Work, work, my boy, be not afraid, Look labor boldly in the face; Take up the hammer or the spade, And blush not for your humble.place. Hold up your brow in honest pride, Tho' rough and swarthy your hands may be; Such hands are sap-veins that provide The life blood of the nation's tree. There's honor in the toiling part, That finds us in the furrowed fields; It stamps a crest upon the heart Worth more than all ycur quartered shield?. Food :tiiS Dj Jitks for the Sick.

Public opinion is healthy on I denend.mnn KO riiirht ein... the ' r-" -o modification of a law of Congress, ft i3 an insult to. the intelligence, virtue, and integri ty of the people, to intimate so treasonable an idea. These are my views freely and frank ly given. Whatever representations may be made, to these and none other I adhere. There are other important questions to which I invite your attention. When before the people in 1848, 1 pledged myself to advocate a modification of the Ta riff of 1846. I did so. I recommend a mod- ' ificat;on in eah of my messages, but the . counsels of the opposition prevailed and the : jaw has not been chano-ed. It still remains, , doing its work of harm to our State and coun- 'try. Our manufactures are depressed; our imr less and less valuable: the nriees of arain j and other products of the earth are gradually ; 61nk mfr: in nnrts nr the htntn. nrnnertv hns much depreciated in value : the trade on the ' public works is not so active as if all were J prospering; the revenues of the State are con sequently less m amount and every tax pay er in the Commoniceallh is the loser. These are the necessary results of the Tariff of 1846 which favors the British instead of the American manufacturer, and which is slowly , but surelv deorivinn- the American farmer of a ffood market for his productions. I have I have ! used my efforts to avert these evils. i not been seconded by the other party who i had a majority in Congress, and hence these I difficulties. I have discharged my duty. It j remains for the people to discharge theirs to express at the ballot-box their approval or disapproval of the conduct of those men who enacted and kept in force the Tariff of 1846. And now a few words about the bill repeal ing the sixth section of the anti-kidnapping law of 1847. It is represented that upon my signing this bill immediately the Union de pends. The facility with which the argu ment of the dissolution of the Union is used is remarkable. Permit me .o call your attention to the facts of the case, and sec how far they sustain me in my course. This law was passed in 1847 was signed by my predecessor in office, Francis R. Shunk then Governor of the State. It has continued on the statute book four years. If what is said of the importance of the bill repealing the sixth section be true, is it not singular that the Union exists at this day Not only this. The section upon which it is alleged- so much rests, was re pealed, Avhenl At the beginning of the last scssionl At the earliest practicable moment after the organization ! No. At the middle of the session I No. When did they, who had the power, pass this bill upon which it is asserted the Union hangs 1 About one hour before the final adjournment of the Legisla ture. Could any thing more clearly show the folly and inconsistency of those who are pursuing me for not having acted upon the bill! If they could postpone action upon it until all other business was transacted, why may not I be excused from being hasty ! The Pamphlet Laws of the last session will cover about 800 pages. An examination will show, that the laws which cover about 400 of these pages, were passed on the last two days of the session. These bills were pre sented to me for action, and it was after the most laborious application, I was enabled to read, examine and dispose of even part of this mass of enactments. The bill to repeal the 1 2c Sout 'one .hour before the final ad- ! journment, after committees had been ap- I nn;r.tr1 in infrirm tnn thnt tVin tll-A TTritlSP'; pointed to inform me that the two Houses were ready to adjourn, and while a large mass of business, including the appropriation bills necessary to carry on the government, still remained undisposed of. Under these cir cumstances, I have held the bill over in the exercise of a privilege guaranteed to the Ex ecutive by the Constitution, to prevent inva sions upon his rights by the Legislative branch of rrovernment. What man who venerates n that instrument as he should, will intimate that the provision is wrong And who can justly blame me for an unwillingness to allow a tardy Legislature to deprive mo ofthe right of considering an important public bill, and of communicating my action thereon to the people's representatives 1 I had often pressed upon the Legislature the necessity of noting upon public bills at a period of the session sufficiently early to give the Executive time to examine and deliberate. The Legislature saw tit to disregard this re commendation. Having- received nothing from their courtesey, I insist upon the con stitutional rights ofthe Executive, which, as a sworn officer I am bouud to protect and de end, as much as those of any other Department ofthe Government With the peculiarly domes tic mstitutiona of other States 1 have no wish' to interfere. Neither by word nor;deed will V neck to influence the loci! legislation of any. The right of passing their own local, -police laws, which I cheerfully accord to them, I demand for Pennsylvania, and whether a pub lic officer or a private citizen, I shall ever protest against my native State surrendering any of those glorious rights of sovereignity which belong to each member ofthe Union a well-prized legacy of the days in whch tho foundations of the government were laid. Pennsylvanians are abundantly competent to the government of themselves, and they will not and should not, submit to the dictation of others outside her limits. Giving one's whole attention to his own concerns is an admira ble rule among private individuals. Those who practice the wise precept are generally re spected members of society,, and grow pros perous and happy. Its obsen'ances among States could not be otherwise than beneficial. With these opinions I am willing to enter the canvass, and to labor for a party which cannot fail to succeed if harmony and a spir it of fraternal feeling animate the whole..
