I cannot sign this bill for the following
reasons: Because,
Ist. Its main feature is the distribution
-au great portion of the present resources
of the Commonwealth, among works not
owned by the State, and its consequent
withdrawal from the future prosecution of
the public works, and from the present de
crease of the State debt.
2nd. It bestows on capitalists and specu
lators, the money which is the property o
the Whole people, thereby enriching Ind'
v41'11 1 1. 3 and sections, to the injury of the rcs
of the community.
$400,000
400,000
:34. It not only thus fritters away the means
which should now be otherwise applied, but,
by enabling 4he companies who are the re.
cipietits (lilts liberality, to commence and
prOsccute works which they will not be able
to complete, it embarks the State so far in
those works, hat she will, at no distant day,
be compelled to increase her present debt
for the purpose of finishing them,or lose what
is now proposed to be given.
4th. It will inevitably increase the State
debt, in four years to s4' 4 J 1 3,000, as will
appear by the following short statement:
The grie Extension of the main
line will cost, $3,000,000

The company works commenced by this
bill, will cost as follows:

Hollidaysburg Railroad, 2,500,000

Total to complete compa
ny works, $9,090,000
Of this fait sum, before the dif
ferent works are completed,
the State will,beyond a doubt
be compelled to advance not
less than one halfor else lose

To which add the above cost of

bill will produce, $20,790,000

12,000
Total debt which will exist
when the system con.
templaied by this bill •
is completed, 8415,120,000
It is presumed that the above estimates,if
they should vary from.rite actual cost of the
works, will be foiled to fall below rather
than exceed it. ,!they are all derived from
the reports of ,Engineers, which are found
in most easelto be far short of the ultimate
expense y 4r from a comparison with the
knowycost of similar works.
itjF should be objected to this calcula.
itan, that part of the above cost of State
works has either been already incurred, or
Is
, provided • for in this bill, and therefore
should not be included—the reply is, that
the portion already laid out will not, in all
probability, be equal to one fourth of the a.
mount which their actual expense will ex•
need their estimated cost; and that the pro.
portion provided for by this bill, is borrowed
_money—or at least such as the State may,
before Jong, be called on to repay. It may
therefore he fairly assumed, as a calculation
within bounds ' that the passage of this bill
will cause an addition --a twenty-one millions
of dollars, to our piesent debt of about
twenty.four millions—making a gross debt,
, at a date no more remote than 1841, of
FORTY-FIVE - MILLIONS. I am not

.stb. If this bill, and the other proposed
measures of the egislature become laws,
the State will be left without a single dollar
of unappropriated money in her treasury, at
the commencement of the -next session.—
Though the list Legislature replenished the
public coffers, with near four millions, and
the present has received a like sum—your
successors will, nevertheless, be compelled
either to abandon the prosecution of the
; public works or to borrow money to carry
them on,and pay interest on the debt. No
aid is to be calculated on from the national
Treasury. On the contrary, care should
be taken to keep the State in a condition
to meet any demands for . payment which
may be made on her froiTthat quarter.
Ath. It seems In be a total departure
from our true policy. That policy is to
husband our means for the pres'ent, and,
while we push on our unproductive public
works with all prudent speed, to a state of
profitable completion, to apply the balance
to the reduction of the State debt. If thi+
course be pursued, only for Iwo years, the
expenditure of the Commonwealth will be
broil:At so fir within her income, that al
terwarcha the mete excess of her receipts
will enable her to undertake and complete,
without embarrassment, works of any mag
nitude. But if, on the other hand, the in-
come, however large, is constantly kept be-
low the amount of expenditure—ber appa
rent riches will only increase her real diffi
culties. •

Its passage will have a most discs•
trolls effect on our present undertakings.—
In consequence of the rise in the price of
labor and provisions within the last two
years,and of the amount of worlccommenc
ed in other states, the expense of - construct.
ing public improvements has increased fel.
ly 50 per cent. If the present bill pass, the
large amount of work authorized by it, will
have an additional effect of the same kind,
and will cause every contract in the Com-
Monwealth to be thrown up, and re•let at an
advance of not less than 50 per cent over
the prices of last year. l'his is a grave
consideration. it must be borne in mind,
that while the amount of public burthen
increased by.fhis kind of Legislation,the a
mount of means'to sustain it remains the
same; and that a million of debt must be
paid with a million of dollars, whether that
debt is due fin the construction of sixty miles
of canal, or twenty.
Bth. Not only will its consequences be
injurious to the finances, but to the morals
of the State. The bare probability of the
passage of the bill has alreaey unsettled
the conduct of whole sections of the State,
and has given a new stimulus to the over
excited spirit of speculation. If this state
of things be fom ented
. and continued, there
is no limit to the injury which may result.
While the gambling spirit of speculation is
confined to the large towns, society may
bear it without material detriment; but
it once infect and derange the productive
industry of the country, the public prosperi
ty will be shattered in its very elements. If
the 'mania which now rages among those
who speculate in the surplus property of the
country, once seize those who alone render
property valuable, there is an end to all hope
of continued prosperity. fear that such
will be the tendency of the Legislation pro
posed by the present bill. A few persons
fortunately located or circumstanced, will
be unduly and immensely bonefitted. The
Mass will either become dissatisfied, or em
bark in the vain attempt to achieve like
good fortune. While all are thus engaged
murmuring or hoping at the lottery door of
fortune, the plough of industry will stand
•
idle in the furrow.
9th. Its signature would be a violation o
every principle and pledge connected with
the financial aflairs of the Commonwealth,
upon the faith of which the administration
was entrusted to my discretion by the citi
zens of Pennsylvania. At is admitted that
the measures of government should vary
with the necessities of the times, always
keeping the great land-marks of right , in
view. But when, as in the present case,
no change of circumstances takes place
sufficient to render a change of practice
necessary, the promises and pledges, both
expressed and implied of a public agent,
whether made by himself or his friends,
should be kept with the tame good faith as
those of a private citizen.
Two of the objects contended for by those
who selected me to administer the executive
functions of the government, were, the de
crease of the state debt, and the vigorous
prosecution and early completion of the
public works of the Commonwealth. Both
will either be defeated or retarded by the
present bill if it become a law.
When such a state of Things is produced,
the path of duty is plain. Although the ve
to power should be cautiously used when
no constitutional scruples exist, yet cases
like the present, of mere pecuniary exPe
diency, will arise, affecting so deeply the
paramount interests of the state, as impera
tively to demand its exercise. If my feais
are correct as to the great increase of the
state debt, of which this bill, if passed, will
be the parent. i should feel it to be an aban
donment of duty to the people. were I to
omit any constitutional means to. arrest it.
Our enormous public debt must have a ten
dency to retard the increase of our popula
tion and productive industry,. if not to di
minish them. Althnugh such debt is not
in form a judgment upon the property of the
people, yet in effect it is an absolute lien.—
The faith and the propriety of the Com-
monwealth, and of every citizen in it, are
pledged for its redemption. It is obvious
that the lands of a community incunibered
with a line offifty organ hundred millions of
dollars, are worth less than the unincum
bored prorierty.of other states.. Hence, if
the amount of debt be increased beyond the
common advantages to be derived from the
undertakings that produced it, it is plain
that prudent men will be . unwilling to pur•
chase and hold property which must remain
subject to its repayment. Such incum
bronco must finally and unav&dably rest
apou the most ineritorions class of people—
the farmers and mechanics. Capitalists
&Mimi* .may moil'''. withdraw their trap.
stierfMetans from our jurisdiction, when
'the. day or taxation shall
,arrive; but the
lande and buildings of the mechanic; manu
facture' r and farmer, admit of 'no removal.
They must ender/ . the whoti;burthens
which hasty legislation, may impose upon
the community,
if this bill is intended as a distribution of
our portion of the surplus..revenue among
the people. it seenilido me to be unequal and
unjust. The sums appropriated .to the dif
ferent parts of tho state hear no.:proportion
to their population or taxable properly.—.
But if it should become) necessary to re
turn this deposite to the general government,
tt must be raised by taxation upon all with
out exception. And yet an equitable ap
plication of it May be made for the equal
benefit of every citizen of the Common
wealth, without an actual distribution n•
mong the taxable citizens, If appropria
ted to those works of internal improvement ,
which the mate lour already authorized and
pledged her faith to complete; or if applied
to the redaction of the state debt already
contracted, or set apart for common school
purposes, every citizen would have'a direct
interest in. and derive immediate advantage
from it. But no such equality is contem
plated by the provisions of this bill.
I regret exceedingly that many valuable
previsions are connected with the objection.
able portions of the hill, in such a manner
as to impose Upon me the necessity of re
turning the whole. The appropriations to
the Commonwealth's canals and Rail.roa - da,
and to some of the turnpikes, if they stand
alone, would he most willingly approved;
but., accompanied as they are, it is impossi.
hie. Permit me once more respectfully to
remark, that this practice of combining in
the same bill subjects distinct and similar in
their nature mail merits, is extremely em
barrassing to the Executive, and highly in
jurious to the public interests.
There is a glorious future of prosperity
before us, if we do not prevent its arrival
by embarrassing the present. The times
are unpropitious fir speculation, either by
individuals or 'states. The project u ider
consideration is a risk of this kind. It is
the hazarding of money which should be
otherwise applied, on the mere contingen
cy of the continuance of the present slate
of trade and commerce, at a moment when
every mail brines fearful proof of the insta
bility of both. It is the adventuring of all
the means of the Commonwealth, on the
bare hope that the same fortunate circum
stances which so recently filled her Treaiu.
ry, will again occur. it concerns us near
ly to consider all the chances of such an
event, before we place the state completely
at its mercy. To my mind they appear
very slender. But even if they were much
stronger, we should not depend on extrane
ous and occasional aid. Our res.)urces are
at home—in our citizens—in our charac.
tor—in our mountains, and in our valleys.
Let us not be tempted beyond our steady
pace to prosperity by accidental circum
stances, our retarded by their failure.—
WMe the credit of the state is made to de.
pend solely oat the prudent and punctual
management of her affairs, and her wealth
flows from her own inexhaustible and un.
borrowed resources, no outward changes
can materially affect her.
With these objections, I hasten to return
the bill, that the legislature may have time
to re-consider it; and, 'lithe opinions herein
expressed should be approved. may be en•
abled immediately to provide liberally for
the prosecution of works which all agree to
be proper and necessary. In such a moo
sure it will afford me great pleasure to con
cur. Should it, however, pass,,by the con
stitutional power of the legislature alone, I
mostisincerely hope that the evils that have
been predicted may not be realized. In
that event I shall participate in the com
mon joy at its good effects, and will be grat
ified that - the superior intelligence of the
legislature foresaw certain benefit
,where
my fears beheld only impending danger.

the use of his valuable improvement in mak

Spring-seat
SADDLES.
Notwithstanding the prejudices against
these Saddles heretofore, he feels justifiable
in saying, that he hopes to gain the confi
dence and patrobage of the public—as he is
enabled, on the present principle, to ensure
all his saddles without any extra charge.--
That a soft, easy saddle is desirable to all
persons who ride much, and particularly to
those who may not be favored with a very
pleasant horse; I presume all persons will
unhesitatingly patronize the spring saddles,
when they will be ensured as long as the
purchaser may deem necessary.
The elasticity oldie Saddle acting in har
mony with the symetry of the horse and
rider, not only affords ease to the man, but
incalculable advantage to the horse. All
persons of judgment and experience must
know, that a dead, unelastic weight on a
hors, is oppressive. The Spring in the
Girth affords the following advantages: Ist
Moving or yielding with, the horse's chest in
breathing, no cramps or cholics or any dis
ease can rise therefrom. 2cr.The girth will
outlast two or three or the common kind,
because the yielding uf the spring on the sud
den expansion oldie chest prevents the girth
from breaking, and saves the rider from Fall
ing; many fulls have keen the fruits of break
ing girths.
GENTLEMEN and LA DIES are invt
led to apply, as the little difference in the
cost of these and the hard Saddles is so tri
fling, and incomparable with the difference
in comfort and safety.
N. B. Saddlers in the country can be
accommodated with Township or Shop
Rights at a trifling cost.
