scribing bona fide for himself, hut all wearing the
a Ipeet of bold and unblushing speculation—persons
who to.ilt an active part in the passage of the bill
in the Legislature, congregating from remote parts
of the State, and witnessing the transactions with
more intense anxiety than mere patriotism usually
produces—and the Commissioners finally compelled
to disperse hastily and close the books, without
completing the task confuted to them by the Legis
lature—it was calculated to induce us to pause; to
retrace our steps, if we have acted without due cau
tion, and to proceed only upon the clearest convic
tions of duty and of sound policy. In this condition '
do I find myself placed. I would most gladly avoid
't, but this is imposible. I will discharge my duty
its I understand it, at all hazards.
In my last annual message to the Legislature, I
adverted to the subject of selling the public improve
ments, and as what I then said still is, and has been
invariably my opinion, I beg leave to refer you to
the following paragraph, to show you that I am
assuming no new position
You will observe by a report accompanying this
message that, in pursuance of the Act of Assembly
passed for that purpose, on the 27th day of July
last, proposals were invited for the sale of the public
improvements of the Commonwealth. No bids for
the same, that can possibly be accepted, were re
ceived. This measure was suggested in toy last
annual message, believing that, in our embarrassed
condition, it was an experiment which might lie
productive of relief worth trying. It has been tried,
and has utterly failed. The truth is, the amount of
money necessary for the purchase of any consider.
ble portion of our improvements, is far greater than
any citizens of our country are able to raise for that
purpose. Were they to be sold at all, they would
necessarily, either directly or indirectly, fall into the
kinds of foreign capitalists. The people must in a
great measure lose the control mid management, and
they would necessarily become private monopolies.
This would seem to be a measure as dangerous to'
the public interest, as it would be humiliating to the
public pride."
Whether this view of the subject is erroneous or
true, I cheerfully submitted to the representatives of
the people to decide. I have no doubt about i.
myself.
The income from the line of improvements, this
year, will very considerably exceed that of lastyear.
During the first two months of the business season,
under great disadvantages, it is upwards of thirty
thousand dollars beyond the corresponding months
of last year. 'lids is surely no cause for despon
ding, but for confidence and hope in the future
value of these improvements.
At all events, if they are to be sold or disposed of,
let it be on the most advantageous terms to the State.
If instead of confining the Commissioners to taking
subscrptions of stock on the terms mentioned, they
were allowed to sell the stock at public auction to
the highest and best bidders, in amounts to suit
purchasers, an advance would probably be realized
beyond the simple subscription. Had this power
been given to the Commissioners to procure sub
scriptions to the Delaware Canal stock, much of the
difficulty encountered would have been obviated,
however ill it would have suited the wishes of those
who seem to have had a denim to monopolize the
subscriptions. The power can be added hereafter,
if you deem it advisable to transfer the public im
provements to public companies. The whole mat
ter is submitted to you. It seems to me proper to
correct a mistaken opinion, which prevails to a great
extent in regard to the immediate operation of this
measure. It is taken for granted that to dispose of
sixteen or more millions of the public debt, will at once
relieve the people from the burden of taxation under
which they now labor. This is not so. After de
ducting $17,500,000, the amount contemplated by
the sale of the Delaware Division, and the Main
Line, the balance of the funded debt of the Common
wealth would he about $23,000,000
To which add the other debts,
amounting to about
Making an aggregate of
The interest semi-annually accruing on which,
must be provided for exclusively by taxation ; for
the tolls on the remaining portions of the canal will
lull more than defray the repairs and incidental ex
penses. The prospect of the immediate relief which
is to grow out of this measure, is therefore by no
means so encouraging as has been generally sup
p med.
I deem it right to remark thatl ordered this mes
sage to be filed at an early period, in the office of
the Secretary of the Commonwealth, for the double
purpose of settling in the public mind the course I
have thought proper to pursue on this subject, and
also to give the people timely notice of the most '
interesting question that will probably come before
the next Legislature, so that they can, if they see fit,
e.e!ect their representatives with reference to its final
disposition. Under any circumstances, a subject of
such magnitude as this, ought not to be absolutely
determined by a single Legislature.
You will therefore take such action in relation to
this subject, as you in your wisdom may think the
best intests of the people require.

The fool or knave who wrote the above and sent
it to us, together with the paper spoken of, did not
venture to sign his own or any other name to it.
Neither does it bear date or post mark. It must,
however, have been the work of a Postmaster, as no
other person could lawfully have had access to the
paper.
A few weeks ago, a paper addressed to "A.

following written on its margin
"Refused 49th time, P. L. D. Will the Editor
please discontinue this paper."
The rules of the Post Office Department require
the respective Postmasters to inform publishers of
newspapers of the fact whenever any papers sent to
their offices are refused by the persons to whom they
are sent. After a paper was sent to the Philadelphia
post office for nearly a year, then the first notice
was given to the editor that it had been refused for
the 49th time. We shall charge 48 numbers (f

Washington County.
The U. S. Gazette says the Hon. Thomas - M. T.
Washington county, and the State at large, has
been honored by the Congressional labors of Mr.
McKennon. No man in Congress commanded
more respect than he—no man labored more in
cessantly ; and Pennsylvania, and the country, lose
by his absence from the councils of the nation.
Mr. McKennon would make an excellent-Gover

It is probable that Mr. Ewing, of Washington
county, will be nominated by the Whigs to succeed
Mr. McKennon. The Locos will probably take
Mr. Leet.
The Circuit Court of the United States, for

There are now at Nouvoo, the Mormon city, be

On Friday week the placards for the Tremont

" expunged," in order that the building tftltht be
devoted to better uses. The occasion was selected
by the Manager for the benefit, and very appropri
ately the play was " The Poor Gentleman." At
the close of the performance all the players appeared
upon the stage in citizens' dress, and sung a dirge
for the departing glories of the drama, and especially
the Tremont Theatre. That done, the curtain fell
to rise no more upon the mimic scene. And al
though we can readily believe that the grief of the
players at parting from the spot where they had
won and enjoyed their little triumph was sincere,
yet few who rightly regard the influence of the stage
upon the public morals, will, we think, stop to drop
a tear for the fallen, but rather hail its abasement as
a cause of congratulation.
The Mandamus Case,
The Pennsylvania Telegraph of last week says:
The case of the Mandamus against the Canal Com.
missioners came up before the Supreme Court yes
terday, agreeabif to postponement, and was opened
by Mr. Stevens 3n the part of the relators, who was
followed by Mr. Watts for the respondents. The
argument was closed this morning by Mr. Meredith
for the relators. The speeches were such as were
expected from the eminent counsel. The decision
of the court is not expected for several days.
The E. S. Gazette of Saturday last says :—ln

When, in the course of human events, it becomes
necessary for one people to dissolve the political
bonds which have connected them with another,
and to assume, among the powers of the cards, the
separate and equal station to which the laws of na
ture and of nature's God entitle them, a decent re
spect to the opinions of mankind requires that they
should declare the causes which impel them to the
separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all
men are created equal, that they are endowed by
their Creator with certain unalienable rights ; that
among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of hap
piness. That to see ere these rights, governments
are instituted among men, deriving their just pow
ers from the consent of the governed : that when
ever any form of government becomes destructive
of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or
to abolish it, and to institute a new government,
laying its foundation upon such principles, and or
ganizing its powers in such a form, as to them shall
seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness.
Prudence, indeed, will dictate that governments long
established should not be changed for light and
transient causes; and accordingly, all experience
hath shown, that mankind are snore disposed to
suffer, which evils are sufferable, than to right them
selves by abolishing the forms to which they are
accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and
usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object,
evinces a design to reduce them under absolute des..
potism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off
such government, and to provide new guards for
their future security. Such has been the patient
sufferance of these colonies ; and such is now the
necessity which constrains them to alter their former
systems of government. The history of the pre
sent King of Great Britain, is a history of repeated
injuries and usurpations, all having, its direct object,
else establishment of an absolute tyranny over these
States. To prove this, let facts be submitted to a
candid world.
He has refused his assent to laws the most whole
some and necessary for the public good.
He has forbidden his governors to pass laws of
immediate and pressing importance, unless suspen
ded in their operation, till his assent should be ob
tained; and when so suspended, he has utterly
neglected to attend to them. He has refused to pass
other laws for the accommodation of large districts
of people, unless those people would relinquish the
right of representation in the legislature, a right in
estimable to them, and formidable to tyrants only.
Ho has called together legislative bodies at places
unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the repos
itory of their public reccltds, for the sole puipese of
fatiguing them into compliance with his measures.
Ho has dissolved representative houses repeated
ly, for opposing, with manly firmness, his invasions
on the rights of the people.
lie has refused, for a long time after such disso-
lotions, to cause others to be elected; whereby the
legislative powers incapable of annihilation, have
returned to the people at large, fur their exercise, the
state remaining, in the mein time, exposed to all the
dangers of invasion from without, and convulsions
will iu.
lie has endeavored to prevent the population of
these states; for that purpose obstructing the laws
for naturalization of foreigners ; refusing to pass
others to encourage their migration, hither, and rais
ing the conditions of new appropriations of land.
He has obstructed the administration of Justice,
by refusing his assent to laws for establishing judi
ciary powers.
Ho has made judges dependent on Isis will alone,
for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and
payment of their salaries.
He has erected a multitude of new officers, and
sent hither swarms of offices, to harrass our people,
and cat out their substance.
He has kept among us, in times of peace, stand
ing armies, without the consent of our legislatures.
He has allbcted to render the military indepen
dent of, and superior to, the civil power.
He has combined with others to subject us to a
jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unac
knowledged by our laws; giving his assent to their
acts of pretended legislation.
For quartering large bodies of armed troops
among us:
. . . .
For protecting them, by a mock trial, from pun
ishment, for any murders which they should commit
on the inhabitants of these states:
For cutting off our trade with all parts of the
world:
For imposing taxes on us without our consent:
For depriving us, in many cases, of the benefits
of trial by jury :
For transporting us beyond seas, to be tried for
pretended offences:
For abolishing the free system of English laws
in is neighboring province, establishing therein on
arbitrary government, and enlarging its boundaries,
so as to render it at once en example and fit instru
ment for introducing the same absolute rule into
these colonies:
For taking away our charters, abolishing our
most valuable laws, and altering fundamentally the
forms of our governments: . . .
For suspending our own legislatures, and declar
ing themselves invested with power to legislate
for us in all cases whatsoever.
He has abdicated government here, by declaring I
us out of his protection, and waging war against us.
Ho has plundered our seas, ravaged our coasts,
burnt our towns, destroyed the lives of our people.
He is at this time transporting large armies of
foreign mercenaries, to complete the works of death,
desolation, and tyranny already begun, 4ith circum
stances of cruelty and perfidy, scarcely paralleled
in the most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy
the head of a civilized nation.
He has constrained our fellow-citizens, taken cap
tive on the high seas, to bear arms against their
country, to become the executioners of their own
friends and brethren, or to fall themselves by their
hands.
He has excited domestic insurrections among
us, and he has endeavored to bring on the inhabi
tants of our frontiers, the merciless Indian savages,
whose known rule of warfare is an undistinguished
destruction of all ages, sexes, and conditions.
In every stage of these oppressions, we have
petitioned for redress in the most humble terms ; our
repeated petitions have been answered only by re
peated injury.
A prince, whose diameter is thus marked by
every act which may define a tyrant, is unfit to be
the ruler of a free people.
Nor have we been wanting in attention to our
British brethren. We have warned them from
time to time, of attempts by their legislature to ex
tend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us. We
have reminded them of the circumstances of our
emigration and settlement here. We have appeal
ed to their native justice and magnanimity, and we
have conjured them, by the ties of our common
kindred, to disavow these usurpations, which would
inevitably interrupt our connexions and correspon
d-nee. They too have been deaf to the voice of
justice and consanguinity. We must, therefore,
acquiescein the necessity which denounces our sep
aration, and hold them, as we hold the rest of man
kind, enemies in war, in pram friends.
We, therefore, the representatives of the United
States of America, in general Congress assembled,
appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world, for
the rectitude of our intentions, do in the name and
by the authority of the good people of these colonies,
solemnly publish and declare, that these United
Colonies are, and of right ought to be, free and in
dependent states; and they are absolved from all
allegiance to the British crown, and that all political
connexion between them and the state of Great
Britain, is, and ought to be, totally dissolved ; and
that, as free and independent states, they have full
power to levy war, declare peace, contract alliances,
establish commerce, and to do all other acts and
things which independent states may of right do.--
And for the support of this declaration, with a firm
reliance on the protection of Divine Providence,
wo mutually pledge to each other our lives, our
fortunes, and our sacred honors.
