Tiu ksdav, )ta I'.MIWAI 'M , 1810. Our reason for issuing our paper on Thursday this wee!, is mtreiy to give Mir compositors New Year's day to thempelves. The Am.

Tlie above is worthy of a passing not;.e to exhibit in contrast the course pursued by John W. Davis, our nominal representative, who was elected under the influence of fabricated statements, falee prtlenccs, and groundless charges, always the report of Locofoco aspirants. Does he even imagine now that ho "repre(vnts the feelings and wishes cf a majoritv of hii constituents!" No every man knows that in addition to his having forft iud his promise to resign in a certain contingency, he now remains merely to give parly votes in contempt of the feelingand wishes of the people. We have no doubt if there be a called election pro vided for, as is anticipated and if the h; be induced (bv nave .ai.is, as Urilt-woovl juins a nand bar rT' to divide, Davis will resign to pass off with the first caucus overflow hat eep3ra:es from the true Harrisonian princij)!es of free voting; and by tuch catieuo division and resignation, secure a le-t-iccin.n it jiiissitie.

In the Senate, on Wednesday, much time was occupied in the discussion ol a resolution, offered by Mr. (-ravens, lo know of the Board of Directors cf the State Bank, whether they had appointed a committee to attend the piesent Legislature, and advise with the members rela tive to their legislation on the subject of the State Hank, the discussion tool; a wide range, and embraced the banking and internal improvement policies of the State. Messrs. Cravens, Elliott, Parker, Eggleslon, Carnan, and Chamberlain, advocated the adoption of the resolution; and Messrs. Arion, Ewing, Test, Williams, Nave, and Motfatt opposed it. The resolution was finally adopted by a vote of 26 lo 19. In the afternoon, congiderable debate took place on a resolution declaring, as the sense of the Senate, that it is expedient to divorce the State Bsnk entitcly from the system of internal improvement, and an amendment offered by Mr. Eggleslon.

In the House, business tlius far has been mu h more advanced and a greater amount finally acted upon, than at any session f. r years pa-t. This is more attributable to the inflexible adherence, of the Speaker, to the rules of the House, by which every thing is done in oraer. and each respective portion of business has a regular share of time allotted for its consideration. On Wedntdy considerable discussion aiose upon a motion of Mr. Smith of F., to amend a bdl extending the time of payment to borrowers of ihe college, saline, and surplus revenue funds, so that loans now secured by personal security, iall be secured by real estate, before borrowers shall be entitled to the benefits f :ii.! act. The necessity for such provision was urged, in consideration of the large amounts already lost by ihe insolvency of borrowers and their securities, and the great insecurity of thoe funds from the fluctuations in personal responsibility. It was opposed on tho ground ih.rt it would operate very oppressively on present borrowers, and place the fuiuls entirely in the bands of land holders, to the exclusion of the honest but p.ro tlasses of fnm.-..;i). ihe amenumeut was, however, adopted. Mr. Ch:m'-er fremi :ha committee on Federal Relations reported a Joint Resolution instructing our Senators and Representatives in Congress to vote fr a repeal of the sub-wea-ury law passed at the last session.

Instead of sending you a report of proeetdmgs in tha House of Representatives, I am called upon to send an account of a narrow escape of life and limb, occasion ed by the falling of the new chandelier in the Hall of the House of Representatives. I he accident occurred at ten o'clock or thereabouts, and tho fall was the weight ol seven thousand fivu hundred pounds of b:a?s, and lend, and class, at the distance of some l." f ct. The fall wj3 a trennmdoi.s one, and tlie cra-di like the noise of a laMing house: the echo of tlie hall givin;; an ii.crc;.se. :';.,;ne to the fallen mass.

Tlie weight of the chimb lier fell in the centre of the hall, a part of it fircing a breach in the aperture intended fr ihe furnace. The desks in the vicinity were broken to pieces fortunately the only damage done, beyond the destruction of ihe chandelier. . i The chanJelie was ligWd last night fur the first time since Congress was m session. It was a beautiful piece of work: too gorgi-ous. perhaps, and certainly too expensive, the est being about live thou sand dollar.

We hope n log cabin President will not aspire to the style of riding in the most splendid carriage ever made in this country, as it is said the Philadelphia one is to br. We hav; heard enough about Mr. Van Buren's royal equipage, wlfch has received more or less condemnation fiorn one end of the country to the other. A Republican President should be Republican in his mode of life. If theie splendid carriages are offered to Gen. Harrison, he cannot, of course, well refuse to accept of them ; hul we think some less objectionable mode of testifying' respect to the President elect can be adopted than trying to make him ape the style of foreign noblemen. These are all very well in dieir places, but as we have no nobility in this country, oilier than the nobility of talent and patriotism, we hope the well-in tended token oi respect will be expressed in some other maimer. lioston 7Va;ji.

Strjeant. At arecent jublilee of the whigs of Luzerne county, the following jusi and manly tribute of respect to one of the most distinguished citizens of Penn.-v luar.ia was unanimously adopted; Jiesolved, That in John Sergeant, the. omesi memoer ol tne Uouse ironi l'cim it. 1 1 1 f sylvama, we recognize one of the puieol and ablest statesmen this Commonwealth has ever produced. His enlig':tc:;'?d Report ou the Internal Improvements of this statu made in Ltf0G-7, and of the corner stones of the great system now nearly accomplished, should be remembered to his praise. His constant and enlightened ef-fc-r'.s in Congress, for near twenty years past, in defence of sound whig principles and rP8i.:.nee to Executive usurpations, give him the strongest claims on our eonfid -nc?. His very judicious selection by die great Whig'party, in 12, to run as Vice President ou the ticket with Mr. Clay, shows the jusi estimation in which he wai hdd by ihe Whigs of the Union. As a veteran in the run ks admiring his virtues, we take leave especially to present him tlie homage of our best respects, coupled with the hope, for our country's sake, that l e may be tranfefered to some more elevated station, such as virtuo'is zeal, talents, long and faithful services and saciihces in every well-regulated and jut t Government uniformly command. In General Jackson's time the people were taught to believe that to have plenty of money in the treasury was an advantage 10 the nation. Then the treasury was full. Now, tint it is empty, .Mr. Van Buren says, ' An overflowing treasury, how ever it may be regarded as an evidence of public prosperity, is seldom conducive to the permanent welfare of any people; and experience Ins demonstrated its incompatibilily with the salutary action of poli tical institutions like those of the United States." A comfortable piece of consolation, truly, when the treasury is in such a condition that nol only have many of the public worKs been abandoned for want of money.buteven the tools spades,p!otighs, pickaxes and crowbars have been sold, in some instances al a third of their cost, lo raise the wind I This is very like telling the starving man that occasional abslinauce is good for the digestion."

To those demagogues, however, let no quarter be given. It is the duty of an honest press to naint them in their true colors, and to keep their pictures before the public, as a warning to the credulous and an example to the ambitions and unprincipled. Al ready their dupes begin to execrate them and complain of having hoen cajoled and betrayed; and the tune will come when the names of Martin Van Buhen, and the pampered minions through whoso instrumentality he thought to sustain himself in power, will bo a byeword anel a mockery.

There will be no attempt on the part of tho executive to play upon their passions and their prejudices, toa.rrajr the merchant against the farmer, the manufacturer against the planter, the poor against the ricn; for even supposing the next presi dent were as Jesuitical and unscrupulous as the Machiavel now in power, he would have no motive for such a course. Pledged to a single term, no selfish object of per sonal ambition can connect him with the intrigeea of any faction; and he will therefore be inclined to act honestlv and inde pendently, no less from the circumstances of his position then from the bent of his inclination.
