hundred and twenty-three. The number of
pardons gtant'.i in that time has been one
hundred and six, which is a little over 0J
percent. Of these pardoned about five per
cent, have been again brought Itefofe the
courts in consequence of their return to the
commission of crime.
1 am fully impressed with tlm weighty
responsibility of the pardoning power, which
ranks among the most difficult and embar
rassing duties of the Executive office. Daily
beset with powerful and pitiful importuni
ties, as well as conflicting representation-,
from those in whom he should be able to
place the fullest confidence, in order to avoid
errors in the decision of any eu.->e, the Gov
eruoris compelled to take into consideration
the action of the court before wh'ch the
convict has bet n tried; the majesty of the
law which may or may not have b en viola
ted; the condition of the prisoner; 1 is tent; -
union to err; the injury that may bo inflict
ed upon hi- helpless and depen lent rela
tives, and the argument- and appeal- i f
citizens whose opinions and wishes he i
bound to respect. And however just In
decision and humane and generous his ac
tion, either in favor of or against the peti
tioner for clemency, he must expect to have
his motives impugned, his.name and char
acter maligned, and to suffer virulent attacks
for the exercise of this most important and
merciful prerogative.
The pardon report will exhibit that many
instance- in which Executive clemency h.s
been invoked, youthful prison rs, charged
with their lir-t offences, and those of a triv
ial character, have been the recipients. The
object of punishment, in all cases, should
not be so much to inflict pain as to reform
the sufferer and prevent the repetition of
evil deeds. This fact i- frequently lost sight
of in imposing punishment up n criminal-,
e-peeially when inexperienced youths are
shut up in c'o-e cells with m-u hardened in
crime, wL re its arts arc daily taught and a
romance thrown around its commission. In
stead of being improved, tin y come forth at
the expiration of their terms of senten e
with the loss of self-respect, their moral
sentiments Hunted, and prepared to prac
tice upon society the infamous lessons they
have learned. .Such punishments tend to
increase rather than lessen the quantity of
crime. When houses of correct ion and re
formatories are constructed, or a proper sys
tem of confinement and pri-on discipline is
adopted, there will he a material decrease of
crime, and comparatively li w cases to de
mand the exercise of the pardoning power.
Commutation of Stuhniex.
There are confined in the i'hiladelphia
county prison the following named convicts,
under sentence of death, for whose txeeu
tion warrants have not been issued : Ed
ward Ford, sentenced May 12,1851; Jeirv
I'ixon, May 30, 18(13; Patrick Ftuuegan,
February 0, 18C3, Newton Champion, De
cern her 1, 18C6, and Alfred Alexander and
Hester \ aughn, July 3, ISfiK. Successive
Cove mors, lbr satisfactoty reasons have de
clined to order the execution of these per
sons. The law requires that they shall be
executed in accordance with the sentence,
unconditionally pardoned, or held in close
confinement in the comity jail during life.
The latter punishment, with the additional
embitterment constantly preying upon the
mind that a death warrant may at any mo
ment be issued, is, perhaps, the severest
that eoukl be inflicted. It would be both
just and merciful to give the Governor au
thority to commute the sentence of death in
the above named eases to imprisonment, at
labor, in the penitentiary, for such a term
of years as the ameliorating circumstances
may seem to justify and demand. One of
the convicts named has been imprisoned
about eighteen years, and although it might
not be advisable to set him at liberty, hu
manity and the i uds of justice require the
commutatoiu of his scntenee in the manner
suggested.
Com I'union.
The foregoing subjects have been deemed
of sufficient importance to submit at the
present time for your information and con
sideration. Others may occur belbre the
close of the session which may be worthy of
special communications. It will be my con
stant care and determination to CO operate
with you in the prosecution of any measures
that may tend to preserve and increase the
prosperity of the State and the happiness of
its people, with the firm belief that your
united wisdom w ill aim constantly to pro
mote these desirable results.
Many of the events that have transpired
since my last annual communication to the
Legislature have been usually interesting
and significant. They have b.en infinitely
more than political, ami bear directly upon
i lie great interests and most saen d destinies
of the nation. Apart from the vindication
of the principles of the party which sus
tained the government and the army during
the contest for the preservation of the
I nion and the elccion to lite ihesidciu y
of the fir.-t soldier of the age, is the fact that
tin: people have by triumphant majori
ties forever settled our controversy upon
certain fundamental principles.
Parties may and undoubtedly will arise
upon other issues, but there can be no fu
ture struggle about slavery. Involuntary
servitude, as a monopoly of labor, i.; forever
destroyed. The monster obstacle to the
national progress has been removed, iyiJ
henceforward all the the faculties of our
people can bo developed "without let or
hindrance." The fair and exuberantly
fertile States of the South, heretofote com
paratively retrogressive and unproductive,
relieved from tiiis terrible curse. witli the
influx of northern immigration aud capital,
will soon became the rivals of their northern
sister States in all the aits of peace, an 1 ad
ditional markets will he developed in which
to exchange the varied pioducts of the here
tofore hostile sections.
Hardly less magical lias been the effect
upon other nations. General Grant's elec
tin has confirmed the hopes of our nation's
friends, and the leaisot its fires in the Oul
World. It supplements and seal-the \cr
diet of arms an I the progress of republican
principles. The d rwnfall of the rebellion
in the United Spates was quickly followed
by the great civil revolution in England;
the peaceful expulsion of the la-tot the
Bourbons from Spain; the unrest of Cuba;
the concession of tuore liberal piinciple? in
Germany; and the necessary acquiescence of
the Emperor of the French m the republi
can sent'iuents in- I'eais even as be ha- be
trayed them. What are thcee but the
echoes <d the dire eatastroph • tha f ha-ovi r
>rhelmed aristocracy in tins Fnited S:a!e-V
Notwithstanding tiie importance of the
issues involved in the laic canvass, and the
bitterness of feeling as well as the earnest
ness witli which it was conducted, its ter
mination his happily met with the acqui
escence of nearly the whole people; and at
no time in the history of tiie nation has
there been opened before us a brighter
prospect of continued peace aud iom-a.-ing
prosperity; and we have no greater cause
for universal congratulation than that no
differences of oj in on now txi.-t that can
materially mar our national happincs-, re
tard our onward progress, or threaten the
peace or perpetuity of our government.
In conclusion, permit me to remark ihat
the voice of Pennsylvania, as vre'l as ihat of
a majority of the States., has at (he lalo:-
box proclaimed to the world that a'l our
national indebtedn -ss. no matter how heavy
the burden, will be paid according to "the
letter and spirit" of the agre incuts made
and entered into at the lime the debt was
contracted: and that in this as in all other
respects our individual and national honor
"must and shall be preserved;' that we are
determined by all honorable means in our
power to secure ample encouragement and
protecti >n to each and owry branch of Home
industry, and every manly enterprise that
contributes capital, labor, ski 1 and industry
to our material wealth, social advancement
and political tranquility; that for ail our cit
izens, tiie children of the Commonwealth,
being also citizens of tho United States, we
demand the FuUe-t protection, in their per
son-. their | ropery, and in all their rights
and ptivilegcs whet ever they may go within
the national juri diction or in foreign lands;
and that whilst our financial policy sliali b'
Midi as to maintain untrammelled our na
tional credit, it is to be hoped that it may
at the same time, b. such as will permit and
sanction the construction of the great rail
ways now in progress and stretching out
their giant arms to grasp the mighty com
merce of the Pacific, to develop the untold
resources of wealth in the intervening terri
tories, and to connect the most distant pur
tions of onr country in a common union,
nt only with iron hands, hut bv tho still
stronger and more indissoluble tie* of a com
mon interest and a common brotherhood.
To lessen the burdens of the people, and
to keep the expenses ot the State as nearly
a- pos-ihle within the limits of its absolute
necessities, will always he among the chief
objects of wi.-e and jmt legislation. us,
then, with a due sense of our obligations
and high responsibilities, endeavor so to
discbarge our duties as to secure the great-
of the community and merit the
approbation of Iliui by whom our Common
wealth has b en so abundantly bie.-sed.

FOK THE RENOVATION OF THE HAIR.
THE GREAT DESIDERATUM OF TIIE
AGE.
A dressing which is at once agreeable, health}',
and effectual for preserving the hair Faded or
gray hair is soon restored to its original color and
the glos? and freshness of youth. Thin hair is
thickened, falling hair checked, and baldness of
ten, though not always, cured by its use. Noth
ing can restore the hair where the follicles are de
stroyed, or Ihe glands atrophied and decayed.
But such as remain can be saved tor usefulness by
this application. Instead of touling the hair with
a pasty sediment, it will keep it clean and vigor
ous. 113 occasional use will prevent the hair
from turning gray or falling off, and consequently
prevent baldness. Free from those deleterious
substances which make some preparations danger
ous and injurious to the hair, the Vigor can only
benefit but not harm it. If wanted merhly for a
IIAIR DRESSING,
nothing else can be found so desirable. Contain
ing neither oil nor dye, it does not soil white
cambric, and yet lasts longer on tbe hair, giving
it a rich glossy lustre and a grateful perfume.

CATHARTIC PIERS,
Fur all the purposes of a Laxative Medicine.
Perhaps no one Medicine is so universally re
quired by everybody as a cathartic, nor was e-er
any before so universally adopted into use, in ev
ery country and among all classes, ns this mild
but efficient purgative Pill. The obvious reason
is, that it is a more reliable and far more effectual
remedy than any other. Those who have tried it,
know that it cured tbem ; those who have not,
know that it cures their neighbors and friends,
and all know that what it does once it does always
that it never fails through any fault or neglect
ot its composition We have thousands upon thou
sands of certificates of their remarkable cures of
the following complaints, but such cures are known
in every neighborhood, and we need not publish
them. Adupted to all ages and conditions in all
climates; containing neither calomel or any dele
terious drug, they may be taken with safety by
anybody. Their sugar coating preserves them ev
er fresh and makes them pleasant to take, while
being purely vegetable no harm can arise from
their use in any quantity.
They operate by their powerful influence on the
internal viscera to purify the blood and stimulate
it into healthy action —remove the obstructions of
the stomach, bowels, liver, and otherorgansof tha
body, restoring their irregular action to health,
and by correcting, wherever they exist, such
derangements as arc the first origin of disease.
Minute directions are given in the wrapper on
t He box, for the following complaints, which these
Pills rapidly cure :
For DYSPEPSIA or INDIGESTION, LISTI.ESS.NESS,
LANGUOR and Loss of Appetite, they should be
taken moderately to stimulate the stomach and
restore its healthy tone and action.
For LIVER COMPLAINT and its various symptoms,
BILUOUS HEADACHE. HICK HEADACHE. JAUNDICE
or Green SICKNESS, Bilious Colic and Bilious Fe
vers, they should bo judiciously taken for each
case, to correct the diseased action or remove the
obstructions which cause it.
For DYSENTERY or DIAKRUIEA, but one mild
done i? generally required.
For RHEUMATISM, GOUT, GRAVED, PALPITATION
or THE HEART, PAIN IN THE SIDE, BACK and
LOINS, they should be continuously taken, as re
quired, to change the diseased action of the sys
tem. With such change those complaints disap
pear.
For DROPSY and DROPSICAL SWELLINGS they
should be taken in large and frequent doses to
produce the effect of a drastic purge.
For SUPPRESSION a large dose should be taken
us it produces the desired effect by sympathy.
As a DINNER PILL, take one or two pills to pro
mote digestion and relieve the stomach.
An occasional dose stimulates the stomach and
bowels into healthy action, restores tho appetite,
and invigorates the system. Hence it is often ad
vantageous where no serious derangement exists.
One who feels tolerably well, often finds that a dose
of these PILLS makes, him feel deci iedly better,
from their cleansing and renovating effect on the
digestive apparatus.

FOR PURIFYING THE BLOOD.
The reputation this excellent medicine enjoys,
is derived from i's cures, many of which are truly
marvellous. Inveterate cases of Scrofulous dis
ease, where the system seemed saturated with
corruption, havo been purified and cure*! by it.
Scrofulous affections and disorders, which were
aggravated by the scrofulous contamination until
they were painfully afflicting, have been radical
ly ourcd in such great numbers in almost every
section of the country, that the public scarcely
need to be informed of its virtues or uses.
Scrofulous poison is one of the most destructive
enemies of our race. Often, this unseen and un
folt tenant of the organism undermines the con
stitution, and invites the attack of enfeebling or
fatal diseases, without exciting a suspicion of its
presence. Again, it seems to breed infection
throughout the body, and then, on some favora
ble occasion, rapidly develops into one or other of
its hideous tonus, either on the suriaoe or among
the vitals. In the latter, tubercles may be sud
denly deposited in the lungs o!*tieart. or tumors
formed in the liver, or it snows its presence by e
ruptions on the skin, or foul ulcerations on some
part ot the body. Hence the occasional use of a
bottle of this Sarsaparilla is advisable, even when
no active symptoms of disease appear. Persons
afflicted with the following complaints generally
find immediate relief, and. at length, cure, by the
use of this Sarsaparilla : St. Anthony's Fire, Rose
or Erysipelas. Tetter, Silt Rheum, Scald Head,
Ringworm, Sore Eyes, Sore Ears, and other erup
tions or visible forms of Scrofulous disease. Also
in the more concealed forms, as Dyspepsia, Drop
sy, Heart Disease, Fits, Epilepsy. Neuralgia, and
the various Ulcerous affections of the muscular
and nervous systems.
Syphilis or \ onoreal and Mercurial Diseases are
cured by it, though a long time is required for
subduing these obstinate maladies by any raodi
cino. But long continued use of tiiis medicine
will enrr the complaint. Lcucorrhoea or \V sites,
Uterine Ulcerations and F'emale Diseases, are
cjpnmonly soon relieved and ultimately cured by
its purifying and invigorating effect. '.Minnie Di
reelions for each case are found in our Almauac.
supplied gratis. Rheumatism and Gout. when
caused by accumulations of extraneous matters in
the blood, yield quickly to it, as also Liver Com
plaints, Torpidity, Congestion or Inflammation of
the Liver, and Jaundice, when arising, as they of.
ten do, from the rankling poisons in the blood,
I his SARSAPARILLA is a great restorer for the
strength and vigor ot the system. 'I hose who are
Languid and Listless, Despondent, Sleepless, and
troubled with Nervous Apprehensions or F'ears.
or any of the affections symptomatic of Weakness"
will find immediate relief and convincing evi
dence of its restorative power npon trial, "

CHERRY PECTORAL,
For Diseases of the Throat and Lungs,
such as Coughs, Colds, Whooping
Cough, Bronchitis, Asthma,
and Consumption.
Probably never before in tbe whole history of
me ii ice, has anything won so widely andsodeep
ly upon the confidence of mankind, as this excel-
In.: remedy for pulmonary complaints. Through
a long series of years, and among most of the races
of men it has risen higher and higher in their es
timation, as it has become better known. Its uni
form character and power to cure the various af
fections of the lungs and throat, have made it
known as a reliable protector against them
\V lule adapted to milder forms of disease and to
young children, it is at the same time the most
effectual remedy that can be given for incipient
consumption, and the dangerous affections ot the
throat and lungs. As a provision against sadden
attacks of Croup, it should be kept on hand in ev
ery family, and indeed as all are sometime sub
ject to colds and coughs, all should be provided
with this antidote for them.
Although settled Consumption is thought in
curable, still great numbers of eases where the
disease seemed settled, have been completely
cured, and the patient restored to suinl health by
the Cherry Pectoral. So complete is its mastery
over the disorders of the Lungs and Throat, that
the most obstinate of thsm yield to it. When
nothing else could reach them, under tbe Cherry
Pectoral they subside and disappear.
Singers and public Speakers find great protec
tion Irom it.
Asthma is always relieved and often wholly cur
ed by it.
.Bronchitis is generally cured by taking the
Cherry Pectoral in .-ma 11 and frequent doscsl
So generally are its virtues known that we need
not publish the certificates of them here, or d*>
more than assure the public that its qualities are
tally- maintained.
„AYE R' S AUL'E C Ull E,
ror rever and Ague, Intermittent Fever, Chu'f
Fever, Remittent Fever, Dumb Ague, Pen
odical or Billions Fever, Jf-e., and indeed all
the affections which arise from malarious,
marsh, or miasmatic poisons.
As its name implies it does Cure, and does not
tail Containing neither Arsenic. Quinine, Bis
muth, Zinc, nor any other miueral or poisonous
substance whatever, it in no wise injures any pa
tient. The number and importance of its cures in
the ague dis.ricts. are literally beyond account,
and we believe without a parallel in the history
ot Ague medicine. Our pride is gratified by the
acknowledgments we receive of the radical cures
effected in obstinate cases, and where other reme
dies hail wholly failed
I nacclimated persons, cither resident in. ou
traveling through miasmatic localities, will be
protected by taking the AGUE C I KK daily.
For Liver Complaints, arising from torpidity of
the Luer. it is an excellent remedy, stimulating
the Liver into healthy activity
lor Bilious Disorders and Liver Complaints, it
is an excellent remedy, producing many truly re
markable cures, where other medicines had failed.
