I MB GUVEIiAOIt'S UESSAUE.
EXECUTIVE CHAMBER,
HARRISBURO, October 6lh, 1857.
3b the Senate and the Howe tf Representatives
of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, in
General Assembly ml :
GENTLEMEN —By virtue of the power con
ferred upon me by the Constitution, 1 have
ddemed it my imperative duty to convene
the General Assembly at this time. As ex
■ Iraordinary occasion for so doing, contem
plated by the Constitution, has arisen, and
accordingly ynu have been called together
to take into consideration and adopt such
measures of relief as the present exigencies
may seem, in your wisdom, to demand.
A sudden attd severe financial revulsion
has occurred, inducing a suspension of rpe
tie payments by the banks of this Common
wealth and in eomo of our sister States.—
This was unavoidable, having become, from
the operation of causes necessary now to be
enumerated, a stern necessity. Thus cir
cumstanced, the community are suffering
Irom the want of a currency; the destruction
of confidence, and the numerous evils con
sequent on financial embarrassment. Every
department of industry has felt and been
disastrously affected by the shock; trade and
commerce have been paralyzed; (he mer
chant, the manufacturer, the mechanic have
seen their bright prospects suddenly blasted,
and many have been involved in a ruin
which tio ordinary sagacity or foresight could
avert.
Marty of our furnaces, rolling irtlilr. and
lactones have been closed, extensive and
valuable coal operations have been suspend
ed or abandoned, and thousands Of work
men are out of employment, oppressed with
doubt and anxiety, and alarmed with gloomy
apprehensions of the future. It is not my
intention to discuss in this communitaiion
the cause ol the present financial difficulties
and commercial embarrassment. The evil
) upon us, troubles surround us, and to re
lieve the community, restore confidence, and
bring back the prosperity lately enjoyed, and
which it is hoped, is but temporarily inter-
Ttipled, prompt und harmonious ac:ion, wire
and generous legislation) will he required.—
The present exigency requires, and overy
consideration of the present Mid future inter
est of the Commonwealth and the people
woutd 6eem to demand, that the banks
should bo released from the penalties and
forfeitures incurred, and a suspension should
be authorized for such reasonable period as
Will enable them sefely to resume the pay
ment of their liabilities in specie.
To force the Banks into a too cnrly liqui
elation, would compel them lo require imme
diate payment from their debtors, and wonlJ
entail upon the community the miseries of
wide-spread bankruptcy aud ruiiij while on
the other hand, an unreasonable extension
of the unnatural state of suspension would
greatly increase the rvils of unredeemable
yiaper currency. The resumption of specie
payments should not be | osi potted longer
than is clearly necessary and tho best inter
ests of the community may require.
The general embarrassment and depression
of trade and commerce, and the consequent
depreciation of the valuo of real and lerson
nl properly, if permitted to continue, will se
riously affect the revenue of the Common
kvealth; the credit of the State, now so well
sustained and so honorable lo Iter character,
snay be endangered, not by any liability to
pay, but from the difficulty, if not the im
possibility of procuring a medium in which
payment can be made.
Tho faiili of ttie Slate must bo preserved
Intact. 1 therefore reeomraenil that the
Ranks, which may he relieved from the pen
alties upon such stispeasion by existing taws,
shall be required to make a satisfactory ar
rangement with the State Treasurer, by
'which lie will be enabled to convert the cur
rent funds in the Tieasury and balances
siauding la his credit in any of the solvent
Hanks of the Commonwealth into specie, as
soon as the same shall -become necessary
fot the payment of the interest on the fund
ed debt.
And as a further relief to the community,
and as a condition of the release of the pen
alties and forfeitures incurred, it is respect
fully recommended that the solvent banks
nf tho Commonwealth, which paid specie
fot all their .liabilities, immediately prior to
their late general suspension, shall be re
quired (tinder euelt limitations and restric
tions as may be deemed expedient,) to re
ceive the notes of each other, continuing sol
vent at par, in payment of uII debts due, or
to become due to them respectively during
their suspension; the bank or biinks resum
ing specie payments to be relieved from this
rondition. "
For the debtors, provision
should be made for wi extension of the lime
in which eqecutions on judgments may in
crease the period no provided by law, for
-the stay of executions.
The issue ol relief or bnnk notes of a less
licnomination than'five dollars should not
now be authorized, nor should the Banks,
doting tnvir suspension, be permitted to de
cline dividends exceeding six per cent, per
annum.
Tho monied institutions of the Common
wealth, it is believed, are generally in a
sound and solvent condition, and it the
measures suggested be adopted, the banks
will be enabled to meet all their liabilities,
supply a currency adequate to the demands
•of legitimate trade and the otditttyy business
of life Yegain public confidence, aid and re
vive every branch of industry, and save their
vredt ots nnd the community Irom the bank
ruptcy and ruin, inevitably consequent on
the intense pressure of the present financial
vrifis.
The qucsiions submitted for your determi
nation arc important arid numerous. The}
fise far above all pariizan or political consid
erations or calculations. A suffering com
ment!} in the hour of their anxiety anil per
il expect at your hand 6 prompt and patriotic
trttiioti for their relief.
lnfluenced'by no other consideration than
the public good, promplod by no other than
honest and honorable convictions of a public
and private duly, may the result ol your de
liberation* meet the expectations, relieve the
wants, and harmonize with the true interests
of the people. , ~

1 matters not from what cause the disease origi

case, recovery is certain, and in a shorter time
than n permanent cure can be effected bv any
j oilier treatment, een alter the disease has liaf
j lied the skill of eminent physicians and resist
j ed all the means of euro. The medicines are
■ pleasant without odor, causing r.n sickness
nnd free from mercury or balsam. During 20
years of practire, i have rescued from the
jaws of death many thousands, who, in too
Inst stages of the above mentioned diseases
had henn given up to die by their physicians,
which warrants me in promising to the afflict
ed, who may place themselves under my care,
a perfect and most speedy cure. Secret dis
eases aro the greatest enemies to health, as
they are the fust cause of Consumption, Scrof
ula and many other diseases, and should be a
! terror lo the human family. As a permanent
i cure is scarcely ever effected, a majority of
the cases fulling into the bands of incotnpe-
I tent persons, who not only fail to cure the
diseases but ruin tho constitution, filling tho
system with mercury, which, willi tho disease,
hastens the sufferer into a rupid consumption.
11 ut should the disease and the treatment
not cause death speedilv and tho victim ntar
! ties, the disease i- entailed upon children, who 1
| aro born wtth fecblo constitutions, and Iho
| current of life corrupted by a virus which l>c
irays itself in Scrofula, Tetter, Ulcers, Erup
; lions and other affections of tho skin, Eyes,
Thrust aud Lungs, entailing them to un early
giave.
Scll'-otiuso is another formidable enemy lo
health, for nothing else in tho dread catalogue
of human diseases causes so destructive a drain
upon the system, drawing its thousands of
victims through a few years of suffering down
to an untimely giave. It destroys the Ner- |
vous system, rapidly wastes away the energies
of life, causes mental derangement, prevents
■he proper development of the system, dis
qualifies for marriage, society, business, and
all earthly happiness, and leaves the sufferer
wrecked in body and mind, predisposed to
consumption and a train of evils moic to be
I dreaded than death Itself. With the fullest
confidence 1 assure the unfortunate viotims of
sclf.uhUse that a permanent and speedy cure
can bb effected, and with the abandonment of
ruihous practices my pa'icnts can be restored
(o robust, vigoious health.
Tho afflicted are cautioned against the uso of
Patent Medicines, for ihere are so many inge
nious snares in ihecolumns of the public prints
to carch and rob tho unwary suffereis that
millions have their constitutions ruined by
the vile compounds of qusck doctors, or the
equally poisonous nostrums v need as 'Patent
Medicines.' 1 havo carefully analysed many
of the so called Patent Medicines and find that
nearly all of them contain Corrosive Sunli
mate, which is One of the strongest prepara
tions of meicury and a deadly poison, which
instead of curing the disease disables the sys
tem for life.
'I hree-fonrths of the patent nostrums now
in use arc put up by unprincipled and ignor

alphabet of the Materia Atedica, and are equal
