DAILY MORNING POST SATURDAY MORNNQ GOVERNOR'S MESSAGE To the Honorable, the Senators end Members of the Houle of Repruentatiose of the General ..ls sembly Gramemen:—Whilst the events of the year just closed, present many causes of joy and congratulation, and afford abundant reason fu thankfulness to a benifloent Providence for hie goodness and mercy—our prosperity and happi ness, as a people, I regret to say, haft not bean unalloyed. The general growth of the country, the progress of the arts and sciences, and other causes of moral and social comfort, have not, it is true, been interrupted; but the late of vale t ble lives and property, by the casualties of the elements, has been unusual, both in number and extent; and in certain sections of our Commoe wealth the afflictions of pestilence and discs -e have also been sorely felt. Nor should we esti mate lightly the suffering that manifestly exists amongst the poor in our cities and towns. Tie 'drought of the season deprived the husbandman, to some extent of the anticpated rewards of h , s labor, and lessened the means of human 81.0,- 1 sistence ; whilst the depression in monetary and I business affairs, has deprived many laborers and mechanics of their usual earnings. The means of subsistence are thus greatly enhanced in value, at the same time that the opportunities of earning them are much diminished. The field for charity is consequently wider than usual; and to meet its reasonable demands on the.part of those blessed with an abund will be to sustain the. ehristian character, Mid measurably to merit the continued bounty of !leaven. The operations of the Treasury for the last year, will be presented to you in detail, by the head of that department. The results are highly satisfactory, ehowing a eteadlly increas ing revenue from nearly all the ordinary sources. The aggregate receipts for the fiscal year of 1854, including loans and the balance in the Treasury, on the 30th of November, 18K, amounted to the sum of $6,665,912 01. The gross paymente for the same period, to the sum of $6,424,983 29; leavings balance on the 3016 of November, of $1,240,929 72. The extraordinary payments consisted of the following items, to wit: loans repaid,, $2.32,• bSS 40; to the North Brancheanal, 2.06,552 76; to the construction of the new railroad over the Allegheny mountains, $461,921 03 ; to the per• ment of debts on the public works, $859,916 38. Of the balance remaining in the Treasury, portion is applicable to the payment of the State debt, and the remainder to current de mands. The simple, or ordinary operations of the Treasury for the same period, were as follows, to wit : the receipts, exclusive of loans mad the balance in the Treasury on the 30th of Norem tier, lbsB, realized from permanent soure -s, amounted to the sum of 5,218,0011 00 The ordinary expenditures, including the interest o the State debt and all the payments on the finished lines of the public works, excluddag the payments on new works and loans, amounted to $4,110,74 84 ; being 1,101,490 15, less than toe receipts. This statement may be regarded as the work ings of the Treasury simplified ; and as estab lisbing the gratifying fact, that the present re liable revenues of the State, exceed the orditiary or unavoidable expenditures, over a million of dollars; and that, relieved from the demands for the construction of new improvements, the Treasury could pay a million or more of the public debt annually. It will also be perceived that the income from theme sources is steadily in creasing. For instance, 1840, with the State tax at present rates, and the same extent of im provemente in use, with nearly all the present sources of TlMOlLtieljll operation, the gross re ceipts amount to but little over three ant a half millions. No more reliable estimate of the operations of the Treasury for 1855 can be made, than is fur Molted in the results for 1854. The ordinary receipts may be safely estimated at a million of of dollars above the unavoidable expeuditures A portion of this excess will be required to complete the new Portage railroad, and the North Branch canal; and the remainder slocu'.d he faithfully applied toward the payment of the State debt. The aggregate receipts on the pubic works) for the past year, as reported by the Canal Colo miss over, amounted to the sum of $1,870,078 ; and the expenditures to the sum of $1.101,- 570 54 ; leaving a balance of $774,508 34, from which, however, ahould be deducted the sum of a;;;7,900, properly chargeable to the year, for new locomotives and other unavoidable exp.?, 10,0.0 i—thus reducing the net profits to $734 '• 608 :le. If we add to this, $131,000 00 received from the Pennsylvania railroad for the three mill tax, which is claimed by some os a part of the income from the public works, we find a net revenue of $807,000; o sum equal to the inter est en seventeen millions of the five per coot ..I,bt of the State. The aggregate receipts were $57,121 less than for the year 1853, and tho re deletion in expenditures amounted to over $159,- 287. The withdrawal of the business ,f the Pennsylvania railroad from the Portag , road, readily accounts for this difference. Viewed in every aspect, this exhibit is grati fying. Few similar systems of improvement in the country can present a more favorable pic ture. Some of them, in other States, have re cently been reduced to a condition of virtual it, solvency. The increase of business on the State works for the two last years, has exec. ded our anticipations; and but for the necessity which seemed to exist for a reduction ha tolls to meet surrounding competition, the revenue would have been largely increased. The Feuer al movement now on foot amongst railroad com panies, to advance these rates, may perhaps. relieve the State to someextent in this respect. The Delaware division makes a most gratify ing exhibit. The gross receipts counted $3 0 5,- 327,07, and the expenditures $59,738,07, show ing a net profit of $305,688,40 ; a sum equal to the interest on six millions of the public debt, and to 20 per cent. en the original cost of the work, including the expenditures for new looks. TheiNorth Branch canal and the Columbia rail road also present favorable results. The busi ness and tolls on the former have increased with marked rapidity; and the management on both those branches bear the marks of skill and economy. The expenses on the Allegheny Portage road have been largely reduced, and the business bptter regulated than at any former period. As whole, I feel con strained to say, that the condition of the public works has been improved during the last year ; in no other particular, to su valuable an extent as in the matter of motracting debts, which it seems has been almost entirely avoided. The officers on the:respective lines report that they have paid all expenses: and some of them have gone so far as to say to the Canal Beard that they will be personally responsible for any debts that hereafter be discovered. This is truly a great reform—for nothing has cost the State eo much, as the pernicious practice of making debts on the public works. I still think it should be interdicted by positive law. In my last message I glove my views at length, as to the principles and rules that should control in the management a the State improvements, and I need not repeat them in this. I would re• spectfully suggest, however, that so much of the law as binds the Canal Commissioners to a fixed rate of tolls for the whole season, should be re pealed. The officers directing the operations of the public works should, it - seems to me, be left free to meet the exigencies in trade and commerce, as they may arise. The work - on the Illbuntain railroad has pro gressed slowly, and it is obvious that it will not be fully completed before the summer of 1855. I must confess myself sadly disappointed as t, the time nod money consumed in the construc tion of this work. The expenditures, sines I came into office, have greatly exceeded the whole , amount estimated as necessary to complete the line; and yet, it is but justice to say, that the Peansylvania - railroad, lying parallel with it has cost a still larger sum per mile. •I have endeavored, during my service, to guard against the commencement of sottemeaot this or any other character, to entail futurodta billies on the Treasury. This ought to be the settled policy of the State. No new improve ments should be undertaken, upon any pretext 1. - • :7.1. of , t r • IA 1 . • i. I. U e • • I. trU nL 0.

If this policy be pursued, no other financial scheme, to pay the debt, will be nece sary. The large annual surplus will reduce the State's indebtedness with sufficient rapidity. ::JANUARY 6. I regret, exceedingly, the necessity of an nouncing to you that the North Branch canal is not yet in fall operation. It is now more than a year since the Canal Commissioners directed the water to be let into the main trunk of that im provement, an , declared their confident belief, that it would be in successful operation by the middle of last summer ; but their sanguine ex pectations, as well as those of the people, have, in this respect, been sadly disappointed. A va-, riety of unforseen difficulties presented them. selves in the way of the attainment of this end. The old work, constructed some twelve or fifteen years since, es well as some sections,of the new, located on the bill side, on the margin of the river, when te.ted by the admission of water, turned out to be porous, and totally insufficient in its material and formation. In some instan ces rocks, roots, trees and stumps, have been coucealed under the bottom of the canal chan nel, covered only by a few inches of earth ; thus presenting but a slight obstruction to the pas sage of the water out into the bed of the river. This is especially the case in much of the old work. In all each sections or places, no reme dy, short of a recuostroc•ion of the bottom of the canal, could prove sufficient; and this was necessarily a tedious and expensive process. There is still a considerable portion of the work to remodel in thin way; bat it is confidently be lieved that it will be ready for use In the early part of the coming season. That the utmost skill and vigilance has at all times been exhibit ed by toe agents of the State, on this line, I do not believe ; but the defieiency, in this particu lar, on the new work, hoe not been so palpable ae alleged by some. Indeed, since May last, great energy has characterized the management On this line; the President of the Catial Board having devoted much of his time to a personal supervision of the work. But it is obvious, no degree of capacity in the State's agents, for the lust year, could have overcome all the difficulties that were encountered, with snfficient celerity to have entirely satisfied public expectation. At the time I came into office, the sum neces sary to complete this work was estimated at $772.000. Since that time the sum of $1,306,- 532 72 has been expended, and it will still re quire, as setimuted by the Canal Board, 60,000 to put it into complete operation. Whilst I regret this unforseen cost and delay, I cannot refrain from repeating my unfaltering confidence ia the wisdom of the policy that die. toted the , ',:mpietion of this work. The large incrcsse of business Find MIS for the year just cl.sed, au the older portion of the line, indiCatee WiiSt we may eifely anticipate from the new I /, I cannot doubt, that the gross amount of hueiuess it cal command, and the revenue it will yield, will exceed the most sanguine ex pectations of its advcesstes. The inexhaustible mines of coal with which that section of thy Stvte abounds. the products of which are des ttued to pa's through this avenue to a limittesq ntakt-t, will furnish for it a Lever foiling sup- ply of tiniiness and tcunage. Besides, its cora -1 boon act of justice to the industri ous and euterpribing inhabitants of that part of the Commonwealth, who bare heretofore willing. iy contributed towatds the construction of tho other improvements of the State, from which' they etutil derive but little advantage. It will, - a•la to the general prosperity of the adja cent country ; to the value of ,property, and coniequently to the revenues of the State.

New locke on the Delaware di sundry bpeciAl pqmeutm The foregoing figures exhibit. the astonishing fact, that the Treasury has beet, annually paying over a million of dollars towards the construe tion of new improvements. and at the same time accomplished a small reduction of the pub lic debt. As made my duty, by an act of the Legisla ture. apiroved the 27th of April last, providing for the sole of the main line of the public works, sealed proposals for Its purchase were invited, up to the first Monday of July last. No otters were matte under this invitation; and public notice was again given, on the 14th of November last, in accordance with the 29th sec tion of the act, for proposals, to be submitted to the General Assembly, but none have been received. This improvement is, therefore, still the property of the State, subject to such dis position as the Legislature may deem necessary. My mind has undergone no change on the subject of soiling the public works since the period of my last message. I think the policy of the measure depends mainly upon the price that can he obtained, and the conditions on which purchasers may be willing to hold these works for the use of the public. With a full and fair consideration, and on terms amply pro tective of the rights and, interests of the people, in the future enjoyment of these highways, a sale might not prove injurious to the public weal. But it is certainly neither wise nor poli tic to assume that they must he sold for what ever can be obtained; or that they should, in any event, be given away. Nothing could have o more prejudicial effect upon the intermits of the State, as involved in these initrovements , than the avowal of such a determination. Nor is it less unwise to disparage the value of the Commonwealth's property at the very moment of putting it in market for sale. No intelligent private citizen would so act in reference to kris own estate.. Ile would hardly give notice to , capitalists, in advance, that he would sell his farm for a fair price ; but if unwilling to pay such reasonable consideration, they.could have it for half the money. Nor would such a per son proclaim, that of all the farms in the cotta try, his was the least productve. It is certainlysthe wish' of many good citizens . of the State—perhaps of the majority—that the, public works should be sold ; but this desire isl evidently based upon the assumption that thei measure would be ono of real economy—that it . Would. lessen, without the hazard of increatiN, their annual taxes. The realization of such an object, it must be perceived, then, depends en tirely upon the price and terms. Those who MEE desire a sale, certainly expect the State to be the gainer by such a measure. Na other im portant or sufficient reason for parting with this property has been assigned. It is usually said that the works should be sold to pay the public debt and lessen the bur theca of the people: bat it must be observed that a sale might be made at a price far too low to effect such purpose; and if so, to give them away would be still lees likely to produce the desired result. Should the gross sum received not be equal to that on which the net earnings would pay the interest, then the effect would be to increase, rather than diminish, these annual burthens. This is not what the people desire to accomplish by a pale; nor will they be satis fied with such disposition of their property. The real value of the publio works is a propo sition full of difficulty; and I doubt not the General Assembly will approach the inquiry, .duly impressed with its importance. Ten mil lions of -gases was fixed, by the law of last ses sion, asthe price for the main line. The mini mum is , said by some, to be too high, and the failure to sell, regarded as the consequence. Others attribute the absence of bidders to the condition of the money market—to the stringent restrictions imposed upon the law; and to the efforts that had been previously made to dispar age the value of the line. But it is obvious that more than one of these causes may have oper ated ; and a greater than all may have been the hope of getting this property on better tame at a future time. I feel very confident that the latter consideration was not without its influ ence. But, be this as it may, it is certainly wiser to fail to sell from any one of these causes, than to hazard the weeks in the market, without any restriction or limitaticsa as to price or con ditions. A bad sale would assuredly be a greater misfortune than no sale at aIL The benefits resulting to the people from these improvements have been numerous-and di versified. They have facilitated trade and cat merce ; stimulated prodnetive incinatri in every department; and have not only edsbled the farmer to reach a ready market with -the fruits of his labor, but have furnished convenient on lets for the rich mineral treasures of the State. Without them, the miner would be deprived of his occupation, the, transporter be left in help less destitution, and the Commonwealth itself be permitted to retain a parsimonious possession of vast masses of natural and unproductive riches. Our predecessors- were wise in opening these avenues to trade and commerce ; and if we wish to be ratedmrise hereafter, we shall not rashli and hastily throw away the advantages of their future use. This use, to the full extent, in the event of a sale, can only be secured by a jealous protection of the right of the people to enjoy it. The very fuirt — readitions of such a measure should be, that the works, and every branch of them, be kept at all times in good order and in operating conditipp, and remain forever public highways, for the use of all persons who may wish to transport goods or merchandise over them, upon rates not greater than those charged upon other similardmprovements. No corpora tion ehould get possession of these valuable avenues on sea , conditions as would enable it to impose unreasonable burthens on the internal trade and tonnage of the State, or in any way to encroach upon• the rights of the individual citi zen. To obviate each results, the powers, priv ileges and restrictions of any corporation get ting the works, should be minutely defined. Pact experience suggests these prudential coun sels; for we have often seen in this State how difficult it is to confine the operations of these artificial bodies within the limits prescribed by the law ; and we should not fall to profit by the 850,000 00 $41.004,457 48 1,057,i , 56 11) - - 1,10:,019 54 $'3U,'JOO 537 84 $1;71,01)0 15 :i+'765,929 00 1,117,955 93 52,368 00 1,206,352 76 100,319 99 95,353 71 $3,086,778 05 NUMBER 121. lesson. By the twenty-ninth section of the act of the 9th of May last, providing for the ordinary ex penses of government and other purposes, Nim rod Strickland, of Chester county, John N. Par 'lance, of Butler county, and John Strohm, of Lancaster county, were named as commissioners to settle certain claims and debts against the Commouwcaltb. It was also made the duty of the Governor to supply, by appointment, any vacancy in this commisaian which might occur. The gentlemen already named having declined to serve, I accordingly appointed William W. Williamson, of Chester county, William Buglish, of Philadelphia, and John C. Magill, of West moreland county, in their stead. After a tedious and laborious investigation, these gentlemen have completed the du,ty.sts signed to them, and the result will be communi cated to you, in detail, in their own report. I regret to perceive that the accounts so ex amined and settled exceed the amount of the appropriation nearly $150,000. It is well, how ever, to see the end of claims of this character; and having accomplished this, it will bp prudent td, guard against the occurrence of a similar state of affairs. Indeed, the practice of con ficacting debts on the public works should be at once and forever abandoned. It has been al fruitful eource of confusion in the accounts, if not of palpable wrong upon the Treasury. The right to scatter the credit of the Commonwealth in this unguarded way, is, I venture to assert, without a parallel in the management of public affairs. Of the many defects in the system of managing the State improvements, this has been the most productive of evil. In my first, as also in my last annual message, I most earn-. eetly urged the General Assembly to provide, by law, that no debt should be contracted by the officers on the public works ;—that the necessary labor and material to maintain these works should be paid for in cash—and that each officer should be, compelled to settle his accounts promptly. 'The examinations just made demon strate still more clearly the necessity for such reform. . Repeated attempts have been made to repeal as much of the act incorporating the Pennsylva nia Railroad Company as requires it to pay into the Treasury annually a certain per ventage on the amount of tonnage which may pass over that road, as au equivalent for the privileges granted by the Commonwealth: but the Gene ral Assembly have as repeatedly rejected the proposition; and I sincerely hope that ao long as the State may need the revenue from this source, all future attempts to sooompliah this end may meet a similar fate. Having been connected with the legislation which brought this Company into existence, and clearly cognisant of the motives and pur poses which governed the Legislature in im posing this condition on the grant, I can discover no reason in subsequent events to justify the relinquishment of this valuable reservation; but many, on the contrary, to sustain its justice and utility. The discussions pending the incorporation of the company, will' best indicate the object of this restriction. The construction of a railroad from Harrisburg to Pittsburgh, parallel with the State works, was very properly urged as indispensably necessary. to meet the wants of the traveling public, midi to enable our metropolis to compete auctteeefolly with other commercial cities. The very first! and moat formidable difficulty which presented itself in the way of this enterprise, was them= judicial effect such a work might have upon the business and profits of the main line of the pub lic. Improvements. It was urged on the one hand, that the State works had been constructed at the expense of the people of the entire Com monwealth—that those residing in the extreme. portions of the State, as well as those of the in terior, hal, annually, contributed towards the. payment of the interest on the debt which had thus been contracted; and, therefore, the Login-. lature could not, consistently with the principles of justice and equity, make a pant that would' depreciate the value of property which belonged to all, for the purpose of fostering the growth! and prosperity of a particular portion of the' State. Good faith and correct moral principle, forbade such action. On the other hand, it was alleged that the increased business which such , an improvement would throw upon the Columbia r.tilrodd, and the enhanced value of property ad j.,oent to the proposed road, from 'high the State Sould derive increased revenue in the form of taxes—would conetitute an ample remenera-t tion to her coffers, and thus do full justice to the people as the owners of the works to be affetatai.l But a majority of the Legislature concluded that some additional benefits were demanded, and hence the adoption of the provision to which I have referred. The stock was subscribed with a full edge of this reservation, and the acceptance of the charter by the company, was the coneumL oration of a solemn agreement between them and the State. Yet, under the specious plea that it imposes a tax on trade, the Commonwealth is now asked to RATES OF ADTiESITISBIO 4GRESD UPON Br THE PITTRBC 808 Mad each B.lllltkrnal insertion_. owe we5t....._.._ ..... 174 two 3 O' throe ....... 400 one 100 t 00 throe ..... 041 !taw 10 00 air mantha—.- - ,au--... Minding Odd, dx lbws or lesx, per One square, per annum, (terminates of the SO 00 relinquish this condition; and the ease Married as though it had been the policy of the law, that the company should impose this charge of three mills per ton upon every spades of property which may pass over its road; and in this way it is very readily shown that., on coal, iron, lum ber and other cheap tonnage, this charge would be too great. But the company are obliged to assess this tax on all kinds of tonnage ; nor was it the intention of the sot that they should do so. The design was to make an exaction from the nett profits of the company, for the nee of the public coffers, as a compensation for a valua ble grant, and thereby. protect the public -im provements from the oompetlon of this new rival. The tax on tonnage, therefore, was intended to indicate only the mode of ascertaining the Alum to be paid, and not the specific tonnage on which it should be charged. When the sum is Inthis way ascertained , it matters not to the Blain how the company obtains the money; whether if be by charges on freight, 'or on passeagers- . —Ms. lo cal, or on through tonnage. Should; therefore, certain kinds of tonnage be improperly oppress- t ed, the fault is with the company, noels the law. And surely it will not be contended that the pro tection thus thrown around the works of ,the State is =necessary ' --so far from this, the wisdom and utility of this, future - of the com pany's charter has alremly; hem mad, manifest. The very exigency anticipated by the Legisla ture has arisen : the competition of the railroad is already seriously felt by the main line. Re lieved from this restraint, but a meagre portion of the carrying trade would be left for that branch of our improvements. Nor will it be contended that, the Commonwealth does not need this source of revenue. But, viewed alone, as a matter interesting, to the owners and transporters of tonnage, whet gumantee would they have that the rates of transportation would be reduced, were this tax taken off ? None whatever. The oompany could charge se heretifore, and thus realize the amount of the tax in addition to their present profits. If they should do this, their action would differ froth that of similar corporations under like cir cumstances. But to admit, what is claimed, that • redueion in the charges of transportation to a similar extent, would take place, it must be perceived would duplicate the loss to the State; for she would not only thereby lath the sweet of the three mill tax, but be deprived of vetry large portion of tonnage which would be attract ed to the company's road by this reduction in the rates of transportation. We are thus brought to the simple inquiry, whether. the State shall retain this valuable income, to which she is so _ justly entitled, or whether shi. shall give it do the railroad company. Most certainly the lat ter alternative should not be adopted, so long as the question of selling the State improvements remains undecided. • Ae a mere revenue measure, this tax midi totes an important and increasing item in;the annual receipts of the Treasury., In the yeer 1853, it amounted to the slim of $74,000, and for the. year 1854; to $131,000. That this amount will be materially increased hereafter, it self-evident. If this important item be withdrawn from the sinking fund, there will be but little left - to sustain its operationt. I am aware that these views may be met with the plausible argument that trade and commerce should not be thus burthened—that the Weals prejudicial to the basilica of the State. This is true to a certain extant ; and should have its fill weight in the adjustment of a question of this character. Bat it will scarcely be contended that trade and commerce should he sustained by contributions from a needy Treasury: On this Principle, it could as reasonably be maintained that the State should make no charges whatever for the use of her own works. The administration of Coy. Shenk commenced the cancellation of the relief issues ; and that of ' my immediate predecessor arrested the process, leaving $650,163 00 of this unsightly currency in circulation. In the spring of 1858, the policy of cancellation wee again resumed; and op to 'this date, $485,884 88 bad been received into the sinking fund, applicable to that purpose, leaving the meagre sum of $164,778 12, to pro vide for. The gratifying fact is apparent; there fore, that, without any further legislation on this subjecC the entire outstanding balance of ielief notes can be withdrawn from circulation and de etioyed during the current year. It is true that these issues have not come into the Treasury as rapid' y as the funds for their cancellation have accumulated, and that, co , sequently, a portion of the receipts have not ken intheted; but this difficulty will be obviated fn June next, when the law will go into operation which forbids the banks and receiving officers of the Common wealth to pay out these issues, and requires-them to be presented at the Treasury for cancelled* We shall, therefore, soon see the last of a enr rency which has polluted the channels of circu lation for thirteen years past; and I trust that the lesson thus taught has been quite sufficient to warn us against similar errors for all time to come. My opinions on all questions that concern the currency, have been so often expressed, that they must be well known to the Legisiature, and need not be given, at length, in. this nominal:dele tion. Without, at any time, assuming it would be wise for this State, regardless of the policy of other Commonwealths, to dispense suddenly end entirely with banks of issue, it halt been uniformly held that the amount of banking cap ital u a basis for paper circulation. should be closely limited to the urgent wants of commerce and trade. If the experience of the country is worth anything at all, it has demoutrated the correotnese of this policy; and that the use of small bank notes should be discouraged audios bidden. In accordance with this vj ew of the subject, I have, on past occasions, : refused to sanction any extensive increase of Winking cap ital. • Every , commercial Country is liable to alter nate seasons of eAdtement and depression; to - periods of extravagant over-trading, followed by ruinous revulsion. The reaction now felt is the inevitable, if not the natural counterpart of an undue expansion of credit, in the form of bank paper, railroad, State and corporation bonds and - individual obligations. In those States where -- the free, or stock-banking system had stimulated' the expansion, the workings, of the reaction have . been disastrous. In our own beloved 0011M1011- wealth the shook has been, sensibly felt, though far less severe than in other parts of the conatry. Her partial escape, it is believed, is mainly owing - to her prudent ant reetrictivo policy in the use of bank credit. It is, at least, very clear, that had the free, or stook-banking plan, at onetime so settionaly advocated, been adopted is this State, or had our present system been greatly expanded, the, position of affairs in our eenneer cial metropolis would not have beenso tamable as at present. Had the natural tendeney to speculation received this artificial adulate-et— the limits of safety, like the lessons of experi ence, would have been passed unheeded; as it is, some gpod men, in the pursuit of usednlau terpriees, have been prostrated. It is most. un fortunate, that under this MUM*, all mat suffer alike. Those who profit least by thelex pension, are often effected most by the eantrae tion. This is especially the ease with labor, which is uniformly the last to be elevated in times of prosperity, and the first to go down is those of depression. The banks, as a general rule, make the moat out of these convulsiosa. It - is often their error to flatter the merchant and trader when the tide of prosperity enmities, and to forsake him on the first sppearanos of its ebbing. Even sound banks and of good repute, it is said, are seeking to make money out of the present crisis, by sharing their capital and its . benefits with brokerewnd jobbers, itisteadefild ing the business community at legitimate raise. How far these allegations are warranted, it is difficult to decide; but it ie to be hoped that few, if any of oar banks are justly liableto this charge, for such a practice would be highly im proper, and well calculated to excite discontent. Such a departure from legitimate business would demand a prompt remedy at year hinds: It may be difficult to confine these to their proper business, with the pitsga4t of bet ter profits in other quarters; but they should be made to feel that they have been created fm a higher purpose thin merely to ouriokt4to stock holders. • The crisis lea. trying.
