Yet her emissaries come to this country, and for minister purposes, extol " free trade," epeak seoffingly of "protection," and endeavor to persuade our peopla to telifcve and adopt the absurd theory ' taiiffii hinder the development of in dustry and the growth of j The great Republican CcßvetJSoJ) which nominated Abraham , Lincoln, in Chicnjo, in 19(31), tis if pre | paring for the very war which most of j our statesmen were al that period atixious to postpone,adopted a resolution, "which," j to use the language oi an cminout'Pciin nvlvanian. "declared that the produce of the farm ihoaid no longer be compelled iu remain inert aud latiinpt interest while j waiting demand in distant markets; that the capital which J lily took the form of labor power should no longer bo allowed togo to waste ; that the fuel which un. denied our soil should no longer there re main to be a mere support for foreign i ails j that ths po*sr which lay th n pet >ifleJ in the form of coal sh >uld cvoy ■where be brought to aid the human arm ; that our vast deposits of iron ore should be made to take the form of engines and ether machinery, to be used as substi'utes for mere muscular force ; and that all our, wonderful resources, material und moral, must and should he at once developed, tjueh was the intent and meaning of the brief resolution theu and there adopted, to be at the earliest practicable moment ratified by Congress, as proved to bo the j pase wheu Jhe Morrill tariff, on the mem orable 2d of March, 1801, was made the law of the land. To that law aided as it was by the admirable action of tho Treasury in supplying of cir culation, wo Bland BOW indebted for the fact that we have, in the short space of five years, produced more food, built more houses and mills, opened more mine*, constructed more roads than ever and so greatly added to the wealth of the country, that the property of the loyal States would this day exchange for twice the quantity of gold that could tire years since have been obtained for all the real and peisonil property, southern ohattels excepted, of the whole of the States and territories of which the Union tt&nds composed." If tho principle of protection proved to be su?h a talisman in tha time of war, ehail we reject it iu time of peace 112 If un answer wore nee led to this question, reference could be hud to the repeated concessions to this principle by the recent free-traders of the South. Hoareely one of the ambitious men who led their uu— foitunate people into rebellion, but now freely admits that if the South had nian> ufaetured their own fabrics, on their own plantations, and cultivated fki'ded labor iu their great cities, they would have been able to prolopg their conflict with the government; and.pow to enjoy substan tial, instead of artificial prosperity, they must invoke the very agencies they had »o long and so fatally disregarded. Words j need not be multiplied upon this import- | ant theme, cither to make my own posi* ; tion stronger, or to impress upon the pco plo the value of adhering to a system which has proved itself worthy of our continued support, and of the imitation of its former oppotieuts. FINANCES The exhibit of tho finanoes of the Com monwealth. as presenved in the late an nual message of my predecessor, and tlie report of the State Treasurer, is eerta-n ly very gratifying; and the flittering prospect of the speedy extirgui hi e it of the debt which La* bceu hanging, for so i many years, like a dark oloud over the ; prospects of our combined with the nope that a reasonable red.c ion will be made in our habitual annual expendi- ; tures, will cheer the people onward in tho pathway of duty. Among the most delicate and import ant obligations required of thos: iu offi «nal positions, is a strict and faithful management of the public revenues and expenditures of the Commonwealth. — Taxation should be applied where its bur dens may be lea.°t felt, and where it is most just that it should be borne. Kvery | resource should be carefully husbanded, i and tho Btrietest economy practised, so that the credit of tho State shall be • maintained ou a firm and enduring basis, and the debt surely and steadily dimin ished, until its final extinguishment.— Unnecessary delay iu this would, in my opinion, be incompatible with oar true in teroats. That these expectation? are capable of speedy and certain consummation, has ulready becu demonstrated. The public improvements, the cause of our heavy debt, which seemed to be an incubus upon the prosperity of the State, so long as tb.ey were managed by her agonts, have beta sold ; the tax on real estate has been abolished, ind considerable reductions have already been made on the State debt. This importaut branch of the adminis tration shall receive my constaut and zeal cu. attention. EXECUTION OF THF LAWS The general and essential principles of law and liberty,, dcclarod iu the Consti tution of Pennsylvania, shall be watch fully guarded. It will be niv highest nmbitiou to administer tho government in the tiue spirit of that instrument.— Care shall be taken ' that the laws be faithfully executed," and (he decisions of 1 the courts respected and enforced, if with in their authorized jurisdiction- In- j fiueaccd only by considerations for the public welfare, it id my impe'ative duty to see that justice bo impartially admin istered. Thai merciful provision, thenar donxng pourer , conferred upon tho Exec utive doubtlessly for correcting only the errors of criminal jurisprudence, and so curing justice, shall not be perverted to the indiscriminate protection of those who may l>e justly sentenced to bear penalties for infractions of tbe laws made for the security and protection of society. Those "cruelly" or ' excessively" punish ed, or erroneously convicted, are alone entitled to it,s beneficent protect ; on. and only such should expect its exercise in their behalf- Whenever the people deem it expedi ent or necessary, from actual experience, to alter the 1 iws, or to amend the Consti tution, it is, their uudoabt-.'d right tj do fo, according to the mode prescribed with in itself. 1 here rep 'at, what I have said elsewhere, that "so long as the people feel that the power to alter or change tbe j character of the governmoat abides iu i them, eo long will they be iinpressol with a sense of security and uf dignity | which must ever spring from the eon- ' sciousuess tint they hold within their own hands a remedy for evefy pi litlcal evil, a corrective for every governmental j abuse and usurpation." THE NATIONAL BtfI'ATION j \\*e arc confessedly in a transition { .j state. It is maiveloui how prejudice has j i perished in the furnace uf war, and how, I from tho veiy ashes of oil hatred.! £.ud : I old parties, tho truth rises purified aud ■ i triumphaot The contest between tha , hxecutive and a Congress twice elected i by substantially the samj suffrag m, a i contest so anomalous in our experience as j | not to have been anticipated by the 1 lian tho disehaige of my responsible duties v?itb a firm resolution to act with honesty and •impartiality, 1 trust my errors will be le garded with charity and treated with the gentleness of magnanimous forgiveness. And T earnestly tiopa that mi inter course with my telloweiusauai of the Sen ate and House oj Representatives will be frauk aud cordial, that onr duties to a common constituency will be ple nautly and faithfully discharged. Diflfe eot branches of the government as we ai«, with distinctive duties, we are uevorifce less parts of one organized and well reg ulated system, and as we co-operate or disagree, the interests of the State will | probably bo promoted or retarde ! Elect ed by itie people,desirous to promote the | welfare of every citizen, mere party difi fercnoe should pot be allowed to interfere with the niajnteuanee of a generous, a true and Comprehensive public polity ! It was the illustrious Washington i equally distinguiihe 1 as a warrior and a j -tatesman. who gave utterance to the dec- J laratiiu, "that the propitious smiles of i j Ueavou cannot be expeetad on a natiou | that disreuards tho otej q,al rules of order and right;" and Jeffjrson, who a-seited j i that "whatever is morally wrong cannJt j t>e politically right."

Brewster, Senators Lowry and Landon, and General Cameron. In the | course of his remarks, Mr. Cameron said : j I thank God that in spite of the slaudefs j my enemies have heaped ou sue for 20 | yeais, my fellow citizens who have seen jmy life from day today have always stood i by my tile and helped me to repel them.

I wished also to arm the I black men who would volunteer. Of c airse I thought clothing a black man in : the American uniform clot lied him with j the rights of au American citizen, and I j am sad to see a black soldter, and reflect I tlt'at even Pennsylvania denies him the | ballot, the only weapon whereby he can ; protect himself.

Provided That the Crnrt, upon the reasonable and satisfactory cause being made to appear to thestu. may remit the whole, or nny | part of such fines." pro n the above, it is plain that those so selected as Jurors are not at liberty to absent themselves on trivial excuses ; and, further, that answering to their fiamcs in the morning of each day ol Court it not sufficient; they are required i to answer every time they are called, under a penalty of five dollars for oacli and every default. If' this law wasstrict ly enforced, much time would be saved, and suits now ponding would be reached and the business of the court progress more rapidly. An Immoral Husiness. I he following, which we clip from the Ntw York Observer of the 17th inst., and the facts therein ?et forlk. compiled and taken lrom the reports of committees of inveiligation appointed by the Gov ernment, brought to light a vast amount of moral delinquency, and shows very conclusively that the manufacture and sale of aident spirits is well calculated to demoralize, degrade, p< 'lute and de struy the morals of the individual who engages in itje ?aijjo. It is useless to j talk about hum.sty in a business that will lead nicy to delraud the government that many of them have sworn to protect and defend, by perfect obedience tu the laws and rules regulating the business in which they are engaged. To say the least, the Distillation and sale of ardent spirits is a busicess in which no moral man can engage with safety to him self, his family or those around fiiin. It is immoral from beginning to eud. Here is the article referred to, read and ponder it well. j "lhe recent investigations ot the gov- I ernment pTovc that a vflst illegal traffic has been carried on in whiskey,by which the government has been deprivei of 1 millions of dollars of revenuo. Thedis -1 closures which have beeu made arc as tounding. A special eomuiittee fur the investigation of these frauds has discov ered that in tho city of New York there aro over 3,000 small disidlerics carried on in the cellars and outliuuses ol p'i-; vate dwellings, where whiskey is made j for the purpose of evading the fax of 82 J per gallon. Among the witnesses oxam 1 , iued were several eoppcismiths, who le.su 1 titled that the demand for such vessels ! ! as are u.-td for illicit distillation in these private establishments has been unpre cedented the "past year Merchants tcs i tiffed that they had purchased whiskey for 81 75 per gallon, of 25c. less' thau | ' the Government tax, and the proprietors of largo distilleries told the Committee that they could not ceoipatc with the smuggles, aiid tad in many instates tl' suspend *ork entirely' Ihe revenue enitee' r if Dot '.io.while in office, levied r,t wi.; ,»ey to the value of S6O In brookiyn,' where the iuvestig-tiuui < ;uu,thc amount of these frauds upon jtWre Venue leached seveial millions; one manufacturer alone j deposited in "Hirce months uiorc than 8600,000 as the result of bi» unlawful 1 sales.
