The conflict between tile oppreasor and the oppressed, whatever may he the incidents or results, having for its object a government capable of protecting and extending political and social liberty, must be regarded by the people of the ll nitedStates with the deepest solicitude. [a the enjoyment of institutions witeld recognize the in herent rights of 'non, and are founded on the ec knowledge] principle that all political power is a trust to be exercised for the benefit of the Citizen, they cannot witness the s:ru.;gle between despot ism and freedom, without ardent hopes and sin cere prayers for the triumph of liberal and enlarg ed justice. It is impossible to behold a people long the subjects of tyranny and oppression, en lightened by example and solicitous for equal en joyments. rising up beneath the burdens which centuries have heaped upon them--casting aside the reverence for power and the pride of regal splendor—looking forward to the establishment of human rights—to the elevation of the moral and social condition of society, and placing their lives and fortunes on the hazard of a struggle for these I objects—without, on our part, an earnest and anxious desire that they may succeed, That , struggle has been unsuccessful. The arbitrary , tiovernments, in whose midst the noble band of patriots erected their standard, have suCceeded, with their immense force, in maintaining tyratini cal authority, end the brave men who fought hie Leedom have either perished under the barbarous exaction', of despotic will or they wander in for-. Cigna lands, exiles from homes that no longer af ford security. It is not the policy of our Nation, al Government to motel., in the controversies of foreign nations, nor is it desirable that it should, by acts of hostility or friendship, brash up the commercial relations which exist for mutual ad vantage; hut it is, nevertheless. no violation of in. lernational law to enter our solemn protest and warning. against acts of cruelty and barbarism up• on heroic men and defenceless women. Tt is no wrong for our Government to unite with others in the expre,tion of indignation against the viola tion of national faith and national law, involved in the demand, for sanguinary purposes, of the brave defenders of human rights. , • The consideration of the Legislatursle resPeet. fully invited to the financial condition of the Com monwealth.

It is proper to Mate, Melilla appropriation made to defray the expenses - of the publication of these rehash:lions, was wholly insufficient for the purpose, and an additional sum will be re ' golfed. In the inesgage delivered at the opening of the him session, reference was made to the cit hitt apldier, who had retuned to his home after having earned for himself sod the State, in the war with Mexico, a reputation for un daunted bravery, patient suffering and heroic virtue; and the opinion was expressed, that it was due to these patriotic, citizens, that the Commonwealth should make a meltable se. knowledment for their illustrious services. No action having beeu taken on the suggestion, I would again call the subject to the attention of the Legislature. It is also proper to refer to the recommendation therein made, in relation to the death of certain °Avers of the govern ment, and the omission in the constitution to supply the traoancy. 'file subject is deemed of sutficlent importance to justify an earnest hope that legislative action may net be-with held thereon. The practice of postponing the passage asp proprintion bills to the loot day of the Session, forbids deliberation, as well to the Legislature as to the Executive, and should hereafter be a voided. These bills, requiring mire and atten tion to the specific items;`and disposing of large amounts of the public money, amid be deliberately examined before they obtain the sanction of laws. Nothing can excuse hasty and unwise legislation, on a subject so impor tant to the public interests. It is confidently anticipated that this Legislature will adopt a rule of practice more consistent with prudence, economy, and sound Volley. The intimate connection existing between the industry of the citizen, and the currency of hie country, demands for-that question the se rious attention of the statesman and lawgiver. In authorizing Banking or other Iristitetions, to create a currency other than gold and silver„ it would be unfaithful to our trusts to permit them, for want of - proper checks and guards, to allow it to become less valuable than the coin it is intended to represent.'The views expressed in the last message in favor of the restriction of the number of these institutions, to the real business wants of the people, and refusing a renewal of Bank charters until a tho rough examination of their affiiirs had demon , strated their entire solvency, remain unchang ed. The tax on banking capital, exacted by the last Legislature in the granting of charters, and applied to the payment of the public debt, has resulted in securing to that object a sum exceeding one hundred thousand dollars.-- While this tax should not be increased to an extent which would cripple the resources of these institutions, the present amount cannot be considered an unfair equivalent for the pri vileges conferred, and should therefore continue to he imposed as a legitimate source of revenue. The laws intended to prevent the circulation of notes of a less denomination than five dol lars, are practically disregarded by the ci tine ns. In a government founded on popular opinion experience would teach the impolicy of contin uing in force statutory provisions which are *morally inoperative. The violation, with im punity, of laws however unimportant, will lead to a disregard of others, indispensible to the security of society. It is indeed to he regret ted that thin, circulation has not been prevented, as much evil has bean experienced by the com• munity from the reception of this irresponsible paper. The amount in circulation within the State, supplied by institutions of adjoining States, is estimated at not less than live mid lions of dollars, and is valueless, except in lo calities near the Banks by which it is issued. To the extent of this circulation, the coalmine. tional currency, and the notes of sound specie paying Batiks of this Commonwealth are dis placed. The solvency of the institutions is suing this paper, cannot be known to the citi zens, and it passes from band to hand the re presentative of a value it mak not possess, over which our laws can have no control. In endeavoring to eradicate an acknowledged evil; the practical statesinrin will frequently lied a necessity for yielding to popular inclination, and will consult the welfare of his constiments by striving to mitigate a hat Cannot he remov ed. If, as Is alleged, the business operations of the community require a circulating medium other than gold and silver, of a less denomina tion than five dollars, n, supply under the regu lations and restrictions of our laws would not be open to the objections of the existing meth od. Were tile Hanks of the Commonwealth I nutherized to establiali agencies or branches in one or more places, and perittiskion giveresuch branches to issue said notes, upon a staitiginent in detail by the parent institution being made to the Auditor General, satisfactory to the said I officer, of the entire solvency of the said Ddnk; exhibiting its whole assets and liabilities--de signaling the proportion-of its capital stock to be employed at the said agency on branch, which in no case should exceed a graduated percentage of the said capital stock; and should deposit with the Auditor General an amount of State Stocks equal to the amount of notes to be issued; the Auditor General thereupon required to grant a license to said Bank to establish said agency or branch, and to issue said notes, ntarked by the said officer as the Issue of the said branch, and redeemable at the counter of the parent institution; a sound convertible cur rency would soon displace the present irrespon sible paper of filmigtrinaitutions, and would afford security to the citizen, without a with drawal of the necessary circulation. Notes ' issued under the foregoing restrictions, having ' their redemption secured to the manner herein F pointed out, would necessarily receive the con fidence of the people, front the fact that the stocks pledged, would, under every condition of things. ensure their eventual payment. In times of commensial revulsions the specie might be drawn from the Bank—the means of stock holders might fail—speculative value might be affixed to property--and shrewd men, watch ing the signs of the times, could release-them selves from individual liability; but the stocks of the Commonwealth would remain valuable and available for their certain redemption. Had the notes now in circulation kern the banks of the State, a basis of this character, even to a small proportion of the capital stuck of these institutions, the losses resulting front a failure to pay their liabilities would be largely dimin ished. These views are presented to the legis lature for the purpose of urging upon it the ne cessity of devising means to protect our cid semi from the losses incurred in the failure o f Banking institutions. In any well digested system it will afford me pleasure to co-operate, particularly in reference to the security of that. , portion of the currency entering so largely Into the business of the producing and laboring classes of the community. The general Manufacturing law of the last session cannot fail to be productive of decided benefit to the State and the people. Although the time which has elapsed since Its pesreep, has been insufficient to teat its advantages, the erection of large estadishments in many pla ces, which ,oust soon afford employmenx to a considerable number of the citizens, warrants, the belief that its salutary effects will be faint no distant day. Representations have been male to this de partment alleging that by the ensotion of 11 bridge over the Ohio river, at or near Whim+. ing, Ye., grestobstruction to the navigation of that highway has been produted. In times of high water in the river, the. largest clues of steamboats are unable , to pais under the bridge, and serious injury , to the commerce of the wes tern part of the State, tutiat result front Oil nuisance. Connected as is, the Ohio, with the line of internal improvemonta through Penn -11 sylvania, and furnishing to our canals and talk, roads, a large amount of merelinntlize for the Adantio market, an ob atruction of this nature will have a direct tendency to diminish the. trade on our Publics W orks; to affect the-East ern market; and materially to decrease the rev enue of the State. Resells of a character so important should warn the Legislature that speedy and energetic action is required. and that measures dictated by justice and "policy. should be resorted to with a view to the remo val of the evil. The expression of our opinions on questions more directly belonging. to she National Goy ernment, is a right arising from the stature of oor invitations, and a hero they aro riatimab•lf connected with the interests of the people. be comes a duty not to be dieregarded. Tle. r.- presentative* in Congress of the State and Mu citizens, aware of the tendency of measures on the prosperity of their constituents, and know ing the responsibility of their exalted position, must regard with becoming favor, a declaration 01 public sentiment from the State they repres ept. Entertaining these view, and persuaded that questions of vital importance to the well being of our beloved Commonwealth will claim the attention of Congress, I have deemed it right, on this occasslon, briefly to refer to a few of those which may beeonsidered of great est consequence to the welfare of the people. The adjustment of the revenue laws for the protection of the peculiar interest,' of repneYi vania, must be regehled asmaniameregfiieply affecting all climes of society. In relation to I the policy of the Nations, Government on this subject, the manufacturer, ,the artizan, the agrioultuntlist, and the lah,oper,leel alike, that their- business and 'plirsultk, ire elevated or depressed, as protection Is afforded or with held. In the history of/the past, they aro furnished with lessons for the future. 'rho events of the past season have afforded conclus ive evidence. in the closed doors and deserted buildings of the manufactories; in the distresies of the laberer, tied the gemeraL depression of profitable industry, of the impotatiim necessity for a system alms which will sustain against foreign competition, the employments of our citizens. When profitable investments, and useful capital are stricken down;—when surplus Produce finds diminished prices; and when labor is depressed, and industrious operatives are thrown out of employ ;—neither party dog mas, nor local interests. nor sectional jealousies, should prevent a united and energetic effort in our National Representatives, to restore the general prosperity. On the application for the admission of new States into the Union, the subject of the exten sion of slavery will clitirn the attention of Con gress. Our Southern brethren, united by long association and habit with this institution, and depending upon it in a large degree for their do mestic comfort and commercial advantages, will not willingly allow of its exclusion Iron, territories belonging to the General Govern ment. No disturbance is contemplated of their relations therewith, in States where it now ex ists. Ilolding their slaves by compromise and concession it would involve on our parts breach of faith, and an interference with thesovereign ty of sister Republics to intermeddle with their social policy, or to controvert the legality 1.1 thaff• domestic relations.

Thee/4- r tension of the evil beyond its present limits, I,iliseloses a very different feature. 'rho consent of the free Stites orate Union to its further pro gnaw, would evince an ignorance of their true niterests, of the rights ofjuatice arid humanity. and an indifference to the character and dignity of their common country. W here these arts implicated. it Is sit uhandonment of duty to compromise. So fully were the views of the Exeeetive expressed on the subject of the Tani - Tend the exteestnn of slavery, in a former message, that a reference to them here, as em bracing his present sentiments thereon, would appear to be sufficient. - The dissemination among the people of infer motion affecting their peace and prosperity• should be regarded as a measure idiom el whi t dont, and should be shackled by no unnecessary exactions.
