Abont two hundred persons were in attendance from all parts of the State. CoL Hiram Hultz. of Allegheny presided, as sisted by sixteen Vice Presidents and Sezre taries. There was considerable talent in the Convention, and a more respectable and de: termined body of . men, composed of the same number, we feel confident never assem bled at the Seat of Government. The result of the recent canvass, the conditions on which . the Temperance men agreed to accept a dif ferent issue from that which they petitioned for, and which was forced upon them by the last Legislature, were fully and calmly discus sed; and in view of all, strong Prohibitory resoluliints were unanimously adopted—ask ing the Legislature to enact such a law.

EDITORS op Altszna' Jotritsrat.-,—Gers fienitn:-:---A few- weeks ago I raw in your paper a communication from a ScbuylkilL.Haven corres 'pendent, recommending as a candidate for our next Sheriff. Dr. LEWIS ROYER, of Schuylkill Hi .ven. at that time, thought the matter quite premature; but I since perceive that there are numerous candidates, each tone , warmly recom mended by his particular frieris. I do not doubt the- ability and competency of any of the persons recommended; but one thing to be observed .is the place .of residence of the different persons recommended. All except Dr. ROYER are from the Coal Region, and if I mistake not,•all from the linrongh of Pottsville. Now, in Jude» to different portions of the County, and somet h tag s ] ike a reivonahle apportMnment of the (Zees. should not this erid of-the County ,be_en titlr 1 t , , the next Sheriff? It is certainly' Well known by our Pottsville friends, that they are Recueed of partiality, by the azrirultaral Oltricp in the southern portion of th" County, in reqUesting too many of the offices. Sow, ater basing: bad two ruceesaive Sheriffs, be liheral„and help us-in the election of the 'Doctor. Th T ,e who are acquainted with Dr. Rorzn, know him to be we.:: uitod fur the office: to those who not ,1 can safely say that in case of, his elec tion (”F which I doubt nut), they will not be die patistied.— , A FARMER. ;11- HA fp, Jun. 80855. • . Our correspondent is .simply mistaken— this candidates are not all from Pottsville. Thy only persona, on our side of the political fen c o, whose names have appeared in, piint in this er;nnection, or who have authorised their 11.. therewith. so far as we know, are Dr. Roy et (of Schuylkill Haven), Mr. John RitcVand - 17 , J. John P. Hobart of this place, Mr. Daniel Koch. of Middleport, and Mr. John D. Boyer, Tamaqua --each of whom; no doubt, has his (m u peculiar claims upon the party for the nomination; and . either, we are free - to say, would doubtless make a good Sheriff.— While we desire to publish nothing,- thus far in &tepee of the nomination, to prejudice the Chances . of ,any one of the gentlenien named. we ars. anxious that all should have a hearing.' and`. oecnii'y the same hating' before the pc;,,pfc. - As to the loeal claims referred to, we have a lwaYg.advomted a fair and equal distribution of popular favor, throughout the County ;at the same time we have a much 'higher regaid . for the personal virtues and. qualifications of candidates than for their whereabouts. Let us nominate good men—and only good meu, for office, it matters not when they hail from. I=2 issvarat Mum, GOVERNOR ;14E8 POLLOCK. Jaaniiry is, lass. . , Fiezzow CITIZEN/ :—Custom sanctions, and de mands, a brief declaration of the 'principle's and policy; to be adopted and• pursued j by an Exeeu. live about to assume the functions' of that office. The character of ourinstitations demonstrates the propriety of such ,declaration. All the juin pow ers of the Government emanate from the people, and to them should be communicated the manner in 'which it is pruposWi to execute the powers con fined. '• ! ' ! The people are sovereign; and. in the exireisel of their sovereignty, they have r , ordained and' established" a constitution for thej!govertunent: of the State. That. constitution, I have this day, in the presence '..61 . ply fellow citizens, and of Him , I who is die searcher of hearts—and with humble reliance on Its wisdom to direct-,'-sworn to sup port. The high powers therein delegated to,the respective and co-ordinate branchis of the Gov ernment are Clearly expressed andl defined. Side by side with the grant of powers, stands:the decla ration of the rights of the people,, : recognizing the general, great and essential principles of liberty and free government. To guard against the trans gression of the poWers delegated; -'and to preserve forever inviolate the rights, libertine, and privi leges of the citizen, thus declared,!will be both a duty and a pleasure; in full harmony .with every 1 sentiment of my heart, every imptilse of my an tune. Republican Institntions are thelpride, and just 'ly the glory of our 'Country. Tolenjoy them is our privilege, to maintain them our duty. Civil and religions liberty—freedom of speech, and of 3e press, the rights of conscience,:and freedom of orship—arethe birthright and the boast of the American citizen. No royal„•edint, no pontifical decree, can restrain or destroiti them:, In the en joyment of these blessings, the rich and the poor, the high and the low, meet together—the consti tution, in its full scope and ample developement, /shields and protects :them all. When these rights are assailed, these Privileges endangered, either by mad ambition, or by influences: foreign to the true interests of the'Nation, and et war with love of country=that noble impulse of the American heart, which prompts it to revere: home and na tive land as sacred Objects of its effections—it is then the ballot-box in its omnipotence, speaking in thunder tones the will of the :people,rebukes the wrong, and vindicates the freedom o the man —theindependence of the eitizen. To the Amer leanpeople have theie blessings been committed as a sacred trust; they are, and; must_ever be, their guardians and defenders. 1 The Anierican citizen, independent, and free, nninfiuenced b e y partizan attachments, unitised by ecelesiastiChl authority or gliostlyj intolerance—in the strength of fearless manhood; and in the hold assertion of his rights—should eihibit to the ;world a living illustration of the superior benefits of American Republicanism; preclaiming a true and single al legiance to his conntry, and to no other, power but "the God that' inade and preserves us as a Nation." I : Virtue, intelligence, and truth are the founda tion of our Republic. By these ear institutions and privileges can,;and wilt be preserved. Igno rance is not the mother of patriotism, or of Re , publics. It is the enemy and deitroyer of both. Education, in its epiightening, elevating and re forming intluenees,in the full power of its benefi cent results,. should be encouraged by the State. Net that mere intellectual culture that leaves the mind a moral waste, unfit to understand the du ties of the man or citizen, but Mit higher educa tion, founded.upon; directed and controlled by sound and elevated Moral principle—that recog nizes the Bible as the foundation of true knowl edge, as the text-book alike of the child and the American Statesman, and as the great charter and bulwark of civil and religious freedom. The .knowledge thus acquired is the power _conserva tive of States and nations; more potent in its en- ergy to uphold the institutions of freedom and the rights of man, ti tan armies and navies in their proudest strength. The framers of o ut constitution understood this, and wisely provided tor the establishment of sChools and "the promotion of - the arts and sciences, in one or more seminaries of learning," that the ad vantages of education might be enjoyed by all. r • To improve the efficiency of this . system, nob Only by perfecting 'our common schools, but by encouraging and aiding "one or more" higher lit erary institutions, in which teachers can be train ed and qualified ; and to increase the fond appro priated to educational.purposes; are objects which will at all times receive my willing ' approval.— Money liberally, yet wisely expended in the pur suit and promotion of knowledge is true economy. ' ' The integrity of this system and its fund must be preserved. No'division of this fund for, political or sectarian purposei shoal(' ever be made or at- tempted. To divide, is to destroy. Party and ' ,sectarian jealousies' i would he engendered; the unity and harmony sif •the system destroyed;, and its noble objects frustrated and defeated. Bigotry, might rejoice, patriotism would weep over such a result. • I In the performanne! of the duties now devolved upon me, it will be any desire to aid, by all consti tutional and legal means, the development of the resources of the State; and to encourage and pro mote her agricultural, minkrig, manufacturing and' commercial interests; A kind Providence has be- ,stowed upon us, with a liberal hand, all the ale- meats of wealth and 'greatness. Owl:alleys and. plains offer their fertile'soil to the ploughshare' of the husbandman, and reward with their rich pro ductions his honorable toil. Our inexhaustible coal fields; our rich iron deposits; limestone ev erywhere, and just Where most required, the in terminable forest, and our . rushing streams; all invite the energy and enterprise of, our citizens to the development of their treasures, and promise a rich reward to their labors. The smoke of our furnaces, the crash of . the rolling-mill, the hum of the spindle, and the win of the workshop, attest , the energy and manufacturing skill of our people; and whilst the plough, the loom and the anvil I unite in the production of wealth; commerce, by' , her thousand avenues, is bearing their valuable and abundant • products to' one marts of trade._ Amidst all these great interests, and their rapid - and almost romantic development, it is a matter of congratulation that agriculture, in its various defartments, hes awakened public attention to its importance; and claimed and received from sci ence, the tribute of its aid. Pennsylvania, so deep ly interested in the Success of her agricultural in dustry, can not be" indifferent to the laudable ef forts now making to advance and perfect this first, and noblest pursuit of man. This, and ell other branches of industry,, should receive the fostering care and encouragement of the Government. The interests of our greatcommereial emporium should receive the considerate attention of the Legislature. Her manufactures, trade and com merce, are of great and increasing importance,and Philadelphia, aS eonsolidated,l in population, wealth, enterprise and intelligence, ranks and ri vals the first cities of the Union. 'To make her the first among the cities of our country, should be the just pride of every Pennsylvanian. Her interests are so identified with the interests of the State, that they cannot be separated without inju ry to both.- A prudent and liberal system of leg islation, appropriate'to her real wants, would pro.; mote her own and the interests of the 'common wealth. I A sound currency, is essential to the prosperity of a commercial people. - All classes of society, l and every branch of industiy, in their 'varied in terests and economical reletione..are interested in securing and maintaining a rate circulating medi um. To accomplish ill's result, wise and prudent legislation is necessiirs. The creation ,of a well regulated, and carefully guarded syste m; of bank ing, is net only sound policy, but beneficial to the I legitimate trade and tiommerce of the country; and i aids jn developing ter great naturatand, industri -lal resources. Our present system of banking, with I the linilltations, restrictions and liabilities, indi vidual and otherwise,,imposed by law on these in stitutions, has become the settled policy of the State. The checki and guards thrown around them should not be lessened or removed: Their own safety, and the security of the public,lrequire j theireontinuance. I 1 • :Notice of numerous intended applications to the Legislature for new bald* an increase of bank ing.capital and savings institutions, has been giv enns required by.the, constitution. Without de siring to assume a hostile attitude towards all banks, the propriety of incorporating all that may be called for, under the notice given, can not he justified or defended. IThe extravagant, impron- ' er, or unreasonable intrease of banks anti banking , capital, is not demanded by the wants of the cora. rannity, and will - - not, and can not be sanctioned by the Executive. The present commercial al financial embarrassment of, the country ; the de , piessed state of trade; all past experience, and thril more recent experience of sem° of our sister States;j as seen in their rained banks and depreciated cur."' rency,: demonstrate the necessity of legislating 1 cautiously and prudently on this subject. , The number of banks, and consequently the I amount of banking capital should be limited to, and,regulated by theptioper domande of active and healthy trade, and the actual business wan te an d ne:. ceded ties of the community. This policy, hence tly in-' sistedupon and pursued, would'protectthe country from the disastrous consequences of, improvident banking. An extraordinary and unnecessary in crease of banks and banking facilities, in season of great general prosperity, le7uls to extravagant and ruinous speculation. Such increase in times ofcom- menial distress, aggriltrates and prolongs the evils • it was designed to remedy. Entertainieg_therie views, I will not hesitate to sanction the re-char tering of. old and solvent banks; which by' pru dent and'earefit management, and an honest ad herence to thetegitimitte purposes of their crea tion, have merited and receleed tho 'Confidence of the, public. Nor will I refine to sanction the in corporation of new bankii, when indispensably necessary and clearly! demanded by the actual business limits and interests of the community in which they may be located. To no other, and un der no, other circumstances, can I yield the Ex ecutive consent. .: rkilusr*.4 47 00 2850 2,335 79 14 25 12 20 4 1,495'0/ 100 00 100 00 111 00 pr . 4601) 63 IZEI 2,422 71 s9l,:=:: 34 . To promote the weifaro and prosperity of the Commonwealth, by regulating and increasing her finances, economising ;her resources, maintaining her credit, reducing her debt, and re p aving her people from oppressive taxtition,. willn r the ob jects of my anxious debire ; and to thencomplish meat of which every ehergy. of my administration will be directed. The public debt, now exceeding forty millions of dollars, and the annual taxation necessary to meet tite payment-of its interest, se riously affect the great industrial interests of the State; drive labor and capital from the Common wealth; prevent the extension and completion of her noble system of education; and the prosecu tion of thinte laudable schemes of benevolence, which at once benefit, dignify and adorn a free and enlightened people.'

Duty, and a conviction of its propri .y, will prompt me to give a cordial support to s .,' • ie accomplishment of this object. ' " In this connection; and whether a sale of all, or i l ty of the public improvementa be affected or not, e abolition or re-organization of the Board of 'anal Commisioners, and the substitution of some er efficient and responsible system of- manage nt, are subjects worthy of consideration. Every •asure of reform in this regard, calculated to rease the efficiency and responsibility of the en trisory power; protect the interests of the State; d cornet the real or alleged abases of the prea. system, will receive my approval. The people having in the recent election decided i.t 4ainst the passage of a law prohibiting the man,- kcture and sale of spirituous liquors, it will be me the duty of the Legislature and Executive - onsider what other legislation may be neces•• to control and correct . the evil:: of intemper - t • e. Our present licenie system, although highly . t : e al, and corrective of many abuses, is still de- ". ire. The faCility.with which licensee are oh- 1 ed for the sale of malt and other liquors, is vil that demands reform.

This power has been conferred on the ' Exeeive, not to overthrow the administration of juste but to aid and promote it.

With reference to the propriety of the proposed dividend ' stock, It may also be proper to, repeat that, at the last two annual'meetings, arithority was given ba bane stock' to pay for these Improvements. A large body of the stock holders readily assented to take their. proportion of the new stock at par; a large majority, however, declined.— Ilad each stockholder taken his proportking !the capital jock would have been Increased, and the, profits could 'row be divided in cash.

' To the frequentinqulry sountidnkingly madis!whareill this increase of capital cease, the answer ha very ready and conclusive one.

It Is recommended, therefore, that authority be given to mike tbh purchase. } The ,3dhUargers leek forward, and with great confidence, to a very large increase in the peetenmer and merchandise traffic ~ The gnist line of road to the north and west; to, which *Mud= was , made in the last two Reports, ria the L Catalrissa, Williamsport and Brie; Spnbury and Erie.end Williamsport and Emirs roads, wars opened on December 18th hat.

If we -were not a people whb, as Mr. Barnum says, delight in a certain amount of humbug, and rather prefer itlin some cases, though half conscious oe it. we should have adopted such a policy long ago, and not waited till we were- owing some $200,000,400 to Great Britain,' or until a 'general crash Among cairselves should - open our eye, to th& l suicidal policy of free trade: To us that policy has alvray, been, and always' will be suicidal, because all the benefit ae trues to' the manufacturing party, which is Greatitritian. !
