Altermed fins is astenglies sub ertite of an mitessive system of internal Improvements, the anus of the State ars sow ample fur all legitimate pur pose, and her public debt is gradually but servilely disappearing. From these and other mosses, governmental cation has be come greatly simplified, and tFe nature of the subjects of its operation has changed in a de4ree no less remsrkablc. The most entire dizposal of the lands which belong to the State, has already dispensed with one of the Departments -created for their care, and will, ultimately, render the other unnecessary, ex oept fur preserving the evidences of their transfer. The sale of the public works has relieved the Executive bran,:h of the t;overnment Of many of its most responsible and per plexing duties, and in effect, dispensed with one of its most formidable and diffi cult departments. In the seine proportion, the action of the Legislature will, if the representatives of the people be true to the interests repos ed, and sternly refuse to entangle the pub lic with those numerous projects and en terprises which arc continually seeking its alliance, be simplified and economized, pu rified and stren; , thened. An.) it iv as remarkable as it is propi tious, that en era which has thus relieved the State authorities of burthens that con sisted, either of mere material interests, or the care of local administration,— commiting the one to the local sovereign ty of the people, and the other to private or associated enterprise,—should also pre sent fJr consideration and promotion intel lectnal and moral claims of peculiar im part um*. leis this period in our historry that the system of public education challenges the attention of the most neobFervant.- And I shall be much mistaken in the cau tious but steadfast character of the people of Pennsylvania, if their Representatives du not make it the first object of their mo licitude. The annual report of the Superintendent of Common Schools, will lay before you the present condition of the Common School System, and of its operations during the past year. Your close and scrutinizing attention is invited to the details of that document. Incladin ,, the city of Philadelphia, it will be observed, that there were in the public schools of the State, during the year which terminated on the first Mon day of last Jnne, 628,101 pupils ; these were instructed during an average term of $1,600,000 506,01:10 NOM odlawlssrael Erobsdoas u Itsrebees Rind by imbEe anthority ; and it is to regretted that the prostration of basinom sad scarab, of money, that so soon Mov ed the pomp of the act, bad the east of checking ninny laudable effcrte to pat its provisions into operation. Under these circumstances, does it not become the du ty of the State to afford fuel' aid, or at least hold out su"h inducements as shall enable this measure to be fairly tested! The pottage of a law eptaranteeing the payment of a moderate sum to one Teach er's School in each of the districts created by the act of 1857, would no doubt cause a sufficient number to establish the effi viency and practilvbility of the plan. to be completed in a few years ; the miller not to be paid till the schools were in full and approved operation. It is not probable that this grant would cause any considera ble draft on the treasury ; but, even if the whole twelve schools should ultimately be established, the boon would neither be out of proportion to that which has been con ceded to other literary irstitutions, nor the number of graduates beyond the wants of the community. l'p to the present time, Pennsylvania has appropriated about CCP...LOW in aid of her collects and acade eillithis mainly in the hope of ob taining front them teachers for the com mon schools. Though the benefits of this munificence have been, in other respects, quite equal to the amount given it will be asserted by no one that the avowed object has been to any considerable extent effect ed. It would therefore appear to be time that the aid of the State should be brought directly to bear in favor of the great object so long contemplated. I have thus briefly laid before you the condition of our noble educational system. It will afford me sincere pleasure to con cur in the adoption of these, or any other measures, for its perfeition, that the wis dom of the legislature may devise. In this country, the want of a school which shall combine the elements of learn ing and agricultural labor, and thus adapt itself to the edacation of the farmer, has been most seriously felt : fur whilst our many colleges well fill the measure of'use fulness in theirappropriate spheres of in fluence, it must be conceded that the training they impart is badly adapted to !heart of practical agriculture. In Penn sylvaeia that interest is so important as to demand at all times our anxious attention, and active support. "The Farmers' High School of Pennsylvania," lately project ed and planned by a few public spirited individuals, and which has received, to some extent, the patronage of the State, and the contributions of a number of our patriotic citisens is destined to afford a place where young men may be educated at an expense commensurate with their it cans, and to a condition qualifying them fur the pursuit of the business of the farm. Here whilst daily occupation will train the body to the ability to labor, and give to the student the enviable feeling that lie contri butes to his own support,anil education. it will instruct and enlarge his niiud, that it may give force and efftwet to all his future of The design of the institut • is to af ford a school where boys luny be thoroughly educated in all the branches of natural set ence, and, at the name time, be inured to the performance of labor: PO that at their gr,ad• nation they may return to their parents n. bundantly pret.ared to join the domestic cir cle, to give a right direction to the business of agriculture, and act well their part in ev ery department of life. An object so fraught with usefulness is entitled to the highest e.anmendaii The ItOpliention of sicientifle principles to the practical purposes of life, is but realiz ing the full benefit of those laws of nature, h. disco‘er and to profit by which is un doubtedly one of tho great ends el - human yen sou.. The more this important adders is held in VICW nod diceted by our higher instal's tinns ocl•nroing, the nacre, vs:linable and esaL ful will they beenme. The Poleteelinic Col lege of Pennsylvania at Philadelphia, is four:ale:al on this basis : and its attempt to pop ularize :science, and connect high acquire ment with practical ability, is presented to your favorable consideration, Under a resolution of the last House of Itcpresentatiyee a committee was appointed by the Speaker of the !louse, to examine the state and condition of seTerel lisnlleadiartee ed at the session of 1857. The ',solution directed the committee to report to the Gov ernor the result of its examination within ninety days after the adjournment of the legislature. On the :oth of July last, the re port of the committee, together with the tee eontpanying evidence, was filed in the Office of the Secretary of the Commonwealth, a cope of which will be laid before the Gouge of Representatives. In view of the facts reported by the com mittee, in reference to the organisation and subsequent management of the Bop County Bank, The Crawford County Bank, and the Bank of Shamokin, I would recommend a careful ittetnir into the present condition of these institutions. and if it shall be ascer tained that the public is likely to suffer inju ry from the further existence of either, a speedy and certain remedy may be found in a legislative repeal of the rights and privi leges granted by the acts of incorporation.— The power to alter, revoke, or annul, the charter of a bank whenever its continuance mar, in the opinion of the legislature, be in-, jurious to the citizens of :he Conthirmwealol, is expressly given icy the Constitution to the General Assembly,—to be exercised, howev er, in such manner as that nu injustice shall be done to the corporaturs. Obedience to this constitutional injunction would requre that in the ea ent of a repeal of the chnrter an bank, care should be taken that the rights of the stockholder aL to the surplus assets of the I•ank, alter pad ent of its debts, were protected , and that suitable provisions should be made bur bettlin; its :af fairs. The injunction contained i t the Censtlin. tion, that the repeal or revocation of a bank charter shall be in such manner as to work no injustice to the corporators, is not a quali fication of the power to revoke, or annul the charter; but it is simply a requiremeut that, in taking away the charter, the rights of the stockholders shall be protected, an far as is consistent with the act of repeal itself. Jdo not doubt that the legislature may alter, re voke, or annul any existing bank charter, whenever in its opinion the oontinsaace of the charter may be injurious to. the talus**s of the Commonwealth. Any other construc tion of the Constitutional reservation would make the interests and safety of the public subservient to the gain of the private stock holder. Believing, therefore, that there is no want of power. I cannot refrain from ex pressing my decided opinion that whenever it is clear that a bank is insolvent, nr in great -danger of becoming so. er whenever its privileges are so usei or abased as to seriously prejudice the interests of the public, it is the duty of the law makii.g power to protect the people, by destroying its corpor ate existence. • In this °impaction I deem it tny , duty to reiterate the views expressed in my tnaegor al address. 1 then stated, u m&Mod opinion, that there shoots la no farther in t:ruse of hanks or bendting capital ander the pre‘ent systent..expresiad a decided hoetili ty to the tatneof notes of a small dasoaina. e l ansind nionauseaded such a change in . . our laws relative to banks. their ovoid sation and manerneent. as would at least, se. ear* booed aU question the proatptredessp tion of all bilis or notes put in eirtesktioa by the several baoklas liadtstioas of vii Owa esoawealt►. wen essigh•a of the Weft/Onetime( naint ing laws rotative to bonito and banking, I d•eir it si 4* to infer= 144 fiejesnit As , eemlisly that I cannot gilts the execietirear. prural to any bills elisirterin; add t one I banks without radical change an the entice system. It is but just to state that in my opinion* large majority of the hanks of the Comnonwealth are well and safsly managed, and in a perfectly soundenditinn ; but this 'l4 due to the honesty and intelligence of those haring ...barge of them,. rather than to the eAciency 'of the laws. Ender the manage ment of incapable or dishonest men, experi ence has shown, that tiler* i• really but little if any security to the public in the regula tions and restrictions now to be found in our banking code. True wisdom dictates a refor mation. The ruinous Inures which hare fallen upon the people during the financial pressure of the past eighteen months, suggest the neces rity of preventing their recurrence. Although , many causes tufty have combined to pro. duce these disasters, it is too plain to aumit of a doubt that our banking system has been one of the most prominent. The value of the precious metals—the prices of p r u rert ._ and the wages of lalsir—are nlivava affected by the abundanee or scarcity of thepaper , medium received as a aulistitnte for gold and paver coin. The power of the States to authorize, a paper currency. through the agency of hank.. has been ao long exercised, and neknon lodged. throughout the Union. that it is nu longer an open question. Bat it must be in•knowielged that the pus er has been greatly abused. The dclegat'oui of this attribute of sovereignty to a number of irre aponaible corporations,without proper cheeks to limit its exercise. and withoot providing any security whatever fur the redemption of the issues thus authorized, has been attend ed with evils of the most ri:arming character. These eorporntions are prac tienlly made the ex elusive. judges of the amount f piper cur rency to be furnished to the people, and have the exclusive power to contract, or expand their circulation at pleasure. Depooitura and other ordinary creditors of blinks, need no legislation for theit protection. Every one who has direct dealings with these institu tions, either as depositor or otherwise, enters into such engagements voluntarily, for bin own advantage, end may be safely left' to his I own vigilance, and the ordinary remedies of j the law, for his protection. But the millions I of people engaged in industrious pursuits. the farmereetho meehunic—tlie merehant-- aml the laboring man fare under nn imperi- I oils necessity to receive for their merchan dise and their labor, the ordinary paper cur rency of' the country. ' It is impossible fur persons of this deseription to investigate the concerns of every inatitetn whom Dotes are in circulation. But no itiveetigation could save them from the losses arising from the defnults and: frauds of bank °Seers and the insolvency of bank borrowers. The note holders of banks have peculiar' claims to the projection of the government. They are Involuntary creditor's, who are fere tail to receive the mesa authorised by the government- They hove no direct dealings with the banks. l'hoyslo not trust the banka from any hope of gain. They have no profit in passing the notes which they would no: have had in passing gold and silver coin.— They conati tote almost the entire community, and the humble and ignorant ih's always the greatest sufferer's when a bank tails to re deem its notea. The whole people are there ore deeply interested in the security of the circulation alloweol by law, although many of them inn); never have had a share of bank stock, or been within a hundred miles of its place of business. The Government that authorizes the inane of it paper currency is under at high moral obligation to require am ple and available security four its redemption. The eertifieutee of boon issued by the Gen eral Government. or by this Commonwealth, at a value to he fixed upon, with the power to require additi mid deposits of security. Beim time to time. as the limns depreciate in the merket, would be as 'once and available as any guaranty which would be provided. A law reqeiring all issues of banks hereaf ter orwsnised. to lie steered by the pledge of thew loan& would enhance the value of the present. lose*. and thus give the hoiders a pre. tnium not contemplated when they bedszne poirehimers. ansl fur which they nevergeve any valuable consideration. This enhan ed value would be derived from a privilege granted by the State.sind the State onght.t herefo e. to have the hrnefit °lit.'s firs/tibia may Ise secured by legislatino. The tee lot amendment of the Con. elitist ion rime onaeri sues the power attic Legisla ture in creating Stem debts. with an exception in favor of debts contracted •• to redeem the present outstanding indsolvednese of she State." A law authorizing new Stale loans or the put peer' of redeeming the present umr due debt. would loe within the constitutional eacrption, and would he free oat objection on ounstite tional grontods. The new loans thasipthorbord. redeemable at the, esp'esrlion my years. with the banking privilege alinchetl to them. would undoubtedly sell at a high premium. The proceeds of their sale shout I he applied to the payment of the present &ate debt now overdue. amounting to more titan seventeen millions of dollar+. Under this system the State loans would no longer he held by foreigners, and the 'tend-annual shipments of specie. to pay inter est, would therefore cease. As the currency would be limited to the amount actually secured. the danger from ex pansions. which have heretofore stimnfated the ineautious to embark in ruinous enterpri ses. in overtrading. and in extravaganoe in their expenditures, would be greatly fe w stud. if not en irely overcome. As the se curities would be tp the bands of a high and responsible officerlit the State. with authority to sell them for the purpose of redeeming the circulation, the power of the banks to arrest specie payments at their own pleasure wouid be at an end. The system proposed is as near an approach to a specie basis as the condition and habits of the people are atprevent prepa red for. The duty of securing the community frmn losses continually arising front urutate currency. c.innut I,e longer delayed without a manlfest disregard of the public interests.— The subject is therefore commended to your early attention.

After rt et:trill' , proposals for the elect ion ol the monument. and the adoption of a plan. it was determined. in view of the limited and inade quate appropriation made f the accomplish ment of the purpose, by the last Legislature. to postpone the commencement ol the work until further leg:tilation could be had. It is the opinion of the Commissioners that such a monument as would do credit to the State, and honor to the hying and the dead, cannot be built Gm a Ira sum than thirty thousand dollars. If the Legislature should concur in that opinion, the appropriation should be in creased accordingly. The report of the State Librarian will inform you of the progress made in the catalogue au thorised by the last legislature, and the gen eral condition of the Library, which has grown to be an institution that deserves you, losterir.g care.

The Commissioners appointed to revise the I Crinain it Code of this Commonwealth, are progressing with the duties of their appoint ment, and will report the revised code before the edjournment ut the Legislature. The various charitable and reformatory in stitutions, which have heretofore received pe cuniary assistenee from the State, such as the State Lunatic Hospital, at Harrisburg, the Western Pennsylvania hospital, at Pittsburg,' the Houses of Refuge, at Philadelphia and Pitts burg, the Pennsylvania Training School for idiotic and feeble-minded children, the Asylums for the Blind end Deaf and Dumb, at Philadel- Phi*, the Northern Home for Friendless Chil -1 drew, at Philadelphia—l recommend to your fostering aid and care. The annual reports ex hibiting a detail of the operations of these no ble anti excellent charities, during the past year, will be laid before yon. I cannot re , commend appropriations to charitable Asso ciations of a purely local character, however praiseworthy the objects and motives of their founders and supporters, or however useful they may be to their pnrtienler foes/Dies. The present condition of the revenues of the General Government, demonstrates the argent necessity of increased duties upon foreign im portations. The people of Pennsylvania have ever taken a lively interest in the proper ad justment of a tariff; and they have with singu lar unanimity, at all times, favored such an as sessment of ditties, as would not only produce revenue, but furnish thelargest incidental pro tection to the great mineral, manufacturing, and industrial interests of the country. Had their voice hitherto been more potential in the councils of the r.ation, it is no longer proble matical that much of the pecuniary distress lately experienced by all classes and conditions of business men might have been to a great extent averted.

At a meetit ( i of the York "Worth Infantry," hel et their Armory, on Friday, 24th December, 1868, the following Resolutions were unanimously adopted : Resolved, That•wo tender our thaviks to the " Gettysbur g flail Road Com pany," for the cordial invitation eaten • ded to use to bo present at. the final opening of their road, on the 10th inst. and also to the "Nortliorn Central," and "llanovi.r Branch" roads for carrying us over their roads free of charge. Resoived, That wo are under many obligations to the citizens of Hanover for the cordial reception which was ex tended to us on oar arrival at their town ; and to the keepers of the differ ent hotels for the substantial breakfast prepared for us. Rewired, That Captain Wint rode, and. cach and every member of the "Marion Rifle," of Jianover, have secured the friendship of each member of tho "Worth Infantry ;" for the true milita ry spirit evinced in the reception given us, and for their ardent desire to make our unavoidable detention in Hanover a time of pleasure; and we must in jus tice say that our most sanguine expec tations were fully realized, and tho hours there flow by only too swiftly.. Reaolred, That in Captain Buehler, and the "Independent Blues," of Get tvsburg,we have the true specimens of the "Pennsylvania Volunteer Soldier," and their attentions were the more wel come to our hearts from the fact that we wore the guests, not of the Military, but of the citizens ; and all their kind netts evinced a soldier's friondslu fur brothers in arms. Rest)'red, Than the citizens of Gettys tint g have our thanks for their kindness and for the "feast of good things" pre pared for us. Resolved, That Mr. Hamilton Glum. tier, of the Junction Hotel, has our heartfelt thanks for the kind treatment. extended to those menbetv of the Com pany detained there over night. Tuos..A.
