capital, exacted by the last Legislature in the grant,

pubbc debt, has resulted in securing to that object
* sum exceeding one hundred tboqsand dollars.—
while this tax should not be increased to en extent

an unfair equivalent for the privileges conferred;
and should therefore' continue to be imposed as a
legitimate source of revenue.
The laws intended to prevent the circulation of
all noes of less denomination than, five dollars
are practically disregarded by the citizens. In a
ge vemrner t founded in popular opinion, experience
would teach the impolicy of continuing in force,
statutory provisions which are generally inopera.:
r i v e This violation, with impunity, of laws how
ever nnirnponant, will lead to a disregard of other;
indispensable to the security of society. . It is, in
deed, to be regretted:that this circulation has not
been prevented, as much evil has been experien.,
cad by the community from the reception of this
irresponsible paper. The amount in circulation
within the State, supplied by institutions of adjoin
ing States, is estimated at not-less than fi ve million
of dollars and is valueless, except in localities near
the Banks by which it is issued. To the extent of
circulatioq, the constitutional currency and the

are displaced. The solvency of the institutions is

Pn endeavouring to eradicate an acknowledged
evil, the pactical Statesman will frequently find a
`necessity for yielding to popular inclination and
will consult the welfare of his constituents-by striv

alleged, the business operations of the community
require a circulating medium, other than gold and

laws, would not be open to the objections of the

So fully were the views of the 'executive - expressed

here, as embracing his present sentiments thereon,
would appear to be sufficient.
The dissemination among the people of informa

regarded as a measure of sound wisdom,and should
be shackled by no unnecessary exactions. •To give
to the citizens of one section of a c..onmon country,
a correct knowledge of the wants, the .opinions. and
general condition of flier, people of other 'portions
thereof, should be the aidi of all wise legislation on
the supjeot. Nothing would tend more strongly to
dissipate section - al jealousies and diiiikes, and to
outtalk' sentiments of neighborly kindness, every
part of this great confederacy. Intercourse, whether
prodoced a by the agency of Railfeads or Of Telegraph ;
by personal or written communications; is an agent
to heal dissentions, and to foster social charities.
more potent than djitional laws. To tax beyond the'
necessities oj government the intercourse of our cit.
izens;creates a barrier to the dissemination of know!-
edge r and assists in estranging the affections of
the different portions of the Republic. In thin view
of the subject the Roles sf Postage charged by the
National Government, becomes a question of deep
importance, end sound wisdom would dictate a re
ductton of present charges,
It cannot fail to be perceived that the observation
in relation to postage, as connected with national
intercourse, applies with equal force to improve
ments in the mode of travel between remote sections
of the country. Whatever facilitates free commu
nications among the cifizeus,.strengthens the unity
of government. Whether from theebaracter of the
country and the nature of its surface, it is practica
ble to construct a great national thoroughfare from
the Mississippi tothe Pacific Ocean, has not been
fully ascertained; but it must be evident, that such
an improvement would be of inestimable value to
every portion of the Union. In addition to the op.,
portuniues it would afford of an interchange of hos
pitalities between the people of remote sections, it
would not fail to be loaded with a trade, as profit
able to the country, as it would be important to duff
erent localities.. To Pennsylvania, its benefits can
scarcely be imagined. The improvements al•
ready made,-and those in progress in. this State, con
necting with the Public Works of other States, will
soon form one unbroken chain of communication
from the Atlantic to the Mis s issippi. Were this gi
gantic work i completed, no man caa estimate the
solid. and sAcial advantages which must ensue to
every section of country united therewith; and in
no place would its salutary results be more effectu
al, than Within our own borders. The subject is,
eminently worthy the serious attention of the Leg
-islat u re.
- In a faithful adherence to-the Natifinal Constitu
tion, as the same has been expounded by the sages
and Patriots of other days, the people of Penniylva
nia rely forthe perpetuation of their political, so
cialen d Jeligious liberty. Although in its provisions
may be found the acknowledgement of principles
they do not approve, it is esteemed by them ai the
fundamental law of the country, and they reverence
it as the consumation of wisdom and patriotism,de
vot ed to the general welfare. When sectional in
terests and jealousies contend for supremacy, and
sectional' rights are to be 'determined ; when ques
tions between !States are controverted, and disregard
of national laws is manifested in peace and war, in
prosperity and adversity; in foreign or domestic
dfficulties ; the citizen* of Pennsylvania turn with
abiding confidence to the National Constitution.—
Neither the thirst for power. nor the phrenzyof p ir
ty, nor the prostration of their pew:ilia, interests,
.can shake their allegiance to the National Govern
ment, or raise with them the traitor cry ofdironion.
The sentiments expressed, and the language used
on the subjeCt, by the Father of his Country, are
I so appropriate to the period in which see lire, that
I have deemed it proper to call your attention to
the following:brief extract from his farewell address:
' "The unity of governusent which constitutes you
one people, is also dear to you. It is justly so ; for
it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real inde
pendence; the support of trauquility at home; your
peace abroad ; of your safety ; of your prospenty;
of that very liberty which you so3iighly prise. But
as it is easy to foresee, that, from' different causes
and from different quarters, much pains will be ta
ken. inany'artifiees ectiproyed. to weaken in your
minds the conviction of this truth ; as this is the
point of your political fortress, against which the
batteries of infernal and external enemies will be
most consa.intly and actively (though often covertly
And insidotiusly) directed ;—it is of infinite moment
that you should properly estimate the immense val
ue of your national union to your coltecfive and in-'
dividual happiness; that you should cherish a cow
dull. habitual, and immovable attachment to it, ac
customing yourself to think and speak of it as the
palladium of your political safety and prosperity;
watching for its preservation with jealous anxict .
discountenancing whatever may suggest even a sus
picion that it can, in any event, be abandoned; and
indignantly frowning upon the first dawning of
every attempt to alieniate any portion of our coun
try from the rest, or to enfeeble the sacred ties
which now link together the various parts."
Gentlemen :—lii the performance of a constito
tional.obligation, the measures deemed necessary
for your consideration, have been stated as concise
ly a. their importance and nature would permit.
To the representatives of the people attaches the
duty of enacting such tares as the welfare of our coa
-1 stituents may require. and to their care and deliber
ate action are eheerfully confided the safety, honor,
and prosperity of the Commonwealth.

Both branches of the legislature convened yes
ter, every member presert. In the House, the con
test among the Democratic members for Speaker
was between 3. S. M'Cststosrr of Clarion, Dr. W-
Cusroar of Allegheny and Hon. J .M. Porrsa of
Northampton. The choice in caucus fell on M'-
Calmont; both he ‘and Dr. M'Clintock distanced the
Kickapoo candidate on the first - ballot, who by the
by was exceedingly weak, having no mere than
9 votes at:anytime. Mr. M'Calmout_was elected by
the united votes orthe Democratic pasty and made
a very neat and. appropriate speech in return. He
is a sterling yonng man, and will make an excel
lent speaker. Col. William Jack was re elected
Clerk, and Mr. John Piatt of Lycoming comity
Sergeant-at-Arms. The democracy of the House
are moving on harmoniously, and we may eplietty
expect that they will be able to accomplish good
resale,.
The Senate does not present such unity of se
non or harmony of feeling. Mr. Best refused to
join the Democratic caucus for the nomination of
officers-..0r Co vote for the nominee for Speaker.—
He withheld his vote on every ballet to the last,
and then east it for five successive ballots for dif
ferent Democratic members, just so as to prevent
Mr. Brawley the democratic pond:tee from being
elected. On the sixth ballot the whigs toted, to a
man, for Valentine Beet, and Mr. Best, having with
held his vote, cast it for himself and was elected.
Ile was conducted to the chair amid a torrent of
hisses and yowls that fairly shook the House.—

It is confidently said that the arrangement for his
purchase and transfer to the Whig party was con
summated more than three weeks ago. What the
consideration is, 'is not known nor does it elicit
much enquiry. It is evidently but a mere pittance
as he is of too small calibre, and worthless material
to command much of a price. Tscrstsztt.
