judieious economy. An OVERLOOKING treasury

gance which could only be gradually corrected
The work required both time and patience. l
applied myself diligently to this task from the
beginning, and was aided by the able and ener-
getc efforts OF the heads Of the different execu-
tive departments. The result Of our labors IN
this good cause did not appear in the sum total
OF expenditures for the first TIVE years. mainly
in consequence of the extraordinary expendi-
ture incurred in the Utah expedition, and the
very large amount Ofthe contingent expenses Of
Congress Daring this period these greatly
exceeded the pay and mileage Of the member 5.
For the year ending 30th JUNE, 1858, whilst the
pay aud mileage amounted TO sl,4yO,2l4,
the contingent expenses rose 10 $2,lgs

whilst the pay and mileage amounted TO SS5y

is good reason TO expect that under its

tercourse with that distant and interesting

lions Of the treaty were exchanged with
unusual solemnity. For this purpose the
Tycoon had accredited three of his most
distinguished Ministers Plenipotentiary,
who were received and treated with mark
ed distinction and kindness by by the Gov
eminent and people Of the United States.

RESOLUTION Oh THE DEMOCRATIC
STATE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE.

Profoundly impressed with the Importance OF
prompt, vigorous and patriotic action on the part
Of the Democratic State Committee, in order Ia
avert, If possible, the consequences which must
inevitably result from the unhappy divisions now
IN the ranks of the Democracy in our State and
nation, we cordially and honestly recommend to
tho Do nocracy of the State that they unite with
heart and voice in the support of our excellent
and competent nominee for Governor, Henry D.
Foster, and that in all the local elections they
net as one party, forgiving and forgetting any
differences that they may have entertained for
the Presidency; bnt with a view to perfect uni
ty against the common enemy, we recommend to
the Democracy Of Pennsylvania to unite th cir
votes for President on the electoral ticket formed
at Reading on the 1st day of March, 1860, on the
following basis and understanding, viz. That
If said electoral ticket should be elected by the
people, and 1t should appear, on ascertaining the
result in the other States Of the Union, that by
casting the entire vote of Pennsylvania for Ste
phen A. Douglas and Herschel V. johnson, it
would elect item President and Vice President
over Messrs. Lincoln andIIamlin, then said elec-
tors shall be under obligation so to cast said
vote If on the other hand it should appear that
said vote would not elect Messrs. Douglas and
Johnson, but would elect John y, Breckenridge
and Joseph Lane President and Vice President
over Messrs Lincoln and Hamlin, then said vote
shall be cast for them; and in case the united
vote OF Pennsylvania would no lelect either of
these tickets then the electors may divide it ac-
eprding to their own judgement of what would be
The best for the country and the Democratic par
ty-the basis Of this united action being that it
is the first and highest duty of all Democrats,
however they nay differ about men and minor
points of fprinciple or policy to unite against the
common enemy, and to avert, if eossible, the
greatest calamity that could befall the country,
the election Of n Black Republican President -
and further, tho Chairman of this Committee is
hereby authorized to correspond with the several
electors in the State, and obtain from him his
written pledge, within thirty days from this date
that he will faithfully carry out the opbject Of
this resolution.
