GOVERNOR'S MESSAGE.
T 1 the Senate and House of Representatives
of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania
FELLOW-CITIZENS :
The Legislative branch of the Government,
meets under circumstances calculated to produce deep emotions
of gratitude. The events of the past year cannot fail to afford
assurance of the continued mercy of the Almighty Father ofthe
Universe, and of the blessings He has dispensed to the people of
this Commonwealth, While in other parts of our country, and
in distant lands, pestilence has made fearful ravages ; leaving in
its track the wretchedness of destitution and the tears of crush
ed affections ; a healthful climate, in the disposal of a righteous
Providence, has preserved the citizens of the State comparative
ly free from the miseries of the destroyer. During a period of
war, famine and civil commotion in the old world, bringing in
their train, desolation and want ; blighting the hopes, paralizing
the industry, and ruining the prosperity of the people ; our belo
ved Commonwealth, in union with others under the National
Constitution, has enjoyed the delights of peace, and her citizens,
in the exercise of industrial pursuits, have tbund,,contentment and
competence. To the Author and Guardian of our being, whose
beneficence caused all things to work together for our good, our
reverence and gratitude are especially due.
The recent efforts for the establi , _;liment of liberal political in
stitutions in Europe, have excited in the people of this country,
the warmest sympathies. The conflict between the oppressor
and the oppressed, whatever may be the incidents or results,
having for its object a government capable of protecting and ex
tending political and social liberty, must be regarded by the
people of the United States with the deepest solicitude. In the
enjoyment of institutions which reco!mize the inherent rights of
man, and are Imincled on the acknow babred principle that all
political power is a trust to be exerei-ed fir the benefit of the
citizen, they cannot witness the strugule bAween desp , sin and
freedom, without ardent hopes and sincere prayers for the tri
umph of liberal and enlarged justice. It is im , ,ssible to behold
a people long the subjects of tyranny and oppression ;—enlight
• -A I,c our example, and ::olicitons for equal enjoyments ;—ri
sing -- iiii - Gneath the burthens which cen:aries have heaped upon
them ;—casting aside the reverence t r peia er, and the pride of
regal splendor ; looking forward t tl— establit - hinent of human
rights ; to the elevation of the moral and social condition of so
ciety ; and placing their lives and fortunes on the hazard of a
struggle for these objects ; without, on our , ..rt, an earnest, an
anxious desire that they may sine( eel. That struggle has been
unsuccessful. The arbitrary governments, in whose midst the
noble band of patriots erected their standard, have succeeded
with their immense force in maintaining tvnuinieal authority,
and the brave men who ut~l;t for freedom, ha \ e either 'perished
under the barbarous exactions of despotic 'w ill, or they wander
in foreign lands, exiles from homes that no longer afford secu
rity. It is not the policy of our National Government to mingle
in the:controversies of foreign nations, nor is it desirable that it
should, by acts of hostility or friendship, brink up the rummer-
vial relations which exist fur mutual advantage ; but it nev
ertheless, no violation of international law to enter our solemn
protest and warning, against acts of cruelty and barbarism upon
heroic men and defenceless w omen. It is no wrong for our Go
vernment to unite with others, in the expression of indignation
against the violation of national faith and national law, involved
111 the demand, for sanguinary purposes, of the brave defenders,
of human rights.
'l' I e consideration of the Legislature is respectfully invited to
the financial condition of the Commonwealth.

l'he foregoing estimated balance in the Treasury, at the cud
of the fiscal year I'so, would appear to justify the appropriation
of $40,000 toward the completion of' the \Vestern Reservoir at
Johnstown, as hereinafter r&ommended. It would ako auth
orize th e appr o priation of a sum not less than 8300,000. in ad
dition to the amount already appropriated, to be eNpciid , d in the
completion of the North Branch canal.
The Legislature at its last session authorized the rc-istie ()I
the relief notes then in circulation, and suspended their cancella
tion for three years.
The amount or the whole issn( now nutstantling, is $1)51,1 ti 1 (I()

Ikt lance,
'flw above balance has been destroyed, or has failed to reach
the Treasury during the year. These notes, th4redemption of
which being amply secured, and affording a safe vial c u m nicnt
local currency, have the confidence and the favor attic! citizens.
It is therefore recommended that authority be given to the pro
per officers, to keep them in good condition, by a new issue, in
lieu of such as may become mutilated and delayed.
In addition to the suggestions made to the last Legislature on
the subject of the monied affairs of the State, it is deemed proper
to call your attention to the (het, that a portion of the funded
debt is over dues—a part bearing an interest of six per cent ;
and a part falling due the Near 1 ..450, as Mows :
The amount of five per cent. funded debt over
due, except bank charter loans, is 8351,519 10
The am't of six per cent s funded debt over clue is 1,7512,335 00
The amount of five per cent. funded debt falling
due on or before December 1, 1850, is
The amount of uniunded debt, now due, is
Atn't demandable at the Treasury during the y'r, $3,191 2 170 19
Provision should be made at an early (lay for arrangements
with the creditors holding these claims. To permit them to re
main in their present condition, would not only evince an indis
position to pay our just debts; but would also operate injurious
ly to the holders of the stock, by compelling sales at a price be
low their par value. The annual demands upon the Treasury,
with the present means oldie State, will not permit the payment
of these loans ; and the only practicable mode which suggests
itself scorns to be the negotiation of new loans, stipulating an ex
tension of the time of payment. It is believed that such loans
could be negotiated at a rate of interest not exceeding five per
cent. Sould authority he given in the arrangements suggested,
to stipulate that the said stock should be exempt from taxation,
the inducements to investments therein would create such com
petition as would be highly advantageous to the Treasury. Jus
tice and honesty require that these debts should be promptly paid,
or arranged to the sctisfaction of the parties interested, and any
provision which the Legislature may deem proper on the subject,
will meet the cordial approbation of the Executive.
The establishment of the sinking fund, by the appreciation of
State stocks, and the consequent increase of confidence. in the
ability of the State to meet her engagements ; with the replace
ment by a new issue of the old and defaced relief notes, has bad
the salutary abet of enabling the Treasury Department with

slight expense in the exchange or transmission of means, to meet
the payment of interest on the public debt in par money, as also
to pay other creditors of the State in good fluids. The payment
of the public liabilitses in the manner aforesaid, and the adoption
of a system to extinguish eventually the public debt, must bring
to their par value, the stocks of the Commonwealth. It is esti
mated that $13,049,000 of the public stocks are held in this
country, and the addition in their value, by these simple opera
tions, demanded alike by sound policy and honesty, will increase
their marketable worth in the hands of the citizens $1,950,000.
T o the 014..1(.)((y of the State Treasurer, the Auditor General,
nail other officers charged with the collection and disbursement
of the public moneys during the past year, is justly attributable
in a high degree these fiivorable results.
The beneficialresults of thc sinking fund cannot Lc doubled.
The payments from various sources to the C , ,mniissicners, dur
ing the past year havn been as follows :
From collateral inheritance tax,

lii ( T win, confulentl) expressed that the estimated receipts
above stated %%ill he Thund to approximate the truth, should au
adherence to the policy pursued by the last Legislature, in rela
tion to premiums on charters, and other financial int asures lie
authorized and continued. Should such he the case, the above
sum, lit the present rates, would extinguish upwards of four hun
dred thousand dollars of the flunk d debt, during the present
fiscal year. The sources from which the sinking fund is sup
plied must necessarily increase. The tax on collateral inherit
ance, and on theatre, circus and menagerie licenses, prior to the
act creating a sinking fund, 1 ielded to the Treasury about the
sum of 815,000 annually. the provisions of that act, these
have been increased to the sums above stated, and the other sour
ces or revenue have been created by recommendatiens hereto
fore made to the Legislature.
With these means lbr the supply of the sinking fund, together
with such additions as the probable resources of the Treasury,
from time to time may justify, it is suseepitible of easy calcula
tion to determine, how nearly approaches the period when the
State taxes may be reiaialed, and the burthens of the people re
moved. So manifestly important are these results upon the in
dustrial pursuits (lithe citizens, and the interests and honor oldie
State, it is suggested for consideration whether good policy
would not require the transfer of all balances in the Treasury at
the end of each year to the Commissioners of the said Fund.
Every consideration that can impose itself on a government
demands the payment of the public debt. The local advanta
ges of our Comm•nmealth, the salubrity of our cliticttc, the
vastness of our mineral deposits, tlw fertility of our soil, and the
prosperity - and happiness of the people, alike require the repeal
of a system of laws ,which compel emigration, prevent the settle
ment of uncultivated lands, drive capital from our borders, and
paralyze the industry of every class of our citizens! Should
these balairces remain in the treasury unappropriated to the said
fund, the history of the past will remind us that prodigal expen
ditures N% ill he made to objects of diminished importance.
The subject of the revision and cquilization of the laws for
raisimt r' revenue, is again earnestly impressed upon tlri attention
of the Legislature. Great injustice arises r
m ew s , from the want oradequate menus to prevent or to punish
individuals making false returns of property subject to taxati , •n.
The concientious citizen, s•supulously exact in t h e perrormiowe
of his obligati o ns to society, may wall complain or laws hich
sufl;•r the dishonest to elude with impunity the pay,uent of an
equitable share of the public burthens. 'File Tax on bonds,
mortgages, and 'lioness at interest, is assess( d so unequilly that
great reasons for complaint exist throughout the State.
To remedy to some extent this evil, it would be well to re
quire the Prothonota ries of the seve:al counties, to c o llect from
the plantillS in judgements the tax thereon a s ,_•e s ,,,d, a nd if n o _
ssti ry to rotttpcl pll)np•nt by legal process, allow ing to the
oflicer entrusted with this duty a reasonable compeosalion,
t•i be paid, where the payment or•the tax is made volun'arilv,
out of the fund, and by the plantitf when the payment leis been
compelled by legal process. A similar provision with regard
to mortgages, giving the rettorders authority bethre stated in
relation to judgements, would embrace these two items of to x t
and would doubtless compel the payment of a large amount of
revenue, now fraudub tidy withheld.

The lito s subjecting" to a tax the commissioner's issued to offi
cers of this Commonwealth, should he extended to embrace com
missions to non-residents. 'l'he justice of taxing the citizens of
the State, and of permitting non-residents, xvlio hold commis
sions under the government, to enjoy the emoluments free from
taxation, cannot readily be perceived.
No effectual mode has been devised to compel the agents of
Foreign Insurance companies to make a semi-anual exhibit of
the amount of funds employed by it'd., respectivecompanie3 with
in this Commonwealth. A law having an effect of this charac
ter, is highly necessary, and would be productive of decided ad
vantage. In the enactment of such a law, it would be well to
make the certificate issued to agents of such companies, subject
to taxation.

Incorporated companies of various kinds, deriving their char
ters elsewhere, have agencies in the State, and transact business
therein, and yet no accurate account is taken of the money em
ployed, or of the valuo or profits of their investments, NV hero
the proper departments required to mkae a list of these incor
porations, and authority given to ascertain the amount of the in-
vestments, the rate of dividends declared, or the profits, made, &
a tax levied on such dividends, or profits, as well us on the capi
tal stock employed, a large revenue to the commonwealth would
be the result.
IVhile money borrowed by citizens, boroughs, and incorpor=

perceived why money borrowed by incorporated companies,
should be exempt from similar assessments. To make, an, o-.

and as disk retionary power over the money of the cut
zees must be depurated by right thinking men.
The method adopted in the management of the Public Wo,
is evidently defective. Repairs-on the canals and railroads an'
made in a wcly to prevent all competition. Were the sew
services performed by contract, and awarded to the lowest bid
der, giving the required security, can thereexist a doubt ()flavor
able results to..the public interests.
ThltiLStAteAnes not derive an adequate share of the profits
; risinrnm the use of the i': , !.mtbia railroad. The constructeee
of the road ; its maintenance and supervision, and the supply o'
the motive power, involving great expense and risk, demand Cron
the profits of the road a larger return than finds its way to the
Treasury. An evil so deterimental to the public interest cal't
-
fora speedy remedy.
It is suggested that the Canal Commissioner should be ree,iie
ed to invite proposals for furnishing the motive power on tle
said road, stipulating in detail the services lobe performed; ari•
the nature of the seem itv to be given. The object being to
cure competition in die supply of motive power, encouragemere
should be given to individuals, willing to undertake the duty cei
running one or more locomotives on the road, whether belong.-
ing to the Sate, or the individual bidder. Should the locom:
fives belonging to the State, be furnished to the bidders, the con
tract should stipulate the terms on which they should be used.
; The transportation of passengers should be done by contract
with the lowest bidder. In agreement, it would be necessary
that the canal commissioners should fix the kind of ears, an:
such other details as would secure the accommodation of th ,
passengers, and thithfully guard the public interest.
i In the transmisi , n of burden cars, an arrangement might
well be made with their owners, by which the State would re
ceive instead of the present tolls, a portion of the freight char
ges. The consequeneQs would be advantageous to both parties.
These changes in the present system, would, it is believed,
largely diminish the expenses of the Motive Power ; would au
thorise a reduction in the rafe of tolls; produce au increase ce
business upon the road ; furnish with profitable labor many citi
zens now refused employment by reason of the monopoly held
by the State (A er the Motive Power on the road ; prevent Oa

The practii e of contracting debts for repair,•, and for the
purchase of materials beyond appropriati o ns these purposes,
should be prohibited by severe penalties. Nothing can be more
destructive of all accountability, or °au. stronger inducements
to extrevagance, than such a power over the public money.—
and officer guilty of an act °IOUs kind, violiiti.s the trust com
mitted to hint, and should he fortlmith dismissed from the pub
lic service. Debts already contracted in this way should be
paid, for the labor in behalf of the state has been performed
and it would inflict an injury on those who could not have
knowledge of the wrong, to withhold from them the value of
their services ; but immediate. measures should be adopted to
prevent recurrences of a like nature in future.
A practice of this kind, authorised in sumo measure by sub.
sequent appropriations, of the legislature, for the payment of Hu;
debts thus contracted, cannot fail to mislead the people, and
embarrass the public officers in their estimates and recommer.•
dations. The large appropriations for the payment of old de!_it:
made at the last session of the legislature, show the extent tti
! which the practice has been carried, and should admonish
to guard against the recur, nee of the evil. In providing by b -
gal enactment against the mischief here stated, authority might,
be given to the Canal commissioners, should it be deemed • •rw
cessary, to meet (It funencies in the funds provid2d for any lin.-
of improvements; to draw from a specific appreptititions for that
purpose, requiring from them a detailed . and spocH report ca,
the subject, to the auditing dripartnrnt as well as tO the stteco '
ding legislature.

exemption should be allowed to any class of citizens over anoth

foregoing objects of taxation, will not only increase the reve
nue, but is demanded alike lly justice and sound policy.
Next in importance to the public debt, and the equalization of
the taxes, is the management of the public improvements. The
vast expendituies annually made for the repair and supervision
of these works, and the amount of revenue derived therefrom;
