FINWNCES.
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.

American authors, aud at the age of sixty,

of his earthly labors.
Mr. illis was born in Portland, Me.,
on the 20th of January, 1807, and died
ot Idlewild, on the Hudson, on the 21st
inst. 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.

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. If Democrats
arc satisfied with the result, then is the
millenium near at hand.

Acdy Johnson's Last.
On Monday the President sent into the
Senate the nomination'of John M. Mur
phy for Governor of Idaho. This man
was once indited by the Grand Jury of
Wasco County, Oregon, lor malleasance
i-o-office, and emigrated to Idaho, and was
Recorder of Roise County in 18G5-6.

that Territory the county safe, which was
in Murphy's possession, was broken open.
d a considerable amount of money wa .
found in his bed the next morning. He
subsequently left the Territory, but the
President now proposes to send him back,
not for trial as a suspected felon, but in
the capacity of Governor! This freak
exceeds almost'any thing that Andy, has

morals and public decency. Rut the

foist them iuto high office. Sussex Reg

sale butchery of Union men in New Or

country was shocked, and which was de
liberately planned and carried into exe
cution by the rebel authorities, is to go
unpunished. The Grand Jury of the
United States District Court before whom
the cascv was recently brought up, failed
to find an indictment against the perpe
trators of this unparallcd and bloody out
rage. The test oath was not administer
ed to the" jurors, which easily accounts for
the result of their deliberations. Is this
the condition nf thinis the Cormerhead
r
leaders woul J like to have prevail through
out the country,, by restoring the late re
Ibels and their Northern allies to power ?
