Const icuou- among these were 11 Joseph JUtner :ind Hon. David R. Pott, r, both of whom di* d during the pre pre- nt administration. During their event ful lives they shared largely in the public conk I-nee and rog-rd, and til ed many pos's of honor, trust and responsibility, in clu" :ig that of Governor, with distinguish ed 1- elity and patriotism. They were con spieuotjsiy identified with all rh" grave and imp tan- que*'ions of State policy and ad mio tration, through the eventful period iu which they iived, and contributed largely to s: ipe and .sir.-ngthcn the firm foundations >i tir Commonwealth, upon which oth rs have been enabled to build securely. Th-y hav pass. d away, ripe iu years and full of h i end it is respectfully submitted vvhi ' ri* be not proper for the Legislature to t.k some appropriate notice of the la in d th of ft. se two distinguished public servants. Pardons. It is growu into a custom fo regard an apj eati a for Kxi cutive clemency us an in di-; is able part of the machinery of eriuii nl j i ri.e. L-cause the Executive is in v 1 with the purer to pardon, it is by uu'.v supposed that ha has not only the right, but tlij it.is his duty toexamine iatv every allegation of error, autl give a favora ble response to every application; and hence, petitions for pardon are beeolu'ne so numer ous that the mere examination oftheru is exhaustive of a arge amount of valuable time ; at least an hour in each ease, exclu sive of the time occupied in cotrespon 'ence with the judges, district attorneys ami other parties. CiiminaL are do sooner convicted, than thtir frieuds, and other interested par ties, who seem to think that it is the Gov ernor's constitutional duty to nullify the law- instead of seeing that they are faithful ly executed, prepare a raid upon him, and etop'oy in their importunities for pardon every device that human ingenuity can sug gest; and if hut a tithe of the representa tions set forth were believed, one would tie led to suppose thct our courts are daily guilty of the grosse-t blunders, and thar justice is far more blind than -he has ever been painted by the most skillful artist. During the year ending December 31, 1*69. th- re have been fifteen hundred and fifty application- for pardon, of which -ixty twn, or four per cent., were granted, eleven hundred and right n j c'ed, and three hund red and eight) are st-ii under advisement For some reason, not easily understood, it s cms that public sen'iment has become perverted on thi-important subject of par dons. The tramcrs of our government, a- I understand it, never contemplated or in tended an iodi-erimioate u-e of the f aton ing fower. It was only designed f-r the correction of manifest errors or oppressions, palpable mistakes, eas-- of after discovered evidence, and others of exceptional charac ter. B th the th-mry of our government and public policy require that the pardou ing power should be k< pt within these rea s-mable limits; and not he made an instru ment to defeat the execution of the bw ;nd the administration of public justice. All ordinary cases, therefore, are wholly outside of, an ! in conflict with, the princi ple on which Executive clemency should be based; and none such should lie presented for consideration. It is ■ aroe*tly hoped the public will understand and u-t in accordance with this view of the s U t,j c t. as due a ike of Executive and a proper regard for th * ex ecution of the laws y at tonal Affairs. Having laid before you a general survey of the affairs ani condition of the Stat. . which relate to the common welfare, it af fords me also the highest gratificati .n to ' add that the amicable intercourse and pleas ant relations which have so long existed be- ! t ween the government of Pennsylvania and ; the government of all the other Stat - of the Union, "to preserve, protect and de- | feud" these fundamental principles of hu ; inanity, equal rights and equal jas t ice to ail, ; umver.-a! freedom and a united country, is ' greatly strengthened. The general lelationsof the National Gov- I eminent, asset forth in the recent annual; tues-age of the President, contiuue to be "peace at home and without en'angliug alli ances abroad;" the reeonstruction of the | States lately in rebellion is being rapidly accomplished—the revenues are faithfully collected—the National debt i- being liqui dated, at the rate ot about one hundred million dollars per aunum, and repudiation has bet-n emphatically repudiated. A strict . and uncompromising adherence to this puli- I cy b> a prudent and economical administra- j tion has alrea ly restored the National char j aeter to the fullest confidence in the minds, not only of our countrymen but of foreign- | ers, and has allayed ail spirit of discontent tha r might have been dangerous to the sta bilitv of our institutions. There is another subject also of National importance elaimiug our attention, because it directly affects the industrial operation is which Penn-ylvania is so largely mtere-t --ed. Movements, characterized with the greatest energy, are now being made by ; those interested in free trade, to induce Congress to take such action as will permit the free introduction of steel, iron an 1 iron materials for ship buildings, and manv oth er modifications of the (atiff laws. Should such efforts be successful, the result must prove disastrous to the great coal, iron and other interests of our Stale, diminishing the production of iron and other manufactured articles, and consequeutly the c; nsuuiption of coal, and be destructive to our valuable home markets. It would also ptove diaaa- j trou* to many of our capitalist- and working people—depriving them of all reasonable i prospects of future activity arid remunera ting wages--and bring our producers into a ruinous competition with pauper labor from abroad. So tar as the present System af fords protection to the manufactures, labor and products of Penn-yivania, it is obfiga- j lory upon u-to u-e all h> n >rable mean- to prevent any reduction of exist tig du ies. Our miners, laborers aud manufacturers should not be thrown out of employment by (he proposed change of dunes on foreign im port-, which has always heretofore resulted in the prostration of every department of j , trade, labor and bu-incss and entailed upon us ill- manifold evils of* National, State and i individual banktuptcy. We owe it as a du- ; ty to our constituents to in truer our Sena . tors and request our Representatives in Con gress to oppose a I such att mpts. For the same reason we should oppose any reciproc ity treaties by which the people of Canada can gain advantage.- over our own lumber men. farmers and other produceis, withiu our limits. While acknowledging the rightful consti i tu'ional authority of th" Geueral Govern j ment to di-pose of all question- relative to national affairs, and while in no m inner seeking to interfeie with the t-xeiei-e of thai , authority, I cannot refrain from alluding to the fact, that for more than a year, a brave i ! people in Cuba have been struggling for their independence against great odds, in the face of barbarities and atrocities which wiil j forever be a foul blot upon the history of j j Spain. We should indeed fie unmindful of j humanity and of the greatness of our mi- j ! tion ility, if we omitted to notice this patri- , j otic effort by the Cubans to throw off the : Spanish yoke, and like our own ancestors, "to a-sume among the powers of the earth the separate and equal station to which na j ture and nature's God entitle them." The | new organization has abolished slavery, and ! atte-ted its right not only io our sympathy, hat to recognition, by the vigor and den rmi j nation of its resistance to the oppre-smns of j the mother country. Almost from the be ginning of our National Government, Con ! gress has furnished numerou- pri cedents for the action here indicated, even when the people struggling for libeity wt-re not upon the American continent. They recogrnz d Greec in her effort- toestabii-h her nation ality against Turkish oppression. The same spirit prevailed not only towards Poland, I aly aud Hungary, but to Ireland in all her movements to regain her long Ust national , ity. These countries had the unmistakable ; sympathy of the people of the United States, and our public men. in every branch of the government, never hesitated to speak !in th- ir defence. Io the case of the French I revolution, the statesman of America gave I every encouragement to the people of thot coutrry to establish a R publican form of Government. Upon this contim-nt there a-e numerous in-ranees of active sympathies witlt the struggles of the people for liberty !in various nations. In the case of Texa-, during her conflict with Mexico, she not on ly had our undi-gui-ed friendship, but obtained our recognition of her independent nationality, and soon afteiward- she was I annexed to ourgrtat sisterhood of Sta'es. It is in singular contra-t with these hi toric pr< cedents, that the pople of t'ul>a j have as yet received no national encourage mint or recognition, while ibey are imita ' ting the example of our father-, who, as : colonists, struck down the hand which op ! pressed them, and established tor them j -elves a free and independent government. I There is noquestior. but that the patriots of ; Cuba have the warm and emphatic sym pathy of a great majority <d the peop eof j this and other States, and I hut give uf | teruDCC to what is an abiding sentiment ! among the masses, when I declare a hearty sympathy with the people of that I-land now endeavoring to cast off the yoke of op pre-s im fastened so long "iron thetn by an | intolerant government. The gem of the I Antilles oi right belongs to republican rule. m)s 3SrsJf©rtl aJ&3-> and is, to all intents and purposes, covered by the Monroe doctrine, so that whatever recognition the government might extend to republicans of Cuba, it would otily amount to the practical enforcement of what our nation has so long a ivaneed in theory. Cuba-is an American island. Geographi cally it belong* to the United Sta'es. Its acquisition ha- been a leading principle with many o! our able-t statesmen from an early period in our hi-tonr. ,leffer*on.- Madison, Adams, Clay, Van Buren, Buchanau and many others advocated the ineorp iration of Cuba into the Union. It is hoped the time will soon eoaie, if it has not already arrived, when by the < nan :iaunn of a prompt and deeid.d policy a brave people may be rec >z niz d as independent, anu the cause of re publican principles receive new encourage ment. The management of our national finances is one of the most delicate and important questions now under consideration by the American people, aud while it is not uiy in lection to offer any plan to settle a matter which seems to give so much trouble to many of our most experienced financiers, a few suggestions may not be out of place. It will be remembered that by the estab lishment of our Nation vt banks, th • btv n l -afest paper currency that ever existed iu this nation ba* been afforded. Great caution shou d therefore be taken not to tnar a system that his been so generally b -Deficit I. When the government estab I shed the N ti mil hanks, our State bauks were taxed out of -xis'eu.£ and destroyed as such, nut in tiiiti.v instances they were renewed by the solemn enactment of Con gre-s. under vvho.-e supervision they were promised aju-t, kind aud fb-t -nng care. It s-etns urju-t, therefore, that the g.ivcrn menr should propose to Withdraw a part o! their circulation from them and give it to new on--s to be orgauiz ?d wiiere non - now < xist. If new bank* should be crea'ed wh r v r they may be required, they should receive their circulation <r>ui an increase of the amount n>w authoriz <1 by law. The circulation to be the -aui ■ as tne bank* n >w have, and on the same kind of securities. In my opinion, a policy of expin-ion of the cu ren y should ire adopted itiat will give ea-e and cm fori to the people, and 'hat will cheer up and re as-ure our business men and pat the whe-is of commerce. inanufac faeiutes and labor in full operation. It wid pr-vent a deciin- in the revenues derived from the tariff an' interna! taxation, aud wii. -ave thousands of citizen- from the crushing effect* of contraction. As a part of ihe same p licy, there should be no hesi taiion about the abandonment of the idea of reducing the currency by the a 'option of any plan to cur-ail the amount ol legal ten der- now in circulation. The con-tant aud natural approach to specie payments i* the only safe modt, in my opinion, to accomplish that desirable end. Any compulsory law that may be enacted will in all probability be a failure. I d 1 not hesitate to say that tha contraction of the currency at this time would he pro ductive of gieat injur both to individuals and to the general interest of the Nation. Let there be a liberal encouragement of rail road*. manufacture* and e*ey project that will afford employment and compen*ation to our toiling milli ns. Encourage a vigorous collection of the revenu son luxuries. M*in tain a strong trea-ury. with gold sufficient to keep a check upon those who might be disposed t > di turb the natural ten K-ncy to wards specie payments, or for the purposes of speculation. There shou d be a steady but moderate reduction of the National debt, a funding of the present -is per cent, five twenty bonds in others, a? a lower rate of interest. not by compulsion but by fair deal ing. and the establishing of a sinking fund, at such a rate as will pay off the debt in about thirty years. We shall then not only find the hti-ines* of the oountry reviving, but our bu.-in s* men ready to expand their operations with toe gn-atest encouragement. The foregoing are the only subjects con nected with Stare and National affairs that I have deem d of sufficient importance to offer for y>ur consideration at the present tim<*; and I conclude by expressing the hope that jour session will be marked by harmony among yourselves and the members of the several State Departments, and your de !, berati >ns re-ult in lasting benefit to the Commonwealth.
