The rnelaricholy duty devolves on me of form, ally announcing to the General Assembly the fact 'of-the decease of the Chief Magistrate of the Nis tion, ihe venerable ZACtiARS TAYLOR; who died at the City, of _Washington on the evening 'of the 9th of Tuly lest. _ • _ The Soldier whose brilliant achievements in arms added new lustre to the military fame•of the - country, aid the Statesman whose policy, as shad owed forth in his recommendations to Congress, was that of the wisest . and most generous patriot , diedia-the full Possession of his.great mental faculties, surrounded by endeared -relatives, cher , balled friends and patriotic members of goVern ,ment; with the calm resignation becoming a Christitursoldier, and founded on the faith which `teaches that death has no terrors for those who faithfully endeavor tri_do their duty. The Amer.. ican people paid the highest 'tribute to hisperno. ry by united and universal sorrow. • In the purity and disinterestedness of his Mo. tives, the patriotism ,of. every impulse as affecting his public .Condrict, the perfect sincerity of his desire to act justly to . all men, his winning gen.

The amendment ticthe State : Constitution, pro, viding-for the election by the citizens of the Judi. cial officers_ of the Commonwealth, hiving recei v ed the sanetied:of. a Majority — of the 'people, is now part,of the organic law. Your attention is • invited,to. such legislation as may be necessary to carry into complete effect this 'expression of .the putpular',Wilt. By the terms of the Constitution, -• the commissions of-the.Tudges will expire on the first Moaday . of December, in the year one thou. . . _ ••'; -• . . sand eight hundredand it is that this will aflord a favorable opportunity to re. model and greatly 'lessen the *limber of Judicial Districts. "At present:there.are no leisthantwen- . ty.four judicial districts, with - District Coeds in Philadelphia and`Allegheny counties. A. reference to the vast amount of business transacted in these ast named Courts,alTords conclusive evidence that he interests,of the community demand their con% innance. Should a reduction be made in the number of the Common . Pleas Districts, the solo. ries now paid to the Judges ought to, be increased to such extent as would be a fair remuneration for the labor performed and the responsibility Incur red in the execution of the dutiee of their high, ofaces. It is no part of the character of, our citi• cue to require" he labors'of _others — without 'tide-, quate compensation.sFair salaries will best menu the services- of honest, intelligent and competent men, in that department of government in the faithful administration of which every citizen is so deeply interested. An increase of the salaries of the Judges'of the Courts of Common Meru; and District Courts, would demand the extension- of the same liberality to such gentlemen as may be selected to, discharge the higher and more respon. Bible:duties of Judges of the Court of last resort: two. annual elections appear to impose untie. cessary burthens upon the citizens: Expense to the general treasury, and loss of time to the voter, c.ould,be well send by authorizing the elections now field in the Spring to be holden at the gener. `al election in October. To such counties as de- sire to try the - experiment; the- right might be granted. I have heed furnished with , a statement of the expense incurred by holding Spring elec. dons in Dauphin County, and if the amount is a fair average, of the expense to the other counties, the change indicated will save to the people of the. Commonwealth annually, upwards of thirty thousand dollars. The project of creating an Agricultural De , pertinent connected with the State Government, demande,the favorable eonsideration of the Legis lature. - do such department tnightlie collected _ much valuable information for the use• of thePrac tied farmer. The recent improvements in the construction of, implements of husbandry, the an itlyais olearth; improved modes of tillag,e, and adaption of manures and seeds to various kinds of soil, are subjects of absorbing interest to the agricultural classea. Diffusion of knowledge re specting the beat breeds of horses, cattle end other stock, with suggestions in an authorized and relia ble form, and experimental expositions of the proper modes of rearing and training live stock of all kinds,.could not fail to act beneficially on this great interest of the Commonwealth'. Should the National Government erect au Agricultural Bu; react, in conformity with the suggestion of the President, the State institution would be an efE cleat auxiliary in the collection of local intermits tion, and for the distribution here at home, or knowledge amassed in that department from other sources. In this establishment, the claims of the mining, mechanical, and manufacturing interests on the fosterin. , care of the Government, might be equally regarded. A private society in our Metropolitan city -by its liberality, activity and learning, has done much to develope and encour. age the arts and sciences, useful in every-day life, and has largely aided our mechanics and manu facturers to gain a reputation throughout the world. By the measure proposed, I desire to acs complish for the advancement of the agricultural, mechanical, and mining industty of the whole Commonwealth, what the, Franklin. Institute has done for those interests, which have enjoyed the benefit of its discriminating , care. County and township institutions would speedily follow the creation of a State department, and by menial ac tion and tounsels, results would ensue, highly gratifying to the patriot, and beneficial to the country. " Should the returns of the seventh census of the United States be transmitted in time, the appors tionment of the State into Congressional Districts, - may become part , of your duty. In such event, it is hoped the custom heretofore pursued of post pacing action on important bills -of this descrip. lion to the last hours of the session, will be changed. It is a practice utterly inconsistent with careful and correct legislation, and degrees live of the rights of a co-ordinate branch of the Government " The Committee charged with the introduction of gas lights into the public buildings, has corns plied, so far as in their power, with the direclipns of the Legislature. An appropriation to meet these expenses, end to enclose and improve the public grounds, should be made et an early day. A complete set of balances, furnished to the . State by the General Government, have been posited in the buildings of the Land Office. The Commissioriers of the several counties ought tar be requiretl to have the weights and measures, un der their care, again adjusted and regulated. An arrangement of the Geological specimens belonging to the State, in some convenient place for general inspection, and the publication of the Geological reports, ere demanded alike by the true interests of the State, and a just appreciation of her character for enlightened enterprise. 4y attention has been called to the large body .of original papers in the State department, con. Elected with the Colonial and Revolutionary his. tory of the State, and their extremely exposed and perishing condition. These records are worth preservation, as containing authentic information of the action of our fathers in the struggle for national existence. In the Capital of Peansylva , nia, and with the sympathies of her patriotic pea ple, was Independence matured and declared.— E'er soldiers were most numerous around the standard of the nation, and there were more bats tle fields on her soil than in the same area else where. Every memorial of those days of devo _don and trial, should be faithfully preserved.— There exists a single copy, in manuscript, of the minutes of the . Revolutionary Executive Council, a document by tar too valuable to remain longer within the reach of accident or mutilation. It would he gratifying to a large body of oar con stituents,: if the Assembly would authorize the employdent of a competent gentleman to select I and arrange for publication these memorials of an interesting epoch in the history of the Commons wealth. In the early spring the buildings of the Insane Asylum will be ready for the reception of patients. This work of charity, worthy of the hest care oftho philanthropist, from its admirable construction and healthful location, cannot fail to answer the ends of its benevolent founders. It deserves the fostering care of the Legislature. • In the performance of your duties, attention is most earnestly directed to the revision of the laws in relation to taverns, restaurants, beer houses, and ten pia alleys. It is alleged that in many instance. they are made the common resort of the young, the idle, and the worthless, to the great' detriment of the moral well-being of the rising generation. The suggestions and recommendations of former messages in reference to the equalisation of Tax laws, payment of portions of the public debt overs due, the currency, and public improvements, aro again pressed on your attention. The loan authors ised at the last union to redeem the over duo pub lic debt, has not been negotiated. The financial condition of the Commonwealth is exhibited in the following statements , : Amount of funded debt, including amount in the hands of Commissioners of Sinking Fend, and also special loan to avoid Inclined Plane at the Schuyl kill, on the 30th of November, 1850, was 1139,862,914 78 Amount of unfunded debt, ram° date, 912,570 64 Total sum of debt, $40,775,485 42 In this gross sum is included the loan to avoid the Plane at the Schuylkill, aa above stated.--the avoid. once of the plane authorized the sale of that por tion of the Columbia Railroad and.

A part of the road and bridge wag sold for 8243,200, which amount is 'to be ap plied as directed by the 18th Sect. of the Act of 10th April, 1849, towards the permanent improve moot of the Columbia railway.

In the amounts received from Canal and Railroad tolls and collateral inheritance - taxes, the actual re ceipts of the lest year fall short of the estimates. Ja making these estimates it was supposed the Nunes. don of aformer message in relation to the convey ance of passengers on the Columbia Railway would have been favorably regarded. It is stilt believed that a largely increased revenue would attend the adoption of the changes heretofore recommended. That the 'collateral inheritance tax is inefficiently and carelessly collected to some of the counties, and even when collected frequently retained in the bands of the officers longer than necessary, is de monstrable by the Tact of the great disproportion re. calved at the Treasury from counties of equal pope. Wien, business, and wealth. A statement of the amounts received from the several counties during the last four years, will exhibit much valuable in formation on the interesting question of inequality of taxation in the payment of the public debt. All items of taxation applicable to the sinking fund should be required to reach the Treatrory qua natty under the severest penalties. A reference. to the reports of the Adjutant Gene. ral, Auditor General, Surveyor General, and Super intendent of Common Scheele, will afford detailed information of the business of their several depart. meets, and furnish views and suggestions of interest to the general weal. The, school ayetem, although still imperfect, is rapidly improving in its general condition, and prom hies the beneficial results it was designed to accen plish. The - education of the people, Is the great question of the ago, and as such it cannot aid to command your earnest and enlightened efforts for its speedy and ultimate success. In the competition for wide and travel, no effort for the full repair of the canals and railroads of the State should bp neglected. The deteriorating condi tion of many of these works, admonish ow that the system of supervision is ineffectual to secure the re turn orwhicb their construction gave confident as suranco. In a system of divided responsibility in their management, the difficulty evidently exists.— On a former occasion it was suggested to divide the State into Canal and Railway districts, and allot to each a Canal Commissioner, to whom its entire con trol should be given. This project is again recent mended, but should it fail to meet your approbation, the proposition of selecting a Superintendent, to whom for his whole limo and attention, a compen sating salary should be Old, and under whose solo control the public works might he placed, is worthy of consideration. All the evils arising from divided counsels and shifting responsibilities would be avoid ed, and that energy and skill in their management secured which cannot be expected under the pre treat system. It is alleged this method of supervia aion of public works has succeeded well and benefi cially in other States. A commercial connection between Philadelphia and .Europe by , Steamships,--an enterprise truly worthy the favoring regards of the whole common wealth and the countenance and aid of the national government by the extension of mail facilities—the completion of the great Railway communication now in rapid progress of construction to the naviga btu watdre of the West, the thorough repair of the Cumberland Valley road, and the erection of various lams of Railway in the valley of the Susquehanna, must throw an amount of trade' on the Columbia Railroad which will demand for its transit the entire capacity-of that thoroughfare in a condition of per. fact repair. Every avenue by which the trade of the West, as well se of Central and Northern Penn sylvania reaches Philatlelphia, ought to be opened and kept In such perfect condition as to afford all possible facility - to business, for in the erowth and welfare of Philadelphia, the entire people should feel a lively interest, as identical with the prosper ity of the whole State. Whilst the internal trade is poured into our metropolie, end her local authori ties are diking their part to promote her commerce, it is our duty to demand from the. General govern. meet some portion of its reeources for the security and improvement of -the barber of the Delaware.— Improvement of the navigable rivers-and protection of the harbors of the Ocean and Lakes ought to be no longer delayed. In this connexion I deem it my duty to call your attention to the pending litigation in relation to the bridge over the Ohio river at -Wheeling, erected un der the authority, of Virginia, which, it is confident ly asserted, puts in jeopardy large commercial inte ream- It has been.my care to watch the progress of the controversy, and to direct the proper law officer of the •Commonwealth, associated with the other distinguished gentlemen who professionally repro sent the State, to protect these interests before the M=SER -tribentll which has cognizance of the - case. under-the Countitfitioe. '-- • - In' the varteuvßailway projects now severally termiaating.'at Philadelphia, Hatrisburgh,.and Pitts burgh, the people, of the CominenweaLth ought._ ne- ver to lose sight of that other great enterprise which - , known as the Sunbury and Eric Railroad, was meant , to connect the Suiquehanna, the Delaware, and the Lakes. Betides the. command of the trade of the Northern Seas secured'by its construction, it Would bring intemarket for-sale and settlement vast bodice , of untenanted and snimproved lands, and develop treasures of inelltanitible mineral wealth now whet iy inaccessible. „ ' ; '-' . '' The large indebtedoess of the-State, and the ne. cessity for ita reduction, forbid. the, policy- on her part, of embarking in these various imp . rovements. The debt of the CommOnwealth was incurred in the 'erection of works which wore largely conducive to the settlement and sale of the domain of. the Doi ten States, and while she has secured no part of this common inheritance, other States have been liberal ly aided in the construction of their internal improve meets by donations of public lends. It is aright - on her part to demand a portion of,these lands to aid in the completion of the importent works partially completed and in contemplation. - A system of 'banking, based upon State stocks, under proper restrictiona, Is recommended to the at ' section of the Legislature. It is thought that the present banking facilities are, unequal to the wants of the business community. The large amount of notes of banks of other States found in circulation $29,910,394 94 $40,848,698 41 1840,310,994 84: $538, - 203 67 among our people, the inability of the banks, with safety to their credit, to accommodate at all times the active bona fide business demands of the coun try, and the large operations In the nature of private banking daily transacted on severe terms to the bor.. rower, demonstrate that increased facilites are de- Mended to secure a healthy developmentof our re. sources. Any considerable extension of the present system is hardly to be anticipated, nor is it desirable, If a more permanent basis for such operations can be devised. Free banking upon a deposit and.pledge of public stocks, early recommended itself to favor. It is not liable to sadden expansions and contrac tions—more secure from failure-Leap obnoxioue to counterfeiting and fraud,and offers undoubted secs ': rity to the note holder. Should the stock required be the loans of the Commonwealth, it would appre date their value, and also have a tendency to with draw them from foreign countries, to.which are an snuffy aent millions of the public money to pay in terest. A recall of these stocks and a discharge of the interest to the resident citizens, would lead to the expenditure of an eqUal amount at home, there by affording emplciyincint to the people in the • provements of the State,in the erection of industrial institutions, and in various works of beauty and taste. If this system is favorably resented, a relinquish. meet of a 'portion of the interest on the stocks pledged would be directly advent:lei:ma to the Tree. stay. The confidence felt In their security, and the desire to use the relief notes, when kept in good eondition,justify the belief that an issue of small notes from State institutions, founded on a deposit of stocks, would be highly acceptable to the people. A reference to subjects, under: the control of the National Government, has long formed port of the an oint messages of the State Executives, and the cue tom has found favor not only by its consonance with the peculiar relations of the States to the General Government, but in the deep solibituda felt by in dividual citizens in the action of the latter on gees bonsai' pervading and direct interest to all. From the resolves of their Representatives in the council's of the States, the pennons and wishes of the peo ple are ellen well collected, and hence your action is frequently of great moment. In obedience, therefore, to custom, and in order that the senti• meats of our continue constituency may have ex pression either through the Etetutive Message, or the action of their Representatives, it is proper to refer to some of those questions of general interest, the disposal of which mare especially belongs to the National Government. A revision awl alteration of the Revenue Uwe, so as to give adequate and permanent protection to the industry of the country, are demanded by the prostrate condition of the mining and manufacturing interests. Tho propriety of affording full protection to domestic industry,in the enactment of Tariff laws, has been so folly discussed, that a- mere reforecce to former views, is all that is deemed necessary at this time. Is a late effort to amend the present Tariff, Its failure moy,be fairlyounbuted to the omis sion of the het Legislature to give expresa;on to the perfectly well understood fishes and expecta tions of the people. It is confidently hoped no such omission will mark the conduct of the present as tenthly. A reduction in the rates of postage, and the con struction of railway communications to the Pacific, were urged heretofore as worthy of friendly regard. Repetition of the views thee presented is unneces. sari; as time has only strengthened the conviction a' the 'propriety arid traefulneso of the proposed meatucs. - - In relation to the extension of Slavery and the duty of faithful observance of her Federal' obliga dons by the Commonwealth, the views expressed in former messages remain unchanged. There is nothing, in my judgment, In the history of the past, nor in the warnings of the future, to. justify the abandonment of the principles, Sacredly regarded from the foundation of the State, of non-interven tion in the domestic policy of other communities, and of resolute determination of permitting nu in. terference with our own. Fidelity in the discharge of Constitutional duty has distinguished oar gov ernment and people, and if an, opinion exists within. or has been mischievously propagated beyond our borders, that such is not the fact, it is conceived in error of our true history. Pennsylvania, her people, and her authorities, always have been loyal to the Constitution. They with it neither to be evaded nor amended. They will not permit it to be resisted. It has been intimated that on questions connected with the institution of Slavery, and the rendition of fugitives from labor, there have been indications of a disregard of her Constitutional obligations. To the clause of the Constitution relative to fugitives from labor, and the legislation under it, there ever has been in Pennsylvania, with all her avowed aver. sion to dnmeatic slavery, implicit obedience. With an earnest desire that, by a free interchange of coo. derate and rational opiniona obedience - to the law may bo made, not only implicit, but cheerful, it is proper to refer to some of the difficulties in relation to the subject now existing in the public mind. The clause of the Federal Constitution relative to fugitives from labor involves these prepositions: I. That involuntary service or slavery may exist in the States of the Lnion by constitutional recognition. 2. That the escape of the person so hold shall not op erate as a discharge from such eel-vice or labor. S. That on the claim of the , party to whom such eery ice is due, there must be a rendition of the fugitive. To interfere by Legislative enactment, or other wise, to destroy or in any way affect the right of property recognized in the first proposition, would be a daring violation of the clear obligations of the Constitution. No human being can pretend that by this Commonwealth such en interference has ever been attempted. Whatever may be the feelings of the people in opposition to the further extension of Slavery, and the consequent increase of anti-repubs Haan and sectional representation in the National Legislature, no effort has ever been made to disturb or destroy the vested rights of eitizone of other States; and when those rights may be endangered by the escape of a slave beyond the limits of the State where the relation Is acknowledged, our Mils zone have acted on the principle that no sympathy with individual suffering ought ever to weaken their sense of duty to the plain requirement, of the or genic law. In the adjustment of rights and official duties no der tho last proposition, more difficulty has been found to exist. By whose amity Is the fugitive to be given opt What force is to be given to the word 44 claiWi as used in the Constitution / Is not the delivery of the fugitive to bo made only through the agency of the National government/ These have been vexed and mooted questions. The final deci. eion of the Supreme Court of tho United States in a case to which Pennsylvania was made a party, and the recent Fugitive Slave, law, gave a judicial and legislative interpretation to this clause of the Con. stitution which cannot be misapprehended. The power and duty of enacting laws to carry into effect the constitutional direction being ruled to be In Congress and in Congress only, any interference on the part of the State authorities is unauthorized and without binding force. If the Constitution'impliee a duty to ho performed by both National and State Governments, and vests each with power over the subject, the framereof that instrument failed to expels in clear terms, as in other cases, the obligations of the parties. The latitude or construction reqiiired to give such pow. CFO to the State legislatures, would autherixe the passage of laws, and the enactment of regulations, upon every delegated power, of the National Gov. ernment, without regard to the action or non action of Congress. The General Government is admitted to be one of ascertained powers, but it ceases to be sn the moment concurrent jurisdiction vests in State Sovereignties. In the practical workings of- the system of concurrent jurisdiction much evil would arise. Thirty-one Soverelgntinentight prescribe dif ferent rule, of action—each:meant to m Aso effete tive national legislation, and the dangers resulting Irmo conflicting enactments, and the consequent dee struction of harmony and -order, could not fail to aiarni the patriot. Whenever power over a subject matter is vested by the Constitution inCongrese, and the power has been emelt - tell;the aethetitY of the , States has been judicially declared, es above stated, merged and abolished. This is the Tllie of law as well as that-of common settee. • An opinion has been expressed by men .nr emi nentlegal learoing and patriotism, that legislative action on the part of the States is expedient to aid in the execution of the powers of the general gore 3148,500 00 309,446'02 2,760.5;1 a,OOO 2.000 S.T 4 LI oaa spoo t3, t80 4 500, ~ . . ... • . , ,-,. ._ , ~ °foment. -In this opinion I cannorboricer. 1 o ady ;•.'-'ifitl • mit the pnaltion Would imply an inability,cietbf l - part .- .

To ennead er it, under violent ihreats and denunciatory clam or, would be an abandonment of the deeply ch l / 2 r• ished . privilege of liberty of th ought and speech.— When the enactments of the National Congress fail to convince the people of theirjostice and proprie ty, iris their slaty to seek their modification and' amendment. The recently enacted fugitive glare law, while it remains a statute / demands the aup , port of all the citizens, and 'unlesa our written con stitutions are ercirthleas parchmats, until the Judi. Clary declare it otherwise, must be_eateemed a con stitutional enactment. Are ita defects of such na- ture as to warrant the public In urging its' amend . .That part of the law which authorizes tho crea. tion of a new and irresponsible tribunal, under the came of Commierieuere, is liable to exception.-- Waiving the enquiry whether the Judicial power of-1 the United States can be vested anywhere, but in , regularly organised Coons, with the records of Courts, there are objections of serious import to the hailitution or this tribunal. All history shrives, that special tribunals, clothed with discretionary powers . Over person and property, aro liable to abuse, and have been instruments of oppression. If in these, the earl) days of the Republic, when no reason of urgent Stato necessity eta' bo-invoked, powers of a high judicial nature over the !MerlY .- and property of an individual are to be vested by appointment of an intoner tribunal in any irresponsible person, the se.' garity of the life, reputation and liberty of the cid. seas in aller.times, when new political or social emergenciea may arise, will depend on a most pre carious tenure. Thz Courts of the United States, whose Judges have a pride of character, and Over I whom . a controlling influence is exerted by the ire- I peachtnent clause of the Constitution, should alone be invested with these extraordinary power*. Rather than hazard the chalices of illegal decisions, and the consequent irreparable injury of an individual, rea sults so full of danger to the peace and good order of society, the Judicial power of the Nation might , wisely be extended. If it be deemed expedient to deny a trial by jury, and lodge the adjudication of this right of property in the breast of a tingle Judge, the kind of proof required should be, indicated, and a full record of the entire proceedings be made and preserved.. Procesles issued should be returned, and the eztradition or any colored person, for whose arrest a warrant had issued without hearing had be fore, the Judge, should be visited with the penalties of kidnapping. These medifications of the law, while they could not Interfere-with the rights of the owner of the fugitive, would greatly tend to satisfy the minds of citizens anxiously desirous toperfonn their constitutional duties. One otirr matter, connected with our Federal Relations, claims your attention. It is the Union env- Stater, and the dangers which are supposed to threaten it in - connection with the question of Slavery. Whether slavery he the cause or pretext or infkielity to the Union, and to what precise extent disaffection exists, tt in not my purpose to enquire. There was local disloyalty long before Slavery be came the immediate source of excitement, and there will be local disloyalty long Mier Slavery and the questions connected with it aro finally adjusted.. flu t be tho cause what it may, it is in vain to deny that tho Union of the Staten is lightly and irreverently talked of in certain quarters, and made the subject of heated discuntion by rash and unreflecting men. I cannot believe, however, that any serious design to disrupt and overthrow the Government rain, to soy considerable extent, in any portion of the coun try. The American heart revolts at the idea. What is the National Union r It is the basis of drinstnational right, the guarantee of peace, the security of religion, the bulwark ofall law and order. ft gives the *areal pledge of protection to the op. pressed children of other lands, who, coming from scenes of misery and discord, expect here harmony Sod peaceful refuge. It is literally "a beacon on the top of a mountain and an ensign on a hilt» to the lovers of rational liberty throughout the world. It was an emanation of the same pore spirit of conser vative freedom, of justice, and of truth, which con ceived, controlled and censer:welted our Resolution. ary struggle. It is the perfect work of disciplined . intelligence and rational patriotism. It is hallowed by the rich memories of the past, and by the consci., imam that its founders were the fatheri of the Re. public. It is sacred, as the sole remaining memorial of the enlightened labors of the best minds of an age, distinguished for its devotion to the cause of human rights, the elevation of man's social condi. tion, the investigates° of-political truths, and of re volutionary action against the dogmas and fanaticism of tyrannies and tyrants. The Union of the States is the outer and inner wall, which encircles and guards the temple oi . our independece. The Union alone secures to our com merce protection on every sea, defence to our eiti. UM on every shore, gives us a proud name among the nations of the earth, and ensures to the Repub lic an enlarged and glorious dcatiny. Its preserva tion ratthea the assurance that - man is capable of self.government, and that equal rights, equal laws, and equal privileges, aro alone the results of demo cratic institution*. The di...solution of the National Union would bo thebeginning of civil war, the strifii of ecotone, of amen of fraternal discord. It would raise the atm of the bondman amidst the horrors of servile war; and the destruction of a race of men aloe° would terminate the fearful struggle. Itwould involve conterminous States, acting as jealous atran gers, in vexatioue disputes about rightsof navigation, of tribute, of transit. It would sacrifice the faith of the nation. It would destroy the army and the na vy, and with- them the prood recollections of their early exploits. The trophies Of the nation would be dispersed, and the great communion of thought, of Bondsmen*, and of Interest, In which, for more than seventy years, we have gloried, would bo goon ferever. Deeply impressed by these considerations, and relying most confidently on the entire sympathies of the General Assembly of a State, which has never known an instant's disloyalty to the Union. I eel• emnly protest against the utterance of rash and ill. advised thoughts on a aubject so 'dear to our con mitnency, and more earnestly against all delibera tion by moans of conventions, or other modes of action, unknown to the Constitution, and having for their object, either the dissolution of the Union, or the discuesion of sectional and hazardous questions, for the decision of which, the Constitution has made ample provision. Pennsylvania venerates and cher ishes the unimpaired institutions of our fathers. With the fervent prayer that Almighty God will so direct the deliberations of the General AMOS: bey, that w peace and happiness, truth and justice, religion and piety, may be established among us for all generations,” the suggeations and recommit.; idations 'contained in this annual message are re apectfully submitted for your consideration and ac tion.
