Our Philadelphia letter Of the 18th was not

part of il:
PHILADELPHIA, May IL, 1871.
THE condition of Pennsylvania is most melancholy
Burdened with taxation, and involved in debt, her
energies are struck with temporary palsy Her Exc
cutive lost to all of duty illustrates every feas
BILE measure Of relief, and has surrounded himself with
hungry patisans who eating out the very substance
of the State. They think only of preserving their
official existence There is no hope Of regeneration
under the present State administration. Reform must
begin with the election Of new Governor, whose
private character, and public life full Of testimo
malls Of moral worth and official lntegrityand such
man is John Banks, the Wing candidate for Gov
ernor Economy must be introduced into every branch
OF the government; sinecures abolished public Off
GERS held TO strict accountability, and the whole
force of the administration bent to raising the charac-
ter Of the State to its ancient tone and rcvyng the
PROSTATE energies Of Pennsylvania. Under such an
other administration that Of Gov Porter, we mut
expect recurrence Of the extravaganza corrup
ton, and waste of public moneys which always cha
racterize Loco foco admin tration be il of the Ma
tional Government, or that of the States. There is
not well governed Loco-foco State in the Union,

ARRIVAL OF THE BARQUE CLARION AT
aGbl E8 M HAVANA 4 t5

At Hale's news-room we find a translation from a
Havana-extra, Of April 28th, received by way of
Charleston, of a card from Capt. VIM L. Stone and
the officers Of brig Corinthan, Of Gardiner, Me- the
purport ofwhich is that the Corinthian wrecked
on the Bahamas, her passage from Philadelphia for
New Orleans and after being the wreck ten days,
suffering the most intense torments the Clarion foriu
nately came TO her aid-prevous to which more than
thirty vessels had passed the Conthan without being
able to render any assistance 4a 4ssu
Capt Stone returns his thanks for the kind atten-
ton Capts. Dunn & Glover and also to the passen-
gers of the Clarion. She came to anchor near the
wreck, and lay there nearly two days. Capt. Stone
speaks in the highest terms of Ericssons propellers
and is satisfied that without them himself and crew
must have perished ordinary vessels could APP
proach her. ss &6
The Clarion encountered most severe gales from
the south and southeast during her passage and
obliged to lie under Cape Hatteras thirtysx hours
consequence of utter inability to get ahead. Deduct
ing the time lost there and the Bahamas the passage
to Havana was performed in about eight days rum
ming time.
We may as well repeat that the Clarion has Fran
cis's lfe-boat, as every vessel should have.

article OF some four columns in length, presenting
in bold relief the names of all those who have been re-
moved from Office since the guilotine" Of the Wing

the names Of those who have been appointed in their

shower of EXPLANATIONS, the democratic press

which you may do until your polluted sheet will need

own party or that Of your opponents2 Never Those

foot They have too much sense of justice and know
too well the history of the two last administrations

banner of loco-focosm. Can it be expected to come
from the Whigs-from those who souq hit to destroy
the hydra in its birth, or from those who from the
smart of the scorpion teoth in to crush the

Most heartily, then, we bid you 20 on-make as
great an array Of names you canthe very fact will

you Bancroft removed from Office at the North, and
we tell you Of a man who has spent the emolumens
of his Office and the time Of the people in ecturng

Wells removed from the Office ofpostmaser of Hartford

Port Of New Haven and have not seen those who

the country towns; when you show postmaster
removed from office, we will point you TO man who
has been kind ofcaptan to keep your party discpn

the elections of the people.
