A fund for the liquidation of the residue: of the miblic debt; is an object not less imPertatit thin ;I the one, just inggetited. PennisylVenia should:seri-. longer bear the burthens whicli.now. oppress her citizens; without at least a vigorous and manly effort to 'relieve herself front" her liabilities. To the Legislature belongs the duty uf,devising'such means, and 'enacting such laws as will best pro mote - the interests - of =the people; and efforts so laudable, will at all - dines receive,the approbation of, and be aided tY, Such suggestions as may pre. sent thernselve to the Executive. A more tai7ol , able opportuuity may present itself at the present session, than;will soon agaiii be offered. Adanycif the banks of this State,bave given the requisite no. tice, that they propose to apply for a renewal of their charters, and I would suggest, should it co. incide With year views, tho policy of exacting from each of the institutions that may come before the Legislature, the payment of a certain percent age onstut capital, in 'addition to the taxes already assiciasek batiks,, existing laws. A sum raised in this way, might form -the nuclease of a sinkitig, fund: which, howitversinall; would regu• larly increase in importaiMe and trulue,ly the as• sistance it might receive Rom that and other sources.' The charters of all the banks in the Commonwealth will require renewal, the increas. ed psospetity, populauou and businesie of the country, may require additional banking facilities, and during each year, a small amount could be added to the fund. The investment of the fund thus ereated, in the purchase of State snicks, (the present revenue level Of tho State being pre. served,) and the interest of the stock purchased, bears again invested- in the same way, would ins crease the fund, while it diminished the debt, until all would appreciate its importance, and consider it with favor, Shuisld our resources of revenue become of •greater • value, as may be reasonably anticipateC large balances over the expenditure!' 'of the Government will accrue to the Treasusy, -a. fixed proportion of which could properly be added to the fond. Thus would it increase in triple proportion, until the enormous debt with which we are encumbered, would - be finally extinguished. Whatever may be the views of the 'Legislature in regard to - the - plan suggested, itis ardently hoped 'it will distinguish its procoedingi by the adoption of means to attain an object sodesirable.. The revision of the laws on the subject of Reves. nue, with a view ter increase taxation, the farm itig interests ef. die State, should not be further burdened.' The state, county, school, road and poor rates, . levied' upon eland, and the reduced price of the products of this agriculturists, occa sioned by the present Revenue Laws of the Isla. denial Government, operating to the injury of the home market; shouldjustly and : equitably relieve it from additimini taxation. For. many years no settlement of the accounts of the Commissioner of the Internal Improvement Fund halt been made. It is worthy of considers. tion,Whether a commission, to consist at' a clerk froth the AndttorGenerars and the State. Depart. Meet, with a third to be appointed, authorised to maker= examination of said accounts; as also to escertain precisely the condition of the Treasury, and its disbursing rigonts ; 'what monies are due from corporations, Individuals and counties, and if balances are found to twist, the reason why col. lections are delayed ; might, by a careful report, suggest abbrations beneficial in tbo manner of conducting our financial affsirs. In this connec tion it is proper to mention that a change in the manner of drawing money from the treasury, should be adopted, to afford more ample checks , the present system being deemed defective. The Report of the Canal Commissioners will enable the Legialature to form an accurate judg ment of the state ofthe public improvements Notwithstanding serious interruptions, caused by the :destruction. of the Freeport Acqueduct, and other casualties, theeevenne from this filtlrCtl tins been so Serge, and ss constantly increasing, that these works should be carefully guarded and pre. served, as a meaus,uselul to this citizens, and high. fy advantages to the-State. In referring to the in. tarred improvement of the State, I cannot allow the ; opportunity to pass, without alluding to the liorth Branch Cabal. Iris suppoaed that a million of dollans would complete this work, at present Profitless, and . rntudly going to ruin. Already has the State expeded upward* of t2,ooo,Utel, which, while it soutane' utifintshol, is absolutely lost.— The country through' which this improvement passes, is rich in the articles of Mail and irou, and us agricultural products. Its completion,. by the increased amount of tolls received on it, and the, additional freight dimwit on to other. por_thms of the public improvements, would atrqdy secure die interests' on the coat of its completiou. Under a deep sense of:the correctness , of these views, T could not avoid bringing the subject to your early cousidoraton. In tins relation it is also proper to refer to the importance of avoiding the Schuyl kill inclined Olin. Surveys and estimates by a skillful engineer, have been made of three dit. ferent routes, will be laid before you In the report of the gentleman to whom wns entrusted the duty. It is well to observe, that these estimates are not included in the estimated expenditures of the current year, as given in a former pert of this message. The attention of the Legislature will be called to tbo subject of the currency in connection with the Banking institutions of the State, These in stitutions have become so, iutimately identified with the business and interests of LIM citizoos, and furnish such a perdue of tbrifirculating medium, that a necessity is created for their proper manage ment and control. The standard of the value of things among civilized nations, is conceded to be the precious metals, The constitutional currency of this Governmetit. is gold and silver. When. ever the conveniences of trade and business, the encouragement of industry and enterprise, or the natural growth and developentents of the couu. try, require additional commercial facilities, it is the duty of the public functionary to be watchful, that the represetdatiou of the preciouss metals should maintain a standard value. The citizen having in his possession a note issued by a Bank of the Commonwealth, should be seems,. that he Melds the equivalent of gold and silver, min order to attain this result, care should be taken by the Legislature in the growth of authority to these corporations to prevent them, if possible, hum furnishing a leas reliable currency. Banking in standees hive loog existed amu s e us, and have been". when, properly restricted and judiciously managed, highly conducive to the best interests of the people. Their notes, when kept at par value, form e more convenient currency than the pre cams metals are equally valuable in all financial concerns, and promote the active industry of the country. Hence, solvent Banks whose notes are readily convertible into specie, should be sustained by . the Legislature, while those failing to keep their notes at Fair, ought to redeem them on de. mand. By inflicting injury and injustice on the community, they destroy confidence and forfeit our favorable consideration., In judging of the amount of Banking Capital necessary fur the 'want,' of the community, a sound and healthful state of business and trade afford the best and safest criterion. These heal. wipes are better able to meet their liabilities and redeem their 'nowt. in a state of things as is al. ready hero alluded to, than during extraordinary depression, or "unnatural excitement. That the increase of Bankitig facilities is instrumental in relieving the country in times of commercial dis. tress, is a belief as prevalent as itis unsound. It may srotpone the crisis,, but cannot afford relief. The acme, healthful industry of the country. and net t h e wants of individuals, should govern the issues of theEnuks , In periods of great commas• mat and manufacturing prosperity, an inflation of the currency', beyond the wants of sound, whole. soma tittle leasla te unwise, and often ruinous speculations. In Aunt, the amount`of the circa. lating medium, should depend on the actual and not tbe imaginary 'wants of the country. From these observations will readily perceive that any extraordtnary increase of our Banking capital, to the resent depressed condition of trade, is not consistent with my views efsthe general welforp. The location of a bank,as near as practicable to , the centre of its bestrews opemtnins, is a matter of some moment to ' the community. and should the Legislature init. examination of the aoplica. dons for the re.eliarter of any institution now ex isting, be satisfied,, that the loisatinn of, the exist. iog bank is unsuited. to the ,convenience of the business portion of the citizens for whose benefit it was established, a whir' policy would dictate a refusal to , recharter, and the establishment of a new institution with the same amount of capital at a plate more advantageous to the citizens. The old and well eitablisheci banking institutions whose credit and solvency are undtinbted, and where the wants of the community in winch they are locatird required it, should receive a 'cinema of tbeircharter.; bait' no inatance aught a char. wet° be renewed curl a complete,atborough eiv amination of the - affairs of the institution and a full statement of tta Onsinesa,, with s atisfa c t o ry ° evidence of the keno -fide value of its smite, shell. have convinced - 'it . committee appointed for, time ,purpose of -itsieritire.Solveriay and ability tore. deem atlitaliebiliries: 'Such statemeat duly' au. thenticated should, be filed of record In the .stele $ 1,857,549`06 37,305,701 - 18 200,000•-00 $1,031,386.74, •••-• 7 4 • t CP> . t , • t;:. • .;= ' J ..% • ) - .

Several taws , .' io force , to prevent thatooS end circaltitinn of notes of a less denomination than $5, do not appear to have produced the' revel t intend. ed. A large portion of the cUrrency . °fine State, consists of notes of a lOwerytionoromation; many of them spurious and defaced. issued by foreign institutions, %bout whose solvency no knowledge can be possessed by the: citizens. This circula. thin, while it inflicts injury on tha community, is in indirect contravention of the elpress terms of the law. As it is manifest the existing laws will not remedy the evil, it is suggested that en act preventing, under severe penalties, the banks and brokins dealing intrioney, from receiving on de. posit, exchanging, or paying the lime from their counters, would have a beneficial effect in driving these notes from circulation.. Should the circula tion of riotea of a -less denomination than $5 be desirable, it is infinitely to be preferred, that they should be issued by our State .banks, whose sol vency is known, rather than foster a circulation issued, by institutiOnis whose abilitiei to redeem thorn may be uncertain. With these, slight modifications of our present system, taking care that no unnecessary and an• advised increase of banking capital be made, and in all cases either of new institutions or‘he re newal of those now existing, that their entire solvency should be undoubted, and that no danger to the citizens will arise from these grants of power: ishould deem it right to leave the present policy in relation to those corporations, as it has been maintained, in former years. During the lest session of the Legislature, an act was passed. regulating the bours of labor in factories, and specifying the age at which minors shall be admitted therein. It is respectfully submitted, whether this law does not require amendment, Ant as prevent spcMal contracts to labor more than the time fired by the act. The operation of the law, as as present in force. gives to those violating its spirit, au advantage over hith who faithfully carries it into effect, by permitting the owner and operative to enter into such contracts, in relation to the extension of time, as they may deem proper. If it be right to limit the hours of labor in factories, (and who, that desires the education and comfort of the citizens, can doubt it,) the law should be so changed as to operate alike in all such establishments. Should the Legislature concur in this opinion, it would be proper to repeal the proviso allowing of special contracts by parents and guardians, Tor the labor of minors above the ago of 14years. They should not ho left in a condition of more hardship th au the adult. I have brought this subject to the notice of the Legislature, as well because of the justice and propriety of the suggestion, us that my friendship for the measure, was well known to the couple, and has been approved by them, at the atiL.goueral election. ' - '7t gives me unpained pleasure' to announce the fact that the Common School system is at length adopted througheut the State. The friends of eds emotion must be deeply gratified that a commute• thin an desirahlo, promising such advantages to the citizens, and security to the State has been als tabled. It may well be considered as a canonic. uuus epoch in our history. The blessings of tinned and moral cultivation dispensed throughout the Commonwealth will improve the condition of the people, enlarge their sphere of usefulness, and give to the . State a charucter for intelligence and virtue. The -report of the Superintendent will furnish writable information to the legislature for the further improvement of the system, and will unable it to remedy existing defects. , The Adj't. General's Report on the subject of the militia contains many important suggestions, well worthy the consideration of the Legislature. It is the production of a practical military officer. who has bestowed much thought on the select, and will be found interesting and valuableerarticalarly. as paints tug oat a mode by which the vast expenditure of the present-system may he saved to the treasury. la the Reports of the Auditor General, and Sari. voyor General, you will finds detailed account of the financial operations of the year ending the letof December last.

Cents again. in the National Congress. the question of the extension or noweittension of human Slavery. At the adoption of the ,National Ceestitution. the longer continuance of what was then considered an ovii was strongly agitated, and resulted in a com promise permitting it in the States where at that time it. existed. The Constitution. being submitted to the States, wu adopted. with others. by Poem!. ;limbs; and after the lapse of more than half • centu ry, it remains the great fundamental law of the -Toproserveand perpetuate-it—to seknowl• edge its anpremagy—to mutate.° and" deiced Ate promiples, and to submit to its compromises—are du ties to which every citizen is pledged, whatever his opinion in relation to questions arising under it. Tills fundamental law recognises the right to hold slaves in the States which were parties in the compact, bat, it makes no farther acknowledgment It bears on, Its plain and expressive pride no agreement, express ; or implied, upon tto further exteasiou of human Sla very. That this National wrong has been extended with the progress of popalstion, is not an argument in favor of its position, is not an argument in favor or its justice lts Constitutional right, or of the salutary effects it has produced in the territories where it has been admitted. Shall it still bo further extended I To the Congress of the United States belongs the authority to settle this Important question. Bolero it shall have been determined, the opinion of our eits icons on the subject should be fully'and distinctly rude known, through their public functionaries, to the confederate States. Thu right to instruct our tleoators. and to request the representatives in the national councils, ought nut to be exercised on light trivialoeeasions white on subjects gravely af. firming the well being of the country, it becomes a duty which none will venture to decline. In the ex. erelse of this admitted right, the Legislature will find the opportunity to express in terms not to be mistas ken. the position which is held by Pennsylvania on this grave and momentous question. While the compromises of the Constitution should be maintained in good faith towards nor Southern brethren, it is our duty to see that they are preser ved with equal fidelity to ourselves. No enactments. however sanctioned by use, should be acknowledged as precedents for farther wen* against the inters eats, prosperity, and happiness of the non Slavehold ing States of the lluion. 1f Slavery be, in itself, an infraction of human rights, it is directly opposed to the enlightened spirit of our free institutions—if it destroy the equality of power in the general Govern • merit, by enlarging, where it exists, the constitution. al reeresentation—if it possess a direct or indirect influence against Northern and Western policy and interests, by promatieg a system yf laws destructive to domestic industry, and vitally affecting free labor —if it retard the natural growth of population and improvement, by the appropriation of large tracts of lands, for the benefit of the few, to the injury of the 113 any —if it be in open defiance of the spirit of the age, the march of rational truth, and the enlightened policy of mankind. it is time to arrest its further pre. press. These. it is believed, are the settled convie• thins of our citizens, and their determination to main• lain them is unalterable. FXLLOW Cizizzas bly duty is now performed.

Wr To compound a medicine entirely of vegetables, which ahrill operate effectually, is a very . great advance aped the obsolete formulas of pharmaceutical science. It is only in modern times that this itnportant de.iiiiera . turn has arrived at perfection. The community have been so long drugged and poisoned by mineral prepare- Ilona, that vegetable compounds became n matter of ac.-, teal necessity, and no remedy could expect to becotne popular without thin essential recommendation. The very idea of administering mineral salon:ince* internal ly in ataiolutely preposterous. Nature never intended - them for that purpose. Their mode of operation is;too violent, and they neldom fail to leave the system in ni worse condition than they find it. The Clickener Sugar coated Vegetable Purgative Pills being compounded 11.0 t merely of vegetables, but of their extracted Juices, is en irely free trom thin objection. Their operation in per fectly soothing. They penetrate the Minutest fibres of the human frame by a iguana] process; and never cease in their operation until every particle of diseased matter is expelled, and every syrriptout of disorder removed.
