And whf'ri put 'ihcompetilion with the

to see our whig brethren below acting on a

come of it. It will not "bear the test of

In conclusion : At the commencement

Therefore we do express our clear and

SATURDAY, JANUARYS.
GOVEti Ott'S MENAGE
The annual messago of Governor Rttncr
was laid before both houses on Thutsday,
(he 27th tilt. Its extreme length will not
allow us to publish it entire. We give
helow a syrtnpsls of, and extracts from, its
most interesting portions. By this course,
our readers will not loose much, as it is in
ihe main, a dry uninteresting document, so
much "so, that before it was read half thro
by tlie clerk 6f the infuse, a motion was
m&dc by a whig member to suspend the
reading.
It commences by giving a statement of
the transactions at Hanisburg since the
meeting of the Legislature, condensed from
the niistatemenls published in the govern
ment organs at that place. It denounces
the democratic citizens who assembled at
Hurrisburg to witness the opening of the
legislature, as a riotous mob, arid throws
tho whole blame of the recent disreputable
transnnclions at the captol.upon our friends,
notwithstanding the senate's condemnation
of tho course of the whigs. He then re
commends a general revision of the election
laws, and proposes the following amend
ments: 1st. The one year's residence in the
state, required by the amended constitution,
to be proven by tho oath of the party bffei
ing to vote.
2d. The particular residence of ten
days within the district where the vote shall
be oiTcred, to be proven by a competent
witness.
3d. Persons claiming to vote upon tax
aiscssed and paid within the current year,
ihe assessor's corrected list to bo tho dlily
evidence, a copy of which to bo posted up
at the house where the election is held, at
least nine days previous to the time of hom
ing the election.
4th. Persons claiming to vote on tax
paid nut ot the district, to be requited not
only In product: a certificate of the payment
of t':e tax, certified b'efdre a Justice of the
Peace, biit to give their ndtnes to the asses
sors at least nine days before tlie election,
and a list to bo put up m the same manner
is of those payinsr witniu the district.
l1hus virtually'extcnding Ihe odious registry
law of Philadelpliic city, throughout the
siaie.
Upon the subject of betting on ejections
he makes the following just recommenda
tion, which we hope to see adopted by our
legislature, or something quite as severe;
And to secure, as, much as possible, the
puriivoi elections, 1 would strongly recom
mend the passage of a more effectual law
against helling on elections, which practice
lorms tne very worst and most penurious
species of gambling. Uniting and gaming
of other kinds only injure the parties them
selves, nut tins inllicts a wound on the rights
of all, and destroys that confidence1 Which
every citizens should feel in the decision of
the ballot-nox. I would therefore uraii that
whenever thereto required by any voter of
me ivistrict. or wiieneer ho shall think it
nrciissary,' the Inspector of each a t i i ii
shall cause any person offering to vote, to
declare On oath or aflirmation. whether he
is or is Tint directly Of indirectly interested
either as principal, partner or stake-holder
in uy uet, ou ine resuu oi any election to
be held oil that, day; and" If he admit that ho
is, or if ho decline to arts wer. then t refuse
such person his vote, antHii baiise the clerks
ol theelection to make a minut'd Iheroof on
the lisl of Voters-.
Alter rec'oo'fflnienuihg he passage of such
laws in relation 'to tho appointment of such
officers as are unprovided for in tho amend
ed constitution, and the ele'etion of Justices,
fcc. he makes ihe following ternarks in re
lation to the progress of the school system.
The condition of the mean's 'proved by
the Slate toe General Education, is "so flour
ishing that little is required to be ddi'ie by
the present Legislature. Within three years
tho perrnauunt State appropriation-id this
object has been increased from seventy-five
thousand dollars annually to four hundred
thousand dollars, for the "latter sum will ha
required next year to meet the increase of
taxable citizens fronl three hundred and
eight thousand nine hundred and nineteen
to three hundred and fifty thousand which
will probably bo the number returned,
(though probably not more than three hun
dred thousand dollars will.be actually called
for",) and to pay the annuities to Colleges;
Academies and Female Sen Inariea, whic'Ji
will not be less, less than fifty thousand dol"
lars. Nor will this. large outlay have been
without its fruits. Iiistead of seven hun
dred and sixty-three Cniilhjon Schools in
operation at Ihe bnd of 1835, and about
seventeen Aed2irties, fills latter in a slate
of almost doubtful existence," with no Fe-
i.. c -.' i -r. .
iiiiiiL- ociiiin.iries losicreu uy me oiaio, sue
now has five thousand Common Schools,
thirty-eight Academies and seven Female
of wjiuuhcb in unlive anu permanent opera
tion disseminating the prin ip!o9 of litera
ture, science and virtue over tho land. In
addition to thefie. there nro many Schools,

Acnuenucs anu remaic oeiiiiiinncs oi u jm-
vat'e character, eqtmlly useful and deserving
in their pioper sphere'. . ,
Of the. one thnusaud and twenty-seven
townships, wards and boroughs now In ihe
State, cacli intended in form a Common
School disliici, night hundred and Bovqnty
five have accepted the Common School Sys
tem, mid nave ri in operation, aim seven
hundred ami eighty six have rereived their
portions ol the Slate appropriation lor ine
present srhool yeai, couiinenring on the
first Monday of 'June last. The number of
accepting districts goes on steadily incrcas
iniV. and iho usefulness and economy of the
system where fairly tested, aro bccoultilg
evtty day more apparent.
All that now seems requisite to tlie com
plete success of the system is, that some
immediate and. rfticierU means ho adopted
for the preparation lirbdminnn. School teach
ers, i tits suhieet was Itniy rxpiniueu m
ihe last annual Report of tile Stljferintend
cnt, and will ho again embraced m a rcvis
eJ draft of the whole School Law which
that officer will shortly lay before ynti.
Permit me to bespeak fur il our favorable
consideration, and to hope that this last want
of the system may be supplied.
1 would also recommend that the power
(if School D rectors on the suhici'l of taxa
tion, be ciihaileil. Wlicii thev were by
iw authorized to assess a school tax, equal
to thrice the amount of State androtiriation
coining to the District for the year, the whole
amountiif appropriation was only half what
it iinw isi Perlinps absolute pow of taxa
tion in Directors to that amount, was then
necessary: but ii is n'oiat present. I would
ihrreforo rpcoinmeild that Directors shall
not, hereafter, in anv case, Impose more tax
on their District than a sum equal In its por
tion of slate appropriation, unless by con
sent of tile people, in the same maltncr as
uldlthnal school tax is authorized, viz: by
vole of the ulajority of the citizens.
Of the canals and railroads he says :
The Canals and Rail Roads in operation,
vielded, under the most disadvantageous cir
cumstances, nn increased revenue during the
fiscal year just closed. The amount nf tolls
was niui! hundred ailil niiietv-one thousand
two hundred and liftyHwo dollars and foity
two cents. This income is a most decisive
proof that her chains of improvement arc
on tho eve of amply remunerating the Statu
lor llieir vast cost, f he amount ol tolls lor
O'o year, would, under ordiilaiy circumstan
ces, iievond a doubt, have boon a mi lion
and a half of drihars. Tin will be credited
when il is borne in mind that fo'.lv .one half
if the regular trade of tiie main linn was
lost to the State during two-thirds of the
navigable seasilii; In consequence of the
breach on tile Juni i.ta, ih.it. lo reinin the
balance, the Canal Commisiourrs fmlnil it
necessary lo lake the lolls" off ninptv mitia
of the most profitable part ol the remainder,
viz: between Huntingdon and Duncan's Isl
and; in which, if this distance from Ilti'i-
tingdou to Hollidaysburi: bu added, the dis
thus unavoidably rendered wholly unpro
ductive, was one hundred and twmitwiine
miles. Still the works yielded, and it is a
triumphant proof of their valun and produc
tiveness, little short of a million of dollars
within the fiscal voar, may, in view of theso
facts, with perfect f-afuly he estimated at
one million six hundred thousand doilurs,
with a favorable season.
He then adverts to the fact, that the trial
10 use aninraciie coal a3 a fuel to generate
steam in the Locomotive Engines, had
proved entirely satisfactory, and that by iti
use, a largo amount will be saved to the
State annually. Of thebreach in the canal
between Huntington and Ilnllidayshtirg, he
says that the repairs are nearly completed,
and will cost 3380,000. The progress of
the new works, during the year, have been
steady and satisfactory. Tho additional
distances authorized to be put under con
tract on the Erie extension, on the linns up
on the North and West Branch of the Sus
quehanna, and the Gettysburg railroad have
been let.
Of the situation of the finances of the
State, he makes tho following remarks
Which show conclusively .that the statements
which have been made by the1 democratic
party, of their wretched condition were but
too (rub.
j he whole amount oi the receipts into
the Treasury, durincr iho year eniliri!r with
ihe 3l6l.nf Oct'r lasi, including the balance
front 1837, was four million nine hundred
eighty nine thousand two hundred twenty
three ddllars add three cents, and tho whole
amount of payments for all purposes, was
lour millllons eight hundred eiulily nine
thousand eight hundred sixty-three dollars
and seventy-tnreo cents showiuir a bat
anre that day of hin:pino thousand three
hundred Iiliy-nino dollars and thirty cents.
Among tho. disbursements aro included
ono hundred nfty-sevcii thousand six bun
dred twenty-two dollars si'iid eightv-uiiio
cents paid as expence, in part; 'of iho Con
venlion to pVopOhe amendments Id the Con
elitution. During ihe nieceediUg Vear sov
qilty.ono thousand seven hundred lldrly-nine
dollars and sixty-seven cents had Weil paid
on the same ac'cditnt, and it is snprlosed
that a balance of fifty thousand dollars is
still or will become due, so that the whble
expenco of tho Convention, and its inci
dents, will b two hundred Bevcnty-nlne

and fiftysix cents.

He recommends Ih'e following np'prb'pri
itions to continue the public improvement?
The Erie Externum will need live huu
drcd thousand dollars; a similar sum will
be requited on the North Branch Canal

lars for ordinary repair, and one hundred
thousand dollars for dainaires. Locomotive's
c. together with one million to pay. tern'
porarv loans, making in iho whole three
million ono hundred thousand dollars.
. The only means left for obtaining tbi3
large sum, is that of borrowing; ai tl th
only source", without paying an unreason
bio interest, is the Bank of ihe United
states, which, under tin charter, may bo
compelled to' lend iho money at four per
cent.
Afterdating that a most healthy change
had been ace.ompltohed in 6nr currency, ba
ilie resumption of specie payments bythe
banks, ami justilying their suspension
full, he refers to iho late insurrection
(aiiada, and charges the masonic instilu'.
lions in Ihe States bordering on those pro
vinccs, with being the instigators and prin
cipal actors, and to prevent like acts in fu

Of the mantifiiniure of silk ho says:

This business seems to have gained such a1
fooling among us as o pruniso ic-ma-nance
and profit. It seems tn be a branch
of industry admirably adapted to the haliiia
