The "Blind". and the " Deaf and Dumb
Asylums," in Philadelphia, invite our sym
pathy, and ask to share the benefactions of
the Commonwealth. They should „not be

Legislation, in relation to all questions of
moral and social reform, should be carefully
and wisely considered and matured. On no
subject, within the constitutional authority
of the Legislature, are the people so sensi
tive; and no one more deeply interests eve
ry class and condition of society. Sumptu
ary laws, as a general rule, are of doubtful
expediency, and as abridgments of the lib
erty and priyileges•of the citizen, can only
be justified on the ground of necessity.—
Whilst this is admitted, it cannot be denied
that the evils resulting from intemperance,
create a necessity for regulating and-restrain
ing by legislative acts, the traffic and sale of
intoxicating liquors Tu what extent this
traffic should be restrained by positive law,
must depend on the will of the people, de
termined by considerations of their own
moral, physical v.nd social welfare. What
ever may be my own opinion, or that of the
Legislature or the people, in reference to
the law of the last session "to restrain the
sale of intoxicating liquors,' ) it must he ad
mitted that a full return to the license sys
tem, in operation prior to the passage of the
present law, is not demanded by enlightened
public sentiment, and would not promote the
good order or happiness of the community.
That the laws then in existence were imper
fect and failed to check or control the evils
of intemperance, is a proposition too plain to
he doubted—that they needed revision must
also be conceded. In our large cities and
towns, the evils of the system were inure se
verely felt. The facility and cheapness with
which licenses were obtained, operated as a
premium to vice and immorality, and multi
plied tippling houses and places where in
temperance, under the authority of law, was
not only permitted, but encouraged. My
immediate predecessor, in his last annual
message to the Legislature, in reference to
the then license laws, says: "Su far as re
lates to the-city of Philadelphia, they are
peculiarly prejudicial to public morals, and
seem to have been cunstfucted to promote
the convenience of drinking far+inore titan to
restrain its evil consequences." In this
opinion I fully concur. That a remedy was
demanded, all will concede. Whether the
law of the last session was the proper reins
dy, it is not my province now to determine.
Enacted by the representatives of the people,
I gave that act my official approval. Recog
nizing the people as the source of all politi
cal power, and their repyesentatives :is the
immediate exponents of their will, upon you
will devolve the responsibility of further
legislation, if any on this subject. In all its
relations, economical, political, social and
moral, the question is important, and its
proper determination involves fearful respon
sibilities. It deserves, and should receive,
your serious consideration. If action is had,
may we not hope that it-will be such as will
promote the virtue, morality, and the
interests of our people and Commobwealth.
Legislation, so far as is practicable, should
be general and uniform. Local and special
legislation should nut be eneouratr ' ed, when
th desired object can be obtainedhy• gener
laws. Such legislation is nut only local and
special in its character, but frequently
temporary—the act of one session being re
pealed by the act of the next, and perhaps
replaced by one still more objectionable,
which, in turn, soon shares the fate of its
predecessors. it crowds the statute book
with useless and unnecessary laws—violates
private rights—creates confusion and uncer
tainty—destroys uniformity of prattler and
decision—prolongs the sessions of the Legis
lature, and increases the public expenses.—
Our general laws regulating roads, highways
and bridges, and providing for the support
and employment of the poor, constitute a
well digested system fur the accomplishment
of those objects; and yet under the system
of local legislation heret ofore practiced, we
frequently find in different townships of the
same county, local laws regulating these
subjects, nut only differing materially from
the general law, but from one another. Re
formin this regard is required, and to this I
respectfully ask your attention.
"Omnibus legislation': having been con
demned and abandoned, should not be again
permitted to sully the records of legislative
action. It cannot receive my approval.
Numerous applications will doubtless be
made fur the incorporation of insurance, gas,
water and boom companies. To facilitate
action on these questions—economise time--
reduce the expenses of legislation--secure
uniformity and confine the companies there
after incorporated to the legitimate purposes
of their creation, I would recommend the
propriety of enacting general laws regulating
such corporations. Already laws of this
character for coal, iron, canal, railroad,
turnpike, plank and bridge companies have
been passed, and in practice have been kund
highly useful and economical. SuchZl[ws,
well regulated-and carefully guarded, would
be productive of similar results in their ap
plication to insurance and the other compa
4nies named
The propriety of limiting and restraining
corporate bodies to the objects and purposes
of their creation, will not be denied or con
troverted. In relation to the powers and
privileges of insurance companies, this plain
principle has been overlooked and disre
garded. By successive acts of
many of these institutions have acquired dis
counting privileges, and nearly all the powers
of banks without their guards, restrictions
and liabilities. This has been effected by
the magic of souse general provision in the
act incorporating the company, or by refer
ence to some forgotten supplement concealed
in the folds of an "omnibus bill," or lost in
the mazes of the pamphlet laws. General
laws, whilst they would confer on such com
panies all the powers necessary to accomplish
the objects of their incorporation, would at
the same time prevent an extension of privi
leges foreign to such associations. This sub
ject is commended to your consideration.
The jurisdiction of the courts in relation
to real estate, trusts, the incorporation of
literary, charitable and religious societies,
manufacturing and other associations, has
been greatly extended by recent legislation.
This enlarged jurisdiction was conferred for
the purpose of relieving the legislature from
the pressure of numerous applications for
special legislation in the premises. The
courts are, therefore, the proper tribunals to
determine such questions, and in all Cases
where . the subject matter is within their ju
risdiction, the Legislature should refuse to
entertain the application.
Divorces, unless in cases of extreme neces
sity and clearly beyond the jurisdiction .of
the courts, should not be granted by the Leg
islature,
By the act of the 16th of April, 1845 enti
tled "An Act to increase the revenues and
diminish the Legislative expenses of the
Commonwealth," it was provided that here
after no private bill, there,in described and
taxed, should be enrolled in the office of the
Secretary of the Commonwealth, or published,
or have the force and effect of law, until the
party asking or requiring the same should,
pay into the Treasury of the ,Commonwealth
the respective sums named in said act. A
large number of acts passed by former Leg
islatures, and subject to this tax,
remain in
the office of the Secretary of the Common
wealth, the tax on them nothavingbeen paid.
The number has been annually increasing,
and will continue to increase, unless a sum
mary remedy afforded fur the collection of
the enrolment tax, or in default of its pay
ment after a certain period, the acts them
selves be repealed. The amount of enrolment
tax due the Commonwealth is large, and
should have been paid long since. I would
therefore recommend the passage of a law
repealing all acts heretofore passed, subject
to such tax, unless the tax be paid within
one year thereafter ; and further, to provide
that all such acts hereafter passed, shall not
have the force and effect of law,
sinless the
taxes respectively due thereon be paid with
in six months after this approval. Such a
law would secure the payment of these taxes,
increase the revenues, and at the same time
check the demand for private acts designed
to be used or abandoned, as the calculation
of chances, or the loss or gain of the parties
in interest might determine.
By a resolution of the Legislature, passed
the 27th day of March 1855, requiring the
"New York and Erie railroad company to
communicate to the Legialature of this Com
monwealth, a statement, certified under oath
by their president, Setting forth what quan
tity of land said company now holds- in
Pentui'Vlyinia—,its location—how much they
have disposed ' - of—its value—the value of
what they POW hold, and when the alai to,
said lands were acquired," it was made the
duty of the Govenor to transmit a copy of
said resolution to the president of the com
pany. A copy of the resolution was trans
mitted as directed ; and the answer of the
president of the company, communicating
the information required, is herewith sub
mitted to the Legislature.
By a resolution of the 26th day of April,
1855, I was requested to procure from the
Attorney General his opinion of the right of
the State of New York to divert water from
the natural bed and channel of the Chemung
river, to the prejoiice of the public improve
ments of Pennsylvania, the said river belong
ing to both States, and communicate the
same:to the Legislature. As requested, the
• opinitm of the Attorney 'General has been ob
tamed, and is herewith communicated to the
Legislature.
On the sixth of October last, I approved
and signed the bill, entitled "An Act to :re
peal the ..harter of the Erie and North East
railroad Company, and to provide for the
disposing of the same." In pursuance of its
provisions, I appointed the Hon. Joseph Ca
sey to take possession and have the charge
and custody of the road. Before possession
was taken, application was made by the CJlCl
pany to one of the judges of the Supreme
Court of thisCommonwea.lth for an injunction
to restrain the agent of the State from taking
possession of the road; and subsequently a
cautionary order was made by the Supreme
Court, in bane, to stay his proceedings under
the act. The questions involved in the ap
plication fhr an injunction are now pending
before the court, and will, it is expected,
be determined early in the present,month.—
The result will be made the subject of a
special communication to the Legislature.
The recent fraudulent, if not felonious ab
straction of a large quantity of arms from the
arsenal at Harriurg, has shown the neces
sity of additional legislation for the protection
of the arms and other public property of the
Commonwealth deposited in the arsenals of
the State. The taking and the, sale 'of the
public arms and property, without authori
ty of law, by the keeper of the arsenals, or
by others having thefts in charge, should lie
declared a felony, and punished with severity•
and all persons purchasing or receiving
the same, without proper authority, and
knowing them to.. be the property of the
Commonwealth, should be regarded as prin
cipals, and be punished accordingly.
The bonds now required to be given by the
Adjutant General and the keepers of the ar
senals, fur the faithful discharge of their duties,
are insufficient in amount to secure the Com
monwealth iominst the loss from the fraudu
lent sale or taking of the property committed
to their care. The sum in which these bonds
are taken should be increased to an amount
proportionate to the value of the property
which may lie deposited in the arsenals.
Since the sale of the arsenal in Philadel
phia, the public arms in that city have been
placed in a room or out-house procured for
that purpose. As a depository, it is unsafe
and insecure. Better provision should be
made for their safe-keeping.
The sum of thirty thousand dollars arising
from the sale of the Philadelphia arsenal, is
now in the Treasury, to be expended under
the direction of the Governor, in the purchase
of a suitable lot and the erection of a new
arsenal. This suns is wholly insufficient for
that purpose, and without additional appro
priations, which are not recommended, this
Mileyl cannot be accomplished. As arms
and munitions of war can, when required, he
transported with facility and rapidity, to
distant parts of the State, the necessity for
more than one arsenal no longer exists.—
If the arsenal at Meadville can be dispensed
with without detriment to the public service,
I would suggest for your consideration the
propriety or authorizing its sale, and the
sale of the one at Harrisburg, and with the
funds arising therefrom, and the money in
the Treasury applicable to that purpose, the
erection of a large and commodious arsenal
at Harrisburg, or elsewhere, as may be deem
ed economical, safe and convenient.
The Legislature, at the last session, hav
ing failed to elect a Senator to represent this
State in the, Senate of the United States, for
six years from the 4th of March last, it be
comes your duty to provide for an election
to supply such vacancy. By reference to
the existing laws regulating the election
of Senators to represent this State in the
Senate of the United States, it will be per
ceived that their provisions du not embrace
a case like the present.
Having, at the time of my induction into
office, declared to my fellow-citizens and
their representatives, my sentiments in rela
tion to questions connected with our nation
al politics, their reiteration now will not
be expected. To the opinions then express
ed, and now re-affirmed, you are respectfully
referred.
To maintain in their integrity the Consti
tution of our Republic, and the Union of the
States—protect the civil and religious privi
leges of the people—guard with jealous care
the general, great and essential principles of
liberty and free government--of freedom and
human rights—and vindicate by a single and
true devotion to home and country, the great
doctrine of American Nationality, areobjects
that awaken the patriotism and claim the
the energies and the heart of every Ameri
can citizen.
In obedience to the requirements of the
Constitution and laws of the State, as the
representatives of the people, you have as
sembled to perform the high and responsible
duties devolved upon you. As a co-ordinate
branch of the government, it will be alike my
duty and pleasure, to unite with you in the
enactment of all such laws as will protect the
rights of the people, and advance the honor
and prosperity of the Commonwealth.
With s sole desire for the public good—
actuated by a spirit of enlarged and enlight
ened patriotism, and guided by that wisdom
which lath its beginning in the fear of God,
may our efforts, in harmonious action, be
directed to the accomplishment of these
objects, and to the promotion of that right
eousness which exalteth a nation, and con
stitutes the trite glory of a free and indepen
dent people.

Our Foreign Relations
The North Ameriealt(a.Whigpaper) of Wed
nesday last, in speaking approvingly of the
course pursued by the President in reference to
our foreign relations—and especially as it re
gards 'the Central American question—closes
with the following paragraph :
As matters now stand, it is a source of sin
cere congratulation that our Minister at the
Court of St. James is a wise, cautious and
moderate statesman ; for if otherwise, the
worst consequences would be sure to follow.
We have good reason for believing—apart
from our general knowledge of his character
—that Mr. IBUCUANAN has thus far conducted
the negotiations in a temper which has chal
lenged the respect of the British Cabinet, and
that if he has not succeeded in bringing them
to such terms as justice demands, be has at
least shown that the most rigorous assertion
of national rights is not incompatible with
diplomatic courtesy. It is nut difficult
to appreciate the value of such an Ambassador
at such a juncture."
TERKIBLE MranEa.—An insane man, named
Charles Sanford, committed a double murder
at New Haven, Ct., on New Year's day. His
first victim was Enoch Sperry, brother of the
the Secretary of State. The maniac chopped
off his head with an axe while he was riding
towards home in a sleigh. The second victim
was Ichabod I'mberfield, a farmer, whom
Sanford killed with an axe in his own house.
The murderer was arrested and committed to
prison.
SHOCKING CASUALTY.—On New Year's night ,
the house of John Cregan, Temperanceville,
Alleghany co., was destroyed by fire, and, hor
rible to relate, two of his children—aged eight
and six years—perished in the flames. The
rest of the family barely escaped with their
lives.

last, was very fully attended—there being
over 200 delegates in attendance, and the ut
most harmony and enthusiasm prevailed in
the body. That veteran and staunch Demo
crat, JANES PATTERSON, Esq., of Little Britain,
presided, and, on taking the chair, made a
very neat little speech, thanking the Conven
tion for the honor conferred upon himP. The
resolutions were strong, and made mention of
the various political topics of the day. The
Convention held its session at Fulton Hall,
and we hope that the next time a Convention
meets there the large room will be more com
fortable—especially at this season of the year.
ger At the Delegate Elections in the Bor
ough of Columbia, instructing resolutions
were passed for Col. JOSEPH B. BAKER, for
Canal Commissioner. This is, doubtless, the
sentiment of the county in reference to this
able and energetic officer. If Col. B. would
accept the nomination, as we stated last week,
no better man in the Commonwealth could be
selected.

' eil, History of the Reign of Philip 11. By William 11.
Prescott. With Portraits, Maps, Plates, he. 2 vols. Octavo.
The reign of the Second, enibrariug the last half
of the sixteenth century, is O. of the most important as
well as interesting portions of our modern history. It is
necessary to glance only at some of the principal events.—
The 11 or of the Netherlands—the model, so to say, of our
own glorious war of the Revolution; the siege of Malta, and
its memorable defense by the Knights ot St. John; the
brithant career of Don John of Austria, the hero of Evan
to; the goixotic adventures of Don Sebastian of Portugal;
the compiest of that by the Duke of Alba; Philip's union
with Mury ut England, and Ilia wars with Elizabeth, with
the Sim) . of the invincible Armada; the Inquisition, with
its tram of woes; the rebellion of the Monitions, and the cruel
manner in Moth it was avenged—these form some of the
prominent topics In the 'foreground of the picture, which
presents a crowd of subordinate details of great interest in
regerd to the character and court of Philip and the institu
tams of Spain—then in the palmy days of her prosperity.
The materiels for this vast theme were to be gathered
from every part of Europe;- and the author has for many
years been collecting them from the archives of different
capitols. The archives of Simancas, In particular, until very
lutely closed against even the native historian, hue been
opened to his researches; and his collections has been fur
ther enriched by MSS. from some of the principal houses
in Spain, the descendants of the great men of the sixteenth
century. Such a colleltlon of original documents has never
before been made for the Illustration of thls period.

"FAIRPORT OF DIRECTORS.--At th, , Annual
itAneefitut of the „neml,urs of the Farmer,' Mutual In
surance-Coumany,- held ut the house of Jacob Leaman,
Innkeeper, in the city 'cd Lancaster. on Saturday, the '29th
day of December. A. 1. 1 , :o:P, the 11.3,1 of Director; sub
mitted the following
111 making out a report of the proceedings of the Board
of Directors the •' Farmers Mutual Insurance Company,"
fie the past year, and a statement of the actual condition
of the Company at this time, it is gratifying to the Direc.
tors to rind that the Company continues gradually to In.
crea,e : and notwithstanding the hisses which hats been
sustained by the company during the current year hare
been unusually great, the taxes necessary to remunerate
those losses hare be•u cheerfully, and with same few ex
reption,, punctually paid. Thus enabling the Directors
to pay all just, and some which they considered unjust,
claims, upon the Company, and leaving a balance of sew.
oral hundred dollars in the Treasury to meet any losses
that may occur in future, as the annexed statement of
the Treasurer's account will show.
The first tire of any magnitude, which occurred during
the year, was the barn sod stable of Abraham Peters. of
Manor township, which was burnt ou the Met day of
March last. The fire broke out in the early part of the
day, but whether it originated by accident or design, has
not been satisfactorily ascertained. The appraisers report.
ed the actual damage to be two thousand four hundred
and seventy dollars, of which sum the company paid
three-fourths, or $1853. The next fire occurred on the
evening of the 24th of July. ivlaen a barn and Its contents,
belonging to the estate of John Bowers, deceased, in West
Ilempdeld township, was struck by lightning, and entire
ly
consumed. The appraisers reported the actual loss to
be, for the barn $lOOO, and fur the contents $5OO, making
an aggregate of $l5OO, three fourths of which, being $1125
was paid by the company. Several small tires occurrvd of
which It is deemed unnecessary to take any special notice
here, its the names of the sufferers and the amount paid
are distinctly set forth n the Treasurer'i , account.
But the company sustained another loss, to which the
Directors advert with a great deal of reluctance, us it
was wholly unexpected, and according to their apprehen
sion, manifestly unjust. In the spring of 1801, the barn
warehouse and other buildings, owned by Michael W.
May, of Conoy township, were destroyed by lire. The build
ings were entered for insurance in the " Farmers' Mutual
Insurance Company.' A difficulty occurred with Mr. May,
in regard to the insurance of the contents of his ware.
house, being a part of his dry goods and grocery store; he
demanding several hundred dollars more than the direc
tors, according to their understanding, and construction
of the By-Laws, felt themselves justified in paying. Final
ly Mr. May commenced a suit against the company, and
soon afterwards deceased. The Directors bearing no more
of this suit, supposed that it had been entirely abandoned;
but sometime last winter, it was revived, and urged to a
trial by the administrator of Sir. May. The Directors eno
ployed able counsel to defend the company, but, contrary
to their expectation, the decision of the Court was against
them, andthey were compelled to pay a larger slam than
Mr. May had ever demanded. This circumstance aug
menled the liabilities of the company, and considerably
increased the amount of tax for the present year. Two
astiessuients have been made during the yearito meet those
liabilities, the greater part of which has been collected.
During the year that is now brought to a close 189 new
policies have been issued, covering property to the amount
of $435,378
And the addition to the old policies amount in the
aggregate to 47,314
Making a total increase of $482,692
During the same period 120 policies have been can
celled, covering property to the amount of
$230,662,
And alterations on other policies, diminish
ing the amount of Insurance, amounts
to 20,210
Making a reduction of.
Which being deducted from the increise
leaves an actual gain of $22'2,816
The whole amount of property now insured by the
Farmer' Mutual Insurance Company, is three million one
hundred and eleven thousand seven hundred and forty
four dollars, (3,111,744.)

1 - ETTER IN REFERENCE TO THE
4 Lands of Go Ridgway Farm and Coal Company.—
Prom George Taylor, E. 1.. Deputy PoltmeAter of Kersey P.
0., Elk county, Pennsylvania
Nisssrts. Envrons:—Being Deputy Postmaster at this place,
frequent inquiries a, made at this office of the quality and
mineral worth of the Ridgn•ay Farm and Agrlvitural Cora
pany's lands. •
These lands lay scattered around this place. To give
description of it, such as any person can rely on, I must
give a description of the lands adjoining, which have been
sold and are eultivated. Ity means of your valuable .•01.
nixing allow me to answer all former bigotries, and I hope
to be troubled by no more letters.
The soil here is a g ood lime ,to-te soil. well adapted to
winter grain, such as wheat and rye: and fur s u mmer grain,
such as oats, early, buckwheat and potatoes, It cannot be
beat. liras, grows well. and it is, literally rspeaking, a
grazing country. as our torosts abound in the best of pas
ture. It Is the best county-for stuck 1 know of in this State.
I think. in time, it will become the second butcher's county
to New York.
In regard to coal—in fact it Is a perfect body of coal—l
know In this neighborhood several good coal mines, aver
aging 4 to 6 feet veins, of the best Bituminous Coal. I
scarcely know of a single farm but what has more or less
coal. On s farm owned by Jacob Taylor, Esq., about a half
mile faun here, a bank was opened last fall which meas
ured 8 feet one way. and is now worked 5 feet deep. How
much deeper It may be I cannot tell, as the bottom has not
been reached. This the case in many 'places in this sec
tion of the county.
It also abounds in the best of Limestone. There is plenty
of Iron Ore found here. I have frequently found the beat
of Iron Ore on the top of the giound. But there never has
been any thorough search made about here. In St. Mary's,
six miles from here, there have been SOPIO veins opened of
from 6 to 9 feet of the host rock ore.
The Timber in this county cannot be loot any place. It
consists of the best of pine. hemlock, cherry, oak, sugar
maple and beech, all of first growth and healthy. The pine
is probably the best in the five counties, and a very certain
business is made by making shingles during the winter
and sending them in the spring to Pittsburg, Cincinnati,
Louisville, &c. One merchant in this village took in eight
hundred thousand shingles in one season. The county, in
fact, bas every facility, and when once the railroads are
finished, you may depend this will become the garden of
Western Pennsylvania. As regards the Company, I know
nothing; but judging fro:n their selection of land, and
from the excitement among the knowing ones, I should
judge it will be of great advantage to the Sto-kholders.—
Land in this county is raising fast, and has advanced from
LSO to 100 per cent. since the Sunbury and Erie Railroad
has been reduced to a certainty. This read once finished
and I pledge you no county in this State will be able to
excel it. GEORGE TAYLOR,
