Even many of those in the most ele vated positions and . enjoying the highest corefidence of the 'public, are often fond to yield to the .temptik gone that surround them. The de- _ sire for the rapid accumulation iof .wealth' ; thethousands of schemes presented to excite the cupidity of hums* nature, and the looseness of public morals, engendered by the es cape of the guilty from punishment, have so demoralized public sentiment* that it may be considered , a wonder —almost a miralcle—that Pennsylva nia has so king escaped from the ca 'amity that' might, at any time have happened, or that May hereafter hap pen, by the' robbery of her treasury, and render the suspension of the pay ment of the interest upon the State debt, for a time, inevitable. 4 In the performance of my tjcity, I have forewarned the. Legislature of a danger as respects her finances, of no common r tagnltude. It remains for it to de n te me whether this danger shall be averted by prompt and effi cient legislation and the: treasury guarded against the occurrence of so :great a calamity. The report of the.superintendent 'of the Common Schools•exhibits a full view of our excellent system of pub lic instruction, which is widely diffus ing its bleedings by securing a sound and substantial education to all the' children.of the State. 4 brief sum mary will give an ides of the im mense ' propottions it has attained and the vast amount of usefulness of which it is capable.
