Packer was inaugurated at Har risburg on Tuesday last, in the presence of a large crowd of people and thirteen mili tary companies. The length of the ad dress excludes some other matter from our paper to-day, but as our readers will prob ably desire to see what the new Executive has to say for himself, we give it in full. The most remarkable feature in it is his condemnation of the Leconipton Constitu tion, thus taking ground with Douglas on that question, and against Buchanan, Big ler & Co. Should Mr. Packer continue in | this position in good faith and discard the j old State robbers, we shall not have much j fault to find with his administration. FBLLOW-CITIZKNS :—ln appearing before you to inter upon my duties as Governor of the Commonwealth, I consult my own incli* nations in conforming to the usage which de mands a popular address ; aud in the first place, I gladly embrace this opportunity to return my profound and grateful thanks to the people of Pennsylvania, for honoring me with the Chief Executive office in their gov ernment. Their kindness will never be for gotten, ner will the confidence they have rt- Eosed in me ever be intentionally betrayed. >uty to them and to myself will require that the obligation which I have just taken, to discharge my publio duties with fidelity shall bo faithfully observed ; and thus justify, as far as possible, the popular decision. Doubt less I may commit errors in a position in volving so much of responsibility ; but I will hope that none of them will be of a grave character, or productive of vital injury te the public interests. I crave in advance a charitable judgment upon my official con duct—that it shall be coustroed with kind ness and toleration, so long as it shall appear to be prompted by sincere and honest motives —and I here engage, in this public and for' mal manner, to regard the will of the people, the public good, and the commands of the Constitution, as the guiding lights by which my course is to be directed. With these aims constantly in view, I shall indulge the pleas ing hope of doing some good in the high station to which f have been called by the public voice, and of repressing some evils Which may threaten the public welfare, or the individual rights of the people. Fclloiv-Cilizciis of the Senate and House of Representatives: —lt will be my ardent desire to cultivate with you, as Representatives of the people, the most amicable relations, and to unite with you in the adoption of all such measures as the public good may require The different branches of the government, although charged with distinct duties, are to be regarded as parts of one harmonious whole; and it is well when these parts move ouward without jar, interference, or collis ion. Nevertheless, the distinct duties of the Executive, when duly and honestly perform ed, may occasion differences with the Legis lature; but, in such case, it will be expedient to cultivate a spirit of compromise and con ciliation for the disposal of such differences, or, at least, for mitigating the feelings of alienation to which they tend. It is one of the duties of the Executive, from time to time, to give to the General Assembly informatiun of the state of the Commonwealth, and rec-commend to their consideration suoh measures as he shall judge expedient; and under usage this is done by messages in writing, which are entered among the public records and remain a part of the official history of the State. Ido not understand this as f power of dictating to the General Assembly measures they shall adopt, nor even as a power of initiating laws, but as an informing and suggesting power' iu no respect trenching upon the just and proper jurisdiction of the legislative depart ment of a free State. In short, it was never intended to give a legal control over the pro ceedings uf the Representatives of the people ,n the enactment of laws. It is, therefore, a right of communication with them, which, while prudently and reasonably exercised' -•an give no just occasion for jealousy, ob jection, or complaint. The Executive when exercising this right, is but performing a plain duty, and can apprehend no difficulty in speaking with a respectful freedom even upon questions where an entire agreement of sentiment cannot be expected. But there is another and more delicate power which pertains to the relations between the Legislative and Executive departments. By the twenty-third and twenty-fourth sections of the first article of the Constitution, all bills passed by the General Assembly, and most of the orders, resolutions and votes in which they may concur, are submitted to the Executive, and if disapproved by him can only be made valid by a vote of two-thirds ot each Ilouse, This power of disapproval 10 among the most important duties of the Executive, and is constantly becoming more t=o, irom the operation of obvious and natu ral causes In my opinion it is clear and binding duty of the Executive to return for °^ ry biU ' order ' resolution or vote, presented to him, which he cannot approve in other words, that the assent of his judgment and conscience shall be actu ally given to any measure before he permits it to take effect; unless, indeed, it be passed against his objection by a two-thirds vot-. lhe words of the Constitution are "if he approve, he shall sign it, but if he shall not approve, he shall return it with his objections * be House in which it shall have originat ed." Words could not convey a power, and •Tescribe a duty in a more clear and definite form. It is manifestly the intention of the Con stitution that the deliberate and conscien tious approval of the Governor shall be given to a bill before it becomes a law, in addition to the approval of the two Houses that have previously passed it, unless the majorities afterwards given to it upon re-consideration m each House, shall b so decisive as to clearly indicate the wisdom of the measure. llt is true that upon things trivial or indiff erent, where no great interests are involved ! nor constitutional principles in question, nor ; private rights assailed, considerations of ex j pediency may be taken into account by the j Executive ; but certainly no substantial ob iection, whether of policy or of principle, can ! be waived by him in view of his oath to sup ; port the Constitution. Ten days (Sundays | excluded,) are allowed the Executive to eon i eider a bill, and to approve or veto it, after which it will become a law without his sig nature, if not previously returned. The practice of my predecessors has been oeca ! sionally to permit bills to become laws by tbis limitation of time. They have taken effect in the entire absence of Executive ac tion. But I believe this has only occurred where the Executive has found it impossible I to form a positive opinion upon the measure ! where, though not unobjectional, it was trn I vi a l_or, where it was manifest that a veto would not cause its defeat. I his Executive 1 practice ought not to be extended, and the practise itself is open to the question. For if the provision that bills neither signed nor returned within ten days, shall become law.-, was intended as a guard against Executive ' abuse, in holding them an undue period, and i not as a mode by which the Executive might i cause them to take effect, without the re i sponsibility of acting upon them, it would ! seem elenr that the practice of holding them over for such purpose cannot be de fended. But the Legislature by its adjournment within ten days after the passage of a bill, may deprive the Executive of due time for considering it, and hence it is provided that | in such case it shall become a law unless sent back within three days after the next meeting. In modern practice a large num ber of bills arc usually sent to the Governor within a few days of the adjournment of the Legislature, takes place* In fact many arc scot to him in the very closing hours of the sessions. But it would seem plain that the Executive could reasonably ask in such case only the full constitutional period of ten days for forming his opinion, and that all bills he believes it his duty to approve shall be act ually signed within that period. By the cx> ercise of reasonable industry this can in all cases be accomplished. Then, such bills as he disapproves will be held over to be re turned to tbe proper branch of the General Assembly within three days after their next meeting, according to the constitutional pro vision. This will properly dispose of all i bills in his hands at the adjournment, unless indeed it be allowable to hold over bills and permit them to become laws without his ac tion. The propriety of signing bills by the Gov ernor between the sessions of the Legislature has been questioned. It d-es not accord with the old practice ; and is certainly liable to abuse. During my term it will be strictly confined to tbe first ten days after an adjourn, ment, and all bills not then approved, may be considered as awaiting the next meeting of the General Assembly, to be returned with the Executive disapproval. The Executive should not be subjected for long periods of time to the solicitations of those interested in bills, nor should he be subject to the imputa tions of indecision, or favoritism almost an. avoidable in such cases. Nor is it right that he should have in his hands the means of influence which the holding open of his de cision upon bills during a recess would con fer. Besides, a great wrong uiay be done to those interested in legislation, by continu ing them for an undue period in uncertain ty a9 the fate of bibs in which their rights, their property, or their business may be in volved. These are the evils which an Execu tive may obviate by settling his policy firm ly in the outset of his administration. It j would be well, also, for the Legislature to o j shape its action as to avoid tbe necessity of ; sending many important bills to the Gover nor in the closing days or hours of a session. Fellow Citizens : Although it will not be I expected that I should at this time discuss in detail the particular questions which will probably come before the government during my term, I desire briefly to give expression to the general views of public policy to which I hold, in their application to practical i-sues now pending. The currency of the State in such a disordered condition that a general and wholesome public opinion defends its re- j form, and the establishment of effectual bar riers against future convulsions. This is a ; subject which will tes: the intelligence, the j firmness, and the patriotism of the Kepresen. tativesof the people in the Legislative depart ment, and may impose grave responsibilities ! upon the Executive. My views are decidedly hostile to the emission and circulation of! small notes as a currency ; to the increase of ; banking capital under present arrangements; and to the i-sues of bank paper upon securi- : ties inadequate for their redemption. The want of uniformity iu the legal provisions under which existing banks operate, i- ob jectionable. In the revision and the amend ment of our banking system, the public in- j terests in my opinion demand the extension of the specie basis upon which issues are made ; the'suppreseion of the smaller denomi nation of notes heretofore allowed ; through reports of the condition and business of Banks with their frequent publication ; additional security (other than specie,) to consist of the bonds "of this State or of the United States, for the redemption of circulating notes, in cluding in all cases proper individual liabili ty of stockholders and directors, fitted for convenient and actual enforcement; with a supervisory and controlling power in some proper officer or department of the Govern ment to restrain <*r suspend the action of Banks in case of their violation or evasion of the law. When a specie currency shall be secured to the people by prohibiting the circulation of bills of a small denomination, it will be highly desirable that the fiscal affairs of the State government shall be wholly separated from those of the banks ; in other words that the money transactions of the govern ment both in its collections and disburse ments shall be in the legal coin of the coun try. Whenever a practicable, convenient aad efficient scheme for the operations of the Treasury upon such a bais can be presented to me by the Representatives of the people, it will meet with a cheerful approval. - There are difficulties in the case however, far greater than those surmounted by the general govern, ment, in the establishment of its independ- ! ent Treasury system ; but the object being one of the first magnitude, and calculated to exercise a most salutary influence npon the action of the government, and upon the business of the banks and tbe people, it is well worthy of earnest consideration. In reforming the currency, a single State can accomplish but a moderate amount of good, however sincere, intelligent and earn est it may bo, without the co-operation of ' other States, and especially of those which I adjoin it. Bank notes arc not stopped in their flow by imaginary State lines, uor does 1 it seem possible for a State altogether to pre vent foreign notes from circulating within I her borders, even by the most stringent en actments. We must, therefore, invoke our sister States to join with us in the repression of small paper, and in such other particulars of reform as require for complete success their 00-operation. Meantime to the extent of our power let us exert ourselves to fur nish our citizens with a safe and staple cur rency; to prevent future financial convul sions similar to that under which the community has for some time been struggl ing ; and to relieve the government >n its fiscal action from the danger of depreciated or worthless paper, nud the embarrassments arising from dependence upon corporations of her own creation. The people ot Pennsylvania by the recent adoption of an amendment to the Constitu tion on the subject of Public Indebtedness, have imposed an imperative obligation upon their servants to practise economy, to limit expenditures, and to give their best efforts to the gradual but eventual extinguishment of the existing public debt. After eight years experience under the sinking fund act of 1849, we find our public indebtedness but slightly diminished. The constitutional amendment just adopted demands the es* tablishment of an effective sinking fund for its payment, and I shall consider it one of the leading duties of my administration to see that that amendment is carried out both in its letter and its spirit. I cannot regard the reduction of the 3 mill tax ou property made at the lust regular session of the Leg* islature, otherwise than as inopportun •; and doubtless existing financial einbarrasments will for a time reduce the amount derived from other sources of revenue. Nor will any very large amount of the purchase money of the main line of the public works be realized by the Treasury for a consider able t eriod. It will therefore, be necessary for the State to husband her resources, and increase her revenues as far as possible, without oppression to any interest, in order to meet her current and necessary outlays, the demands of her creditors, and the posi tive obligation of the constitutional amend ment. There is a great lack of consistency and principle in the laws passed during some years in relation to incorporations. They have been created upon iio settled, uniform plan ; are excessive in number, and many of them unnecessary to the accomplishment of any legitimate purpose. They Lave doubtless encouraged speculation, and in various ways contributed to the recent financial convulsion. Various and inconsistent provisions appear in acts establishing or extending the powers of corporate bodies of the same class and general character. The tax laws relating to them are in some confusion, and consequently taxes paid by them unequal, while some wholly es cape any share of the public burdens. In brief, our system of incorporations has become so vast, diversified and difficult f comprehen sion, that no reasonable industry can master the whole subject, and understand precisely where we arc and whither we are drifting.— A thorough revision of our laws on this sub ject, and the establishment of general, uniform regulations for each class of corporate bodies, with the avoidance, as far as possible, of.spe cial provisions for particular corporations, are reforms imperiously demanded by the public interests, in which I shall heartily co-opcratc. I Lave no hostility to express against incorpo rations for proper objects beyond the power of individual means and skill, nor generally against legislative facilities for the application of labor and capital to the creation of wealth, where individual unprompted action will not go. Hut no one can assert that we have lim ited ourselves to such a policy, nor that our laws on this subject have been careful, consis tent and just. Hut, notwithstanding all topics of regret or criticism in our public career, (aud which should bear their proper fruit in amendment and reform.) wc may well be proud of this Pennsylvania of ours—of her people her in stitutions and her laws. She has become great, prosperous and powerful; ranking among the first of the States ; aud her condi tion at home and character abroad bear testi mony to her merits, and promise for her a distinguished future. Hesidea her agrieultu ral resources, which arc great and first in importance, she is capable of producing in untold quantities those two articles of prime necessity and universal use. Iron and Coal. Even in times of widespread financial calam ity, wbn speculation and extravagance have done their worst to cripple the operations of capital, and stay the hand of labor in its use ful toil, the leading interests of our State may be counted among the first to revive and to furnish a strung and reliable basis for the re sumption uf activity in all the channels of employment, and in all the operations of trade. That government weuld be unwise and blind which would administer the public affairs of this State otherwise than in a spirit of kind ness and protection to these great and capital interests. From the earliest period of our history, it has been the policy of Pennsylvania to edu cate all her citizens; and at this time uur in stitutions of learning and educational facilities are equal to those of any country. Our Com mon School system is justly distinguished as one of the must practical and efficient in the Union. Let us then cherish this traditional policy, coming down to us from the fathers of the Commonwealth, and by every menus in our power foster and strengthen the measures ! now successfully producing the results so ar dently desired by the patriotic men who have gone before us. While our domestic affaire and policy nat urally will occupy most of the attention of our Government and our people, it is not to be forgotten that Pennsylvania bears very in teresting relations to the other States of the confederacy, and looks with uu anxious eye to the proceedings and policy of the General Government. It is both our duty aud our interest to cultivate the most friendly relations with our sister States, and to frown upon all attempts to sow among them feelings of alien ation. We should exert our whole influence to keep the government of the Union in its true position as the common agent of the States and the people, exercising high powers aud trusts for their advantage and welfare, and deriving all its powers from the written Constitution which called it into being. At this time wc have strong reason to confide in that Government, as wc know that its admin istration is in safe, able arid patriotic hands ; and that it may be trusted to deal justly with all sections of the eountry. Insubordination—an utter disregard arid contempt of just and lawful authority—has heretofore produced difficulties iu the Territo ries of Kansas and Utah, and, in the case of the latter, has now precipitated a state of armed hostility between the inhabitants and the General Government. Iu the former, the peaceful American remedy for the redress of political grievances, real or imaginary—the | ballot box—has been for a long timo abjured ; by a Considerable portion of the population, i and a struggle between legal authority and unlawful and irregular combinations contin ued down to the present period. Meantime, contributions of money and aid from the States have kept up excitement and turbu lence in the Territory, and enabled designing men there to inflame passions which otherwise would long since have subsided. The judgment and opinion of the country cannot be too strongly consolidated in favor of the laws and against all who rise up to oppose them by unauthorized means. Nor can the excuse for resistance to the Territori al laws, and for failing to perform the duties of citizenship under them, that wrongs and frauds wre perpetrated at elections, be admit ted as a justification. Where elections are so frequent, and the right of suffrage so liberal, as in this country, it is peculiarly the duty of a good citizen to obey existing authorities, and even objectionable laws, knowing that the former cau be changed, and the latter modi fied or repealed, within a very brief period. And as to disputed elections, they must be decided by the proper legal authority, and not by individual citizens, or irregular self constituted assemblages. Insubordination to necessary and rightful authority, instigated aud encouraged by un worthy men in the organized States, who de sired that discord should continue, and were willing to contribute to that object, is the prolific fountain from which the troubles in Kansas have heretofore proceeded. It was natural, perhaps inevitable, that this conduct by a party in the territory should provoke an opposite party to many unjustifi able acts, and to much imprudent and unrea sonable conduct. Thus extremes act and react upon each other, and when the laws are defied and individual action lot loose, wrong, outrage and violence are necessary results. The last phase of the Kansas question, which is upon the constitution framed by a Territorial Convention, is peculiarly for the judgment of Congress, to which the power of admitting new States is confided by the Con stitution of the Union. The representatives of the people and of the States in Congress assembled, will meet that question under all the responsibilities which they owe to their constituents, and which arc imposed upon llieni by their oaths of oifice; and with full information on matters of fact important to the formation of a final judgment. Events are constantly occurring in the territory which will afford matter for Congressional debate, and may affect the ultimate decision. To the people of Pennsylvania the admis sion of a new State into the Union—into that confederacy of which she is a member—must be at all times a subject of high interest.— And I believe I express their sentiments as well as my own, in declaring that all the qualified cleetors of a Territory, should have a full and fair opportunity to participate in selecting delegates to form a Constitution pre paratory to admission as a State, and, if de sired by them, they should also be allowed an unqualified right to vote upon such Constitu tion after it is framed. Of course those who then fail to vote, in either ease, cannot com plain that the proceeding gties on without thoir participation. It is to be hoped, that Congress will make swell provision for other Territories that the present difficulty will have no repetition in the future. In conclusion, permit me to observe, that all experience and reflection prove that the moral virtu*s form the only firm foundation at public order as well as individual charac ter, and their support should therefore engage the profound attention of Government; and the co-operation of all good men. Frail indeed will be any structure reared for the regulation of society, and the promo tion of man's true and substantial happiness, unless it stand upon a foundation more per manent than paper arrangement, or the fleet ing impulses of the hour! The recognition ola Great Supreme Power, which rules the affairs of nations and of men, is the only support <>f those virtues which can make a people distinguished and prosperous, and give to government duration and success. Sin corely imploring the Divine guidance in The performance of duty, I assume the poet as signed nie by the people, indulging the hope that at the termination of my service I shall enjoy the approval of my own conscience and behold Pennsylvania advanced and secure in her position as one of the great communities of the New World—her standard aloft, and proudly bearing, untarnished, her motto of " irtue, Liberty and Independence."

BENJAMIN MCCOY died at his residence in Granville township, Mifflin county, PH., on January 10th inst., after a lingering iUncus of pulmonary consumption, in the 37th year of his age. One year last October his com panion was suddenly removed from the fami ly circle by death. It was a severe affliction to him, and he never appeared to recover from the shock. Four of his little children had been taken previous to this, and now that his Anna was gone the world to him appeared to have perished. As a man he was unas suming in his pretensions—and in all the re lations of life, as brother, father, husband and friend, he was faithful and true, and none knew him but to love him. He has left three little children and a large connexion of rela tives to mourn his loss, but we mourn not without hope. His last illness was lingering and at times very painful, yet he endured it all with Christian patience, and he waanevsr heard to utter a murmur or complaint. Much of his time was spent in prayer to God, not that he might live, but that he might be fully prepared to depart and be with Christ, which is far better, and that he might suffer all His righteous will and to the end endure. During his illness, his trust and unfaltering confi dence in his Savior remained firm and unsha ken te the end, often repeating "Trust, feeble man, thy Maker's love," and with Job ex claiming, " I will trust in m v God though he slay me," —" At even time it shali be light." God was evidently preparing him for his change, and aVme neared the gate of death he peacefully and triumphantly closed his eyes to all of. earth, lisping in sweetest ac cents, " It's getting lighta• and LIGHTER." On Monday his earthly remains were laid in the new Wesley Chapel and Ebenezer Cem etery, followed by a large number of friends, there te await the resurrection of the just.
