GOV. POLLOCK'S INAUGURAL DRESS, Delivered Tuesday January 16, 1855. FELLOW Curri.ENs:—Custom minions, and demands, a brief declaration of the princi ples and policy ; to be adopted and pursued •by an Executive about to assume the func tions of that Office. The-character of our in stitutions demonstrates the propriety of such declaration. All the just powers.of the Gov ernment emanate from the people, and to them should 'be communicated the manner in which it is proposed to execute the powers conferred. The people are sovereign; and in the exer cise of their sovereignty, they have "ordain ed and established" a constitution for the government of the State. That constitution, i I have this day, in .the presence of my fel low citizens, Mud of Him who is the searcher of hearts—and with humble.,reliance on His wisdimi to direct—sworn- to support. The high powers therein delegated to the respec tive co-ordinate branches of the Government are clearly expressed and defined. Side by side with thegraut of powers, stands the de claration of the rights of the people, recog nizing the general, - great - and essential prin ciples of liberty and free government. To guard against the transgression of the pow ers delegated; and to preserve forever invio late the rights, liberties, and privileges of the citizen, thus eclared, will be both a duty and a pleasure - , in full harmony With every sentiment of my heart, every impulse of my nature. Republican Institution are 'the pride, and justly the glory of our country. To enjoy , them is our privilege, to maintain - them our duty. Civil -and religious liberty--freedom of speech, and of the press, the rights of con science, and freedom of worship—are the birthright and - the boast of the American ci tizen. No royal edict, no pontifiCal decree, can restrain ater,destroy them. 'ln the enjoy ment of 'thee& blessings, the rich and the poor,: the high and the low, meet together— the constitution, in its full scope and ample developernent, shields and protects them, all. When these rights are assailed, these privi leges endangered, either by mad ambition, or by influences foreign to the true interests of the Nation, and at war with love of country— that noble impulse of the American heart, Which prompts it to revere home and native land as sacred objects of its affections--it is then the ballot-box in its omnipotence, speak ing in thunder tones the will of the people, rebukes . the wrong, and vindicates the free dom of the man--the independence of the citizen. To the American people have these blessing been committed as a sacred trust; they are, and must ever be, their guardians and defenders. The American citizen, inde pendent and free, uninfluenced by partizan attachments, unawed by ecclesiastical au thority, or ghostly intolerance—in the strength of fearless manhood, and in the bold assertion of his rights--should exhibit to the world a living illustration of the superior benefits of American Republicanism; proclaiming a true and single allegiance to his country, and to ne-other power but ''the God that made and preserves us as'a Nation." Virtue, intelligence and truth are the foun dation of our Republic. By these our insti tutions and privileges can, and will be pre served. Ignorance is not the mother of pa triotism, or of Republics. It is the enemy and destroyer of both. Education', in its en lightening-, elevating and reforming infl nen ces, in the full power of its beneficent results, should be encouraged by the State. Not that mere intellectual culture that leaves the mind a moral waste, unfit to understand the duties of the man or citizen. but that higher educa tion, founded upon, directed, and controled by sound and elevated moral principal—that recognizes the Bible as the foundation of true knowledge, as the text-book alike of the child and the American Statesman, and as the great charter and bulwark of civil and reli gious freedom. The knowledge thus acquir ed is the power conservative of States and nations; more potent in its energy to uphold the institutions' of` freedom and the rights of man, than armies' and navies in their proud est strength. The framers.of our Constitution understood this, and wisely proVided for the, establish ment of schools and "the promotion of the arts and sciences, in one or more seminaries of learning," that the advantages of educatiOn might be enjoyed by all. To improve the efficiency of this system, not only by perfecting our common schools, but by encouraging and aiding " one or more' higher literary institutions, in which teach ers can be trained and qualified; and to in crease the fund appropriated•to educational purposes, are objects which will at all times receive my . willing approval. 'Money liber ally, yet wisely, expended in the pursuit and promotion of knowledge is true economy.— The integrity of this system and its fund must be preserved. No division of this fund for political or sectarian purposes should ev er be made or attempted. To divide is to destroy. Party. and sectarian jealousies would be engendered; the unity and harmo ny of the system destroyed, and its ; noble ob ject's frustrated- and defeated. Bigotry might rejoice, patriotism would weep over such a result. . In ifie: performance of the -. duties . .now de volved upon me, it will be my desire to aid, by all constitutional and legal means, the de velopment_ of the resources_ of the . State; and to encourage and promote ,herngricultural, mining maiiirfacturirig and commercial inter ests. A kind Providence has bestowed upon us, with a liberal hand, all the elements of wealth and greatness. Our valleys and plains offers their fertile• soil to the plough share of.the husbandman, - and reward with their rich productions his' honorable toil.— Our inexhaustible coal fields; our rich iron deposits; limestone everywhere, and just where most required; the interminable forests, and . our. rushing streams, all invite the ener gy and enterprise of our citizens to•the de velopment of their treasurers, and promise a rich reward ,to their labors. The smoke of our furnaces,lthe crash of the rolling-mill ; the hum of the spindle; and the din of the work-shop, attest the energy and ,manufac turing skill of our people;' and Whilst ,the plough,.the loom, and the anvil, unite in the productional wealth, commerce, by her thou sand avenues, is bearing their. valuable and abundant products to our marts of trade.— Amidst all these great interests, and their rapid and almost romantic development, it is a matter of congratulation that agriculture, in its_ various departments, has awakened public attention to its importance, and clai med and received from science the tribute of its aid. Pennsylvania, so deeply interested in the cuccess of her agricultural industry, cannot be indifferent to the laudable efforts now making to perfect and advance this first, and- noblest, pursuit of man. This, and all other branches of industry, should receive the fostering bare and encouragement .of the Government. The interests of our great commercial em potium should receive the considerate atten- tion of the Legislature. Her manufactures, trade and commerce, are of great and inerea, sing importance, and Philadelphia, as Consol idated, in population, wealth, enterprise and intelligence, ranks and rival's the first cities of the Union. To make her the first among the 'cities of our country, should be the pride of every Pennsylvanian. Her interests are so indentified with the interests of the State, ~hat they cannot be separated without inju ry to both. A prudent and liberal system of legislation, appropriate to her real wants, would promote her own and the interests of the commonwealth. • A sound currency is essential to the prosperi. ty of a commercial people. All classes of .soci ety, and every branch of industry, in their va ried interests aird economical relations, are in terested in securing and maintaining a safe cir culating medium. To accomplish this result, wise and prudent legislatiOn is necessary. The creation of a well regulated, and carefully guar ded system of banking, is not only sound poli cy, but beneficial to the legitimate trade and commerce of the country; and aids in develop ing her great natural and industrihl resources. Our present system of banking, with the limi tations, restrictions and liabilities, individual and otherwise, imposed, by law on these institu tions, has became the settled policy of the State. The checks and guards thrown around them should not be lessened or removed. Their own safety, and the security of _the public, require their continuance. Notice of numerous intended applications to the Legislature for new banks, an increase of banking capital and savings institutions, has been given as required :by the constitution.— Without desiring to assume a hostile attitude towards all banks, the propriety of incerpera. ting all that may be called for, under the notice given, cannot be justified or defended. The ex travagant, improper or unreasonable increase of banks and banking capital, is not demanded by the wants of the community, and will not, and can not be sanctioned by the Executive. The present commercial and financial embarrass. ment of the country ; the depressed state of trade; all past experience, and the more recent experience of some of our sister States, as seen in their ruined banks and depreciated currency, demonstrate the necessity of legislating cau tiously and prudently on this subject. The number of banks, and consequently the amount of banking capital should be limited to, and regulated by, the proper, demands of active and healthy trade, and the actual business wants and necessities of the community. This poli cy, honestly insisted upon and pursued, would protect the country from the disastrous conse quences of improvident banking. An extraor dinary and unnecessary increase of banks and banking facilities, in seasons of great general prosperity, leads to extravagant and ruinous speculation. Such increase in times of corn- mercial distress, aggravates and prolongs the evils it was designed to remedy. , Entertaining these views I will not hesitate to sanction the re-chartering 3f old and solvent banks, which by prudent and careful management, and an holiest adherence to the legitimate purposes of their creation, have merited and received the confidence of the public. Nor wilt I refuse to sanction the incorporation of new banks, when indispensably necessary and clearly demanded by the actual business wants and interests of the community in which they may be located. To no Wier, and under no other circumstances, cab I yield the Executive consent. To promote the welfare and prosperity of the Commonwealth, by regulating and increasing her finances, economizing her resources, main taining her credit, reducing her debt, and relie ving her people from oppressive taxation, will be the objects of my anxious desire : and to the accomplishment of which every energy of my ' administration will be directed. The public debt, now exceeding forty millions of dollars, and the annual taxation necessary to meet the payment of its interest, seriously affect the great industrial interests of the State ; drive la bor and capital from the Commonwealth ; pre vent the extension and completion of her noble system of education, and the . prosecution of those laudable schemes of benevolence, which at once benefit, dignify and adorn a free and en- , lightened people. Every consideration of State pride, every rno tire of interest, require its reduction and speedy liquidation, by every available and practicable means. To secure this object, rigid economy in every department of the government ; re. trenchment in the public expenditures ; strict accountability in all the receiving and disburs ing officers-of the Commonwealth ; and "an hon -est and faithful discharge of duty by all her acrehts a would contribute much, and also save - millions to the Treasury. Created by the State, in the prosecution and management of her system of internal improve ments—a system characterized by ' , prodigality, extravagance and corrupt political favoritism" —the sale of these improvements, or at least of the 'main line,' as a means of reducing this debt, lessening taxation, and . saving our finan cial credit, has for many years occupied the at tention of the people, and their representatives. Bills for the sale of the main line have been pas sed by three different Legislatures, two of which were approved by the Governors then in office. The people, on the question being submitted to them in 1844, decided, by a large majority, in favor of the sale ; and yet these works, from the defective character of the laws authorizing the sale, the restrictions' contained in them, and from other causes, remain unsold. Public sen timent-, founded on econoinical, moral and peliti. cal considerations, still demands, and the public welfare still requires their sale. The consideration to be paid, the mode, terms and conditions of the sale, ought to be carefully _considered. Just and liberatinducements should be offered to purchasers ;.whilst at the same time the people should be protected against wrong and imposition. By avoiding the errors of for- Mer Legislation, a sale on terms favorable to the State, and ,heneficial to the purchaser, may be secured. It is vain to hope for a. reduction of the debt; and relief from taxation, without a sale of the whole, or part, of our public improvements. In cumbered with debt, and taxed to support a sys tem, the management of which has been mark. ed by extravagance, exPenditure r fraudulent speculation, and a reckless disregard of public interests, the people demand relief and release from these burdens. The press and the ballot box have declared the popular will on this sub. ject, and that will should be obeyed. Duty, and a conviction'of its' propriety; will . prompt me to give a cordial support„.to the.accoutplishment of this objeCt. In this connection, and whether a sale of _all or any of' the public - improvements be ef fected or not, the abolition or reorganization of the Boatd ,pf Canal Commissioners;. and the substitution .of some other efficient and responsible syStern of management, are sub jects worthy of consideration. Every mea sure of reform in this regard, calculated to increase the efficiency and responsibility of 1 the supervisory power protect the interests of the State; - and correct the - real or alleged ( abuses of the present system, will receive my approval. The people having in the recent election decided against the passage of a law probib ' iting the manufacture and sale of spritous liquors, it will become the- duty of the Leg- islature and Executive to- consider what oth er legislation may_ benecessary to control and correct the evils of intemperance. Our present license system, although highly pe nal, and corrective of many abuses, is still defect ive. — The facility with which license arc obtained for the sale of malt and other li quors, is an evil that demands reform. The number of places in which these are sold, should be limited by law ; and no license• granted unless by the courts, and in the man ner now required in the case of public inns and taverns, and subject to the same regula tions restrictions and penalties. The desecration of the Sabbath by a int& so fruitful of evil, and so demoralizing in its re sults, is in direct opposition to the law of God, and the moral sentiment of the people ; and is a reproach to the age in which we live. A stringent and comprehensive law, remediel in its provisions, and vindicating the great law of the Sabbath, in its physical and moral relations to man, is required not only by the moral sense of community, but would be justified by every sentiment of humanity, every consideration of philanthropy, every impulse of pure and genu ine patriotism. The history of intemperance is tears and blood. Pauperism, taxation and crime follow in its train. A remedy should be applied and public sentiment, with the fall' force of its moral sanction, will approve all prudent and constitutional legislation on this subject. The pardoning power—the harmonious blen ding of mercy and justice in our Constitution— will be exercised with a just regard to both these important principles. With every desire to ex tend mercy to the unfortunate and repentant transgressor, justice in her stern demands, will not be overlooked by the pardon of the vicious and hardened criminal. This power has baen conferred en the Executive, not to overthrow the administration of justice, but to aid and promote it. It should be exercised with great caution, and only upon the most satisfactory as surance.that it is due to the condemned, and that the rights and security of the public will not be prejudiced by the act. To prevent the abuse of this power, and to protect the Execu tive from imposition, notice of the intended ap. plication should be published in the city or county where the trial and conviction took place. Experience has demonstrated the impolicy of subscriptions by municipal corporations, to the stock of Railroad companies. This is especial ly true in relation to county subscriptions. The practice should be avoided, or at least not en couraged by future legislation. Legislation so far as practicable, should be general and uniform. Local and special legis lation ought to be discouraged, when the ob ject can be obtained by general laws. Its ten dency is pernicious and general principles, and public good are often sacrificed to secure personal and private benefits. "Omnibus legis lation" being improper in itself, and demorali. zing in its influence, cannot receive my sanc tion. The views and practice of my immedi. ate predecessor on this subject, meet my cordial approval. Pennsylvania, occupying as she does-an im. portant and proud position in the sister-hood of States, cannot be indifferent to the policy and acts of National Government. rcr voice, po tential for good in. other days, ought not to be disregarded now. Devoted to the Constitution and the Union—as she was the first to sanction, she will be the last to endanger the one or vio late the other,-Regarding with jealous care the rightsuf her sister States, she will be ever ready to defend her own. The blood of her sons poured out on the many battle-fields of the Revolution ,attests her devotion to the great prin. ciples of American 'freedom—the centre-truth of American republicanism. To the Constitu. lion in all its integrity ; to the Union in its strength and harmony ; to the maintainance in its purity, of the faith and honor of our coun. try, Pennsylvania now is, and always has been pledged—a pledge never violated, and not to be violated, until patriotism ceases to be ,a virtue, and liberty to be known only as a name. Entertaining these sentiments, and actuated by an exclusive desire to promote the peace, harmony and• welfare of our beloved country, the recent action of the National Congress and Executive, in repealing a solemn compromise, only less sacred in public estimation than the Constitution itself—thus attempting to extend the institution of 'domestic Slavery in the terri. torial domain of the Nation, violating the pligh ted faith and honor of the country, arousing sectional jealousies, and renewing the agitation of vexed and distracting questions, has received from the people of our own and other States of the Union, their stern and merited rebuke. •• With no desire to restrain the full and entire constitutional rights of the State, nor to inter. fere directly or indirectly with their domestic institutions, or the people in Pennsylvania, in view of the Missouri Compromise, the princi. pies involved in it, and the consequences result ing from it, as marked already by fraud, vio lence and strife ; have re-affirmed their opposi. Lion to the extension of slavery into territory now free, and renewed their pledge "to the doc trines of the act of 1780, which relieved us by constitutional means from a grievous social evil ; to the great'ordinance of 1787, in its full scope and all its beneficent principles ; to the protection of the personal rights of every hu man being under the Constitution of Pennsyl vania, and the Constitution of the 'United States, by maintaining inviolate the trial by jury, and the writ of habeas corpus ; to the assertion of the due rights of the North, as well as of the South, and to the integrity of the Union." She declaration of these doctrines, is hot the recognition of the fundamental principles 4;4' freedom and bunion rights. They arc neither new nor startling. They were taught by patri o:ic fathers at the watch.fircs of our country's defenders ; and learned amid the bloody snows of Valley Forge, and the mighty throes of war and revolution.-They were stamped with in delible impress upon the great charter of our rights, and embodied in the legislation of the best and purest days of . the Republic ; have filled the hearts and fell burning from the lips of orators and Statesmen, whose memories arc immortal as the principles they cherished.— they have been the watch-vvord and the hope of millions, who have gone before us, are the watchword and hope of millions now, and will be of millions yet.unborn. In many question of National and truly -A merican policy; the due, protection of American labor and industry, against the depressing in fluence of foreign labor and capital; the improve ment of our harbors and rivers; the National de fences; the equitable distribution of the proceeds of the public lands among the States, in aid of education and to relieve from debt and taxation;. a judicious "homestead bill;" refonn in the na turalization laws; and the- protection of our country :againtthe immigration and importation of foreign paupers and convicts; in all these, we, as a State and people, are deeply interested; and to their adoption and- s promotion-every encour agement should be - given. , To the people of ' niy native State, who have called me to preside over.her destinies, I return the tribute of my warmest gratttude for the ho nor conferred; and my pledge to them this day is, that "I will try" to realize their expectations, and not betray their confidence. In assuming the responsibilities of this high office, I would be false to myself and to the feelings that now op press me,. should I hesitate to affim my unaffec ted distrust ins my ability to discharge its ap propriate duties in a manner commensurate with their importance.. If I cannot secure,. I will labor to deserve the confidence and appro bation of my fellow citizens. Ido not expect, I dare not hope, to escape censure. Deserved cen sure I will strive to avoid, all other to disregard. Conscious of the' rectitude of my intentions ; with no ambitious desires to gratify ; no resent. ments to cherish ; no wish but for the public good ; it will be my endeavor to perform every duty faithfully and fearlessly, and having done this, will abide the judgment of a generous .peo ple ; assured that if they condemn the act, they will at least award to me the meed of good in tention. With the constitution for my guide ; "equal and exact justice . to all" my desire; the greatest good of the greatest number my object—and in voicing- the aid and blessing of the God of our fathers, and desiring to rule in his fear—my du ty and highest ambition, will be to promote the true interests of the Stets, maintain our civil and, religious privileges, defend the honor, and advance the prosperity and happiness of our Country. Shipments of Brea:dstuffs from the Uni ted States to Europe. The New York Shipping List furnishes a statement of the exports of hreadstufis from the United States to Europe, from the Ist of September to the 26th December, 1854, and for the same time in 1R53, from which we , makeup the annexed comparative table FLOUR, 1854. - Barrels.

The figures also show that the stock of flout and wheat in the country must still be large, the acknowledge shortness of the crop not being equal to the reduction of our exports. Against this we, however, must see the fact, that the demand for our breadstuffs in 1853 begin on a full stock, whilst at the opening of September, 1854, the quantity on hand was much reduced. Flow TO SECURE A LONG LlFE.—Rabbi Se ra was asked by his disciples how he obtain ed such a long life. "Never," he answered "was I• easily excited in my house; never did I precede him whom I thought greater in honor and station ; never did I think of the law in an unclean place; never did I walk four yards withont studying on some part of it ; never did I sleep or slumber in a house where they taught the Word of God ; never did •I rejoice at an evil which happened to my neighbor ; and never did I call any man by a nick-name given to him in derision or sport. , " THE FIRST SHALL BE LAST."—The Evansville (Ind.)
