Brudnax from the Select committee on Slaves and Free Negroes, reported a bill to the Legislature devising the ways and means for deporting free negroes, and such as may become free, to Liberia. The bill is a long one, but its principal features are, the appropriation of $100,000 for the current year, and $200,000 per annum, for succeeding years, to the transportation of free negroes to Africa. The Governor, Executive Council, Treasurer, are constituted a Central Board to superintend the execution of the act. with power to constitute other Boards at Norfolk, Fredericksburg, Petersburg or other places, to aid in the superintendence. While enough of free negroes are found willing to go, (or such as may be emancipated for the purpose) to absorb tiie annual appropriation, coercion is not to be resorted to, otherwise it is.

The op ponents of General Jackson have kept up a perpetual din on these subjects. hey nave oeen unable to puint out anv errors in his policy, either foreign or domestic, but have constant! been clamoring about men's being turned out of office for opinion's sake about re wards and punishments." Uuw do these men reconcile their professions with their practice? The present Clay Senate of Maryland has turned out Louis Gassaway, the Clerk to that body, for no other offence than that of being opposed to a change of the administra tion. Mr. Uassaway is a religious, ready man, as regular in the perform ance of his duties as a clock, and we ha zard nothing in saving he was as ueSi lualiiied as sny man in the s'ate for the station he filled, and that he discharged the duties with fidelity and despatch. lie is poor anil lias a family.

Mr. Thaxter submitted a resolve authorising the appointment of a com mission to ascertain the number ol In dians in that commonwealth the state of their morals. with a view to the improvement of their condition, which ie stated to be as degraded as that of iny other race, of beings on the face of the earth. Mr. Thaxter quoted several passages from the statutes regulating the Indian tribes in that siate, and in the course of his remarks asserted that, from his knowledge of slavery in the Southern states, the slave o'" Georgia had more liberty than the Indian of Massachusetts.

If this be a fact, we wonder whe he overflowing humanity of Mr. Fer- rtt, and his brother politicians which poured such floods of lamentation, over the Georgia Indians, has been hidden so ong when according to Mr. Thaxter here was such loud calls for its exercise at home. Bait. licpub.

February 6. tc ffiHg Ciettysbiurg, February V. Cj A cenaiderable number of remonstrances have been presented to the Legislature, gainst the formation of a new County out of parts of Adams and York. Gj" On Wednesday last Mr. Ruble reported a bill to incorporate the Adams county Bail-Road Company.

C3 The House of Representatires of the United States have considerable difficulty in fixing the ratio of representation in that House, under the late census. The Committee to whom the subject was referred, reported a hill, allowing a member for even- 48,000 inhabitants. After debating the matter, occasionally, for several weeks, and trying various numbers, a motion to strike out 48,000 and insert 44,000 prevailed, by a vote of 98 to 96, Wednesday last but, on Thursday, this rote was reconsidered, on motion of Mr. M'-Ktnnan, of Pa 100 to 94, and the question, therefore, still remains undecided. The present number is 213, which, it appears to us, is large enough.

At 48,000 we believe it would be increased to 237, and at 44,000 to 259. IIarrisbukg, February 3.

STATES. In the Senate, yesterday. Mr. Burden offered a resolution, insiructing our Senators and requesting our Representatives in Congress, to use their exertions to obtain a renewal of the charter of the Bank of the United during the present ses-ion of Congress. with such alterations, if any be necessary, as mav secure the right of the States.

The resolution was read the first time, and will probably come up on second reading to-day.

A number of farmers left the of for the town of in search of plaster of Paris, during this winter. They had snugly placed there mattresses, as is usual among teamsters, around tiie stove iu the bar-room of the house they put up at and laid themselves down for a nap. Sometime about 10 or 11 o'clock at night, the mail arrived, bringing a newspaper containing an abstract of the provisions of Stephen Gir-ani's will.

Some chap, who had been out taking the air. at the time our friends iiad got half asleep, stepped in, seized the newspaper ami commenced reading its provisions in a most stents) rious tone. The first article granting $30,000 to the Pennsylvania Hospital, bv its magnitude, brought a llamiiig Anti-masonic leader, to a sitting posture, with eyes, ears, and mouth wide open, and the next clause of S20.U00 to ihe Deaf and Dumb, excited liis especiai admiration, and brought him to his feet, with the exclamation, as ever such charity known?"
