Governor's Message.
FROM FIRST PAGE,
snbjeet which l>a9 hitherto, in no inconsidera
ble degree, attracted the attention of the
Nation, and which, from the nature and ex
tent of the discussions in Congress, has been
productive of much crimination and recrimina
tion between the various sections of our com
mon country. Popular Sovereignty having
finally prevailed, in the full, free and fair ad
option of the fundamental law of the Territory
according to the wishes of the people, this
vexed and dangerous question, in that Terri
tory, may now considered as satisfactorily and
perpetually settled.
Copies of the correspondence between the
Governor of Virginia and the Governor of
Pennsylvania, on the subject of the recent
outrage at Harper's Ferry, are herewith trans
mitted to the Legislature. The letter address
ed by the Governor of Virginia to the Gover
nor of Pennsylvania, was missent to Harrison
burg, Virginia, and hence was not received un
-lil the first day of December, oue day before
the execution of John Brown ; and, therefore
it was impossible to reply to it. by mail, in
time to reach the Governor of Virginia before
the execution. The answer was consequently
sent by telegraph, which will accouut for its
brevity and seutentious character.
The recent seizure of the public property
of the United States at Harper's Ferry, and
the invasion of the State of Virginia, by a
small band of desperadoes, with an intention
to excite the slave population to insurrection,
have drawn attention to the dangers which
beset our federal relations. It is a source of
satisfaction to know that the authorities of
Virginia possessed the means and the deter
mination to punish offenders with promptness
and justice ; —that the military force of the
United States was a power of immediately
available to aid in putting down the outbreak
against the public peace ; —that the slave pop
ulation were contented with their condition,
and nnwilling to unite with disorderly white
men in acts of treason'and murder ; —and that
the great masses of the people have no sym
pathy, whatever, with any attack upon the
rights and institutions of any of the States,
and have a deep and abiding devotion to our
great and glorious Union. To us, as Penn
sylvauians, it is gratifying to believe that the
citizens of this Commonwealth have not, in
any manner, participated in this uulawful pro
ceedings, and to know that when some of the
guilty perpetrators were arrested, withiD our
jurisdiction, they were promptly surrendered
to the justice of the offended and injured
State.
The several States of this Uuion are in
dependent, except so far as they have granted
certain enumerated powers to the Federal
Government. In cases not provided for in
Federal Constitution, the several States, in
their relations to each other, ought to be gov
erned by the principles which regulate the con
duct of civilized nations. These principles,
forbid, in all nations, "every evil practice
tending to excite disturbance iu another
State }" and are founded on the maxim, that
"different nations ought, in time of peace, to
do oue another all the good they can, without
prejudicing their real interests." This maxim,
recognized by all civilized governments, ap
plies with peculiar force to the seveial States
of this Union, bound together, as they are,
by a sacred compact for mutual support and
protection ; and, therefore, any attempt in one
State, to excite insurrection in another, is an
offence against all the States, because all are
bound by the Constitution to put down such
disturbance ; and the act of Congress author
izes the President of the United States to call
out the militia of the several States for the
purpose. It is a high offence against the peace
of our Commonwealth, for disorderly persons
within our jurisdiction, to combine together
for the purpose of stirring up insuirection, in
any of the States, or to induce the slaves in
the Southern States to abscond from their
masters j and it would be proper, in my judg
ment, for the General assembly to consider
whether additional legislation may not be
accessary to insure prompt punishment of such
offenders against our peace aud security.
In determining our relative duties towards
our sister States, the morality of servitude is
not an of>eu question, for we are bound by the
legal and moral obligation of the compact of
the Union, under which we have been brought
into existence, and preserved as independent
Slates, as well as by the principles of inter
national law, to respect the institutions which
the laws of the several States recognize, and
iu no other way can we faithfully fulfill our
obligations, as members of this confederacy.
While I eutertain no doubt that the great
Republican experiment on this continent, so
happily commenced, and carried forward to
its present exalted position, in the eyes of the
world, will continue, under the Providence of
God, to be successful to the latest generations,
it is the part of wisdom and patriotism to be
watchful and vigilant, and to carefully guard
a treasure so priceless. Let modeate counsels
prevail—let a spirit of harmony and good
will, and a national fraternal sentiment be cul
tivated among the people, everywhere—North
and South —and the disturbing elements which
temporarily threaten our Union, will now, as
they have always heretofore, assuredly pass
away.
Pennsylvania, in the past, has performed
lier partjwith unfaltering firmness—let he now,
and in the future, be ever ready to discharge
her confederate duties with unflinching in
tegrity. Then will her proud position entitle
her, boldly and effectuully, to rebuke, and as
sist to crushing, treason, whether it shall
raise its crest in other States, in the guise of
a fanatical and irrepressible conflict, between
the North and South ; or assume the equally
reprehensible form of nullification, secession,
and a dissolution of the Union. Her central
geographical position, stretching from the
bay of Deleware to the lakes—with her three
millions of conservative population—entitles
her to say, with emphasis, to the plotters of
treason, on either hand, that neither shall be
permitted to succeed—that it is not in the
power of either to disturb the prosperity ot
Uuion, cemented and sanctified, as it is, by
the blood of our patriotic fathers—that, at
every sacrifice, and at every hazard, the con
stitutional rights of the people and the States
shall be maintained—that equal and exact
justice shail be done to the North and to the
South —aud that these States shall be forever
United.
We, as a people, hare great reason to ac
knowledge the Providence of God, who rules
over the nations of the earth. Under bis
guardianship, hitherto so signally enjoyed, we
feel an unabated confidence in the permanency
of ourfree government,and look forward, with
cheerful hope, to a future glorious destiny. In
the blessings that have crowned our Common-
wealth the past year—in the success that has
accompanied all our industrial pursuits—in
the steady advance of onr educational institu
tions —in the quiet and peace of our domestic
homes—in all that can adtance a nation's
prosperity and happiness—we recognize the
hand of the Great Giver of all Good.

[GOVBNOB WISE TO GOVERNOR PACKER.]
RICHMOND, Va., Nov. 25, 1859.
To His Excellency, the Governor of Pennsylva
nia :
DEAR SIR : —I respectfully send to you the
information coutained in a letter to the Presi
dent of the United States, of which the en
closed is a copy. I snbmit it to you in the
confidence that you will faithfully co operate
with the authorises of this State iu preserv
ing the peace of our conterminous borders.—
Necessity may compel us to pursue invaders of
our jurisdiction into yours ; if ao, you may be
assured that it will done with no disrespect to
the sovereignty of your State. But this State
expects the confederate duty to be observed,
of guarding your teritory from becoming dan
gerous to our peace and safety, by affording
places of depot and rendezvous to lawless des
peradoes who may seek to war upon our peo
ple. With the highest respect,
I am, sir, yours truly,
lIENRV A. WISE.
[GOVERNOR WISE TO JAMES BUCHANAN.]
RICHMOND, Va., November 25,1859.
To His Excellency, JAMES BUCHANAN, Presi
dent of tho United States *
SIR :—I have information from various
quarters, upon which I rely, that a conspiracy,
of formidable extent in means and numbers,
is formed in Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York
and other States, to rescue John Brown and
his associates, prisoners at Charlestown, Va.
The information is specific enough to be relia
ble. It convinces rne that an attempt will be
made to rescue the prisoners, and, if that fails,
then to sieze citizens of this State as hostages
and victims in ease of execution. The execu
tion will take place next Friday as certainly
as that Virginia can and will enforce her laws.
I have been obliged to call out one thousand
men, who are now under arms, and, if neces
sary, shall call out the whole available force
of the State to carry into effect the sentence
of our laws on the 2d and 15th proximo.—
Places in Maryland, Ohio and Pennsylvania
have been occupied as depots and rendezvous
by these desperadoes, unobstructed by guards
or otherwise, to invade this Slate, and we are
kept in continual apprehension of outrages
from fire and rapine on our borders. I apprise
you of these facts iu order that you may take
steps to preserve peace between the States.—
I protest that my purpose is peaceful, a;;d that
I disclaim all threats when I say, with all the
might of uieauing, that if another invasion as
sails this State or its citizeus from anv quar
ter, I will pursue the invaders wherever they
may go into any territory, and punish them
wherever arms can reach them.
I shall send copies of this to the Governors
of Maryland, Ohio and Pennsylvania.
With due respect and consideration,
Yours truly, HENRY A. WISE.
[TEI.PGRAPHIC REPLY OF GOVERNOR PACKER TO
GOVERNOR WISE.]
STATE OF PENNSYLVANIA, )
Executive Chamber, Harrinburg, Etc. 1, 1859. j
To His Excellency, the Governor of Virginia,
Richmond, Va.:
SIR :—Your letter of the 25th, having been
missent to Harrisonburg, Virginia, was not re
ceived until this morning. Of all the desper
adoes to whom you refer, not a man, so far as
I can learn, was a citizen of Pennsylvania ;
nor was their rendezvous, (which you say was
unobstructed by guards or otherwise,) in this
State, but in Maryland or Virginia. Iu rela
tion to them, Pennsylvania has done her duty.
\ irgiuia has no right to aNticipate that she
will not do so in the future. The information
you haTe received iu regard to a conspiracy to
rescue John Brown, will, undoubtedly, be
found, in the sequel, utterly and entirely with
out foundation, so far as Pennsylvania is con
cerned. Nor will we permit any portion of
our territory, along our borders, or elsewhere,
to made a depot, a rendezvous, or a refuge, for
lawless desperadoes, from other States, who
may to make war upon our southern
neighbors. When that contingency shall hap
pen, the constitutional and confederate duty of
Pennsylvania shall be performed ; and, under
all circumstances, she will take care to see
that her honor is fully vindicated.
