eer to report the actual or even the tpptux
in.ate amount of any of our great natural
re- arce, and it cannot be ascertained from
year to year the amount of ccal mined, pe
troleum produced, lumber cut or iron man
u'uctured, without special reference to those

our f there products. At very little cost
an t '.abo . statistic* relating to ail tlese ob

such information would be o'" incalculable

to ibsolutelv harden him to the commission
of crime.
The commissioners appointed "to inquire

Pefiii-jivani* sy- em, will submit you

pos's of honor, trust and responsibility, in
clu" :ig that of Governor, with distinguish
ed 1- elity and patriotism. They were con

to s: ipe and .sir.-ngthcn the firm foundations

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.

TESTIMONIALS.
Tbe Waters' Pianos are known as among the
very best.— N. Y. Evangelist
We can speak cf the merits of the Waters' Pi
anosfrom personal knowledge as being of the very
beat quality.— Christian Intelligencer.
The Waters' Pianos are built of the very best
and tnost thoroughly seasoned material.— Advocate
and Journal.
Our friends will find at Mr. Waters' store the
very best assortment of Pianos, Melodeons and Or
gans to be found in the United States.— Graham's
Magazine.
MUSICAL DOINGS,— Since Mr Waters gave up
publishing sheet music, he has devoted his whole
capital and attention to the manufacture and sale
of Pianos and Melodeons. He has just issued a
catalogue of his new instruments, giving a new
scale of prices, which shows a marked reduction
from former rates, and his Pianos have recently
been awarded the First Premium at several Fairs.
Many people of tbe present day, who are attract
ed. if not confused, with the fiamiDg adeertise
mcntsof rival piano houses, probably overlook the
modest manufacturer like Mr Waters; but we
happen to kbow that his instruments earned him a
good reputation long before Expositions and "hon
ors" connected therewith were ever thought of;
indeed, we have one of Mr. Waters' Pianofortes
now in ourraaidence (where it has stood for many
years.) of which any manufacturer in the world
might well be proud. We have always been de
lighted with it as a sweet-toned and powerful in
strument, and there is no doubt of its durability;
more than this, some of the best amateur player,
in the city, as wall as several celebrated pianistes
have performed on the same piano. Bnd all pro
nounce it a superior and first-class instrument.

time, labor, or expense, is now confidently pre
sented to the public as incomparably the Best Sew
ing Machine in existence. The machine in ques
tion is Simple, Compact. Durable and Beautiful.
It is quiet, light running, and

comb my own hair, nor feed myself; but after
having the Pain Cure applied once, I found relief
enough to give me comfortable sleep, and with its
steady use. I continued to get better, and now at
the end of ten weeks from its first application. I
bave comparatively free use of my Land-, sleep
well and can attend to business. It has done ine
more good than all other medicines I have ever
