The exhibit of the finances of the Coiu monweahh, as presented in the late an nual message of my predecessor, and the report of the State Treasurer, i3 certainty very gratifying ; and the" flattering pro spect of ths speedy extinguishment of the debt which has been hanging, for so ma ny years, like a dark cloud over the pros pects of our State, combined with the hope that a reasonable reduction will be made in our habitual annual expenditures, trill cheer the people onward iu the path way ol duty. Anions the most delicate and import ant obligations reouired of those in oGcial positious, is a strict and faithful manage ment of the public revenues and expendi tures of the 'Commonwealth. Taxation f hould be applied where its burdens may be least felt, and where it is most just that it fbould be borne. Every resource should be carefully "husbanded, and the strictest economy practiced, so that the credit of the Stale shall be maintained ou a firm andenduringbasis.and thedebtsure y aud steadily diminished, until its fi nal extinguishment. Unnecessary delay in this would,. m my opinion, be inconi ratible with oiir trus interests. That thcseKexpectations arc capable of speedy and certain consummation, .hiss al ready been demonstrated. The public improvements, the cause of our heavy debt, which seemed to he an incubus up on the prosperity of the State, so long as they we're managed by hcrtgents, have been sold ; tho tax on real estate has been abolibhed, and considerable reductions have already been made in the State debt ihis important branch, of the adminis tration tnali receive my constant and zealous attention. EHECVTIOXOF Till: LAWS. The general and essential principles o law and liberty, declared in the Coustitu tiou of Pennsylvania, shall be watchfully guarded. It will be my highest ambition to administer the Government in the true fr.-irit of that instrument. Care shall be taken ''that tho laws be faithfully execut ed," and the decisions of the courts re pected and enforced, if within their au thorized jurisdiction. Influenced only by considerations for the public welfare, it is my imperative duty to see that justice be impartially administered. That merciful provision, the pardouing power, conferred upon the Executive doubtlessly, for cor recting only the errors uf criminal juris prudence, and securing justice, shall not be perverted to the indiscriminate pro tection of those who may be justly sen tenced to bear penalties for infractions of the laws rnaic for the security and pro tection of society. Those "cruelly" or "excessively" punished, or erroneously convicted, are alone entitled to its benefi cent protection, and only such should ex pect its exercise in their behalf. "Whenever the people deem it expedi ient or necessary, from actual experience, to alter the laws or to amend the Consti tution, it is their undoubted right to do fo according to the mode prescribed with in itself. 1 here repeat, what I have said elsewhere, that "so long as the people feel that the rower to alter or change the character of tho Government abides in them, so long will they be'imprcssed with a sense of security and of dignity which fuast ever spring from the consciousness Jhat they hold within their own hands a remedy for every political evil, a correc tive for every governmental abuse aad usurpation." THE NATIONAL SITVATIO.X. We are confessedly in a transition state. It is marvelous how prejudice has perish ed in tbe furnace of war, and how, from the very ashes of old hatreds and old par ties, the truth risC3 purified and triuuip haut. The ccnte3t between tho Execu tive and a Congreis twice eleeted by sub Manually the same sucrages, a contest so anomalous in cur experience as not to have been anticipated by the framers ol the National Constitution, has only serv ed to develop the remarkable energies of our people, and to strengthen them for future conflicts. That contest is virtual ly decided. The victorious forces, physical and mor al, of the patriotic millions, arc simply pausing before they perfect the work ol reconstruction. Twenty-six States have r;'ot only been saved from the conftagra ion of war, but have been crystalized in the saving. The unrcstored ten, still dis affected aud still defiant, teem to be pro videntially delaying their return to the Union bo that when they re-enter upon its obligations and its blessings, they will be Letter able to fulfill the one and enjoy the other. Their condition is a fearful warning to men and nations, and espe cially to ourselves. Until slavery fell we did not fully un derstand the value of republican institu tions. Accustomed to tolerate, and in many cases to defend slavery, we did not feci that its close proximity, so far from assisting, was gradually destroying our li berties; and it was only when Rebellion tore away the mask, that we saw the hid eous features of the monster that was eat ing out the vitals of the Republic. If we are now astonished and fchocked at the exhibition of cruelty and fgrati tude among those who, having inaugrated and prosecuted a causeless war against a generous Government, and having been permitted to escape the punishment thev deserve, are once more arrogantly clamor jng to assume control of the destinies of this great nation, how much greater cause would we have had for surprise had slave ry been permitted to increase and mul tiply r Uoast as we may of our material and our moral victories, yet is it not true that there is no such thing as a republican government iu the ten States that began and carried on the war ? There is not to-day a despotic State in Europe where the rights of the individual man aro so defiantly trampled under foot as in the sections which were supposed to have been urougui into iuil submission t submission to the Goviarrcsted in Raltiniore on a charge of high crnment ot the United States. But the disease has suggested its Providential cure. The abhorrent doctrine that defeated treason shall not only be magnanimously pardoned, but introduced to yet stronger privileges, because of its guilty failure, seams to have been insisted upon, as if to strengthen the better and the contrasting doctrine, that a nation, having conquered its freedom, is its own best guardian, and that those who were deleated in honor able battle should be constrained to sub mit to all the terms of the conqueror. Tho violators of the most solemn obli gations, the perpetrators of the most atro cious crimes ia the annals of time, the murderers of our heroic soldiers on fields cf battle, and in loathsome dungeous and barbarous prisons, they must not, shall not, reappear in the council chambers of the nation to aid in its legislation, or con trol its destinies, unless it shall be on con ditions which will prcserce our institu tions from their baleful purposes aud in fluence, and secure ropublicau forms of government, in their purity and vigor, in every section of the country. That, they are indisposed to accept such conditions is manifest from their recent and even arrogant rejection of the pro posed amendments of the national Con stitution amendments which are believed by many true and patriotic citizens and statesmen to be too mild and generous. They have, however, been fully consi dered by the people during the late elect ions, and approved by majorties so large as to give them a sanctiou which it would be improper to either overlook or disregard. And certaiuly, in view of this fact, none of the late llebel States Bhould be admit ted to their former "practical relations" to the General Government while they continue to oppose these amendments. To the Congress of the United States the heartfelt sympathies and overwhelm ing suffrages of the people have been gen ereusly given. They have fearlessly pro claimed thoir unequivocal verdict. "Well done cool and faithful servants. Upon the deliberations and actions of Congress our present interests and future welfare all depend. In its firmness and courage the whole experiment of genuine republi can!?::! is indissolublv involved. That this firrane?3 and courage will be fully exhibited bv its controlling majorities, iu the origination and adoption of measures of wisdom and discretion, even more rad ical undJccistrc, if necessary; than those of the past. I cutertaiu no doubt. Such measures will meet with my cordial ap proval. And I may well add, that while Pennsylvania will coniide in a loyal Con urcss. she will not hesitate to sustain it with her. entire influence and power. That in the administration of ths Gov ernment I may err, is only what should be expected from the infirmities of the human mind ; but as I enter upon the dis charge of my responsible duties with a firm resolution to act with honesty and impartiality, I trust my errors will be re garuej witn cnarity ana treated wita tlie gentleness of magnanimous forgiveness. And I earnestly hope that my inter course with my fellow citizens of the Sen ate and House of Representatives will be so frank and cordial that our duties to a common constituency will be pleasantlv and faithfully discharged. Different bran ches of tho Governments as we arc, with distinctive duties, we are, nevertheless parts of one organized and well regulated system, and as we co operate or disagree. the interests of the State will probably be I promoted or retarded. rJccted by the people, desirous to promote the welfare of every citizen, mere party differences should not be allowed to interfere with the main tenances of a generous, a true and com prehensive public policy. It was the illustrious Washington, equal ly distinguished as a warrior and a states man, who gave utterance to the declara tion, "that the propitious smiles of Heav en cannot be expected on a nation that disregards the eternal rules of order and right:" and Jefferson, who asserted that "whatever ismorally wrongcannotbe poli ticaliy right." These utterances express my deepest convictions ot the ru!e3 and principles which should permeate and con trol all governments. Let us, felbw cit izen', adhere to them, be governed by them, and oar efforts will be happily uni- te in surrounding the institutions of our State, 33 well as those of our nation, with a rampart cf truth that will repel the mad ness of ambition, the schemes of usurpa tion, and successfully resist the changes and agitations cf all coming time.

The deceased author commenced his fctudy at the Philips Academy, in Portlaud, and1 graduated from Yale Col lege in 1S27. Refore he left the latter institution he published his "Scripture fetches, which gained him considerable reputation In 1328 he established the American Monthly Magazine, which in 1830 was merged into the Weekly Mirror. In the colujius of the latter journal appeared the famous " Pencillings by the Way," written by N. P. Willis while traveling abroad. . In 1835 he fought a duel with Captain Marryatt on account of unfavor able cinctures on the latter gentleman's novels. In 1837 he returned to this country, and ia 1839 became one cf the editors of the Corsair. In the autumn of the lit ter year he visited England again, and in the following year published his Letters from Under a Rridge ," " Loiteriugs of Travel," &c. Iu 184G he published the Home Jour nal, and his connection with the latter paper was dissolved by death. Failing health prevented Mr. Willis from writing much of late years. He was an easy and graceful writer. Ilis future fame will rest mainly on his " Scripture Sketches " and books of travel. A gang of young rowdies has just been way robbery.

The election of Gen. Simon Cameron to the United States Senate is a fixed fact, as we announced last week. We are free to confess that he was not our choice; but as that choice was fixed, in view of the fact that all the gentlemen named by the Republican press were eminently worthy of the position, more from pereonal con Uiderations than otherwise, we are free to confess ourselves fully satisfied with the result. c know our i;emoeratic, or rather Copperhead, contemporaries affect to crow over tho result, and claim Mr. Cameron's election as somewhat of a tri umph for themselves, but we know also their wonderful propensity for lying, and endeavoring to create a scare, too well to be worried, at this. There is not a meas ure on which Gen. Cameron holds opin ions in common with theirs, but, on the contrary, we know that nearly every meas ure for which Mr. Lincolu was moit fSund- ly abused by copperheadism, during the war, from the inception of Degro sol- diery to the opening of Fort Lafayette as U place for the safe kecpin-r of traitorous copperheads, originated with Senator 11 Cameron, and to this day meets his hearty approval. Gen. Cameron, in the Senate will be found a radical and we are satisfied, as much as we live, that his votes and speeches will call down upon him their curses, much more vehe mently expressed than are now their crowings over his election.
