The.melancholy duty devolves ou me, of formally
announcing to the Ge.neral 'Assembly. the fact of
.., the decease of the Chief s Magistrate of the Nation,
the Venerable Zachary Ta,y ler, who died at the City
of Washittton, on the evcoing.of the Ninth of Jo.-
1Y Nat. • L 1
The soldier whose brilliant achievements an arms
addedaew lustre to themilitiry fame of the country,
sod the Statesman whose policy, as shad Owed forth
in'his recommendations to Congress, was that of
the wisest and most generous patriotism, diedlo the
full possession of his great -mental faculties, sur
rpunded by•endeared relativel, cherished friends,
and patriotic members of government, with the calm
resignation becoming a,Cliristain snide, and found
ed on the faith, which teaches that dealh - has no tes
tate for hose who faithfully endeavor tett& their, dit
ty. ' The American people paid threhigireat tribute
to his memory by united and universal barmie st -
lo the purity and disidwestedoess of his motives,
the patriotism of every impulse es affecting his pub
lic conduct, the perfect sincerity of his_desire to act
justly to all men, his winning gentleness of temper
as manifested in his personal deportment, were to be
found traits of character which bound closely to him'
his confidential friends, and gave to their sorrow for
his demise a bitterness which no lapse of time or
change of circumstance can alleviate. '
.. It is recommended that a suitable,,expresesion of
dlrespect for the memory of the deceased,end of re
gret for our bereavement, be made by the present
- Legislature.
On the death of Goners! Taylor, by the provisions
of the Constitution, the powers and enies of the
Chief Magistracy were vested, without the least in
terruption of the pubic business, in Vice President
elLiiard Fillmore, whose virtue and patriotism as
manifested in the discharge of former treats, as well
as-in the admi istration thus far of his new tune
tions, justify th confident expectation that the poll.'

are no less than twenty-four judicial districts, with
District Courts in Philadelphia and Allegheny Coun

transacted in these last-named Courts, affords con
elusive evidence that• the interests of the community,

In the item of; expenditures for public ifupiove
merits is included 5148,500 paid, to North Branch
Canal and $286.446 02 to avoid inclined Plane.
In the amounts received from Canal and Railroad
tolls and collateial inheri•ance loess, the actual re
ceipts of the last year fall short of the estimates.—
It was supposed the suggestions of a former message
in relation to the conveyance of passengers on the
Columbia Railway would bate been favorably re
garded. It is still believed that a largely incensed
revenue would attend the adoption of the changes
heretofore recommended. That the collateral linter-
Rance tax is inefficiently and carelessly collected in
some of the counties, and even when collected fre•
quently retained in the hands of the officers longer
than necessary, is demonstratable by the Net of the
great dieproportion at the Treasury from \counties
of equal ipopulation, business, and wealth. A state•
moot of the amounts• received from the several
counties during the last. four years, will exhibit
much valuable information on the interesting ques
tion of inequality of taxation in the payment of the
public debt. All items of taxation applicable to the
sinking fund should be required to reaeh the Trea
sury quarterly under the severest penalties.
A reference to the reports of the Adjutant Gener
al, Auditor General, Survey.or•General, and Super
intendent of Common School', :will afford detailed
information of the business of their several depart.
ments, and furnish views and suggestious of inter
est to the general west.
The.ichool system, although still imperfect, is
rapidly improving in its general condition, and prom
ises the, beneficial results it was designed to,accom
plish. The education of the people, is the great
question of the agi, and u such it cannot fail to
command your earnest and enlightened efforts for
its speedy and ultimate success.

A system of banking, based upon State stocks,
istiau . proper restrictions, is recommended to the at
t• . of the Legislature. It is thought that the
pre at banking facilities are unequal to the wants
oft. business community. Theamount of
note of blinks of other States foun d Incirculation

safety to their credit, to accomodate at ell times the
acti e konsfide business demands of the country, and
the ) rge operations in the stature of .private bank
ing aity transacted on sevens terms to the borrow•
er, d munstrate that increased facilities are deman
ded secure a healthy-development of our resour
ces. Any considerable extensiea -of the 'present
cyst m is hardly. io be anticipated, nor is it defies.
Me, f a more permanent basis fur such operations
can devised. Free banking upon a deposits and
pled st of public stocks early recommended 'itself to
fare . it is not liable to sudden expansions and
cunt tious—more secure from failure—less obnox
ious to counterfeiting- and fraud, and offers undoubt
ed security to the note holder. Should the stock re
quired be the loans of the Commonwealth, it,,would
appreciate their value, and also have a tendency to
withdraw them from foreign countries, to which are
annually sent millions of the public money to pay
interest. A recall of these stocks, and the discharge
of the interest to the resident citizens, would lead to
the expenditure of an equal amount at home, there
by affording employment to the people in the ire
provlments of the State, in the erection of the ii
duettist institutions, and in the various work of beau
ty sed taste. If this system ia favorably regarded, a
relinquishment ofa ponies of the Unmet an the
mocks pledged would be &reedy advantageous. to
04 Treasury.
ste
T confidence felt is their security, and the dy
/
sire to use the relief DOilt,.wbeo kept in good con
dition, justify the belief that an inns of small note,
from State Inetitutieee, fivoded on a deposit of
stocks, would,be highly acceptible to the people.
A reference to subjects, under the control of the
National Government, has long formed part of tbst
annual messages of the State Executives, and the
custom has found favor not only by its consommes
with the peculiar relations of the States to the Gen
eral Government, but in the deep solicitude felt by
individual citizens in the action of the latter on ques
tions of pervading en I direct interest to ell. From
the resolves of their Representatives in the councils
of the Suites, the opinions of the people are often
well collected, and heoce your actiou is frequently
of great moment. In obe.lieneP, therefore, to cus
tom, and in order that the sentiments of our common
cournittiency may bees erpreasion either through the
Executive Messages or the action of their represen
tatives. it is proper to , refer to some of those fres

In relation to the extension' of • Ilavery and the
duty of faithful observance of , her :`Federall obliga

former messages remain unchanged; There it noth
ing, in my judgment, in the Inatory of the , miit, nor
in the wiroinga of the future, to' stify the alma
donmenv of the prleciptes, satredl ' regarieri r 'from
the foundation of the State, of no -intervention , in,
the domestic policy of other ctinimtinities, and of re
solute determination of permitting no interference
with our own.' Fidelity in the discharge of Coisstitu
don't duty has distinguished'our liovernnient and
people, and if an opinion exists within, or 'h'as been
miscbieveously propagated beyond our hot era, that
such is not the fact, it is conceived in erro of our
.true history. Pennsylvania, her people, in her au
thorities, always hive been loyal to the Con tittition.

They wish it neither to be evaded nor a nded.—
They will not permit it to be resisted.. 1
It has been intimated that on questions connected
with the institution of Slaveri, and theoreedition of
fugitives from labor, there have been indicatious of
a disregard of herCoustitutiOnal :obligations. ' To

to refer to some or the diticuities lit relati n to the
subject now existing in the {While; Mind. I ~
The - clause in the Federal OonsAtutio' a relative is
fugitives from labor inenlves, theMs proporlitions:-.-
I. That involuntary service or slaV . ery ina exist in
the States of the Union-by constitutionat recogni
tion. 2. 'that the escape of the persona so held
shall nut operate as a discharge from such 'service
or labor. 3. That on the claim of the party' tio, whom

To interfere by Legislative enatment, r'' ,her,
wise to destroy, or in any way to, ffect th riilit of

be a daring violation of the steer Obligati nu of the
Constitution. No hawse being tin prete that by
this Gmninotiwealth inch an( interferane has ever

the people iu opposition to tie futther ex enston of
Slavery, and the consequent lucre se of a 0-repub

or,destroy the vested rights of citizens of of r states
and when those rights may be ending b_y the

passage of laws, and the enactment of regulations,
u oda every delegated power of the National Govern
ment, without regsrd to the actiun or nun-action of
Congress. The Government is admitted to
be one of ascertained powers, hot it to be so
the moment concurrent jurisdiction vests) in Stet
Sovereignties. In the
. prectical workings of the
systemof concurrent jurisdiction; much evil would
arise. Thirty-ene sovereigntien might prescribe
different rules of action—each meant to make effec
tive national legislation, 114 the dangers ''resulting
from conflicting enactments; and the consequent de
struction of bartiony and order. could not fail to
*Nina the patriot. Whenever power over a subject.
matter is vested by the constitution in Congress,
and the power has been exercised, the authority of
the States has been judicially declared, as above
stated, merged and abolished. This is the rule of
Jaw as well as that of conuion sense.
• Ad opinion has been arpressed by men of eminent
legal learning and patriotism, that legislative:action
1 on the part of the States is expedient to aid in the
execution of the powers 9f the general government.
In this opinion 1 cannereoncur. To admit the po
sition would imply an inability on the pirt of the
'National Government a execute its po ere, and
would prove destructive of the theory so ItealounlY
maintained by our republican fathers, that tho Na
tional and State Governments .re independent sov
ereignties, each acting within its proper constitu
tional sphere. j -. I
It was doubtless a conviction of the soundness of
the foregoing views, which induried my predecessor,
Governor; Shook, to 'section the act of the 3d
March, 1847. i
The powerto act on the inhieet of - the e Xtradition
of fugitive.slaves being thus v p red solely in t
National Government, it is the sin 'duty of the it
iien to submit to-its eiiactmentsi under the Cinistf
tut ion. To act differeckiy would be clearly it rebel
lion to Government.

/ 0
destiny, by the terms of th onstitution. His ex
tradition would be determined without proof of own
ership no the rt of the claimant, and without evi
dence of the ntity or flight of the person claimed.
i
If, however, term used in the constitution, sig
nifies a challenge of the property, belonging to the
claimant, and withheld from him—and the enaCt
meets on the subject requiring proof of right to sub

In the adoption of the proper remedy to assert this
clear right. patriotic citizens may differ, and the
Privilege to maintain and express that basest diver
sity of opinion. must nut be impaired. To surrender ,
it, under violent _threats and denunciatory clamor,
would be art abandonment of the deeply cherished
privilege of liberty of thought apd speech. When
the enuctinents of the National Congress, fail to
Convince the pe iple of their justice and propriety, it
is their duty to seek their muddicauon and amend-
Meat.' The recently-enacted fugitive slave law,
While it remains a statute, denetuds the support of
eJ the citizens, and unless our written constitutions
are worthless parchments, until the judiciary declare
it otherwise, most be esteemed a constitutional en
actment. Are its defects of such nature es to war
rant the public in urging its amendment?
1 , That partof the law which authorizes the crea
tion of a new and irresponsib:e tribunal under'the
name of Commiesiimers, is liable to exceptiori.—
Waiving the inquiry whether the Judicial puwer of
t
, e United States can be vested anywhere but in
e i
gularly;organized courts,with the records of court.,
there are objections of serious import to the-institu
lien of this tribunal.. All history shows, that see
cial tribunals clothed with dlscret.onary powers. over
persons and,propeny, ere liable to abuse, and have
been instruments of oppression. If in these, the
early asys of the Republic, when no reason of ur
gent State necessity can be invoked, powers of a
high judicial nature over.the liberty and property of
an individual, are to be vested by apgointmeut of an
inferior tribunal, in an irresponsible person, the se
curity of the life, reputation, and liberty of the cit
izen, in afar-times, when new political or 'social
'emergencies may arise, will• depend out most pre-
Carious tenure. The courts of the United States,
Whose Judges have a pride of character, and over
whom a cuntroling influence Ike - 3491ftd by thelm
peachinent clause of the Constitution, should alone
rhinvested with these extraordinary powers. Rath -
r
r than hazard the chances of illegal decisions, and
e e:insequent irreparable injury of an individual,
reeolts so full of danger id the peace nod good order
:fit society, the Judicial power might wisely be ez•
tended. If;it be deemed expedient to deny a trial by
! Jury, and (edge the adjudication of this right of
property iii:the.brea.t of a single judge,.the kind of
. proof respired should be indicated, and a full record
pt the entire proceedings be made and preserved.—
Processes issued should be returned, and the extra
dition-of any colored persoe, for whose arrest a war
rant had issued without hearing had before the judge
'shinild be visited with the penalties of kidnapping.
'These modifications of the law, while they could not
interfere with the right 6f the owner of the fugitive,
would greatly tend to satisfy the minds of citizens
1 anxiously desirous to perform their constitutional
duties.' • -

One other matterTermnected with Or Federal re,

There wasllocal disloyalty long before Slavery ¢e

questions connected with it are finally adjusted .

11that the Utoon of the States is lightly and *revel.-
