WE this week, to tin; exclusion of itittcb OTH
ER mutter, publish the last annual tinvsag" <;
Gov. Pollock It IS an able docniaent anil
runceded bv all to BE ONE ot THE best written
•hat WAS ever delivered. We have THE gratify,
ing ASSURANCES that the finani"*S of the State
HIC in GOOD condition. The fact is stated TT.IT
VLI 4 * PUIDI: debt IS NOW- L SS THAN forty null; :I : -
having been reduecL ss2o,oF'l within A vt.av,
FC nd sl, 816,857 during the last three years,
while if toe balance of $I 14,920 in the sink
ing Fund is added, the total reduction in 'Lree
years will be $2,231,777. Gov. PO'I-ck MAY
well CONGRATULATE bitnseif upon the improve
ment in the SLATE FINANCES duri og iii- adoiiois
trution. The goml resul's of T C SALE of the
Main Line are described at some length by the
Governor, atiJ S;NEE. tho .ST.l ; ** is relieved ID TM
burden of SUPPORTING that line, (lie PROMISE is
held out of STILL GREATER in the future.
IN connexion with this <u j**ct, the G vernor
recotntueii'ls ti*.e aliolition f the t*. I.iiagc tax
ON the Pennsylvania Railroad Company. The
'financial crisis in the country occupies some
space in the MESSAGE, and she Govcrnoi s views
in regNrd t-> reform in our banking SYSTEM, AS
well AS in THE federal revenue SYSTEM, arc such
*s will be generally approved by Penusylva-
Dians. The public institutions of tho Bt.it" are
♦ reateJ appropriately, and the importance of
establishing an Agricultural 1> ;rean is pointed
int. The subject of education receives due no
tice, and our common SCHOOL system is justly
regarded as eoritribtititig greatly to the well
being of THE people. A number ot minor mat
ters are mentioned, and their is an argent rec
ommendation that art executive mansion be
eree'ed tn which the Governor may HO able to
live in a certain state of dignity commensurate
with his high office. The allusions to national
subjects are. with great propriety, confined to
A single small p irag aph, and with some appro
priate remarks in regard to bis retirement from
office, the Governor concludes A message which
is really ONE of tho best written that we have
read for a long time.
Happy will WE be if the successor of Gov.
Pollock, Gov. Packer, will continue his WISE
policy, and not .'all into the -jppositß course,
like all his Locofoco predecessors.
The Black- Locofoco pap**r of this place inti
mates that w? ought to publish tho speech of
boef Bigler in answer to Donglis. YY'e have
some objections to this. YVe are informed by
persons who were in the Senate at the time, that
evcty Penusylranian who was there hung Lis
head in shante for tho honor of his State at the
poor fist he made of himself, and the manner
;n which the Little Giant overpowered him.—
He was the butt, and laughing stock of the Sen
ate and all present, and made a complete oss
of himself. One of tfcc leading Loeofoeos of
this place, a short time since, remarked to tts
that Bigler was not qualified for the underta
king, and that he was the wrong man; that
Jeff Davis, Hunter, cr some other good man !
wouid have been ."be right one However, wo j
will mike a proposition to the nigger-organ, it
it will publish rite whole of Douglas' great
speech, we will publish the speech of Big)r.—
H hat aay you, will you do it?
The nigger-organ of this place says that the
batch of Treasury notes to the amount of twen
ty are not. s'iinp!ast?rs because they
draw three per cent, interest. This is all hum
bug. It was at first proposed that they should
bear six per cent., but this was objected to by
i the Licofocos. because it would defeat the ob
' ject for wbieh they were issued—a circulating
medium—as they would be takeo by brokers
and money lenders, t secure the six per cent.
They are a circulating medium—the govern
ment pays them our—being bankrupt in other
currency, and not having a dollar on band to
redeem them with. They are a Locofoco shin
plaster eurroucy, and intended as a kind of
Government Locofoco Bank, to reconcile those
\\ higs who voted for the old Federalist, Bu
chanan.
Gov. Wise, the Locofoco fire-eating Gover
nor of Virginia, and the man who pulled Presi
dent Polk's nose, is out in a long letter in op
position.to the bogus Lecotupton Constitution,
He says that the people hive the right to de
cide upon all their own laws. What will the
nigger-organ, arouud the corner,say now, when
two more uoh friends of i, as
Strirlgbl.'ow, who. Prentice ot the Louisville
Journal says, should bo a Strungftltow, are
forced to com* out against the present high
handed Locofoco outrage the bogus-Leeouip
ton Constitution, which attempts to force ini
quitous laws on the people of that territory,
against their will l A chameleon, however
can change its color, to suit any occasion.
J irry Black, and the other members of the
present nigger aduiittisfiaiior', recently <!i-s-;i-n
--ded front their high position nnd wrote bitter
p::rt:z;ui letters to a Locofoco meeting in Phil
adelphia. Thev abounded in Gang phrase 4,
neb US'* 4 Black Republicans, "••'AbotiftoiiNN,"
Ac. This is the first tiin** in'rlie history of the
country that high ciblnct'officers have a looped
to such contemptible, na-aunc s. Eveu under
the hitter partisan administrations of Jurksou,
Y r an Buren, Polk and Pierce this was not 'one.
I* alone remains for tlii- nigger-loving udiiru
is-ruuiin tn descend, s.i low. \Y b-.t u figure it
wl'.l make in history!
GLORIOUS NEWS FROM KANSAS.

MINERAL BANK OF CUMBERLAND.
YVe learn from the Cumberland Telegraph,
that the astounding result of t!i** investigation
of the books of the Mineral Bank by the Trus
tees. Messrs. Beall and Pear re, shows tho mis
application of one hundred and twenty two
thousand, seven hundred and sixty dollars,
(funds belonging to tho bank,) by its late Pres
ident, Joseph li. Tucker, who has'vamosed the
ranclie.' An affidavir covering these charges,
has been sworn to, and an attachment issued
thereupon ag iiust the personal effects of Mr.
Tucker. He i- alleged to have dr-iwn out the
money on fifteen several bids of excitant*-.-,
which have since mysteriously di-appere<i

$150,000, lias nisi, been proved against, him,

DEATH OP JOHN B. M'Pnr.r.soN, ESQ., — Tt
becomes our painful duty to announce the death,
ejtly this morning of our respected fellow-citi
zen, JOHN H. M PIIEUSON, Esq., Cashier of the
Bank of Gettysburg, a situation he has retained
ever sinco the establishment of that institution in
1812 —more than forty years. He was in his
69th year. His health has been feeble for a con
siderable lime, and he sauk gradually and peace
fully to his rest, leaving a reputation behind
hint, which is a pleasant inheritance to his
children. Of stern, unbending integrity, and
of exemplary moral character, warm in his
friendships, closely attentive and correct in all
his business transactions, few men have left us
who possessed more of the confi lence of the
community than did the deceased. YY'e have
been warm and intimate friends for many years,
and it becomes us not to let hi* departure pa*s
without fhis our slight tribute to his worth.—
