It occurred to me and my physician as au excellent com bination, and, with his advice, after an examination ol tlie article, and consulting again with a druggist, I con. eluded to try It. I commenced Its use about eight months ago, at which time I was con&ned to my room rom the first bottle I was astonished and gratia ed at the bem flclal effect, and after using it three weeks, was able to walk out.

A careful attention to tbe revenues ot tho Commonwealth, with such Just and prudent changes as may be required in the luturo, and a wise economy in expenditure will, in joy judgment, ensure the entire payment ol tho pub lic debt within the period of tilteen years. The time fixed for the redemption of 823,108, C25 24 ol the indebtedness of the Commonwealth having expited, I recommend that provision ba made for its redemption, by making a new loan for that purpose, payable at such periods as the pros pective revonuus will justify. I recur, with much satisfaction, to the wisdom, prudence, and economy oi the representatives ot the people, in tbe management of the finances ot the Commonwealth, during a period of much embarrass ment, nncoriainty, and distress, and congratulate you and them on tbe near approach ot the entire liouidation of tho nubile debt. Since my last Annual alesaage, I have drawn from the Treasury two tiiou?and dollars of the fund placed in tbe hands ot the Governor for secret ser vice and other extraordinary expenses, wliico I have expended, iu navmeut of mv personal BtafF. and for other imrioses as heretofore, except tie hundied and sixty-three dollars and lorty-oight cents, Allien 1 have returned in'o tn Treasury. 1 present, tor your consideration, the amendments to the Constitution ot the United States, proposed to t lie Aievislatures ot the several Mates by a rerolu tion ot both Houses ot Congress, passed on the 16th aav ot .nine last, l was triad mat it was nossimo. without delaying tbe final adoption oi these amend- meiiis, to ascertain me opinion oi our psopie upon them, at tho general e'eotion in October last. By the election of a lame majority ot members ofcmiy favoring and advocaiing the amendments, tbat opinion seems to me to have been abundantly ex pressed. Indeed, the amendments are so moderate and reasonable in their charae'er, tbat it would bave been aaionisbing if the teopie bad tailed to approve them. 1 bat every person born In tho United Etatos, and tree, whether by birth or manumission, is a citizen ol the United Mates, and that no State has a right to abridge tbe privileges ot citizens oi tbe United (Stales those are principles which wore never seriously doubted anywhere, until after tbe insane crusade in favor oi slavery had been for some time in progress. What is called the decision of tbe Supreme Court of the United States in tbe Dred bcott ca. e, bas made it expedient and proper lo re assert tbese vital principles in an authoritative man ner, aud this is done in tbe first o ause ot the pro posed amendment. Theright of prescribing the qualifications of voters is exorcised by the respective Stales, under ton Con stitution of 1799; three -filths ot tbe slaves were counted in ascertaining the representative popula tion of tbe several Stales. 1 be amendment to tha Constitution abolished slavery in all the Statoa and Territories. Tbourb it was formerly otherwise in most, it not all, of the old Southern Slates, yet tor n any sears past free negroe have not, in any of these been permitted to vote. At present, there tore, the late ulave States would be entitled to count the whole ot their former slave population as a basis lor representation, iLstoad of three fifths thereof. 1 bat Is to say, thoy would have in the existing ratio a'jout twenty more members of Congress thau they bad belore slavery was abolished, an 1 tbe free States would lose the tame number, making a diflercnoe ol atiout forty members ot Congress, or, say, oue-sixtu of the whole body. In other words, tbe treason of tbe rebellious States, the suppression ot which has eost us so many hun dreds ol thousands ot precious lives, and so many thousands ol millions of treasure, wodld bo rewarded by giving themavat increase of political power. This absurdity, the second clause of the proposed amendments designs lo t revent, by the just, equal, and moderate provision, tbat in tut a re the repre sentative population of each 6tate shall be ascer tained by making a pioportiouale deduotion from the whole population thereof, If its laws exolude Irom the privileire of voting, any male olti2-ns, tot ciunnals, of the M of twenty-one years. I have yet to learn thasr any plausible objection can bo offered to such a provision. Tbe third clause of tbe proposed amendments ex- cltidea frnm (7onirrARfi. and from thatoltoirA of KUn. I tors, and Irom all oUloes, civil and military, of the united Mates, or or any Mate, persons who, as functionaries ot the United States, or as Executive or Judicial oflieers of any Htate, bave heretofore svornto support tbe Constitution of the United States, and aJterwards violated their oath by enrag ing in rebellion against tbe same, unless Convress, by a vote of two-thirds, shall have removed the dis ability of any sitob peroas, 1 he touitti clause affirms the validity of the debt if tbe Vf'ted tt."" si'd prohibits the astg nption m it c io.r,,!

Tbe duty Imposed upon uonrus, to provine ana maintain republican governments lor tbe Mates, is to be accepted in tbe broadost meaning- of the term. It Is not a mere formal or unnecessary provision. 1 be power was conferred, and the duty enjoined, to preserve Itee institutions egamat an enoroacninenis. or the more violent elements ot aospotism ana anarohr. And now that troas n has by r -oolliou subverted tlie Governments ol a numborot states, forlciiing lor the people all the rights guarantee 1 by the Constitution. Including even those of property and lite, tho work ot retora ion lor those states rfts with the national Uovernraont, and it should be faithfully and fearlessly pertormea. 11 y their passage by congress, ana tno aeciarauon of the people at the late ejections, tho faith of tho nation is pledired to the amendments, and they will tie fairy carried out. and tbe r benefits (riven to the rebellious States. But when the atncnainonts shall bave passed into the orpanlo law, anould ibe peoplo lately in rebellion persist In thoir rejection, and in continued disobedience, and the obstruction of the execution ot tho national laws, it will be an admoni tion to the nation that the animut and force of trea son still exist among a peoplo who enjoy none ot the Viivilegcsof the turivernment, save ot its generous tolerance. With their rejection all hope of recon sirnction, with tho oo-oporation of tbe rebellious s ate, on a liai that wou.d secure to tne it -puo ic the logical results of the war, will have vanished, and tbe duty must then devolve upon the Govern ment of adopting the most effectual method to secure for those Sta'es the character of gove.nments tii niandco by the Constitution. ihey are without lawlul Governments thoy are without municipal law, and without any claim to participate in tbe Government. On v bat principle oi law or justice can tbe rebel lious States complain, if, after they'have rejected t'.e fair and magnanimous terms upon which they aie offered t rotherhood with us, and a participation in all the b essmg ot our freedom and they have refused, it the Government, iu tne exercise of its povtPis, should ontei anew upon the work of tecon struction at tbe very lounaation; and then the necessity will be forced upon us to discard all dis crimination in favor of the enomie ot our nation ality, to give ns and them onduring lreedom and imi aitial Justice. ibe Constitution has defined treason, and has ffiven cxprtss power to suporess iuau-reotion, by war, if ntoe'eary. It bas not provided, in dotail, the terms to be granted after such a war. Ho cou d it oo so? It would probably not bi contonded by tbo widest partisan, that these Status bad a right to be represented in Congress at a time when they were earning on open war against the Gov ernment, or tbat Congress was not then a lawful body, notwithstanding their exclusion. How then bave they reaained the right of representation? Surely not by simply laving do vn their arms when they could no longer bold them. Tbe United States have tbe right, and it is tbeir duty, to exact such securities (or future good conduct as they may deem t-uflicient, and the offenders, Irom whom they are to be exacted can have no right to participate in our courici s in the decision of the question of what (heir punishmont shall be. l'ractlcally, common sense determined the ques tion of their rigtit so to participate, when Congresi proceeded in the enactmont oi the laws, after toe siiirenderof the last Hetiel military force, it was determined apain, when the now pending amend, mente were proposed by Congress. If two thirds of -Congress, as now constituted, could lawtuliy propose those amendments, then three fourths of tbe States, not excluded from representation in Congress, form a sulilotent ma jority to effect their lawful adoption. It was deter mined arain by the formal sanotion of both tbe great political parties, when Congress, by an almost una nimous vote, declared the rebellious States without the nht of representation in the Electoral Colleae in 1864. We ought to go on rosolutely and' rapidly with all measures deemed necessary to the future saiety of the coun'ry, so that all parts of it may, at tbe earliest oay, bo restored to just and equal political privileges. The annual report of Hon. Thomas H. B.irrowes, Superintendent of the maintenance and duoalJon ol the soldiers' orpnans, wilt exhibit tbo present condition and tbe result thus far of ihat undertak ing. Near y three thousand of tho destitute chil dren ot the brave iren who laid down thoir lves that tlie nation mivbt live, are now not only oomlortably piovidcd loranj guarded fiom temptation, but are receiving an education which will fit them to repay tbe euro ol tbe 8ta:e. lhe appropriation made for this purpose at the Jat-t sefMon bas Lcen sufficient to moot all exponses ot tl:e financial year just closed. And I recommend whatever tippi opriation may be neaensary to.eon tinue and perfect tbe system under which the schools are conducted. There can be no doubt tbat the appropriation will be made. Were 1 to seleot any State interest which I wou d more warmly commend to your prompt attention and liberality than another, it wou d be this. All Pennsylvanlans are proud ol it, and it lies near the beans ol all true men. Owing to their greater deBti utlon and want of in ii rmation on the part of their relatives, tbe orphan of our colt red soldiers may require some special attention. Perl aps authority to the State Superin tendent, to ute, tor a short time, the services ot an agent, to ascertain their number and claims, and bring them into the schools that may be provided lor them, will tesufitoient. The whole number in the State la not large, of whom a few have already been temporarily provided for. I recommend that provision be made for tbe r. aintenance of such ot our soldiers as are in po erty, and have been so maimed as to prevent them irom securing a livel hood by their labor, by renting buildinvs at onoe, or sucji other means as you may deem wise and proper, until the arraugomeuts pro posed by the national Government for their support aie completed. J bey aie piobab y lew in nun ber, and it t due to the character of tbe Commonwealth, ibat ihey should not remain In, or becoma the in mates of poor houses, or pick np a precarious sub sidence by begiring. Patriotic and charitablu citi zens have done much lor them, but speedy and pioper relief can only be given them by the syste matic aLd continued benevolence ot the Common wealth. The Legislature can alone afford immediate relief to all ot this c ass oi our citizens, and in thus exhibiting gratitude to heroic and faithful men who did so much for tbe country, toe burden will tall enually on ail her people By our existing laws, juries are solectod by the sheriff and commissioners of tin respective coun t es. As these officers are re l era Iv of similar potiti cm affinities, tbe system bas always been in danirer ot being abused lor partisan purposes. During tlw last six yeaia It bas been frequently go abusocV jn u any of the counties. r To secure, as far as possible, the administration ot equal justice heroaiter.

Tlie followlnsr is the substance of the Turki"h reofrt nunatiuE tbe taking ot the monastery of Arkadi, in the pashalik ot Rettimo, by Mus larha 1'asba, the Imperial Commissioner iu Crete: Canea, November 2t?. The pacification ot the island is advancing; in a very satisfactory way, and many villages daily send deputations, an nouncing the submission of the inhabitants, pud their readiness to deliver up their arms to tbe Imperial authorities. The lmpetial Commissioner, having taken the necessary measures for desttojina. the insurgent bands that still wander a bene destroying pro perty and plundering the Christians wno refused to rebel In the western part of the Island, trans ferred his headquarters to Rettimo. After re maining there two days to complete the arrange ments tor the capture of the monastciy of Arkadi, be sent forward Suleiman Bey with a body of troops to cut off the communication of the garrison of Arkadi with the other bodies of rebels The monastery of Arkadi has' been for some time used as a storehouse for provisions and ammunition for the rebcU, and intea l of being tho habitation of prayer and pic'.y, it bas been converted into a den of thieves and a fortress of rebellion. Shortly alter Suleiman Bey had tuken up his position, the Generals Ali Pasha aud Isinael Pasha marched to attack t he monastery, and on lhe 21st the Imperial Commissioner look tin1 command of the whol3 force, which mw amounted to about 7000 men. The fore imme diately engaged in the sioee and attack of th? monastery consis-ted of 4000 men, composed ot Ottoman Infantry and artillery, Egyptian in fsi,try, Cretan mounted volunteers, and Albanian lieht inlantry. Before investing the place tbo Imperial Commissioner offered an amnesty to those within tbe walls on their making their submission and laying down their arras; but, confiding In tho strengrh of the walls, the num ber ot the garrison, and tho ample supoly of piovisions and ammunition, these otters were i elected. The assault of the monastery was impeded by a tower constructed to defend the approach to the great building, and irom this tower and the loopholes in the walls a heavy lire was kept up tm the Imperial troop. The tower was re duced to ruins, a breach was opened in the walls of tie mouastery, and the storming purty sprang forward to foree an entrance into tho principal court. As the men mounted the breach the garrL-on set fire to their mines. The li ad of the attacking column was shaken, aud leli back for a moment, but as. soon as the fall imr f toneB and smoke cleared away, the troops v i re rallied by tbe otheers, and rushed forward to complete tbe conquest of the plaae. In a short time a severe strugele rendered them masters of the whole building. One of the mines fortunately buret upwards, and expended its force in the air. Another burst endwards, sud inflicted severe lo6S on the rebels them selves. The attack lasled all day. From 500 lo CCo rebels fell, and the members of the insure' Assembly ot the province, as well as the a!t of the monastery, were among the k'ed. Forty-two Insurgents were taken prisoners, and ninety women aud children were fount lu the n agazines of the builJtncr. Tbe imperial Commissioner sent the women and children on botseback to Rettimo. where they were pUeed under the care of the Greek Bishop. The 0 toman force lost 58 killed and 153 wounded.

John Sellers, a miner from Kls-'Car, appeared at the altur with his intended bide. Alter much persuasion, John answered .he tirst question by saying "I will," but after wards preserved a dead silence, and notwith standing the entreaties of minister and friends, would not answer another word. The minister and clerk thought at first he must be either deaf or dumb; but, without ussierniinf any reason, Jobn forthwith hastened out of the church. He proceeded to the Star Inn, close by, where in consequence of the novel tcene becoming known throughout tbe village, a mob of womn and children soon eatuered aud mode the place loo hot for him.
