That gentleman dying, the government devolved on the Council, whose commission not being sufficiently full in relation to the Lower Counties, we found means nevertheless to preserve the administration in good order, tho' the trouble of it then at the first breaking out of the war was exceeding great. In less than twelve months after Coll. Evans arrived, who being but young and wholly unexperienced, the Proprietor, it seems, had entertained so favourable an opinion of my regard to his interest that he was pleased in his instructions to him to take such notice of me as the Governor canst best judge of by remembering those he gave thy self, which thou wast pleased to show me.

I will by no means question the Governor's sincerity or good intentions for the Proprietors service, but of this I am as sure as that the sun gives day-light, that his (I mean the Proprietors) Interest, is at this juncture in the greatest danger in the Lower Counties, by means of the late and present misunderstanding in one of them. which he soon after saw cause to alter his measures, but the steps he had taken in that time gave such of Now while I have been as thus stated, and still am in fence to the Proprietor that he was removed.

Gibb's Pink, which I justified only by affirming that it was what I should freely doe were it my own case; and I must here declare that this was so far from being in tended, as the Governor has too unkindly interpreted, as a snare to his prejudice, that it is still my sentiment, and what I durst undertake to justify before any competent and impartial judges; for since no false steps could be made by the Governor in such points without deeply affecting the Proprietor at the same time, it can never be imagined, that if I had really an ill design against the Governor (which, however, was far from my thoughts) I would venture so openly to advise in a fase where I must myself be made accountable for it; VOL.

Therefore not only common justice requires it that they should uninterruptedly enjoy every civil right that is granted to them, but further in regard to the Pro should now be spoken to-But if nothing but misfortunes and disappointments must be his Lott, and these be drawn on him by those he depended on to serve him, He, as well as we, must submit to the Rigour of it!

But if on ye. contrary those measures should be continued which the Governor has (I hope thoughtlessly, or passionately, or by unskilful advice, and not deliberately) taken with them; If all those who could serve the Proprietors Interest there by uniting the country to him are rejected under the name of his enemies and exasperated against him by an opprobious treatment from his Lieutenant and by his commission; while none but strangers or men who have never been of any significancy in the place are cloathed with all the Power and are made, instead of Protectors of the Kings Subjects by Law, their open Oppressors through their partiallity, Ignorance, or WilTho we had the Misfortune of receiving no answer to fulness;-I say, with all due submission, if instead of our address of October last, delivered by Mr. Clemt. laying hold of those great advantages now presented of Plumsted, nor of having by our present administration uniting these people to the Proprietary Interest more in any wise cause to signify now to ye.

So we have not by any means had the judged he will be able to clear himself either of the gross-least abatement of those abuses, but instead thereof an est Imprudence and Weakness, or else of a most open breach of trust to the ruin of his honour; nor can this be all, but while the Governor himself suffers in his Reputation, his principal the Proprietor will much more deeply suffer in his Interest. That must sink and fall, and this purely by his having taken C: Gookin for his ffriend, and trusting him in affairs of the highest importance to him, in which he proved so far from serving him according to Instructions and expectations, that he rather choose to Sacrifice his own Honour, and both his own and Principals Interest to a few ill-grounded Resentments, as if now when his Principal the Proprietor is rendered uncapable to serve himself, he must, with all his friends the Council whom the Governour ever till of late used to hearken to, be utterly expunged from having any further place in his thoughts; and yet by all this, no visible Interest whatsoever is served but that of Maryland, who could neither wish nor contrive any thing more in their favour, had they the direction of all the Governor's measures, than those he is now taking. Let me, therefore, beseech the Governor, from what I have said in the first part of this, to summon to his Remembrance the Right I have to call upon him in the Proprietors behalf, and let me without Resentment or slight, implore and Obtest him by all the Regard he has to his own Honour and the Trust reposed in him, and also to common Justice, to have compassion on the Proprietors distressed family, and not involve them further in a Labyrinth of trouble, which will be the certain consequence of these disorders, if not duly remedied, of which I should say much more were it fitt to commit the whole to writing. The Proprietor deserves nothing but well of the Governour, why then should he be loaded with further trouble by him? The Council have generally been very faithful to the Governor as well as to the Proprietor, and can have no private interest in those points to pursue. Why then on such important occasions, should all avenues be wholly shut up to their advice? or how could the Governor suffer by it should they be consulted in filling up every Commission as formerly has been usual! For my own part I shall willingly Retire and resign up every Trust, Yet have here thought myself obliged to give the Reasons why I think I ought at this time to speak, as also why the Proprietors unhappy affairs addition, by being this present Assembly, not vouchsafed neither ye. presence of his hone. ye.

The Board of Directors of this Institution in presenting their fifth Annual Report to their benevolent constituents, have to state to them, that the means which they adopted for the relief of poor women, during the past season, did not differ materially from those which had been employed for several previous seasons. They consisted in the purchasing of materials and employing poor women to make them into muslin shirts, at a moderate compensation for their labour. How far this kind of employment was desirable and beneficial to the class of poor people who partook of it, will be best understood by mentioning that the number of applicants during the season was 990, and that the number of shirts made was 18,831. Of these a great part has been shipped to Southern ports in the United States, for sale. Returns have been made for some parcels at satisfactory prices; but of others, although remittances have been received on account of them, the accounts of sales have not come to hand, and the Board cannot ascertain with so much certainty as on former occasions, the amount of funds which will be at its command for future operations. It is believed, however, that the estimate made in the statement of the operations of the House, presented herewith, viz: five thousand six hundred dollars, may be relied on for this purpose. The Treasurer's account is also presented herewith, from which it appears that the sum of $646 50 has been received during the past season, from subscribers, and that there is now a balance in his hands of $1836 70 in cash, and $1615 in a note due the 4th February next, together $3451 70. Applicants for work for the approaching season have been numerous, and the Board of Directors, desirous to supply their wants, with as little delay as possible, have purchased a considerable quantity of muslin, which has been cut up into shirts, and p epared for delivery to the work people; the new Board will no doubt fix an early day for delivering the work out to them. The board of directors have again pleasure in bearing testimony to the faithful and correct behaviour of the work-people who have had employment from this Institution. Of the large number of shirts delivered to be made, there are very few missing, and the small deficiency may doubtless be attributed to casualites arising from sickness or death. The Asylum for lost children continues to be useful, in affording protection to infant wanderers, and the means of speedily restoring them to their parents, or friends. To the friends and supporters of this institution it is well known that there is a general want of employment for poor seamstresses at this season of the year; and the usefulness of this Society has principally been, from the beginning, the affording of work which is readily done, when a better kind could not be had from other sources. The benefits thereof, although not large, are grateful, coming when most needed, at a time of peculiar stress, and often cheering to the minds of delicate females, because they have saved them from the humiliating necessity of asking alms, while they were able to labour for their bread. The Board have to apprise the Society that Elizabeth Chapman, our late matron, who came into our service at the commencement of the Institution, left us in the month of September last, in order to take charge of another important trust, viz: the office of Matron in the House of Refuge. It is due to Mrs. Chapman to state, that from the beginning to the end of her connexion with this institution, she most faithfully and strictly performed the duties of her situation; and by her industry and good management, aided by those of her daughter, she greatly promoted the interests of the concerns under her care. 163 $10,555 23 The Committee of accounts relating to the operation of the House of Industry, present the following report: The Balance of account with the Treasurer, on the 4th January, 1828, was Since then there has been received from the Treasurer, for the purchase of materials, the payment of workpeople, matron, clerk, rent, and other expenses of the House, & interest on money borrowed 10,078 73 And there has been repaid to him From goods sold, of which ac counts have been received, $5,050 04 And on account of other goods, of which of sales have not yet been received accounts And for interest of money loaned 4,500 00 22 00 9,572 04 506 69 11,061 92 PRESIDENT'S INAUGURAL ADDRESS, DELIVERED BY GENERAL ANDREW JACKSON, lutary lesson of political experience which teaches that the military should be held subordinate to the civil power.

On being sworn into office, as President of the United gation, and our fame in arms; the preservation of our States, on the 4th of March, 1829. Fellow Citizens:-About to undertake the arduous duties that I have been appointed to perform, by the choice of a free people, I avail myself of this customary and solemn occasion, to express the gratitude which their confidence inspires, and to acknowledge the accountability which my situation enjoins. While the magnitude of their interests convinces me that no thanks can be adequate to the honor they have conferred, it admonishes me that the best return I can make, is the zealous dedication of my humble abilities to their service and their good. As the instrument of the Federal Constitution, it will devolve on me, for a stated period, to execute the laws of the United States; to superintend their foreign and their confederate relations; to manage their revenue; to command their forces; and, by communications to the Legislature, to watch over and to promote their interests generally. And the principles of action by which I shall endeavour to accomplish this circle of duties, it is now proper for me briefly to explain. forts, arsenals, and dockyards; and the introduction of progressive improvements in the discipline and science of both branches of our military service, are so plainly prescribed by prudence, that I should be excused for omitting their mention, sooner than for enlarging on their importance. But the bulwark of our defence is the national militia, which, in the present state of our intelligence and population, must render us invincible. As long as our government is administered for the good of the people, and is regulated by their will; as long as it secures to us the rights of person and of property, liberty of conscience, and of the press, it will be worth defending, and so long as it is worth defending, a patriotic militia will cover it with an impenetrable agis.Partial injuries and occasional mortifications we may be subjected to, but a million of armed freemen possessed of the means of war, can never be conquered by a foreign foe. To any just system, therefore, calculated to strengthen this natural safegard of the country, I shall cheerfully lend all the aid in my power. It will be my sincere and constant desire, to observe towards the Indian tribes within our limits, a just and liberal policy; and to give that humane and considerate attention to their rights and their wants, which are consistent with the habits of our government, and the feel In administering the laws of Congress, I shall keep steadily in view the limitations as well as the extent of the executive power, trusting thereby to discharge the functions of my office, without transcending its author-ings of our people. ity. With foreign nations it will be my study to preserve peace, and to cultivate friendship, on fair and honourable terms; and in the adjustment of any differences that may exist or arise, to exhibit the forbear ance becoming a powerful nation, rather than the sensibility belonging to a gallant people. The recent demonstration of publc sentiment inscribes, on the list of executive duties, in characters too legible to be overlooked, the task of reform, which will require, particularly, the correction of those abuses that have brought the patronage of the Federal Government into conflict with the freedon of elections, and the counteraction of those causes which have disturbed the rightful course of appointment, and have placed or continued power in unfaithful or incompe In such measures as I may be called on to pursue in regard to the rights of the separate States, I hope to be animated by a proper respect for those sovereign members of our Union; taking care not to confound the pow-tent hands. ers they have reserved to themselves, with those they have granted to the confederacy. The management of the public revenue-that searching operation in all governments-is among the most delicate and important trusts in ours; and it will, of course, demand no inconsiderable share of my official solicitude. Under every aspect in which it can be considered, it would appear that advantage must result from the observance of a strict and faithful economy.This I shall aim at the more anxiously, both because it will facilitate the extinguishment of the national debtthe unnecessary duration of which is incompatible with real independence-and because it will counteract that tendancy to public and private profligacy, which a profuse expenditure of money by the Government, is but too apt to engender. Powerful auxiliaries to the attainment of this desirable end, are to be found in the regulations provided by the wisdom of Congress, for the specific appropriation of public money, and the prompt accountability of public oficers. With regard to a proper selection of the subjects of impost, with a view to revenue, it would seem to me that the spirit of equity, caution and compromise, in which the Constitution was founded, requires that the great interests of agriculture, commerce, and manufactures, should be equally favoured; and that, the only exception to this rule, should consist in the peculiar encouragement of any products of either of them, that may be found essential to our national independence. Internal improvement, and the diffusion of information, so far as they can be promoted by the constitutional acts of the Federal Government, are of high importance. In the performance of a task thus generally delineated, I shall endeavour to select men whose diligence and talents will ensure, in their respective stations, able and faithful co-operation-depending, for the advancement of the public service, more on the integrity and zeal of the public officers, than on their numbers. A diffidence, perhaps too just, in my own qualifications, will teach me to look with reverence to the examples of public virtue left by my illustrious predecessors, and with veneration to the lights that flow from the mind that founded, and the mind that reformed our system. The same diffidence induces me to hope for instruction and aid from the co-ordinate branches of the government, and for the indulgence and support of my fellow citizens generally. And a firm reliance on the goodness of that Power whose providence mercifully protected our national infancy, and has since upheld our liberties in various vicissitudes, encourages me to offer up my ardent supplications that He will continue to make our beloved country the object of his divine care and gracious benediction. HON. MATTHIAS HOLLENBACK. The Hon. MATTHIAS HOLLENBACK, whose death was announced in your paper of last week, was born of Ger man parentage, in Hanover, upon the Swatara, then Lancaster, now Lebanon co. Pennsylvania. Here he was innured to all the sufferings and privations incident to a frontier settlement at that early day. Possessed of a firm and vigorous constitution, and endued by nature with a strong, active and enterprising mind, at the age of seventeen, he joined the first adventurous party, who Considering standing armies as dangerous to free came to make a permanent settlement, under the augovernments, in time of peace, I shall not seek to en-thority of Connecticut, in the Valley of Wyominglarge our present establishment, nor disrega:d that sa- This was in the autum of 1769. From this period the history of his long and eventual life, is indentified with the history of this part of the country. In the controversy between Pennsylvania and Connecticut, he actively and firmly adhered to the latter, under whose auspices he had embarked his youthful fortunes, and whose claims he regarded as paramount to every other, until the right of soil and the right of jurisdiction to the country were decreed by a competent tribunal to be in the former. From that moment he yielded obedience to the constitution and laws of Pennsylvania, and contributed all in his power to quiet the turbulent, and to reconcile the disaffected to the legitimate authorities. The dispute between Pennsylvania and Connecticut, had assumed all the characteristics of a civil war, and notwithstanding the conciliatory recommendations and remonstrances of the continental congress; it was continued during the revolutionary struggle. Whilst the poor and destitute settlers were suffering on the one side from the common enemies of the country, the British, the savage Indians, and the worse than savage Tories, they were attacked on the other, and endured equal distress, by military parties under the authority of Pennsylvania. Thus surrounded with difficulties, and dangers, calculated to appal the stoutest heart, at a period too when many good, but timid, men, doubted, hesitated, and feared; young Hollenback, in want of every thing but personal courage and patriotic feeling, was approached by one of those agents of the mother country, whose bland and fascinating manners and duplicity of heart marked him out as a fit emissary for "treason, stratagem and spoil." On the one hand, the efforts making to free the country from British dominion, was represented as entirely hopeless, and that upon failure, poverty, shame and death, every where awaited the active partizan; on the other, by espousing the cause of the British king, money, office and honor would be immediately conferred, and a life of ease and independence secured. The youth stood firm. He was not to be allured from the path of duty. He had taken his resolution, staked his all upon the issue, and was willing to abide the result. In 1776 (perhaps the following year,) two companies were raised in Wyoming, in one of which young Hollenback was appointed a lieutenant. He was active and successful in filling up and preparing his company for active service, and, shortly after joined the army under General Washington in the State of N. Jersey. His merits were soon discovered and properly appreciated by the General, who frequently consulted him in relation to the frontier settlements and the means of defending them against the incursions of the enemy. He participated in all the sufferings of our half-fed and half clothed troops during the winter campaign in the state of New Jersey, and was on several occasions employed by the General in the execution of confidential agencies. 165 the valley. Every preparation was made in their power to repel their invaders. About 350 men marched out to meet the enemy. They were drawn into an ambuscade-The result is known-Wyoming was reduced to widowhood and orphanage. About 50 only escaped this disastrous battle, of whom the subject of this notice was one. Articles of capitulation, in which security and protection of life and property were stipulated, were no sooner made than they were violated on the part of the faithless and blood-thirsty enemy. What property could not be carried away was burned and destroyed, and the remnant of the settlers were driven naked and houseless to the surrounding mountains. Lieutenant Hollenback, whose property was all destroyed, still clung to the valley and participated in all its sufferings until the conclusion of the war. Upon the settlement of the controversy between Pennsylvania and Connecticut, and upon the promulgation of the laws of Pennsylvania in the disputed territory of 1786, Mr. Hollenback was chosen and appointed one of the Justices of the Courts of Luzerne County; and upon the adoption of the Constitution, he was re-appointed an associate Judge, which office he sustained with reputation till the time of his decease. He was honoured with the command of a regiment by his fellow citizens-a military office, being almost the only one in Pennsylvania compatible with that of a Judge. In all the great political struggles which have agitated the country, Judge Hollenback was actively and firmly attached to the cause of the people. In the recent conflict, although most of those around him with whom he had been accustomed to act entertained different views, and although he was exceedingly enfeebled by disease, he procured himself to be carried to the poll, and there for the last time, exercised the right of suffrage in favour of the distinguished individual who has succeeded to the presidency. He was firmly persuaded that the interests of the country demanded this preference, and he acted accordingly. It is believed that he was not a member of any Christian church; but it is known that he reverenced the religion of the cross. Throughout his life he contributed liberally to the support of that communion and its pastors to which he was conscientiously attached, and it is feared it will long feel the want of his supporting hand. His life was a life of temperance, industry, and attention to his business, the full fruits of which he enjoyed in almost uninterrupted health until his last illness, and an ample fortune. From the incidents of his life the young may draw useful lessons for the regulation of their conduct, and from his death all may learn, that man is mortal-That neither riches, nor honours, nor virtue, nor age, can form any shield against the fell destroyer. [Wilkesbarre Dem. EDUCATION. We doubt whether any general system of education could be much more expensive to many of the counties of this commonwealth, than the system now in operation, miserable and defective as it is; and indeed taking the benefits into consideration, there is no doubt in our minds that the most effective, though actually requiring a perhaps greater expenditure of money, yet in the end would be found to be the cheapest. Such was the patriotism and spirit of the Wyoming settlers, that, during the short period, when they were not immediately threatened with attacks from the enemy, almost every efficient man among them joined the regular army and left their families without protection. This calm portended a storm. The defenceless state of the frontier invited aggression. The valley again began to suffer from the tomahawk, scalping knife, and fire brand; and early in 1778, it was discovered that a horde of British, Indians and Tories were collected upon the Susquehannah frontier, and preparing to pour down upon the valley of Wyoming,and exterminate the defence less settlers. The officers from Wyoming, urged the General to send a force for its protection, or to permit the two companies drawn from this settlement to return, for the purpose of defending their aged and helpless Franklin parents, wives and children. But such was the situation York of the army that no adequate force could be spared.- Cumberland An intense anxiety was felt among the officers, some obtained furloughs, and some resigned, and returned to To enable our readers to form some idea upon this subject, we annex the cost of education of poor children only, in several of the counties of this state during the last year.
