ThesGovernor of Pennsylvania transmitted
message to the Legislature of that stateSon the
10Th inst. recommending q tsksation of all real
and personal estate for the purpose Fof paying
Fthe debts of the State. He states that tax
ofthree per cent. on all real and personal prop
erty in the Commonwealth would yield $4,000
600; which sum would be more than sufficient
to pay the whole debt of the state. This mode,
it appears to us, is far preferable to waiting for
the U. S. Government to pay it-at all events,
the object would be more speedily accomplished

APPORTION MENT BILL.

The House, it will be seen, have given up
their own bill, and taken the Senate's ratio OF
representations On the return of the bill from
the Senate, the House voted a prompt rejection
Of the Senate's measure, reducing the represent
tation below that of the last census, notwth-
sanding the great increase of population. But,
after this demonstration, vndcating the great
principle and right of esentatoi1-insisting
that the Representative should be brought as
close as possible to the constituent and that
with the extension of settled territory, and null
tiplication of people, the Representative body
should be increased-the House yielded every
thing to the Senate; and yielded under the impu-
tation thrown upon it by Senators, that it was
diso-dery, andamcapable in proportion to its
numbers
The public will, however, recollect that, ten
years ago, the House was as large as it is now,
and that no disorder or indecorums marked its
deliberations, until just before the close of Gen.
Jackson's administration. The Bank then set
it's mercenaries. and the Aboitionists their in
cendiaries, to work to mar the dignity and USE
fulness OF the Representative body-to degrade
it in the eyes of the people. A few of these fac
tous and intriguing mal-contents have contrived
to distract the public councils. to waste the time,
and defeat the order and properties of our great
est and most popular legislative assembly, with
a viewto bring discredit OH the democratic prin-
ciple which lies at its foundation 1t is to hand
full of conspirators-not to the great body of the
peoples Representatives-that the recent diff
culties and disorganized condition of the peoples
House are to be attributed. Until within the
four last years, the efficiency and responsibility
of the representative body were never impaired
although the numbers were as great as at pres
ent No hour rules, no gags, no caucus dicta-
tons, interfered with the right of free discussion.
All went on well, until Federal Whiggery made
it's factous coalitions, and thrust in its irebrands
to keep upasort Of confagration, instead of cool
