once patriotic and so Independent.
sssCritto' cannot be admitted into the Sentinel.
Gen. Harrison is not our choice for the Presiden-
CIV, but this is no reason why we should give our
columns to the propagation of ISLANDERS against
him which have been hundred times refuted.
We may add that he who could write or endorse
the assertion shat Gen. Harrison was always a
coward, always foe to the people, always as
rapacious as Verres, and as infamous as Arnold,
deserves the scorn and reprobation of every com
munity in which the grateful remembrance of
generous deeds is not damning crime"

troublesome for so soon presenting myself before
you again; but, really, the friends of Harrison

No better evidence could desire of the pros
perity of our cause, than to behold the spirit
which animates the people. All the subscribers
sent you, are gentlemen who accidentally called,
and to whom the subject was mentioned in my

pose, without solicitation, and think they num-
Der near fifty within week. With the promis-

as Kendall said when he unfurled his resignation.

DEAR SIR,-You will have learned before this
reaches you, of the important action of the Le-
gislature of this State, by which the plighted
faith of the Commonwealth has been kept not
merely to the letter, but to the very spirit of the
law. The Governor has signed the Improve
ment bill, the Tax bill, and bill to pay the
holders of State stock the difference between
bank notes and specie, for sums Of money which
had been paid for interest thereon during the sus-
pension, and for the payment ofinterest on loans,
hereafter, in specie or its equivalent. Thus the
State of Pennsylvania, has nobly determined to
redeem her shattered honor. These proceedings
Of the Legislature will have the most salutary
effect upon every branch Of business, and will
more especially inspire confidence, and conse-
quently produce animation and laudable spirit
of enterprise among our merchants and capital
lists. The effect is already perceptible, and men,
whe but yesterday,we gloomy and responding,
now Iosk cheerful and sanguine.
