gnised. No considerntious of public interods;
which r have been able to discover, would
seem' to demand this policy. Nothing, in my opidion, is gained by it in economy, efficiency
or skill in the construction of vessels. The
materials (or this work can he as conveniently
and cheaply procured at Philadelphia as at
say other point in the country, and her me•
chanies stand as high as soy others in point of
skill and effi i
ciency n all the branches of this
business, and pre.eminent in the construction
of steam machinery. I feel Justified, therefore,
in entertaining the hope that a more equal dis
tribution of 'patronage shall hereafter distin
guish the notion of the department at Washing.
ton.
The consolidation of the city and county of
Philadelphia into one municipal government,
is a subject that will be pressed upon- your
consideration during the present session.—
Without desiring to express an opinion on the
policy of the measure; Pretty say, that I regard
it as involving vast considerations connected
with the welfare of 'our metropolis, and cense
ouently to the State at large, and as such it
should, as I bane no doubt it will, command
prompt and anxious considerntion.
I have long believed that the loans of the
State should be consolidated into three or four
classes, and he under the direct control of the
treasury department at Harrisburg: The books
are now kept nt the Bank of Pennsylvania,
where the loans are transferred, re-issued and
cot up into any shape to suit the wishes of the
holder; for which service that institution is
claiming heavy yearly compensation. There
would be no difficulty whatever, I am c'onfident,
in, exchanging new coupon bonds for the err
tificates of. loan now outstanding, without any
average extension of the maturity of the loans,
at a cost of a few thousand dollars. Indeed,
on this point I am entirely certain the exchange
can be•made a source of profit to the State
above all expenses. This accomplished, and
the interest can be paid at the Treasury, and
the whole business of that department rendered
the more simple and safe.
The financial year commences and closes
on the last day of November, and the appropri
ation and school year on the first of Jane•—
Tlte effect of this arrangement is to beget con
fusion in the testiness of the several depart.
meats of Government. Indeed, so completely
is this the case, that it is quite impossible for
n person not familiar with the subject to com-
Flrehend their operation. I suggest the pro
priety of commencing the fiscal year for all
purposes on the first of December. This would
bring the Canal, Treasury, School and 4uditing
Departments into harmonious action, and ren
der their operations concurrent and simple.
I have never felt willing to see our funda
mental law changed for light or doubtful Tea.
1101113,but I sincerely believe that when the
proper time arrives it will be wise so to amend
the Constitution an to require that each law
shall be passed in a separate bill, and receive
not less than a majority of votes of each House
on a mill of the yens and nays; to provide that
all laws of is public nature shall be 'general in
their character and apply to the entire State;
that municipal corporations, vested with all
the power the Legislature could confer, should
not have the right to become subscribers to or
'holders of the stock of other corporations; to
interdict the creation of debt for imy purpose
except war; to unite some other functionary
with the Governor in the exercise of the par
doning power.
In complionee with the provisions of the
15th section of the last general nppropriation
Jaw, directing the Governor to "sell and con
vey • 'the State arsenal property in Juniper
street, in the city of Philadelphia;' condition
ed that the sum of thirty thousand dollars
should be obtained fur the same, I caused no
tice to be given, throcgh time press, that sealed
proposals would be received ,'cr the same, and
miming the minimum price and terms of sale.
The highest and only bid received was that of
the Pennsylvania railroad company, earning
the sum of thirty thousand dollars. There be
ing no other bidder, the property was accord
ingly conveyed to that company.
The purchase of another suitable lot and the
erection of a new building, presented a service
of greater difficulty, the law restraining the
entire cost to the price obtained for the old
property. I deemed it proper that military
gentlemen of Philadelphia should be consulted,
as to the location of the new building. The
general wish appeared to lie the selection of a
central site, and at the same time the erection
of a building of greater dimensions and cost
than the act seemed to contemplate. Beeent.
Iv. however, negotiations have been started for
t'he purchase of a lot of ground, which it is be
lieved will answer the purpose, and give gener
al satisfaction as to location.
The Attorney General, as required by an
Act approved the 19th of April last, has made
diligent efforts to close the claims of the Com
monwealth against defaulting agents and pub
lic officers. The result of his labors will be
communicated to you at an early day.
In accordance with the 35th section of the
appropriation law of last session, I appointed
George Blattenberger, Esq., to superintend the
removal of certain obstructions out of the "raft
channel in the Susquehanna river, at Bruba
ker's island." He has caused the work to be
completed in a satisfactory manner, at a cost
of $241 50, leaving $lO2 50, of the appropria
tion unexpended, In the treasury.
I deem it proper to remark in this cornice
lion, that there are obstacles in the way of de
scending navigation at various points in that
stream, the removal of which, by the State,
would be but an net of justice to those interest
ed in the navigation, in view of what they have
suffered .in personal comfort and pecuniary
profit, as a consequence of the construction of
the public works.
The numerous accidents that have occurred
on the railroads of the country during the past
season—the consequent destruction of human
life and property; the difficulties that have sur
rounded all efforts to trace these casualties to
their true cause, and to impose on the delin.
quoits just responsibilities, have suggested the
necessity for snore specific laws on the subject:
and I respectfully recommend the measure to
your favorable notice. It is believed that. much
could be accomplished for the security of rail
road travel, by additional precautionary meas
ures in the direction of passenger trains. Our
State, it Is true, has not been the scene of so
many of these disasters as some others; but
this may not be the case when speed shall be
greatly increased, as is contemplated by some
of our railroad companies.
Whatever relates to the cause of education
—to the moral and social condition of the peo
ple or to the amelioration of human sufTertng,
should command deliberate consideration. All
our educational, benevolent, charitable and re
formatory institutions are, therefore, commend.
ed to your special care.
The State Lunatic Asylum, situate within a
mile of the capitol, is now in successful opera
tion and in a most flourishing condition, reali
zing to the fullest extent the sanguine exp.-
tattoos of its amiable and benevolent founder;
and it is but just to its accomplished superin.
tendent to say, that Miss Dix regards its pre.

ly proper and skilful. Upon this institution
the State has already bestowed the su:n of
$200,499, and a small sum may still be requi.
red to place it in a condition of perfect self-re
liance.
By the act of April 7,1833, was incorporated
the "Pennsylvania training school for idiotic
and feeble-mindod children." To this humane
anti benevolent purpose the Legislature, with
the liberality which has ever distinguished the
State, since the time of her illustrious and pure
minded founder, has extended a helping hand.
The object of this institution is to discover hu
manity in its lowest condition of mental end
physical weakness and deformity, and elevate
ut to the dignity of intelligence, order and use.

founders have merited the thank of the aria.

My attention has Imes called to the condi
tion of the State Library by the officer having
charge of it at this time. It is alleged, with
evident reason end truth, that the rooms now
in use are too small for the purpose; that mommy
of the books ere stowed away in boxes, and al
so
that the laws providing for their security and
imposing responsibilities on the Librarian, are
quite insufficient. This highly interesting and
useful institution will doubtless receive your
special care.
It is proper that I should make known to
you the progress that has been made on the
subject of the erection of a monument nt hide.
pendenee hall, in Philadelphia, commemora
tive of the Declaration of Independenee.
In October, 1852, the councils of Philamlel.
phin, by unanimous consent, passed an (mil
nonce eledienting the necessary ground in Tn.
dependence Square, to this patriotic and na
tional purpose, and proposing to give posses
sion of the premises to the representatives of
nine or more of the original States.
By an net of the Legislature of February
last. confirming this ordinance of the councils,
the Governor wan authorized to appoint a trus
tee to act in conjunction with the trustees of
the other States, in the erection of the monu
ment, I accordingly appointed Albert Cl. Wat
erman, Esq., of Philadelphia, the trustee on
behalf of Pennsylvania.
The States of New York, New Hampshire
and Connecticut have adopted laws similar to
that of this State, and trustees have been ap
pointed in each. Under the terms of these
laws, no action can be taken by the trustees,
until at least nine of the thirteen original
Statics shall hare signified their willingness to
participate in the enterprise. There are still
four States wanting, and with them the issue
meat rest for the present.
I ant unwilling to believe that an object so
entirely proper in itself—so congenial to the
feelings of the American nation—so significant
in its historic and moral bearing•. ,to touch
ingly interesting to every American heart, can
even be long delayed, meth less defeated. It.
wan the magic power of the Declarntion of In
dependence which bound together thirteen
sparsely populated, tan-ridden and oppressed
colonies, and erected them into on independent
nation. By it was first proclaimed to the world
rho equality of all men, and their rapacity for,
and right of seli:gorernment. Under th e aus
pices of this great instrument our liberties were
achieved, and the thirteen feeble colonies, act
ing on its benign principles, and guided • at ev
ery step by an over-ruling Providence, have
grown into thirty-one sovereign States--.all
teeming with the elements of national wealth
prosperous and progressive—men here of
one vest confederacy. whose boundaries are
marked by the Atlantic and Pacific, and en
jiving, a commerce coextensive with the civil
iced world. Honored. feared, and patronized
by all nations; already sustaining a repel:Ainn
of twenty-five millions of inhabitants, rejoicing
in the blessings of civil and religious liberty,
and in a high degree of moral and social hap
piness. And shall see not have a monument
to perpetuate the events from which these men.
'fold blessings have sprung? Some imperish
able memorial of our gratitude—en everlasting
witness of the great things done among and
for us—some visible sign to perpetuate the
memory of the Declaration of Indepebdenee—
the Revolution—the heroes who participated in
the mighty struggle—and the Constitution Clint
crowned and defined the privileges so nobly
achieved. If these deserve not a monninent,
then nll others have been erected in vain.
A structure commensurate with the moral
grandeur of the event, its world-wide cense•
quences, is not contemplated; but what can he
and should he accomplished. is the erection of
a structure after the plan indicated by the com
mittee—a beautiful rind evenendurinz embod
iment of the Nation's gratitude to the authors
of the Declaration; an imperishable personifi
cation of our fidelity to its principles, and their
natural offspring, the Constitution and the
Union.
The location of this political Mecca will be
most fortunate. Central to the original States
—eligible to the younger members of the con.
federney, and planted on the soil or the old
Keystone, who never has, nod by the blessing
of God, never will, falter in her fidelity to the
national compact, to all its firms and condi
tions—ns in times past, so will she in future,
should the occasion nnbappily arise, frown no
on the first dawn of discontent neainst the in
tegrity of the Union, come whence it mnv. or
by whomsoever instigated. The weight of her
vast, moral and political power, I firmly be
lieve, will he wielded to resist the tide of dis
sension and dissolution, end to keep the politi
cal atmosphere around the monument, when
erected, purely notional.
The pipsent is also nn auspicious time for
this work of national fellowship. The compro
mise measures, recently adnoted, and sanctified
by the approval of Clay. of King, and of Web
ster, have quieted the elements of national dis
cord; and to prolong this pence and quiet, it is
but necessary to maintnin these measures and
the requirements of the Constitntiem to dis
countenance in future the agitation of questions
settled by the federal compact, and disdain the
netions of those who would hazard the peace
of the country to gratify prejudice, or to accom
plish the ends of personal ambition.

The Gasometer.
During the Whig meeting last night,
which was called for the purpose of ap
pointing Senatorial conferees, Mr. Bene
dict, wo learn (not being present ourself
on account of indisposition,) took occasion
to attack us personally, and the course
the Journal has pursued since the open
ing of the last campaign.
Now does this gentlman not know that we
don't care what he says about us—that the
Whigs of Huntigdott County have got to
perfectly understand him ! If he is not
satisfied of this by this time, we think he
is indeed very dull of apprehension. As to
the course the Journal has pursued, our
renders know what it has been just about
as well Mr. Benedict does. There was no
occasion for his getting up in a Whig moot
ing and endeavoring to impress the minds
of those present with things which he him
self does not believe. He knows, as well
as wo do, that the course the Journal has
pursued, has been nobly and manfully sus
tained by the party, and the spirit of per-
Sone! revenge, which he cherishes towards
us, cannot change it either. The Whigs
of Huntingdun county, we feel confident,
aro with us and will stand by us as long as
wo pursue the course we have thus far.--
When we cease to defend and advocate
those principles and measures which bind
us together as a party.—when wo once
trample under our feet the motto which
floats at our mast head—and when we re
fuse to labor for the general interests and
welfare of the whole Whig party then,
and not till then, should a man like Mr.
Benedict, who has not been acting regu
larly with the party for the last two years,
get up, cut of purely revengeful motives,
and attack the course of the Huntingdon
Journal. This gentleman need not en
deavor to make the Whigs of Huntingdon
County believe what he alleges, because
they know very well that what he says is
false. Does lie suppose that people can't
read as well as ho can? And does he not
know that the Whigs aro just as familiar
with our course as he is ! Mr. Benedict
can't accomplish what he wishes, and he
need nut try it. If lie deceived them
once, he can't do it again. We challenge
him, or any other man, living, to show
wherein the JoUrnal's course has not been
consistent with the policy and principles of
the party. Let hint come forward !hie a
man and do so, and not sneak out of it like
a contemptible, guilty hound. But we
have said more than we intended when we
co»unenced, for the subject is unworthy of
