The liro war early discovered and soon got nnderr but it would seem, not entirely quenched. the boat had reached Detroit, the smothered fire again hurst forth and in an instant Ihe whole fire was one entire sheet of flame.

How mucb I am gratified by tho welcome which has been extended to me by all classes of my fcllo.v citizens, I will not attempt to describe. I pray you, however, gentlemen, to be assured that no incident which has occurred to me here, and no incident which has ever occurred to me, has affected mo more deeply than this acknowledgment of your favorable regard, growiug out of my action in the painful case to which you have referred.

I know that you have over, rated ihe merit of that action, yet I do rejoice in every occasion to vindicate the democratic principles of our gov-eminent, and I have seen that the principle involved in this last occasion, is one upon which there is too often a tendency to encroach. I cannot but feel that the express, ions to which I have listened proceed from hearts as gen. crous and unsophisticated, as tho expressions themselves are ardent and unmeasured. The principle of equal toleration of religious creeds, lies at the base of our Constitution, and side by side with it, is that of equality of social and political rights. As I have understood the theory of our government, it was intended not only to secure to na.

tivc citizens life, liberly and the pursuits of happiness, but to offer au asylum also Ui the oppressed of all lands. With regard to those who avail themselves nf tin: invitation thus sent abroad throughout the earth, 1 know, as a magistrate, of no rule of action but to practice that equality which the laws prescribe as a citizen, none but to enquire what would he tho rights and privileges 1 should think myself entitled to demand, in any country whose in. stitutions were established for the purpose of affording Ihe greatest measure of social, political and religious liberty to all who might seek their protection. As an American citizen, I should certainly expect, in any such country, whether Catholic or Protestant, free toleration and enjoyment of my religious faith and worthip. That toleration and en.

joymeiit I would secure to you, and to all others who may seek a refuge here and our institution, are unworthy the veneration you have so justly expressed, and I entertain for them, if it cannot safely be allowed. Accept, gentlemen, my grateful acknowledgements, and my ardent wishes that your pursuits may bo rewarded with success, and that the God of your fathers and mine, may crown your lives with prosperity and happiness. From the llarrisburg Chronicle. ASTOUNDING AND HORRIBLE DISCLOSURE. Wo most earnestly call tho attention of the people of Pennsylvania to the horrible disclosures made below.

If a baser conspiracy was ever contemplated, we have yet to hear of it. Tho person giving tin. testimony is no partisan a man of much reputation and high standing, and was one of Gon. Patterson's principal officers, hen that officer marched to llarrisburg to quell llio rioters. Let tiie people read and retlect over these horrid disclosures lut them pass judgment at the next election on a party, a leading member of which would, for the sake of aiding tiiat party in its wicked purposes, thus contemplate, the destruction of human life by the thousand.

A. J. Pleasonton appeared before the committee, and being duly sworn, according to Jaw, dcHscd as follows CJ-U' stion. to state any conversation you had with any person connected with the late disturbances at Harris, burg or a member of either branch of the Legislature in relation to the intention of the Committee of Safety those ho acted with tin in, tearing up the railroad, or any other act, si as to prevent the troops under Geii. Palbrson's command reaching llarrisburg.

Answer. 1 do not know hat the intention nf the com-m fee or those connect, with tin in was I had no con-v. -nation any one on the subject of the intention of those persons; I have no knowledge nf any thing done in Philadelphia, except such as is derived from common rumor. Il was currently reported every where in Philadelphia, before the troops left for Ilarnshnrg, that they would lie prevented from marching, or mould be oltrurted in their progress to the State snd the means to se-contpb-h this was said to be the removal of some of the rails on the railway. There was much excitement in Philadelphia on the reception of the Governor's orders, snd the rumors assumed the complexion of the political parlies who originated them.

I had been informe by Cm. that the persons alio Wire moved the rads were prevent, from so doing by tiie ml, rf. rence of some of the otr.etrs of the volunteers ihemselves, who to tin in the injury that would result to their fiHinis from the execution of such an intention. lih rt.on bv Mr. Barclay.

I took the irrouud, at the extra session, that if the bank notes were tefuc converted into specie, as abeve suggested I it immaterial to nic whether specie tlin noirsof snecic Having banks were to be received the practical ellect would bo the same ill both cases.

Mr. Wright, in his speech at the extra session, said, hiiiiself, lie agreed with the view of this matter which ho understood his honorable colleague to take, that in case tho depositcs were confined lo the safe keeping of the olh-cere of tho government, it was a question ul much less interest to the banks than seemed to be generally supposed. If the banks were not made the depositories, it could not be supposed their notes, if made receivable, would bo re. tained for any length of time in safe keeping, it would be a nccemary result of this mode of keeping tho pubuo funds, that nil bank note rcceired mutt be prevented at short intertills far payment and he could not see that it would be any very valuable favor to tlie banks, as a permanent system, to receive their notes merely for the pur. pose of immediate presentation and At tho present session, Mr.

Wright said, If the notes of the banks continue to be received in payment of tho public duos, and the depositories are directed, as in that case they unquestionably would be, to call frequently and at short interrals for tho ballances against the banks, and to demand specie for those balances, this must operate as a powerful cheek upon all the banks in the vicinity of those de. positorics here tlie collections are large." roin tlie above quotations, anu non. pu.v.-which they come, 1 truit there can be no long -r any doubt on the publ lnmu, as lo me manner in Treasury bill, it ittliau occonie a in im tt rarrir.l into tft'ect and I leave it to tho judgement of every rational man lo say, whether the receipt of the notes ol specie paying banks under such.rcgulations, and the diseret onaiv power claimed by the Ewcutive, is not far worse than the positive and absolute receipt of nolv 1 III the latter case, the banks would only sutler in consequence of their specie being drawn from them, and deposited in theso Sub-Treasury vaults, by which Ihey would be disabled to extend those accommodations to which the mercantile class is entitled. In the form, or, it would subject them to the same inconvenience by the presentment of their notes for specie, and put it in the pow- Kv.ir.utivc to null down or build-up any uanK lie pleased from the manner in which he could accumulate its bills if it continued lo do business, and suddenly present I hem for specie. The same remark is also applicable lo Mr.

Calhoun's proposition (whilst bank notes are received) by which one sixth was to be received in specie tho first year, two second year, and so on till the whole receipts of the public revenue should be in gold and silver. Who can fail to see that, under such a system, every bank throughout the country may be destroyed, and all those evils, which have been so fully depicted, during the dis. cussionof this question, inflicted on tlie community. Itis in fact establishing a gold and silver currency for officers and contractors of Government, aud leaving the peopio at the mercy of the Executive or the of the Treasury. The banks cannot resume nor ooutiitue specie pay-ments, if they continue to do business, under such a system.

Nay, thcycann.it hvo but by Ksecutivo clemency. The great evil consists in tho adoption of tho Sub.Trcae- ury system in any form. That dune, all others lollow. There no way "in which tho objections to its adoption can bu overcome. It is not capable ot being made by any amendments either useful harmless.

I hope the conn, try will not be deceived by the present form of the bill. It was right to strike out tlie specie clause, if he could, because that was giving a blow which destroyed what little eongr.iity it hud, and left it in a shape in which it was hoped none could seriously think of passing it. It containc powers which lead directly to an unmitigated despotism of opinion. Yon have not failed to seo, in reft renee- to the progress of this measure, the dangerous extent of Executive influence-. You cansearcely imagine the evils which may fullow llic exercises of the additional powers proposed to bo conferred by this bill on that de.

partment of the government Away, then, with these vaults and safes, these bars and bolls. Let the Government deposito its funds in Found institutions, and le-t be received the notes ol such banks, ai the deposito hanks will agree to credit to the Government as cash. Let the Government then make its drafts on those depositories, and let the holders draw such currency as they desire- I am utterly astonished at the manner in which this measure is attempted to be forced upon Congress and the people. Il the collection of the myenuo in gold and silver be so essential lor llic g. neral Government, why is it not equally so for every state government The same argu.

ment would apply in one case as in the older, Mat would he said to such a proposition in the state of New York 7 I believe it was entertained at Tammany Hall. Put what would the people of tiie State say What win, Id the leg islature fov It coin.l scare, ly command a roicc or a vote with the one or tiie other. Who is that would require onr cannl tolls, our auction and salt duties, and our taxes to be roil.cti-d in sjiecic Mi. Ii a law, it it were passed, could not be unforced. The sinus remark is apph.

to every stale in me i num. --vitn i my wnal is goo.t eno'irii lor III alio iiil- niaies, is guoo enough for the General Government. I hope, then, the community not be deceived as to tin- haraet. of th.s bid. It does not contain a single mitigating ature.

American Uso Src.Tr.ATons Specie Circi i.ar Vnring the adnuuistration ral Jackon, Attorney General lhitler. Senator Wether with President an liu. mnt of tlie influential naHizans of the re ii Mn i i tlirnu.crhouttho Union, conceived the idea ol amassing princely fortunes by means cf associating their wealth aud monopolizing an me bo required for immediate settlement and cultivation by the numerous emigrants flocking to our country. Ihey had before them tho cxamplo of the Hulland Land om- niirplinsn consisted of a mn-rlr. tract in the Vatc'of New York, but from which ample dividends were annually distributed among its stockholders.

The Holland Tympany was a small retail shop in comparison with the mammoth concern of these government speculators under 'he name of "Me American Land Company." Attorney tit. m-pnarcd tho articles of association, and Senators, members of Congress, cabinet ministers, and most all the officers of government throughout the Union, became stockholders, fcomo comnnmca money for stork, while others who were immediately con. iiectcd with tho administration, and were supposed to be ofcrcat importance to the operations of the company, wro allowed to pay in that new currcnry-if Tlie company thus organized had its agents employed in every sect ion where public lands were in (he market and the best lands were speedily taken up. Township af-tcr township thus fell into tlie hands of these monopolists; bo that the emigrants wore obliged to pas through a wilder, ness of land belonging to tho "American Land Company" to waste lands of the government, not yet taken up. The emigrant had therefore to choose, whether he would pass on, through the lands of this company, to purchase lands at government prices, or settle on tho possessions of the American Land Company, at an advance in price which the speculators had added to tho original cost.

The agencies of this company were established by the side of the government land receivers. Many of the emigrants paid tho advance, and settled upon the lands of tlie company vet, too many, to suit tho rapacity of the speculators, plunged into the wilderness, and passed through the company's lands to the lands of the government. This would not do. Tho American Land Company coveted all the money of the emigrants. That influence, therefore, winch was expected from 'menibisrs of the cabinet, senators, ice, was called into ac.

Jack. wn, and tho enecie circuit as the consequence, lly thin circular, the receivers of money for Government Lands, were directed to receive nothing but specie; while the receivers of the American Land Company were allowed to receive pood bank The difficulty of obtain- Wi" specia and transporting it to these remote regions, was sogrcat, that the emigrant fooh found that his purchases of the American ljund Company, At a great advance upon goy.mincnt prices, were more advantageous tlian to obtain gpecia and buy of Government.

J-mm tlii time, hile every other interest of the coun. try was luti'cring by an unnatural course of tilings, tho "A-meruan Land Company" was coining money and Attor. noy iiencial llutler was able to sell out his interest at an ilmiM of twenty. live per cent, as was said, and never de-nit 1.

Chamiing on Self Culture. Coi'srv Convention. At a late meeting of the Whig Committee of Hrooklyn, it was resolved that a Convention held at I'lalbush, on Thursday the 19th and that the several towns in the county be invited l.

1,1 and send a. many delegates as they may deem advisable. It is full time that our friends were anvc to men The county is certainly ours, if our friends but exert their i'rength. A perfect unanimity of feeling in regard to the necessary arrangements an absence of all narrow feelings and jealousies, a readiness of every man to do his part liberally and without objection will place us in a substan-tial majority, which every year will only tend to increase and confirm. Let the towns immediately call their meetings, and let us see which will shew the most spirit in regard to its dele gates.

We shall Hold every wing uirougnou. to a full accountability iTI.is clection'is lo be to tho Whig party of tho State, a decisive one. With the Assembly overwhelmingly in our fa. vor, our opponents contrived to thwart our best measures, by their bare majority in tho Senate. The acta of that Senate arc before llio peopio for rebuke.

We trust Ihe whig party will never imitate them, even to visit indignation on the heads of those violators of law and of decency Wo shall have the Senate. The law will be vindicated, in banishing from place Ihoso who have been guilty of the contemptible policy or holding over, by and with the ad. vice and consent of the Senate, The supremacy of the law will again bo asserted, and the heart of every good citizen will joico. Brt in Ihe certainty of failing in the Senate, our oppo. nenti will make every effort for tho Assembly.

They know that tiie whig, are not so rigorous in applying parly rules as an their own people. For this reason they may seek to make a division from our ranks, by nominating perhaps some respectable Dutchman, who has many relatives, in confidence that whigs in the county will yield up their political duty to their feelings of family and personal attach, i ment. i Tb feeling probably last year lout us a candidate. r- i U- tnlin otirn ll.nl Wetruw our wnig menus it docs not prevail at the coining election.

With a full and undivided vote, we shall elect both our Assembly candidates. F'rom the spirit already manifested in Brooklyn, we have only further to say, that we look for a reciprocal feeling from our friends in the country, to satisfy us that the csmpaign will be glorious.

This was au ac tion brought on Wednesday last before the Court of Common Pleas in the city of Nuw York, by Mr. Darnel, a gen-tleman connected with the Sunday News, against William Parker, the defendant, a Sunday officer for the Jd ward, for an assault and false imprisonment.

1 were ordered ty jvir. rararr to uesist. nit ij. to the newspaper office and entered their complaint to Mr. Barnctt, (foreman of ihe establishment) who miiiiediaU ly repaired to tho Aslor House, and after a short re-mon-strancc with the Sunday officer took a bundle of the pa- lK from one of the boys and offered them for sale to llic pawcrs by, in which occupation Mr.

Parker ordered him raviB if he did not he should take him lo llic po. lice. -Mr. Ilarnct disputed Ins right lo do so which re-suited in his sciiure. Ilo was taken before Justice Hop-son, who refused to receive him as a prisoner on such a charge, and he was discharged.

For tins Harnet commenced his suit. Able counsel were procured on both sides, and after a long and tedious argument as to the observance of the Sabbatii, the rights of a citizen, the laws, constitution, ic. the case wa. submitted lo the jury, alio brought in a seal-cd verdict for the defendant.
