(Estimated revenues over e xpen ditu res)ft 33,300 06 Front the foregoing statement it would appear, should‘the estimates of receipts and expenditures be correct, and they doubtless approximate the truth. and should nut unforseen casualty recur:that the re venues will at least equal the expenditures of the year. Admitting, however, the correctness of the estimates, it is apparent the State is placed in a con dition no better by the lapse of time. is no material diminution, if any, of the public debt is effected. In deed, even the payment of the annual interest has depended, and will depend on the anticipation of re. values property belonging to the next fiscal year. A system of providing means ki meet the liabilities of the State, which pays no part of the dept. and meets the payment of the annual interest by drafts on a fond raised for the discharge of another duty, and which collects from the people upwards of two millioas dollars .yearly. requires supervision and amendment: A careful revision of the revenge laws of the Commonwealth, increasing the tax on saris- items as will bear without injury an oddities to their present bortheas, with due economy in ibe appropriationk and expenses of governmeat, would not only place the treasury an a sound basis, with regard to the annual payment of the interest, but would also, Watt span for the purpose. crease a sinking fund to meet the amount bow- due and de mandable of the State. - A result of this character would be honorable,* thr-Comassrwealth. and gra tifying to the citizens. Confidence would be mi me diate!), restored to the community, public - credit would be permanently established. and the Treasury relieved of a portion of the public debt. The am ount now demandable is two millions three hundred and twenty-six thousand five hundred and eighteen -dollars and ninety-four cents. When the faith of t the Stale is involved, no time should be lost in adop ting measures to restore its credit. T. Corm a fund for the liquidation of the residue of the publiet debt, is an object not less important than the one just suggested. Pennsylvania should no longer bear the burthens which now oppress her citizens, without. at least, a vigorous and manly effort to relieve herself from her liabilities. To the legislature belongs the duty of devising such means, and enacting such laws. as will best promote the interests of the people, and efforts so laudable wain all times receive the approbation of, and be aided by such suggestions -as may present themselves to the Execotive. A more favorable opportunity May present itself at the present session. than will soon again be altered. Many of the banks of this Slate have given the requisite notice, that they propose to apply for a renewal-of their charters, and I would suggest. should it coincide with your views, the pol icy of exacting from each of these imitations that may come before the legislature. the payment of a certain per centsge on its capital, in addition to the Lazes already assessed on banks by existing laws. A sum raised in this way might form the nucleus of a sinking fund, which, however small, would reg ularly increase in importance and value by the as sistance it might receive from that and other sour ces. The charters of all the banks in the Com monwealth will require renewal; the increased prosperity, population and business of the country, may require additional banking facilities, and du ring each year a small amount email be added to the fund. The investment of the fund thus created. in the purchase of State stocks, (the present reven ue laws of the State bible presented.) lithe interest on stocks purchased. being again invested in the same way, would increase the fond while it dimin ished the debt, null all would appreciate its import unee and consider it with favor. Should oar soar ces Sr revenue become of greater value, as may be reasonably anticipated, large balances over the ex penditutes of the government will accrue to the treasury a used proportion of which could proper ly be added to the fund. - Thus would it increase in triple proportion. until the enormous debt. with which we are encumbered, would be dually extin guished. Whatever may be the views of the leg islature in regard to the plea suggested. his ardent. ly Loped it will distinguish its proceedings by the adoption of means to attain an object so desirable.

The attention of the legislator! will be called to dig abject of the currency in connexion with the Banking institutions of .tbe . state. Thyse institu tions have become so intimately identified with the bowled - or and interests of the citizens, and fOrnish such a portion of the circolating medium, that a necessity Is crested for their proper matragetnent and control, The standard of the value of thinp among civilised nations is conceded to the precious incubi. The constitutional cannier of this government is gold and silver. Whenever the conveniences of trade 411111 business, the encouragement of industry and 'enterprise, or the trowel growth sod develope nients C. the country _require, additional conuter cial facilities. it is the duty of the public functiona ries to be watchful tat the representatives of the precious metals should maintain the standard' val ue. ' The citizen having in possession a note issued by a Bank of the Commonwealth, should beset-are that be holds the equitrateut of gold and silver. In order to obtain this result, care should be ta kes lij the . Legialattni in the grants of authority to these corporations, to prevent them if possible fro* furnishing a less reliable cormery. Banking institutions have long existed among us, and have been, whets properly restricted and judieiouslemen aged, highlreoeducive to the best interims of the people. Their notes. when kept at par value, form a more convenient curieney than the precious mat. alit, are equally ' valuable in all financial concerns, and promote the active industry of the country — . Hence, solvent banks, whose notes are readily con vertible into specie, should be sustained by the Leg islature, while those who fail to keep their Poles Al par, or to redeem them on demand by inflicting in jury and injustice on the community, destroy confi dence, and forfeit our favorable consideration. In judging of the alumna of banking capital.ne. cessary for the wants of the community, a sound and healthful state of business and trade afford the best and safest criterion. Thete institutions are better able to meet their liabilities and redeem their notes, in a state of things such as is here alluded tn. than during extraordinary depression or unnat ural excitement. That the increase of banking fa cilities is instrumental in relieving the country to times of commercial distress, is a belief as preva lent as it is unsound. It may postpone the crisis, hale cannot afford re lief. Tge..aegive healthful industry or the country, and not the wants of individuals. should govern the issues of the banks.• In periods of great commer cial and manufacturing prosperity, an inflation of the currency beymid the wants of sound. whole some trade, leads to unwise, and of ten rainious speculation. In short, the amount of the circulat ing medium should depend on the actual and nut , the imaginary wants of the country. From these observations, the Legislature will readily perceive , that any extraordinary increase of banking capital. , in the present depressed condition of trade, is riot consistent with my views of the general welfare. i The *alio' of a bank, as near as practicable to the centre of its business operations. is a mailer of some manna ' t o the community, and should die legislature in its .examination of the applications for the re-charter of any institution now existing, be satisfied that die location of the existing bank is unsuited to the convenience of die business portion of the citizens Cut who* benefit it was estab.ished, a wise policy, would dictate a refusal to re-char ter, and the establishment-of a new institution with the same amount of capital, at a place more advan tageous to the citizens. I .. The old and well established banking institutions. whose credit and solvency are undoubted, and where the wants -of the community in which they are located require it, sheuld receive a renewal of I their .charters; but in no instance ought a charter to be reared. until a complete,a thorough exam- natien of the affairs of the institution, and a full statement of its business. with satisfactory evidence of the inewtfide value of iyi assent, shall have con vinced a committee appointed for that purpose, of 1 its entire solreoey and ability to redeem all its lia bilities.

The 'several laws in force to prevent the use and circulation of Dotes of a. teas denomination than live dollars. 'do - not appear to have produced the re sult intended. , A large portion of the' currency of the state consi sts of notes of a lower denomination, many of them spurious and defaced, issued by for eign Institutions, - about whose solvency no knowl edge can be possessed by the citizens. This i;jr4 cattalos. while it inflicts injury oi the community. is in direct contravention of the express terms of the law. As it is manifest, the existing laws will not reme dy the evil, it is suggested, that an set 'preventing, under severe penalties. the banks and brokers deal ing in money, from receiving ad deposit' exchang- , ,ing, or paying the same from their counters, would 'have a beneficial efihet in driving these notes from 1 circulation. Should the circulation of notes of a I less denomination titan five dollars be desirable, it I is and titely to be preferred that they should be *au- , ed by our state banks. whose solvency is known, rather than foster a circulation issued by await u lion., whose abilities to redeem them' may be uncertain. With these slight modifications of oar present sys tem, taking care that no unnecessary and unadvised ittegesseed banking capital be made, and in all ca ses either of.new institutions, or the renewal of , those now existing; that their solvency should be , undoubted, and that no danger to the citizens will' arise from these grants of power, I sboald deed' it 1 ngbt to leave the present policy in relation to these corporations as it has been tasiamined in former years.

The acquisition of ,Devi Mexico sad, taliforn ii . pres,ents again in the National Congress the impor- Itant question of the extension or non .extension of human slavery. At Vie ad/trios of the national Constitution, the longer comuntance of what was then considered an evil; was strongly agitated, and resulted in a conaprcunixe.penitittiog it in the States rebete at' that time: it etisted— The constitution being submitted to the States, was adopted with others" by Pennsylvania, and after the lapse of more titan. halt a century, it remains the-great fundamen tal law of the Union. To preserve and perpetuate it., toracknowledge -Us supremacy. to maintain and defend its principles, and to submit to its chuipro. cases, are duties to which every citizen is pledged, whatever his opinions in relation to questions aris ing under it. This fundamental law trecognizes the right to hold staves in tbe'states which were , parties to the compact, but iksnakes no Rtrtheracknowledgement. It bears on its plain and eipressive page no agree. ment. express or Implied, for the further extension of human slavery. That this national wrong his been extended with the progress of population is opt au argument in faior of Rs justice, its constitution al nett, or of the salutary effects it has produced in the territories where it has been admitted. Shall it be still Cunha extended I To the Congress of the United States belongs the authority to seule this important question. Before it shall hare been detenntned ; the opinions of our citizens on the subject should be fully and distinctly made , known. through their public functionaries, to the confeder ate States. The right to instruct our Senator*, and request the Representatives in the National Coun cils, ought not to be used on light and trivial occa skins, while on subjects gravely alieellag the well being of the country, it becomes a duty which no one will venture to• decline. In the exercises of this admitted right, the Legislature.will nod the oppor tunity to express in terms not to be mistaken the position which is held by Pennsylvania on this grave and nimnentuous question.
