of any other church in tho country.

GOV. JOHNSTONtS SINKING FUND*
.■ Ex-Governor Johnston Is like
the roal of ua ; bul his public aote tero elill proper ;
subjects; of discussion. ■' In his lasl very brief annual ,
message,'in wbioh he did not even; condescend to
inform ibo people and the Legislature oftbe grdaa
amount of the receipts and .expenditure* of the C?om.
monwealth, he-finds time and space to refer to ilie
Sinking Fund. ’ Ho inform* the people, In os many
words, that by tho operation of the Sinking Fund.
$738,142 92 of tho Stale debt had been paid off!—
This declaration every man conversant with Stale
affairs, know* to be false. To show the absurdity
and recklessness of the Ex-Qovernor’s statement, wo
may mention that at the time he sent his.message to
the Legislature, the Slate Treasury was bankrupt,
and without ability to pay off the demands against
U. Tho very 1 first bill pasted by tho Legislature
after the inauguration of Gov. Bigler, was ono "au*
Ilhorizing a temporary loan of $300,000.” So it ap
pears that Gov. Johnston’s Sinking Fnnd, iii its ope
rations, merely paid off ono debt and made another*
If this kind of finanocering will pay off the State
f debt, we might as well wlpo out our debt of over forty
i millions at ohoe, and bo dons with it.
Wo prefer to speak kindly of a retiring officer, for I
we have ilia charily to believe that no man who bee
been elected by the people to a high office, will, in*
tcntlonally, abuse the'confidence reposed in him.—-j
I But, If Gov. Johnston did Hot intend to play the part
jof a demagogue, his anxiety for a re-eloclion Induced
bim io act out m.n most prominent
. .manner. Tho.penple will jcl dl.co»e r ,-r-lno»
—— -* rOTv y£H,,y/.hls declarations—that instead
.ofGov. JohnslooM having.raHncnd the Slate debt, ho
has largely increased It, Like Rilner, he llos left
debts for his successor to pay. These debts must bo
met by Gov. Bigler, as (ho debts of Ritncr’s admin,
istiraiionhad to bo met by Oqv. Porter, When Ritner
retired from office, he, like Johnston, represented that
ho had not increased the Slate debt, but had slightly
diminished it. Dot, when the truth was made public*
it exhibited the humiliating spectacle, (hat the Slate
! debt during the Ritner administration hod been in.
creased near five.millions of dollars! And to meet
this additional dubt, Stale loans hid to ho resorted
to. So, too, with Gov. Johnston. In hit last annual
message, he represented that the State debt hod boon
reduced, to a largo amount, during the timo he ad.
ministered tho Government. And yet in (he face of
(his enlpty boast' arid falsehood, tho Legislature is
forced to pass if bill authorizing a loan of $300,000 to
meet tho demands upon tho Treasury! Tins was
tho way Gov. Johriston paid off the State debt—pay.
ing ono debt and contracting another. If wo thought
wo conld cancel our debts in so easy a manner, wo
would wipe them out with a wat npnngA nn (ho mo '
ment. ‘ ~ 1
During Uitnor's administration .largo debts wore
contracted, and nono paid. But when the Democrats
charged homo this, fact, It was denied by tiio Wings,
and in turn they accused Gov. Porter with having
increased the debt, and, for'the purpose of deceiving
the ignorant) they pointed to tho large loans that
wore made during Porter's administration; but they
forgot to toll tho people that those loans were made
for the• purpose of paying RUner's dibit—debit con*
traded during hie administration, and u&icA had to
be met. And wo doubt not that oar Whig friends
will, in like manner, attempt to charge Johnston's
debts to Gov. Bigler. • This ii a way they have—they I
are, when in power, constantly contracting debts, j
and when tho Democrats pay off these debts, the I
Whigs turn round and boldly assort that we (the Do* I
Imocrats.) have increased the Slate debt. Thie is not'
only ungrateful but dishonest. Tho people, however, i
—i- f'-J ...... ;u. u. r>_j
oral trickery. They know, and feel, that (heirtaxos
have been inciensod and tho debt of tho State aug
mented by Federal profligacy and corruption, and at
tho late election they placed their sea. of candcmna-l
lion upon Juhnstonism,. and rebuked, by (heir votes,
his egotistical pretentions. That rebuke, in the face
of his attempt to deceive the people, by falsely repre.
sonling that ho had paid off a portion of (ho Slate
debt, will slick to Mm like (ho shirt of Nossus, and
will he a warning, to all demagogues not to attempt
to mislead and hoodwink honest Pennsylvanians.
POLIOAMY.
Tho report of (ho judicial oiliccra of (ho Utah Tor.
ritory, to the Prcildcnt of tho U. States, complains of
llio caloblishmcnt of Poligomy.or rather a ' Spiritual
wife" system, in that territory, by the legal author,
iliac, which aro said to bo tho officers of tho church.
Tho report, in this particular, we must say, is hardly
credible. Tho experience of all limes hus shown
that llio system is permanent*and* cannot sneoeod;
and men so intelligent as must have been tho Mormon
loaders, would hardly have ventured upon (ho expo,
rhnont at this lata day. Still tho officers, among
whom aro Judge Biunokburv, of Carlisle, gravely
certify to the fact. They say :
" Wo deem it our duty to state, In (his official com*
munloalion, that polygamy, or 'plurality of wives,’ is
openly avowed and practised In the territory, under
the sanction end in obedience to the direct commands
of. the church. So universal Is (ho practice, Ihdl
very few, if any, leading .men in that Community
can bo found who have not more than one wife each,
which creates a monopoly, and which wna peculiarly
hard upon the officers sent to reside thoro. The
prominent mcn*in'lhe church, whoso example in oil
things it ia tho ambition of tho more humble to imi.
talc, hnvo cadi many wives, somo of them, wo aro
credibly Informed and bolievo, os many as twenty or
thirty, and Brigham Young, tho Governor, ovon a
greater number, Only a few days before wo left tho
territory, tho Governor was icon riding through' tho
affects of tho city In ah omnibus, with a largo corn
nany of hi* wives, mnro thin two thirds of whom had
infmls In llicir arms—a sure sign (hat (ho evil, ia
increasing. It is nut uncommon to find two or more
sisters married hMha same man; and in ono instance
ni"lei*}*l7 Vindttior Slid hvr.two dunglitar* aro among
(ho wives of a loading member of (he church. This
practice, regarded and punished ns a high and revolt*
ing crime In all civilized countries, would of course
never, bo made a statutory offence by a Mormon Lo.
gislaturc; and if a crlmo at common law, tho court
would bo powerless to correct tho evil; with Mormon
juries.”
The entire report of the ofileera I* denied by tho
Delegate of (ho Torrllory, In Congres*, to bo true,
and wo rather put confidence In lliu denial. A/am.

He says that the streets of Portland are perfectly

Mayor is sanguine of tho ultimate and complete
triumph of the law.
VVhlgs are generally Very bad at guessing. A
yearogo, the Whig Secretary of thoJVeasury es
timated tho-exports-of the country for tho next
year, and in no single instance came within forty
miles of” the results. He guessed the export of
cotton at forty millions less.than it.turned oat to
be. In his estimate of other articles, he made a
mistake of thirty-two millions. In both these
cases his guessing was below the mark. Hut he
came very near, in maktng up for these blunders,
by another lheother'side,bul yet in favor of Whig
gery. He ovcr-eatimaled the export of specie, by
at least twenty millions. What a Yankee !

OAVOVRAL ADDRESS
•••,. OF ,
GOVERNOR WILLIAM RIGLER.
Fellow Citizens s—Tho Providence of Gad has
prospered otir great Commonwealth. Thewlll oflhe
people has called od ,humble citizen to the'perform*
anoe of tho duties of her Chief Executive office. . In
accordance with the requisition thusmado upon mo,
and In obedience to the provieUlons of- the Constitu
tion, I appear before you 10-dny for tho purpose of
subscribing to the oath of offico and assuming the
tluil..)- I tnutii uuo- Jiy l/>.«vi>raan the
profound gratitude. I feel toward the people for tills
distinguished mark' of their confidence.
. In contemplating tho high and delicate nature of
the duties appertaining to this elation—their complex
and difficult character, the magnitude of tho interests
involved in their foithfiil performance, 1 am most
solemnly impressed with tho responsibility they no*
ccssarily impose. Tho junior of all my predecessors
in (his high station, I enter upon the discharge of He
duties with the utmost distrust of my. own qualifica
tions for tho task. I have, however, resolved to do
vbto my best energies, my hopes and prayers to a
faithful dUcharo-oflbo obligation I have just taken,
amllook to tho people for that generous indulgence
which has ever characterized their action towards
public servants who have honestly endeavored to
perform their whole duly. The efforts of man, at
best, aro but feeble; nil tho aid that Ills wisdom'can
bring to the ncoomplishmenlofany'great purpose
must fail, unless accompanied and controlled by tho
guardian care of Him who gives direction to all hu*
man affairs. On His power and good pleasure alt
results must depend. On Him wo should rely in o
spirit of,humility and Christian confidence.
Oar -republican institutions are based tipon the
axiom, that the people are tho only rightful source of
povver. Under these institutions, thus founded, the
will oflhe people reflected through the ballot box,
gives direction to public affairs. Through this mo.
dlum, Uib humblest citizen, not less than the most
distinguished,can stamptho Imprcss'of lila will upon
tho public policy of thc.country. This feature of bur
Republican system is its great distinguishing char,
actcrisllc, and,• guided by the general intelligence
arid patriotism ofthe people,the cause,of out-success
as a nation. JJ’hc right of suffrage should, therefore,
bo held most sacred and luvhiMc, and its independent
exercise enjoyed by every citizen. To prepare the
minds of (lie people for litis high, trust, by general
education, by the inculcation of morn) precepts Wd
religious truths,-should be accounted the noblest
purpose of the Government. All that wo.nre, and
- all that wo can tinpo to bo, ns a. nation, is dependent
upon this source of power. The right oTtlio citizen
oyer property—hla personal liberty arid security—tho
freedom of speech and liberty of (he press—lho free
toleration of.rcllglous sentiment arc alike subservient
to this grciif source of human law. How important
ii is then .that this great head should remain pure
ind independent—“ When Iho fountain, is pure, the
stream-emanating therefrom wiM ’ho, also pure,’”—
Then, by promoting Iho mural and intellectual cul
ture of (he people—tho source -And vitality of niir
government—our laws wlll.bo mndo wise, our insti
tutions be preserved'pure; and our country remain
Crain. prwrp»— ■■.■.nil-
Tho experience of the world secms.to demonstrate
that general. intelligence onH republicanism must
move together. Tho successful, government of the
people' is (ho government of'intellect, directed .by
virtue'. A thorough education of the youth of our
. cnuntcyjvill, therefore, iciid far more to the security
of our inslilullona end (ho maintenance of our .na
tional honor, than'all other means'beside." Common
school education, high literary attainment, a'know-
I ledge bf the arts and sciences, a comprehension of
I individual rights, and (he principles of (ho Christian |
religion, constitute tho very bulwark ofonr repuhli*
can government. The schemes and machinations,
of the demagogue will fall harmless before a people
thus thoroughly educated. - j
. Tho dangerous tendencies of monopoly, and tho
corrupting influence of money, nro mol and counter
acted by the power and virtue of this knowledge.—
Liberal expenditures by our government for (ho pur*'
pose of education,- may. well bo regarded as rigid
economy, and the payments of the people for the
support of (his cause, as pure devotion-to republican*
ism. It should be the first care oflhc parent and tho
government, and its fruits accounted tho richest le.
gacies wo onn leave to posterity.
ln < tne-uW3tiill|ra of 100 "Tnrlniin nf<|m ultl^i
I havejust ossumcd, It will bo my anxious desire (p
do “ equal and exact justice In nil men. of whatever
persuasion, religious or political,'* and especially | u
advance the interests orilii* great Commonwealth—
to increase the resources or her treasury—husband
her means—diminish her debt, and elevate the stan
dard of her credit—to favor such measures as may
bo calculated In dcvclopd her vast resources, and
stimulate alike her agricultural, mining, mannfso*
taring, mechanical and commercial interests, and
co.ojiornln most clicorfnlly Wilh the legislative branch
of the government In the adoption of such policy as
may lend to lessen.the present onerous burthens or
the people.
Our. vast debt.should bo - reduced os rapidly as
practicable. Its injurious effects upon the growth
of our population,and the migration of capital to (ho
State, is.much mure potent than the casual observer
would suppose. This may not he most readily ao.
IcompUshcd by a 100 parsimonious nsb'oftho means at.
ready secured'to the treasury. It may bo wise to
apply n portion of these to complete public improve,
menls now far.advanced in construction, bul yol un*
productive. The abandonment ofsuch improvements
would involve the loss of a largo amount of capital
already expended, and sacrifice entirely the chances
of future returns to the treasury from these sources
Indeed, the speedy Completion of (ho North Branch
canal, Is, in my opinion, consistent with (ho truest
principles of economy,
Pennsylvania la, perhaps, unrivalled by any oflicr
sister States jn natural elements of greatness and
wealth, She is no less the garden spot of nur com.
men country than she is the ••rtcystonn’' oftho Fed!
Cral Arch. Abounding in inexhaustible end varied
mineral resources, nn abundance of well located
water power, admirably, adapted to manufacturing
ond mechanical operations, tngoihpr.wllh a vast ex
lent of the best agricultural soil, she can doubtless
employ, subsist and prosper a greater number of
human beings than any nihur Stale In the Union
Her mountains, her rugged hilts and lovely valleys,
are rich with natural advantages In man, Her non.
pie are Intelligent, Industrious and enterprising, and
If not restrained hy miwlso legislation, will anon

extent, and thereby render our beloved Stale nrosner.
out and wealthy in on eminent degree. •
A thorough knowledge ofthd science nfngrlcuKuro
by our people will have a .most beneficial effect If
not quite essential to the prosperity of our Slate ' I
am. therefore, much gratified with the effort now
bcing mado to accomplish (his groat end. Our own
experience, and the history of other countries, fully
dcmonstrole the importance ofsuch scientific odum.
lion. The study of this science, combined with the
practical labor of tilling the soil, it no less calculated
to elevate and dignify the farmer, Ilian-In reward
him for his (oil, 1 his groat first, most dignified and
Independent pursuit of man,so peculiarly adapted to
uur Slate, and the inclinations of our people, should
command the fostering on re of government.
Pennsylvania Is blessed with n rich abundance and
variety nCmlnerals.adaptcd to the practical uses and
necessities of man. Her mineral interests constitute
a great and, growing source of wealth, contributing
largely to enhance t)io receipts of our treasury. Thu
appreciation thus given to (he value of properly—
the population thereby sustained—the Improvements
made for their development ond advancement, as well
a* the direct trade (hoy furnish to the publie works
belonging to the Slate, greatly promote this end. ’
The rich and extensive deposits of coal and iron
ore within the bordera of our Stale make her panic,
ularly blessed. Her anthracite coal bods, furnishing
a choice and cheap fuel for domestic purposes, for
generating steam for the stationary and locomotive
engine, us well as for the propulsion of oar steam,
■hips, give to her a trade almost exclusively her own.

The injurious offbola of an excessive Issue of paper

are all deeply interested in having a sound currency.

unwilling to atop at the propcf r pcriod irf the creation
of this.medium.,- That.aa coin becomes abundant it
ahould supplant and -render unnecessary (he use of
paper, is to my mind the plainest teoolnng of common
sense; such practical effect is demanded by. the true
interests of the people. A superabundant amount of
money ofany kind,cannot full lo enhance nominal va»
lues above a proper standard,sod thereby engender a
spirit of dangerous speculation, and ia the end pros,
tralo great.commercial and manufacturing Interests
of tho country.' The manufacturer is more vitally
interested in this than any other question'of govern,
mental policy. Without a sound currency, the irici.
dental aid resulting to this groat interest from (ho
revenue laws.of the general government, can never
hove force or stability.
I would not bo understood by any thing- I havo
said, as holding the. opinion that more legislation,
however wise, will give prosperity to a country, while
had legislation may restrain its energies, ;no matter
what (ho labor, industry! virtue and patriotism of (ho
people may be. Wise legislation can. only afford op.
porlunliy for. tho legitimate, rewards .of natural re
sources developed by- unembarrassed,.hibqr.'. -Thero
Is, perhaps, no itiorc dangerous political heresy (aught
in our hind, than that Ulo prosperity of tho Gauntry
is to bo created by its legislation. A Just policy can
only -guard and protect the legitimate means of pro
duction from special privileges,'the devices of tho
cunning and wicked, The .people should roly on
their own individual efforts, rather than the mere
measures of government for success. Legislation
should give to oil citizens an equal opportunity of
enjoying tho natural advantages which surround
thorn."-Corporate power.and special privileges ton
often produco.lhc reverse result,and should therefore
only he granted to facilitate tho accomplishment of
groat public purposes, not within tho reuch.-of indi.
vi.dutil means. Capital and labor, on-operating, in a
proper relative position, hayo made .and will oonlinuo
to make our country prosperous and hnppy.. Tho
rights of tho latter should never be 'sacrificed to- (ho
interests of.tho former. Special legislation too fre
quently lias thlstbndcncyl Capital can always com.
mand employment and profit— labor, less-ablo lo
command cither,'should receive tho watchful care of
government.
I am most happy; my fellow cltlzehs.'lo meet yon
1n my present capacity, at n period when onr common
country is at peace with all tho worldand prosperous
an an eminent degree.’ Tho dangerous conflict touch
ing the subject of alavCry, which for atlmo seemed
to menace tho stability of tho National Government,
has been.most fortunately, and I trust,-permanently
adjusted through (ho.medium of what aro generally
known os the Compromise Measures, .The.general
acquicsenco of tho several Slates In this adjustment
gives assurance of continued pcnco to the country
and permanence to tho Union—permanence to that
Union, the formation of which gave our Nation early
influcnco and dignity of position with (ha other
Powers of tho onrth. Her rights have,, consequently,
been respected by all, and her wishes, heard, with
profound regard. In war, she hjs gained a high
character for military prowMs.ohd'tn peace secured
tho confidence of nil mankind'. Tho justice and
liberality of her institutions has constrained the op
pressed of every land to seek on asylum within her
limits, and enjoy, under the ample folds of her No.
tionnl flag, political and religious freedom. .-
Tho'continuance of these unequalled blessings ia
dependent entirely upon the perpetuity of (hie great
nniinnnl.compact, and (Ida can only ba'socurcd by ■
nrnnnil observance of ilia term*’ of the. constitution
under which it was formed. The Union and tho
constitution are one snd indivisible. The former can.
not exist without tho latter, and the latter lin'd no pur.
pose bulto perfect and sustain (lie former. He,(here*
fore, who is not for the constitution, Is against the
Union ;■ and ho who Would strike nf either, would
commit political sacrilege against the groat fabric,-
sanctioned by Washington.and Franklin. The fed
oral constitution must bo maintained and executed
in all ilsparts.' It ia the paramount law ofoaoh State,
and it is the-imperative duty of their respective gov
crnmenla, lo assist in tho just and full administration
of all Us provisions. To Congress Undoubtedly be
longs, irt tho first instance, the duly of. making pro.
vision io carry Into execution the Intent of. this In
alrumcnt; but it is the right and duly of the States,
moving within tho limits of their reserved rights, to
co-operiilo with tho general government in’llils legi
llmalo work. They should ccrtalnlj never attempt,
by moans of their legislation, to embarrass the arf.
ministration of (ho constitution.' Such interference
cannot full to engender hostile feelings between the
different sections of tho Union, and if persisted in,
lend to n separation of tho States. So far'as legists,
lion of (hia kind Can bo found cm the statute book of
tliiM State, jl ahould bo speedily repealed. -Of (his
diameter. I regard (ho groafef portion nfthe law of
1847, prohibiting the me of our Slate prisons for tho
detention offugiiivcs from lahAV Whilslnwoitmg trial.
In that work I shall most cheerfully participate, as t
shall also aid, as for an I may properly do so, to sup.
press uli attempts lo resist the execution of the laws
ol Congress, whether providing fa/ the rendition of
fugUlve* frmn labor, or for any other constitutional
purpose.- Tho necessity for suob neflori ,Is fully
demonstrated by the fatal consequences resulting from
such an attempt, recently occurring within bur owrr
borders.
Tlio loyally of Ponnaylvoim (o 15e national Union
cannpl lio doubled. She l< now an alto over lliii bcen,-
for Hid constitution oml its compromises. She will
maintain anti execute, in letter and spirit,the several

phicttt conflict, and will discountenance; to the full
cxknl of her influence, nil attempts at future ngilo.
tion ofthe questions settled by them. She liai planted
herself on tlio constitution, and guided by its wlao
provisions, will seek Iq'doJuatlco to Bisections of
the country, and endavor to strengthen tlio bonds of
the Uninn, by cherishing relations of amity and fro*
lernnt affection between nil its members.
I need any po more, my follow citizens, of (ho
importance of the Union, You arc, Inm confident,
abundantly improased with its nuighiliido. Without
union, our liberties never could have been nctilovcd;
without It they onnnnl bo maintained. With the
dissolution of this national compact would fall tho
hope* of tlio world for republicanism—tlio cause uf,
political and religious liberty—tho ponce end proa,
porliy of our people. To the end, then, that,ila great
blessings may bo preserved, and Its advantages vouch*
a.ifcd to posterity, it becomes the duly ofall to yield
a patriotic submission In .the laws .constitutionally
adopted, and cherish foolingsof aflcclionoto Inter*
course between the several members nf our, glorious
Union. Admonished bo to do by (ho Immortal Woph.
Inglon, let the injunction ho regarded by each, and
all of us with n Christian fidelity. Let nur habits of
acting, thinking, and speaking of tho Union, bo s«
though It werq indeed “the Palladium ofour political
aofuty and prosperity—watching for its preservation
with jealous anxiety,' discountenancing whatever

dawn of any attempt to alienate any pmllon ofour
country from the roat, or to enfeeble tho sacred lisa
which now link together (ho various, parts." Then
