IL That this is the end aimed at is
palpable from the foregoing statements,
as well as from the facts that this addi
tional legislation is asked for by individu
als totally unconnected with the Medical
pepartment or either of the Boards of Trus
tees, and against the express protests of
both the Medical Faculty and the Parent
Institution.
We have taken the trouble to collate the
facts bearing upon the movement, because
we are satisfied that 'a simple reading of
them must so thoroughly expose its du
plicity and injustice, as to render its , en
actment into law by an intelligent Legis
lature utterly impossible. The Medical
Department of Pennsylvania College has
now been in existence some fifteen years,
during which time it has been sustained by
the fostering care of the Parent Institu
tion. Its present Faculty is distinguished
for the pre-eminent ability of the gentle
men composing it. This now attempt to
break it down, is not only a gross outrage
upon propriety, but so glaring a wrong to
the Parent Institution and the Department
itself, that it should be iniouted froin the
halls of legislation.

clearly expressed and defined.. Side by

declaration at the rights of the people„ rec

principles of liberty and free government.
To guard against the transgression of the

of t h e citizen, thus declared, will be both
a duty and a pleastire, in full harmony with

and justly the glory of our country. To

The framers of our Constitution under
lined this. and wisely provided for the es

by all.
To improve the efficiency of this sys
tem, not only by perfectiitg our common
schools, but by encouraging and aiding

in which teachers can be trained and quali

which will at all times receive my willing

In. the perliirmatices of the duties now

plough, the loom, and the anvil, unite in the
'roduction of wealth. commerce; by her
thousand avenues, is bearing their valuable
fipOibundent products to our marts of trade.
Atitidst all these great interests, and their
tapiti anti almost romanic development, it
• matter ol congratulation that Agricul.
lure, .in its various departments. has a
wakened public attention to its importance,
and claimed received from science the
tribute of its aid. Pennsylvania, so deeply
iOtereated in the success of her agricul
tural industry, cannot be indifferent to the
laudible efforts now making to perfect and
tultance this first, and, noblest, pursuit of
tifirt.-,..This, and all other branches of in.
- dainty, should receive the loitering care
and .encouragement of the Government.
The interests of our great commercial
emporium should receive the considerate
attention of the Legislature. Her manu
factures, trade and commerce, are of great
!and increasing importance, and Philadel
l phis, as consolidated, iu population, wealth,
! enterprise and intelligence, ranks and ri
vals the first cities the Union. To
make her the first among the cities of the
country, should be the pride of every
Pennsylvanian. Her interests are so identi
fied with the interests of the State, that
they cannot be separated without injury
to both. A. prudent Red liberal system of
legislation, appropriate to her real wants,
would promote' her own and the interests
of the Commonwealth.
A sound currency is essential to the
prosperity of a commercial people. All
elasses of society, and every branch of in
dustry, in their varied interstate and' eco
nomical relations, are interested in secu
ring and maintaining a safe circulating me
diutn. To accomplish this result, wise
and prudent, legislation is necessary.—
The creation of a well regulated, and care
fully 'guarded system of hankieg, isnot on
ly sound policy, but beneficial to the le
goimate trade and commerce of the coun
try-mind aids in developing her greet na
tural and industrial resources. Our pres
ent system of banking, with the limitations
restrietions and liabilities, individual and
otherwise, imposed by law on these in
stitutions. has heroine the settled policy
of the State. The checks and guards
thrown around them should not he lessen
ed or, removed. Their own safety, and
die security of the public, require their
emoineance.
'Notice of numerous intended applica
tions to the Legislature for new banks, an
increase of banking capital and savings
institutions, has been given as required by
the constitution. W idiom desiring to as
sume a hostile attitude towards all banks,
the propriety of incorporating all that may
be called for, under the notice given; can
not be justified or defended. The ex
tr'a'vagant, improper or unreasonable in
crease of banks and banking capital, is
not demanded by the wanted the commu
nity, and will not, and can not be sanction
ed by the Executive. The present com
mercial and financial embarrassment of
the country ; the depressed slate of trade ;
all past experience, and.the more recent
exprience edema of our sister States, as
seen in their ruined banks and depreciated
currency, demonstrate the necessity of
legislating cautiously and prudently ou
this subject. ,
The number of banks, ar.d consequently
the amount of banking capital, should be
limited to, and regulated by, the proper
demands of active and healthy- trade, and•
the actual business wants and necessities
of the community. This policy, honest
ly insisted upon and pursued, would pro
tect the country from , the disastrous.con
sequences of improvident banking An
extraordinary and unnecessary increase of
banks and banking facilities, in seasons
of great general prosperity, leads to -ex
travagant and ruinous speculation. Such
increase in times of commercial distress,
aggravates and prolongs the evils it was
designed to remedy. Entertaining these
views I will not hesitate to sato:Lion the
re-chattering of old and solvent banks,
which by prudent management, and lion
eat
adherence to the legitimate purposes
of their creation, have merited and received
the eorifidenc'e'of the public. ffinr will
refuse to sanction the incorporation of new
banks, when indispensably necessary and
clearly demanded by the actual business
wants and interests of the community in
which they may lie located. To no other,
and under no other circumstances, can I
yield the Executive consent.
To promote the welfare and prosperity
of the Commonwealth, by regulating and
increasing her finances, economizing her
resources, maintaining her credit, reducing
her debt, and relieving liar people front
oppressive taxation, will be the objects of
my anxious desire; and to , the accomplisit
nient of which every energy of my admin
istration will be directed. The public
debt, now exceeding forty millious of
dollars, and the annual taxation neces
' guy to meet the payment of its interest,
seriously affect the great industrial inter
courstiof the State; drive labor and cap
ital front the Commonwealth ; prevent the
extension and completion of her noble
system of education, and the prosecution of
those noble schemes of benevolence,
which at once benefit, dignify and adorn a
free and enlightened people.
Every consideriatlon of State pride,
every motive of interest, require its reduc
tion arid speedy. liquidation, by every
available and practicable means. To se
cure this object, rigid economy in every
department of the government ; retrench
ment in the public expenditures ; strict
accountability in all the recieving at: die
burying officers of the Commonwealth;
and an honest and faithful discharge of du
ty by all her agents, would contribute
much and also save millions to the Tree
sury
Created by the State, in the prosecution
and management of her system of internal
improvements—a llama characterized by
“prodigality, extravagance and corrupt politi
cal favoritism"—the sale, of ther improve
ments, or at least of the "main line," as a I
means of reducing this debt, lessening taxa
tion, and saving our financial 'credit, has for
many years occupied the attention of the peo
ple,-and their representatives. Bills for the
sale of the main line have been passed by three
different Legislatures, two of which were tip.
proved by the Governors then in office. The
people, on the question being submitted to
them in 1844, decided, by a large majority, in
favor of the sale ; and yet these worke,.from
the defective character of tbe laws authorizing
the Sale, the restrictions °noshed in them,
and from other pauses, remain unsold. Pub
lic sentiment, founded on economical, moral
and' political considerations, still demands, and
the public weiNre stildrequires, their sale.
The conaideration to be paid, the mode,
teens and conditions of the sale, ought to be
carefully considered.. Just and libend induce
ments ahead be offered to purchasers; whilst
at the tune time the people should be-protect
ed against wrong and imposition. By avoid
ing the errors of former legislation, a sale on
terms favorable to ilia State, and beneficial to
the purchaser, may be secured.
It is vain to hope (bra reduction of the debt,
and relief from taxation, without a sale of the
whole, or part, of our public improvements.
Incumhered with debt, and taxed to support a
system, the management of which has been
marked by extravagance, expenditure, fiatide
lent speculation, and a reckless disregard of
public Interstate, the people demand relief and
release from these burdens. 'file press and
the ballot box have declared the popular will
on this subject, and that wilt should be obeyed.
Duty, and a conviction of its propriety, will
prompt me to give a cordial support to the
accomplishment of this object.
In this connection, and whether a sale of all
or any of the public improvements be effected
or not, the abolition , co reorganization of the
Board of Canal C'ommissioners, and the filth
atitution of some other efficient and responsi
ble system of management,' are • subjects
worthy of consideration. Every measure of
reform In this regard, calculated to increase
the efficiency end responsibility of the super
visory power; protect the interests of the
State ; and, correct the real or alleged abuses
of the present system, will receive my ap
proval.
The people having in the recent election de
cided against he passage of a law prohibiting
the manutacture and sale of spirituous liquors,
It will become the duty of the Legislature and
Executive to consider what other legislation
may be necessary to control and correct the
evils pf intemperance. Our present license
ardent, although highly penal, and corrective
of many abuses, is still defective. The facili
ty with which licenses are obtained for the
sale of malt and other liquors, Is an evil that
demands reform. The number of places in
which these are sold, should he limited by
law ; and no license granted unless, by the
Courts, and in the manner now requited in
the case of public inns and taverns ; and sub
ject to the same tegulations, restrictions'and
penalties. ' .
The desecration of the Sabbath by.a traffic
so fruitful of evil, arid 'so dernoralizing in its
results, is in dirent oppointion to the law of
God, and the moral sentiment of the people;
and is a reproaeh to the'age in which we live.
. A stringent and comprehensive law, remedial
in its provisions, and vindicating the great
law of the Sabbath, in Its physicakand moral
relations to mad, is 'required, not only' by the
mural sense of community, but would be justi
fied by every sentiment of humanity, every
consideration of philanthropy, every impulse
of pure and genuine patriotism. The history
'of Intemperance is written in tears and blood.
Pauperism, taxation and 'crime follow to Its
train. A remedy should be applied; and pub
lic sentiment, with the full force of its moral
sanction, will approve all prudent and consti
tutional legislation on this subject.
TIM pardoning power--the harmonious
blending ot enemy and jahtice In Out Constite
doe—will he exerciaed with a just regard to
these important principles. With every de
sire to extend mercy to the unfortunate and
repentant transgressor, justice, in her stern
demands ' will not be overlooked, by the' par
don of the vicious and hardened criminal.
This power has been conferred on the Ewa
tive, not to overthrow the administration of
justice, but to aid and promote is. It should
be exerciaed with great caution, and only 'v
on the most satisfactory assurance that it is
due to the condemned, and that the lights arid
security of the public will not be prejudiced
by the act. ,To prevent the abuse of this
power, and to protect the Executive froM im
positinn, notice of the intended application
should be published in the city or county where
the trial and conviction took place.
Experience has demoostrated the impolicy
of subscriptions by municipal corporadoes to
the stock of railroad companies.• This is es
pecially true in relation to county subscrip
tions. The practice should he avoided, or at
least not encouraged by future legislation.
Legislation, so far ii practicable ' should
be general and uniform. Local and special
legislation ought to be discouraged, when the
object can be obtained by general laws. Its
tendency it pernicious, and general principles,
and public good, are often sacrificed to secure
personal and private benefits.
."Omnibus
legislation" being improper in itself, and de•
moralizing in its influence, C4llnot receive my
sanction. The views and practice of my lin
mediate predecessor on this subject. meet my
cordial approval.
Pennsylvania, occupying as she does an
important and proud position in the sister.
hoed of States, can not be indifferent to the
policy and acts of the National Government.
Her voice, potential for good in other days,
ought not to be disreeardeti now. Devoted to
the Constitution and the Union—as she was
the first to sanction, she will be the last to en
danger the one, or violate the other. Reirard
ina with jealous care the rights of her sister
States, she will be ever ready to defend her
own. The blood of her sons poured out on
the many battle-fields of the Revolution, ite.
•tests her devotion to the great principlea of
American freedom—the centre-truth of A med.
can recublicanism. To the Constitution in
all its integrity;-to the Uition in' its strength,
and harmony; to the maintainance in its puri
ty, of the faith and honor of our country, Penn
sylvania now is, and always has been pledged
—a pledge never violated, and not to he vio
lated, until patricitism ceases to be a virtue,
and liberty to be known only ass name,.
Entertaining these sentiments, and actuated
by an exclusive desire to promote the peace,
harmony and weltare of' our beloved country,
the recent action of the National Congress and
Executive, in repealing a solemn compromise,
only less sacred in public estimation titan the
Constitution itself—thus attem piing to ex
tend the institution of doitienite Slavery in
the territorial domain of the Nation, violating
the plighted faith, and loinor of the Sountry,',
arousing sectional jealousies. and renewing
the agitation of vexed and distracting questions
—has received from the people of our own
and other States ofthe Union, their stern and
merited rebuke. • •
With no desire to restrain the full , and en
tire constitutional rights of the State, nor to I
_interfere directly or Indirectly with their do
mestic institutions, the people of Penney Ivan.
is view the repeal of the Missouri Coin
promise, the principle involved in it, and the
consequences resulting from it, as marked al
ready by fraud, violence, and strife; have re
affirmed their opposition to the extention of
slavery into territory now free, and renewed
their ,pledge "to the doctrines of the act of
1780. which relieved us by conatittnional
means from a grievous social evil ; to the great
ordinance of 1787. in its full scope and all its
beneficent .principles; to the protection of the
personal rights of every human being • under
the Conetitution of Pennsylvania, and the
Constitution of the United States,' by main
.taining, inviolate _tbe trial by jury, and the
writ of habeas corpus; 'to the assertion of
the due rights of the North, as well. as of
the South, and, to the integrity of the Union."
The declaration 'of these doctrines, is but
the recognition 'Of the fundamental principles
of freedom and human nghts. They are nei
titer new nor startling. l'hey were taught by
patriotic fathers at the watch-fires of our coon
try's defenders ; and ,learned amid the bloody
snows of Valley Forge, and the mighty throes I
of war and revolution. They were stamped
with indelible impresiupon the great charter
of our rights, and embodied in the legislation
of the best and purest days of the 'Republic;
have, filled the hearts, and fell burning from
the lips of orators and Statesmen, whose memos
rtes are immortal as the pinciples they cher
ished. They have. been the watch-word and
the hope of millions, who have, gone before
tie, are the watchword andthe hope of millions
now, and. will be of millions yet unborn.
In many other questions of National and truly
'American pulicythe due protection of Amer
ican labor and industry;egainstthe depressing
influence of foreign labor and capital ; the im
provement.of our harbors and rivers; the Na
tional defences; the equitable distribution of
the proceeds of the public lands among the
Stites, in aid,of education and to relieve from
debt and taxation; a judicious "homestead
bill e'reforrn in the naturalization laws; and
the. production of our country against the im
migration and importation of foreign paupers
and convicts—in all these, we, as a State and
people, are deeply interested ; and to their
adoption and promotion every encouragement
should be given. . •
To the people of my native State, who have
called me to preside over her destinies, I rer
turn the tribute of my wannest gratitude for
the honor conferred ; and my pledge to them
this day is, that "I will try" to realize their
expectations, and not betray their confidence.
In assuming the responsibilities of' this high
office, I would. be false to myself and to the
feelings that now oppress me ' should I hesi
tate to affirm ' my unaffected distrust in my
ability to discharge its appropriate duties in a .
manner commensurate with their importance.
111 cannot secure,
.I will labor to deserve the
confidence and approbation of my fellow chi
zoos. I do not expect, I dare not hope, to
escape censure. Deserved censure' will strive
to avoid, all others to disregard. Conscious
of the rectitude of my intentions; with no am
bitious desires to gratify; no resentments to
cherish; no wish, but for the public good ; it I
will be my endeavor to perform every duty j
faithfully and fearlessly, and having done this,
will abide the judgment of a generous people;
assured that if they condemn the act, they
t will at least award to me the tneed of goud
Intention.
With the constitution for my guide ;
and exact justice to all" my desire; the great
est good of the greatest number my object—
and invoke ng'the aid and blessing of the God
of our fathers, anti desiring to rule in His fear—
my duty, and highest ambition, will be to pro
mote the true interests of the State, maintain
our civil and religious privileges, defend the
honor, and advance the prosperity and happi
ness of our Country.
