GOVERNOR'S MESSAGE. ntoM nn.*T r.i.K a monument as would i'o credit to the State, hnd honor to the living and the dead, cannot ta' huilt for a le.-s sum than thirty thousand ilollais If the Legislature should coucui in that opinion, the appropriation should he in creased accordingly. The report of the Slute Lihrarian will in f trin yon of the progress made in tht catalogue authorized hy the Legislature, and thegenerai condition of the Liharary, which has grown to : he an institution that deserves your fostering care. It would commend to your attention | the suggestions of the Librarian. The report of the Attorney General, which i will he laid before yon, will exhibit the opera tions of the Law Department of the govern ment, for the past year. The art of the 21st of April, I Ho7, which requires the Attorney ; General to keep nti office at llarrisburg, and ! whieh provides that all debts due to the Com monwealth, shall be collected by that officer, has proved to be a highly beneficial enactment. Under its provisions large sums are saved, which were formerly paid for commissions and counsel fees. And the improved state ot our finances is in no inconsiderable degree owing to the prompt manner in wliich outstand ing claims are col.ected aud paid into the state Treasury. The Adjutant General's report, which will b laid before yon, will show in detail the present condition of the Military Department. I would respectfully call the attention of the Legislature to the recommendations of that officer. The militia law of 1858, has not been fully tested ; but it is believed to be, in the main, an improvement on the laws in force at the time of its passage. One of its best features, and one that should be strictly enforced, is that the system is self-supporting In no con tingency should that department be a charge upon the public Treasury, in time of peace. In referring the attention of the Legislature to the claborute reports of the Auditor Gen eral and State Treasurer, relating to the finan ces of the State, which will be laid before you, 1 cannot refrain from giving expression to my views on the importance of a change in the • nnxte of keeping and disbursing the public moneys. The State Treasurer receives and disburses ! between four and five millions of dollars annual- ) ly ; and it not frequently happens that there is j a balance in the Treasury exceeding one million ! of dollars. The bond of the Treasurer is but for eighty thousand dollars He deposits the : money of the State wherever he pleases, and j it is paid exclusively on his own check. The monthly settlements with the Auditor General afford some security that the funds of the Com monwealth will not be misapplied ; but it is entirely inadequate to the complete protection of the public interests. Until the State shall adopt a different system for the collection, safe keeping and disburse- | ment of her revenues, the money on hand must be kept either in the Treasury vault or deposit ed with the banking institutions in the State. For many years the latter mode has been adopted. I respectfully recommend the pro ; visLn be made by law that no money shall be I deposited in any bank by the state Treasurer 1 without requiring security to be first, given to ; the Commonwealth, for the re-payment of the sums deposited—that all checks issm d by the j state Treasurer shall be countersigned by the 1 Auditor General, before they are used—and that daily accounts of the moneys received and ) paid shall be kept in the office of the Auditor General, as well as in the Treasury Depart ment The commissioners appointed to revise the , the criminal code of this Commonwealth, are i progressing with the duties of their appoint ment, and will report the revised code before ' the adjournment of the Legislature. The various charitable and reformatory insti- | tutions, which have heretofore received pccuni I nry assistance from the state, such as the state i Lunatic hospital, at llarrisburg—the Western I Pennsylvania hospital, at Pittsburg—the j Houses of Refuge, at Philadelphia and Pitts burg—the Pennsylvania Training school for idiotic and feeble-minded children—the asylums for the blind and deaf and dumb, at Philadel phia—the Northern Home for friendless child ren, ut Philadelphia—l recommend to your fostering aid and care. The annual reports exhibiting a detail of the operations of these noble and excellent charities, during the past year, will be laid before you. I cannot recom mend appropriations to charitable associations of a purely local character, however praise worthy the objects and motives of their found ers aud supporters, or however useful they inay be to their particular localities. The present condition of the revenues of the General Government, demonstrates the urgent necessity of increased duties upon foreign im portations. The people of Pennsylvania have ever taken a lively interest in the proper ad justment of a tariff ; and they have, with singu lar unanimity, at all times, favored such an as sessment of duties, as would not only produce revenue, but furnish the lurgest incidental pro tection to the great mineral, manufacturing, aud industrial iuterests of the country. Had their voice hitherto been more potential in the councils of the nation, it is no longer proble matical that much of the pecuniary distress, lately experienced by all classes and conditions of business men, might have been to a great extent averted. The necessities of the gov ernment and the people now, alike, demand a change—an increase of duties—and I take great pleasure in endorsing the views of the President of the United States as expressed in his,last annual message, relative to the change pro|>osed. His advocacy of specific duties on all " commodities which are usually sold by weight, or by measure, and which from their nature are of equal or of uearly equal value, — inch as iron, of different classes, raw sugar, and foregin wines and spirits," lias met with a hearty response from tlio great body of the jieople of this state. It is to be hoped that this his views on this question will be favora bly regarded by Congress, and that the action of the Federal Government mav correspond with the suggestions of the President. When I was called upon to assume trie gub ernatorial chair, nearly one year ago, in defer euce to public opinion, my own feelings, after a rapid review of events in Kansas, I stated, that "to the people of Pennsylvania the ad mission of a uew state into the Union—into that Co federaey of which she is a member must be at all times a subject of high interest. Anil believe I express their sentiments, as well as my own, iu declaring that all the quali fied electors of a Territory should have a full and fair opportunity to participate in selecting delegates to form a Constitution preparatory to admission as a state, and, if desired by them they should also lie allowed an unqualified right Hj vote upon such Constitution after framed." | Subsequent events have confirmed me in these sentiments. The deplorable disputes in j the first session of the present Congress,— the popular excitement resulting from those disputes, together with other proceedings iu nature tovel and alarming, would nil hav< been averted, had the people been secured in " the unqualified right" to vote upon their domestic institutions. I regret to be compelled to r-ay, that, under various pretences, this sacred frauchi.-c has been virtually withheld from thein. When they refused to accept, the Lecompton Constitution, made for them by delegates representing the minority, they were I explicitly denied the privilege of making their own Constitution, unless upon a condition noi i previously exacted If they accepted the Lecompton Constitution, they entered the sisterhood of states at once, with a population less than one half of the existing ratio of Con gressional representation ; but, if they refustd J that Constitution, they would not be admitted into the Union, with the Constitution of their choice, until they were ready to show, by a formal census, that tliev had attained a popula tion equal to that ratio. The results have be come historical. The last expressive vote of the people of 1 Kansas against the aet of Congress, commonly known as the English bill, has for a time ar- j rested Congressional intervention. Peace has ! resulted alone from tlie votes of the people, not j from the suggestion of outside influences. Bat, during the angry feelings which this contro- ' versy has aroused, the theory lias been started, and insisted upon, that it will henceforward l>e the duty of Congress to protect slavery in the territories, if the people of the territories i shall fail to do so. The warrant for this cx-| traordinarv assumption is alleged to exist in the decision of the Supreme Court of the Uni ted States, in the case of Dred Scott. Enter taining, as I do, profound reverence for the decisions of that august tribunal, and standing ready to obey them, whenever they are cnunei-, ated, I have yet to be convinced that any such construction can be fairly given to their action in the case referred to. Such a doctrine, no matter how sanctioned, or supported, will shake the pillars of our constitutional fabric. It would compel every territory toelevate pro i perty in slaves above every other description ; of property—and to establish a slave code in j its early municipal regulations ; or else it would ! convert the Congress into a theatre of crimina ! tion and confusion, and till the whole country I with stfife. And all this, without seeming a ! single advantage to the north, or protecting a | single right of the south 1 Regarding myself as fully committed to the ; i doctrine of popular sovereignty in its broadest | sense, I can never subscribe to the theory of j Congressional intervention, as understood and j 1 supported by the opponents of this doctrine. By popular sovereignty, I mean no violation | of the rights of the states —no assault upon j the institutions of the south—no appeal to i sectional prejudices. On the contrary, I re ! gard the doctrine us the embodiment of the popular will in states and Territories, as the t conservator of the rights and the equahtv of states and people—and as the only means by which a vexed and dangerous agitation will be ' satisfactorily and perpetually " settled." A theory equally heretical has becnadvanc- Ipd in another portion of the Union. It has | been held that this government, divided into I free and slave states, as it was framed by out j Revolutionary Fathers, cannot endure—that ' all must become free, or all become slave.— When such a doctrine shall be enforced, the ' Constitution will have been subverted—state sovereignty prostrated—states rights disregard ed, and the liberty of the people destroyed.— ; It should meet an indignant rebr.ki from every I • lover of his country, and the blood-bought right j of the people and the states toself-govi rumi lit Under the various amendments to the Con- I stitution of Pennsylvania, the influence of the i Executive has been greatly reduced by the transfer of patronage from the Governor to j ! the people. This is an accordance with the : principles of self government, but it must bene- i j kuowledgcd that in relieving the Executive j from many serious responsibilities, it has dimin ished his ability to maintain the rights of the state against Federal and other cncrouchnients and has thrown a greater share of responsibili-1 ty upon the people. The extensive patronage ! of the Fed< rai Government, and the large) salaries paid to its officers, iu comparison with ! those of the state, present constant induce- j incuts to our citizens to overlook the state in j the pursuit of more lucrative employments under ' the United states. It is, therefore, the more \ necessary that the people should guaid the ! sovereignty of the state with increasing watch fulness. I'he Constitution of the United states contains the great fundamental principle which should govern its construction on every question respecting the extent of the federal power.— "The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the slates re spectively, or t > the people." It is on this broad platform that every claim of federal power not granted bv the Constitu tion, should be sternly resisted. The tendency to centralization is so great, and the oversliad owing influence of patronage and power so se ductive, that liberty cannot long be preserved without the exercise of sleepless vigilance in enforcing a strict construction of the federal compact. The doctrine of State rights is the doctrine of true liberty. Popnlar sovereignty is the lib-blood of our free institutions, and the palladium of our safety. Every patriotic in ducement to sustain those great principles should be fearlessly held out to our citizens, and every authorized assumption of power should be resisted with unceasing energy and by all constitutional means. Having now discharged the duty imposed on the Executive by the Constitution, I cannot conclude without congraulating you upon the i peculiarly favorable auspices under which you I enter upon the duties of the session of 1851). i Few important subjects of legislation press upon f your attention. Prudence, firmness, fidelity— a watchful regard for the interests of the Com i wealth—a jealous guardianship of her finances ion the pa it of the Government—arc all that arc required, under Providence, to ensure the continuance and increase of our onward I proaperity. Pennsylvania may then, at no re mote period, rejoice in the extinguishment of her public debt—the repeal of her onerous utid burdensome taxes—a fame aud a credit untarnished—a free and popular educational i system—and an industrious and loyal people, properous and happy.
