IMPROVEMENT BILL.
HARRI4I36.RG,, March 22,
The impfervement bill was yesterday returned
totlie Legislature with th(f.signature oftliegoyern,
or, accompanied with the - following Message:
To the Senate and House Represeniatives of thy
Comma mrealth of Peritißylvania
GENTLEMEN:.--Thabill, entitled "An act to elm
tinno the improvement of the state by canals and
rail roads," has been in my possession since the
12th instant, and has received that deliberate con
sideration to which the magnitude and importance
of its provisions entitle it, and which our constitu
ents had a rig,ht. in expect it would receivebefore
it should be approved and become a law.
-In the message transmitted to the two noitses
ofAhe opening of the present - season of the - Legis ,
lature, tho propriety of confining the appropria
tions for objects of internal improvemout for the
current year to the connecting link., oldie main
ronte.from Philadelphia to Pittsburg, with a view
to complete a connected lino of communication
between those two important points, was pressed
upon the attention ot'the legislature, from an hon
est conviction on.my part, that the substantial in
terests, as well as the true policy of the common
wealth, would be best promoted by pursuing that
course: And, at most, in addition to the cOinple.
tion ofthe main line the North and West Branch
divisions of the canal should bo extended into the
coal regions towards which they severally tend in
order that the utility and public advantages of
these several public works might ho 'tested at an
early a period as possible, and that they might soon
be made to contribute, in some measure, to the in
crease of the revenues of the state. The corn
me emeat of any new project of iMprovemiint
le same time deprecated, and considered,
t. now, as being entirely impolitic; as tend
in embarrass and delay the operations of the
government in completing any portion of the pub.
lie works, and manitbstly calculated to produce
An effect which, instead ef infusing confidence
• intothe public mind that some advantages will be
speedily realized by the public, and that the trea
sury will soon receive some return from those im
provements, as en earnest that the sums which
have from time to time been drawn from' it have
not been expended in vain, would tend to dampen
.the ardor with which our citizens were heretofore
animated in favor of, and .to impair their eonti-
Aence•in a. system of improvements, which, ifeon
ducted upon right principles, would not fail to in.
spire both.
But although such were and still continue tribe
the convictions of my own mind, amajority of the
legislature has thought prosper to pursue a. differ
ent course, and to authorise, by the bill now tin
der consideration, the commencement ef two new
routes ofcanal, of no inconsiderable magnitude,
(should they be carried to the extent contemple-,
ted,) and liberal appropriations have been author
ised with a view to those objects.
Inasmuch, however, as this is a question involv
ing no constitutional principle, nor presenting a
case glaring inexpedient, but exhibiting the na
ked question in how far it is expedient at this
time to enter into new cnntrnotp t ertn_vhitt
_extent
the commencement of new projects of improve
ment shall be authorised, and the amount of mo
ney necessary to carry them into effect,' about all
which there may well exist an honest difference
of opinion, I feel- myself bound by the respect
which I trust I shdll always entertain for the opi
nions of the legislature, when fairly expressed, to
yield my judgment to theirs, believing, as I do,
that the constitution never contemplated that the
negatiie upon all laws with which .it has armed
the executive, should be interposed in a case cir
eurnetsekeed-iike the present- 7 4rquespan of sheer
. expediency. - - 4 4
The questidh of rho greatest difficulty, Slid
which is calcula to create more embarrassment,
• in the operatio sof the government, in relation to
the system of in ernal improveents, is that rela
fied
ting to a fund or the payment of the interest on
the public debt. The same difficulty would have
existed, however, to a certain extent, if the bill in
question had never been passed: A crisis has been.
produced in the affairs of the commonwealth,
which must be met by those entrusted with the
cOncernsi . of the government, and the direction of
its affairs; and although it has been brought about
by no acts of ours, it will nevertheless be our duty
to meet it honestly, and with firmness, and Jo pro
vide the means, to guard against any injurious ef
fects or consequences, which it might otherwise
be calculated to produce: If justice to the pub
lic creditors, as well as a proper regard Tor the
faith and credit of the commonwealth would have
requited, that an adequate source of revenue fbr
the payment of interest should have been provid
ed, under the circumstances in which we were
placed before the passing of the bill now under
consideration, it can scarcely be necessary to re.
-mind anenliglitenellegislature of the additional
obligation imposed uponthern by the provision of
the bill which gave rise to this cominunication v to
provide an ample interest fund.
___._Withafirn reliance,upon_thointagriipand pat
riotisin of the Members of the legislature of Penn
s), 1. a nis, to WTI onfll iisiiiiiiiiiiiiiitiFifiiiiirs itilitreiil4-
in d;" and Veil ti g - ii ssi i red that - the firitir and - credit of
the state areobjects of their anxious solicitude, I'
have every_ reason to believe, that this legislature
will not consent to separate, until it shall have
provided such ample moans for raising a revenue
as will place the credit of the Commonwealth, for
ever hereafter, on, a basis which cannot be shaken.
Under these considtTiations, and under a firm
conviction, that a contrary course would be pro
ductive of consequences destructive to the best in
toivits of the commonwealth, I have this ddy ap
proved and signed the said bill, entitled, "An eat
to'centiniie the improvement of the state by ca
nals-end rail roads," and directed the Secretary of
the commonwealth to return the same to the
House of Representatives, in which it originated.
