January 18, 1S42. DSSIK.AEl'3 '7A3AA AT PUBLIC SALE. Will be sold at public aale, on Thursday, the 24th day ot February next at the public house of James Schall, in the borojgh of Wiightsville, York county: A TRACT OF LAND containing Two Hundred and Sixty Acre, about one half of which is first rate Limestone Land, under good fence, and in a high state of cultivation, on wbiali is a thriving young Apple Orchard of choice grafted fruit. The improvements are a Weatherboarded Log 1 furnishes the strongest reason in favor of the course I suggest, tnd fully justifies its adoption. The following paragraph from the message shows that the state baa lost 11,254,516, by the failure of (lie last Legislature to carry out the recommendation of Governor Porter, relative to the sale of Bank Stock owned by the Commonwealth.

We trust that the renewal ot the recommendation at the close of the paragraph will meet the prompt attention and confirmative action of (the Legislature. The stock will now sell for about 9700,000 (the Governor values them at 802, 424 but so large an amount thrown at once nto the market would of course have a depreciating tendency) but, if kept another year they 1y becom worthless as thertock of the United States Bank, which is now selling at 83 per share, or the Girard Bank, which will not bring itiore than a fraction over $11 for 850 paid in. l.iiave recommended to three several legislatures the propriety of selling the stock which the State owns in the Bank of Pennsylvania, tho Pniladelphia Bank, anti the Farmers Bnnk, and used eveiy argument that I could bring to bear upon the subject, to convince th-in of the pro priety of separating the Commonwealth from the banks, and of disposing of the stock she holds in them. I recommended it in a message, communicated on the 7th ofj March, 1 837, on which day the market price of said storks were, for the Bank of Pennsylvania 9496 for 9400 paid; Philadelphia Bank 9103 for 9100 paid; and the Farmers and Mechanics Bank $62 for 950 paid. The same recommendation was again made on the 8th of Jan.

1840, at winch time the following was the price ot said stocks for ihe Bank of Pennsylvania $410; Philadelphia Btnk 99j; Farmers and Mechanics Ban k954. A Similar recommendation was mado 6th Jsriuary 1941, on wlnoh day the follow ing sales were made, viz: for Bank of Pennsylvania 412: Philadelphia Bank 9l0O; Farmers and Mechanics Bank 52 making ihe said stocks, held by the Commonwealth worth 2,157,970. By the last sales made during the present mntjlli, Ihe market value of those slocks are, for the Bank of Pennsylvania 9160, Philadelphia Bank 48; Farmers and Bank $30; making the present total worth of those stocks by Which it is seen that by the course pursued by the last legislature, in refusing to authorize a sal-, the loss sustained by the State on those stocks, amounts to the formidable sum of 1 ,254, 546. I renew the same rerommeiiLatioti to you, for the given from time to time, in mv several communications on that 'Vffisoldon the prem.veaon jt2J February next, at 6 clock. M.

SPITTING OF BLOOD, is Another dangerous symptom of -Pulmonary Affection, and difficult to arrest when neglected it commences with cough, copious expectation, which consist of bright frothy matter, or black, and clotted with blood there is mostly some fever, headache, palpitation of the heart, flushes of heat, and redness of the cheeks; difficulty of breathing, soreness of the throat, and saltish taste in the mouth.

Sic. Dr. DUNCANS EXPECTORANT REMEDY will be found to arrest this complaint. One Single Bottle, in many cases, will answer if used at the first attack, but when neglected, it may require many more.

This medicine, we acknowledge, in re- cominentfing to out readt-rs, possesses won derful efficacy in all nervous disorders, fits, headachs, weakness, heaviness and lowness of spirit, dimmness of sight, confused thoughts and wanderings of the mind, vaoots and melancholy, and all kinds of hysteric complaints, gradually go off by the use of this medicine; in sickness of the stomach, flatulencies and obstruction, it is a safe, powerful and efficacious remedy. The fiist symptoms of Us good effects are serenity and cheerfulness, and as a preventive, alterative, and purifier of the blood, it has not its equal in the world.

It is admirably calculated to afford relief to restore a broken and decayed constitution to its pristine health and vigor. Public Ledger. Be careful to get the genuiue.

A log cabin suit lias just ueen decided in the New York Superior Court. The plaintiff during the Harrison campaign had expended eighteen hundred dollars oa a log cabin, Irecied for the purpose of furnishing i lie Whigs with a meeting place, it did not prove profitable to the proprietor and he was about to pull it down, when one ol the whig party promised to raise and pay him one thousand dollars if he kept it open until after he election. He did so. 6ul after the election lie found the promise was all talk and no cider, he could not get the money and so brought an action. The Court decided that it was a regular and legal contract between the parties, and the jury give a verdict of one ilmustnd dlars.

These were whig promises. Anri what have been their performances? President Tyler in bis annual message, informs Congress that the expenditures of the government for the fiscal year, will be over thirty two millions nf dollar This is nineteen millions of dollars more than it cost to support the government of Mr. Adams, according to the statement of the whig orator- and presses.
