TDE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, WEDNESDAY t JANUARY 5, 1870. CmMnnul from the rirel 7i0.

This humane and phi lanthropic rervlcn la being; pcrlormed by intelligent i!leen and faithful t vioiiers, whl h will be more fully Hhown by their report, couim.inluated for the Inlonnuttoti of the l.cKlslaturc.

Most heartily have the people endorsed the nast ae' ion of their representatives In relation to these vehcols, and there exists not a single doubt but that they will moHt cordially approve all necessary ap propriations for the continuance of the support, edu cation, and guordlunshlp of these adopted children or the Commonwealth. To tho honor, State pride, ami humanity of the Legislature Is contlded the gtiai (Unit and maintaining; of these sacred Interests, uiid In the faithful discharge of tlilB noble duly, you aliaU receive from iuo a special and zealous concur rence. A;riitnral Colle. The establishment of this college was undoubtedly Intended ns a progressive niovtmmit, and under the Impression that It would contribute much to the easy acquisition of a com bined knowledge of agriculture, science, and litera ture, nud to promote the practical education of the industrial classes in the several pursuits of Ufa, It lius been fostered by the most liberal legislation, and Is endowed with the sum of $;iSl,rsoo, Invested In United Htntcs and Pennsylvania bonds, yielding an SfiKreKHte Interest this year of 125,551 HO, which has been paid to the trustees of the Institution. Thus far the most satisfactory results from the workings or the college have not been realized. But It Is now nder tlio direction of a president anil six learned proreHRors. It receives for Its pupils only males over the are of fllteen years, qualiiled for admission by a good common school educa tion. Thcro are In It at present forty-live ntudeuts, with a fair prospect of a considerable increase In number. Tul'ion, board, and the ordinary necessaries of life are there fur nished at a less rate thau is generally demanded for boarding alone, thus airording an extraordinary op portunity to the youth of tho country to acquire an accomplished education with comparatively small expenditures. Under these circumstances the col lege deserves the indulgent sympathy and support of the people Three experimental farms are connected with the college, purchased at an aggregate cost of i:i,8SS-50. une Is located ut the college, one la Indiana county, and one In Chester county. Operations have been commenced upon them under the prescribed pro gramme of a series of experiments with promises of complete success; tho results of which are to be re ported annually to the Legislature by the Professor of Agriculture. It is conlidently expected that tho record of these experimental results will prove li ghly interesting and greatly beneficial to the com munity. MILITARY. The military department Is ono of great lmpor taBi e to tuo honorable history of the Commonwealth, and to that of her citizens Individually. It Is the cusioitluu of all the military records of the State, embracing lhatof every oltleer and private soldier, ami the history of every military transaction per formed by tho State for tho suppression of tho JKo belliou. it has ulso in Its custody all tho regimental, fetato, and national flHgs borne by our soldiers, and many trophies of war won by -,helr valor on the lleld ; all of which should be systematically and carefully preserved and perpetuated. Ihiriiiff the last three years all the staff officers rendered necessary by tho war, and the diiroient ottiees established for the convenience of the sol diers, have been, discontinued, and the duties performed by them, us well as the oltluial books and papers, have been transferred to the Adjutant iueral's department, lie is, therefore, the only military oilloer remaining to whom recourse is con stantly had for statistics and Information, not only by fie soldiers and their relalves and attorneys, but ly other States and by tho War Department at Washington. All tliesu circumstances, connected with the nourishing condition of the volunteer mi litia in the State, induce me to request the continu ance of legislative favor for tho Adjutant-Ueueral's ilepartment, and that It may be generously supplied with siicn appropriations as have been requested by the A.ijutaiit-deneral for that olllce. An unusual martul activity prevails throughout the Siate, but more particularly In Philadelphia. . MILITARY HISTORY. The report of the State Historian Is deserving of your careful attention. In it yon will tlnd a detailed account of the operations of his department from Its commencement to the present time. The work entrusted to bis care is one of uo ordinary character ami responsibility, requiring talents of a high order, patient Industry, careful research, and unbiased JudgmeiiC Tho labor to be performed Is immense, and can only be properly appreciated by those fully acquainted with Its magnitude. It embraces a faithful account of all the organizations of. Pennsyl vania troops during the war of the itebelllon; the collection and adjustment, In a comprehensive form, of each military organization, and an unpre judiced description of all military transactions of Importance, so far as the volunteers of this State are concerned, in the camp aud the field, through out tho most terridic conflict of arms that has ever occurred in the history of the world. The pronrlety of such a work must bo apparent to every intelligent citizen ortbo Commonwealth. Certainly it is due to the citizen soldiers, who offered their lives In the defense or their country, that their names should, at least, receive a piace lu the archives of the State, towards whose honor and giory their gallant deeds have so largely contributed. The work of the Historian, when completed, wilt embrace four large octavo volumes, in which the name of every Pennsylvania volunteer will have It appropriate place. Two of these volumes are already completed, in a manner highly creditable to tna Commonwealth. The third Is rapidly pro gressing, and with a generous appropria tion ou the part of your honorable body, the entire history will be executed, if not before, soon after the close of the present year. Most other Stales aro publishing histories similar to this, and it is duo to the Importance of the subject, aud to the credit of the state, that Pennsylva nia should not bo- behind In this particular under taking. HOME FOB DIHARIED SOLDIERS. 1 hero is probably no Slate in the American Union lu; has contributed more liberally toward tho sup poitof chuntable and bcuevoleut Institutions thau that of Pennsylvania. Tlte appropriations annually made for tho benefit of the aolillera orphans' schools, iiHilums for the deaf aud dumb,, bliud, uud insane, aud many similar worthy establishments in which the poor, helpless, and otherwise friendless aro cared aud provided for. reilect great credit upon the Legislatures who have douuted the requisite inea!;sior their support, Hut there Is one other In v.i ii ut inn needed, mid the eluiins fur which are more lUoi'gly urged by every principle oi humanity aud pa triotism tliaii any otiicr now lu existence, which nm not Ti t lccuhtd the, altcntl u its vt Import m.e Imperatively dciiiamli This is a home for tue K.IiIhts wt.o have '-borne the buttle" in defense of Hi.- honor, Integrity, and pr-rpetuity of ihe American Linen.

INBL'KANia PKI'AKTUKNT. Iii two former communications your attention was railed to tho importance of cstahllrdiing lu the Ht ita an niMirafico tit-purl ment similar to those existing lu other Slates. Hut the Legislature has thus far fulled to give the subject that consideration which Interests of such magnitude to tho poople seem to oeniRi'il. lusiiiance departments in some of the hUtes are regarded if paramount Importance, a tin y llel tuall.y guard the Ink resit of the insured, ant tiiiotigh their healthy liitlunuce frauds and spu rious coinpituicH, so common lu Pennsylvania, are rendered ulmost Impossible. The greatest benefits would certainly accrue both to tho companies nud tioili : -holders, as has already been demonstrated lu lie States of Now York mid MnHiai:husetfs, where iIih nibjict of iiisuraace has received the most care iul i-;i.dy and alltiitiou, and been reduced to a cl- nfl- I I'ltu I iicnce oi an wtio seek Its proteciiou. 1 necessity for such a department. with lull powers to organize and ex amine all Insurance companies, is sanctioned by the wisdom of exnertetiei. And ux I Imve hernUiforn re- i n:arked, the icsuH of tho protection thus airorded, Is, that whilst foreign companies lo Immense busi ness in this State, so little confidence is had lu those of Pennsylvania that their business Is almoU en tirely confined within tho Stale limits; aud even here foreign companies mnlntaln an a-icetiilnncy. In view of theso ric.ts, I earnestly repent the ri conimenilntlon inaile to the Lerrlsbiiuro at Its last session, that an Insurance department be established and a superintendent appointed by law, who shall have supervision and control over all Insurance companies allowed to transact business wllliln tho State. The community is deeply Interested In this iiiotter, and demands legislative protection. Our laws in relation to life insurance companies are defective nnd need revision ami correction. W ithout the protection refe.red to these laws bear tineqtiHliy upon our own and lorelgn companies. The latter, being protected by legislative enactment, are enabled to transact an Immense amount of business within the limits of this Commonwealth, whilst onr companies, having no such protection, can do but little in other States. Tho consequence is that for eign companies can readily afford to pay a license of fit hundred dollar to conduct tholr extensive ope rations In Pennsylvania, whilst our companies would be sorely oppressed by the Imposition of the same license tax In States whers their operations are ex ceedingly limited. And yet these other States have retaliated upon our license law, by adopting Its pro visions and demanding from our companies the fame amount of license In each State that we de mand of their companies in ours. Theso la not only oppressive to our own neglected companies, but It fulls to furnish a just and equitable revenue from the various companies for the amount of business transacted. TTIK ATONDAT.H TUSARTKIl. Tlie recent disaster In tho Avondale coal mine, In Luzerne county. Is still fresh lu tho minds of the people. It caused a thrill of horror to spread throughout the country; and even In Kuropo It has been productive of the most pa'nful emotions aud deepest sorrow for the sud'ercrs. Women and children who had been accustomed to regard the occupation of the miner as one of ordinary character, now look upon It as fraught with danger, and part with rela tives and friends, when about to pursue thoir peril ous occupation, with fearful forebodings. And even the si urdy miner himself trembles at his dangerous calling, and demands greater protection than has hitherto been ail'orded. (The Governor then details at length tho clrcum cumstances of tho Avondale disaster, with which our readers are already familiar.) The mines In many cases are constructed and managed in the most selfish and parsimonious milli ner, tho owners exacting tho largest amount of prolit from them, from the least possl.lo outlay; consequently, some of thorn, like that of the Avondale, are nothing but underground man-traps, without any other outlet than woo len chimneys, and these constantly liable to become blazing volcanoes, through which escape Is impos sible. The lives of Houseful a class of men as our miners should not and must not be permitted to be thus sacrillced upon the altar of hiniun cupidity. Yet a reprehensiblo neglect to give them tliat pro tection by law which their viiluaolu services, at best laborious nnd dangerous, unquestionably deserve, renders our mining system worse tlun that of any other country, whilst our iniuing Interests are un equalled by those of any other part of tho world. The most appalling accidents on record have been traced to unsaie methods of ventilation, and more especially to the employment of furnaces al or near the bottom of tho shafts. Where the furnace Is used, and the smoke Is carried through a wooden ehlmuev, it seems almost certain that, sooner or later, by tlio inevitable accumulation of soot or carbon upon the fiame-work, it must lgnllo from the ascending sparks or from the heat or the furnace, and a cou Uugration ensue. To guard against this it should hi made obligatory, If the ventilating furnace bo still allowed, to build the chimneys, the sides of the shaft, and the buildings surrounding- It nt Hie t .p with In combustible muterlols. Hut even this preeiutlon Is not a sure safeguard, lor the lire Is liable a! any moment to communicate Willi the "lire-dump" or other gaseous vapors, that, despite ull known means of prevention, will generate lu the best, regulated mines. The propriety of dispensing entirely, there fore, with the furnuce has received the serious con sideration of scientific miners ami engineers, and the fan, in many instances, has been substituted, which, being worked by machinery ut tho surface, produces n more conatant current of air, dispenses it mote freely through tho gangways and chambers, and in all respects accomplishes the obj ct deslied with better effect ; and when the shafts aud sur face Mtlldlngs are tire-proof, without the pos sibility of (lunger. This system or ventila tion, with advantages ho palpably ob vious, will, no doubt, bu universally adopted. But the vtry nature of mining operations subjects them to other duugers. Tho mill und rooting of tlio mines, from the effects of blasting and other causes, frequently give wsy and fill up the gangways so as to render them Impassable, as In ihe more recent calamity at Stockton, which resulted In tuo death of ten persons. Hence It Is absolutely necessary, und should be imperatively demanded, that every mine should have more than a tingle avenue of Ingress and egress. Whether us regards lire, or auy other source of danger to which tho minor Is exposed, this is his surest promise of safety. Whatever FjBtern of ventilation may bo approved, or safety lump adopted, the means of escape from tho mines, whea dunger occurs, will depend very materially upon the provision made for tiie exit of the miner. The best nieUiod ol constructing, ventilating, and working the mines should be unhesitatingly adrpttd; and the sjstcm adiiytcd rigidly enforced. The Inquiry, therefore, Into tlfo causes which pro duced this shocking cutastrophe the various theo ries that have been promulgated concerning It, the remedies for the prevention of similar occurrences hereafter, the construction and ventilation of col lieries, and the modes of conducting their operations so- Hiut the operutives mav prosecute their labor without Imperilling their lives, are proper subjects for legislative consideration. Such lttws as you may enact can most certainly be enforced by competent Inspectors In the mining dis tricts, w ho should be chosen with strict regard to character, Integrity, capability, and sclentlllc know ledge, and whose duties should be so specially de ll in d that they cannot be misunderstood. I therefore most respectfully and earnestly reoom mend i hat this whole subject receive the attention lis importance demands, and that a law be passed, so general In Its character and so stringent In Its provision! that the people of this Commonwealth, will never again be appalled by a calamity within her Uniits eo sad as that of Avondale. BOARD OK rUBMC mAKITIIS. In accordance with an act of the lust Legislature, a Louid of Public 1 huiltles has been appointed, con sisting of the following gentlemen, viz. : General Thouuis L. Kane, for live yeurs; V. B, Pennlman, lifcu., lour years; Hon. O Dnwsou Coleman, three years ; George L. Harrison, Esq. two years; and , one year. Tho board organized by exiling General Kane, President, and Hon. Wilmer Woithlngton, Secretary and General Agent. From the establishment of this board, aud especially from the high character and quallllcat Ions of the gentle men who have consented to assume Its Important trubls and responsibilities, we h ive reason to hope for tho most benelleial results. This change In the management of our charitable o flairs Is deemed of the highest lu porlimce by many persons Intimately conversant with the workings uud management of these institutions. A thorough review of all the establishments re ceivlt g appropriations from the Slate by this boarj will give an usjmaneo to tie Legislature and tho people, which they have never heretofore possessed, that their benefactions wlil bo worthily bestowed and properly employed. Some Hmo during tho present session, the board will present to the Legislature a report of the condl tloi. uud requirements of tho various Institutions that have been recipients of appropilatlons from the State, with such recomim udatlons as may be deemed necessary ; and, therefore, no Information concern ing them, except the annual reports of the superin tendents, will at present bu lal.1 before you. 11KVIMI0N OV THK CIVIL COUB. Tho law on this subject does not contemplate a full report from the uomtulssiouers 'A revise the general statutes ( f tho Stale before the session of Isil. It may, however, be Important to state that this work has so fur progressed as to make It almost certuin that It will be completed und ready for t!ie press so soon after the close of the present session as will allow time to bung within the code such of your ciiHclinentfi us inuy wild propriety bu Incorporated. The commissioners will report ior your considera tion the revised school laws, us the present edition Is exhausted, and it would lie Inexpedient to reprint them, when tf-.ey might be superseded by others In the cours,e of the current yeur. A general road law, and ono for the support and maintenance of the poor, havo heretofore beeu re ported, but not definitely acted up ui ; and the f re fluent demands made for such etia :tmeuts to correct many existing b,.scs, nnd supply a common publlu wuiii, render It desirable tliut these euuetmeuU should receive your early attention. 'JheStute census will bo taken during the year, anil the law fur lis regulation having in it some pro visions not now required, a revised bill will be pre sented by the Commissioners for legislative action. In view of the changes iWiich the revised code Is expected to produce, it is desirable that no mora laws or a general character be emu led than Is Indis pensably neoesMiry, as they might occasion a ne cessity lor a revision of what has already motived appropriate attention, anal cause delay lu the com pletion of the work. thison iusni'MNB. In accordance with a la'V approved April 1:1. ISflT, Mi'.i.' ii li. DukuiSoU, Ksq., of Philadelphia, was enee which commnndJi th( approbation anl eonfi appointed "to visit, for philanthropic pnrposes, the prisons and almshouses in the various counties of the Commonwealth." His second report, which Is here with presented, embraces a vast amount of useful liiloriuallon, and will lie found ti glily Interesting and worthy of mature 'consideration. It will be seen that while some of our county prisons nave lieen constructed and are being conducted with strlet regard to tho proper objects of punishment., others are utterly unlit for auy such purposes, a'ld are a disgrace and rcproscih to a civilized age and a Christian people. The Commissioner, in regard to some of these, describes them "as beln? unsnfo, whero prisoners could not be held unless loaded with dial ns, where the sexes were not separated, where there was no discipline, or any effort made towards the moral or religious Improvement of tho Inmates; tho bnlldinos totally unlit for tho purposes of a prison ; and where the prisoners become schooled In vice, and eventually graduated prepared for a life of lawlessness." Iu some of the prisons the cells are re presented as contracted dungeons, Into which not a ray of sunshine or adraftttf pure air can enter, and In which a human being could not possibly live through a lengthy term of sentence. And In still others, In consequence of the want of proper accommodations, all classes of criminals, from the most hardened and aged to the youth of tender years, are permitted to congregate, and Indulge In card playing, profanity, and almost every species of Immorality aud crlmo. Lndcr such circumstances, reformation, which Is the prand object of divine, and should be of all human laws and punishments. Is rendered impossible; whilst hideous lessons of vice ar taught and learned, to be practised when future opportunity occurs. This is all wrong, and a remedy for the evil should by;all means be applied. No community has a moral or legal right to lmilct punishment as a more retalia tory measure, or In such a manner as to endanger the health and life of the criminal, to deaden him to all the better sensibilities or his nature, and to abso lutely harden him to the commission of crime. The commissioners appointed "to Inquire Into tho various systems of prison discipline, as practised In other States and countries, as com pared with what is known as the Pennsyl vania system," will submit you tholr report at an early duy, from which you will learn that the capaulty of our penitentiaries is nt present competent for the sure keeping aud proper punishment or all oll'enders of the higher grades, aud that workhouses and houses of correction are needed for those whose crimes are of a more trivial character, and whose reformation and future usefulness may be accom plished by a humane system of discipline, such as will be recommended. THE JUPICIARY. Communications have been received from various parts of tho State, representing that tho present judicial force is inadequate for the purposes- de signed. Since the number of judges was fixed, tho business of the courts has greatly increased, with our rapidly expanding population, and the multipli cation of commercial and business operations of our growing Commonwealth. How far relief should be airorded Is well worthy of careful consideration. In one district of the Supreme Court over seven hundred new cases have been docketed within one year. Many of these Involve very largo amounts, and Important legal principles; and their proper consideiatlon Imposes upon the judges great labor and responsibility. In tho other districts of this Court the argument lists are also becoming so crowded that It Is impossible to dispose of the busi ness with that promptness and intelligence de manded by tho public Interests; nnd especially with one of tho Judges, as now required bv law, assigned to duty In the Court of Msi Prlus at Philadelphia. I therefore earnestly recommend an additional Judge lor this Court, believing 11 a public necessity, lu Jus tice to the many suitors, nnd to the Judges, who have more work than should bo required of the present number of men, let them be ever so laborious and etllclcut. FARD0N3. It has grown Into a custom to regard an applica tion for Kxccutivo clemency as au indispensable pan of the machinery of criminal justice. Because the (executive Is invested with the power to pardon, It Is by many supposed that he has not only the right, but that It is his duty to examine Into everv allegation of error, and give a favorable response to every application; and hence, pctttlous for pardim nre becoming so numerous that tlio mere examina tion of them Is exhaustive of a large amount of valuable time, at least an hour lu each case, exclu sive of the time oc-upled in correspondence with tho judges, district attorneys, and other parties. Criminals ore no sooner convicted than their friends uud other Interested parties, who seem to thluk that It Is the Governor's constitutional duty to nullify the laws Instead of seeing that tln;y are faithfully executed, prepare a raid upon him, and employ in their importunities for pardon every device tha . human Ingenuity can suggest; uud il but a tltlni of tho representations set lorth wero hclle.vud, o'ie would bo led to supposo that our courts are dally guilty of ihe grossest blunders, and that Justice Is fur more blind ilinn she has ever beeu painted by the most skilllul urtitft. During the year ending December fit, 1S69, there have been fifteen linudred and llfty applications tot pardon, of which slxty-lwo, or four percent., were grunted, eleven hundred uud eight rejected, ami three hundred und eighty aro still under advise inent, For Rome reason, not easily understood. It seems that public sentiment has become perverted on this Important subject of pardons. The framers of our government, as 1 understand it, never contemplated or Intended nn indiscriminate use of the pardoning power. It was only designed for the correction of manliest errors or oppressions, palpable mistakes, cases vt after-discovered evidence, and others of exceptional character. Both the theory of our gov ernment and pubiio policy require that tho pardon ing power should be kept within theso reasonable limits, and not be made an instrument to defeat the execution or the laws and the administration of pubiio justice. All ordluary cases, therefore, are wholly outside of and in conflict with the principle on which Kxecutlve clemency should be based, and nono such should be presented for consideration. It is earnestly hoped the public will nnderstand and act lu accordance with this view of the subject, as due alike to the Executive and a proper regard for the execution of tho laws. NATIONAL AFFAIRS. Having laid before you a general survey or the a II airs and condition of the Slate, which relate to the common welfare, It uirordi me also the highest .gratlilcailnn to add that the amicable Intercourse and pleasant relations which have so long ex isted between the government of Pennsylvania and the governments of all the other States and of the Union, continue unimpaired; and consequently, our lesolutlon "to; preserve, protect, and derend" these fundamental principles of humanity, equal rights and equal justice to all, universal freedom and a united country. Is greatly strengthened. The general relations of the INatlonal Government, an set forth lu the recent annual message of tho Pre sident, continue to be "peace at borne and without entangling alliances abroad;" the reconstruction of the Slates lately in rebellion Is belli n raptnlv accom plishedthe revenues ure falihfully collected the national debt is being liquidated ut the rate of about one hundred million dollars per annum, aud repu dlalloiilihs been emphatically repudiated. A strict and uncompromising adherence to this policy by a prudent nud economical administration has already restored the national character to the fullest confi de nee in the minds, not only of our countrymen but oi foreigners, aud has ailaved all spirit of discontent thitt might have been dangerous to the stability of tan institutions. 'i here is another Bubject also of national Import ance tlnliiiii g our attention, because it directly umctsthe lndusttial operations In which Pennsyl vania Is so largely interested. Movements, charac terized with the greatest energy, are now being luudo by these Interested in free trade, to Induce Cong res to take such action as will permit the freo lutn Unction of steel, iron, and iron materials for shipbuilding, and mauy other modifications of tho tariil'laws. Suould audi ell'orta be successful, the result must prove dlsustrons to the great coal, iron, and ther Interests of our Stute, diminishing the I roductlon or Iron aud other manufactured articles, and consequently the consumption of coal, aud be deal ructive to our valuable home markets. It would also prove disastrous to many of our capitalists and working people depriving tliera of all reasonable prospucts of future activity and remunerating wages and bring our producers luta a ruinous com- Sent ion with pauper labor from abroad, o far as the present system Affords pro tection to the manufactures, labor and pro ducts of Pennsylvania, It Is obligatory upon us to use all favorable means to prevent any reduction of existing duties. Our miners, laborers, and manu facturers should not 'be thrown out of employment by the proposed change of duties on forelgu Im ports, winch lias always heretofore resulted In the probti ation of every department of trade, labor, aud business, and entailed upou us the manifold evils of National, Stale, and individual bankruptcy. We owe it as a duty to our constituents to Instruct our Senators and request our KepicsouUtives lu Con gress to oppose all such attempts. For the same reasons we should oppose any reciprocity treat! vs by which the people of Canada can gain advantages over onr owu lumbermen, farmers, aud other pro ducers within our limits. While acknowledging the rightful constitutional authority of the Geneial Government to dispose ef all questions relative to national a Hairs, aud while In no manner seemg to Interfere wlih the exercise of thut authority,! cannot refruin from alluding to the fact thut for more than a year a brave people In Cuba have been struggling for their Independence against great odds, lu the face or barbarities aud atrocities w hich will forever bo a foul blot upon the history of Spain. We should Indeed be unmindful of humanity and of the greatness of our nationality, If we ouiilted to notice this patriotic ellort by the Cubans to throw oir the Spanish yoke, uud like our ow n ancistors, "to assume among the powers of the IB' th the separate uud equal station to which nature and nuluie's God enutlo them." The new oi giinluliou has abolished slavery, uud attested 1U light not only to onr sympathy bnt to recognition, by the vigor and determination of Its reslstanoo to the oppressions of the mother country. Almost from Ihe hegtjinlng of our National Government, Congress has furnished numerous precedents for the action here Indicated, even when the people strug gling for libetfy were not upon tho American contl lwU l ' recognized Greece Inlher eirorts to cstals IIbIi her nationality agslnst Turkish oppression. The snmo spirit prevailed not only towards Poland, Italy and Hungary, hut to Ireland In all her move ments to regain her long lost nationality. Thoso countries had the nnmlstakablo sympathy of the people of the United States, and our public men. In every branch of the Government, never hesitated to speak lu their defense. In the case of the French revolution, the statesmen of America gave every encouragement to the people of that country to establish a republican form of government. I pon this continent there are numerous Instances of active sympathies with tho struggles of the people for liberty In various nations. In the case of Texas, during her connictwith Mexico, she notonlyhad our undisguised friendship, but obtained onr recog nition of her Independent nationality, and soon afterwards she was annexed to our great sisterhood of States, It is In singular contrast with these historic prece dents, that the people of Cnba have as yet received no national encouragement or recognition, while they are Imitating the examplo of our fathers, who, colni''. struck down the hand which oppressed them, and established for them selves a free and Independent government. Thcro Is no question but that the patriot of Cuba have the warm and emphatic sympathy of a great maiority of the people of this and other States, and I but give utterance to what Is au abiding sentiment among the masses, when I declare a hearty sympathy wltn the people of that island now endeavoring to cast off the yoke of oppression fastened so long upon them by an Intolerant Government, The gem of the An tilles of right belongs to republican rule, and Is, to all intents and purposes, covered by the Mouroe doctrine, so that whatever recognition the Govern ment might extend to republicans of Cuba, It would only amount to the practical enforcement of what pur nation has so long advanced In thoory. Cuba Is an American island. Geographically it belongs to the United States. Its acquisition has boon a leading principle with many of our ablest Btutcsmen from an early period In our his tory. Jefferson, Madison, Adams, Clay, Van Buren, Buchanan, and many others advocated the Incorporation of Cuba Into the Union. It is hoped the time will soon come, If it has not already already atrlved, when by the enunciation of a prompt and decided policy a brave people may be recognized as independent, and the cause of repub lican principles receive new encouragement. The management of our national Ununces is one of the most delicate and Important questions now ut der consideration by the American poople; and while it Is not my Intention to oirer any plan to set tle a matter which seems to give so much trouble to many of our most experienced financiers, a few suggestions moy not be out of place. It will be rcsicmlered that by the establishment of onr national banks, the best and safest paper cur rent. v that ever existed in this nation haj been n Horded. Great caution should therefore be taken not to mar a system that has been so generally benelleial. When the Government established the national banks, our state bunks were taxed out of existence anrt destroyed as such, but In many instances they were renewed by tho solemn enactment of Congress, under whose supervision they were promised a Just, kind, and fostering care. It seems unjust, therefore, that the Government should propose to withdraw a pirt of their circulation from them and give It to new ones to be organized where none now exist. If new banks should be created wherever they maybe required, they should receive their circulation from an In crease of the amount now authorized by law, the circulation to be the same as tlio banks row have, and on the same kind of securities. In my opinion, a policy of expansion of the currency should be adopted that will give case nud comfort to tho people, and that will cheer up and reassure our busi ness men and put the wheels of commerce, manu factures, aud labor In full operation. It will prevent a decline in the revenues derived from the tariff and internal taxation, and will save thousands of citizens from the crushing effects of contraction. As a part ol the same policy, there should bo no hesitation olu ut the abandonment of the Idea of reducing tho currency by the adoption of any plan to curtail the amount of legal-tenders now in circulation. The constant una natural approach to specie pay ments Is t'.ie only safe mode, in my opinion, to ac complish thut desirable end. Any compulsory law flint may be enacted wlil lu all probability be a fail ure. 1 do not hesitate to say that tho contraction of the cuirency at this time would bo productive of great injury both to Individuals oud to the general Interests of the nation. Let there be a liberal en couragement of railroads, manufactures, and every project that will aliord employment uud compena ti'ii to our tolling millions. Encourage a vigorous collection of the revenues on luxuries. Maintain a strong treasury, with gold Buillclent to koep a chock upon thoso who might be disposed to disturb the natural tendency towards specie payments, or for purposes of speculation. There should be a steady but moderate reduction of the national debt, a funding of the present six percent. live-twenty bonds iu others, at a lower rate of Interest, not by compulsion but by fair dealing, and tho establishing of a sinking fund, at such a rate cs will pay off the debt In about thirty years. We shall then not only Uud the business of the country reviving, but our business men ready to expand their operations with the greatest encouragement. The foregoing are tho only subjects connected with State and national affairs that 1 have deemed of sufficient importance to offer for your considera tion at the present time; and I conclude by express ing the hope that your session will be marked by harmony among yourselves and the members of the several State departments, and your deliberations result In lasting benefit to the Commonwealth.
