Crittenden, Wickliffe and others op
posed inquiry because it was neither legit
imate nor expedient for Congress to med

an&ry with us for not setting the slaves
free. •

saved by the throwing overboard of a

Mr. Wickliffe responded-4 would pre

Mr. Mallory - of Ky., u ndergtood Mr
Lovejoy to say that so „heavily is slavery
weighing upon our army ag to render it.
impossible to achieve victories until slave

South if the theory of the gentlennin was
correct.

Nesmith, of Oregon, an Hale, •of New

that " it would be well to emulate the ex
amPlegsof the First. Napoleon and elevate
Treasury thieves:by the neek;" and the
fecund was of the opinion that-it would
yet be necessary to punish thieves on the I
Treasury by death." Mr. Hale had pro I
viously offered a resolution, which was !
adopted by the Senate, authorizing an in-

The six percent. loans for military pur

well for the credit of the Commonwealth:
During the year 1851,.through the opera
tion'of the sinking fund the State debt
was - reduced $101,331,42, leaving the
debt-on November 30, ]861,537,568,216,-
03: This is exclusive of $2,712,150 due
upon the - loans for war purpost '
which,it
is!apected, will be reimbursed by the
Getier;il Government. Following this
Portion of the message, there is a State - -

to the railroad and 'canal companies, to
whoM Er6tne of.our canals were sold,show
ing thaethe Commonwealth has not yet
got rid of the troubles she brought upon
ber,head • .when she embarked upon' u
boundless sea ofinternal improvements.
With reference to the war, the State
efforts are shown as followS: ,
Volunteers now in the field:—
Infantry, sixty-six regiments
• - and seven companies; 71,896 men
Cavalry,eleven regiments and
six cotpanies, • . 13,268 "
Artillery, one regiment and

and in camp, 109, 6 15 "
To these are to be added the
three mouths.volunteers, 20,175 "
Grand total, .129,790 •
So that it will be seen that Pennsylran
ia has contributed soldiers to the war 'to
the enortnous.aggregate of nearly ONE
,HUNDEED AND THIRTY THOUS ND MEN,' of
whom about twenty. thousand only were
for three.monthi, and nearly one hundred
anilten thouiand arefor three years or
the War. •
Of this grand army ofPeimsylvania,twO
regiments'are at Annapolis,
eight with
General banks, five in South Carolina,one
in
.KorthCarolini,.two at Fortress Mon
roe, five 'and a fraction in Kentucky, two
and a fraction in Western' Virginia, .one
at,Cockeysville, Maryland ; and the rest,
including the gallant Reserv'es, in or near

The Governor spitaks with just pride
the Vennsylvanialteserves. • Their organ=l
ization was a measure of gfeat prudence, ,
and they were of vital sapport to the Ha- I
tional cause at-a-critical 'lniur succeeding
the disaster at Bull Run. Their equip-I
Ment s maintenance, i&C., cost the State
$855,444;87, an amount which Congress j
should be prompt to see' reimblirsed.
. Apropos of the reimbursement • of this
and other expenses incurred by the .Com
monwealth for war - purposes, the „Gov
ernor suggests that the early repayment
of them by.the National Governnientwill
enable the state, to apply the amount to
the satisfaction of her quota of the State
tax when it becomes due, without special
taxation for that purpose. lie recom
mends,,however, that in . any event' the
State should assume her portion of the
direct tax ; thus, not only. save
fifteen 'per cent., but keep the subject of
taxation 'under her own • control, so that
the btirdens of the war may be distribut
ed equitably ;over- other interests than
real estate,which is heavily taxed already.
