HARRisBuRs, Dec. 10, lsil.
While many friends of order and the best inter
ests Of our State are rejoicing that the political par
aly.is which lost Us the command Of the lower
House of our Assembly, has not affected the SEN
ate. it Is perhap. extremely doubtful whether the
wishes of the patriot would not be sooner accom-
pli.hed had both the Executive and Legislative
power been thrown conpletely and ipdispu;ablyi- l.
70 the hand, of our toco-Fo co opponents. TO coz
gince the deceived people that the destructive AID
radical tenet. which have been enerafted on once
pure stock, have rendered its fruits poisonous it
NAV be necessary for the entire power to relapse
into the custody Of those who arc continually as
sailing our institutions and ra.irg h,pocritical
issues, BY advocating theories which they never
intend to practice. 1t will be dangerous esper-
i-aen,, but sometime. VOC i1s.; cut beyond the
wound 70 make the cure complete"
The people of Pennsylvania deserve higher
destiny than to be controlled by LocO-FOcOisp;
they IRE proud of their State; conhden, of her
resources; Jealous of inputation tho honor of

Gerucra ere happily blended in their character.
which is sufficiently diversified BY the energy and
activity Of settlers from the East. 1t is indeed
noble State noble in her nature. grandeur, in the
eternal features OF mountain and valley on which
the sun has .hone since first called into existence
noble in her intellectual energie. and her proud
common school .y.tem noble in the skill which
pierces the mountain side to bring forth the trsa-
sures of the mine. and in the quiet industry which
cover. the vallies with their golden crops; noble
in the brilliant fires which stream from her tower
like blast furnaces, and emit their glowing volumes
of molten ore noble in her public system Of inn
prOvemeat,, and the individual enterprise which
can supply the market OF the world with her min
eral fuel noble BY nature and the spirit Of her pop
ulation but now alas crushed. debased, humoed
by unhappy legislation and the suicidal policy of
her rulers
Never did the miserable regulaton' OF our i'm
prorement system appear so forcibly as when late
y pcrusng the report of the receipts and disburse-
ments on YOUR New-York work, under true demo
cratic and economical management. To think
that while We have expended forty millions with
out bringing singls cent Of available revenue TO
our treasury, you with half the outlay can add
half million annually TO sinking fund to pay of
the principal of your State debt But at present
shall pursue this theme no further barely re-
marking that the fruits of Democratic Wing policy
will be evident on the first of February next when
the uncommon spectacle, in our State, will be eN-
hbied of paying OF the serl,i-annuai interest of
the State debt, without resort TO direct loan TO
raise the means. Gov Porter, it is true has made
(as their charters compel them to- one and half
per cent on their capital, but | assure you that
there IS not The most distant probability that Tee
reguisit,on nil u cracied, unless nature should
conspire with the prescn, distressed condition Of
finances, and sweep away large portion Of
our public works by winter storms.
"A to the movements in our political world the
times are rife with them, in rather embryo
state, however. The Loco-Fo cos OF our State are
making demonstrations in favor Of James Buchen-
an for tho next Presidency. His friends will be
active this winter al Washington, and previous to
the honorable Senator'S departure for that city,
enucussing quite the order Of the day at Lam
caster, his residence. few OF Gov. Porter per-
soua friends elated his late large mejority, have
made push for Vice Presidential nomination in
his favor, but have learned that this stepis i'd
verse to the Governor wishes and in declining,
Re shows good sense, for David r. Porter ii elect
ed, would make but sorry successor to the former
llustrious incumbens of the Presidential chair in
the United States Senate.
