I siepro;tc..eiietile people of the from tierive'.na'imniediate benefit from the outlay for that purpose, it would seem- to be just and proper, that the rebuilding and repairing of, the private bridgss'ehould hereafter be done by the owners of the property, and. tho Public ones by the townships or counties, in which they are ,ftituated; Since my last annual inessage,in which took occasion to refer to the combinations -or private corn ponies and individuals,to monopokelind reap nearly, ell the advantages from the transpdrtation on our internal ireprovements, there has'been a trial and conviction of several persons, on the clearest .proof, of a most flagrant conspiracy to render this monopolizing combination still more triumphant over the laws. This conviction will' • have the salutary tendency to arrest hereafter'any such illegal attempts. It is now 'to be hoped, that .11v theriencivid of these obetecles in-the way of fair individual' competificm, - our public' improve- merits will be open, as they Were intended to be, to the free and equal enjoymentof all. • Several recommendations, err what were.deem , sid 'esSientiatreforms, in the, manages : tient of our internal improvements, made either by -the exe. motive cane :commissioners, have been hitherto baffled and defeated, by combinations of interest, which it is not- easy to comprehend.

If any more effec tual luode 'file the accomplishMent of this object 'can be devised, it will efford Inc great pleasure to • co.operate with yemin carrying it into execution. • The,resuletion of the General Assembly of the . . April laSt, `'relative to the payment of-in terest to domestic creditors," provides that of 11c creditors of the Commonwealth as do net choose to receive certificates ofstock, shall be en-• titled to a credit for the amount of their claim on the hooks of the r editor General, arid shall-re ceive interest at six per cent. on balances due for work done prior to the 4th of May, 1841, interest to be all Owed from that date, and on liiilances due fur work done since the 4th of May, 1841, -inter ' lyst to be allowed from the parisag,e of the net.— ' And the first section of the act• of the :27th July last, after Utilising certain specific appropriations, directs whatever balance may be in the Treasury entire first day of August, November and Feb. ruary then next, after paying current demands'en the Treasury, to be divided pro rata among the domestic creditors having claims for work Ilend ?prior to the 4th May, 1441, or for repairs, &c. on I finished lines of 'canals and railroad, previous to the first day of April, 1542. In pursuance of the foregoing acts, claims amounting in the aggregate - to 81,191,710 23 were entered on the books of the Auditor liceeral at the close of tilt:financial year, •of which 5um5537,461 78 was Tor Work done juror, and $59.1,04 . 8 45. work done subsequent to the 2th of May, 1.811. On the first day of AU. gust the Treasury weeld not admit of a dividend - --therefore the first and only inStillinent-, twenty per cent...was paid alt the first Ne'vember,together with ch idterest their due, which amounted, divi dend and interest, to sdiii,s6'.l '43. • Notwithstanding the very OA Ilan dory results which here grown out of the Woad arid liberal construction 'given by the •A editor General, to the ' resolution of WO 7th APril, yet•remains a very deserving class of creditors,who have rectiv ., ed none of its benefits, nor Was it atull•practic ' able to bring these . within its provisions.. The • poor laborers scattered along the, Improvements, 'who with their own hands du the work necessary Jo.keep them in navigable condition, should be the objects-of the first care of the' government.— . In this instance they were entirdly overleoleedithe . appropriation for repairs being inadequate, From the elisracter of theirsclaints—thei r coin rati • ly trifling einount, and their number, it was found • inexpedient to enter these on the books of the Auditor Gomm!. If they had hien entered, it would in many cases have cost tire whole auto due •to procure the dividend from the TreaSiiry—and, indeed, it would be a mockery for the government, instead of payments, to oiler pour laborers a pre . rata dividend'on a claim of a tare dollars. It is . • ardently hoped that this worthy and in most cases suffering dabs of domestic creditors, will receive tile immediate attention of the legislature._ . _ , It hadhappened in relation to the banking sys tem of this CoMmonwealth, as has on many occa sions heretotbre been the case with the histitutioes founded on unsound principles, that whir ell its. power, and with all its hold en public confidence and support, it has fillet' by ilia weight of its own -imperfections. If any legislative actiomcan re store public confidence in the banks, or render them of more service to the community, it will become your duty to furnish it: The mode and -detail of the uid to-be rendered, I leave in the hands of the representatives of the people. But the public certainly expect, that you will not ad jourrr until you have made ample provisioo for • withdrawing- from circulation the rotes issued by the. batiks in pursuance of the act of 4th May, 1841 ; and it will afford mo great pleasuie to co -operate with you in any measure that may be 'deemed most advisable tur thi accomplishinent of this object. A tthe same time, I will take occa sion to suggest one source, horn which the means ' miry be readily o quilled to extinguish a large per. Finnof there issues.

The present condition of tire Bank of -Pennsyl - venia requires tine most carefel consideration of • the legislature. • The, St...ite has' a do, p interest-ir e the proper managemeet of that, in and equally so, in winding it up, if- that be deemed a politic measure. Several acts werO passed during' the last session in relation to it; but owing to some defect they did not answer the purpose de . • signed.. Some remedy should be at force provid ed. One suggestion I will make 011 the subject, and that is, that in no coetingeney should the con trol of the bank be placed exclusively in the hands , - • of the private stockholders. Let, the State and the stockholders - he put do the Crime leding—each , having . , rcipectively, the abate of control equal to m the - aount of steel( h.. 10: - No just complaint can then be made, and the interests of' all parties will ' he properly guarded. This much, at (east, the public has a right to expect. The passage of a law providing for the election of members of Congress will be one of the sub jects demanding your early attention.

The complexity end obscurity of many of tho material provisions of the act entitled, "An act to abolish imprisonment for debt,and to punish freed ulent debtors,".have rendered 'its operation almost nugatory. I It seems to have-produced little bene fir to tho, debtor, and .much inconvenience -to the creditor. Its provisidns certainly require a the rough revision, and if, any law or the kind be deemed necessary, it should be one, very differ- Out in many of its leading features from the pre. sent.

This Morbid li:cling:has even reached jurors, and other functionaries engaged in the administration I,f . erimirifil justice,selhat-it is-hot-au unusual spec: triele.to see courts and juries convierand sentence on the clearest_ testimony a criminal on one day, and recommend his pardon to the executive the next. These appeals, thus sustained, addressed themselves with great force to the magistrate en -trustee with the power of pardoning offenderS and it _is nate be disguised, that unless some chee k be put upon' it, it will, in the end, lead to great in justice and_ahuse. -These rCmarks are made, not ' so ankh with a view to invite immediate legisla tion on thusubject, as tOinfluence and temper the action of the legislature on subjects connected with the criminal jurisprudence of the State. It has been stated -that certain loan companies, insurance comp:Mies, and other similar corpora tions which have sprung into existence within the last ten years, effected their organization, and ob tained their charters, vithout conferming strictly .to the requisitions of the law, or after having ob, (airier' 'their. charters, perpetrated-acts, whereby' they would ho forfeiteil; and-have, through sun dry devices, procured the passage, of laws desiif. cd, I . Vithout having the object expressed,-to screen them from the penalty which they had incurred, audio sanctify the illegality .and 'corruption in which they originated. Such legislation_as this ,is doubtless et war with The public interest and Astray, and I respectfulli , recommend to the legiS lature, to enquire into the subject,-and Welly such laws have been smuggled through; in which the real object was not manifested; to repeal the same at once, and to leave these corporations in precise ly the sane situation, in. which (heir ocvn gets .placed them, at, the timb„they were perpetrated. Additional chancery powers have been vested iii some of the courts of this Commonwealth, with out suitable provision having been made for the execution of these powers. The benefits to be derived from this modification of our jurispru dence will- in a great measure be lost, unless these defects are supplied. Arnong other .provisions ainhority should he given ' fia- the appointment of masters in chancery. and auditors, and their Tune Bunsdefined.- • . . - The legislature having omitted to-appoint an agent to receive from the-general -government the dividend-of this Slate from the proceeds of the sales of the !while lands, I appointed Job klarM, Esq., State. Treasurer; by virtue of the untliority given me by an act of Congress, who has receiv ed it, amounting to $60,313 27. . . The explorations connected with the Geological survey having been' brought to a e - uccessful ter mination, it is necessary that measures be now adopted by the legislature for embodying and pith fishing the results without delay. As the state has expended a considerable sum in this examina tion of-liermineral resourcesi-ns it-is known that the final report and maps of the state Geologist will contain much vahiable information of a na ture to invite and direct the invettinents of capi tal necessary - for the developement of our unsur passed mineral- wealth ; and as the expenses of arranging and publishing the details procured, will bear but a smell proportion to that a trendy in curred in collecting them, considerations of sound economy and the public good require,that the pro. per Steps be taken for affording- our eitizedslthel benefits of this survey as - soon as practicable. By applying the balance of the appropriations-for t h e incidental expenses of the survey, the Geologist has . been enabled to make considerable progress towards completing the maps, and drawings, and various other portions of the'work ; but much de lay has arisen from the legislature having omitted at its last session, to make provision for the fur nishing end engraving, of the maps, for the recep tion of the State Cabinet, and for the printing, of the final report-, in conformity to, (lie suggestions in the last annual report of the Geologist,to which . you arc respectfully referred. . Oppressed as the state is, by pecuniary ember -rassmentsTat-the-present time, - Blliel us to retrench all expenditures of the public money, and to ;;; g uard the interests of our constituents with the same fidelity and care that we would ox- ' ert in guarding our own. Among nther import ant expenditures; those incident to the I , :gislatiire see ri to have heen, for tlie last twenty.yearsgrent• ly on the increase. .While the expenses of time other departments have been almost stationary, those of the legislature have been consith_trably more than doubled. No satisfactory reason can ho shown for this, and it calls aloud for inquiry end redress. The public printing is one of the largest Berns in this expenditure, and- has increas. ed., in a ratio that defies reasonable explanation. It demands a remedy. I can see none better than to provide for appointing a public printer to execute all the public printing at fixed and rea sonable prices. 'The work can then be done with greater facility and economy: . Sound policy strongly recommends this mcasura, and the-ex athple of other -states fully sanctions it. I re spectiblly commend itto your attention. This is the first eccasiop on which-I have had the honor to address a majority of both houses of the general assembly, belonging to the same po. litical relationship' with , myself; and I cannot forbear-to express - the - gratification - I - feerarthe' prospect of a harmonious, and confidential under standing between the :several legislative depart., moots of the government.

It is to be hoped it was railer in "conse quences of the festivities of the holyday and sleighing season, than any flagging of the inter est manifested by the public in the opening ice. tures of the Course. It would be discreditable in no small degree to the character of our commun ity, were the course to be suspend on this account; and we trust there will be such an audienco pre sent on the coining occasion as will remove all apprehensions on this score. The last lecture was excellent and abounded in eloquent passages; we think, too, it is not hazard ing, much to promise a fine treat in the lecture on XrThe Whigs of the H. R. run Mr. Foreman of Lancaster county, as their candidate for Speak,. cr. Though they had not numerical strength e nough to elect him, it was a compliment to Mr., F. which his long.:tried and faithful Services to the party well-deserved.

Beautiful Flare-up: We were unfortunately net prevent at the Bu chanan meeting, on Monday evening, but aro in formed that the scene was rich in-the highest de gree. After tee organization of the meeting, a committee reported a series of resolutions„which instead of being•confitied to the laudation of Mr. Buchanan, for which thO meeting was called, launched out in a strain of harsh denunciation against that portion of Mr. B's friends, known as the Anti Tux party. This of course aroused the ire of the members of that branch of the pal who were present, and several of them rose to op. pose their passage. A good deal of confusion en. sued, but the old leaders, assisted by the magic wand of "the frophet," had the vote taken on the resolutions,and although the noes expressed an unquestionable majority, the .resolutions "were Iflswinderer" declared-carried-by-the ciplined ',Chairman, an "old stager" in political managing and sleight o'-hand 1.

Tho business.inani-whose operations are almost paralyzed by the hard times, backed with the ru inous deptoblatinn of the very inadequate amount of money now in elfealation, will wade through the meson s ., Crows htlinning tv :3-1.1 without find ing the smallest semblance Jo a recommendation of any plan which will give relief under the crush; ing weight of his pecuniary difficulties. His Ex cellency does teconamend . that the Relief notes be cancelled as somas possible, but no " better_cur-- rency" is recommended to fill up the vacancy.— He remarks, however, byway of consolation s we • suppose, that " at the close of the last war the pe cuniary embarassments and distress pervading our country were far greater than they are now." The tai.payer will not rise from the perusal of this document With a whit the inure pleatire than the tradesman. While a sanction is given to the decrease of the currency-to the amount of over two millions of dollars, the farmer will leek In vain for ,any suggestions by which the amount of taxation will be lessened ; or reforms proposed, which leading to a . more economical administra tion of the government, will reconcile the people to the cheerful payment of taxes which are'neces sary to maintain the good faith and credit of the State. He will find I plausible argument in fa vor of retaining the public works, to breed new swarms of domestic creditors, and to fatten the hordes of offiee-holders who line these iipproi& ments. But he will not find any specification' of abuses to be reformed, or, useless expenditures to beretrenehod r by which the-enormons - outlays up: on the different branches of the government will be materially-lesieried. • The message contains some good suggestions. , The remarks upon the School system, and those upon the rights of minorities,. if not hypocritical, will be approved of. But his reproach on account of the relaxation of the execution of the criminal laws, seems much like an insult 'added to outrage when coming from a man who has plucked critn; finals out of the hands bejustico by a previous.par• demand tkroWn open the.prison.doors to the scores of convicts Who have been let loose upon society by him within a few years. • The Governor speaks of the petitions of courts and piles in favor of prisoners as Going the cause of so many pardons; we, believe on the contrary these petitions are .rather the drot and the consequence of the Gov. ernor's excessive clemency, ___ Tim Govsrnor'siriendshipSor "Pennsylvania's fitvorito son," Mr. Buchanan; may be judged, we presume,, by the flattering notice-of the "Peace party," of which Air, Buch;tnan • was ono of the. distinguished champions during the Into war ihnpeachutenit'ot the Governor On Friday last a petition was presented to the House of Representatives; signed by Andrew Mil ler, Henry Young, VV - ..C.

Y. COurier. The remainder of it contain ing more minute details relative tothe conspiracy, its, detection, and the execution of the mutineers, we shall endeavor to publish in our next. The examination of the officers has been going on for some days—their testimony fully corrobo rates the statement of the Commander. Not one of them expreases a doubt of the necessity of ihe execution." Lieut. Geusevoort, On his examina tion, deciared.that "he did nal believe, that the vessel could have been brought into port. in the hands-of its dieers had not the kngleaders been executed." 'We'think no one can read"the testl. mony without deeming it conclusive op this point. Public, opinion thus far .generally sustains Com- . minder McKenzie:, ' • Gen. Jaekson's Fine. It is to be hoped - that Congrese.will plias a bill for the refunding of the fino of $lO6O irripose'd upon Gen. Jaikson in 1815; by: - Judge Halo of New Orleans. It iequitsi improbable that the General ever paid this fine, as it is asserted upon pretty good authority that the amount-was rais ed \ a. by subscription among the citizens. But' we & nevertheless in favor of refunding it, and thus put an. end to the, brawling which has been made about injustice by Locofocoisiii r for the sole pui. pose of raising - a - littlOpolitical - capital. In reference to this_fine we quite agree with the,Albany.Evening Journal. Says the Journal, This whole • matter about Gen. Jackson's fine, which hoe made so much figure in the ne.wspa., pers for two years-past, is neither more nor less than a pOlitical contrivance' got up by the Loco roma to divert public attention- from the great questions at issue between the , t3Vo parties. It is Screen behind which they.hope to carry on, un— molested,. their Operations for securing the entire control of the 'State and General Governments. So long-as they can amuse their followers with the cry of " justice to Gen. Jackson " they think that they may, with perfect'impunity, misnitinage the government, destroy the currency, repeal 'the Tariff, squander the Land. Fund and feather their own nests by plucking . the ptiblic goose. -.Hence their anxiety to agitate this question . . of repaying. the thousand dollars fine. Hence their . persever. mg clamor for 'qustice to general Jackson."— And hence too the eagerness with which they catch up and comment upon the articles of-the Whig papers — against , this humbug ,proposition. Their zeal in this matter is the sheerest, boldest pretence, and the proof that it is so, is to be found in thi;fa`'ct that for the twelve years during which they held undisputed sway in both Houses ofCon gross not one of these mouthipgdeinagogues over dreamed of readering this "Justice toGeneral Jackson !" But the moment a Whig ; Congresis assembled at Washington and r there was a pros '. pect of making political capital and of hiding political Sins, by the agitation of this question, the whole Ledo Foco press and party became sud denly alivo to the shocking enormity of refusing to refund General Jeckson'sfine; Nbw .it seems to us " inconsideiate," to say the least, in the Whigs', to help along-this plot-of-the-enemy--by keeping up the discussion. - Wo would that the- Whig press' could be persuaded to leave the ex clusive 'enjoyment of this "inad-dog " cry to their Loco Foco brethren. We Would too that the present Congress could be induced to pass a bill to repay General Jackson's fine, both that lie might resolve from a Wino Congress that, "jun. Lice " which his own political friends denied him, and that this piece of Loco Fpco artillery being ,"'spiked," the Destructiies might be called to a strict account before the people for the manifold evils whiCh they have cntailcd.upon (lie country. No Oppressive Taxes without Re torus: The National Forum, in a notice of the Governor's Message, speaks the feelings of the people of this county, 2nd we doubt not of every other in the State, in its remarks upon'the . system of Taxation. To save ourStateeredit, says-the Forum, and pay our honest debts, there will be.no objection to Taxes : but we must have-the assurance that the amount thus raised will be honest, deVoted to the payment of our State debt and not squandered upon partisan favorites. The.

They had hoped to shot , from it that the New Tariff is destroying the Rev enue and Foreign! Commerce of the Country, but it proves exactly the reverse. The lleVenue from Customs this years coneiderably larger than last, as it should be, yet still beloW the pressing wants of the Government, and such as to render it mor ally certain-that a- Protective Tariffwill neither leavetheTreasury bankrupt on the one hand nor will it overflow it on the other. The Tariff, as ad. jested at the last Session, is about adequate to the annual wants of the Government, economically administered.; but a ?oldie Debt of some Twe4. 7 ty Millions . having been incurred under.. the com parative Free Trade of the lasefive years, it Wily be found necessary to lay additional dutietron Tea, Coffee, &c., for a. few. years in ordeuto pay off this national indebtedness. But for this, the Tariff would be just about right as it is, the Ex pendilures of the Government admitting 'of some further reduction. Then as to oue'commeica—lthe gross amount Of our .Exports for the year now closing exceeds that "of our Import. only by some Five of Six Millions; which, in 1843,..when the increased Rates of Duty will - have effect through the whole year will probably be increased to - ten or fifteen Now.we do not expect or desire a nal. Rain preponderance hi value of our Exports over our Import. s but for tbepresenl, while vre owe a heavy debt to Europe, and our Circulating Mcdi. um is so emnty and unstable, this is manifestly as it should bc.
