the fact; and- that without going back furth
er, in the year 1836, the excess of imports
exceeded the exports upwards of sixty-one

twenty-three millions of dollars, while our
export of flour, during the same year, was
but about.scycn millions of dollars. -Itisto

•_Our Commonwealth pussessesa fertile
soil, and unbounded agricultural and min
eral wealth,. \Vc have within ourselves al
most all the necessaries, and many of the
luxuries of life. -With, the increase of intel
ligence and" means, we lind our farmers aug
menting the products of, their soil, improv
ing them stocks of- domestic,'animals, and
adding to the neatness of their household
establishments. No one can . pass, through
our Commonwealth, without being struck
with the air of substantial comfort, and in
creasing prosperity, which pervades the ag
ricultural districts of the State.
-The variety and extent of our water pow
er, give great facilities to the manufacture
. of our grain into bread stulls, and for every
other branch of manufacture, cither needed
for the supply of our ci(izcns, or for the em
ployment of their capital. :
,Hiid Pennsylvania already reached the
full development of her resources, with.her
present pecuniary responsibilities weighing
her down, we might' well contemplate our
. situation, with trembling solicitude. Hut,
this is not the cdsc. Throughout the whole"
extent of her ample territory,'thernis scarce
ly a square mile, which docs not abound in
some or all ortho great staples of her min
eral wealth. Anthracite and bituminous
coal, iron, marble antf limestone, have been
nj)uis with a most profuse bund
- snu. have been hitherto worked barely e
.nbjigh to, prove, with what prodigality they
have been lavished upon us. The coal field
of our. Commonwealth, embraces“ more than
one-fifth of its area, and more than three
times as much ns belongs to entire Europe.
Connected with the coal, which abounds in
so large a portion of the Commonwealth, we
have-large supplies of iron ore, almost in im'-
mediate contact with it. In addition.,there
to, we have; “within convenient distances,
almost all the other varieties of iron ore
found in.,any part of the world,. The adap
tation of anthracite coal, to the smelting of
iron ore, has been followed by its success
;fu Land.profitable, application'in the further
stages of the manufacture of the metal; , and
that the same results will speedily follow
from thc.applicntion of bituminous coal, may
be looked for, with almost absolute certain
ty. White the iron manufactured with char
coal, will always be wanted for the finer
purposes, and the demand it, increased
by the natural increase of thc'popuiation of
the country; that manufactured from miner
nt coal, will he employed in the construction
of rail-roads, and lor innumerable other pur
poses. This discovery must stand as a dis
tinguished era in the annals of our Qommon
weatth.. It cannot fail to add millions of
dollars to iler active and available capital;
and will ere long transfer to our own citi
-3 zens most, if not all of the large sums that
are now annually sent abroad for rail-road
iron, and other ii on-mahufactUrcd articles.
The manufacture of these numerous and val-
liable commodities will not only result in
enriching Pennsylvania, but will cut off a
large item in the imports of this country,
■teild to emancipate us from European de
pendence,'enable opr sister states ! tp com
plete their rail roads at a cheaper and better
rate, and strengthen the National Union, by
the strongest of all ties, that of mutual in
terest. -V; : - - '•r.--;:- -
Nor is there in Pennsylvania a single class
of citizens who'will not share directly id the
advantages. The owners of coal and iron
deposits, and those who engage in the manu
facture and salc 'gf, these productions, will
derive the first benefitj but the farmer, the
mechanic,' the merchant, and every other
citizen, will feel immediately, the salutary
impulse which will be communicated to his
own peculiar , business. The value of-our
canals and rail roads must be greatly enhan
ced, as well as that of all other species of
, property. With the cheap and ready means
which they 1 will afford for the transportation
of our various products and'manufactures,
there can be no doubt, that the trade and
business of the, state must extend and in
crease witli unexatnpled.rapidity, and by.'
prudence and. good inanagemcnt4)e a,perpct
uated. . , . ' m •'.
- In this gradual and certain development
of our resources may be found abundant
means to liquidate ia'Qr public debt,- ami to
dischaigc every oilier liability, that can
justly be cast upon the-State. I- confess if
affords me peculiar gratification to advert to
. this topic, for it shows most satisfactorily,
that (bough this Commonwealth' lias been
somewhat in advance of the time ofextend
ing her improvement system so widely as
she has done, the people notwithstanding
are destined at no remote period -to-realize,
most amply, all'tlic benefits it waseverex
pecteil to produce.- The increase of our
manufactures Will neee<-srtrily.'tend to afford
additional sourcesofemployment fur-’thelifc'
borer, and furnish increased security against
all improper combinations for (lie reduction
of weges. h r
v If any just cause of apprehension has ex
isted, from .the attempts in ; large'.manufac
turing establishments, to keep their opera
tives in subserviencj" in matters of opinion
and the exercise of.political rights/ lef J the
evil be corrected under adequate penalties.
, the rearing up of .children in factories
without be prohibited,' ami the
light of learning and science being diffused,
>as wellamong theuperatives as their:richer
employers, the' danger of this inftitehb'C will
be counteracted by shaking off tbe sliackles
of igndsance and-undue Jdopcpdenre ; 'either
lipon thc informationmrvtije -Will hif others.
Then instead of having a class of human be-
Jngs imn Btate bf vassalagc, we would rear
up freemOn‘Capable of thought andTeflcc
tion, and of "pulling apiopercsliinate on
that spirit of independence which influenced
our forefathers in achieving our freedom,’ &
which ought ever to pervade l.he bosoms of
their descendants to the latest*generation.
. Performing, as Pennsylvania has always
done inan exemplary manner, her dutiesas
a member of the great federal union, of
which she has not inaptly been denominated
the “Keystone,” ,we must never forget, the
duties, wliich we, as her immediate function
aries,-owe to her own interest, and the ne
cessity of advancing and sustaining them ns
Tarns can be done, without interfering with
her duties to thc.Gencral Governments
On the partof, the-Lcgislaturc, nothing is
wanted hut a careful supervision of her va
rious interests, to place this Commonwealth
on u firm basis of pecuniary independence.
\Vhalever course either stales’may think
propcr'tu pursue, let it be thc palrioticuluty
of Pennsylvania to sustain and cherish eves
ry effort to develope her resources, and to
advance her glory and her renown. Vindi
catchcr. character for- integrity—-fulfil-all
her engagements faithfully'—husband her
resources with economy, but not with a
false and mistaken spirit of parsimonious 11-
liberality—and the fair fame of,Pennsylva
nia will stand before the world without a
spot or blemish to tarnish it. To maintain
this fame unsullied, should be the first and
most unyielding duty of every citizen hon
ored with any,station, in which he becomes
its official guardian. 1 should deem myself
unworthy of the Office, with, which the peo
ple have clothed me, if 1 proved recreant to
this ( high trust. ■
By a judicious system of laws, correspon
ding with the habits and wants of our peo
ple, fostering and encouraging enterprise &
industry, and enabling our citizens to reap
the full, reward of their labor and perseve
rance, we shall fulfil, the expectations of our
constituents, and be.tlie means under Divine
Providence, of perpetuating" the blessings
which have been so signally showered upon
us by the Author of all Good. -
The experience of many years fortifies
me in the belief, that our greatest error in
legislation, is that of legislating too mi)ch.
Our Legislatures have been holding one ex
tra session after another, and that too in
times of profound, peace, and when the calls
of patriotism are imperiously made on every
public functionary to,
mm lies, .the’.pecuniavy bu*diea'aJMa£wssclv
the Stale In s jiecn laboring. The conse
quence lias been, an unparalleled .inciease
in file legislative expenses over all other de
partments of the government.' I can re
commend. no more certain and effectual re
trenchment in this matter, than short ses-’
ti jus; still let the copduct of every depart;
ment of the government hfc thoroughly scru
tinized, and let no-important interest of the
people be neglected. - •
“ The baneTul-practice of converting the'
halls of legislation into an arena for.the dis
play of political gladiators, which’ has so
long characterized the Im| Is of our national
legislature, is a lamentable departure from
the course pursued by.’the band of patriots
who- composed ‘‘the first congress,” and
whose example,'! hope, for the honor of pur
common country, has not yet been wholly
forgotten by their successors. The perni
cious tendency of this practice of the nation
al legislature, will not, I trust be extended
to the legislatures of their respective states;
and I am sure, I need, scarcely add, ! have
no apprehensions of its reaching the legisla
ture of the commonwealth.- No public Tunc •
lionary who would yield to its influence
need expect to retain the confidence and re
spect of the people of Pennsylvania.
In conclusion, 1 shall beg leave to refer
you to the views on several subjects con
tained in my last annual message.' That
message being (he first I had the honor to
communicate at the commencement of ascs
sion of the Legislature. I -went more into
detail on the various topics discussed in it,
(hen I supposed would be again necessary,
with a view to an expression of opinion’ on
them, as well for that occasion, as-for future
reference. •! therefore refer you to it for
my recommendations oitthe subjects of re
form of the Banking system, &c.—the im
portance of connecting ami completing' at
the earliest day practicable, the disconnect
ed part of our disjointed and unfinished sys
tem of internal improvements,—the making
of prompt and ample provision for keeping
the public, improvements in'repair;—the ne
cessity of preserving unimpaired the credit
of the Commonwealth, and promptly meet
ing all her pecuniary engagements,—the ne
cessary care and caution to be exercised in
creating, renewing, and supervising corpor
ations,—the subject of education, and as
connected with it, that of procuring compe
tent teachers and school books, —the subject
of the increase of writs of error and appeals
in the Supreme Court, and reporting: the
decisions of that court; —the militia system,
the encouragement of volunteers and the
reduction of militia trainings to one day in
.theyear,—the-evasion. of-theJaws-relalive
to collateral inheritance tax, —and-the revi
sion-of the’laws relative to the selecting and
drawing of jurors.
It will allbrd' me great pleasure to co-op
erate with.the Legislature, in these and al
other measures .calculated, to promote-tlx
common’ good of our beloved Common
wealth;

my vast Vegret and surprise "at the expres
sions which I find repeated-in your letter
with reference to the destruction of the
steamboat Caroline. I liad confidently ho
ped that the first erroneous impressions, of
the character of that event, imposed upon
thi mind of the United States Government
by partial and exaggerated representations,
pvould, long since, have been effaced by a
more strict and accurate examination of the
facts. Such ah investigation must eycn yet,
I am willing to belicve,UoJ the United States
Government to the same conviction with
which her Majesty’s subjects, and justified
by the same motives and principles which,
upon similar and well’ known occasions,
have governed the conduct of tiic illustrious
officers of Hie United States. The steam
boat Caroline was a hostile vessel, engaged
in piratical war against her . Majesty’s peo
ple; hired from her owners for-that express
purpose, and known to bo so beyond the
possibility of doubt, The place where it
was destroyed .was, nominally,.it is (rue,
within the territory of a friendly power;, but
thcifriendly power had been deprived,-thro’
overbearing, piratical violence, of the use of
its proper authority over that portion of ter
ritory. .

circumstances, which, it is to be hpped, will
never recur, that the vessel Was attacked by
a party of’hor Majesty’s people, captured,
and destroyed. A remonstrance against the
act in question has been addressed by’ the.
United-States to her Majesty’s Government
in England. lam not authorized to. pro

felt myself- bound to-record, in the mean

in the most solemn manner against the spir

no comment. It Speaks for itself: - -
“We understand that His Excellency, the
Governor General has mdsfcmphaticully de
clared that he will not remove any of the
troops recently sent by his order to the Ma
dawaska territory, and that he considers Sir
John Harvey too courteous by a great deal,'
in notifying, the braggadocio Governor of
Maine that a detachment of British troops
had taken'up a position. This augurs well,
fur his Excellency must have hail positive
instructions from tlye Imperial Government,
that the territory was to be kept, and the re
