If AKntsnvna, January 10, lB.r)8.
At precisely twenty-five miuutcs past
twelve o'clock the (Jovernor Uct, retiring
Governor I'ollork, tlio 1 leads of lcpartmcntJ
mi J the Committee oT Arrngotncnts, arrived
in front of tho Capitol where a largo eland
with sufficient seats for the members of both
11 00808, the Mends of Departments and the
Commutes, ltndbeen erected.
The AsRcmbly wos called to order by the
Speaker of the Senate, Mr. Welsh.
A most solrmn and impressive prayer w.n then
olVcred to tho Throne of liroro hy the I!ev. lr.
IV Witt, of thin city.
Whereupon, the speaker of the Senate oilmitv
istcrcl the following oath of office to Wm. F.
1'ackkii, the Governor elect :
"Von Jo swear that you will support the Con
stitution of the Cniteil States.
"Voh do also swear that you will support the
Constitution of the Stale of Pennsylvania, and
that yon will ilimharjic your duties as Governor
of this Commonwealth with fidelity."
After the oath had been duly administered the
Governor delivered tho following
l.NAL'UfKU. AliDRKi! :
Tkilow Citikhns : In appearing liuToro
ecu to enter upon my duties as Governor of
the Commonwealth.. 1 consult my own incli
nations in conforming to the nsago which

jil ice, 1 gladly embrace this opportunity to

tho people of CeiitiMlvania, for honoring me
wiih the Chief Kxecutivo ofiieo in their gov
ernment. Their kindness will never bo ior
.otton, nor will the cot.iideiice they have re
posed at me ever be intentionally betrayed.
I'aty to them and myself will reimiro that
the obligation which 1 have iuft taken to dir-
churc my public duties with fidelity shall be
t.utbf liy observed; and thus justily, ns turn j
possible, lli'i popular cecn.on. '

n.-ue of them will be of a grave character, or
productive of vital i:;ury to tho public inter-

be construed with kindness and toleration so

considering it, ttml licnco it is provided that
in such case it shall become it law unless sent
back within ihreo days after tho next meet
ing. In modern practice it large number of
bills o:o tiptmlly sent to tho Governor within
a few days of tho Adjournment of the Legis
lature, which it is impossible for him to con
sider duly before tho adjournment takes place.
In fact m finy are sent to him in tbo very
closing hours of the session. Hut it would
teem plain that the Kxecutivo could reasona
bly nsli in such case only the full constitutional
period of ten clays for forming his opinion,
und that nil bills ho believes it his duty to
approve ehall be actually signed within that
period. My tho exercise cf reasonable in
dustry this can in all cases bo accomplished.
Then, such bills ns be disapproves will be
held over to be returned to the proper branch
of the General Assembly within three days
iifler their next numling, according to the
constitutional provision. This will properly
dispose of all bills in his hands at the adjourn
ment, unless indeed it be allowed to hold over
bill.? and permit them to become laws with
out hi? action.
The nrnnrinlp nf niirnincr bills bv the Gov
ernor between the cessions of tho Legislature
has been questioned. It does not accord
with tho old practice, und is ccrtuinly linblo
to abuse. 1 luring my term it will be strictly
confined to the first ten daysnfteran adjourn
ment, and all bills not then approved, may be
considered ns nwaiting tho next meeting of
the General Assembly, to bo returned wan
tho l'xecutivo disapproval. Tho Lxecutive
should uot bo subjected for long periods of
time to the solicitations of those interested
in bills, nor should ho bo subject to tho im
putations of indecision, or fuvorilis.il almost
unavoidable in such cares. Nor is it right
that he should have in his hands tho mcaus'of
inlluencu which tho holding open of his de
cision upoti bills during a recess would confer,
besides a great wrong may bo done to thoBe
interested in legislation, by continuing them
for an umiU8 lurj0() j uncertainty as to the
ruiu t, ills ln Wh;cb their rights, their pio-
pertv, or their business mny bo involved
Tlicto ore evils which au (Executive may ob
viate, by fettling his policy liimly iu the ont
set of his administration. It would be well,
also, for the Legislature to so shnpo its
uction as to avoid tho necefsity of sending
many important bills to tho Covcrnor in the
closing days or hours of a rcsMon.
J:i.l!vir, (.'itUnm : Although it will not be
expected that 1 should ut litis time discuss in
detail tho pni ticiile.r questions which v. ill
piobably come holers tho government du
ring my term, I desire luielly to give expres
sion to the general views of public policy to
which 1 hold, in their application to practi
cal issues now pending. The currency of the
State is in such a disordered condition, that
general and wholesome public opinion de
mands its reform, and tlm establishment of
t Dcctiuil barriers against future convulsions.
This is a buLj'-cl which will test tho intelli
gence, t!u lirmiiess, and the patriotism of the
llepiesentiitivos of the people in the Legisla
tive department, and mny imposo grave re
sponsibilities upon the Jixecutive. .My views
are decidedly hostile to the emission und
circulation of small notes ns a currency; to
the increase of banking capital under present
uriai.gemunts ; und to tl.o i.-.-ues of bank
paper upou s.eurties iundi tiate for their re
demption. Tho want of unifi ruiily in the
legal prevision: under which exisiiug banks
opolate, is objectionable.

power in some proper olV.ct r or department
of the Gi.vei nnieut to re-train or suspend tlio

law.
NV lieu a specie currency shall bo secured
to tho people bv prohibiting tlm circulation

desirab'.u that the fiscal affairs of the
to government shall 1)8 wholly separated
from those of the banks: iu other words, that
the money transactions of the government
both iu its collections and disbursements shall
be in tho legal coin of the country. When
ever a practicable, convenient nnd t-ffu-icnl
scheme for the operations of the Treasury up
on such u bas s can be resented to me by tho
lleprisentatives of the people, it w ill meet
nilti u cheerful approval. There nre difficul
ties in the case, however, far greater than
those surmounted by the general government
! in the e.-lablisliiiient ol its independent I rea-
sury system ; but the object being one of the
lirjt magnitude, and calculated to t-scrcise u

the governuniit, and upon the business of the
banks r.n l the people, it is well worthy cur

There is a gieat lack of consistency utl
principle iu the laws patted during some years
in relation to iucuiporutiotis. They have
boea crtuted upon no settled, uniform plan j
are excessive in number ; und many of them
unnecessary to the accomplishment of any
legitimate purpose, 'ihey have doubtless
tncourat'ed bpeculution, und iu vuiious way,
contributed to the receut lioabciul couvulsion
V ui bus Mid. Inconsistent i iuvisioug appear
in nct9 establishing or extending tho powers
bodies of tho snmo class and general charac
ter. The tax laws relating to them are in
some confusion, nnd consequently taxes paid
by them unequal, while some wholly escape
any share of the public burdens. In brief,
our system of incorporations has become so
vast, diversified ond difiicult of comprehen
sion, that no reasonable industry can master
the wholo subject, and understand precisely
where wo are and whither we aro drifting.
A thorough revision of laws on ibis subject,
and the establishment of general, uniform,
regulations for each cluss of corporato bodies
with the avoidance, as far as possible, of spo
cial provisions for part icular corporations, are
reforms imperiously demanded by the public
interests in which J shall heartily co operate.
1 have no hostility to express against incor
porations for proper objects beyond iho pow
er of individual means und skill ; nor gener
ally against legislative facilities for the np
plication of labor nnd capital to the creation
of wealth, whero individual unprompted ac
tion will not go. Hut no one can nssert that
wo havo limited ourselves to such a policy,
nor that our laws on this subject have been
careful, consistent and just.
Hut notwithstanding all tonics of regret or
criticism in our public rnrecr, (and which
Biiouia Dear ineir proper iruil in amendment
and reform, wo may wellho proud of this l'enn

While our domestic affairs and policy nat
urally will occupy most of the attention of
our Covernineiil and our people, it is not to
be forgotten that lVunsy Ivania bears very
interesting relations to tho other States of
the confederacy, und looks wi ll uti anxious

in its true position, us tho common ngent of

judgment aud opinion of tlio country cannot
be uo st iM'.gly consolidated iu favor of the j
laws, ti i. el nii. ft all who rise up to oppose I
them by authorized means. Nor can tho j
excuse for resistance to the Territorial laws, t
and fur failing to perforin the duties uf citizen- j
ship under them, that wrongs and frauds were
per ft rated ul elections, oe unnnueu as u
juttification. W here elections nre so fro
(pient and the right of suffrage so liberal, as
in this country, it is peculiaily the duly of a
good citi7.eu to obey existing authorities, und
even i bji ctionablu laws, knowing that the
former can be changed, and the litter modified
or repealed, within very brief period. Ami
ns to di.-puted elections, they must be decided
by the proper logul autnfuity and not by in
dividual citiieun. or inegulav sclf-toubtilutf.l
assemblages.
Insubordination (o necessary un.l rightful
authority, instituted ami encouraged l y un
worthy men in tlie organized States, who de
siied that discord should continue, un l were
willing to contribute to that object, is tiie
proiilic fountain from which the troubles in
Kunsas have heretofore proceeded. It wa
uataral, perhaps iuveiitable, that litis conduct
by a party in the territory f hould provoke uti
opposite parly to many unjustiliuble nets,
aril to niticli imprudent aud unreasonable
conduct. Thuj extreme art und react upon
each other, and when the laws are defined
und individual uction let loose, wrotr, out
rage aud violence aro necessury results.
Tho lust phase of the Kansas question,
which is upon tho constitution framed by a
Territorial Convention, is peculiarly for the
judgment of Congress, to w hich the power of
admitting new .States is conllded by the con
stitution of the Union. 'J'ho representatives
of tlm people and of the States in Congress
assembled, will meet that ijuuftion under ull
the responsibilities which they owe to their
constituents, and which aro imposed upon
them by their oaths of ollice ; and with full
information upon matteis of fact important
to the formation of a final judgement.

mutl bent all times a subject of high in
terest. And 1 believe 1 expre.-s their scnti
menls as well us my own, in declaring that
ull tho (jiialilied electors of u Territory,
should havo a full ai d f.ir opportunity to
participate in selecting delegutes to furm a
Constitution preparatory to admission as a
State, and, if desired by them, (hey should
also be ullowed an nnipjalifiod right to vote
upon such Constitution alter it is framed.
yi course tuoso who then fail to vole, iu
uith"r fuse, cuunot complain that the pro
ceeding goes ou without thoir participation,
it is tu bo hoped, that Congress wiil make
such provision for other Territories that the
pruseut difficulty will huve uo repetition in
the future.
In conclusion, permit me to obscrvo, that
all experience and rellectioo prove that the
uicilul virtues form tho ouly firm foucdatioa
of public order as w ell as individual charac
ter, and their suppoit tlould therefor cd-
gago tho profound attention of Government,
and the co-operation of all good men. Frail
indeed will bo any structure reared for the
regulation of society, and the promotion of
man s true and substantial happiness, unless
it stand upon a foundation tnoro permanent
than paper arrangements, or the fleetinir im
pulses of tho hour! The recognition of 1
ureal supreme Cower, which rules tho uf
fuirsof nations and of men, is the only sup
port of those virtues which can tnnke a people
distinguished and prosperous, ond give to
Government duration and success. Sincere,
ly imploring the Divine guidiance in the per
formance of duty, 1 assume the post assigned
me by the people, indulging the hope that at
tho termination of my service I shall enjoy
tho approval of my own conscience, nnd be
hold i'ennsylvania advanced and secure in
her position as one of tho great communities
to the New World her standard alolt, and
proudly bearing, untarnished, h.-r motto of
"Virtue, Liberty and Independence."

Sugar from tbo Chinese Sugar-Cnne.
We have received from Joseph S. Lover
ing, Onkhill, I'liiladelphia county, five differ-
out samples of sugar the result of seven ex
pcriments, made by mm wun me cuinefte sn
gar-cane. Mr. Levering planted tne seeds
last year, to determine the value of the plant
in its sngiir-producing qualities. First, he
established, by polorscopic observation, the
presence of crystallized sugar in the cane,
and then ho began his experiments, of which
ho gives a detailed account in a pamhiet
which he has published and to which wo te
fer those interested in tho mutter, our pur
pose boinc to rcconl only the general result.
The first experiment was a discouraging one
and the dark visced mass stood six days with-
L'ullons of juice. Tho weather was nnpropit-
uotis to the ripening of tho cauC and probably
ten per cent, was lost in consequence, which
would increase the q'lantily to 1.C12 lbs. ff
sugar nnd t-1 810 gallons of molasses, a yield
Very nearly corresponding to the best conduc
ted Louisiana plantations. The best time for
sugar making is w hen the seeds are nil ripe
and alter several frosts, the thermometer be
low 30 degrees ; frost or bard freezing does
lint hint liie juice nor the sugar, but warm
weather after frost dues. Cuno cut and
housed, or shocked in tho field will probably
keep unchanged a long while. When tho
juice is obtained tho process of sugar making
should proceed continuously without delay
Tho cl iiilicatiou should be as perfect us po
sible bullock's blood und milk of lime will
answer for c!ui iiicution, skimming being re
ipiired constantly. Tho coucentiol ion and
boiling done after clarification should be us
rapid us possible in shallow evaporators.
With those Conditions secured, it usea?y Mr.
L. says, to make good sugar from the Chineso
sugar cane s to make a ol of good mush,
aud cusier than to make a kettlo of eood at-
de butler. These experiments, conducted I
liy an intel'i'.'eiit geiitleman, extensively en
gaged iu the biigur -relinii.g business in this
city settle ut once ull ,uestiou re.-pectiug tho
production of su' .ir fi on the Chinese cane,
und the value ol that plant to the agriculture
of the country. They are ol the most n liable
character, and coming from a person of his
New Advertisements.
