the Legislature. 1 leel that I need not
urge this duty. The system has been
gaining in strength and tisciiiiness for a
ipouter of a century, until it lias silenced
opposition bv its beneficent fruits. It has
at times languished for want ot jast ap
I propi iatioii -, fi'iim changes and ameini
1 moists of the law, said perhaps irom in-
1 its adi
niistiiition ; hut it has
s-uiinouiitcd every uniicuity and is now
regarded by the enlightened and patriotic
of every political faith as the grand bul
wark of safety for our free institutions.
j The manner in which this subject is pre
sented to the Legislature, by my immedi
ate predecessor, iu his annual message,
fully harmonizes with public sentiment;
and Lis recommendation for aid to the
Farmers' High School of rennsylvania
meets my most cordial approbation. In
vited to the rich prairie lands of the West,
where the labor of the husbandman is
simple and uniform, w hen population has
filled our valleys, it passes away from our
highland soilsVhere scientific culture is
required to reward labor by fruitfulucss
and plenty out of comparative sterility.
While individual liberality has done much
for au institution that is designed to edu
cate the farmer of the State, the School
languishes for want of public aid. Au
experience of ten years has fully demon
strated that the institution can be made
self-sustaining; and it requires 110 aid
from the. Stare except ibr the completion
of the buildings iu accordance with the

The veto power con i erred upon the Kx

and not without serious apprehensions as
to its abuse, by the IVamers of our organ-
ie law. it. is, in my judgment, to he used
with the greatest caution, and only when
legislation is mtiniicsuy inco usuowaie, or .
of" more than doubtful constitutionality.
The legislators, chosen as they are direct- j

fair expression ol their views of tne true
policy of the government can always be
had, give to all well considered measures
of legislation the solemn sanction of the
highest power of the State, and it should
not be aibitrarily interfered with. While
I shall shrink from no duty involved by
the sacred trust reposed iu me by the
people of the Commonwealth, I would
hae all other departments of the govern
