THE ADVOCATE. BRUNSWICK, (Ga.) JAN. 3, J 839. PENNSYLVANIA TROUBLES. We do not learn that the dissension between the two assemblies that claim to be the House of Representatives is yet composed. In rela tion to the difficulties subsisting at Harris burg, we have been surprised to find that ‘ the party’ press throughout the country, from the Globe down to the meanest hirelings, have been industriously employed in justifying that most disgraceful and riotous occupation of the Capitol of the Stale by a mob; and the interruption of the Legislative proceedings. The facts are ascertained and notorious in relation to the origin and progress of these lamentable and outrageous proceedings. In order to produce a false record of the votes of the city and county of Philadelphia, and to effect the election of C. J. Ingersoll to Con gress, a Van Buren clerk of a ward in the Northern Liberties was found base enough to commit the monstrous perjury of destroying the poll-books, which he had sworn faithfully to keep. Afterwards in furtherance of the same object, at the Convention of the Judges of elections, a majority of seventeen Van Bu ren judges decided that, because the returns of one ward of the Northern Liberties had been destroyed, the whole district of the Lib erties should be disfranchised, and all the re- 1 turns from them rejected, though the returns of the other six wards of which the district is composed, were regularly recorded and duly returned. Thus were the votes of 5000 electors exclu ded, for the purpose of falsely returning Mr. Ingersoll to Congress, and without considering the effect upon the Legislative elections which were held at the same time and place. Im mediately upon perceiving the existence of this foul plot, which Mr. Ingersoll himself or ganized, the Whig minority of six return judges, very properly refused to act with the other seventeen. They withdrew from the conventions, and from the returns in their pos session, within the prescribed time, and in the form provided by law, made returns to the Senate, of the votes of their districts for the members of the Legislature. The seventeen also made returns of their votes, but not with-! in the time limited, or the time prescribed. J Under these circumstances the whig members at the opening of the session of the state leg-j islature appeared and claimed their seats. Now at this point, we desire each reader 1 independently and for himself calmly and i candidly to make up his mind upon what has , been already related. The facts thus far are entirely independent of what subsequently took place. There is no doubt that the Van Buren members of the Legislature actually did j receive a majority, and would, had all the votes been properly counted, have been re-. turned; while on the other hand there is no ; doubt that under the same circumstances Mr. Ingersoll had lost his return to Congress. At the -same time, we, appreciating most deeply the importance of laws and strict forms to the I security of our government and institutions, i and regarding with horror as the greatest of crimes and the worst treason, the interference with the purity of elections, which was com-1 menced and carried through by the seventeen Van Buren judges, have no hesitation in declaring that the six judges did their duty. But whatever may be the variance of good men upon this question, they must all regard with unqualified reprobation and grief what followed. At the assembly of the two branches of the Legislature at the Capitol, it became the first duty of thc'Senatc to open, declare and record the returns of the legislative vote3 from the whole State. When the Senate had organ ized for this purpose, there appeared in the galleries and lobbies of their chamber, and even crowding the Senators in their seats, an armed mob of ruffians, commanded by one McCahen, an assistant ir. the Philadelphia post-office, with the avowed design of controll ing their legislative proceedings. When it was proposed to receive the returns of the minority of judges this rabble interfered, and with threats of personal violence tore Senators from their seats. The session was adjourned in confusion. Harrisburg was in possession of the mob; and until the military from Phila delphia approached, disorder reigned, and bloodsh-Vararchy onowvelHiSwi 'br^cned. Let it now be marked and recorded who were the authors of this sad blight upon our pational reputation and credit The Govern ment party—headed by a government officer, eupported and justified by the Government press 1! No whig mob appeared to support their partv in maintaining their rights, or to interfere with the freedom of legislative action. We have before said' that we respect tiie Law and its forms—we revere our written Constitutions. We regard these as the true, the only safeguards of our liberties, and the strict observation of them the only guaranty that we can transmit these institutions and liberties unimpaired to our children. But of l a tc—and we almost shrink with fear to ob serve it—the casual assemblies of excited par tisans, and the hurried action of inflamed mobs have assumed to themselves the character and supreme authority of The People. As such they have attempted to control and supersede, and in some instances have overawed and an ticipated, regularly constituted legislative and judicial tribunals. The first symptoms of such a disposition were indeed dangerous and 1 alarming enough. But to what a terrible cri-1 sis have we arrived, when such dangerous principles are encouraged and upheld by the powers of our National Government! Indeed, j in this scene of corruption, the time seems not I far distant—if not already to have arrived, j when—not from any foreign attack—not from ! any sectional division —but from the mere j stupid and wicked neglect of the Constitu- j tions our fathers so dearly bought us, “the sun j of the Union shall set in blood!” IMPORTANT. Among the last acts of the Legislature was the appointment of Commissioners of finance,! as provided for by the following resolutions. It cannot be, that this Commission should j make the examination and report proposed,; without devising some means of raising and ' I improving the credit of the State, and pro viding for a conciliation of all our different in terests in relation to Internal Improvements. 1 We are now in the singular position of a whole State, unanimously in favor of internal improvement, but unable to digest and agree upon any plan for carrying them forward. We can think of no better measure than the ap-1 pointment of such a Commission, and if their 1 duty is thoroughly and faithfully executed upon principles of liberality and justice to all, we i have no doubt that ample means will appear : to promote the interests of all sections of the State harmoniously. We cannot disbelieve that their report will be accepted, and that Georgia will proceed in the van of many of her sister States with New Y’ork, Pennsylva nia, South Carolina, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, and Kentucky, in the march of Internal Im- \ provement. The preamble and resolutions, adopted by j both houses, are as follows: The State of Georgia having heretofore re lied, chiefly, for meeting the ordinary expens es of the government, of education, and of the public works undertaken by law, on the reve nue derived from her public lands, and her bank stock; and one source of this revenue be ing now at an end, in consequence of the. disposition of the public domain; and the state having, to promote the best interest of poster- ; ity as well as of the present generation, nn- j dertaken a large part of a great public work, namely the connexion of the waters of the Mississippi with the Atlantic ocean through her own territory, by Rail Road, the comple tion of which connexion will raise her to her proper standing among the other states, and be of immense utility, for all time to come to her own people; and as the said work will re quire a heavy expenditure of money to com plete it at an early day, and in nn efficient manner; and the funds to meet the expendi-! ture having to be procured in part from abroad; and it being understood that the success of all negotiations for capital with foreigners, de- j pends in a great degree on the system of fi- j nance adopted at home, to provide for the cer-; tain payment on the day appointed, of the in- j terest engaged to be paid, as well as for the ultimate payment of the principal; and the State of Georgia being at present altogether with- i out such system: Re it Resolved , That his Excellency the I Governor be, and he is hereby requested to | appoint forthwith, three commissioners, whose : duty it shall be to take the whole subject of the state’s finances in hand, arrange, digest, and report, at the earliest possible day of the next session of the legislature, a system of finance for the state, which, calling into ac- j tion all her resources, shall afford ample and ! efficient means to sustain, as in the present | age they should be sustained, the great inter ests of public education and internal improve ments. And be it further resolved, That the com missioners to be appointed under the foregoing resolution, be, and they are hereby, authorized to call upon his Excellency the Governor, the Secretary of State, Treasurer, the Comptroll er General, the Surveyor General, and the Officers of the Central Bank, for any infor mation necessary or proper in the discharge ! of the duties hereby assigned them. MR. PRICE’S ELOPEMENT. We have already announced the departure ; of this gentleman [?] late the United States j District Attorney at New York, to “ foreign 1 parts abroad,” after having, in collusion with ■ Mr. Swartwout, cheated the government treas- j ury of two millions of dollars. He is known to have taken with him more than two hun dred thousand dollars in gold and in bills of exchange; and it is moreover stated that he has either carried off or destroyed the bonds which Swartwout and his other defalcating friends gave to Government as security for their honesty and good behaviour in office— which bonds were in his official keeping. Mr. Price before sailing, had assigned his house and furniture, to prevent their being at izehed by government/ 1 ' They were Hold at public auction. And here was exposed the true character of a blustering loco foco and violent demagogue, continually advocating the people’s rights. His mansion, purchased with money defrauded from the public—his dear constituents whose welfare and rights he had so much at heart—was a Palace, and his furniture of the most luxurious and costly de scndjpn. Such was the excitement and de- visit so magnificent a residence, that the crowd at the sale was immense, and the furniture is said to have sold at one thousand dollars more than it cost After the late exposure, it need hardly be added what is now so evident—that Mr. Price , was always known by those who knew him at; all, to be of bad moral character, and tint no administration except the present, would ever have entrusted him with a responsible office. Recall of Gov. Cass.— The Baltimore Chronicle says:—There is a rumor abroad, and which we find has been mentioned in several papers, that Gov. Cass has been recalled from France. BRUNSWICK ADVOCATE. FROM MILLEDGEVILLE. Our latest dates from Milledgeville are to the 26th inst From these it appears that our representatives, with a vast amount of unfin ished business before them, have been more occupied with attending to the general poli tics of the countrv, than in minding their own j business. The U. S. Bank or any National | Bank is condemned, —the Sub-Treasury is approved, and the public interests for which the whole State is clamorous are neglected.— Indeed a number of Representatives, as ear ly as the 20th inst. actually deserted their I posts, and went home, in a manner that deserv ed arrest —which desertion we trust may be | remembered in the next year’s elections, j The Georgia Lumber Company (owning the | Doboy Mills we believe,) is incorporated.— An appropriation to remove the obstructions in the Chattahoochee above West Point is re fused. The Western and Atlantic Rail Road Company are to have State bonds to the a mount of a million and a half dollars for the construction of their road. The General Banking Law has passed. It is in all respects similar to the New York law. We hail this with rejoicing as a provis ion for introducing competition into the busi ness of banking, and preventing our banks from being degraded into mere brokers’ shops. Our own was the first press in the southern states, that published the particulars of the New York law and urged its adoption here, We are happy to record its so speedy enact ment. A Convention of the people of the State is called, for reducing the members of the House of Representatives. An appropriation of three thousand dollars has passed for erecting a monument to the memory of Lyman Hall, (whose mother was of our own family) one of the signers of the Declaration of Independ ence, and formerly a Governor of this State. The Talbotton and Washington rail road bills have passed, but banking privileges arc refused them. The resolution to remove the Seat of Government to Macon was postponed to next session by a vote of only 74 to 68- The Legislature would not adjourn before Saturday the 29th ult. FROM WASHINGTON. Latest dates 'Z\d ult.—ln Senate. —A bill has been passed postponing indefinitely the pay ment of the fourth instalment of the surplus revenue, amounting to ten millions of dollars, which it will be remembered had been pre viously postponed, on account of the exigency of the times, and the extravagance of the go vernment, until the Ist of the current month. Mr. Clay .strove manfully to limit the post ponement for one year, but the Government had it nil their own way, and would not relin quish the spoils. Thus Georgia loses about $700,000. Mr. Crittenden introduced a bill to restrain U. S. officers from interfering in elections. This yet remains to be acted upon. The bill for the current expenses of Congress came up from the House and was concurred in. Mr. Wall attempted to incorporate in it a provision in favor of the old pensioners, which caused some exciting debate, but his amendment was rejected. Information was demanded upon the state of affairs upon the northern frontier. In the House —An animated discussion oc curred between some of the members from Pennsylvania, in relation to the disturbances in the Legislature of that State, which result ed in a call upon the President for informa tion. The President answered in a message, transmitting the correspondence of the Secre tary of State, by which it appeared, that the authorities of Pennsylvania had applied for U.S. troops, and that the President had de clined to interfere. Mr. Wise has moved for an investigation of the Swartwout affairs, and in one of his most spirited speeches has de clared that Secretary Woodbury must have known, or ought to have known, these immense defalcations long since, and is liable to im peachment for malpractice in his office. The appropriation bills for the general contingent expenses of government, and also for the con tingent expenses of the army and navy, have passed the House, and are sent to the Senate. But the great excitement and interest of the last week’s proceedings, has b®en upon the presentation of petitions for the recognizance ofHaytiasan independent government. Mr. Adams’ Mr. Saltonstall, Mr. Wise, Mr. Boul din, Mr. Bynum, and Mr. Legare, all took part irf this exciting debate, and spoke at some length. The question of Abolition and of the right to petition was completely opened, and words would not suffice to describe the excite ment of the discussion. Os the southern mem bers Mr. Wise and Mr. Bouldin were in i favor of entertaining and debating the Aboli ; tion question, Messrs. Legare and By.nurn j-were unwilling to receive the petitions. ; Both Houses adjourned for the Christinas : holidays, from the 22d to the 2Gth. IMPORTANT AND LATEST NEWS FROM PENNSYLVANIA. The breach between the Senate together with the Whig branch of the House of Rep resentatives and the Loco Foco representa tives, seem now to be wider than ever. The Senate have not yet recognized the Whig branch as the lawfully constituted House, though they have formally resolved that the other or Hopkins House is illegally constituted. When this was known the Hopkins House passed a resolution declaring themselves to be as legally organized as the Senate, and ap pointing a Committte to draft an Address to the People of Pennsylvania, requesting them to call a Convention to take the Government of the State into their own hands! The existing condition of things had created great excite ment at Harrisburg yesterday. An express arrived in York last night at 10 o’clock for two of the citizens who have been very active in supporting the “Committee of Safety,” and the only one of them who was at' home started off at one o’clock a. m. to the 1 seat of Government. The following are the Hopkins resolutions : ■ In the Van Buren House on the afternoon 1 of the 20th, the following Resolution was of fered by Mr. Broadhcad and unanimously. adopted: Whereas, This House was duly organized on the 4th instant, (December 4th, 1838,) and gave notice to the Senate of such organiza tion, and has held its sessions every day since that period, in this I Tall, and has not received an official communication that the Senate, a co-ordinate branch of the government, is or ganized and ready to co-operate with it in the duties devolving on the Legislature of Pennsylvania: And whereas,the public good requires that the Legislature should proceed in the discharge of its official duties, promptly and efficiently, according to the Constitution and the laws: And whereas, it appears, by the journals of the proceedings of the Senate, that that body has passed upon the constitu tional organization of the House of Represen tatives, and decided thereon:—And whereas, by this decision the Legislative departments of the Government have become inoperative,— j Therefore, Resolved, That a committee be appointed to report for the consideration and adoption of this House, an Address to the freemen of the Commonwealth, calling upon them to take immediate measures for the restoration of the government. The committee was ordered to consist of Messrs. Broadhead, Flenniken, Hill of West moreland, Field, Fogely, Pray, Woodburn, Ileggins and Butler. MR. BIDDLE’S LETTER. We have not room for this document entire; but we regret it the less, as the conclusion, which, we extract below, contains the sum and substance of the whole. It is addressed, as were his former letters, to John Q. Adams. We formerly expressed our opinion that this indirect inode of addressing the public was, if not indecorous, at least improper, and that such communications should come forth with the sanction of his Board of Directors. We see no reason to change this opinion. It is probable that the doings and merits of the U. S. Bank are fairly stated. It is always a most fortunate circumstance that, in a na tional institution, such *as this Bank has been, the public welfare and the private interest of the institution itself both co-operate to suggest the most prompt and active measures for tlie preservation of national and individual credit, and for the restoration of the general prosper ity. While we would not narrowly, and in the spirit of party, withhold from the direction of the U. S. Bank the praise and credit due to the sagacious measures they have so readily and manfully taken for the public good,,we are at the same time aware, that those same measures were most conducive to their own profit and security. ##*#### 1 And now, upon reviewing the events which follow ed the suspension, it is a source of great gratification to see that all that it was designed to do, has been done. It was proposed to protect the character of the country from the first shock of the suspen sion—to effect the honorable discharge of our foreign debt with the least sacriSce of the properly of the debtors—to vindicate the good faitli of the state Legislature—to discharge all premature attempts to resume—but, by a cau tious delay for those states which were less prepared, accomplished a universal resumption. All these are done, and the troubles of the country have happily ceased. Os the future, it is difficult to speak; but in that future the bank of the United States will no longer occupy its past position. The bank of the United States had ceased to be a nation al institution in 1836, and was preparing to occupy its new place as a state bank, when the troubles of 1837 forced it in some degree back into its old position; and it then devoted all its power to assist in carrying the country unhurt through its recent troubles. Having done this, its extraordinary duties ceased.— For the future, it abdicates this involuntary power. It has no longer any responsibility to the Union. It has no longer any controversy with the government of the Union. It now desires only repose, and it will take its rank hereafter, as a simple state institution, devoted exclusively to its own special concerns. I rejoice too, that this new position of the bank absolves me fr«m many cares and duties. In the general confusion of public affairs dur ing the last two years it has been my lot to be more prominent than my own inclination prompted, and often to assume a station which would have better fitted others. But public calamities justify the apparent fowardnessthey require—os great dangers are best met by de fying them. My task is now ended—and I gladly withdraw from these responsibilities, carrying with me the only satisfaction I ever sought into them—the consciousness of hav ing done my duty to the country as a good citizen. With great regard, yours, &c. N. BIDDLE. THE CHEVALIER GLUCK. Wc are happy to present to our readers, up on our first page, a very spirited translation by a friend, from the German of Hoffmann, de scriptive of his interviews with this celebrated musical composer. Thi3 narration will prove most gratifying to the lovers of literature and science, not only as sketching in a manner 1 the most graphical the musical enthusiasm of the composer, but also as presenting the per fect bonhotnmie and good fellowship of the dis distinguished narrator Hoffmann himself, who in this respect can be considered only as a ! fair specimen of thousands of that eccentric j jovial and laborious race, the German scholars. Gluck himself it will be remembered is the composer of the magnificent music of the Armida, Iphigenia in Aulis, Iphigenia in Tauris, and of many other remarkable compo sitions. In this scene he is represented as hearing his own music. STEAMBOATS TO SAVANNAH. The steamers Isis and Forrester do not yet appear in our‘advertising columns, but we ex pect every day that they will. We arc given to Understand that they will run regularly and constantly from Black Creek to Savannah and will always touch here in going and returning. We would suggest to her owners (to whom we owe many thanks for their attention in for warding the latest newspapers) the importance of fixing upon regular days for the arrival and i departure of these boats that this place might' become a more convenient'rendeavous for their passengers from this county and vicinity.— And we {would suggest to our friends and neighbors the importance of particularly em ploying this regular line of boats in preference to transient boats, that this important commu-, nication may be properly supported, encour aged and continued. The Isis did not put in the last trip only be cause the captain was so ill that he could not appear upon deck. Hereafter we are assured the Isis and the Forrester will always call. Lumber Business. —We arc indebted to a valued correspondent, of much experience, for the first of a valuable senes of communica tions upon this important branch of the coin inerco of Georgia. We much regret that the crowded state of our colnnms prevents its ap pearance before the next week. Owing to the change in the arrange ment of the mails, the Advocate will hereaf ter be published on Saturday, instead of Thurs day.

They would iu the first place express their unqualified disapprobation of the recent pub -1 cations in band bills and newspapers of chal lenges fiiT duels, given and received in open contempt of our laws, conveyed in language so indecorous, and containing conditions so bar barouaaml ferocious as to reflect disgrace on a civilized community. They would recommend that the mem hers of our society, who have been concerned in such publications, be prosecuted. The late lamented renconter that took plase nt Brunswick between Mr. John A.

They cannot however repress the expression of their grief that by that act, one of their most respected citizens hns been consigned to an un timely fate, and a blighting misery inflicted on a most worthy family consisting of an aged and amiable lady and her daughters. They cannot too pointedly advert to the fact, thnt had the only Justice of the Peace on this Island discharged his duty, such a misfortune would not have happened. They therefore recommend that be be prosecuted for mal practice in office and neglect of duty; unless he previously resigns his commission. They would notice the circumstance that strangers anil aliens of doubtful character have established themselves nt Frederica, and sub sist by illegal trafic with slaves, and would re commend that they be prosecuted. i They would strongly express their indigna tion that strangers, aided by some members of this community, have attempted to run up lands sot apart for useful public purposes, and held by public bodies under tile authority of the State for a period far beyond that prescrib ed by the law. They would particularly notice, that follow ing so bad a precedent, a certain Mrs. Cather ine Blue has made a sacriligion* attempt to run up the Church lands on this Island, vested by the Legislature in the Wardens and Vestry men of Christ s Church; and Which now CIV and have been in the undisputed possession of that corporate body for above thirty years.— Such attempts to wrest from poblie bodies of useful character, the endowments conferred on them at a remote period, being equally bold and unjust, they recommend that alt legal means by suits against the trespasser*, a*d the Surveyor, be resorted to in order to defeat them. And whereas it appears that society has be come so depressed, that the Church bibles and prayer books arc no longer safe in o«r Church, they recommend their removal, add that of the pulpit and altar ornaments and the commamion cups, to some place of safety, antil Mrs. Bine's survey is decided, and until the Rector re turns.
