report OF the late whg ratification meeting in In
dependence square, which speaks lightly Of all the
addresses made on that occasion, with the excep-
ton Of one by Col George Rivers, of Rhode
Island, young man of no little promise poll
tician. The Penmsylpamian is having good time
OF 1t by. the way, with the confusion OF the late
convention. The clever editor appears to be in
ecstacies, and thinks Gen. Taylor can be beaten
more easily than could have been Mr.. Clay. There
are men who agree with him on that point in the
democratic ranks and have an opinion on the
subject myself but prefer to keep sub rosa at least
for the present Bets three to one are made in
favor of Gen: Taylor, and the general impression
is that he will be elected. BRowN. JR

reasonable length, and is devoted to useful hints in
regard TO the necessary laws, funds, public conve-
niences, &c, required by the new State in order
TO start fair in her political course. Governor
Dewey says-"The public faith must be sustained,
and all of the liabilities of the State promptly
met. The true interests of the State and people,
and an economical administration of its fiscal ar
fairs, imperiously call for il. The basis upon
which the credit of the State is established in the
inception of its political existence will mark its
future character for years. 4
would respectfully recommend the evying of
direct State tax sufficient to any deficiency
of the treasury in meeting the expenses of the
State for the present fiscal year
am fully convinced that the exemption from
forced sale, of reasonable amount of real es-
tate as homestead for the debtor, though IN my
opinion unwias and impolitic as constitutional
law, would 10 as statutory provision, measure

raise the moral character of our people. there
fore respectfully call your attention to this subject
as worthy Of consideration, and urge that provl-
sion be made by law to carry out the homestead
exemption principle
The gratitude Of the whole country is due to the
adm nstraton and the army OF the Union, for the
prompt manner IN which the nations rights and
honor have been indicated, in the war with Mex

the strength and power Of republican institu-
tons. That the people are capable of self-govern-
ment is reduced to axiom in our happy land
