For nearly two years past, the State bee been entirely free from the ownership or management of canals and railroads, arid the gratifying result, thus far, is, that her public debt is now less than it has been since 184% and is decreasing at the rate of nearly $i,000,000 per annum. It ie now morally certain, !hat nothing but the gros sest mismanagement of the financial inter. etts cf the State, can prevent its sure aral speedy extinguishment. Why should not Penn-ylvania press onward until she is en. tirely (tee from debt ? She is no longer en gait d in the construction of great works of internal improvement, nor is she the pro prietor of railroads and canals. Relieved Of these, govertnentai action in grnatly plifiet4 and is now happily limited to auto jects of a purely govermental character fiaving ceased to be interested in crdinaiy business pursuits, it ie her plain duty' to devote her best energies to relieving her people from the burden of an onerous debt. When this great result shall have b e e n ac complished, the necessary expenditures of an economical administraion of the goy. eoment,can be readily met without the im. position of a State Tax on real or personal estate—the remaining sources of revenue being more than sufficient for all legitimate purposes, Until that end, so anxiously looked to, is secured, true wisdom, as well as sound policy, dictates,that our rereurces • should be carefully husbanded—that none of our present sources of revenue should he cut off or diminished—that all Cepartments of government should consult a proper aproper economy—that sal extravagant gent and unnecessary appropriations should be ate ided--and that every new scheme for embarrassing the Treasuay should meet with marked condemnation. Eneouraging,as are the resul's of the past two years, it must not be forgotten, that we have but just commenoad the pa yment of the principal of our debt ; and that to prevent a misapplication of the public fi 'Mein, and thereby insure a continuance elite reduction, from year to year, is mani. lastly the duty of those placed by the Con. stitution in charge of , the Public Treasnry, and to whom belong the exclusive right of raising, economizing and appropriating the public revenue. I earnestly commend this w hole subject to the careful attention of the Legislature— entirely satisfied, that, as it is the most vital of all the interests commit ted to the charge of the General Assemly, it will receive that consideration which its importance so eminently demands. In my last annual message, I communi oated to the General Assembly all that, up to that period, had been done under the act entitled "An Act for the sale of the State eland.," approved April 21,1858.

Tne Eastern divisian of the road,ex'end. ing from Sunbury, in the ceeunty of North umberland. to ‘Vhetham, in the county of Clinton, a distance of eighty one miles, is finished; palesengee and freight trai is pas sing over it daily.

On the intermediite portion of the line, between the borough tef Warren and Whet hham station, a diet tance of one hundred and forty miles,ninee ty fire and a half miles are gratlei,leaving but forty four and a half miles yet to be graded, to pace the whole of the tinfinishe ed portion of the road in a position to re. ceive the s .perslrueture If no untoward event shall delay its vigorous proseention, another year will not pass before the en. tire line of She toad will he finished and in use.: thus nYlortli-eg a direct and Cone tinuous edihmktilietition, by railroad, from the city of Pailadelphia to the H trbor of Erie. By the twenty second s:ction of the act approved the 13th day of April, 18-IG, en titled "An Act to incorporate th • Perinsylt vania railroad company," it is provided, "that all ionnage,of whatsoever kind or de, seriptiin, except the ordinary bagenee of paseengers, loaded or received at Harris berg or Pittsburg. or at any intermediate point, and carried on or conveyed over said railroad. more than t serity miles, tie tweet the 10th day of March and the Ist duty of December,in cacti arid every year, shall be rubject to a to I or duty, tor the use of the Commoutvra th, at the rate of bve mill: par mile for each ton of two thousand poen le; and it s'-a Ibe the duty of said company. between the 20. h and 30th dayr July, and between the Ist and 10th days of Denember, in each mid every ar, after thi'ty nti'es or mare of Paid rcad sht.l hive been completed, and in u. , e teettuse ro he made out, and fited with the Auditot General, a true mai cot.. rect statcerfew exhibiting. the amount of 9..41 tonnage, so loaded or received, and fired stance so carried or ceavived,thiting, the respective periods intett - enieg between the sail Oth day iif March, and V - .'n 20th day of .oal3. awl between the said 20th day of July anti the Ist day of December, in each arid every year; which said statc meet sartll be verified by the o ofi or affir• mation of the receiving or forwarding agent t r aeents, o. othsr proper officer or offices, of said corn puny, having knowt edge of the prem'ses; anti at the time of filing sa'd statement, or on or before the sa:d 30.11 day efittly, and the 10th day of December, in each and eve ry year, the said company shall pay In the State Tree.' sitter, Abe amount of said to 1 or duty, so accruing for the use of the Common weed!), during the respective ittrerveninir periods before mentioned." Arid in a supp'etnent in the act just referred to, parsed on the same day, it is further provided, "that in case the sa'd company shall, at any time, fail to pay .11-43 toll of charge on tonnage, which may accrut, or become due to the Commonwealth. miler the provisions of said act, the same shall be and remain a lien on the property of the said company, and shall have precedence over all ether liens or incurribrances thereon until paid." By the 'Act of the 29th of March, 1848, the tak Oh tonnage of five milli' per ton, per mile, from the 10th of March to the Ist of December,wi.s c iminuted to a tax of three indls per lon, per mile, during the whole year. Subsequently, by the act of the 7th of May, 1855, lumber arid coal were made exempt 1 ern the lonrage tax.. In p Lust-. trice of the provishias of the several acts referred to, he Pennsylvania railroad company has paid into the Trea• sury of the Commonwealth the following sums, viz: Fur the Meal year ending Nov. 30, 1851, $7.621 93 ' Do dude, 1852, 16.680 49 Do d i do 1 53, 65,228 59 Ifo do do 18.54, 112.580 59 Do do do 1/955, 10 230 66 Do do do 1831.1, 226 018 51 Do do co 1857. 179.933 75 Do do do 1859, 222,303 02 Since July, 1858. the railroad company has refused to pay this t ix, and consei (molly there is now due from said curt patty, on that account exclusive of inter est, the sum of 6350,405.00 On the 21st of February, 1859, an at:• count was settled, by the Auditor General, agaiLst.the company for the ttx. on ton nage, Porn the 31st day of July to the 30th day of November ' 1858 inclusive, amount ing to the sum of 887,375 22. From this settlement, the co:npany, on the 19th day of April, took a i appeal to the court of commun pleas of DAuphin county ; aud, in the specifications of objections which were filed, it was averred that the ax was unconstitutional, and an opinion to that ef feet signed by eminent clittisel,twas filed in the office of the Auditor General, at the time tto appe tl was ewe. ed. In August Is-t, the ease, was tried, and after a full in vestigation and argument, the consti ution• ality of the law imposing the tax was al• firmed by the court, and a verdict and judgment rendered NI laver ofthe Common. wedlth,f;ir the amount claimed with in. tercet. The case has since been temoved, by a writ of error, to the Supreme Court of the State, and will, probably, be heard by that tribunal in the course or the f i red • ent wiater. On the 20th day of August last, another account was settled against the company, for the tax on tonnage from the 30th day of November. 1858, to the 20th dgy of July, 1859,amounling to the BUM of 8159,368 58 from which an appeal has also been taken by the railroad company, and which will' probably be tried during,tha present month. As this question largel'y affects the rev enues of the Commonwealth, and as the principle involved is one of the first i.n.• penance, I have deemed it a duty to lay before the General Assembly, semi that in detail, the history 01 this tax, and the present condition of the leoal contro've'rsy growing ont of its imposition and enforce ment. It will he observed that the pow...r of the State to grant chartered rights and corporate•priril , gee to a railroad comptiny, upon the condition that it shall pay to the Commonwealth a portion of its earnings, in the share of a fixed I x upon the freight carried over the road, is questioned by t he company, And too, after the Grant has taken efiect,while the et rpora•ion is in the full enjoyment of all the henefitsconferred on it by i'4l chatter. The question, it is true, is a legal one i cul its.decis'en,there fore, rests trial the judicial depart m e nt of the government ; but I have not the slight. 'est doubts, &at the (1-ci.ion, when had, will enirely vindicate the right to impose the tax, and to comp, I c•irporati!ins of its own eura:ion to obey the lav a from which they derive their existence When it is remembered, that rite tix was orig natty impose(' to indemnify the State, to sumo extent, tor Ir s4es, v.-hicE she was sure to • • sustain from a corn !Mimeo. which was in I creating new banks.

If corporate privileges for banking purposes are needed., to accommodate the he ments, but u timately indlitted the sale of i sheets wants of any portion of the State, justice requires the main line to the rallr,ati it.elf, at a t that such institittiou should be compelled to protect the • . • price many millions of doll Are below t community receiving its circulation, by requiring that what 1 amide security shall be given for the prompt redemption it wool I have produced in the abser.ce of ler its notes, the sufficiency of which no act of the corpo such competition, it is certainly not to b e : 1 ration could impair.

The editor of the Colonial Resin ds and Penn• sylvania Archives has prepared A copious index to the whole work, which will be laid before the Legislature, at.turt.eitily ,day of the ,eason. This publication is now completed, and it is a satisfac tion to know, that the records of the colony, as well as those of the State. preceding the adoption of the Constitution of 1190, are new rf easy ac eess Itt the public, and in a condition which ren ders their entire destruction impossible.

I have so repeatedly presented my views to the Legislature, of the evils arising from local and class legislation, that it is nut necessary again to repeat them. I desire ' however, to call the at tention of the General Assembly to the fact that we have, on oar statute books, general laws pro viding for the incorporation of railrzod, turnpike, bridge, - plank road, gas, water, and other similar companies, and that all corporate powers grant ed by the Legislature, to such companies, should be under these general laws, so that there may be uniformityin tho provisions 14 similar :Issue'- ations, and that the time of 04 General Assem bly may not be ocettpiel, iii tlly juts:sing bills of great length, when a simple reference to the de tails of the laws Would answer every purpose. The practice of sculling to the Executive a largo number of bills immediately preceeding the final adjournment of the Legislature, is highly objectionable, anti ought, as far as praeticable, to be discontinued. Its necessary consequence is, either to compel the Executive to approve bills which he has not fully examined, to sign them after the final adjournment, or, if he disapprosle them, to 'return them to the next General AdSClik bly, with his objections.

I3BUNADOrrE LOVE: At the period when the Stat - ea of Grenoble assembled at the Chatteau do Vizille, were preparing the mot*. tion of 1789, Bernadotte, then a ser geant, was quartered in that WWII.— Little dreaming of his future emi nence, he passed his time between his military duties, in cards and ganea ry. Ho had obtained considerable reputation among his comrades for his success in the latter art,and Made it, a ton . or to sustain it. An opportunity presented itself on tho famous day of "the tiles." On that day, as is well knol,vnY,,the women of Grenoble, mounted -on the-_ropf i s ti of their houses, assailed their rr - vat troops with a shower of tiles. Ifer rtdotte, being engaged with his regi ment in Rue Pertuisierc, was struck sou the head by one of those prbjeel"- 1.1 and fell. He was at first thought to be dead, manifesting shine symptoms of life, he was conveyed in to a neighboring cafe, and laid /Toll a table, which is still preserved. 4 and shown. He was n ot, however, destin cd to the fate of Pyrrhus. By de grees he began to recover, and, open ing his eyes, saw among the crowd who were tendering assistance, a fair young girl, whose bright were suffused with tears, and whose emotion was manifest at the pain he appeared to suffer. He raie-e'd himself on his elbow, and, gazing at her at tentively. seemed struck with be.i' beauty. After a little time, finding himself better, be called for aglass of - brandy, and rejoined his regiment. Quiet being established at Greno ble, Bernadotte left no means -unem ployed to discover the fair unknown. For three weeks he continued hia . 6. mantic search, when, one day, while pasivelv walking in the,lardi n deVille, he sa* * Tie'r aliProaearig. Re ;ketch ed her home, and, returning the next day, found tho means of obtaining at:t cuss to her house, and declaring his love. The girl was named Amalie; she was a dress maker, and about eighteen years of age; but l there wens a rival in .the field--a young watch maker of the town. Not knownig how to dispose of him, and, moreover, being violently in love,Bernadotte spoke '6f , Marriage, thining by that means to overcome all But he failed. Amclio neither loved the citizen nor the hero; but the first was a wateh.nlltker, and the other nothing at all—not 'tic - en a King of Sweden. She preferred the titlti ft the haver sack, and beetinte the fittaidt„p,f, the, Nt watch maker. When Bernat4 heard her decision, his fury know no bounds. He rushed to the house of his rival,and declared his love, and his pretensions to the hand of Amel ie, and challenged his rival to depide the question by the sword. The watchmaker was nothing loth, and the parties met. The. ,citizen, accustomed to the use o'f the weapon, was soon severely wounded, and Ber nadotte hastened to the house of his mistress. Re had been there but a few minutes, and had even forgotten the occurrence which had just taken Place, when a loud knocking was heard at the door. It was the wounded lov er of Amelie, brought thither appa- - rently in a dying state. She was overWhalmed with grief and horrO'6 tied; tOnitig to Bernadotte, loaded hire with the severest reproaches, and drove OH from the house. He saw her tiir thd last time. In a month she became the Vlife of the watch4inaer. Bernadotte, s ain he heard it, determ ined first to shoot tier, then to murder her husband, and finally U. blow out his own brains. Fortunately for his future crown he did neither. The hlue eyed heroine of this ad venture--now ajive, a decrepid, crook ed, wrinkled old Mlfiriat!i aper , vantiat a common inn, and in a 4(Ete of itb: ject poverty—related the circum stance many years afterwards. "Ah sir," said she, in concluding her story; "I should have done better if' I had married Bernadotte—l should have • been Et gtieen now; Sll 4 !—yes, a Queen ) instead of waiting upon every body here! 1 should have h'M a, court and subjects, and fine ChAtieg---,I have been a Queen I Ali, I made a great mistake----a sad Mistake!
