has beet] able to borrow and of course haS
'Wen willing to spend. Even at,the - session
e s
of 1839-40, When the banks hauspended,
and the. rapid decline of all'state credit had
developed itsc)l, liberal approptjations were
made to the unfinished .lines OP the public
works. The 'Legislature of 1840-41, the
first for sixteen years, has had the firmness.
or appreciates(
,tke necessity,lo refuse' to
make any appropriation to. the unfinished
lines, and has confined itself strictly to the'
isr of- pressing an we.ascertaine
debts:. Surely there is a novelt - in* . this
1-refusal which — deservell attention. Nor can
this policy undergo :any material change
heretofore_ "'`
. .
.
A community- may be unable - to borrow
more Money' and yet -be-able to pay all it
owes. The -inability to tiorrw, the ex
haustion of Credit may cause the failure of
many an experiment on which large calcur
lations in the hour of prosperity may have
been*. formed, but this very exhaustion - of
credit may be and in the case of this great
I CoMmonwealth must be its best security.
.Another session of the Legislature will not •
;pass by withouteiielt attention in relation
to the public improvements,'finished and
unfitiished,,as. will
.malte: them the'source

No qne now doubts that the main line of
finished. improvemmits from' pittsbtirg" to
COlumbia'and the Bolaware division of the
Canal under an honest and economical ad=
mibistration Can be' made to yield revenue.
Few are. sanguine enough 'to suppose that
the--works-in-progress - but not completed
-will ever pay under any State supervision.
This is fully -realized by the • Legislature,
and the-time has arrived -- when ptivate ens
terprise will reeessarily be invoked and
companies 'be'created to completel.and con
duct the unfinished works. Measures ten

• As ter the .Revenue Bill, I have avoided
entangling you and myself in-the discus
sions to which it . has given rise... If it be

,pan be; that there is
no reason for a panic or a doubt as to State
Credit; the Legislature having furnished
.ample and secure means - for the - piiiietUal
payment of • the, interest on the public debt
and the appreciation of the State . Stocks,
and having secured the State against any
increase of the,principal .of the debt,'One
of the current objections to this measure is
renioved;l-1--if it be shown that at
the end Of Wye years or ,sooner ; when. the
loan authorized by the 'Revenue. Bill iSI: to
be 'repaid, the financial condition of the
Common wealth m ust be such as 'to remove

: compromise - against - diflieultiers - which none'
of those wife now form and express harsh
judgment can appreciate.' If i be'accepted
and no benefit results,. it will not be the

This-is one:of the biblest'and largest,
robberies' that we have ever heard of, and
the expitementand_commotionwhich it-has
caused in our quiet. town is such as we
have never seen here before.
Persons and handbills have been .des-
patched . in' various directions, for the pur
pose of effecting
_tho.,apprehensiou of the
robbers. Many persons suspect, and• there
are circumstances whiclt justify. the suspi
cion, that the robbers have gone to the
Southivest. It wauld . be well that the_po 7
lice in that- and:all:directions shoulirte - ep
a careful look out.
The doors'of the bat* were immediately
closed upon the detection 'of the ioGbery.
The capital paid imwas $175,000, and the
amount of fluids...a:every denomination
taken is a few thopsand:dollars more tan
the capital paid in.
