and social welfare. Whatever may be my own opinion, or (hat of the Legislature or the people, in reference to lh" law of the last ses-ion "to restrain the sale of intoxicating liquors," it must lie admitted that a full return to the license sys tem, in operation prior to the passage of the present jaw , is not demanded by enlightened public sentiment, and would not promote the good order or happiness of the community.— That the laws then in existence were imperfect and failed to check or control the evils ol in temperance, is a proposition too plain to be doubted— that they needed revision must also be conceded. In our large cities and towns, the evils of the system were more severely felt.— The facility and cheapness with which licenses were obtained, operated as a premium to vice and immorality, and multiplied tippling houses and places where intemperance, under the au thority of law, was not only permitted, but en couraged. Mv immediate predecessor, in his last annual message to the Legislature, in ref erence to the then license laws, says: "So far as relates to the citv of Philadelphia, they are peculiarly prejudicial to public morals, anci seem to have been constructed to promote the conve nience of drinking far more than to restrain its consequences." In this opinion I fully concur. That a remedy was demanded, a!! will concede. Whether the law of the last session was the proper remedy, it is not my province now to determine. Enacted by the representatives of the people, T gave that act my official approval. IT cognizing the people as the source of ail po litical power, and their representatives as the immediate exponents oi their will, upon you will devolve the responsibility ot further legis lation, if any, on this subject. In all its rela tions, economical, political, social and moral, the question is important, and its proper deter mination involves feaiful responsibilities. It deserves, and should receive, youi serious con sideration. If action is had, may we not hope that it will he such as will promote the virtue, morality, and true interests of our people and Commonwealth. Legislation, so far as practicable, should he general and uniform. Local and special legis lation should nut be encouraged, when the de sired object can be obtained by general laws. Such legislation is not only local and special in its character, but frequently tempoiary —the art of one session being repealed by the act of the next, and perhaps replaced by one still more objectiunanle, which, in turn, soon shares the fate of its predecessor. It crowds the statute book with useless and unnecessary laws—vio lates private rights—creates confusion and un certainty—destroys uniformity of practice and decision—prolongs the session of the Legisla ture, ami increases the public expenses. Our geneial laws regulating roads, highways and bridges, and providing for the support and em ployment of the poor, constitute a well digested system for the accomplishment of those objects: and vet, under the system of local legislation heretofore practiced, we frequently find in dif ferent townships of the same county, local laws regulating these subjects, not only riitfer ering materially from the general law, but from one another. Reform in this regard is requir ed, and to this 1 respectfully ask your atten tion. "Omnibus legislation" having been condemn ed and abandoned, should not be permitted a gain to sully the records of legislative action.— It cannot receive my approval. Numerous applications will doubtless be made for the incorporat ion of insurance, gas, and water companies. To facilitate action on these ques tions—economise time reduce the expenses of legislation secure uniformity and confine the companies thereafter incorporated to the legiti mate purposes of their creation, I would recom mend the propriety of enacting general laws regulating such corporations. Already laws of this character for coal, iron, canal, railroad, turn pike, plank and bridge companies have been found highly useful and economical. Such laws, well regulated and carefully guarded, would be productive of similar results, in their application to insurance and the other companies named. The propriety of limiting and restraining cor porative bodies to the objects and purposes of their creation, will not be denied or controver ted. In relation to the powers and privileges ol insurance companies, this plain principle lias been overlooked and disregarded. By succes sive acts of legislation, many of these institutions have acquired discounting privileges, arid near- Iv all the powers of Hanks without their guards, restrictions and liabilities. This lias been ef fected by tlie magic of some genet a I provision in the act incorporating the company, or by re ference to some forgotten supplement concealed in the folds of an "omnibus bill," or lost in the mazes of the pamphlet laws. General laws, whilst they would confer on such companies all the powers necessarv to accomplish the objects of their incorporation, would at the same time prevent an extension ol privileges foreign to such associations. This subject is commended to vour considiation. The jurisdiction of the rouits in relation to real estate, trusts, the incorporation of literary, charitable and religious societies, manufacturing and other associations, has been greatly extended by recent legislation. T his enlarged jurisdic tion was conferred for the purpose of relieving tiie Legislature from the pressure of numerous applications for special legislation in the premi ses. The courts are, therefore, the proper tri bunals to determine such questions, and in all cases where ttie subject matter is within their jurisdiction, the Legislature should refuse to en tertain the application. Divorces, unless in cases of extreme necessi ty and clearly bevond the jurisdiction of the coui ts, should not be granted bv the Legislature. By the act ot the l(tl. of April, lS4f), enti tled "An Act to increase tiie revenues and di minish the legislative expenses of the Common wealth,''it was provided that thereafter no pri vate hill, therein described and taxed, should he enrolled in the oliice of the Secretary of the Commonwealth, or published, or have the force and effect of law, until the party asking or re quiring the same should pay into the Treasury of the Common wealth the respective sums named in said act. A large number of acts passed by former Legislatures, and subject to this tax, re main in the office of the Secretary of the Com monwealth, the tax on them not having b-en paid. The number has been annually increas ing, and will continue to increase, unless a sum mary remedy he afforded for the collection of th° enrolment tax, or in default of its payment after a certain period, the acts themselves be re pealed. The amount of enrolment tax now due the Commonwealth is large, and should have been paid long since. I would therefore rec ommend the passage of a law repealing all acts heretofore passed, subject to such tax, unless the tax he paid within one year thereafter : and fur ther. to provide that all such acts hereafter pass ed, shall not have the force and effect of law, unless the taxes respectively due Thereon be paid within six months alter their approval.— Such a law would secure the payment of these taxes, increase the revenues, and at the same time check the demand for private acts design d to be used or abandoned, as the calculation of chances, or the loss or gam of the parties in interest might determine. Bv a resolution of the Legislature, passed the 17th day of March, 18f)f>, requiring the "New York and Erie railroad company to com municate to the Legislature ol this Common wealth, a statement, certified under oath by their president, setting forth what quantity of land said company now holds in Pennsylvania —its location—how much they have heretofore disposed of—its value—the value of what they now hold, and when the titles to said lands were acquired," it was made the duty of the Gov ernor to transmit a copy of said resolution to the president of said company. A copy of the res old! ion was transmitted as directed ; and the answer of the president of the company, com municating the information required, is here with submitted to the Legislature. Bv a resolution of the 2fith day of April, IBSfS, I was requested to procure fiom the At torney General, his opinion of the right ol the State" of New York to divert water from tlie natural bed and channel of the Che mung river, to the prejudice of the public im provements of Pennsylvania: the said river be longing to both States: and communicate the same to the Legislature. As requested, the opinion of the Attorney General has been ob tained, and is herewith communicated to the Legislalure. On the sixth day of October last, I approved and signed the hili, entitled, "An Act to repeal the charter of the Erie and North East railroad company, and to provide for ihe disposing of the same." In pursuance of its provisions, I appointed the H<>n. Joseph Casey to take pos session and iiave the charge and custody of the road. Before possession was taken, application was made by the company to one of the judges oflhe Supreme Court of this Commonwealth for an injunction to restrain the agent ol the State from taking possession of the road : and subsequently a cautionary order was made by the Supreme Court, in banc, to stay his proceeding tinder the act. The questions involved in the application for an injunction are now pending before that court, and will, it is expected, be determined early in the present mouth. The result will he made the subject of a special com munication to the Legislature. The recent fraudulent, if not felonious ab straction of a large quantity of arms from the arsenal at Harrishnrg, has shown the necessity of additional legislation for the protection of the arms and other public property of the Common wealth deposited in the arsenals of the Slate.— The taking and sale of the public arms and prop erty, without authority of law, by the keepers of the arsenals, or bv others hav ing them in charge, should he declared a felony, and pun ished with severity ; and all persons purchasing or receiving the same, without proper authority, and knowing them to be the property of tfie Commonwealth, shouid be regarded as princi pals, and punished accordingly. The bonds now required to be given by the Adjutant General and the keepers of the arsen als, for the faithful discharge of their duties, are insufficient in amount to secure the Common wealth against loss from the fraudulent sale or taking of the property committed to their care. The sum in which these bonds are taken should be increased to an amount proportionate to the value of the property which is or may be de posited in the arsenals. Since the sale of the arsenal in Philadelphia, the public arms in that city have been placed in a room or out-house procured lor that pur pose. As a depository, it is unsafe and inse cure. Better provision should be made for their safe-keeping. The sum of thirty thousand dollars, arising from the sale of the Philadelphia arsenal, is now in the Treasury, to be expended tinder the direction of Ihe Governor, in the purchase of a suitable lot and the erection of a new arsenal.— This sum is wholly insufficient for that purpose, and without additional appropriations, which are not recommended, this object cannot be ac complished. As arms and munitions of war can, when required, be transmitted with faci 1 ity and rapidity, to distant parts of the State, the neces sity for more than one arsenal no longer exists. It the arsenal at Meadvilte can be dispensed with without detriment to the public service, I would suggest for your consideration the pro priety of authorizing its sale, and the sale of the one at Harrishnrg, and with the funds arising therefrom, and the money in the Treasury ap plicable to that purpose, the erection of a large and commodious arsenal at Harrisburg, or else where, as mav be deemed most economical, safe and convenient. The Legislature, at their last session, Flaring failed to elect a Senator lo represent this State in the Senate >f the United States, for six years from the 4-th of March last, it becomes your du ty to provide for an election to supply such va cancy. By reference to the existing laws regu lating the election of Senators to represent this State in the Senate of the United States it will he perceived that their provisions do not em brace a case like the present. Having at the time of my induction into of fice, declared to my fellow-citizens and their reprerenlatives, my sentiments in relation to questions connecter! with our national politics, their reiteration now will not he expected. To the opinions then xepressed, and now re-adirm ed, you are respectfully referred. To maintain in their integrity ofthe Constitu tion of our Republic, and the Union of the States—protect the civil and religious privileges of the people—guard with jealous care the gen eral, great and essential principles of liberty and free government—of freedom and human rights —and vindicate by a true and single devotion to home and country, the great doctrine of A meriean Nationality, are objects that awaken the patriotism and claim the energies and the heart of every American citizen. In obedience to the rrquirments of the Con stitution and laws ofthe State, as the represen tatives ofthe people, you have assembled to per form the high and responsible duties that de volve upon you. As a co-ordinate branch of the government, it will he alike mv duty and pleasure, to unite with you in the* enactment of all such laws as w ill protect the rights of the people, and advance the honor and prosperity of the Commonwealth. VVith a sole desire for the publitrgood—actu ated by a spirit of enlarged and enlightened patriotism, and guided by that wisdom which hath its beginning in the fear of God, may our efforts, in harmonious action, be directed to the accomplishment of these objects, and to the pro motion of that righteousness which exalteth a nation, and constitutes the true glory ot a free and independent p *ople.
