POLLOCK. ; FELLOW CITIZENS Cus'om sanctions, ami de mands, a brief declaration ot the piinciples and policy to be adop ed and pursued by an Executive about lo assume the functions of that office. Ihe character of our institutions demonstrates the pro priety of such declaration. Ail the just powers ol the Government emanate from the people, ami to them should be communicated the manner in which it is proposed to execute the power confer red. The people are sovereign: and in the exercise < of their sovereignty, they have "ordained and es lablisheJ" a consii'unon lor tire government ol the ba e. That constitution, I have this day, in the i presence of mv tellow citizens, and ol Ilim who is the searcher of hearts—and with humble reliance on His wisdom to direct—sworn to support. Ihe high powers therein delegated to the respective co ordina'e branches of the Government are cl -arly expressed and defined. Side by side wi'h the g a:;t of powers, stands the declaration of the rights I of the people,recognizing the gpneral, grea l and es. I sentia! principles of liberty and free government To guard against the transgression of the powers I delegated; and to preserve forever inviolate the rights, liberties, and privileges ol ihe ciizen, thu- J declared, will be both a du'y and a [Measure, in j fu.'l harmony with every sentiment of my heart, ev | ery impulse of my nature. Republican institutions are the pride, and justly ; I the glory of our country. To enjoy them is our j privilege, to maintain them our duty. Civil and teligious liberty—freedom ol speech, and ot the press, tiie rights of conscience, and fieedomof wor kup—are the birthright and boast ol the American Ci i/.ens. No royal edict, no pontifical decree, can j restrain or destroy diem la the enjoyment of these ! blessing*, the rich arid the poor, the high and the j !ow. meet together—the Constitution, in its full j scope and ample development, shieldsand protects ; Lcm all. When these rights are assailed, these j I privileges endangered, ci her by mad ambition, or : I by influences foreign to the true interests ot the I V I oa'ion, anJ at war with love of country—that rio- j I bie impulse ol the American heart, which prompts | I i:| o revere home and native land as sacred objects j I 01 affections—it is then the ballot-box in i's om I upoience. speaking in thunder tones the will ol the I People, tebukes the w org, and vindicates the ■ treedmn of ihe rnan— the independence of die citi- I Z?

JL'-C . By these ocr •istjtirtijns s.:J THE BRADFORD REPORTER privileges can, and will be preserved. Ignorance is not die mother of patroiism, or of Republics. It is the enemy and destroyer of both. Education, in its enlightening, elevating and reforming influences in the lull power of its beniiicent results, should be encouraged by the State. Nol that mere inteliec tual culture that leaves the mind a moral waste, un. fit to understand the duties of the man or citizen, but that higher education, founded upon, directed, and controlled by sound anil elevated moral prin ciple—that recognizes the Bible as the foundation of true knowledge, as the text book alike of ;he child and the American Statesman, and as the great charter and bulwark of civil and religious freedom. The knowledge thus acquired is the power con servative of State and Nations; inure potent in its energy to uphold the institutions of freedom and the rights of man, than armies and navies in their proudest strength. The framers of our Constitution understood this, arid wisely provided for theesiabhshment ol schools and the " protection of the arts and sciences, in one or more seminaries of learning," that the advan'a ges ol education might be enjoyed by all. To improve the efficiency of this system, not on ly by perfecting our common schools, but by en couraging and aiding " one or more" higher liter ary insti'uiions, in which teachers can be trained and qualified ; and to increase the land appropria ted to educational purposes, are objects which will at all times receive my willing approval. Money liberally, yei wisely, expended in die pursuit and picmotiori ol knowledge is true economy. The in tegrity of ihis system and its fund must be preserv ed No division of this fund for political or sec'a rian purposes should ever be made or attempted. To divide is to destroy. Party and sectari an jealousies would be engendered ; the unity and harmony of the system destroyed, and its noble ob jects frustrated anil Jefeated Bigotry might re- I joke, patroiism would weep over such a result. In the performance of the du'tes now devolved 1 upon me, it will be my desire to aid, by all con- j sti'U ionalartd legal means, the development of the i resources of the State; and tc encourage and pro : mote her agricultural, mining, manufacturing anJ ' commercial interests. A kind Providence has be slowed upon u*. with a libernl hand, all the e!e --: tnents ol wealth and greatness Our valleys and I plains offer their fettile soil to the ploughshare of ; the husbandman, and reward with their rich pro* I duciions his honorable toil. Our inexhau*tab!e coal 1 fields; our ricli iron deposits; limestone every-J ! Where,,and just where most required; the inter- ; miuable forest, and our rushing streams; all invite j the energy and etrerpri*e of our citizens to the de- j | velopmenl of their treasures, and promise a rich reward to their labors. The smoke ofour furnaces | —the ciash of our rolling mill; the hum of the spindle; and the din of the workshop, attest the j energy and manufacturing skill of our people; arid whilst the plough, the loom and the anvil, unite in 1 the productions of wealth, commerce, by herthous and avenues, is bearing their valuable and abun dant products to our marts of trade Amidst all ' these great interests, and their rapid and almost ro mantic development, it is a matter of congra'ula tion that agriculture, in its various departments, has awakened public attention to its importance, and claimed and received from science the liibute of its aid. Pennsylvania, so deeply interested in the ' success of her agricultural industry, cannot be in different to the laudable efforts now m iking to per fect and advance the first, arid noblest pursuit ol i man. This, and all other branches of industry, should receive the fosteiit-g care arid encourage ment of the government. The interests of our great commercial emporium 1 should receive the considerate attention olthe Leg islature. Her manufactures, trade and commerce, are of great and increasing importance, and Phila delphia, as consolidated in population, wealth, en terpri-e arid intelligence, ranks and rivals the first cities of the Union. To make her the fiist among the cities of our country, should be t fie pride of ev ery l'eimsylf anian. Her interests are so identified with the interests ol the State, that they cannot be i separated wi houl ii jury to bo h A prudent arid J liberal system of legislation, appropriate to her real wants, would promote her own and the interest of the Commonwealth. A sound currency is essential to the prosperity ol a commercial people. AM classes of sncie'y, and every branch of industry, in their varied interests and economical relations, are interested in securing and maintaining a safe ciiculaiirtg medium. To accompln-h this result, wise and prudent legislation is necessary. The creation of a wefl regulated, and careful guarded sys'ern ol banking, is not only sound policy, but beneficial to the legitimate trade and commerce of the country ; and aids in devel oping her great natural and industrial resources.— Our present system of banking,with the limita ions, restrictions and liabilities, individual or otherwise, imposed by law on these institutions, has become a settled policy of the S ate. The checks and guards thrown around them should not be lessen ed or removed Their own safety, and the securi ty ol the public, require their continuance. Notice of numerous intended applications to the Legi-la uie for new banks, and increase ol bank ing capital and savings institutions, has been giv en as required by the constitution. Without desi ting to is?urne a hostile attitude towards all banks, the propriety of inooiporating all that may be call ed lor, under the noticp given, can not be justified or defended. The extravagant, improper or unrea sonable increase ol banks and banking capital, is not demanded by the wuina of the community, aud w ill not, arid cannot be sanctioned by the Ex ecutive. The present commercial and financial embarrassment of the country ; the depressed state of tiade ; all past experience, and the more recent experience ot some ol our sister States, as seen in their ruined banks and depreciated currency, de monstrate the necessity ol legislating cautiously and prudently on this subject. The number of banks, and consequently the a.mojt;' of ba.'ik.ng rspi'i! sheufd be h-TBdcJ '•&) PUBLISHED EVERY SATURDAY AT TOIVAXDA, R "REGARDLESS OF DENUNCIATION FROM ANV QUARTER." t and regarded by, the proper demands of active and healthy trade, and the actual bustners wan's and necessities of the communi y. This policy, hon estly insisted upon and pursued, would proiect the country from the disastrous consequences ol im provident banking. An extraouiinary and unne cessary increase of the banks and banking facilities in seasons of great general prosperity, leads to ex travagant and ruinous speculation. Such incieace in limes ot commercial distress, aggravates and prolong* the evils it was designed to remedy.— Eu'ertaining these views I will not hesitate to sanction the re chartering of old and solvent banks, which by prudent and careful management and an honest adherence to the legitimate pu-poses ol their creation, have merited and tc reived the con fidence of the public. Nor will 1 refuse to sanction the incorporation ol new banks, when indispensa bly necessary and clearly demanded by the actual wants and interests of the community in which ,hey may be located. To no other, and under no other circumstances, can 1 yield tho Executive consent. To promote the welfare and prospeiity of the Commonwealth, by regulating and increasing tier finances, economizing her resources, maintaining her cie.fit, reducing tier debt, arid relieving her people from oppressive taxation, will be the ob jects of my anxiouj desire ; and to the accomplish ment of which every energy of mv administration will be ilireeted. The public debt, now exceeding forty millions of dollars, and the annual taxation necessary to meet the payment ot its interest, se riously affects the great industrial interests o! the S'ate; drive labor and capital from the Common wealth ; prevent the extension and completion ot her noble system of education, and the prosecu tion of those laudable schemes of benevolence, which at once benefit, dignity and adorn a free and enlightened people. Every consideration ol State pride, every motive of interest, require its reduc ion and speedy liqui dation, by every available and practicable means. To secure this object, ligid economy in eveiy de partment of the government; retrenchment in the public expenditures; strict accountability in all the receiving and disbursing offices of the Common wealth; and an honest and faithful discharge of du'y by all her agents, would contribute much, and also save millions to the Treasury. Created by the state, in the prosecution and man agement of her sjstem ol internal improvements— a system characterized by "prodigality, extrava gance arid corrupt political favoritism"—the sale of these improvemenis,of at least of the " main line," as a means of reducing this debt, lessening tax ation, and saving our tinanci il credit, has for many years occupied the attention of the people, and their representatives. Bills for die sale of the main line have been passeJ by ditee different Legisla tures, two of which were approved by (tie the Governors then in office. The people, on the question being submitted to them in 1814, decided by a large majority, in favor ol the sale; and ye, these works, from the detective character of die law authorizing the sale, ihc restrictions contained in them, and from odier causes, remain unsold.— Public sentiment, founded on economical, moral political considerations, still demands, and the public wellare still requires, their sale. The consideration to be paid, the mode, terms and conditions of the sale, ought to be carefully considered. Just and liberal inducements should be oflered to purchasers; whilst at the same lime the people should be protected against wrong and imposition By avoiding the errois of former legislation, a sale on terms favorable to the it-late, and beneficial to the puichaser may be secured. It is vain to hope tor a reduction ol the debt, and relief Iroin taxation, without a sale of the whole ot part ofour public improvement. Incumbered with debt, and taxed to support a system, the manage ment of whicn has been matked by extravagance, expenditure, fraudulent speculation, and a reckles g disregard of public interests, the people demand relief and release from the burdens. The press and the ballot box have declared the popular will on this subject, and that will should be obeyed.— Duiy, and a conviction of its propriety, willpromp me to give a cordial support to the accomplishuieiq of this object. In this connection, and whether a sale of ail o, any of the public improvements be effected or not, the abolition or reorganization of the Board ofUana' Commissioners, and the substcu ion ot some othe r efficient and responsible system of management, are subjects worthy of consideration. Eveiy measure of reform in this regard, calculated to in. ciease the efficiency and responsibility of the su pervisory power; protect the interests of the S me. and correct the real or alleged of the present system, will receive my approval The people having in ihe lectnil election decided against the passage of a law prohibi ing the man ufacture and sale of spirituous liquors, it will be come the duly of the iegi.-!aiure and Executive to consider what other legislation may be necessary to control and correct the evils ol intemperance.— Our present license system, although highly penal, and corrective of many abuses, is s id defective The facility with which licenses are obtained lor the sale of tnalt anJ other liquors, is an evil thai demands arelorm. The number ofplacesin which j these are sold, should be limited by law; and no j license granted unless by the Cour'S, and in the j manner now required in the case pfpublic inns and taverns; and subject to the same regulations, re- | strictions sud penalties. The desecration ot the Sabbath by a traffic so frui ful ol evil, and so demoralizing in its results, is . in direct opposition to the law of God, and the moral sentiment of the people; and is a reproach ; to the age in which we live. A stringent and com prehensive law, remedial in i s provisions, and vindicating the great law of the Sabbath, in it 6 physical and moral relations to man, is required, nol only by the moral sense of conn; unity, bu would be justified by every senumentof humanity every consideration of phrfanthrophy. every tm.

The history of intemperance is written in tears and blood.— Pauperism, taxation and crime follow in its train A remedy should be applied; and public senti merit, with the full loice of its motal sanction, w.lj approve all prudent and constitutional legislation on this subject. The pardoning power—the harmonious blending of mercy and justice m our Constitution—will be exercised with a just regard to both these importan, principles. With every desire to extend mercy to the unfortunate and repentant transgressor, justice in her stern demands, will not be oveilooked by the pardon of the vicious and hardened criminal.— This power has been conferred on the Executive, not to ovenlnow the administration of justice, bu, to aid and promote it. It should be exercised wi h great caution, and only upon the most satisfactory assurance that it is due lo die condemnm-d, and th u the rights and security ol the public will no 1 be prejudiced by 'he act. To prevent the abuses o 1 this power, and to piotect the Executive from im position, notice of the in-ended application should be published in the city or country where the tiia' and conviction took place. Experience has demonstrated the impolicy oj subscriptions by muncipal corporations, to the stock of railroad companies. This is especially true in relation to county sub-criptioiis. The practice should be avoided, or at least not encouraged by tat are legislation. Legislation, so far as practicable, should be gen eral and unilorm. L-HM! and special legisla ion ought to be discouraged, when the object can b e obtained by genera! laws. Its tendency is perni cious ; and general principles, and public good, are often sacrificed lo secure personal and piivate benefi's. "Omnibus legislation" being imprope in itself and demoralizing in its influence, can no 3 t receive my sanction. Tne views and practice oj my immediate predecessor OR this subject, meet my cordial approval. Pennsylvania occupying as she does, an impor> taut and proud position in the sister hood of States can not be indifferent to tbe policy and acts of the National Government. Her voice, potential for good in other days, ought not to be disregarded now. Devoted lo the Constitution and the Union —as she was the first lo sanction, she will be the last to endanger the one, or to violate the other Regarding with jealous caro the rights of her sister S'ates, she will be ever reaJy to defend her own.— The blood ol her sons poured out on the many bat tie fields ol the Revolution, attest her devotion, to tiie great principles of American freedom—the centre tru h of American republicanism. To the Constitution in ad its integrity; to the Union in its strength and harmony ; to the rnaimainance in its purity, of the faith and honor ol our couutiy Penn sylvania now is, and always has been pledged—a pledge never violated, ami nol to be violated until patriotism ceases to be a virtue, and liberty to be known only as a name. Enter'aining these sentiments, and actuated by an exclusive d*-si;e to promote the peace, harmony am! welfare ot our beloved country, the recent ac ion of the National Congress and Executive, in (repealing a solemn compromise, only less sacred in public estimation than the Constitution itsell— thus attempting to extend the institution of do. mestie slavery in the territorial domain of the na tion, violating the plighted faith arid honor of the country, arousing sectional jealousies, and renew ing the agita'ion of vexed and distracting ques tions—has received from the people of our own and odier States o! the Union, their stern and merited rebuke. With no desire to restiain the full and entire con* s itutional rights ot Ihe State; nor lo inteifere di recdy or indirectly with their domestic instiiutionsi the people of Pennsylvania, in view of the repeal of ihe Missouii Compromise, the principle involv ed in it, and the consequences, resulting from it, matked already by fraud, violence, and strife; have re aliirrned their opposition to the extension of slavery into terii'ory now Iree, and renewed thei r pledge " to the doctrines of the act oi 1780, which lelieved us by cons itutional means Irom agrievou* social evil; to the gtcat ordinance ol 1767, in its lull scope and ail its benificent principles; lo the protection of the personal rights of every human being tinder the Constitution of Pennsylvania, and the United S a es, by maintaining inviolate the tiial by jury, and the writ of habeas corpus ; to the asseition ot the due rights of Ihe Nor li, as well, HS of she S rub, and to ihe integrity of the Union.'
