The ,Delaware division, the Susquehanna and North,Branch divisions, to- the month of the Lackawanna, the West Branch division to Queens' Run, the Beaverdivision'to New Cas tle, the Franklin line, and the French Creek Feeder; were all substantially finished when Gotrorrrof Wolf left the Executive Chair . ; and the sum-of 344,619$ 09, Was all that remain ed to ho paid for completing them. The 'State bad reached a point in. her im provement system, at which she could have suspended operations without loss. The scheme of direct taxation, to pay the interest, on the State loans, which had been introduc ed under-Governor Wolfs administration; was admonishing the people of the inconven ience of a public debt: - . Every thing indicated that the further progress of our - State improve inents was to be deferred, till time had "test ed thO productiveness. of the finished works; and the Increasink drivolopment of our resour cep had invited and justified their further.ex tension . • $1,300,000 00 It was,oat thie - time, that the act of the 18th . bf February, 1836. ',lased : entitled, "an act lo'repeal the 'State tax on real and person -al property, and to continue and extend the improvements of the State by Rail Roads and .Canals, and to charter a State Bank, to be called the United States B.atik." s The first seetiOnif this act rescinded the 'system of tax es,which had been.Ldevise.d.lor the. protec tion of the public ciedit—while, by other sec , tions. more than two millions of dollars to be received from the Bank, were appropriated at once to the Keiser:Ltd onnf Company works, and. the commencement .of new ones, under the direct chare of the State. ' To enablethe Commonwealth to consumatc this sion of improvements, six naillimo, of dollars were promised as a permanent loan 'to 'the State, at an interest of foul per cent..and oth e'r loans at the same..rate_wera,to_be made, when required, to the amount cif iiiie million dollars mutually. Under the,:iMpulse of this Act,- and of the influences which effected its passage, a new setjes of improvements were begun at once, all of.which after the expen• dituro of many millions, new forming part of the public debt, and the cause of increased taxation, have been abondoned by the . State, and have passed, most of them, into the hands ofeompanies, which have paid no consider lien for them. . • It oven stems, that the State Lim not limi k luities to the works thus common ced.

The North and West Branch Canals, and the Del.4ware Division, in connexion with various improvements owned by companies, besides opening markets to the productions of the farmer, furnish out-lets for our coal and other minerah, by obich not, only our own citizens are supplied, bat also those of the neighboring and Eastern States, to the great advantage of both. hlany panel( the State are also found most favorably adapted-to the growing of wool, another great stable to na tional independence-, and the successful ap plication of mineral coal to the smelting! of I iron, has given a new impetus, among us, this most -inn of all the branches of manufactures It is not surprising, therefore, that our pee -phr-teel-a cle.ep anxiety in regard to the-adop-- don or the change of any policy, on the part of .the fmberal government, which may be supposed to affect such great interests. The regulation of a tariffon imports, BO as to favor tho development of our domestic resources, and give satisfaction to 'the various parts of the Union, has 'long been a vexed and ex citing question. It's influences for good ,or,, evil, have no doubt been greatly exaggerated in different sec tions of the country. The true policy of the nation would seem to lie be tween the extremesof4hose, who Claim high duties for the mere purpose of protecting par ticular interests, and those who would not disvriminate at all In laying revenue duties, for the purpose of, favoring the productions and industry of our own country.. Any course of policy which would have the 'effect to cheek the intelligent and honest en prize of our citizens; and to retard the devel d of our national-resources, cep never the receive the sanction or 'acquiescence of the ,ey to people of this confederacy.

Her hills and mountains are almost everywhere filled vr.ith inexliittratible, supplies-of iron ore -and mineral coal; and her valleys abound with water poWekibr propelling machinery, iri • the midst of . tiie finest agricultural regions. She 'has con structed, at great cost, a line of improve ments-by canals and railways, connecting the waters of the Atlantic with those of the great West,-which not only affords out own chi zone a cheap and convenient Ingile .of trans porting-their produCts to market, but also e benefits ri. the internal 'trade and commerce -of a luTll 7 dthe other 'a 01 a I , NUMBERi- XVIII. amount equal to that'ivhich - was carried ott the State impro\ From the bet entibleirterObiTtiilt3i4 - 1 - of tone of Anth, -,.:out of the mines and carried to market during the last year, the,great proportion of Which. was to the Eastern and neighborifik States,,being -an increase of abed twenty-five -per' cent. over the operations Of the preceding,- yper, and, it is believed, the trade in thlS:tlirtiele will increase in oven' a greater ratio the pro- - sent year. Of the Bituminous Coal, a very latge amount was a'so Mined' and rent to market. It' is estimated, That not less than thirteen milliorislaishels were consumed at Pittsburgh and in its'Yicinity, and about six millions. of 'bushels were transported_ from that point down the Ohio River, I advert, with great satisfaction, to the growing confidence of the people, in the suet cess„„and management of out state improve inents, which bas been secured by the vie lance and economy of the Canal - Commis sioners. I The importance of these works, as a con- I tribution to. the national defence, and their I value to the citizens of other; States, tls wan I tas our own, cannot be too highly appreciated. They are now yielding a considerable-imition of a revenue to meet the claims upon the Treasure'. The security of the public. credi tors, and the faith and honor of the State, are most intimately-connected with their success and productiveness. They, therefore, demand the. special care and vigilance bf the Legisla ture,' by which the income 'they aro now - yielding, may be secured and advanced with the increasing business of the country. In this connection, there are few objects of national concern in -which Pennsylvania has a, deeper interest than in the appropriation for removing the obstructions- to -the nayigav don of the 'Ohio Rivet, to the city of Pitts burgh; which is a port of commercial entry. The claims-uphii Congress, to expediate the `c„ompletion of this work, long Since commenc ed, as one of national interest, derive great force ftom the communication it would faci litate.between the Western . and ,South. tern States; on the one band, tnii these of the Atlantic on the other, by Means of our : improvements, The legislative enactments of the few last years, fla.ya introduced numerous improve ments, in the „syatem of leaving and collect ing the revenues.of the Stile, and have guar. dect their expenditure with more care than formerly. I Have every reason to believe, that these laws ate strictly and honestly ad ministered by the accountant and Treasury Departments, and that the.infliience of their .authority and - example, has -had a --salutary effect - upon all.the public agents. Much,how ever, remains to be done to perfectbur aye. tern of taxation. omp amts are m .e, t.t several of the taxes now levied are rendered unproductive, as well as oppressive, bir,im perfections in their assessments. - Personal estates, that should bear a share of the public, burthens, escape altogether, by the interpo sition of a trust, between the ostensible and the beneficial owners. The property of many corporations-is eNempted from taxation by special laws, while that of others of the same classes, and equally metiterrous, remains bound. Securities for the payment of mo- - ney, aro by the words of the law, made tax. able, which are, in fact, the more evidence of passing transactions, and can, in no de gree,- be regarded as oven temporary invest ments of the property of those in whose hands they are found'. The simple exhibit, by the -eitizeit r of-hisper-sonal-roate e,, v i le twist nut__ any other sanction, is substituted, generally for a lees equivocal mode of ascertaining its amount and character. It should not be for gotten, that the tax which one citizen eludes, or is. legally relieved from, is distributed among the rest, and forms an addition to their I:ertheds. ` Justice to the tax-payers requires that this should not be aufferecre The whole" eubject, hoe-ever, is one peculiarly within your province, and, I command it to your 'prompt and serious consideration.
