war. The H’aull, indeed, was not doubt

among nations. lur their uttconquerable
bravery,‘ unsurpassed skill in military til

enemies in physical and mental qualities,
victory was the necessary consequence;

prolound regret. lor the sacrifice ol human

it is lherelnre gratifying to know that
the war has lully terminated, and that
Peace. the rational desire oi all, sheds at

country. To the Almighty Father, who
in mercy turned the hearts ol the rulers
ol both countries. to lay a~ide the sword.
to cultivate the spirit ol brotherly kind
certs, and to establish peacelul relations
between the citizens ol their respective
governments. we owe the deepest & rnost
lervent gratitude. The abundance at our
harvests. the blessings of continued arid
general health. and the preservation «l our
civil and religious rights, as guaranteed
to us by the tree institutions at our coun
try; while destitution. misery. anti can
vulsed governments, and procattous civil

hearts I lervent acknowledgement ol Hts

In the late contest with Mexico. this
Commonwealth was called upon by the
'National Government. to furnish ii por

our Commonwealth complied with the a

the Commonwealth, the hue Gov. Shunk.
has sunk beneath the tnalndy uhich tnen
afflicted him. He died on the 20th (lay
at July. 1848.
It Will not be deemed improper in me
to my a lew wordit tn reletenw to the
character at the illustrious tlecemed.
The late Governnr Shunk having spent
a huge portion ul his Itle iii the public ser

him until the hour olhls dissolution.
The [lt-gislnlure is reuiicctfuijy Invited

Prior to the deceit-eel Gov. Shook: on
the 9th day of July. 1848. art appears by
the records in the State Department. he
resigned the office of Governor ol this
Commonwealth. and thereupon. under the
provisions of the 14th section of the 2nd
article of the Constitutionl which (iFCifl'ed'
that "in crtieuf the (It'tllh ur resignation
of the Governor. or of his removal from

duties of the Executive Department ol the
Government devolved on me.
()flicial information of the act of resigns

ofJu|y.lB4B. The section of the constir
ititioe herein referred iii also de:|ared in
reference to the same subject. that ‘*in such
case another Governor shallbe chosen at

unless such death. resignation or removal
shall occur urihin three calendar months
immediately preceding such next annual e
leciton ; in which case a Governor shall be
chosen at the second succeeding annual ev

relating to the elections of this Common

its erection, until some modification should
be made in the law under which they were
