To ike Honorable the Senators nd Members of the House of Representatives of the General Assembly Fellow-Citizens : A renewal of express ions of gratitude to the Almighty Father, for ihis manifold mercies and protecting influen ces during the past year, and the utterance of a prayer "in spirit and in truth," for the con tinuance of these blessings, well become a people who habitually acknowledge the super intending care of a just and merciful God. The abundant haryests of the late season, the general exemption of the community from dis ease, the rapidly improving condition of the country, all things which confer happiness and rational contentment, increased facilities of education, and the enjoyment of religions privilege in lis purest forms, admonish us a new, that the des?iny of this people and gov ernment is directed by the power of a Su preme' Ruler, whose kindly providences are Continually exerted for their welfare and its Wvell being. The melancholy duty devolves on me of formally announcing to the general Assembly, the fact of the disease of the Chif Magistrate of the Nation, the venerable Zachary Taylor, who died at the city of Washington, on the " evening of the ninth of July last. The soldier whose brilliant achievments in arms added new lustre to the military fame of the country, and the Statesman whose pol shadowed forth in his. recommend-..- lions to Congress, was that of the wisest and most generous patriotism, died in the full pos session of his great mental faculties, surroun ded by endeared relative?, cherished friends", and patriotic members of government, with the calm resignation becoming a Christian soldier, and founded on the faith, which teach es that death has no terrors for those who s faithfully endeavor to do their duty. The American people paid the highest tribute to his memory by united and universal sorrow. In the purity and disinterestedness of his -: motives, the patriotism of every impulse as sffecting his public conduct, the perfect sincer ity of his desire to act justly to all men, his winning gentleness of temper as manifested in his personal deportment, were to be found traits of character which bound closely to him . his confidential friends, and gave to their sor row lor his demise a bitterness which no lapse of time or change of circumstance can alleviate. It h recommended that a suitable express ion of respect for the memory of the deceased, and of regret for our bereavement, be made ; by the present Legislature. ' On tho death of General Taylor, by the provisions of the Constitution, the powers and ' duties of the Chief Magistracy were vested, without the least interruption of the public business, in Vice President Fillmore, whose -virtue and patriotism, as manifested in the discharge of former trusts, as well as in the administration thus far of his new functions, justify the confident expectation that the poli- ' -cy of the National Administration will emi nently promote the best interests of the coun try. In us avowal of the great principle of jMLueuuon to American industry, it has an es pecial claim on the confidence of Pennsylva nia. Resolutions expiesslve of the feelings of " ht LeSis,ature on the death of the late yohn, Cal,10Un were communicated to his family. I herewith transmit the correspon t dence. 1 J, The amendment to the Slate Constitution, providing for the election, by the citizens of . Jhe judicial officers 0f the Commonwealth, navmg received me sanction of a majority cf me peupic, is now pari oi irie organic law. .Your attention is invited to such legislation as may be necessary ,to carry into complete ef feet this expression of the popular will. By the terms of the Constitution, the commissions of the Judges will expire on the first Monday . of .December, in the year one thousand eight hundred and fifty-one. It is suggested that ! uiis win anord a favorable opportunity to re--rnodel and greatly jessen the number of Judi cial Districts, At present there are no less ,llmn twenty-,four judicial districts, with dis trict Courts in Philadelphia and Allegheny .counties. A reference to the vast amount cf Dusiness transacted in these last named Cour.ts affords conclusive evidence that the interests . the community demand their continuance. reduction be made in the number of lu summon neas Districts, the salaries now paid tq the Judges ought Jo be increased to i-r lT HS WrUld 5 remuneration f jabor rorined and the responsibly incurred m the qxecu.f .on of the duties oftheir papers Dy a carnci ' omj,. v.... v.. v.in.ju,ni j ijiuijui. to willbe charged 37 1-2 cents, per year, extra.

Fair salaries wm best secure the services of honest intelli gent and competent men, in that department oi government, in the faithful administration of which every citizen is so deeply interested. An increase of the salaries of the Judges of tne uourls oi (. ommon Pleas and District Courts, would demand the extention of the same liberality to such gentlemen as may be selected to discharge the higher and more res ponsible duties of Judges of the court of last resort. Two annual elections appear to impose un necessary burthens upon the citizens. Ex pense to the general treasury, and loss of time to the voter, could be well saved by authoriz ing the elections now held in the spring to be holden at the general election in October. I o such counties as desire to fry the experi ment, the right might be granted. I have been furnished with a statement of the ex. pense incurred by holding spring elections in Dauphin county, and if the amount is a fair average of the expense to the other counties. the change indicated will save to the people of the Commonwealth annually upwards of ininy tnousand dollars. The project of creating an Agricultural Department connected with the State Gov ernment demands the favorable consideration of the Legislature. In such department might be collected much valuable information for the use of the practical farmer. The recent improvments. in the construction of imple ments of husbandry, the analysis of earths. improved modes of tillage, and adaptation of manures ana seeds to various kinds of soil, are subjects of absorbing interest to the ag ricultural classes. Diffusion of knowledge respecting the best breeds of horses, cattle and other stock, with suggestions in an author ised and reliable form, and experimental ex positions of the proper modes of rearing and training live stock of all kinds, could not fail to act beneficially on this great interest of the Commonwealth. Should the National Government erect an Agricultural Bureau, in conformity with the suggestion of the President, the State institu tion would be an efficient auxiliary in the col lection of local information and for the dis tribution here at home, of knowledge amassed in that department from other sources. In this establishment, the claims cf the mining, mechanical, and manufacturing interests on the fostering care of the Government, might be equally regarded. A private societv in iiioiiuuumii itj uy nut-rainy, activ ity and learning has done much to dcvelope and encourage the arts and sciences, useful in every day life, and has largefy aided our mechanics and manufacturers to gain a repu tation throughout the world. By the measure proposed, I desire to accomplish for the ad vancement of the agricultural, mechanical, & mining industry of the whole Commonwealth, what the Franklin Institute has done for those interests, which have enjoyed the benefit of Us discriminating care. County aud town ship institutions would speedily follow thecrea tion of a State department ; and by mutual action and counsels, the results would ensue, highly gratifying to the patriot, and benefi cial to the country. Should the returns of the seventh census of the United States be transmitted in time, the apportionment of the State into Congres sional districts may become part of our du ty In such event, it is hoped the custom heretofore pursued of postponing action on important bills of this description to the last hours of the session will be changed. It is a practice utterly inconsistent with careful and correct legislation, and destructive of the rights of a co-ordinalebrauch of the Govern ment. The committee charged with tho introduc tion of gas lights into the public buildings, have coinpueo co lar as in their power, with the directions ot the .Legislature. An appronria tion to meet these expenses, and to enclose and improve the public grounds, should be made at an early day. A complete .set of balances, furnished to the State by the General Government, have been deposited in the buildings of the Land Office. The Commissioners of tho several counties ought to be required to have (he weights and measures under their care, again adjusted and regulated. An arrangement of the Geological speci, mens belonging to the State, in some conve nient place for general inspection and the publication of the Geological reports, are de manded alike by the true interests of the State and a just appreciation of her character for enlightened enterprise. My attention has been called to the large body of original papers in the State depart ment, connected with the Colonial and revos lutionary history of the State, and their ex tremely exposed and perishing condition. ihese records are worth preservation, as con taining authentic information of the action of our fathers in the struggle for national ex.

Her soldiers were most numerous around the standard of the nation, and jhere were more battle fields on her soil than in the same area elsewhere. Every memorial of those days of devotion and trial should be faithfully pre served. There exists a single copy in man uscript of the minuted of the Revolutionary Executive Council, a document by far too valuable to remain longer within the reach of uuumcm.ur iiiuinaiiun. , ji wouiu ue .grainy ing to a large body of our constituents if the MONROE COUNTY, PA., THURSDAY, JANUARY 16, 1851. Assembly would authorize t he employment of a competent gentleman to select and ar range for publication these memorials ol an interesting epoch in the history of the Com monwealth. In the early spring tho buildings of the In sane Asylum will be ready for the reception of patients. This work of charity, worthy of ths best care of the philanthropist, from its admirable construction and healthful lo cation, cannot fail to answer the ends of its benevolent founders. It deserves the foster ing care of the Legislature. In the peiformance of your duties, attention is most earnestly directed to the revision of the laws in relation to taverns, restaurants, beer houses and tenpin alleys. It is alleged that in many instances they are made tlu common resort of the young, the idle, and the worthless, to the great detrimeut of the moral well-being of the rising generation. The suggestions and recommendations of former messages in reference to the equaliz ation of Tax laws, payment of portions of the public debt overdue, the currency, and public improvements, are again pressed on your attention. The loan authorized at the last session to redeem the over due public debt, has not been negotiated. The financial condition of the Common wealth is exhibited in the following state- ments : Amount of funded debt, including amount in tie hands of commissioners of sinking fund, and also special lotnto avoid Inclined Plane at the Schuylkill, on the 30th of No vember, 1850, was t39,8C2,9l4 73 912.570 G4 Amount of unfunded debt same date.

The actual cost of this great improvement, whereby the Plane has been avoided, the use of the public works much facilitated, and an annual saving of thirty-one thousand dollars secured to the Treasury, in the disuse of the machinery and labor necessarily connected with the plane, is show wr a9 follows : ' Amonntofcost of new road. ay $400,000 oo 243,000 w The Sinking fund operation is exhibited thus: Amount of funds received during year.

In the amounts received from Canal and rail-road tolls and collateral inheritance taxes the actual receipts of the lasf year fall short of the estimates. In making these estimates, it was supposed the suggestion of a former ; message in relation to the conveyance of pas sengers on the Columbia Railway would have e ' been favorably regarded It is believed that a argely increased revenue would attend the adoption of the changes heretofore recommen ded. That the collateral inheritance tax is : inefficiently and carelessly collected in some Exp's of Government, 235,000 ' j of the counties, and even when collected fie 5,067 go quently retained in the hands of the officers 424.832 75 ' longer than necessary, is demonstrable by 455 -co the fact of the great disproportion received at ! the Treasury from counties of equal popula- tion, business, and wealth. A statement of the amounts received from the several coun ties during the last four years, will exhibit much valuable information on the the inter- r: u,t r 1: cable to the sinking fund should be required to reach the I reasury quarterly under the se verest penalties. A reference to the reports of the Adjutant General, Auditor General, Surveyor General, and Superintendent of Common Schools, will afford detailed information of the business of their several departments, and furnish views and suggestions of interest to the general real. The school system, although still imper fect, is rapidly improving in its general condi tion, and promises the beneficial results it was designed to accomplish. The education of the people, is the great question of the age, and as such, it cannot fail to command your earnest and enlightened efforts, for its speedy and ul timate success. In the competition for trade and travel, no effort for the full repair ofthe canals and rail roada ofthe State should be neglected. The deteriorating condition of many of these works admonish us that the system of supervision is ineffectual to secure the return of which their construction gave confident assurance. In a s'stem ofdivided responsibility in their man agement, the difficulty evidently exists. On a former occasion it was suggested to divide the State into Canal and Railway districts, and 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 approbation, the propo sition of electing a Superintendent, to whom for his whole time and attention, a compen sating salary should bo paid, and under whose sole control the public works might be placed is worthy of consideration. All the evils a rising from divided counsels and sniffing re sponsibiljtieu would he avoided, and that en ergy and skill in their management secured which cannot bn expected under the present system. It is alleged this method ofsupervi sion of public works has succeeded well and beneficially in other States. A commercial connection between Philadelphia and Europe by steamships, an enterprize truly worthy the favoring regards of the whole com monwealth, and ihe countenance and' aid of the national government, by the extension of mail fac ilties the completion ofthe great Railway com munication now in rapid progress of construction to the narigable wateis ofthe West, the thorough repair of the tumberland Valley road, and the a rection of various lines of Railways in the valley of the Susquehanna, must throw an amount of trade on the Columbia Railroad which will de mand for lis transit the entire capacity of that thoroughfare in a condition of perfect repair. Every avenue by which the trade of the West, 'aslwell as of Central and Northern Pennsylvania reachos Philadelphia-, ought to be opened and v . No., 2Ch kept in such perfect condition as to afford all pos sible facility to business, for in the growih and welfare of Philadelphia, the entire people should feel a lively interest, as identical with the pros perity of the whole State. Whilst the internal trade is poured into our metropolis, and her local authorities are doing their part to promote her commerce, it is our duty to demand from the Gen eral Government some portion of its resources for the security and improvement of the harbor of lha -Delaware. Improvement of the navigable rivers and protection of the harbors of the Ocean and Lakes ought to be no longer delayed. In this connexion I deem it my duty to call your attention to the pending litigation in relation to the bridge over the Ohio river at Wheeling, e rected under the authority of Virginia, which, it is confidently asserted, puts in jeopardy large com mercial interests. It has been my care to watch the progress ofthe controversy, and to direct the proper law officer ofthe Commonwealth, associa ted with the other distinguished gentlemen who professionally represent the State, to protect these interests before the judicial tribunal which has cognizance ofthe case under the Constitution. In the various Railway projects now severally terminating at Philadelphia, Harrisburg and Pitts burg, the people ofthe Commonwealth ought nev er to lose sight of that other great enterprise which, known a3 the Sunburry and Etie Railroad, was meant to connect the Susquehanna, the Del aware, and the lakes. Besides the command of the trade of the Northern Seas secured by its con struction, it would bring into market for sale and settlement vast bodies of untenanted and unim proved lands, and develope treasures of inexhaus tible mineral wealth now wholly inaccessible. The large indebtedness of the State, and the ne cessity for its reduction, forbid the policy on her part, of embarking in these various improvements. . The debt ofthe Commonwealth was incurred in the erection of works which were largely condu cive to the settlement and sale of the domain of the United States, and while she has secured no part of this common inheritance, other States have been liberally aided in the construction of their internal improvements by donations of public lands. It is a right on her part to demand a por tion of these lands to aid in the completion ofthe important works partially completed and in con templation. A system of banking, based upon State Stocks', under proper restrictions, is recommended to the attention ofthe Legislature. It is thought that the present banking facilties are unequal to the wants ofthe business community. The large amount of notes of banks of other States found in circulation among our people, the inability ofthe banks, with safety to their credit, to accommodate at all times the active bona fide business demands of the coun try, and the large operations in the nature of pri vate banking daily transacted on severe terms to to the borrower, demonstrate that increased facil ties are demanded to secure a healthy develop ment of our resources. Any considerable exten sion ofthe present system is hardly to be antici pated, nor is it desirable, if a more permanent ba sis for such operations can be devised. r ree banking upon a deposite and oledce of public slocks early recommends itself to favor. It is not liable to sudden expansions and contrac tions more secure from failure less obnoxious to counterfeiting and fraud, and offers undoubted security to the note holder. Should the stock re quired be the loans of the Commonwealth, it would appreciate their value, and also have a ten dency to withdraw them from foreign countries, to which are annually sent millions of the public money to pay interest A recall of these stocks. and the discharge of the interest to the resident citi zens, would lead to the expenditure of an equal a- mount at home, thereby affording employment to the people in the improvements of the State, in the erection of mdsutnal institutions, and in vari ous works of beauty and taste. If this system is favorably regarded, a relinquishment of a portion of the interest on the stocks pledged would be di rectly advantageous to the Treasury. 1 he confidence felt in their security, and the desire to use the relief notes, when kept in good condition, justify the belief that - an issue of of small notes from State institutions, founded on a deposit of stocks, would be highly acceptable to the people. A reference to subjects under the control ofthe National Government, has lonjj formed part ofthe annual messages ofthe State Executives, and the custom has found favor not only by its consonance with tho peculiar relations of the States to the General Government, but in the deep solicitude felt by individual citizens in the action of the lat ter on questions of pervading and direct interest to all. From the resolves oftheir Representatives in the councils of the States, the opinions and wishes of the people are often well collected, and hence your action is frequently of great moment. In obedience, therefore, to custom, and in order that the sentiments of our common constituency may have expression either through the Executive Message or the action of their representatives, it is proper to refer to some of those questions of general interest, the disposal of which more espe cially belongs to the National Government. A revision and alteration ofthe Revenue lavva, so as to give adequate and permanent protection to the industry of the country, are demanded by the prostrate condition of the mining nnd manu facturing interests. The propriety of affording full protection to domestic industry, in the enact ment of Tariff laws, has been so fully discussed, that a mere reference to former views, is all that is deemed necessary at this time. In a late effort to amend the present Tariff, its failure may be fairly attributed to the omission ofthe last Legis lature to give expression to the perfectly well un derstood wishes and expectations of the people. It is confidently hoped no Buch omission will mark the conduct of the present assembly. A reduction in the rates of postage, and the con struction of railway communications to the Pacif ic, were urged heretofore as worthy of friendlv re gard. Repetitions ofthe views then presented is unnecessary, as time has only strengthened the , conviction of the propriety and usefulness of tho proposed measures. In rolation to the extension of Slavery and ihe duty of faithful observance of her Federal obliga- Hons by the Uommonwealth, the views expressed, in former messages remain unchanged. There ia nothing, in my judgment, in the history ofthe paBt, norm the warnings ot the future to justify the a- ' bandonment of the principles, sacredly regarded from the foundation of the State, of non-interven tion in the domestic policy of other communities and of resolute determination of permitting no in terference with our own. Fidelity in the dis charge of Constitutional duty has distinguished our government and people, and if an opinion ex ists within, or has been mischievously propagated beyond our borderb, that such is not the fart, it ia conceived in error of pur true history, Pennsly (( onesided or, fourth Pac.)
