From this view of the subjectit is appa
rent, that the asiesment of the year 1846 ow

of the year proper, derivable from all other
sources, taken together, will be insufficient
to meet the demands upcm!the-Treasuryidu
ring the carne veribd, by the sum of-416,-

the balance in the Treasury, on the Ist of De

88,590 00, and the arrears of outstanding
taxes to the sum of 754,544 50,1 t is plain,
thert;lorc, that our present financial system
is inadequate to supply themeane of meet
ing all the demands on the Treasury, except

nap-ecii ha not then 'reached a condition to
enable us, permanently, - and of once, to
re
eume a -mentor the full interbst on'our tub-
lic dcbt.—l regret that subsequent qxamina
lions and reflection, have not permitted me
to believe that I 'vas .then in error. But the
legislative action of the questiotibasl'henge_
the entire aspect- our duties, and Jendered
it useless to reverWformer views of policy.
The payment of. interest on the funded debt
of the Commonwealth', was, in fact, resumed
on the first of February, 1845. By that tar.
the State asserted herpresent ability-to meet i
her engagoments , , and it mast-be our care
that the pledge, thus renewed, be not again
Tiolated. The credit, fidelity and honor of
Pennsylvania, all demand, that, hencefor
ward. the interest on her public debt shall
be punctually. and fully paid. •
Heretofore, we might have pleaded' the un
expected fatime of tbo,Depository bank of the--
btate, a firwilays before the imerest was pay-7 -
able, and when 'the moneys appropriated try;
its discharge were accumulated in -her vault's'
—the sudden clestruct;on in value of nearly,
the entire currency in general use-,-the-pro
stration of individual crcdkand the deep and
uniVersal pecuniary' embarrassment of the
people. But now, all are prospering—the
currency is restored to a good degree olsortud
ness—our revenue system, though still im
peyfect, has greatly increased in effectiveness
and certainty - 7 enterprise. is renewed, and
the people', happy in -their institutions,. and
confident in themselves, look to the appro
priate action of the legislature to make pro
vision to satisy- the public wants.
The present-period is, in truth, the crisis of
' our affairs. Prompt and effectiva ineasures
now to make a moderate addition to our ro-I.
venue, will restore to Pennsylvania, for .all
future time, that proud positon from'which
site has temporarily been made to stoop, by
a course of policy that neecr mot the . appro
val of her people. But lcn addition must be
made . at once. Unless the militates that have.
been presented, shall prove essentially err°.
neuus,.the balance in. the Treasury, on the
first of December, 1846, will not oXceed cue
hundred thousand &liars, It is, therefore,
obvious, that, if the receipts at 'the Treasury,'
during the months - of December, 1846, and
January, 1847, do. not greatly exceed the re
ceipts of the corresponding months of...any'
preceding year, when the amount of
.outetan.
ingiaxes was greater .than be then,
a deficit must occur. in the means of the tree- -I
sury, to.pay the interest, which. will become

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

and the Increasink drivolopment of our resour

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 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

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..

'effect to cheek the intelligent and honest en

Legislature; and the periodical publication 01,
the returns, will secure to such of the banks,

of ilteir faithfulness, in the increased cotifi

that the claims of the.banks to general con
fidence should be thoroughly investigated,
and fully akenained, before their chatters

Pennsylvania comliines In an . eminent
degree the three great elements of individual
and national wealth, agriculture, commercei
and manufactures ;" and this pursuits and in
dustry of her people are 'profitably divided
among them. 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

I advert, with great satisfaction, to the
growing confidence of the people, in the suet
cess„„and management of out state improve

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 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.

several of the taxes now levied are rendered

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

special laws, while that of others of the same
classes, and equally metiterrous, remains

for a lees equivocal mode of ascertaining its
amount and character. It should not be for

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.
