from the Harrisburg Reporter. IV/o tllcHsuge from the Gov ernor, \ . Of the “act to provide rtvtnu £ to meet the demands on the Treasury, and- for other purposes ■ ’ To-day, Saturday, May I, Governor Poit- Tfcft sent to the legislature the following, .message, giving his reasons, for withholding his assent to the bill published in our last. To the Senate and House of Representatives of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania . ~ Gentlemen:—ln returning tollie 1 legis lature, the bill entitled "An act to provide revenue to meet the demands on the treasu ry and for other purposes, - *? without my ap probation, I feel that I am discharging one of the most responsible" and painful ..duties that has devolved npon me, since I have been, entrusted with the executive functions of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, by the people. I have examined the various provisions of this bill; with an earnest ami anxious desire to give it my sanction, if I 'could bring my mihd to the conviction, that it was not wholly incompatible with the pub lic interests; but after the most careful con sideration 1 hm constrained, by an over whelming sense of duty, to refuse it.my as sent. No person can read this bijl, liowev «r hastily, without perceiving that it is one of a peculiar character. It provides, in the first instance, fur the ncgociatiun of a'loan of three millions one hundred thousand dol lars, and the issue of that amount of'notes; . a large portion of which, is under nomiuatioh of live dollars, to be bused upon the loan by certain banks required In take it, described in the bill. The manner in which this loan is to be taken ami redeem- 1 ed, at the end-of five years, or sooner, at the pleasure of the- legislature,.and also in which the notes are l to be issued and finally cancelled, is somewhat intricate and : com plicated, but is still, perhaps, sufficiently clear to be'carried into practical operation, without any very great difficulty. The bill, also, provides for.a limited augmentation o( the amount of tax upon certain glasses of citizens, likewise for the depositing of cer tain portions of the funded debt of this stale, as security for the redemption of notes of .denominations hot lesO.tlian five dollars,' to *bft\B3Ucdupoa-ihecredi6'<iCj'Sa!d<leliti,by< life banks of this Commonwealth, except tht ■ bank, of the United States., And in. the Sev enteenth Section, it provides that the penal ties imposed upuii‘(he banka, of paying.a greater rate of interest than six per •cent., & the provisions of the acts of assCnibly.and various acts of. incorporation, which point? out a mode for the forfeiture of any charter, of any bank, for or by reason of the'non payment of its liabilities oh. demand, shall be and the same are suspended until further legislative action, and 'until-the legislature makes provision for the re-pay incut of the loan authorized by the first section of this act; and repeals the resolution passed the third day of April, 1.840, entitled “A reso lution providing for the resumption of spe cie payments by the banks,, and for oilier purposes.” The succeeding sections au thorize the stockholders of the Bank of the United States, to make a general assignment, of all its real and personal estate,’ goods, chattels, &d to trustees, fer tile purpose of securing and paying the debts and obliga tions of that institution, and exempts such trustees or assignees from the operation of such parts of the general laws of this Com monwealth as require that they should file on inventory, or appraisement,’of the prop erty assigned or conveyed in trust; andalsu from giving security for the faithful dis charge of their duties, and leaves the whole of these important guarantees for the faith ful execution of their trust, to the discretion and regulations of the stockholders. And in-tlie twenty-third section is found the sin gular and extraordinary provision, that after subjecting the trustees appointed by the stockholders to the exclusive control of the said stockholders, the courts of this Com monwealth shall have jurisdiction of the said trust as' if it were created under any general law of the, State. 'Then follows the provis ion, that.it shall be lawful for the Legisla ture, and the power is hereby expressly re served, at any time Or times, with the con sent of the said stockholders, at a general meeting for that purpose convened accord ing to the charter; to change and biter the provisions of this act in such manner as to the Legislature may seem expedient. . jf there be any security whatever to the pub lic in these last - named inoperative provis ions, I confess'it is not obvious to my mind. Such is the general substance of this bill -go far as relates to the ..banking* institutions uf this Commonwealth.- In addition to which it appropriates tlie-loan above mentioned, of three millions one hundred thousand dollars, to various necessary and important objects connected' with the government. On the passage of this bill depends- the successful .prosecution of the Common Sellout System, the payment of donations to academies and female seminaries, pensions and gratuities to old soldiers, the repairs of the rail roads and , canals for the current year, payments of debts due, for-repairs made prior to first of November last, appropriations to orphan at syjiims and house of refuge, asylums-for -blind-and-dcaf and domb;“to~;pay damages and the militia expenses, to pay all the ex penses of government, to pay lock-keepers, weigh-mastps. ami other persons employed oh. the public works, to pay certain guaran tees of interest by the-State, to pay debts «tue on contracts for work done on the Eric division, North Branch extension, Wiscon isco canal, and numerous other specified public improvements, topay the Canal-Com missioners, apprjscrs and engineers, and in fact every operation of the-government in the execution of which appropriations of mo ney are required. This hill, I .believe, is the very first in the whole history of our go vernment in .which the necessary expenses of government, indeed the indispensable ex; 1 pelises of government, .without, I which it can not move.on fur n day; have been connected with ? extraneous ? subjects of questionable character; and concerning which, it was "not only .ppjisihlo hut probable that conflicting _U[iipi^bXTe?P®^t| , 'o^tbeir-policy?would exist departments, wjh>ie<nirf*. .ted 'asscht .was rieccssary. for the pasSagivof the-law. It has been, hitherto, among the statesmen of Pennsylvania, the received o .pinioii that the indispensable expenditures ventSjWhateverelseiniglitlail.V/But.thii blit, departing from that lung established u sage, has directly involved these expenses with the regulation and control of the bank ing system of the Commonwealth, upon which, perhaps, more'than upon any other suhjeet.irreconcilable differences of opinion cxifit. Without imputing* it as the design of the legislature to compel the Executive to surrender honest ami Conscientious -con , vicliuiis of duty, in reference to at least two of the provisions contoined in this bill; for the purpose of obtaining appropriations which are inseparable Aura the-successful prosecution of the government, I must be permitted to say that; such might very rea ,di|y be'a systcufof coercion adopted by:the Legislature, by which they.,would be.ena bled to destroy .entirely the independence of the Executive, or to arrest at any .moment the action of government. I,lake.my stand at the ihrcshhoUl of these encroachments an'd respectfully protest 'against the policy of connecting measures of undoubted public Utility, with those of questionable utility, with a view of rendering what .is just and. proper a caver and a pretext fur measures 'that are not deemed. to be of that character. I am aware that in a free government, like ours, consisting of independent co-ordinate departments, it would be vain and unjust to expect that those departments could, or should, compel the others to yield’ peculiar opinions of their own in all without mutual concession and compromise, rtrust I slmll-never be-found’Su-unreasoha blc.as. tu ask the Legislature to forego all its own convictions of duty, on subjects of general public policy, without testifying to them, my own entire willingness to meet them at least half way. It is true, when at tempts have bepn made to reach certain ob jects, not so much-of apparent public utili ty,'as of party policy, by means which I deemed (unjust and improper, I have nut hesitated, nor shall ! .hesitate, to take my position on that solid ground of official inde pendence,-whercoil I-am placed by the con stitution. In such cases I have interposed my executive authority, to prevent the pas sage of laws, hi which t clearly saw nogreat public interest was involved,' without Con cession or com promise. Self-respect for bids my pursuing-any other-course. But when a measure like the present bill is pre sented for my sanction, I feel and acknuwl-' edge the strong obligation oV duty which anu-rtfustT snalVgive evidence to the leg-, islalurc and to the people, that.’! am not acting without good reason; and if the vital and important objects proyided for in this bill, fail to be finally secured, (hat it is not without a sinccfe and earnest effort bn 'my part to prevent it, by every reasonable offer of mutual concession. I will now state Con-... cisely the'ubjcctiuns'tu this bill, which ap pear to me to be insurmountable. In’tlie Hi st place, I consider the seventeenth .sec tion as giving to the Banks an absolute ex euiptiuu from the resumption,of specie pay-. ments, fur at least tlie period-of--five -years, . mentioned in the first suction of the bill. It is provided, among other things, in the sev enteenth section, that all laws imposing pen alties of interest greater than six per cent., as also the forfeiture of their charters, for certain delinquencies, shall be suspended until further legislative action, and until provision is mam; for the payment of the loan authorized by the first section of the bill. Now, had this subject of suspension been left entirely to the further action of fie legislature, without coupling it with the provision for the re-payment of the loan of three millions one hundred thousand dollars, it would have been far less objectionable.— But even then, wliat wouhl have 'been our condition? This suspension would continue till it was terminated by'legislative action, and although the people might, by a large ..majority, will that it should cease, yet if the banks could find favor with either branch of the legislature, nr with the Executive, it would'be impossible to carry that tm/f into execution. Is it wise, is it just, to. surren der such power as' this/to the banks, when in all contests heretofore had between these institutions and the people, they have pro ved victorious? But,by the bill bcfoie mc, they are .to enjoy these exemptions not only until further legislation, but until the legis lature provides for the re-payment of,this, large loan. How will it ever ne repaid, if this bill should pass? The banks control and regulate the pecuniary transactions of the.country, iq which so large an amount of capital ns this is involved. They are di rectly interested in preventing the repay ment.of this loan at the end of five years, or of ten years, because they enjoy exemption from the forfeiture of their charters as long as this loan remains.unredeemed. It is not at all likely at the.end of five years, or even ten years, the Commonwealth will be able to' pay oft* a loan of three millions of dollars, without making another loan for that pur pose.. From whom can this loan be procu red? Surely not from Europe, for that mar ket is gluttedwith our stocks already. Not from our own banks, for if they were.to make adoan jo. the state. it would bo to de prive themselves of the valuable privileges they, enjoy, under the exemptions already mentioned. Not from our own capitalists, for they are so. deeply, interested in; the banks, as to be restrained by that consider ation; or, they can probably find, as they hayedieretufore done, more profitable invest ments for their; moneys ; I t is idle, therefore, to say;, that this loan can;be repaid.at .the .endof .five,years, or even a greater-length of lime, with such strong interests 'in the way to.prevent if. An. act of the.legisla ture authorizing a loan to lie taken for the re-payment of this loan of three millions,one hundred thousand dollars,: would -be fruit less; the money could not be, obtained upon it, and until it was obtained, thebanks would be beyond the reach of the legislature,:,and would enjoy, their right of suspension in fiance of it’s action." It scarcely requires, a - prophet to foresee what would be the issue of a law this; At the end of the five in the first’section of the bill, there would be a .renewal, of, the. same . loan, and the same system,of operations for another period of five years, or perhaps lon gef:,-; afid yd should- thus, have a suspension, : whiidj might be well; considered as perpetu-,: a ' - , ” c cannot foretell its consequences, ; ,we cannot Vrhn 'moinchtiit is engrarted _upoO our sysfmn.

It ; wi|t be'fiwten ed upon ,us until the, ; thebauk3 i: 'and;inthehartdBof,the;people;'- ' will Vanish, affd a dreary,Tiopeless era of i irredeemable paper money, open upon this Commonwealth., I cannot bring my mind to contemplate this scene, without feelings of the deepest, repugnance. ‘Nor Can-I be lieve it is'right to fasten such a condition as this upon a measure indispensably necessa ry to the healthful existence of.the functions of govermheht. ■ The authority given tn the stockholders of the bank of the United Stales, to make an assignment; and also the exhoneration of ,the trustees or assignees from giving,'as is usu al in such cases, security for the faithful ex ecution of the trust; andalso for making out an inventory/ mid' having:an- appvaisment taken of the property .assigned, seems to,me, to be a dangerous'and an unnecessary sur render'of the proper; control over'persons entrusted with.such an immense amount of property. It is true the manner of regulat ing the conduct of the trustees, or assignees, is vested in the stockholders of 1 the bank, but from sundry recent developemehfs in that' institution, it seems doubtful whether the .stuckholdcrs'are, at all times,'the safest and best depositors of such unlimited power. The temptation to abuse it, on the part of the trustees, or assignees, would be great, & the security against it, is literally nothing. 1 very much' question the policy of passing such sweeping acts of legislation as this.— Why introduce the bank of the U. States into this bill at all? That institution had aurely- vecy_comprehensive and indulgent powers granted to it at its creation, and de liberately accepted by its stockholders at the time. It has very recently, before the court of Common Philadelphia City and County, succeeded in escaping from the provisions .of the resolutions of the third of April 1840, for the resumption of specie payments, by pleading that L its jtetof ■'incor poration was a contract betwoen' the bank and the sta{e. If it be. so, let it abide by tile terms of that contract, and stand nr fall upon its'own voluntary agreement; The in fluence of this institution upon the other banks, and upon the general prosperityof the country, .has been abundantly deleteri ous; andlcansee no special.reason-in.fav or of exhonerating this and .its Trus tees, from obligations tllht are imposed upon, every man, without distinction, who is in vested with the same kind, of important trusts. The powers given to this.bank, at pie for every and I. do' ‘ not perceive in its present condition any good ground for this unqualified enlargement of them. Having thus stated with much brevity, my principal objections to thc'preseiit bill;.! will proceed to explain in what'manner these ob- jections may I always-have been, and' ! din still, most decidedly oppo sed to tbe.issuing and circulation of notes under-the denomination of five dollars, and I have oh repeated occasions, both-in ad dressing the legislature, and my fellow citi .zens,, expressed- that opinion.., ! must. in. candor, however, admit, that within a short time, the aspect of this subject of small notes, in Pennsylvania, Immaterially chang ed. All, the surrounding States have au thorized their Hanks to issue notes of a less denomination than five dollars; —our own banks are in a condition which renders it ex ccedingly improbable that they will be able tii resume Specie payments fur some little time to come; in the mean while ouf specie is in a great measure withdrawn from circu- lation, and the small notes of the States sur ruunding'us, on every side, in open defiance of that most excellent law, passed in 1828, to prohibit their circulation, are thrown in upon our citizens to take its place. In this state of things, the issue of a limited amount of notes, under the denomination of five dol lars, fora limited period of time, based upon the security of the State stock and State cre- dit, seems to be less liable to objection than any other mode proposed at any former pe riod of lime. Theie is, perhaps, another consideration which should operate with no small influence in the.decisiuh of (his ques tion! The mode and manner of raising mo ney fur the ordinary purposes of the Govern- ment, and to pay the debts and various ob ligations of the;Cummonwealth, belong pro* perly to the members of the legislature, as' the immediate representatives of the people. It is for them' to judge,, in the first instance, subject to the higher judgment of their Con stituents, in what manner this money is to beiprocured; and if in the opinion of the leg islature, the amount required fur the current year provided by. this bill, can be raised by (to other means than that contained in it, of authorizing the issue of notes such as I have described, I do nut think I would be justi fied in deeming this, a sufficient objection to prevent the passage of the bill, if otherwise faultless. As a private citizen, I wquld not yield my hostility to the issuing of small notes by the Hanks of this Commonwealth; but as the Executive, having no power t 0,6- riginate. measures, but only that of approv ing such as are presented by the legislature, I stand in a different position;, and as.be tween the sanction of suchi measure as this, and the that 'must becesari ly be produced, by the defeat of a bill, ma king appropriations for . the indispensable grants of. the government, I should consider it ns a. choice of evils at the best, and that as the least evil which would produce the least general distress. . ----- - ■ So far as respects the suspension of specie payments, and the exemption of the .Banks in the. seventeenth section of this bill, from penalties, exceeding six per cent; interest* and: the forfeiture: of their charters,.! think the boon: extended to the banks is' hot only greater than is necessary, hot greater than nas been asked for by-any.of those institu tions. By this-section it Ms* provided that “no banking institution in this State shall be. subject, by, way of penalty or otherwise, to any greater, rate .of interest than six per cent per annum,'any thing in any act df.assembly to' the contrary notwithatanding,”—"and that all provisions'of any other act of assem bly heretofore passed, or of any act of incor poration/providing focdhd.forfeiture hf.aiiy charterj fur or by reagon of the non-payment of any of its liabilities- on demand, be and the same.are hereby suspended, until further legisjativc aclion. and untih the legislature 'shulf proyideTor thea ; o-payment of the loan authorized, by the Crstsectioii of tbis act.” ; No legislative inquiry upon this'subject has 'been instituted —no-petitions have been pre sented, by tlie bankg tbeinselyesj cxccpt the -U.nlied ■.Statos.-.aah'ihgi.fot suqh • farasl.have beenable,to:learn' the views of itcS7lhr r-, "lii •life brintcSTlhroughdul the commonwealth, no further legislative action has been asked far or desired-, except the repeal of. the resump tion resolutions of Sd April,'lB4o, and the banks .to be placed on the sain.e footing they, occupied previous to the.passage of these re-* solutions, under the net of''lB24» ’This act of 1824, for the general regulation - of, the banksof this commonwealth, seems to have been frained in a spirit of great liberality and, forbearance, towards the banks, while, at the same time,,it makes judicious provi sion for the security of.tlie rightsand inter ests of the public. From the passage of this law of 1824,'up to the time the Bank of the United chartered by thc legisla-. ture of Pennsylvaniaj-the banks of this com monwealth, subject to its provisions, were in a flourishing ami prosperous; condition—rfelt .neither.fears nor molestation, and never com plained of the hardship of any of its provi sions, and there were blit if any, com plaints on the part 7 of-tliO: people. But the enormous increase of banking' capital, prn- : duced'by the creation of the bank of the U, States, tflid'other banks,-during the same session of the legislature, gave such a.wild and reckless impulse to the banking system, as to precipitate all these institutions into the : unfortunate condition in which we now find them. .There.is obviously but one ra tional and certuin'remedy for the evil: that is, to get rid of the causes which produced it. - Let the Bank of the United States meet its fate umler itB.charter;Jet_the_resuUiliunB of. 3d April, 1840, passed with the hope of correcting.some of the-evils which the Bank, of the United. States had produced, be re pealed, inasmuch as it - has been decided by the proper tribunal, that that institution is exempt from their operation, and on the same principle there are fuur.other banks claiming like special privileges, which are exempt al so; the whole of the capital of these • banks a SS r rKately amounting to two thirds ,of the banking-capital of this state—and .let the other, bauks'of.thc commonwealth be placed under the regulations of the act of 1824. I appeal to the recollections of those who have been familiar with the condition of things in Tennsylvanin for. years past, andtp‘.the his tory of the times, to bear me put in the as sertion that neither the batiks nor the pcuple ■of this commonwealth ever enjoyed a state, of higher prosperity, nor of more absolute Trcedom-froin all pecuniary embarrassments j fer Val from iB24'to 183 G; and 1 do not per [ ceive any well grounded reason, to doubt tba.t, with a-little patience,-prudence and e cohoiny, the same salutary results that flow ed from the laws then in force, will be again felt, if the same laws ace’restored.. - • Shuuld the views here .expressed be em bodied-in a section or sections, and substitu ted flur-the seventeenth section of the bill, 1 would then feel myself justifiable ip approv ing the bill, al though I have a strung dislike for some of its provisions. -But Whatever trfay be my feelings of dislike, I am bound . .to suppress them when ! consider that should, no provision be made by law, for appropria tions to the object contained in this bill, we shall diave the pain and mortification of see ing. tlie remaining soldiers of.the Revolution ary-and Indian wars, who served in the Pennsylvania line, tottering unprovided for, and pennyless; to the grave—the blind -the deaf and dumb, the orphan, and the friend less and unprotected inmate of the house of refuge, would be deprived of that alleviation of their wants and sufferings, which, the bounty of the Commonwealth has so liberal ly The common school system, in direct violation of the constitution of Pennsylvania, will languish and be destroy ed. Operations upon the public improve ments-must-be. stopped; their repair will be impassible. The contractors upon our pub lic improvements, trusting 'to the faith and honor of the stptc, contracted large debts to farmers, mechanics and-laborersdrorn whom, unless provision bcT'made for that purpose, the .state will withhold the means of pay ment. Apd in relation to this numerous and ehtefprizing class of bur citizens, who arc the creditors of the state, to so large an a mount,’ if any thing cnn add to the aggrava tion and injustice of their case, it is the al most inevitable certainty, that while the state is largely their debtor, Ihey must be broken up, ruined, and their properly pass under the hammer of the sheriff. , And even oQr courts of justice, where none buj independ ent and inflexible judges, should sit, would txperience their share of thecommon calam ity:—withdrawn from their professions, pre vented by the discharge of their official dur ties,; from engaging in any other business'for. the support of.their families, and many of them poor,—even the ■ salaries which, are guaranteed to them by law, for services to the public cannot be paid. C,an it be possi ble that such praiseworthy objects as these, will be left, unprovided for, by the legisla ture? Can an adjournment take place, while a.sacred duty, .which dvery man has solemn ly sworn to discharge, remains unperform ed? I cannot believe it possible.. To sup pose it was' so, would be casting, what 1 still hope and, trust, is an 'undeserved reproach, on those who have been selected by the peo ple, to guard and promote their welfare.— Independent of these particular classes of persons, which will feel most immediately the weight of the blow, the entire mass of the community has, not; only a pecuniary inter est,; arising from the direct and remote con nection subsisting between these classes and the other citizens, , but has a higher and a dearer stake at issue, the characterand hon or of our State.; Tell it. not to. the sister states ofthe Union, —tell it notto the world, that Pennsylvania, steadfast in the cause of integrity, abounding in resources,-and proud of her'honor, has been the first to swerve fi;om-t|mf- highest of all duties, the duty of : preserving her fame. . -Are , the members of this legislature -willing arid ready,’to ; be stamped to all future,ages, as the first Ame rican legislature that,brought,infamy.'.and. disgrace upon our republican government. Are they prepared, because the .executive cannot' sanction, what ho conscientiously ami firmly .believes ,tq, he, in . effect, a perpetual suspension by the banks, to jeopard,,nay,. to sacrifice those meritorious classesof citizcns, to whom ! havejOst referred, and those great and,, vital, interests which depend upon .the appropriations contained in (he bUI, tb,which I havo expressed /itiy readiness to give .my assent. If a sincere andipatriofic ilesire to promote the, public good, be, the governing ; motive. with the several branches of thego- 1 vernment,tlierecan : bd!ittle.dnubt.of>the passage of'a bill so eminently calculated to promote it, as the one ! have suggested} but! !Tf there be;flny ulterior purpose ihvTew, any paltry expectation of political advantage, at the expense of the public welfare, then it is neither forrme or the people of Pennsylvania to know vvhat wijl be the result. In a spirit of comprumtse & frankness I have buried my animosity to many prominent features of this bill. I have expressed a willingness to yield much—vesi to yiejd every'thing, except the point which 1 consider of too deep & solemn import to the public welfare, to be sanction ed by authority of law; and having dune this much, to prevent the evils which I have thus depicted, and to save the honor of the state from, disgrace, I have done my duty accord - ; ing to-the best of my judgment. —If nut met by a corresponding spirit oUJbe part of the legislature,- the issue,, momentous and deplo rable as it may be, must .come." To the peo ple of thiscomrhon wealth, who must snare in the bleSsihgs ,or, in tfie'curses of the .mea sure, I cheerfully com'niit the decision. The great (Question is now distinctly put to them, whether they ore or nre-not, in favor of' an irredeemable paper currency, and a perpet ual suspension of specie payments, by' the banks? and also, whether they approve of the failure on -ihe part of the legislature should it occur, to provide even for the in dispensable wants of the government, with out which, it becomes powerless, and almost ceases to be a government. If a majority of tlje pe.oplc are-in favor of these measures, be it so;—[ shall bow to their decree;but as a.citizen of Pennsylvania, looking only to', the common good of all, I shall deeply re gret the evils it will entail upon Us, and blush that I have lived to see the day of her tarnished and dishonored fame. _ It is idle to deceive ourselves, by suppo sing that great hardship mid embarrassment will not be prodbeed, by the defeat of a bill calculated to relieve the community, by ma king the necessary provisions for paying her just debts, and carrying on (lie affairs of go vernment. This ipust and will uiidoubted ly.Jfollow. But I.trust there will be patri otic resolution enough, found among the ci tizens of Pennsylvania, to endure these hardships for a season, without repining, if the alternative presented by the bill be, as I honestly beljcve it to be, far worse. In thp darkest, and must perilous times of the revolution our fathers, though destitute of food, clothing and money, bravely adhered to: their cause,' barefooted in wiu- WrceV'tliey 'Cibn|fWfiW ivi i(l ained the comforts and the gold offered by her foes,—none .deserted, and. none shrunk from the northern blasts that pierced their, naked bodies, or the British bayonets pre sented at their breasts; and ; made such sacrifices to gain our liberty, their sons, abundantly clothed and abundantly fed, should be willing fjb make at least thesacrir fice of Suffering. Tor a.short time the; incon venience of empty pockets;, to preserve the liberty their fathers handed down. .Money is a great convenience undoubtedly, and ve ry. ..desirable,, but what amount of money would pay the price of.our self-respect, the substantial prosperity of the state and ofouT freedom? If tlie people of Pennsylvania prove recreant in this crisis, they will in deed have' forgotten tlie example of their an cestors, and will prove themselves to bi>, what I, trust they would.scorn to acknowl edge ‘'degenerate sons of noble sires.” I Call upon you,-fellow-citizens of tlie Legis lature, I conjure you to pause and think well before you depart to your respective places of abode, without making, some adequate provision, to save the government of the state from the want of the .pecuniary means of performing its vital functions. 1 entreat you to contemplate the awful and unprece dented responsibility you would thus he as suming, and to think of the judgment of postenty.
