subject of instruction, the natural science, in their relation 3nd application to practical agri cultuie, wHI also be taught. The student of the institution Will be enabled to test, in his daily occupation," the trnth and value of the: knowledge communicated. Much of the land connected with the school ha 6 been successfully cultivated during the past year. Orchatds of every variety of fruit and hedges have been planted, and many valuable improvements made. A double storied barn, laige tuid convenient, as also the farmer's house and pan of the out-buildings have been erected and occupied. From the report of the trustees we learn that "a contract Lao lecn made for the erection of an cJifife calculated for the'residence of Prc fctsors, Lecture Hulls and Dormitories for •tudents, to Le built of stone, four stories high, two hundred and thirty-three feet in front, wiih wings, and to cost fifty-five thousand dollars. This building is already in progress, and it is hoped that a part of it may be put un der roof and be so far Completed as to enable the Board to make arrangements to receive a few students belorc the close of the current year." The Legislature, at their last session, i appropriated filty thousand dollars to this in- ! stitution, one-half of which has been paid; (he remaining twenty-live thou-ami dollars to be paid on condition that an equal sum be realized trom other sources, within tiuee years froui the ; passage ol the act making the appropriation. 'lie objects and character of this institution its relation to agricultural knowledge, and as j (fce pioneer iu the great work of agricultural j education,commend it to thegeuerous patronage i of the Legislature, and to the 'Confidence arid j liberality of ihe people of the Commonwealth, j ihe report to be submitted by the Super- j intendent ot Common Schools will present u j clear iiud satisfactory statement of tho gene- ■ ral operation ot the system during the past j year. Jhe separation of the School from the State Department, by the act of the last sessiou, was a just tiiouie to the importance and value of our common school system. The great educa tional interests ol the State, the caro and j guardianship of the intellectual, social aud i moral improvement of the youth of ihe Com- j Uicuwealth, shouid occupy a prominent aud in dependent position among the departments of! the government. It ihe care ot the treasure ' ot the Cominouwealth, the development of her j material wealth, and the advancement of her j pilitteo-econc mical interests, have received ! tri m the government the marked and distinct- 1 'tve recognition ot their importance, how much more should the luiud of hot youth— with its j uimdrous activities—iis constantly unfolding j eutrgies, and its infinite superiority to the | -material and physical, claim a still higher con- I bidcratioD, and receive trom the representatives j of the people, a more honored recognition. its an luutpenueut department, greater ! ifficitucy wiil be given to the System—a more j direct and immediate supervision will bo se cured — ihe dt tails ot its operation more care- ( luily observed—its deficiencies discovered—its 1 errors corrected—the accomplishment of its noble purposes and objects rendered more aai/gWutfs''tfilA^gbifßffig ; lnriuicc of 'political •excitement, and partisan prejudice. ihe country supertntcndency, tested by ex- ! q crieucc, has realized tho just expectations of j •the friends ot *he measure, ami uray now be re- j igarded as a penuameut ainl indispensable part ! ot tbe system. When committed to Competent men, it lias accomplished a noble work iu pro moting the success and usefulness ot our com- i u-cu schools; and wherever the duties of the vffioe have been faithfully performed, the char- ! actor of tbe schools, has been elevated, their j stumbcr and ihe number ot scholars increased, ! ami Ihe coufi icnce aud encouragement of the public secured. Iu the hands of incouipcteut i men, these results have uot been obtained, but, on tiie contrary, opposition I-.as been provoked, and the cause of coinmoir school education re- j •arded. This office should not be committed to 1 any hut men thoroughly qualified by education *Od experience for the performance of its ar duous aud responsible dures; and if the school directors of any county, in disregard of their i obligations, from opposition either to ttie system i or the office, select au incompetent person for ■ the place, the odium of the act, and of failure j to secure ihe benefits resulting froiu a proper | tnd inti i.ijjent administration of the office,! should rest upon them, and not upon the law I authorizing ihe appointment. The defects of the system, when clearly established, shouid be j promptly corrected; but change is not always, icform: and innovation, induced bv selfishness or prejudice, may endanger its pertnantney uud j destroy its efficiency. The act of the 20th day of May, 1857, pro viding for the due training of teachers for the COIoUK)n schools of the B'tate, by encouraging the establishment of Normal schools within the districts designated in the law, has received the cordial approbation of ail interested in the success ot our common schools. The passage of that act inaugurated a new era in the history of common schools education tu Pennsylvania. It is a movement in the right direction; full of encouragement and hope for the greater per fect iou and usefulness of the system. Large uod enthusiastic meetings of the friends of education have been held, in many of the dis tricts, to promote the estsblisliiocnt of Norma] schools, as contemplated by the act; and liberal sums of money Lave bneu subscribed to secure this desirable object. A noble work has been '•ouimeuced, ami sustained by individual enter prise and liberality—encouraged by the State, und vindicated by its own iutrinste merit, it must go on until State Normal schools, in number and efficiency, equal to the supply of well-trained teachers, shall become the just pride and boast of Pennsylvania. Ihe organic structure of our system is as pcifect, perhaps, as human legislation can make it; hut it needs the competent and thoroughly traiued teacher to give it greater vitality and efficiency, and secure the full accomplishment of the put poses of this creation. The teacher, the properly educated, the well traiued, the scientific teacher, is the great want of the sys tem. We need the fdic/tinir intnd, not tint automaton movements of mere physical or ganization or antiquated routine, to direct ami control the intellectual energies of the youth of the Commonwealth. We required miud, educated miud, iu our schools, that knowledge may be commuuicuted, not only effectively and praciieaiiy,! ut that in training the young, they may be taught to think—and how to think— to investigate, ami ko-jw for themselves, and thus be titled and prepared for the high aud respon •ibie duties of the man and the citizen. This deficiency can only be supplied by State 'Normal schools for the education of teachers. To them we must look. The future is full of hope. Much has already been done to provide, for their establishment and support. In con nection with honorable individual effort, more legislative encouragement may be required. It should be given cheerfully and promptly. No subject of greater interest can ciuita your at tention; no one appeals with more reasou and tiuth, to duty and patriotism. Teachers* institutes, as auxiliary to Normal schools, should be aided by the State. — Through their "gency, sustained by the uoble and self-denying efforts of the teachers them selves, much good has been accomplished iu educating and training teachers, and in digni fying a profession too long undervalued by those most deeply interested in their useful | labors. in the great work of popular education i there should be no retrograde movement in : Pennsylvania; no yielding to the impotent I clamor of ignorance, selfishness or prejudice, in their attempts to stay its progress. These, ; one and all, may denounce and condemn, but 1 virtue, patriotism, truth, bid yon onward. Lot the system he maintained in its unity and use fulness; let it be improved and perfected in its details; but le' no act of yours impair its strength, or mar the beauty and harmony of its proportions. Based us our institutions are on the will of the people—dependent for preservation on their virtue and intelligence—knowledge with us should occupy the high position to which it is so pre-eminently entitled. Knowledge founded upon the pure principles of eternal truth, is the crowning glory of the citizen— the safeguard and defence of the State. Ed ucation, full and free to all, is the boon we ask for the children of the Commonwealth— it is the duty, paramount to alt others, the State owes to tier citizens, The aid of the Commonwealth should De liberally bestowed.— The subject, iu all its relations, is warmly com mended to the generous care and patronage of tho Legislature. Legislation, Whilst propelly encouraging the development of the material wealth of the State, should reeagnize the still higher obliga tion to improve the sodiuf, intellectual and moral condition of the people. Tho amelio ration of ht.-iiiHU suffering, the reformation of the eftUtg, susd the correction of youthful vf ciousncss, are objects thbt deserve the atten tion of the philanthropist and statesman. To secure these results, the educational, cbai ita hlc and reformatory in-titiuHns of the Com monwealth should be fostered aud encouraged by libera! legislation. Tito reports of the Siate Lunatic Hospital, a: ilarrisburg, and the Western Petinsylvaui.t Hospital Tor tbe Insane, at Pittsburg, will be laid before you, and will exhibit in detail their operations for tbe past year. Those institutions, in their objects and re sults, merit and should receive our warmest approbation. Tho condition of no class of suf fering humanity appeals with more thrilling power to our Sympathies, than that of the in sane. Ignorant of the frightful malady that oppresses them, shrouded iu the fearful g'oor.i c:al joys of home and friends, the aid of the benevolent and the benefactions of ihe Com monwealth should be liberally and eheerfaily given to them The House of Kefuge in Philadelphia, and tie Western House of Refuge near Pittsburg, again ask to share the bounty of the Common wealth. These schools for the erring, neglected and oul-cast children and youth of the State these homes where kindness ruies and love subdues tho vicious and incorrigible, should not be denied their request. The •♦Blind" and the "Deaf and Dumb" Asylums at Phiiadclphi•, and ihe Pennsylvania Training School for idiotic and feeble-4Jth'fed children, present their annual claim for vour sympathy and aid. Tie darkened eye, the silent longue, and the weakened intellect, in sorrow and saline-?, appeal to the representa tives of tho people for this boon. It com the refused. My views in relation to "local," "special" and "omnibus legislation," have been si fre quently expressed, iu communications to the Legislature, that their repetition now is unne cessary. Such legislation, often so subversive of private rights —so detrimental to the public iuteiest, and gener ally so mischievous in its consequences—should not be encouraged or permit ci. The report of the Adjutant General will be laid before you. To it< valuable and import ant suggestions I invite your careful consid eration. I must again call the attentidn of flic Legis lature to the .subject of revising the militia laws of the State. They are so crude and imperfect, in many of their provisiou.% and obscuro in some of their enactments, that it is difficult to discover the object intended, or comprehend the duty enjoined. The powers and duties of the respective offi-ers connected with the mili tary organization of the Commonwealth, should be more clearly defined. Greater encourage ment should be givctf to the formation of vol unteei companies; the entire system should be remodeled, and placed in ft position to become alike honorable and useful to the State. The Select and Common Councils of the City of Philadelphia, by an ordinance passed the 7th day "f April, 1556, and officially communica ted to the Legislature at their last general ses sion, proposed to convey to the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania a lot of ground, in that city, for the purpose of erecting an Arsenal thereon. By the act of the Gtii of May, 1857, the Gov ernor was authorized to accept from the Mayor of Philadelphia, under the seal of the Corpora tion, the conveyance iu fee simple of the lot of ground proposed to bo douated to the Common wealth, for the purpose indicated. The con veyance was duly executed by the Mayor on the 26th day of June, 1857, and delivered and accepted on the 31st day of July following, as directed by the act. The fourth section of the same act authorized the Governor to apply the proceeds of the sale of tbo Arseual ftf Philadel phia (9-10,000 00) to the erection of an Arse nal on the lot of ground thus granted to the Commonwealth. In pursuance of the authori ty couforrcd, a contract was made with a skill ful and experienced Architect, for the erection and completion of the proposed Arseual; to be large and commodious, and adapted to the pur poses intended. The building was immediately commenced under the direct supervision of the AVijuUnt General, and is uow completed and ready foi the reeep'ion of the Arms, Military atofus and equipments of the Commonwealth.— It is of brick, three stories high, one hundred and cghty-two feet froDt on Filbert stroct, and BE&F0RB m 1 fifty feet in deptb. The walls of stone, are solid and massive. The cost of con struction did not exceed the appropriation. It is a substantial und elegant structure and will he a safe depository for the publio arm? —an ornament to the city, and a credit to the Coiu moCweaiili. One of my predecessors, in his annual com munication to the Legislature, immediately af ter the close of the late war with Mexico, re commended the erection of a monument to the memory of those citizen soldiers, from Penn sylvania, who died in the service of their coun try in that war. It is due to them, that some public acknowledgment of their patriotic ser vices should be made by the State. Concur ring in the sentiments expressed in the ccniuiu ideation to which reference has been made, I would also invite your attention to the p opri ety of erecting, iu the public grounds of the (J ipitol, a suitable monument to their memory ' —and thus honor those who by their undaunt ed bravery and invincible valor, honored our noble Commonwealth. The publication of the Geological Report tf ! tue State, under the superintendence of Prof. i Rogers, is rapidly apptoaching completion.— I The engravings and illustrations aie nearly j completed, und the first volume now in press, ■ which ho expects will be ready for delivery I soon after the meeting of ths Legislature, and | the second aud last volume before iis adjuurn ■ nient or immediately thereafter. Tho style and j general execution of the work will be equal, if cot superior, to that of nay iit:iiar publication jby our sister states. It will fully sustain the reputation of the distinguished Geologist, by i whom the surveys were made, and who has dn j voted so much care and attention to its publi ' cation. The large geological map of the State, which will accompany the volume*, will not be i finished before the close of the yoar. Great - care has been taken to make it perfect in all j its details. The whole work will be a valurt 1 Lie addition to geographies 1, as well a* geolo ; gioal, science, an-.l mh be alike useful to the j citizen's of the Commonwealth, and honorable j to its author. i The resolutions proposing amendments to the ! Constitution of the Common wealth, were pub j lished as directed by that instrument. In ac | cordatiee with th : provision* of the Act of 12 h iof May, 1857, the proposed amendments were I submitted to the people for their ratification or ! rejection, on the second Tuesday of October j last. The returns of said election have been received, afcri will be delivered to the .Speaker 'of tho Senate, s> directed by law, when the j fact of their adoption by a large majority, will : he officially ascertained and announced. The fourth section of the first article of the ! amended Constitution, requires the Legislature, | at their first session after tho adoption o( this amendment, to divide the city of Plfiiidedphia ] into Senatorial and Representative districts, in : the manner provided in that section. This du ty devolves upon you, and should bo performed ! with fidelity and due regard to ton interest and rights of the people of that city. Relieved from the Imputation of selfishness, 1 cannot forbear presenting for your consideration a subject that should claim your earliest uttug^ Scat of the Government, for the use of tho Governor of the Common wealth. Tho want of at uldic mansion ha* been seriously felt by all who bavo been oaiicd to occupy that official *i.i tioii. Whilst almost u.l our sister States have provided residences for the accommodation of tltoir Chief Magistrates, Peuusyivanii, for rea sons ti.it cvifiitttblc tj her as the "Keystone State," h>s refused to incur the expense ne cessary for the erection of such a building. The fat uro to provide, in this wanner, for his *<_- eotmnodatiou, subjects the Governor to much inconvenience, oftentimes vexations and annoy ing. A suttatdo house cannot always be ob tained hero, and in that event he is compelled to be shut up in the soouis of 1 hotel, or crowd ed with hi* family into some swell and obscure dwelling, alike unfitted for dntnestio comfort,or tha exhibition cf tha amenities and courtesies or social lite. It should be remembered that tha Governor of the Common wealth is regarded as thd representative ot the people, socially, as weil as politically, and therefore he should be enabled, by every proper appliance, to repre sent truly their social virtues and character.— Thi* he cannot do, to the extent deired, 011 the very meagre salary ho receives; and I do not hesitate to affirm that no one occupying this office oan, Without drawing largely ou his pri vate income, exercise the hospitalities or main tain the dignity properly associated with the position. I have avoided all usele-s expendi tures, au l yet the salary received, lias been wholly insufficient to defray the expenses ne cessarily incurred. This should not be permit ted. Every consideration of public policy,eve ry honorable impulse of proper State pride, re quire that the Obief Executive Officer of the CoiumouweallU should b*; provided with a suita ble resideuce, at the Seat of Government, aud With a salary adequate to the expenditure in cidcut to his high official position. In my last annual communication to the Gen eral Assembly, uiy sentiments wore fully ex pressed in reference to reiorui iu the naturali zation laws, and the admission of applicants to the right of einzeuship—to the prcservatisa of the purity of elections, by tho prevention and punishment offrauduieut aud iilogal voting,and the enactment of a judicious registry Uw to freedom as the great centre truth of American republicanism—the great law of American m tiouality—to the rights of the States, as Inde pendent .Sovereignties, aud tho power and duty of the General Government to prevent the ex tension of the institution of slavery to the free territories of the Union—to the wrongs of Kan sas, as exhibited 111 the violation of the doctrine of popular sovereignty by the General Govern ment, in its attempts, by tho military power of the country uud otherwise, to defeat the will of the majority iu that territory: wrongs still existing and aggravated by receut outrages pn ihe rights and privileges of that people, and approved by high National Executive authori ty. To the views then presented, you are te spectfully referred. ljy the expiration of the constitutional term, my official couoeotion with the Government of tho Uoiuioonwealth will soon curse. The pow ers, uuJef the constitution, vested i'u tue by the people, Will bo transferred to auother of timr own selection; and with uiy warmest wishes f>r his success, I will, relieved from the cares aid suxieties of official place, retire to private lib. Iu tho discharge ol the duties devolved me, I have endeavored to the extent of my ah!- j ity, to promote the interests and" hotter of jie 1 Commonwealth, aud the virtue, the happim,* antßprosperity of her citizens, it not suceeis- ' fat, I have a least labored to deserve sutTccis; j !and iu surrendering the trust committed to rue, by a generous people, my only regret will be, that I buve uot been able to servo our nolle | Ouuiiuonvuukh with a zeal aud ability equal to | the interest I feel in her progress and welfare. 1 Whatever of meat, or demerit may attach to | my adniinistration,whatever may be the opinions entertained of my conduct cf the affairs of State, : I can at least claim from my fellow citizens,with & full consciousuess of its right the award of good intention, and will enjoy in my retirement, the proud satisfaction of knowing that no act of mine, or of my administration, in tendency or fact, injured or corrupted the public morals, retarded the prosperity, or tariiislmd the fair | fame ol uiv native State. 1 will surrender to ! rny successor the cares and responsibilities of | the office I now hold with greuter cheerfulness j than 1 assumed them; and will return, without a murmur, to the society aud companionship of those, who can approve without selfishness, aud censure only at the bidding of truth and friend ship. To the judgement of impartial history I commit my administration and its acts, without a fear of the result: and when lime shall have softened the asperity cf paitizan feeling—heal ed the bitterness of disappointment and correct ed tha errors of prejudice, truth will sustain the judgement and justice approve the record. Our beloved Commonwealth, rich in all the elements of material greatness, her broad and fertile field*—her lofty mountains, filled with inexhaustable mineral wealth—her rivers and her streams —her internal improvements, her furnaces, roliing-uiills, and factories—her col leges, academies, and her noble system of cotn i men schools—Ler • Lurches aud charitable iu ' stiiutions—her population, enterprising, ener i getic, intelligent and prosperous—all these are | justly the pride of every true-hearted Eennsyl- I vaniau.
