The report of ihe A dj'iiant Genera'
will be submitted to you. and will txhi
hit pailiculna in relation to the nvliii
system. During the last session nf the
Legislature, an act wu passed to reduce
Hire expenses of the militia syHem, and
provide a wore rifiid mode for the col
Imion of militia fines. The provision,
of this act are found lo be highly bene
ficial in theii operation, and il is believ
ed, will enable the system to attain It
self without havinft recourse, as hereto
fore, to he Treasury of the State for aid
Thematinl of fines assessed the las'
vestrfor non-performance of militia du
ly, is more lhan sufficient lo defray Ih.
expenses the same lime. The brief pe
wiod from ihe enactment of ihe law until
Ihe collectors were required lo accom
plish Iheir duties under it, was not suffi
cient for Ihem to complete their collec
tions. The outstanding fines of the past
year, however, may be collected wilh
those of the present, and hus a sum ob
laincd sufficienl lo meet the expenses ol
tooth.
I cannot too strongly recommend to
your care and encouragement, ihe vol
unteer iroops of our Commonwealth.
They will loose r.ohing when compared
with the troops of this or any other
country. Their courage and efficiency
as soldiers have been tested & establish
ed, and they have deservedly becom.
favorites with the people. In cases of
exigency, we must chiefly depend upon
them to protect from injury and desliuc
tion our individual property, our na
tion honor, and our political liberitios.
Under the provisionsol the act of 29th
April, 1S44, entitled 'An act to reduci
the State debt, and to incorporate the
Pennsylvania Canal and Kailroad Oom
mnv. the Question of a sale of the mail
line of improvements, submitted , lo
vole of Ihe people at the election n
October last. was decided in the nflirma
live. The requisite notice wa given by
Ihe Secretary of the Commonwealth lr
ihe commissioners named in the ac'. &
thev have proceeded so far in the per
formance of ih'-ir duties as lo advertise
that the sale of iho stock of ihe propos
od comwanv will commence, in the cily
of Philadelphia, on the 20 h of January
inbt. The lime has, therelore, not ye
arrived when Ihe practicability of (lis
nosim of these improvements, on tin
terms specified in Ihe laws, will be tested
I am not aware thai any legislative pro
ceedinga on this eubj cl are called for at
nresenl lime.
The piocccdingB ol the commissioners
named in the act ol Ihe lam nprn.ion
entitled 'An act to authorize the Uover

Before I conclude this communication
i will call your attention to a subject in
vhich,ll)neve,theStite of Pennsylvania
Dm a deeper si A lhan in any other now
pending, or likely to be brought, either
uefore her own legislature or the h'g
slature of the Union. I refer lo Ihr
maintenance, in all substantial points, ol
ihe existing revenue laws of Ihe Union,
more generally known as the tariff laws.
The great varieity and complexity ol
interests in the ditLrenl quarters of the
Union, render iho adjustment of any
ariir system, an ex'remely difficult and
delicale undertaking. Could tho people
j every section of the Union, sii'vey
ihe entire circle ol national interests, with
i perfectly cool and unprejudiced eye,
his diflicjliy and delicacy would al
most entirely vanish. But while certain
lections of the Union are wedded lo cet
tain notions, without regard to their
foundation in reason and in ruth, n
will be almost impossible to expect from
any body of men,isse mbled in Congress
a perfectly free .$ unprejudiced examin
ation ol this exciting question. v
must deal with men and things, as w
find them, and nol as we would desii
io have ihem. In a conflict where pre
judice and self interest bias the jud.-
men, it behoves the representatives ol
every section, while they yield a dm
regaid to the claims of others, tostano
(irmly by their own. I have, from
year lo year, in addressing communica-
ions lo the Legislature, referred lo thi
subject, not so much for the purpose ol
inducing action in the National Legisla-
ure, ad to keep il before the citizen o;
his Commonwealth, to familiar. zs il in
iheir minds, and lo prepaie them to un
ne in maintaining their own interests,
whenever those interests might be en-

reasonable allowance for inaccuracy and
inconsistency in its minute dclails, is
founded in a spirit ofcompiomiso and
fair dealing, equally just lo the great na

ept lo correct its minor dclails, is le
unsettle the whole syslem, lo weaken
its stability, and to destroy the confi
dence, at home and abroad, in the wis
dnm and consistency of the national
Government, and to break down, now
and forpver, all hopo of competing will,

REMOVAL DILL.
On Monday list Mr Funston read in bis
idaee a bill removing the seat of Justice of
Columbia County from Danville to Dlooms
hnrg.
Mr.FunMon.in inlrodueing this bill, is but
carrying oul ihe positive instructions of hi
constituents, pledged as he, was, by his no
initiation and election, to advocate the He
moval in the I.egialaiure; and there caniint
be any reason why tho bill should nol pas
the House, and Senate too, without oppo
sition, as Gen. Ross was likewise elected
pledged to snslain it. The Removul h
now been niiated in ihe coun'y for fotn
years in succession; and for three successive
elections, the Members from the countv
liave been elected, pledgi'dj for it, over al
inn opposition that intrigue, management
and denepliun could bring lo bear upon
thcm itr. Snyder was uvice elected upon
the question, his opponcels attributing hi
success lo his popularly. Mr. Funston,
new man, is noiniualeil by a Removal Con
vuniion, and elected by a handsome inajoii
ty over his opponent, a reuii.val man; ih
opposition nut daring to bring in'o ihe field
a candidate known lobe opposed lo the ques
lion. We again repeal, that under these
circumstances, ihe Legislatuie cannol re
fuse to pass the bill, unless lliey go r,ounler
to this repealed expression of the elector
of thcrouniy of Columbia.

IMPORTANT DISCOVKRV.
W'p. tniioiinco with pleasure ihe. impor
tant fact, that a marble quany of apparently
unlimited extent and finest quality, has
been discovered on llio lands of Ihe Messrs.
Valentines near llio turnpike, uaoul three
quarters of a mile from Bellefonte. The
besi of il is, ihero is no mistake, specimens
have been taken t o Philadelphia it submitt
ed lo the inspection of skilful Mineralogists
sculp.ors. ete , by whom it has been pro
notinced in 'richness of colors, smooihiiers
and brilliancy of polish, and fineness of
grain, fully equal to the far-famed Egyptian
marble. A correspondent in the Lewis
town Gazette in noticing this important
accession lo the mineral weahh of Centre
(louii'y, remarks:
'Cenire county may justly be proud of
her natural resources, anil if any of her
sons should deserve a monument to eoin
inemointe (heir mighty deeds, their lulls
have the material, ami wo have the work
men lo erect it. A man might be tempted
io commit uicido lo be buried in a lonib of
such beautiful material '
We hope il may prove a rich souice of
wealth to Mr Stratford of I.cwistown, who
has leased (he quarry, to the owners of the
soil, the Messrs. Valentines, arid lo the
country in general.
