the people of this country the warmest sympri
titles. 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. , •

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

and will consult the welfare of his constiments

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

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

will have a direct tendency to diminish the.

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

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

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

citizens. When profitable investments, and
useful capital are stricken down;—when surplus

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,

Of Smanner hours.

Like the ocean surge,
Let um chaunt a requiem to pawing time,
As its flight it wings
O'er earth'. fading things. •
Adieu to the old year! Hie glory redo

For hie form bath grown oil,
And his minutes ire told.
His grey straying locks are brashodkoat hI. brow,
And 'the few den gleaming

As the strong night winds make hie old heed bow s
And his low bent form
Quakes amidst the storm.

Where the years gone by
All gathered lie;
And his eyes are fixed on his beckoning grave---•
His long staff is weak.
And he does not speak.
For his faltering tongue is in silence hotbed
Aral his lips move not.
What! bath he forgot
The sweet voice ofsong that forth from him pelted
In the joyous hour.
Of spring time bowers?
Oh! he is toothless and aged, entlsoon shin tla
In the sepulchre gloom
Of the dresr, damp tomb—
His snails broken. and he kneels to die,
And slowly sinks to hie mother earth'sbassisk
Like a warrior taking his final rest.

And an anthem ofjoy begin . .
To the bright young year—
Chibl of hope and fear—
As it wakes to its first-born der.
All hail to the joyous hours
That it brings with their wordless Miss;
The gay spring buds and opening dower's—
The heart's young loves—the sinless kise--•
That it showers on our onward way.
Come, welcome the gay young year;
llirow grief to the winds end care;
With fast coming visions of hope let or ellwie
The scenes that it soon shall lay bare.

And bathe in the waters bright,
