Last Message of 'William Bigler,
Gov.salloß Or 'PENNSYL*ANIA.
Reaa in_ the Legislature, Friday, Jan. 5.
iCIDNTII3E32.I) V . ISAYNI r.AST
The councils of Philadelphia, by an ordi
nance passed in October, 1352, dedicated the
necessary ground in Endependeece -Square. to'
the erection of a:monurnent commemorative
of the Declaration of Independence ; and ten
dered the possession of the premises' to the
representatives of nine or more of the orio-i
-rialStates.
Since„tliat time, the States of New York;
New , Jersey e New Hampshire, Rhode Island,
Connecticut Georgia and Pennsylvania, have
signified their willingneSs to accept the pro
position on the terms indicated by the coun
cils, anti to participate in this patriotic work.
Delaware, Maryland,, Virginia and the two
CoTotina.s, haVe taken no action - on the sub
ject.
I cannot refrain from again expressing my
unabated solicitude for the - success of this
movement. If American history furnishes a
single event which is worthy of commemo
ration a monument, the declaration of In
depekdence is that event. In moral grandeur
it is without a parallel, and stands above all
others for the mighty influence which it has
exerted upon the political, religious and so
cial condition of Mankind It has - been justly
said; it ushered in a new member into the
fai - nily Of - nations and electrified_ all Europe.
It opened new revelations of liberty, -and
'changed-the relations of - people and.govern
rnent,sby tette:hi:rig the 'one' how to - resist and
conquer oppression, and the, other the abso
lute necessity to its own continuance of re
cognizing and respecting the rights of hu
manity. Froth that time forth, a new, 'vital
and. quickening spirit has pervaded the world.
Thrones have been shaken, empires have
been overturned„society_hasbeen convulsed,
blood and carnage desolated the earth: but
still the intelligence and souls of the'people
of all Christendorri • have been - so vivified,
elevated and expanded to a comprehension of
their•r4e4its, as will never be oblltterated or
forgotten; but will advance, enlarge ; and in
crease; until the moral and social preparation
for the appteeiation and enjoyment of tiber
tyshall be effected, which, in , the divine
economy is so indispensable to the perma
nence of free institutions.
As the third generation of thtit posterity
for 'whom the, men of the - revolution chiefly
labored and suffered, and died, it is peculiar
ly fitting that we should erect such represen
tations of their great and controlling acts as
shall speak to our own hearts, to our 'chil
dren's hearts, and shall_ testify to God and
the world, that we appreciate and reverence,
and would cultivate
,and desseminate the
mighty truths and principles which brought
our nation into existence, .which constitute
its very life, and of which it seems designa
ted by providence to be—the special defender
and protector.
I believe we -should have a monument to
perpetuate the remembrance of the great
event. from: which, such manifold and inesti
mably-:blessiFegs have sprung; some imperis.h
able-mei-aerial-of our gratitude to the author - 5
of, the Declaration of Intlependence;' to the
heroes who participated in the mighty strug
gle;-an enduring Witness of the great things
done amongstus and for us; an embodiment
the origin and principles of our govern
ment; some distinguishing mark of the place
of the nation's birth; a consecrated temple of
liberty, "cll.:lout which unborn ,-generations of
America may meet and renew their assuran
ces of fidelity to the principles of the' Decia
fatien and. to their natural offspring—the
constitution and the Union. I am for this
work most earnestly ;and i. trust that Penn
sylvania iVilluot permit it to fail, bat that it
may be pressed upon -the -attention of the
original thirteen States, until each and all
shall evince a willingness and determination
to, participate in the erection of this glorious
structure. To this end rrespectfully suggest
to the General Assembly, the propriety of
again calling the: attention . of the original,
States to the subject, by resolution or other
wise.
In closing my last communication to the
General Assembly, and terminating my of
ficial relations with the people of my native
Commonwealth, I may be indulged in a brief
and general reference to her present proud
position as a member of the great family of
States, and to the patriotism, integrity, and
general, prosperity of her citizens. The ad
vantageous oeographiCalPosition of Pennsyl
vania, with a fine harbor open to the Atlan-
tic, and another connecting her centrally with
the magnificent chain of western lake navi
gation—her long branching, rivers spreading'
their arms and arteries through every portion
of her territory—Lail added to her fertile soil
and exhaustless deposits of valuable minerals
—present a combination of
,the natural ele- .
ments.of greatness, scarcely equalled in our•
own or any other, quarter of the globe.—
These have made her an attractive, field for
the science, industry and enterprise of man ;
and all her' . :natural advantages have been,
cherished and cultivated, until she has rea
ched a condition of varied:wealth !andipossi
tive prosperity. Her system of internal im--
provements• will safely compare with those
of any sister State, whether in regard to com
pleteness in construction, or the extent of
country which they - traverse. Nor have the
higer hopes ofdvimanity been disregarded bp'
our statesment and the people at large, as the
liberal provisions for common schools, Acad
emiesand Colleges, and our numerous Chnr-,
• ekes, attest: while, at, the same timeohe Ira;
rious Asylums for-the insane, and.for the un
fcirturiate of all classes and conditions, and
Houses of Refuge:. for the reformation of the
wayward andrerring silently', yet surely, bear
witness-that - the cause of benevolenZ.te.has al
ways found effective advocates - ,within her
borders.
In. phisical improvement anal population
her progress has been steady and rapid.: In
the days ofGovernor Snyder,. the erection of
ribridge'over the Susquehanna river, and the
Construction of a turnpike road was the sub
jeet.of, executive - exultation, and., a matter of
congratulatiOn among the people. Now her
whele - snrface - isr checkered over with rail
roads, canals and other high ways. Then
the-whole revenues of the State amounted to
but $450,000. Now they. exceed five mill
ions.- Of the four large States, her per cen
tatiVelincrea.se in population,'since 1840, is
the greatest, and she has besides excelled the
'{lest or her:sisters in'the production of wheat,
!iron and coal., • Her population numbers not
thanitiiv o'and a half millions; nearly as
large" as all the,States at the time of the Rev
:e/ution: -"'ThelifeSent value of• her real and'
persgpal;estate ,. eipeeds $850,000,000. Her
ann ual_prodUctioiLLOT coal

nrrark.et.over,lwenty, millions. - Her-great in-;
nfactures and; coin - 'Wrests' of „agricultgre,- - tittan
rnifiSeratti tapid lyCertend in g.
She has, in addition, a history, of which'
we may well:be:o6bl Within her-limits is
found the Liirth',pla.ce of Independence—that'
sacred'spot where was. first declared those;
great truths whieh lie at the .foundation of
- American 'iraticinality. In maintenance of
those truths, she bore a gloriouS part. -Her
contribution of men to the field, and money
to the treasury—of talent and wisdom to the
Congress of the Colonies, were not surpassed
by those of any other State. It was her son's
who crosSed the Delaware in the dead of
winter, under the •lead of Washington; and
for a time turned the tide of war. Again, in
the struggle of 1812, for the right - of American
citizenship, and in that of IS-16, for Arnei ican
honor and progress, she contributed with a
.profuse generosity. The contest amongst
her sons was not as to who should have the
right to stay at home; but 3,V,h0 should have
the privilege of going into .the field. Bear
ing this honorable part in the matters of for
eign war, she has had a no less enviable pare
ticipation in allaying domestic strife. When
everthe exigency seemed to require it, she
has stood firmly by the Constitution and the
Union, and ever contended for the rights of
all sections of the,country, and all classes and
-denominations of - the people. Such is our
State. To live and die within her limits, and'
to have borne even an-humble part in her eh . -
vil service and it her history, I shall ever
esteem as a proud privilege—one that, as it
draws nearer its close, swells my heart with
gratitude to 'her. people, at the recollection
of the numerous proofs of coo fidencel have.
experienced attheir hands.
The fulness of my "exultation in the char-,
acter and ; happy condition of our beloved
Commonwealth, and of the.gratitude I have
expressed, leaves no 'room in my bosom for
even a lingering regret at a:decision -Of my
fellow-citizens, which is sport to relieve me
from the cares-andf labors of 'a public life.—
Its transient excitements have already:been
forgotten, -and-its alienations, if any, :forgiv
en.
,I shall resume ray place in the ranks of
the people, with a calm consciousness of hav
ing always sought to advance their best in
terests to the extent of.my ability; and of
never having yielded my convictions of right,'
either in subservience to any selfish purpose,
or any narrow and unworthy prejudice.
Having adierted to-various subjects of- con- ,
gratulation, in "retardto the public affairs of
-my own State, 1 - may be - indulged in a brief
reference, also, to the -happy aspect of our
common country, and' the elevation it has
reached 'arnorig, the nations of the earth, in
the light of liberty, and through the work
ins of its benign institutions. Who amongst
us, and throughout - this broad land, does not
experience at this moment, and at every mo
ment, in his own condition, and the condition
of those: who surround, ,him, the influence
and benefit of our happy Union, and the well
considered compact by which it-,is sustained..,
basis of calculation, exhibited by past
will give our country a popnlation•
of thirty millions in less than ten years fforri
the present time—of eighty millions in thir
ty years-to come—and of one hundred mil
lions at the close of the present century !:z 2 -
But mere : numbers are
: of no moment, corn- '
pared with moral elements, in a nation's
greatness. The vital strength and stability,
of the United States, as' a people ) consists in
the substantial interest. which each individu
al has in the permanency of these gloribus
institutions, which were baptized in the blood
of oar revolutionary struggle," 'and handed
down to us as the. sacred legacy of: our fa
thers. Peril, or destroy these, and we peril
or destroy the share of sovereignty and equal
ity-which they were designed to secure, alike
to the richest/and poorest, to the highest and
hum t o!e:. - -•,1 in the land. The experience of
more than three-fourths 'of a centur y proves,
I am persuaded, that the American people,
in the main. truly appreciate the beneficent.'
structure and beautiful operation "of 'Mir re
publican system. We have been assailed by
an insidious and open hostility from abrOade
and have, at fifties before • the present, be.en.. l
encountered by both the concealed and pal-1
pable spirit of faction at home ; yet the Con
stitntion
still stands: as widely and firmly
riveted in the affections of the honest mass
es of 'American freemen, as at any former
period of our history. -
The more fruitful sources of our nationa.;
prosperity undor.bteclly consist in the free
dom, industry and intelligence of our people;
and in the rich natural resources of our, coup- 1
try; united to an advantageous commercial
intercourse with a 'warring world. But there:l
is one element which We. should cherish as
more potent than all 'these: it is-the protec
tion and encouragement afforded by the Union
of the States, under an adequate and stable
government. To this and the virtue of our
citizens, under the smiles of Heaven, we - are
More' indebted as a people, than to any other
circumstance or relation. No one who has
studied our history, and marked the spirit in
which our Union was formed, can avoid the
conviction that our government,; so far as
concerns the .stability ,of this confederacy,
must be one of opinion rather than force.—
Born in compromise and conciliation, it must
be cherished In the same spirit; it must pre
sent itself to every member of this Republic :
in-the welcome guise. of friendship and-Pro
tection—not in overbearingpride, or as.wield
ina the strong arm of power.
We have before us the plain-written, com
pact of our fathers, to- which . they refleeting
ly consented and subscribed,
.ands e bound
us who have succeeded them. - Tts blessings'
and its benefits . have: beer{ kit.throughout
long years of unexampled prosperity. If we
would change any of its.
,provisions, let us,
with at. least common honesty and manliness,
-pursue the Mode .of amendment 'which is
pointed out, in adinirable . precision, in the
noble instrument - itself. But until this is
done; those amongst us, who, from - whatever
motive, or under whatever pretext, either
openly repudiate any of its plain provisions,
or-covertly retreating under the cloak of se
.ret organization, seek to violate its spirit, or
avoid compliance with its clear behests; dis
honor the faith of their fathers and deny
their own palpable and solemn obligations.—
