THE GOVERNOR'S MESSAGE, Which wo published lust week, is a production such os wo.might have expected from “honest old Frank." On the questions of the Currency, the War, the Tariff,and tholndcpcndent Treasury, it is sound and radically Democratic. In treating’ upon these subjects, the Governor uses the language of a true Pennsylvanian and true patriot. His views, on the subject of (ho rights of married women, are sound and sensible, and will, wo doubt not, meet with the sanction of the Legislature. • In the messages of Gov. Shunk may-bo read the creed oflho Democratic party, and they remind the reader of the palmy days of the administration of Simon Snyder. Gov. S. is a strong, and ready writer, and every thing coming fromhls pen is rend with interest by the people, lie has never, like'some . of his predecessors, attempt to deceive the people,,by fshro statements. lie informs tho Legislature, in u frank, honest manner, oflho stale of tho Treasury— ho exhibits to them and to tho people, iho liabilities of the Slato—ho points out tho .manner in which tho I Elate interest and a portion of IhoprincipuJ can bo paid off, and urges the strictest economy in all the; departments of tho Government. Tho Pennsylvan- 1 isn in speaking of tho message, says: ' •♦A community which hua suffered from tho effects of over.banking—which lias been “doctored" by all the panaceas of financial empires, cadi of whom con. ceivod himself to bo at least a Neckah—will not be . displeased at tho strong argument.'ihal Gov.

Tho exhibil.oftho condition of the State Finances, and tho prospects fur the reduction of tho Stnio debt —tho increasing productiveness of (lie public works —are clear and conclusive and most gratifying facts. .They redound to (ho honor of tho present Democra tic Stale Administration, and proudly vindicate the policy of that brunch of tho Government, and tho Board of Condi Commissioners, on this subject, from ml) reproach nr objection. With equal boldness and clearness, the Governor repeats his Objections (o tho extension of special prh vifeges, as (ho necessary auxiliary of associated cap ital, On Ihb subject his argument is unassailable."

It pains us to sco a disposition manifested, by a few Democratic papers in Ibis Stale, to pfop up the popula. rity of their own.parlicular'candidMpfor tho Presi dency at,the expense of a rival candidate.

Mr. Dlair has offered a resolution in.thoi House of Representatives instructing the members ofCungrcgs from this,Stale to use their influence and vole for the repeal of that part.df the law which requires postage to be paid on newspapers.- We are glad to notice this prompt action on this subject. Mr. Blaifvcould not have offered a more popular resolution! ‘ The repeal of lho4auualLCon'. gross imposing postage on newspapers, is asked for by all parties and all classes. Tho act of Congress allowing newspapers to circulate free within thirty miles of tho placo of their publication, wo have*.al ways regarded as a useful and excellent-law,. In fact, wo advocated it—and believe wo'wore among tho first to suggest tho principles of before it passed into a law.

Wo give below the address of Gen. P. on assuming thq duties of the chair, deci dedly the best production, of the kind wo can coll to remembrance. It is not loss distinguished for terse ness and brevity than for felicitous expression and pre sents a graphic picture of The rapid strides of oar ancient Commonwealth on the high-way of prosper ity* '' * GtntUmtn of the Haute of Hfpresentativet ln - approaching this chair—a chair rendered sacred by < the memories,of the past—| am. overwhelmed with the consciousness that 1 am not competent to fill U with that undoubted ability which has hitherto char* notorized its distinguished occupants. I may how ever, bo permitted with all humility (o say, that I 1 bring to the discharge of the responsible duties de volving upon inq, a fixed,upd- steadfast purpose to perform those duties with fidelity— at the same lime tendering to my fellow members the most sincere acknowledgements of a grateful heart.fur the flat tering evidence of their confidence which 1 have this day received. It is known to most of you that (his identical chair was occupied by the distinguished President of the' Congress of 177 G, which adopted .tho,lmmortal De claration of American Independence, and by tho speakers of (ho House of Representatives of Penn sylvania for the last half century. Ilow forcible, therefore, does this ancient relic'remind us of our past history—of onr onward progrcBs t und ourgrow ing greatness. But a little over fifty ycors ago, and tho population of Pennsylvania was only about«ioo,. 000 souls—not a turnpike hudbocn constructed with in our limits—-no railroad or canal was thoughtof— steam os a locomotive power, was unknown. The man who would have then proposed to bridge the' Susquehanna, would have been pronounced insane. Pennsylvania was a frontier State—tho Alleghany Mountain Wusih o Jar Wett— thohorso and tho pack saddle furnished (ho swift lino of transportation of aur fathers, Tho entire receipts of tho government for tho year 171)0, from all sources, u little exceeded 8300,000, while, tho expenses were 825,000 less than thq/cccipts. Tlow wonderfully has tho scene been changed ! Now, In 1848, Pennsylvania is a great nnd mighty Commonwealth, numbering a population of more than two millions of souls. Tnrnpikcs, railroads and canals Imvo been extended throughout the State. Every hill has been made to rovcrbralo with tho pantings of tho locomotive, and every volley Is vocal with tho merry music of our industrious boatman. Bridges, tho finest specimens oi architecture in tho world, span our noble rivers—and civilization has pressed back the far West to tho shores of tho Pacific. The entire receipts at tho Treasury for tho year just closed, amount to about 4,000,000; and the expenditures for tho same period, are about $3,- 680,000. ; r Such is Pennsylvania note, when; wo, her Repre sentatives, havo> come up hero to direct her future, destiny! Let us and all, bv a united'and harmonious effort,'put forth dur best exertions to promote her onward prosperity, and thus to .secure to ourselves the blessings of those who'may comb after us.
