always with diffidence accepted the high distinction how much mote so was it obligatory on It tin in the acceptance of this revered confidence of his fellow citizens to approach the Gubernatorial Chair with motives which could only be appreciated by Ins determination to discharge his duty whilst relying oo the in-diligence of the people He said he was aware that he came to the ufiice in time of high excitement when we ere oppi eased from without and had unhappy differences within when the State by the late pro-ceedinga of the Convention was thrown upon her sovereignty and when the

more than treble the emolument attached to the station whicltlhey now seek There is yet no positive information as to the coursft which the Pennsylvania Legislature will take in (lie e-lectionof a Senator of the United Stales in the room of Mr Dallas who is only elected to (he end of the present Congress The person who will be the Speaker of the House of Representatives in that State for the present session is a National Republican in politic and has received the votes of the Jackson party the Anti-Masona having refused to give him their vole Perhaps the same course may be taken in reference the choice of a Senator but all is at present dark upon the subject The electoral ticket of the State will no-doubt be cast for Jackson and Wilkins Mr Van Buren canngt obtain it It is supposed that a new Bill to regulate the duties on Imports will be reported at the present session with view to further reductions but it seems to me very doubtful whether any bill involving such important principles nnd such great' results can pass from incipiency to maturity during a sltoit session The ft lends of the protective system will make a fierce united and persevering opposition to ei ery attempt to destroy the principle for which they contend i and I believe thateven the vote of Pennsylvania will not be found to sustain the views on' this point The solicitude concerning thn movements-in the South continue! to increase rather than diminish It is feared that nothing can be done which will prevent the Nullifiers from pushing (heir unwise and unpatriotic purposes to a fatal consummation oolese tbere-canbe found in the State itself virtqe enough to resist with success the evil dispositions which are afloat there The tone of the Message on the subject of the Tariff Internal Improvements and the Bank and tb Publh Lands has giveo very great offence to many Northern members who are even friendly to General Jackson some of whom complain of lietng deceived The Execn-tive opinion however it cannot be doubted will produce a considerable conversion among those who biting no settled opinions adopt them which are likely to be the most profitable The Bank is supposed to be Irrecoverably gone It is even deserted by Mr MLank the Secretary of the Treasury and the effect of the imputations cast upon tlie estabbshmeot by tbe President and his Secretary will occasion serrons doubt abroad as well as at home as to the purity with which its concerns may have beenadministez'ed tel the proofis adduced to the contrary be oever so strong Such ia the influence of

his work will readily acquiesce with him for in no instance can we find a theatrical performance of almost any sort which tends either to vice Cur immorality but on the contrary they always end iu lb triumph of virtue and the cause of right We will bring' to the notice two dramas that were performed in our city within the last six months and the the latter translated and altered from the French by
