ADDRESS OF GOY. BIGLER
To the People of Pennsylvania.
WAVERLY, Y. Sept. 22, lg 54.
Frlbw Citizefts:—lt is now nearly three years
since yon entrusted me with the discharge of the
duties of the office of Governor. I have endea
vored, to the extent of my feeble abilities to per
form the trust in such a manner as to develope
the resources of the State, promote a just public
policy, and advance the welfare of the people.—
flow far 1 have succeeded in this work is for you
to determine.
A Deul6cratic State Convention, in March last,
presented me for your suffrages for a second term
In accordance with what appeared to be a recog
nised custom, I left the seat of government,
near the close of last month, for the purpose of
meeting the people of the several counties of the
State, and in person accounting to them for my
stewardship; and declaring to them tni views and
intentions on all public questions of State policy.
A panful and dangerous illness has deprived me
of this pleasure. For near three weeks I have
been confined to the room in which I write, du
ring all of which time, as I lam, the canvass has
been actively pursued by my opponent. It is
now impossiblt for me to visit more than a few if
any of the counties prior to the election, and I
can see no mode of reaching you with my views
except through the medium of the press.
In my present enfeebled state of health, and
id this locality, without access to the books and
documents which I ordinarily refer to, I shall
limit what I shall herein discuss to those ques
tions which legitimately hear upon our State pol
icy, or which are in some degree involved iu the
present canvass, and in raereucc to which 'I may,
in she event of my re-election, be called upon to
act in my official capacity.
What I have done, and what I would wish to
du if re elected, it t. your right to know
1 must, in the first place, congratulate you o u
the flourishing conditi,m of all the great interests
id . the state, exceptlug only the a,geiculturtil,
which has suffered materially by the drought of
the e•asou.
The finances of the State were uover in a more
hole..,urne condition Our resources are equal
to all ordinary demands, with an annual surplus
of about three quarters of a million' of dollars,
which is applicable to the payment 01 the public
debt. For the three past years, this surplus has
I.',i u ~L.-orbed in the consummation of schemes
of improvement commenced prior to my induc
tion into office Those undertaken will cost the
State, in all, over four millions and a half of dol
lars But for these a very large reduction in the
state debt would have taken place during the
term of my service. Nu new schemes of expen
diture have been commenced under my adman,-
tractor', save only a small appropriation LO enclose
the public grounds and a meagre SUM to sustain
an idiotic schoolt ill should be re-fleeted Gov
ernor I shall employ the power of the Executive
department to arrest all new schemes of improve
ment a t th e expen s e of the treasury
I have always regarded the proposition to sell
the public works as a business question. The
policy of the measure depending largely upon the
price to be obtained and the conditions on which
p..sscssion of the works may be granted. If a
sale be made for aii aggregate stun, less than the
amount on a LILL the net profits would pay the
interest, then it would DOI Ue et:011(1111y to sell, ail
lueli a measure would increase and not lessen the
burdens of the people Should the policy of 4ell-
mg meet the approbation of the representatives
id the people hereafter, the utmost care should
t,e taken to secure a tuli couipt.usation and tv
wake the conditions such as most et nuttily to
guard the rights and interests of the publ:, in the
u s e tlo•se gr.-it highway , lam sure all will
agree that no corporation ,houhl hare In tru•
provemenhs ou suet' terms as would enable it to
just burdens I /Li the internal trade cif the
Suitt., or upon the rights ,if the people.
No such nn a.mre eau ever receive my `ianetion
I hay , Token of thi- branch of public affairs
with ,leliewy, because its management and con
trot have been confined to agents ' , evicted by the .
people tlik_rusel% es; and accountable only to them
The ExecutiNe having no power to direct in what
manlier the public works shall be managed
As indicated in my annual message, you arc
aware that 1 regard the State's system of man
aging the public works, as susceptible of great ,
improvement. I then expressed the opinion,
which I still sustain, that the management should
be based on plain business principles
The currency of the State seems to be in a
wholesome condition When I assumed the ex
ecutiie ullice, a strung sentiment in favor of what
is called the free banking system, instigated main
ly by the influence of the preceding administra
tion, evidently pervaded the minds of many good
citizens. I felt required to interpose the influ
ence of my position against this scheme. Sub
sequent events must certainly satisfy all, that
such a step would have been disastrous to the
true interests of the State, and especially to our
own cherished commercial metropolis I also felt
required, during the session of 1t.3,52, to inter
potie the Executive perogative against a danger
uu.s expansion of our present banking system.—
I think there are few who will now doubt the
correctness of this step Had those schemes for
the expansion of paper money prevailed, the con-
sequences would have been more disastrous than
the • most sagacious could have foreseen. Our
commercial metropolis, instead of standing as she
ha, stood, impregnable against the financial storm
which has been felt so seciously in other cities
and States, might herself have fallen a victiui to

I had not 'apposed ) peisOto 111.1. commence
ment of this canvass, that it would be necessary
fur me to declare to any citizen my views in ref
erence to oar common school system. I had
cherished the belief that my career as a citizen,
as a Senator, and as Governor had given ample
evidence of my strong attachment to this. most
sacred of our institutions. As in boyhood I was
the recipient of the blessings of that system, so
in manhood shall I maintain it to the fullest ex
tent. I have resisted by the veto power, as ilk
public records show, all attempts at innovation
upon the system. Those engrafted on it by our
political apponents, when in power—the endow
ment feature and the sectarian feature—have
been stricken from the system. Nor could I ev
er sanction a division of the fund forany purpose.
Whatever means be raised for educational pur-
poses by the government, should be expended
under the school organisation. It would seem
quit' , unneceits,ry and impolitic to collect money
from the people in a public way, tole expended
under private direction. There is ample room
fur the use of private means fur the promotion of
education, without interfering with the general
system It shall be my pride and pleasure at all
time. to endeavor to perfect, extend and strength
en our common school system. Indeed, 1 anti
cipate with pleasure the day when the coffers of
the State will be able to bear the expense of a f a r
more enlarged and liberal system of education;
one which shall teach the higher branches ofsei
enee and literature, as well as the rudiments of
a common education. No higher or noble duty
could occupy the energies of a government Ed
ucation in all its phases is the great helpmeet of
civilization and Christianity. It is the most po
teut means of preventing crime; the greatest lev
erage in elevating society. It is the means of
the largest degree of individual happiness and
the highest grade of national dignity Tran
scendantly important in all countries and among
every people; but nowhere more peculiarly so
than in America Here public will directs the
policy of the government; here indeed, the very
foundation of the government rests on the stover
eigo th .ughts of the masses. How important
thee it becomes that that will should emblem
from a highly cultivated judgement. This is the
very pa:ladiuw of our liberties. It is the sheet
anchor of our republican institutions I believe
that so long as the people Inv made intelligent
by education and elevated in the scale of morali
ty by its influences, so long will our civil and re
iii ioii + be safe against internal strife or
external aggression. It is the preparation fur
the exercise' of the elective franchise , through
we are a self-governing people—by means
.4 which the voice of the humblest citizen is
equal to that of the most prominent and wealthy
—through which all enjoy equal dignity and pow
er as citizens. What statesmen can be iudiffer
ent to such a system as this? Whoever could
be, deserves not the name of American. I could
not greet him us true Pennsylvanian.
On the great moral question of prohibition,
the making and selling of intoxicating liquors,
except for particular purposes, I have but little
to say in addition to the contents of my letter to
the Temperance „Convention of June last. In
that communication I expressed the opinion that
the Legislature was possessed of constitutional
power to control and regulate the subject; but
at the same time remarked that in the exercise
of that power, a law might be passed which in
its details would be obviously unconstitutional
and unjust I said- then, as I repeat now, that
I sincerely deprecate the vice uf. intemperance,
and am prepared to sanction any proper measure
to mitigate, and as far as possible to extirpate
the vice, but I cannot be regarded as pledged to
sanction a proposed law, the details of which I
have not seen. The obligations of my oath un
der the Constitution forbids this The executive
department of the government is a co-o dinatu
and concurrent branch of the law-making power
Vested as I have been with its functions, for the
time being, I should do you injustice and dishon

They must be retained in the Executive where
the Constitution has placed them, and freely, in-

The expediency and policy of a prohibitory
law, has been by an act of the last Legislature
submitted to the judgment of the whole people.
Their sentiments for and against the measure are
to be ascertained at the ballot box, in October

their will should be carried into effect in a just,

I. believe these instruments of fundamental
law, as they are, should be maintained and just
ly admlnistered by all men in civil irothority.—
Indeed, it is diSoult to imagine how any one
sworn to administer these paramount laws, could
feel warranted in stepping over the bounds of
their distinct terms, and establishing rules of
action in direct violation to the guarantees and
immunities which they secure to every citizen.
Citizens, according to the terms of the Constitu
tion, are all alike—they are entitled to equal
protection—to equal rights—to equal immuni
ties, and no man who pretends to a just adminis
tration of the laws should attempt the high hand
ed usurpation of constituting eitizensto suit his own
caprice, and to lay down as a rule of action, that
the accident of birth should deprive an Ameri
can citizen of the enjoyment of the full immuni
ties and privileges guaranteed him by the Consti
tution A more unjustifiable idea never entered
the mind of any American statesman. I would
not say this because I believe any elms of people,
wherever born, or whatever their religious de
nomination, have a right to demand office or ho
nor, or distinction iu the civil government. The
Rewoeraey of this country never have, nor never
will recognize any such demand. But taking the
Constitution iota guide and a rule of action, they
will maintain thejustrightsofallcitizens, leaving
each to depend upon his own merits and qualifi•
cations for office, emoininepts and honor. This
I hold to be the true doctrine on this question.

to impress upon the world the peculiar benefits

great instrument, be thus disregarded? Right
minded men of all parties must respond no! No
such Immorality and political wrong should bo
permitted to tarnish t he fame of America. From
the long past days of the Revolution there is a
reminiscence that speaks in eloquent tones against
this proposed error From the shades,of Mount
Vernon—from the grave of La Fayette—from the
heights where Montgomery fell—from the once
bloody fields where l'alaski and De Kalb gave up
their lives, there comes up a solemn remoustance
against this proposed wrong. The value of office
to them is of small importance; but it is the deep
dishonor that such a violent measure would in-
filet on our country, that induces me thus to speak
It would not be the loss of civil place that would
must of liet our adopted citizens, but it would be
the humiliation of being designated as a class, of
whom it should be said, they are not to be trust
ed with civil place This is the idea that would
most wound their pride and excite their indigna
tion. There are amongst them those who in the
want of a full appreciation of our institutions
and customs, so deport themselves as to give rea
son for complaint. Bat these facts afford no
sufficient ground for violating the institutions of
the country. It is simply cowardly to acknow
ledge the danger from such a source, sad the
avowal of it is a poor compliment to the strength
of our government.
1 repeat, that I am opposed to all oath-bound
societies or associations to accomplish political
ends, and to all obligations which embarrass the
free exercise of the elective franchise; or that
may be calculated to pa juilice the sanctity of the
jury box. I deprecate as most misclaieveous those
political tenets which, in their illiberal and in
tolerant spirit, would go behind the swaddling
clothes of the infant, and pry into the consciences
of men to fix the test for civil office.
Has it ever occurred to those who have thought
lessly expounded this new doctrine, that the prac
tical application of it must be met at the very
threshhold by insurmountable difficulties. Is
this attempt to excite one class of professing Chris
tians against another a mere expedient of wiley
politicians to accomplish their own selfish ends,
or is it intended as a great radical change in the
institutions of our country? If the latter ke the
real idea, it will be perceived that the first step
must be a unity of Church and State. How else
can these new dogmas be reduced to practice?—
Their advocates must get possession of the civil
government—must change the fundamental laws
of the land, and then bring the power of the gov
ernment to bear on matters of re fts belief and
church organisation; and when one denomination
of professing Christians shall have been punished
into purity, according to the notions of this sew
power, then another, the most needing acres.
tiou, would be taken up, and so on until all reli
giona denominations would be made to accord to
a fixed standard by the taroe of law. In my
opinion by the time this SitisAextrans should have
posed all denominations in review, the Christian
spirit of the nation would be prostrated and the
infidel spirit be predominating.
Who will have the boldness to undertake a
work of this magnitude? No one, I venture to
say, of all the men, who in an evil hour have
embraced this heresy, as he found who will
assume so great a responsibility. Such an at.
tempt, could it be made, would be well adonis

con-light which has guided the political warrior
wherever struggling against the waves of oppres
sion. To the children in heathen lands, and the
Prottesants in Catholic countries, it has furnish
ed thelargeat share of their arguments and their
hopes.
But to suppose—which is simply an absurd
idea—that there be reason to apprehend en
croachments upon our civil institutions by any
class or sect of citizens, where would all good
citizens rally for protection against such an evil?
They would be found to cluster around the Con
stitution; they would gather about it like the
faithful at Mecca, and bold it up as an impassa
ble barrier to such encroachment. There I
should be, in such event, to maintain this in
strument for the benefit of all classes and all de
nominations of christians. But how idle it is
in those who pretend that there may be danger
to the civil institutions of the country, to an
nounce, as a remedy, the destruction of the
greatest safeguard which our institutions afford.
So long as the people have confidence in the par
amount law of the land and reverence its princi
ples, so long will it afford ample protection to
all; but if that instrument be overridden by the
power of combination--if it be thus demoralised
and weakened, and the confidence of the people
alienated from it, - and encroachpents should
then be attempted, there might , be came for

enough of this. I trust that I have succeeded
in making my views known to you upon this
grave subject.
I have said none of these things from preju
thee, for I am myself a Pennsylvanian by birth,
and a Protestant by religious belief, as were my
parents before me, but I have simply declared
principles which I believe are consistent with '
the best interests, the dearest rights, and high
est hope of the people of my native State.—
Nor do [ intend to speak unkindly of individual
citizens, who for any reason may have connected
themselves with the associations to which I have
been referring I can readily perceive how,
clothed with novelty and secrecy, the approach
es of such au institution would be insidious and
seductive; and how a citizen of the best inten

all such have a plain duty to perform, and that I
is, to withdraw from the order—to renew their
allegiance to the Constitution, and to assert the
dignity of free and independent voters, and vote
for whomsoever they please for political office. '
I have now, fellow citizens, 'said all that the ,
