PENNSYLVANIA LEGISLATURE.

IN SENATE - Feb. 15, 1836.

Mr. Baker, this morning, from the committee appointed by the Senate, in pursuance of a resolution to inquire into and report the facts connected with an alleged attempt to corrupt the integrity, and influence the vote of Jacob Krebs, Esq. reported:

That in the discharge of the duties assigned them, they have examined under oath, Jacob Krebs, Esq. Bord Patterson, Esq. and Jediah Crish, Esq. and received voluntary statements from Henry W. Conrad, Esq. and I. Dunn, Esq. the result of which is a perfect conviction in their minds, that neither the Bank of the United States, nor any agent for it IN THE REMOTEST DEGREE, are implicated in the charge made by Jacob Krebs, Esq. before the Senate on the 10th inst., and that so far as the examination of testimony has gone, the committee are satisfied that neither the Bank or any person connected with it, have improperly interposed to promote the passage of the bill now before the Senate.

The committee will close their labors in a few days, when a full report of the evidence will be submitted.
