HOUSE REP’S , April 15, 1540.
For tho Editor Georgian—
Sir—A few days sinco I prc|>nrei| and presented
to the House of Representatives, a Resnludon In
structing tho Cotnmiltco on Commerce to mnko
provisionl>y law, during the present «c*don>riho
ostnblishmcnt of a Custom House In tho City «»
Savannah. The resolution was oluecU-d to by Mr.
l'rofit.oflndl.ma, n Whig; and onnscquondyil /fl, “
over 1 ,*' that Is, It woi rejected in that shnpo ami
form; as resolutions tint* disposed .of, are seldom,
if over heard of again .luring lit" snmn session * or if
token tip at nil,at too Into n |«i i«l to effect any thing
Cut although I wns thus thwarted in niy.ntrampl
to aid and advance the interests of Savannah, our
only senportof Importance, nt this time, I am pleaded
to hnvo it in my power to announce, for tin. Inform*'
tinn of our fellow citUuns, tltut l l«w yola pnwproi
of procuring ofi appropriation for tho orcotlon or a
Custom House, in their City. Tho Committee on
Cotnmcrbo have expressed a wish to bn put in
possession of such papers and documents ns wi.l
oimhio oml authorise thorn, to report a bill in accord
ance with our desires. These papers and.locumcnti
1 urn now prcpnrlng nml collecting, which, togetm-r
with a letter from Jacob CbndlH.nrn,- Esq. .of y»ur
city, upon tho subject referred to, will In) IhIiI bolero
tho Committee, with Uto hope that the final notion
of Congress will result in u lilicml appropriation.
No effort of mino shall bo wanting to ‘ fleet so
desirable an object.
I think I can vetiturri to say, from tho signs of
the times, and from certuln ladiculions I linve lately
witnessed, that we may now entertain a hope of
locating n NaVAI. Dr'poT, somowhero in tho neigli
berimed of Savounnh, ntidthut n farther opproprin-
lion of money will bo made fot tint completion of
Fort Pulaski, on Cnckspur Ir'.and. That fortress,
so important to our soclion of the Union, ns a key
to nil tho interior of Georgia and South Carolina,
(udjacent to, or connected with tho Savannah
river,) is a work, in tho completion of which, every
mnn, of whuiuvcr party, must foci a deep Interest.
Its construction, ns you know, has been p'nccd under
the supervision of Capt. M insfichl.lo wltoseability,
energy, skill and intelligence wo are nvdnly indebted
for tho successful application of the funds horoioforo
appropriated. My inlinrito connexion wiih the
interests and cirisons of Savannah,• will insure to
them all the aid I eon bring to the accomplishment
of these proposed Improvcm-nt*. With thohope of
their speedy mid ultimate sticcn-s.
1 have llio honor to lie your .ibml'i. set v’t.

GOVERNOR’S MESSAGE.
To the Senate and House of Representatives
of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
Gentlemen— I have foil-It to bo my imperative
duty to convene you, on tlio extraordinary occasion
referred to hi thu |rrockiinntion under which you
assemble. Tho facts nnd reasons on whlcll I have
acted uro sufficiently detnilcd in tliht document to
render a /epotitlon unnecessary. 1 beg leave t<>
call your attention to them ns therein set forth. In
nddilinn to the di flc’ency In tho trensury,exhibited
in tho pnrclumnlion, I will now ndd what I did not
then advert to, that no provision whutover is mnde
for the current • xponses of government. It is left
without moans to curry nn its erdlmry opettfions.
I deem it ptoper Instate,thatthe »evcinl reforms
and tni.d.licalions suggested and reeommonded in
my annual m-rssage.in our present hanking system,
hnvo thus fir not met with tho approbation of (lie
legislature, nml I think it my duty again to infotm
yon, that my views on that subject nro not' only
unchanged, hut strengthom-d by sobm rpiuut reflec
tion nnd experience.
I believe it has never happened in the history ol
this commonwealth, that a legislature had adjourned
without making some provision Ter the nidinnry
expenses nf the government. I trust tills legislature
is not 'about to set tho example. Thu disastrous
con«rqnonrci that may ensue, It is impossible
foretell t nml it may require years of legislation,nnd
Inrge expenditures of money hereafter, tu repair tho
evils it will produce. In view of tbeso contingen
cies, I tint sure the members of the legislature cun
need iiomlnioiiitinnsio paint out, and to enforce the
duty they mvu to the public audio themselves.
With great deference to tho legislature, but with
sincere enriiesMio-s, I must urge ni you, tint adop
tion ofsotiie legislative nc-i-oi to obviate the /lilli-
collies and embarrassments set forth in my pr-iclu-
motion, and should any r.iri-imi-niuna s occur to
present the speedy action of'lm legist turn on this
■ubjcct, by which the public may stiller loss ot in*
!unvenieiie.o, I shall feel conscious that no fault cun
be justly attributed to the executive.

SAVANNAH, April 27,1840.
To thu Editor of llio Georgian—
Dear Sir—I inclose you n check for iIip amount
of year bill for the Gcoigiun, uml advertising. The
ordinary tnoilc of disposing of stu-h hills, would liavo
been, to have stood twelve months’ dunning, uml
then declare the bill tu bo lust—as completely lost
us tltotigli it wore laid on tlio Speaker’s table, for
thu bulunco of tlio session. On a reproduction of
thedi-cnmcnt, the next retort would be, to lake up
the bid io »ttctini s, and dispute every in m, seriatim
el literatim ; nnd to nlliim stoutly that you never
advertised a house, ot shop, or negro, or any such
thing. Your agent, bke un expert soldier, comes
prepared tor tlio *|H:ci<-§ of warfare, nml meets the
n-cusnni nt every step, with the original orders.
Bean o out .»f this ground, lie rctrcuis to another,
for a while more- lenuble, bt-cuusa tho party claim 1
unt is not prepared for it—namely, that the hill has
hi en paid a year ugo. This js tlio signal for a sus
pension of hostilities, nml both purlins sopnralo to
examine the ground anew—nnd so on—in the moan*
time tin* printer must livo on hi* means, and pay for
his paper, ink, und labnui, die best way he can.—
Conqxjsilots grumble, pressmen are importunate,
ami oven llio devil, who is generally so civil and
wrli-lwlinvcd in times ol flush, grows sour nnd
tcrosty—refuses to deport Mm*clf os n regular and
discreet devil ought—hot boldly aUirms that thu
’* devil m j t have bis dim”—and like tho arch |>o
telltale, whose patronymic ho bears, cries out, that
lie can do nothiug without gold. Really, Mr. Editor,
1 am *o dull, that I ctm sec no reason in tho wori.l
why publishers of newspapers should be a proscribed
r-«c«—why their docs, like pew-rents,should be die
Inst to lm pnid, and lire m»sl grumbled nt. If the
modeltt practice Is rii;ht, in both (here instance^
my m lions of honesty arc at fault, uml I should bo
glu<i if tomo better inliutud essay ul would sc* ms
right.
DISGRACEFUL.
AVo agree with tho Charleston /V»/no/ilmt“tho
disgraceful scenein the House of Representative*,
of which the Washington Correspondent »r that pa*
per gives nn nceount, w ill lw panned with feelings
of sorrow by every well wisher of his country. If
those who from their authority nml th influence of
their better example, should linve weight In our Na
tional deliberative Assemblies do not interpose to
cheek their prneeedlngs, popular dislike must soon
ri|*en Into contempt. The degeneraey of die lower
hrnm-h of tltn Federal Legislature I* one of the
worst signs nf the times, rapidly ns pnrty spirit I*
divesting our political institutions of tho respect of
tho world.

In Sonnte, Wennesdny, April22d, Mr. Lumpkin
presoitu-d a potlthm «if citlr.ens of Walker county,
Georgia, nnd tho adjoining counties, praying far the
establishment of u post route; which wns referred
to tho Comniittocon tho Post Office and Post Ronds,
General Bankrupt Law.
Mr. Clayton from the Committee on tlio Judici
ary, to which hnd been referred dm various memo,
rials on tho subject ol n general buiikrupt law, re.
ported a hill to establish n uniform system or bank
ruptcy throughout the United Suites.
Mr, C. in somo remarks said that tho hill only
provides for tho case nf voluntary bankruptcy. The
minority would not consent thut this hill should bo
reported, unless it provided for thoeaseof dm com
pulsory bankruptcy oflmlivldiinls, nml also for the
bankruptcy of corporations. As n compromise, the
majority of tho committue projamd dialtliVvo bills
should he reported, providing separately Tor diothreu
classes of cases which the committee bail under con.
shleradon, vie: I,for tlwenseofvoluntary Imnkrupt*
cy; 2, for dm Involuntary bankruptcy of individuals;
nnd 3, for the ense of corporation*; leaving each
member of dm commhtoo to vole on each hill in the
Senate ns lie chose. The majority thought dnq
this was tho most fair method of pruci-oding,
each class would bo dobulcd, nnd voted for or against
upon its own merits. Tills proposition wns declin
ed by dm minority—they insisting un including cor’
porations in imy hill which might lw reported.
Mr. Wall ohs rved dint the minority of the com
mittco dissented ftom that bill. They could no 1
consent to report, a* a uniform min of bankruptcy*
a systom which npplh'tl itsulf altogether to dohlurs|
uml not to creditors—which applied to natural pot
sons,nnd not l-» artificial. Nor couM limy conceive
how tlio complication of dm thtco bmnclios of dm
subject, as mem loned by tho Sonnt-ir from Dulnwnro,
could produce any party excitement, or retard thu
progress of a measure which severed toliu so loudly
called for hy llm country. With n view to present
to the Senate the labors of tho minority of tho com
mittor, he gave milieu dial bo sh ul J ntovo, when
this hill wax called up, to rtHko out idhff It after
thcunuciingglauve, audio insert,in lieu of it, it hill
which he now had tlio Imuor to submit, und-move
that it should he printed.
To n suggestion iViudu hy Mr. C'uy, of Ky., Mr.
Wall said dial tlio committee had reflected on this
subject, nnd were disposed to ask thu Soimtu that
tho hill might bo mavlo llm order of tint duy fot next
Monday week; hut on further reflection, on account
of dm uhsonco of tho Senator from MassnohusotU,
[Mr. Webster,] and llm Senator from New Yoik,
[Mr. Tnllmndge,] they hud concluded not to ntovo
