Flom the Harrisburg Reporter, Jan. 15.
This day et 19 o'clock according to a rr ecae -
Monts, Gov. PORTER wOs inaugurated, in the
presence of both Houses, and an tit tomise concourse
of citizens.
After taking the urinal the of °See. Gm. Poe
'MA delivered the follow;
INAUGU RA ADDRESS.
Deeply impressed with serum of gratitsde to my
t oi ow ci tiz e ns for the distinguished mark of conh
dente reposedM nie, 1 enker upon the arduous and
responsible duties of Oovernor.ofPennsylvania, with
a full determination, acconhog to the abilities given
me, to do my duty faithfdlly.
A co mpliance with custom would seem to require
d in e, when assuming wet dirties of the Psecutive,
ii,'persoaors of the choute of the people, to lay be.
fore them some of the leading principles upon which
the administration of the gOvernment will be conduct
ed. I do this the mote wplingly because, in a re.
public, the intercourse beren the people-and their
public functionaries ghou l
be candid, frank and on
werved.
. Educated with the highest veneration and great
est affection for the men and principles of the A
merican Revolution, it will always give me pleasure
to refer to the one .as examples,'and to the other as
guides, in the performance of duty. Admitting to
its fullest extent, the importance of preserving, un
sullied, the inestimable and unalienable right of the
people to govern theineelnes, I shall ever give my
best efforts to prevent encroachment upon that right.
SO long as Man coatir,ues the being he is, error
must be expected both in his individual and eollec.
tire conduct. He may be'expected to err upon sud
den impulses, but an intelligent community will
rarely fall deliberately hile error. Hence the delib
crate expression of the pciiples' will should always
furnish the rule of conduct to those Alm represent
them in :public stations.
A new era has arrived M our Commonwealth,—
Oar first Constitution, formed amidst the stortnaand
troubles of the' revolutionary, conflict, was found in
practice not to answer the expectations under which
It was framed. In fourteen years thereafter it was
entirely new modelled by:the Constitution of 1790;
an instrument framed by wren of great talents and
e minent:worth, but the plan of government way al
ways considered, 'by no &Mall portion of the people
as not sufficiently deinciesktic in its details. After
repeated attempts to procure revision, a majority of
par citizens who voted on the question, in 1835 de
cided that a Convention should be called to revise,
alter and spend the Constitution of the Common
wealth. In pursuance of this determination of the -
people, a 'Convention assemhled,and after a long and
arduous session, closed their labors on the twenty
se i-ond of February last, and the amendments agreed
upon by that body have beqn ratified and adopted by
the people; • and it is under this amended Constitu
tion that it has been my '-lot to be called upon to ad
minister the duties of theSixecutive. This instru
ment gives to popular su rage the decision of ma
ny appointments heretoforc, vested in the Executives
and changes the duration of the judicial tenure from
that of good behaviour to a', term of years. It short.
ens the period of eligibility; to the t xecutive chair,
end reduces the Senatortal term; enlarges the right
of sutfra.ge, and changes • other provisions, all of
which are important in the conchict of the go,vern
inent of the Stieft Approving as I did of tile a
mendments in the aggregate, and having sanction
ed them by my vote at the late election, it wilt
ford me great pleasure to assist in carrying then}
Out in practice, by a strict ac:herence to their prin.
Ciples.
It is a beautiful exemplification of the capacity of
the people for self government to ' see them, from
time to time, as exigencies may require, coaling to
gether, through their representatives, and quietly,
yet intelhgently and dispassionately, examining the
fundamental law of the land; aacertaming where it
has not answered its intended purposes, and cor
recting evils not foreseen at the time of its adoption.
The adoption of constitutions was a wise regale
ant to prevent the abuse of power, to limit acd re
strain ice exercise by public servants; to protect the
weak against the strung, arid to preserve the liber.
ties of the country from en

of the people in enacting al such laws as the iwien

that full, fair and candid t al of the instrument in
practiCe, which patriotism, now requires from all,
when the people have deciied on its acceptance.—
Whatever differences of op n opinion existed before
its adoption should now c.sse. It is the supreme
law of the land, and it is 4e duty of every branch
of the government, and evary good citizen, so to te
trad and respect it. -

i i
luxary,fcxtravagance and ppendagea of royalty are
!insulted to the habits, as ey are to the well being
Of a free people. Econo' . y in the various depart
ments of the governments not only required at all
times in a republic, but s peculiarly called for at'
l
this time, when such is I a magnitude of our State
debt, that mare than the Whole nett revenue is re.
quired to discharge its interest.
This debt, it to true, has been incurred in the
prosecution of schemes of internal improvement
unparalfelled in other days and States, which have
Leaden to increase our trade and develope our re
sources, and it may perhaps be fairly assumed that
they have increased the value of' *treat within the
commonwealth to the amount off their cost. 114tich
. of the funds of the State (have, however, been ex
pended on works of secondary Importance, and to
some instancesof double public utility, which re
ceived appr* lions from a course of legislation
in which a as given lo . thern to secure favour for
i f
greater and ore public inprovements—a system
of legislation universally ' donned to be wrong in
i,,
principle, and which oug t never to he adopted.
I respectfully solicit the .eo-bperation of all who
have the welfare of their country at heart, in put
ting an end to this course of legislation.
I have ever been the .friend and advocate of a ju.
dicious and liberal system kir public improvements,
essentially neecsaaiy, as I Always believed it, to the
great agricultural, manufahturing and commercial
interests of the c om monwealth—interests intimate
ly connected with, and ntotually dependant upon,
each other. Bet this system may be pushed be.
yond the means and resources of the common.
wealth. Such a coursemeld he avoided. We
t
have now in progress of nstruction, portions of
the main lines of our cane. ii, which ate, yet incom
plete, and which are necess ry to finish the chains
'of intercomtnumeation wi in our cuMmonwealth.
Their situation exhibits . o e portion of some of the
i h
-lines completed and riow'n a state of dilapidation
and decay, while other po ions of the same. line are
yet unfinished. The alte native then presented is,
ri l
shall these uncompleted mien lines be ahandoned v i
or shill every possible enerFy of the commonwealth
bp put in requisition for their completion? Unwil-
ILbg as lam needlessly to nc.rea4i the State debt,
the soundest dictates of p/blic policy and justice
require the adoption of the atter course, as the only
mode of making available tie large amounts alrea
dy expended upon them. „The resources of cape
talities of the regions thropkh which they pass will
be thereby developed. Astatine/ of trade to and
from the seaboard stllbe opened. New markets for
agricultural and mineral , prbducts will be furnished,
and the revenu e of the works already completed and
in operation greatly Omit . When these lines
l ed
shall have been completed, rodence would seem to
require that we should pau4e, and at least for a Ma
bbushel:ld our means aufl decrease the public li
aities.

By the provisions of the anteiided constitution,
notice is required to be given of all iotendiad ap
plications for the grant or reneatal of charters to
honking institutions. This provision will prevent
legislative action in relation to them at the•pres-
ent session, and;readers say eXpositiou of my
views on this delicate and artitititng subject un
necessary at this bale. •I shall ;take occasion in
s future commtwiestion to express them very de
finitely., and need only now say, ithst the hooking
capital of the• commonwealth has):reen increased of
late years heyood what I "belitive to have been
neeessare.--flaviort formed thta opinion deltber•
ately, I shall not be disposed to change it for
light reason.
There is in my l Sudgment a ittanifest impropri
ety In entangling connections between the govern.
tnent and the banking or trading institution of
the country, and I shell at all tames be ready to
co-operate in any measure whichi shall so seperate
the government from banking -Institutions. as to
leave each to the pursuit ace egrreise of their le-
Ottniate end', :without interferihg with those of
the othet.
'The creation /of corporations, where necessary to
accomplish purposes beyond the raach of individual
enterprise, has no doubt done much to advance the
citizens, geoeratiy, are moderate, "a they are tike to
be in a young and growing country, and where the
concentration of the capitals:Wm/41y is necessary to
do what, in older countries, trugt4 be accomplished
by individuals of greater wealth: As our country
becomes older and our wealth increases, the reasons
for multiplying these corporationi are to some ex-
tent removed. Although the? May be resorted to
with propriety where a baol ute y nOcesavv, their uo-
due creation -alei increase should be discouraged:
Corporations ought never to he created, where the
object to be accomplished is sviihin the probable
reach of individual exertion. They absolve men
from individual liability and may tend, 'hy undue
combinations and concentrated tuition, to embarrass
the operations of government, and interfere with the
popular anvereignty.
The position which our CommOnweelth occupies,
as a member of the Union, shoud never be lost sight
o:. Fur whilst, as to all the purposes not delegated
to the General Government she is an independent
sovereignty, yet as to all granted to the confedera•
tion or union, she must exercise , her authorities in
sutrdination to the General Government, evincing
a proper regard for; and -subordination to. that Gov
ernment in? 1111 things properly pertaining to it.
'f he governlnent of the State should ever exercise a
carefirl vigilance for the preservation of their own
rights, that the objects of the Codlederation may be
fiirly affected, and the harmony ilia system of Gov
ernment, without parallel to ancient or modern times,
be preserved in Shits bebuty and symmetry.
It is not sufficient that therO should he a cold
compliance in terms with tbe letter of our constnu
tion—there should- be a proper-ra tiona l feeling of
brotherhood kept up. We phottf exhibit in all fur
conduct, that we are members ut a great and power.
ful union of free States, who have made certain
terms and conditions by way ointutual conception
and compromise, in order to ptiontote the ge n er a l
god of the whole. The old article of confedera
tion, as well as the present constitution of the United
States, were the result of these feelings and these
comeesslons and compromises. A due reeled to
that good faith which should ever eharattiertzu the
conduct of republican Stales, wuptd seem to require
that a contract or compact of union, thus fauntd.
should be kept, not only inviolate in terms, but in
spirit also.
%Viten the in rant Stets?' of the Union united togeth
er in the revolution for thi common defeece, under
the feeble bonds of the old confederation ; and Wla'
necessity drove us to form something more definite
and binning, which brought about the comeittitton
of I7Sts, involuntary servitude was the subject of
much discussion, arrangement and concession.
It was finally 4:posed of in the manner pointed our
in the latter instrument. To agitate the question a
new, when it was thus satistactorly settled, is not
only unwise and impolitic, but to a virtual breach
of good faith to our brethren of the South. an unwar
rantable interference with their domestic relattons
and institutions, and is calculated to do postire inju•
ry to the Africao race there hold in servitude, for
whom, in her policy and within her !mil border.
Pennsylvania has always' shown a becoming °PT,
parity. L"n never. in the Anisl stuti al which I
occupy, consent to countenances course which may
jenpare the peace and harmony of .the Union, with
out answering .any good purpose in the end. It
shall meet with no encouragement at any hands.
Let Pennsylvaniakeep clear of all entangling al
hances, and she. has no political. consequences to
dread nor collisions to encounter;-and our experi
meet of the Union of the States, will be found to
work as harmoniously in practiee as it is beautiful
ha theory. - Flee people - are chef ieterixed by strong
practical common sense.and useful intelligence. It
not disposed, generally, to theorise and speculate,
they are, not thereby the lass -competent to judge f
correctly in matters of public pdtity.
As a inember of the Union nth° has stood forth i
manfully, under all circumstanees in support of re-
publican principles. A strict - construction of he •
Constitittion or tile United States; a reluctaned to
yield tette General Governmentany powers, ex-'
cent those expressly granted, orwhich follow by di
rect and necessary tinpneation from those so grant
ed; a rigid system of economy ,in public expendi
tures; the defination -and limitation by law , as far as
practicable, 'of the, duties of nubile furietionarieb i
and -a strict system of accountability in all publle
servants, are doctrines, in support of which she has I
ever - raised her voice. belieriq these to be correct
views, it will °Tined me pleasure, so far as the sub

A FRAGMENT.
—Twits wirderi.erear. dread winter! is
And the Wind. in tearful howlings swept around
A lime worn mansion. on a dreary moor.
Deserted and alone—opposed in silent majesty
Against the blasts of chill December! No sign
Of life re-echoed from its halls: the only sound
To break the silliness of the quyet , , was the storm
Le velling its cannonade of hailngauist its walls!,
In one lone room..
Who, was fretted by the pendent fronts,
And me stuccoed by the icicle—
There sat a sorrowing inmate-7cornfortlessmird chill—
The only creature it that bleak old place •
Shivering and cringing in the coid, with nought
Of covering but a wern•out blanket : " the winds
Of heaven • did tweed aunt her face tod roughly!"
And 'tween the howlings of the storm, she rose,
And in a voice. though weak, whichjar,ed thender
On the pakied sense, she spoke in sa d alolttoquv
- And is n I—who once wag worshipped as the proud
And hapity dmighter of a . noble race;
1, the vain wordly one, who In InYfUnde
Hate sneered at Those, whose lot 1 envy now I
Ant I thus desolate? drub the Omnipotent
No caste of honor recognize 1--doth be who holds
The storm-clond to his band, hurl it alike
At noble and at lowly? Alas! 'us true !"
With this +he poor lone creature shivered in the cold,
Hugged her scant covering clone around her form.
And murmured weepingly, "and be too, whom
In the blindness of my young affection. I loved—
A nd trusted in, ray foolish faith—he too bath left 1148
In my lone sadness—hero to dte—alone!--alone?
AP no! Ili sees, forgives,atni pities me!"
Then in the fullness of a contrite heart, she prayed!!
Till God in pity ( . 4 her woes, took her to that abode,
Where - nought decetveth, and where all is goody"
