There has been, of late, a tensiblo rise in the value cf real estate in this city and vicinity, and qtiitih speculative feeling is predicted the com ing Reason. Bo this as it may, there is no dan ger of porehasing real cslate in' this city, or vi cinity. There has been a quiet and steady ad vance for a long series ol year?, at some times more rapidly than others, bnt there has ocwi a retrograde movement,as a general thing, for}he last-twenty five years, and there is now less likelihood e ver of such an eveot. The probabilities are that the advent cf railroads among us will increase the' valae of all the real estate in the neighborhood, to the full Taioe of the cost of the roado—certainly to « grater value than Pittsburgh has subscribed in - stocks The sales,to day, being positive, and for cash, will form corns criterion for the rating cf pro peity in.their vicinity. MKSBAOn OF GOV. JOHSSTOS. j We are enabled, through the thoughtful! politeneraof (Jot.. Johnston, in lay-the an-j null message, which Wad . rend to the two fcmues yestnriay, before our readers this! morning, .without the expense and trouble I of 'telegraphing it. Copies, sufiicioul to sup- 1 ply tile press of the city, were forwarded by I mail, to the Post Master, and delivered v ■ the offices on the receipt of a despatch an-j nouncingitßdeliTeryinHarTiaburgh. What a world of trouble and anxiety this has saved -the press 1 Printers every where will .'.‘appreciate it, and heartily thank ottr worthy Governor for his considerate kind ness-. tOf tha message itself, we are hapgy to say, it .is a document honorable to the State, to its anthor, and to the Whig party. | But in place of any. strictures of our own, -.which time scarcely suffices us to prepare for to-day’s paper, we cordially adopt the following, from the Harrisbnrgh Tilegraph, which will be read with general pleasure: THE GOVERNOR’S MESSAGE. We hazzard nothin- in saying that the ytinfct message oi Governor Johnston, which we present to our readers to day, is the ablest paper that ever issued from the Executive Department of Pennsylvania.— It’is a document that will challenge the highest admiration ot the.people, not only of . Pennsylvania, but also of our sister . States. The eloquent acknowledgment of the continued mercy of Divine Providence, ‘op exemplified' in the event*, of the past year, will tonch a responsive chord iu.the Bosoms of. ali devout and reverential citizen*. 'The language of this portion of the Message is, expressive or the sentiment* of a mind pro foundly touched with a.sense of the mighty, obligations wh are under to the “Author and Guardian of our being, v “whose be neficence, ” in the earnest language of the Message, has “ caused all things to work together for our good; 1 ' arid it cannot fail to awaken the deepest emotions of gratitude for the signal immunities and blessings we have eojoyed.; The fearful ravages of the pestilence in distant lands, and in other; partsof our own country, and wars, famine, j and civil commotions which have blighted i the hopes, and ruined the industry and pros parity of the people of Europe, are put in strong >nd powerful contrast with the health and happiness of our own State, and-the peace and prosperity which have been so eminently enjoyed by the whole American people. ■{. The struggles for liberty in the old world - have not failed to elicit the warmest sym -7 parities of the'Executive; and he has evident* ■ \j participated, to the fullest extent, in the feelings wltioh he bo eloquently and truth fully describes, He has undoubtedly min. gled his own earnest aspirations upon this, •ntiject with thesincerest heart-throbs .of the American people. “It is impossible,” says ' the Message,’“tobehold apeople the subjects | and oppression;—enlightened by | . otif'example,' and solicitous for equal enjoy manta; —ruing j op beneath the burthens which'centnries have heaped upon theta; citing aside the reverence for power, and the pride of regal eplendor,-looking for ward to the establishment, of hnman rights; to the elevation of the moral and social con . ditionof eoeietyy—and placing their bvee end fortnnee on the hazard of a struggle for thooe objecta;—without, on our part, an eat neet, ananriona desire that they may sue .... detailed discussion of financial affairs is ie first enbject of local concern which has engaged tha attention of the Executive, in SShe ha*presented a comprehensive and hoM statement of the finabial condit.on of • the State, exhibiting the wisdom and .sound policy oftheise measure* pf relief and improv -rnentTrhiehwore recommended by. him to the Ust.Legislatiire.' j The balance in theTi the'fiscal y|»r 18M, -it $531,500,00. This, it i* ire the appropriatiorr of Ibaa $300,000, in additi ready appropriated, to - completion- ofriie North * xjjo establishment ol bcflirhighly beneficial in iais’.ng>th 6 price of the State stocks, • and io increasing the confidence in file ability of the State to meet jt, f onpagamenu. The excellence of tbi* [ institution has been folly and satisfactorily. demonstrated by its practical workings the {past year, and its beneficial results cannot Ibe doubted. The payments from various sources, to the credit of this fond, during the t past year, have amounted in the aggregate i to the sum of S? 71,000. With these means, for the supply of the sinking fund, together with such additions as the probable resour- ces of tbe Treasury, from time to time, may justify, it is susceptible of easy calculation to nearly approaches the peri od when the State taxes may be altogether repealed, and the burthens of the people re Several important recommendations are made in regard to the management of die public improvements. Tne present system, it ia alleged, invites unnecessary expendi tures, and removes ‘ responsibility from the proner department. It is the opinion of the Executive that were the number of Cana] Commissioners increased to five, to be elect ed hy districts, and these directed to assume, in addition to the general supervisory duties now performed, by the Commissioners, the particular daties of supervisors and super visors, and the present corps of super intendents wholly dispensed with, much practical information of interest to the -'.ate would be acquired, and a more direct re .pousibility forthe well-ordered cond.t.on nl the Public Works, and the economy ot ev perils secured. The mamlest wisdom or this proposition, i will commend il'to the favorable considera : lion of every unprejudiced mind. At pres-1 ant thereto no guarantee whatever ior the economical use and satety of the public 1 money. It is pnl into the hands of superin-1 tendetils and supervisors, who are respon sible for their conduct only to the Canal 1 Commissioners, who, on their part, aFe re sponsible to no one. The laws bearing upon this subject, onght to be so amended n» to place some check upon the personal discre tion of subordinate officers. Until very re cently, no account of their expenditures ha* bean required of supervisors and supenn tendsnts employed upon the public works. They have been permitted to draw from the i Treasury at will, and to apply the monies, thus drawn as they saw fit, without being, called upon to render any account. That, gross and insufferable abuses should be come inseparable from such a system can not be wondered at. The whole manage ment of the'public works has been little' else than a gigantic scheme *"of fraud and peculation; and Governor Johnston will have the unfeigned thanks of every honest citi zen for thus laying the axe at the root of. this great evil. Under a continuance ot Whig rule, these stupendous corruptions would have been speedily annihilated. As it ib, however, with a large majority of the Legislature opposed, in principle, to the Ex ecutive, the utmost he could do, was to man ifest a warm desire for the introduction oi all needful and proper reforms. Notwithstanding the revision of the las: Legislature of the laws in relation to com • raon schools, the system wUi require modi fication. It does not receive from the citi zens, says "the message, the favor that a sound and enlightened system oi education deserves, and the evil, it is thought, must exist in tne laws which control us.practicr operations. important modification? of the la regard to Bankjmi and Currency, ate pi posed by the Executive The - n-ner ot Banking institutions should be restricted to die real btwiner wauls ol the people; and it is recommended that uo Bank charter be renewed until a thorough examination of the iusitQtion shall have demonstrated itr entile solvency. The laws intended to pre vent the circulation ot notes of a less de nomination than.live dollars, are pracui disregarded by the citizens, h U therefore recommended that toe Banks o: the t am moiiweailh Us authorized :j establish agen cies or branches, in onset more places, w.u. permission to issue notes under the denoi ation of five dollars, to be based upon a t! ooaite of State Slock in tne hands of the Treasurer, which are to be at all times liable lor itietredemplion of tiie notes thus issued. Tliis is a wholesome and practical modifica tion ofilho plan we have heretbtora presented to' our readers through tho coinin' Telegraph, and will assuredly men: the high est approbation of the people. Though ■ almost wholly devoted, as it should be, to subjects of local interest, there lls a spirit of cathcdieitv in the Message, as broad as the Union itself. The patriotic ken of Governor Johnston, in surveying the broad expanse of Uniied Stales territory, can no whero recognize the limit oronc single, ni ted, homogeneous American sentiment Standing upon the soil of a State dial is ; bounded by Mason & Dixon’s line, and holding a position between die two great extremes of the Union, which may be said to command them both with equal facility. ho yet recognizes no political distinction be- j tween the one and the other. Tho solemn , injunction of the Father of his country, ' in- > dignantly to frown first dawning , ol every attempt tu alienate ono portion oi our country from tho rest, ’’ has impressed itself with deep and lasting force upon his enlarged American heart; and die whisper- I togs of native patriotism have prompted him to the forcible and eloquent utterance of sim ilar sentiments. Tne patriotism of Governor Johnston, as it is here exhibited, is that oi no sectional school. Us pnre and gushing waters were imbibed from springs wmch, welling np in the centre, have bad their sources in the widest limits of the Republic. The following quotation, upon this subject, does equal honor to his head and hoard, and wilt lain for him a reputation for enlarged and liberal patriotism, which might well be covetud by any statesman in ■ the land. II When, ” says this admirable document’ '■sectional interest; and jealousies contend for supremacy, apd’sectional rights are to bo determined; when questions between States are controverted, and disregard of na , tional laws is manifested; in peace and . 1 war, to prosperity and adversity; in foreign j or domestic difficulties; the citizens of l’eun sylvania turn with abiding confidence to tho National Constitution. Neither tho thirst for power, nor the phrenzy of party; nor the prostration of their peculiar interests, can Bhake their allegiance to the National Gov ernment, or raise with thorn thu traitor cry of disunion.” Ta dl» Snow sad Hsusai’/ Rtp> lMS' -Cf Tf/iniyA''l"l'l Felmv.^Cinzans—'Tmo Lcgis'auve branch of the Government, meet* uoilcr circuinsUiHC** cal cu’aied to produce deep emet-on* o| itrauiudr The event* of tiie past year cannot f-ui u> fitbrn a-iurance of tbu couliuued oieroy ol the Almighty Falter ol the Univcrae, and of lho b.c--o.atta 11,■ hasdirahiM*! lo lire people ' ,rihl * f-tmmon wcaUht Whflo ■“ olMf !•*•*» of ™ r ” u ",'7' ■*“ io da.tint land,, pesliten. e tree made fearful raair in on tract the wrelchedcecaof dcnli -SS;:|SHSS?£>= s£j@BSirSrtS hope, l,#U V—tn# the industry. nud ruutmjj lbe prcwjKri paralysing Urn * Commonwealth, in. ly Natunul CVmtmi.

U is estimated that SIV 019,000 of the public stocks are held in Ibis coun try, and the addition in their value, by these simp*** operst.cn*, demanded alike by aound policy and honexiy. will increase their marketable worth m the bunds of the citizens 51,950,000. To foe efficiency of the Stale Treasurer, the Auditor General, and other officers charged with the col* lection and disbursement of the publie monies doring the past year, Is justly attributable in a high decree these favorable results. The beneficial results of the sinking fund can not be doubled. The payments from various sources to the Commissioner?, during the past year have been as follows: From collateral inheritance tax, " I'remism on charters. n Killing e purpose, for ihc year ending lv-c.

Should such be thecase, the above rum, at «‘>e present rates, would extinguish upward" o* war hundred thousand dollars «f the funded debt, our* mg the present fiscal year. The sources from which the sinking fund is supplied most neces •unly increase. The tax on coUaleralinUentancc, and on. theatre, circus, oud menagerie ''c® o *** prior t.> the act creating a sinking land.' yie.de^d to the Treasury aboat the sum of $15,000 arnnally. By the provisions of that act, these have been in creased la the sums above staled, and the other sources of revenue have been created by recom mendations heretofore made to the Legislature. With these means lor the supply of the sinking land together with such additions as the probablu , resource* of the Treasury from time.to Umc may justify, it is susceptible of easy calculation to de -1 termine.how nearly approaches the period when I the State taxes may be repealed, and toe burthens , Icf the people removed. So manifestly important I are these results upon the industrial pursuits ol the citizens, and the interests and honor of the | I Slate, it is suggested for consideration whether | I good policy would not require the transfer ot an I balances tn the Treasury at the end of each year, ' Ito the Comrmrsioncra cf the said Fund. .♦ ■ I Every consideration that can impose itscif on n 1 I government demands the payment of the public | debt.

Should these balances remain in the Treasury 1 unappropriated to tbe said Fund, the history of , the past will remind u* that prodigal expenditures will bi made to objects of diminished importance | ' Th- subject of the revision and equalization ol i the laws for raising revenue, is again earnci'ly i Dressed upon the attention or the Legislature. Great injustice arises under existing enactment?, from the want of adequate means to prevent or to I punish individuals making false returns r.l prop* I ettv subject io luxation The conscientious ciu. zea "crupuloos'y exart in the performance.. f.iw obligations to society, may well complain of aw» i which suffer the dishonest to elude with impunity the payment of an ..jui-able share of the public burthen- The lax on lands, mortgages, and mo neys at ’iaterest, i* awesced so unequally, that great reason for complaint exists ta.-opgbout the Stale. To remedy to some extent this evil, iv would be well to require the Protbonot«nes of the several counties, to collect from the Plaintiffs u» Judgments the UX thereoo assessed, and if no ressarv to compel payment by legal process, ab wing to the officer entrusted with this duly ■ onab e compensation, to be paid, where the at of the lax is made voluntary, out or the indby ths.

The tax on Banking capital, exacted by the last Legislature in the granting of charters, and applied 10 the payment of the public debt, has re- Hulled in se-urmg to that object a wm exceeding one hundred thousand dollars. White this tax pliould not be increased to an extent which would cripple the resources of these institutions, the pre sent amount cannot l>« considered an unfair equivalent fir ike privileges conferred^ndshould theref ire continue to be imposed aa a legitimate source cf revenue. Thii Uws intended Jo prevent the circulation ot note* •>! a less denomination than five doll&re, are practically disregarded by the citisens. In a gov ernment founded on popular opinion, experience would tench the impolicy of continuing in foree statiuorv provisions, which are generally inopera* live. The violation, with impunity, of laws, how ever unimportant, will lend to a disregard of oth ers. mdispensible to the security of society. It is, indeed, to tw regretted that this circulation has not been prevented, as much evil has been experi enced bv the community, from the reception of itus irresponsible paper. Tne. amount m circula tion witnm the State, supplied by institutions ot adjo n ng Stale*, is estimated at not less th in five mti'ions of dol'ar*. ar.d i* valueless, exo-pt in lc eolilie* near the Banks by which it ia issued. To iho exteut ol this circnlauon, tae constitutional cur rency. nnd the note ofsound specie paying banks oftbc Cotnmo. wealth are diaplsced. The solven cy ('fine institutions issuing this paper cannot be known to tne citizens, nnd it passes from hand to hand the fcpmsentativ * of n value it may not t>oa over which our laws can haye no control. ' In endeavouring to eradicate an acknowledged en'.tbe pranicsl Statesman will frvqaeniiy find tor yielding to popular Inclination, and will consult the welfare of his constituents by stri ving to mitigate what cannot be removed. If,as i* oiL-ged, the husiues* opperstions of the commu nity require n circulating medium, other than gold nnd stver. of a less denomination than five dollars, a suppiy under the regulations and rotretions ol our laws would noi be open to the objection* of the existing method. Were the Banks ofthe Com raonwealih authorized to establish agencies or branches m one or more places, and permission g.ven >U'-h brunches to i**ne said notes, upon n statement in detail by the parent institution being made to the Audi'or Genera', satisfactory to the 1 said officer, of the entire solvency of the said Bant; *« minting it* whole awet* nnd liabilities-designa- I ting the proportion of .M c«|stal slock to be em ployed at the said agency*."? branch, which in no .•as.* should exceed a graduated percentage of the said oai-iiul M«ek; and should dopcute with the AuJitor General an nmoont ol Slate.Slocksequal to the amount of notes to be issued; the Auditor t'rencrs! thereupon required Jo grant n liebeac lo *nid Bank lo establish said agency or branch, and to issue wiid notes, marked by the said officer na the wue of tho said branch and redeemable at ibe rmuUer of the parent insiilution a sound con vertible currency could sooadisplace the present irresponsible psi>er of foreign institution*, and would i. (ford security to the citizen, withoula with drawal ol tho necessary circulation. * Notes issued under the foregoing restrictions, having their redemption secured in Ibe manner herein i-oioted out, would ncresiumly reoeiye the confidence of the people, from tho fact thalthe stocks pledged, would, undar every condition of things .ensure ibeir eventual payments In times of commercial convulsions the specie might be drawn from the vaultsoflhe Bank,—Uie means of siockholdera might fail,— speculative value might bo affixed to property* shrewd men, watching ihc Sian, of the times, could relcaso tnemselves from individual liability;—hut the stocks ofthe Commonwealth would remain valuable and avail able tor their certain redemption. Had Ike notes now m circulation from the bankß of the Slate, a basis of this character, oven lo a small proportion 41 the capital atoefe of these institutions, the tosses resulting I’romo failure lo pay their liabilities would bu largely diminished. , . , These views are presented to tho Legislature for the purpose "f urging upon'the necessity of de vising means tc prolec.Oi.ur citizens from the los m;- incurred in the |Vdur« ofßanking Institutions. In any wc I digested system it will afford me pleas ure to co-ntmroto, particularly in reference lo tho security cfthni portion of the currency entering *o iargely into the business cf the producing and ial»orir_- dosses of the community.
