INAUGURAL ADDRESS.
FRANCIS It. SIIUNK.
GOVJ3KNOR OF PENNSYLVANIA, UE.
LIVERED JAN: 21, 1848, I
Friends ako Fellow Citizeni:--
I appear before you in obedience to the'
will oflhe Freemen of Pennsylvania, to
give the solemn pledge prescribed by
tho Constitution, andlo enter upon the
ufRce of Governor.
When I contemplate the interests of
our Commonwealth, as an independent
sovereignty, and s e member of the
community of American mate?, the mul
tiplied relation over which it exerts a
supervising guardianship, and the pecu
liarly weighty obligation that pres.
upon it at lhepieeni moment,! feel how
impeifeclly I am qualified to discharge,
and even to compiehend aright, the r-
Ittous and complicated duties to which
1 have been called, lo Him who
watches over the destinies of Slates as
well as men, and whose favor is liihi
and srei gth, I look upwards with hum
ble trust, that lie will overrule tny
errois aud give efficiency to my honesi
elforis for the public good.
Happily the principles which shotld
regulae the adminsiralion of the Slate
have bffcn longsino declared and es'ab
lished by our republican fathers. They
are few and clear. That equal and ex
act justice should be administered to men
of all parties in politic.", and of all per
suasions in religion that our public
taith should be kept sacred under all cir
cumstances that freedom of religion
of suffrage, and of ihe press, should bt
held inviolate that general education
is essential to the preservation of liber
ty 'hat the seperate rights and poweis
ol ihe executive, legislative and ni'li
cial departments of the government
fhouU bo atriotly mumunod tint tin
government should be faithfully, bu
frugally administered, and to whom i
is entrusted held lo frequent and slrici
accountability -thai particular mischiel
ihould be corrected by general rather
man special laws that the grant of ex
elusive pnvileg'fio )ine is repugnant
to our whole system the intent ol which
is lo make fu m the equal rights of all
hat men associated fir gain should, in
commoo with others, oe liable individu
ally for all their joint engagement
md that the obedience of iha public
igent lo the will of his constituent is
'ssential to a right administration of the
government, audio the preservation of
'reedo n.
These are Ihe leading principles by
vmcii J iuiw,ii; iu ue gfliueu 111 lnfc
lerformance of my official duties. They
ire all of them primary truths, aff'dir.g
ne ciiSts ol our govemmen'. and need-
ng no belter confirmation of their
value than isio be found every wherein
ne hutoiy ol our country.
Thus far the action of our syslem has
illustrated Ihe capacity of man for self-
government, and has shown that, en
rusted wiih his own political destinit
ind unincumbered by bad law.s he ad
i-ance steadily in knowledge and true
tnppincss. I lie doubts at fust enter
Uiod of il adequiey to meet all th
contingencies which arise in the atfarii

perience. The practical operation ol
t ie governments ol Ihe ivaies and ol
he Union, in advancing the wtltan
of the inhabitants of our extended and
iill extending country, demons'ra't
their utility. This is the result of that
imple and natural organization, (ounde
upon the assent of the people, by whicl
heir sovereign will rules in their luca
iffairs, is extended to ihe Stale govern
menls, and by a happy combinatioi
gives direction to the government u
ihe U nion. 1 heir comijftcnry to gov
rn themselves is confirmed by th
peice, happiness and pinpptriiy whicl
heir government has secured to lit.
citizens of these States, and is an a.sur

Fellow Citizens of the Senate and
Hume of Representatives. It has r.ot
been my iiui pose lo enter at this timt-
upon Ihe consideration of narticulai
topie?, which may more properly be re.
nerved lor other communications. There
however, oi e u'uVci of Mich vita
miercsi io ine honor anil well oeinu
iflhc commonwealth, as lo challenge
he very cailiesl expression of my view-
respecting it. 1 allude,':! course, lo tin
condition of our public debt.
If there is one 'distinguishing trait ol
character in-our citizens, it is that of
living within their means, and honestly
paying their debt.-; and il mere ;s out
certain result in the vroikiug of our iep-
esenlaiives system, H is, that the chai-
actf r of Ihe Covermenl ig identical with
that of the people. Uy ihe application
of ibis truth, which is Kpully simple
nd certain, our du'y undt rex sling cii-
cuuisiances, is rendered bs plain as it is
obliuatoiy. The credit of our Stale
ciusi bo inleemed. We are urwed lo
fie pf-iform tnce of this du'y, not only
by.onr fidelity as rcpresentaii ves, but
also Dy the principles ol sound moialiJa
j')') by our honest pride as Peiinsylva
niaQ. snJ by our obligitions to tho
Union ( maintain and elevate the
National character. , , r
I shall of course not be understood in
these remarks as expressing any opinion
on the quit-lion of ihe immediate ability
ol the Siate Treasury lo resume its pay
ments of interest, Jilts question is an
extremely grave one in its consequences
not lo the ciedito; only but to the fu
ture character of the S ate; and it re
quires for its safe decision a cartfu
examination of our fiscal condition in
cluding our prospective income am
liabilities, which I have not had the
means of making. The consideration
'if this whole subject will be amont
ihe earliest snd most interesting ol my
official duties, and 1 shall hasten to sub
mit to the Legislature the views to
which it may conduct me. Meanwhile
gentlemen, I pleJge myself to you, to
the good people of Ihe Stale, and to all
its creditors that on my put nothing
thall bo left undone within the constiiu
tional competency of Ihe Executivoto
ensure the prompt, exact and full
payment of all Ihe dues of Pennsyl
vania. I congratulate you, gentlemen, on the
general piosperrty of our conniiue its.
Il is impossible io look out upon our
Lomtnonwe ilth without recognizing
our indispensable obligations to the
Authoi of liood. A genial and healih-

The Defalcation of the Clerk of the

The report states that after proceedings had
been commenced m mailer, Mr
McNulty had been twice summoned to ap
pear ocfore the committee on accounts
anil that ho refused lo obey the summons
in both instances. Il stales further, that
a deficit of forty five thousand dollars had
been discovered in the contingent fun J oi

had been Uo hundred and thirty two ibou

two thousand dollars, leaving unexpended
sixty thousand dollars. It was also fin thei
discovered that the whole amount of the
fund had been drawn from ihe Treasury.
It had a credit of til" teen thousand dollars,
leaving an actual di fu-ency of 43 ibuosatid
dollar Of this deficiency there were
twenty thousand dollars secured by ihe
clerk's bonds, and for the balance, twenty
live thousand dollars, there was no securi

The eigh'h of January 1815 or thiiiy

of these Stales from what it was thi Jay
thirty years ago? Then we were "en
gaged in war with a nation who claimed
o be mistress of the sea. A war w'.iich
had lasted for near three years; a wai
which had cost not only much lieasure;
but the lives ofmanv valuable ciiiz-ni,;
i war, in which an army had b.?ei.
gnominiotisly surrendered to the eoem

Such was ihe character of this war, md

ihe crises had now arrived. The eigh h
