A complete set of balances, flinas - hed to the State

of the Stale. and their extrernely_eipwed - and per

action of our fathers in the struggle for national
existence. In. the Capital of Pennsylvania, and
with- the' sympathies of her"patriotic people, was
Independence matured and declared. Her soldiers j
were most numerous around the standard of the
nation, and there were more battle fields•on her
soil than in the same area elsewhere. 'Every me

Annexed is an estimate of the receipts and-ex,
penditures, of the present, with the estimateof last
year, and the actual receipts at the Treasury.. ,
rho estimate of receipts from attire sources of
revenue for last year amounted to 4,5,66,300 00
Actual receipts from all those sources,,4,-1.33,131 - 51
Estimates for this year amount to . 4,296,000 00
, The estimate Of, expenditures for the last year
amounted. to the slam of $4,034,800 00
The actual Payments amonuted to 4,563.193.
The estimate for the coming yearis t - 4,101,300,00
In the item of expenditures for:Public improve,
ments is : included 8148.500 paid. to. North Branch
Canal and $286,446 02 to avoid inclined Plane.
In the
.amounts- received -from Canal and alail 7
road tolls and collateral inheritaoce taxes, the an
nual receipts of the last year full short of the es
timates.
• In making these estimates it was sup
posed the suggestion of a fernier message, in rela
lion to'-the conveyance of passengers on the Colum.
hit Railway would have been favorably regarded.
It is still believed, that a largely increased rive :
nue would attend the adoption of the chaiges
heretofore recommended. That the collateral' in
heritance tax is inefficiently :and carelessly-collect
ed in some of the counties, and even when :fre
quently collected retained in the hands of the Offi
cers longer than necessary, is demonstrable by the
-fact of the great. disproportion received atthe
Treasury from counties of equal population. 11114-
ness, andwealth. A statement of the amounts re:
ceived from the several counties during-the last
four years, will exhibit much. valueable informa
tion on the interesting question of inequality - of
taxation in the paytneut of the public. debt. All
items of taxation applicable to the sinking fend
should be - required to 'reach the Treasury quarterly
under the severest penalties. • •
A reference to the report's of the,Adjiitant Gen

perintendent of Common Schools, will afford

In the (=intuition for trade and travel, no effort
for the full repair of the canals and railroads of the
State should be neglected. The 'deteriorating con

the system of supervision is ineffectual - to secure
the return of • which their construction gave confi
dent assurance. In a system•of divided ; re.sponsi
bility in their management, the difficulty evidently
exists. On a former occasion it was suggested to
divide the State into Canal and Railway distriets,
did allot to each a Canal Commissioner, to whom
its entire control should be given. This project is
again recommended, but should it fail to meet-your
