GOVERNOR'S MESSAGE,

of the Mause qt . I?epresentatives rif the
, .
General Assembh/
FEi,LowTrzum: :--11) the abundance
our harvests, the universal health of our
people, and the,rnaintimance of peace, and
individual and social prosperity, tire to. be
found 'new motives of gratitude to the Fath
er o 1 Mercies, who holds our destinies in
his hands.. That grateful homage the ac
knoivledgemeniof Our deiiendence on his
"Almighty Will, it becomes us most cheer
fully to render.
Never, in the history of the Common
wealth, has there been a period of more
prosperous tranquility. The citizens of
the State, aside from other sources of con
tentment, have at last realized that a cause
of disquiet, which
,has for the last twenty
five years oppressed them, is about to be
removed.' A beginnirg has been made in
the' practical liquidation of the public debt.
On the Ist of December 1848 the amount
of public debt was 810,842,379 31
-434. the Ist of Dec. 1851 the
net of public debt was 40,114,236 39
Thus within the last three years, there
has been effected a reduction of, upwards
of seven hundred thousand dollars of in
debtedness, without impairing the efficien
cy of the public works, or retardin4 any
plans of practical benificerce, such as the
Legislature, according to a wise policy of
wise economy, have thought proper to au
thorise.
I do not hesitate to attribute this impor
tant result to the successful operation of
the efficient and real sinking fund system,
established by the act of the 10th of April,
A. D. 1849. The detailed transactions of
the commissioners of the fund will appear
in their report to be submitted to The Leg
'Mature.
This system, copied in its lending fea
tures from_ that which was established in
the early years of our history, for the ex
tinguishment of the national debt, has
worked admirably. While there can be
no precipitate cancellation of public secu
rities, such as would derange and disturb
our monetary relalions, neither can there
be, under the present law, any such accu
mulation of stocks in the hands of the Com
missioners as to tempt or permit the appli
cation of the fund, under any accidental
' emergency, to other purposes than that for
for which it is set apart. Pledged to the ;
payment of the public debt, it must 46
sacredly regarded. The creation of this
fund, and . the adoption of the system df
"making no loans, unless provision for their'
* liquidation be made in the laws authorizing
them, have already exercised a moral in
fluence un public policy. Like the protec
tive system in national legislation, thongh
by another process, they prevent therepre
sentatives of the people from heedlessly in
curring new debts; they make the pay
ment of the public cebt a part of the fixed
policy of the State, which no one will be
willing to disavow or disturb ; they inter
fere with no extension of public improve
ments or expenditures for beniticent pur
poses. The first application of surplus rev.
enue is to pay a proportion of the State
debt, the next to extend and maintain such ,
objects of public improvement as will,when
completed, increase actual revenue and
diffuse the greatest good. To maintain
that system of financial policy, which has
for its object the' gradual and certain ex
tinguishment of the public debt, is as well
the duty as it will be doubtless the earnest
desire of the General Assembly. .
Believing that the revenues of the Coin
. monwealth, if 'properly guarded, are ade
quately -sufficient for both objects—the
payment of the debt and the completion of
the public improvements-1 again and ear
nestly press on the Legislature the claims
of that great section of state lying on
the North Branch of the Susquehanna.—
The north Branch canal ought to be fin
ished without further delay. Its comple
tion would insure increased revenue to the,
'Treasury, and would be a simple act - of
justice to a large portion of the people in
terested in its construction.
The propriety of calling upon the Na
tioualGovernment fora portion of the pub
lic lands in aid of the several great lines of
railway communication within our borders,
is again suggested and urged upon your
favorable consideration.
To the existing and completed internal
improvements of the State, or rather to the
mode of their administration, I invite spe
cial attention. There is in it some radical
defects which need reformation. It is
wanting in proper checks and the enforce
ment of proper responsibility; to - secure
which - it_ is respectfully urged upon the
Legislature to make such change as will
authorize the election of one Canal Coin
' missioner by the people for a term of three
years, to whom shall be entrusted the
. whole supervision of the system, and the
• selection by the Legislature of an Engi
neer, to serve for a similar term, to whom
shall be committed the duty of making the
• necessary examinntions and estimates of
. the propriety and cost ofconstruction and
repair of the public works. That a com
missioner or agent for payments shall be
selected by the Internal Improvement Corn
missioners,to be charged with the disburse
' merit of the public funds annually .appro
printed to these purposes, Officers thus
selected, owing their appointment todiffer
ent powers in, the Government, would ) from
that fact, and the nature of their duties,.
act as checks 'upon each 'other, brag re
sponsibility directly to each department of
the system, and secure a more active and
energetic discharge of duty.
- It cannot be doubted that the revenue de
rived from the public works ought to be
very greatly increased. These improve
' rrients should now bring a clear revenue
io the Treasury. In other States, canals
and railways . have rarely failed to become
sources. of such revenue within twenty
years' from , the period of their ciinstrue
tion,while with us, from causes heretofore
suggested .for. legislative action, 'and still
within legialidive control, the result has
fibeert widely . different.

Our system of public education is fitr
from that perfection which is desiral I
(.;
Defects appear to arise from insufPiiicitCy
of fends, and the want of proper teachers.
It is manifest that competent persons, in
sufficient numbers to supply the demand
fir their services, 'cannot •be had, unless
some practical plan'is adopted as part of
the Common School systerp, to create pro
ft.ssionnl teacher 3. The ability to impart
I;nowl ei k e t o others ; Particularly to young:
minds, is to be obtained only after long and
patient Study, assisted by all the facilities
which science and learning can -afford.—
The future greatness and happiness of our
country- depend so much upon the enlight
enment of the public mind, that the states-,
man and patriot cannot devote his time,l
energy and talents to a more worthy object
than its attainment.
Tim recent agricultural exhibition was
so numerously attended and so creditable
to our people, in the display of works of
skill and home industry, as well as of ag
ricultural impliments and stock, that I am
convinced great public good must result
from it. The urgent requests of the form
er Message, believed it to be of value and,
importance to this great interest, it is hoped
will meet favorable action at your hands.,
These exhibitions should be repeated in
other parts of the State, and cherished as l
the best means of dinging practical and
scientific knowledge of agriculture. The!
establishment of a State Society for West
ern Pennsylvania, would be highly advan- 1 1
tageous to the people of that portion, de
prived as they are by the difficulty of
transportation of a full participation in the
benefits of the present Society. - •
Contracts have been made for the .
pub
lication of the Colonial Records, and of
the maps and other documents connected ,
with the Geological Survey of the State.
An interesting report from the gentleman
chrirged with the arrangement (or publica
tion of the Pennsylvania Archives accom
panies this Message. I invite to it and to
these important and interesting papers
your favorable action. The supervision of
the publication of these papers should be
entrusted to the gentleman who has arrang
ed them. The labor performed has great
ly exceeded the amount contemplated, by
the Legislature, and hence demands addi.
tional compensation.
The Insane Asylum, as well as other
.eliaritable institutions in which the State
is directly interested, are in a prosperous
condition. The kindly regards of the As
sembly are solicited for these institutions
It is a pleasant reflection now, and will
be a grateful reminiscence hereafter, that
to the promotion of alifthese interests, the
administration of public affairs, while un
der my control, has faithfully and to some
extent effectually directed its labors. It is
to be regretted that more was not accom
plished, but it is still encouraging to know
that so much of practical good has been
In the enactment of the revenue laws of
he National Governn:ent, much injury
as resulted to many of the industrial in
crests of this State. Their alteration in
such manner as will protect these interests,
all must earnestly desire. I have on form
er occasions most fully expressed my
views on this subject, and have urged up
on the Legislature the propriety of such
action as would influence favorably the
National Congress. The great manufac
turing. mining, and agricultural interests
of Pennsylvania require and demand a
change of present system of tariff laws.
The ill success attending former efforts,
furnishes no ex use for an omission again
to call attention to the subject. In the
confederacy of States, we hold an impor
tant position. Pennsylvania, from the
numbers of het population, and. their ac
knowledged patriotism, has a right to de
mand for her industry that kindly legislu•
tion which it deserves and should receive.
It is not the part of a high-minded people
to make bargains for the security of their
rights, and it is equally unbecoming tamyly
to submit to oppression and wrong. A firm
and manly demand for the change of pol-
icy which is rapidly impoverishing a por
tioe of our citizens, retarding the growth
of the State, and preventing the develop
ment of its mineral resources, would have
the effect of securing from our National
Government Such modifications of its laws
rt,? would protect American labor against
the ruinous competition it meets, in our
markets, from the labor of foreign coun
tries. It is most sincerely to be hoped,
that the present Assembly will determine,
in its action on this subject, to be faithful
to Pennsylvania.
A communication from the Inspector of
the Western Penitentiary has been laid be
fore me. Its statements show that the
number sit' finished cells is inadequate to
the accommodation of the convicts. To
secure punishment by separate confine
ment, it is proposed to finish another tier
of cells already commenced. Whilst con- 1
cuffing fully in the recommendations of
the Worthy Inspectors,l desire to call your
early attention to their letter hereto an
nexed.
My attention has been directed, by the
occurrence of fearful accidents in the cities
I of our Commonwealth, to the necessity of
precautionary legislation on the subject of
the construction of private "and public
buildings in crowded communities. I re
spectfully ask your consideration of this
matter. It is . idle to say that a sense of
individual self-interest is a sufficient pro.'
tection on this , subject. All experience
shows it is not so ; and that in , localities
whore ground is very valuable,.space re
stricted, and competition for, position ac
tive, everything is lost siglit of but tempo:
rary advantage. The public is not roused
to the sense of impending danger' ntil smite
frightful casuality, involving tho loss of
innocent human lifeotartles it frorn false
security. Legislation in prevention of the
recurrence, of these casuitlities is earnestly
recommended..
The laws in relation to small notes is
sued by banks of ,other, States have failed
to iettlize the results intended by the Leg-
=====l
klature. In many-counties they are en
tirely disregarded. In a former message
reference was made to'the evil consequen
ces likely to result to the morals of a cptn
[nullity from open disobedience to law.—
j It is clear that the present law is not, and
will not be executed. The circulating nll,-
dium it proposes to banish, should not be
permitted to exist aiming us, in its present
condition. Authority to the banks ortbe
!Commonwealth to issue this denomination
of money, would speedily drive from cir
culation this depreciateecurrency, by the
substitution of notes issued by institutions
under the control of the Legislature. In
relation to this subject as well as to a sys
tem of free banking, based upon public se
curities, the recommendations of a former
message aro respectfully submitted to your
careful consideration.
I would refer you to a report of the Ca
nal Commissioners for a detailed statement
of the p e receedings on the public works
during the past year ; and to the reports
of /the Auditor General, State Treasurer,
Surveyor General, Superintendent of Com
mon Schools, and Adjutant General, for
information in relation to the operations
and condition of these several departments
during the same period.

An act, entitled " An Act to graduate
ands on which money is duo and unpaid
to the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania,"
passed the 101 h day of April, A. D., 1835,
expired, by its own limitation, on the 10th
day of December last. Its re-enactment
would secure to many the advantages of
the law, who, from pecuniary inability, or
other causes, have been unable to avail
themselves f its provisions.
It will devolve upon the present Assem
bly to make an apportionment of the State,
for the election of members of the House
of Representatives of the United States.—
I feel confident the greatest care will be
observed, to give to every portion of the
Commonwealth its just claims,and to make
the arrangement of the Congressional Dis
tricts strictly confdrmahle to those consid
erations of population and locality which
should apply to them.

KOSSUTII IN
The following article which wiatake from
the .Pantsylvanion, of the Bth inst., con
tains peculiar interest, and which we be
lieve to be from the 'pen of Mr. Foe NE?,
ils late editor. • ---- ,
" I enjoyed the , privilege on Saturday;
of a long interview with Governor Louis
KOSSUTH an interview participated in by
several members of Congress. Ho is a
great man ; and is great in small things
as well as things of impertance: His con''-
,
coon sense is wonderful. He has a rare
unselfishness of manner and of matter, that
quite captivates you. That he is a well
bred man, his easy bearing, his attention
while others aro talking, and the subdued
tones of his voice, are all so many eviden-,
ces. He was dressed in a short, close
fitting black velvet frock coat, leaving his
slight but graceful figure displayed, and
giving to his appearance a dignified char
acter. His face is a rich study for an ar
tist, and his light blue eye kindles to every
emotion, and anticipates the thought ready
to leap from his tongue. His voice is ex
tremely agreeable ; and his gesticulations
graceful and feminine. While he listened
to us he held in his left hand a half-lighted
segar, but when ho spoke himself, ho laid
it down, and took up point, by point, what
had been said to him. It is a great blun
der to say that he speaks imperfect Eng
lish. His pronunciation is considerably
defective, but its orientalism is exceeding
ly fascinating. Ho thinks almost rapidly ;
and when ho ponders fora thought, which
is seldom, his manner alone is eloquent.—
He speaks in axioms. " The People," he
said, "aro always ahead of the leaders."
" I do not complain that my cause is dis
cussed in Congress, because it is so strong
that discussion strengthens it still more"
"Those vim differ from me in Congress
aro no doubt honest; I find no fault, though
I hope for the best." Repoblicanism is
always misrepresented ; and those who
oppose it look through various colored
spectacles, making it red or green as cir
cumstances require.". He was very much
affected by the Ohio address, and when
we entered, was just making out on the
map his intended route to the West, dis
playing in this, as in all his movemsnts, a
rapidity of action and perception, and a
shrewd knowledge of men and things, in
the highest degree remarkable. Ho is
very temperate and laborious ; has his sec
retaries always about him ; and when not
engaged in speaking to deputations. or re
ceiving visitors, is directing letters abroad,
or answering invitations. The love his
associates manifest for him is unbounded
NQJhing could be more deferential than
their bearing to him—nothing more kind
than his conduct to them. Though a man
inured to hardships and to danger, and for
years the witness of almost incredible suf
fering on tlfe part of his country, ho melts,
like a woman, at the story of the wrongs
of Hungary. Gen. CASS assured mo that
he could not restrain his tears while allu-
luding to the past history of that manacled
and betrayed Republic. No one calls to
see KOSSETU who does not leave Itini„his
admirer, or his advocate
not convince by his logic, he fascinates by
his courtesy, or disarms by his disintercet-
100,000
ednoss ; and many who come to criticise,
remain to applaud. Such is the being who
is making monarchs quake, and cabinets
tremble ; whose words fall like bombs
among the nobility of the Old World; and
whose reasoning exposes the hollow heart-
edness of European diplomacy. " Oh!"
he says' " let my bleeding country be but
healed again—let my oppressed fellow
40,000
countrymen ba but free again ; and you
will find in me no Dictator, no deceiver,no
imposter like the last NAPOLEON, but a
