The democratic meeting, called at Independence
square, in this city on Monday afternoon last to
sustain the course Of President Polk the Oregon
question: and in regard to the public defenees, was
arge and highly effective gathering, notwitiIstspd-
ing the high, raw wind which prevailed, preventing
the speeches from being heard, and rendering their
efforts very difficult, besides keeping away many
who were anxious 10 unite IN the demonstration.
The preamble and resolutions may be found IN any
Of our democratic papers Of Yesterday, and ! AIN
sure they will be approved by you. They have
been pronounced judicious and we-tmsd by the
most Of those who have read them here. The reply
OF the President TO Mr.. Senator CsytonH resolution
asking for any further correspondence that may
have taken place on the Oregon question, Is
ercriticsm Of the wing press, upon the course Of
the Executive, and is one Of the many water
hauls" they have made ever since March, lo45,
in their attempts to find fault with Mr.. Polk They
have changed often themselves, that they expect
him to do so too. In December last, very proml-
nent wing senator reported IN the papers as be-
ing really IN advance Of the democrats on Oregon,
and the increase Of the army and navy. His case
was that Of number Of others at that time but they
have all fallen back sadly since, and now are chiefly
known as those who render themselves conspicuous
in retarding legislation on a great national queS-
tlon and in unfair and gratuitous csrpng at the un
broken and consistent course Of the President
The legislature Of this State have resolved TO ad
iourn on the Odd of March, inst. l should not be
astonshed, however, if this resolution were rcc"n.
| sdered, if the bill granting the right ofway to the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad should not pass ~
all events, in such contingency, the atemPt would
be made.
Governor Skunk, few weeks ago, vetoed a bill
which had passed the legislature OF this State,
granting corporate powers to a manufacturing COM
pany. His objections were admirably correct and
forcIble and although effort has been made tp
show that he is opposed TO the encouragement OF
manufactures, his reasons are generally ard WaTm'y
approved. The other manufactures in thIs State
are ALL if | am not mistaken, individual enterprises
and there is reason why the one in question
should not be able to succeed on the same prncipe,
Our worthy executive is sound and firm all Ihe.c
great questions, and is not afraid either to carry bio
principles into practice.
Yesterday morning, before Judge King in eq ~,
the court Of common pleas entered up decree in
the case Of the Bank ofKenucky, the SehuylkiIl
Bank and Hosea J. Lewis for the OF IL 1878
as a Just indemnify for the fraudulent issue Of
thirteen thousand one hundred and eighty 1.-Two
shares of stock, in accordance with the opinion
of the court, delivered some weeks ago, 1t is well
known that THE suit WAS decided in favor OF
the kentucky Bank, upon special act of the legis-
ature; and the Schuylkl Bank, in the belief that
it has just Defence has also applied to the egIsla-
ture for an act TO prosecute an appeal without CIV
ing security for the judgment. This act is now be.
fore the legislature. 1t is contended that the dec
sion in question will be extremely oppressive to the
stock holders in the Schuylkill Bank Their assets
will not more than half meet the amount which they
have been decreed to pay; and if the judgment Is
enforced, they not only lose all that is available to
the Kentucky Bank, but more-they lose the char
ter of the Schuylkill Bank, which has six years to
run 1t is supposed that if the legislature granted
the appeal to this bank would eventually be better
for both parties. These at all events, are the opin-
ions now pretty generally expressed.
Stocks are low to-day, and yesterday Pennsylvu-
MIA ives commanded only S67l. ...
