GOVERNOR'S MESSAGE, IN RELATION TO THE PERMANENT LOAN, dec. To the Senate and House of Representatives of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. GErrneaterr :—ln pursuance of the act of the general assembly of this common wealth passed the 26th January last, ente tied "an act authorizing a loan" public no lice was given by the Secretary of the com monwealth on the 4th day of February last, that proposals would be received at his of fice until two o'clock PM., of Tuesday the fifth day of March 1839, for loaning one million two hundred thousand dollars to the commonwealth for the purposes set forth in said act, reimbursable at any time after twenty years from tho first day of July next, and bearing an interest not exceedfng five per cent per annum, payable semi-annually. A copy of which notice is herewith corn- municated, 1 regret to say that no proposals have been received in pursuance of this invitation, and this too at a time when, it is conceded that money is not scarce, and the credit of the State is unimpaired. How long the representatives of a free people will submit to a state of things mai festly brought about by a combination a mong the institutions of their own creation, it is for the legislature to determine, but there is certainly a manifest impropriety of permitting the monied resource of the com monwealth to be used to her own injury. She owns of the capital stock of the bank of Pennsylvania 3750 shares at $4OO, amount at their par value to 81,5000,000 52:33 shares in the Philadelphia Bank at $lOO 1708 shares in the Farmers and Mechanics bank at $5O 1 Amounting in the whole to 82,108,700 And which are believed to be worth a considerable advance. Every day's expe rience strengthens me in the opinion long since formed that all connections should b e e dissolved between the commonwealth and the banks in which she holds stock; and thus relieve her from the humiliating atti tudes she occupies et being the holder of three fifths of the whole capital stock in one of said banks and unable to control the direction of a singe dollar of its loans. Be having firmly that such a divorce will be beneficial to the interests of the common wealth, I earnestly recommend the imme diate passage of a law authorizing the sale of the bank stock held by the commonwealth as aforesaid. This 'administration has been but, little over a month in power, and has been'obliged to ask loans to pay off engagements "Alai it had no hands in contracting, and finds itself embarrassed in its out set for want of means to meet the engagements of the con). rnonwealth. So far as it has the ability,its exertions will continue to be steadily direct ed to discharge the public liabilities, and maintain unsullied the public faith. In its effort so to do; difficulties are interposed by attempts at combination among monied men and monied institutions, they most assured ly will discover, that so long as the executive power. remains in the hands in which it is ,now placed, they shall never control either i,tirj,political or fiscal operations; but that ibis - great commonwealth must, and will me superior to all such attempts. All experience goes to show that the evils anticipated by many of the best and most sagacious statesmen, from the grants .of corporate powers to monied institutions have been more than realized, and should admonish us to be cautious in continuing to make such unrestricted grants. Wtth no desire to create distrust or alarm, I cannot but feel that it is the misuse and abuse of the powers thus committed to such institutions that have more than (ice led to the embarassments in the monetary concerns of the country. I cannot close this communication without appealing to the legislature, and calling upon them by every principle of patriotism, to take such action in this mattes as will enable the state to vindicate her character and credit, and to take immediate measures for separating the state from all connection with a sot of insti tutions that have so repeatedly disappointed the just extfeclations of the public, and on which no reliance can be placed when the exigencies of the State may require a call upon them.

It is said that the "Iron Gray" who has been appointed State Agent on the Colum bia railroad, was so ignorant of his duties . when appointed, that he applied to a car . agent ()lone of our transportation lines to define them, who told him he must 'get up early, niake fire in the stoves, sweep out the cars, and dust the cushions.' For a morn ing or two the 'Gray" was stirring by ear ly dawn, carrying uti coal, sweeping and pelting the cushions quite lustily. Some his party however undeceived him.

Intelligence from Olaine. Gen. Scott arrived ut Augusta, Maine,on the 6th inst. and will no doubt render iin• portant services to the country, by exerting his influence to promote nn honorable and satisfactory adjustment of the difficulty in question. The city of Bangor on the sth presented quite a warlike appearance, the several coin pantes of the second Division, having been (hilted all day and marched through the streets of the eity,their appearance was very creditable, going through the several man oeuvres with all the regularity and facility of veterans in the service. The soldiers are all in fine spirits, they only fear they shall have no oppertunity to fight the Blue noses. The regiment paraded in lfoulton yesterday for the first time, and marched through the village, being about InUO strong, ex , epting the companies which have left for the Aris took. About one half of the Detachment are armed with rifles, and made an imposing appearance the columns extending u han mile in length. There was an alarm given yesterday at Woodstock (where there was a Nlalitia train ing,) that the Provincials were about to make a sully to carry off the Artillery front the Garrison: The Bangor and Dexter riflemen were paraded in trout of the Gen. erals Quarters, and ordered to load with ball, and With the General at their head pa raded to the line about a mile distant from the place, but no enemy was found, very much to the dissatisfaction of the soldiers. On March 6th, the 11th Regiment of British Regulars had arrived at Madou iska from Canada, and the force from the 'Pobiquta had principally moved up to join them. The British forces are concentrating at adawte-ka and on the Aroostook. Thei e was an alarm at Woodstock night before last that our force would attack and burn the town that night: Their whole population were turned out, Regulars, Militiamen and boys, were on duty and under arms all night. Nut a woad hud been received froni Gover nor Fairfield or the Legislature in regard to the President's Message. On the 6th at Augusta the troops were con tinuing to pour in,and gave that city a highly animated if not a warlike appearance. The Ist and sth Division's amounting to about 1,000 men %Lore there. They are described as hardy men, well prepared fur and fitted to the - arduous duties to which they may be subjected. The Governor would review them on the Bth immediately after which they were expected to march to the EaStern Frontier. Gen. Scott called, on the Gover nor and Council this morning at the council Chamber. This afternoon he visited the State House, and was introduced to many of the citizen Officers and Suldiers•now here in the representative Hull. Ho was addres• sed by E. H. Hall, Eq. of Bangor who welcomed him to the stateiy n feu appro priate remarks, to which Gen. Scott made a very neat, happy and li:licitous reply. He ' spoke of the soldiers of Maine who served under him in the last war in terms of high praise. His remarks were received with great enthusiasm. The Augusta corres pondent of the Portland Advertiser says: Gen. Scott is deservedly a great favorite with the people of the United States, and should our present ditl•cultivis unfortunately produce a war, we should consider it highly fortunate that we have an officer of his well establi•hed bravery, prudence and skill, and one who has bud the advantage of so much experience to take command of our forces. Intelligence has been received of the spirit that ,animated the Mohawks when they heard of the prospect of a collision with our western neighbors. One thousand of them it is said have volunteered their services to come to the Aroostook. We sincerely hope their services will not be accepted. The deadly animosity which the Red men of the Forrest entertain to wards the Americans generally would rend. er them a most destructive en e my. I n t h e Maine Legislature on the 7th, Mr. Norton, introduced the following order which, was adopted. Ordered that the committee on the N. E.

About 5 of the &00 Militia drafted in the Province olNew Brunswick are already. embodied. The House of Assembly thereupon immediately voted ElO,OOO and the corporation of.

Eight companies had been &nulled au this service, two of which had already marched from Fredericton. It is further stated ;hat the , proposed lodgment is to be •made on territory that is indisputably. our own. Verbal udvices of a contradictory tenor are brought by passengers from the East. It is hardly improbable that the report is tine to its lull extent. Sir John Harvey will be likely to.govern himself by a more discreet regaid to the agreement of Mr. Foi and Forsyth, that Goy. Fairfield seems disposed to exhibit. We have intelligence from AuguSta to Sunday last. The correspondent of the Bo,ton Atlas states that a message to the Legislature would probably be commanica ted by the Guvert or the following day. Gen. Scott was to leave on Tuesday I;if Houlton. lie expet'ted to have a personal interview with Sir John Harvey. lie had much and free intercourse with the citizens of Augustamid the universal confidence was reposed in him that naturally attaches to energy and spirit of character, when united with the good sense and discretion which so eminently distinguish the gallant soldier. Mr. Bottsford, a member of the Executive Council of New Brunswick, passed through Augusta on the Dth, with despatches from Washington to Sir John Harvey. He spoke in a desponding tone as to the peaceful ter. minaion of the difficulties between the two counti les. With regard to the menaced occupation of Marsll, there was thought to be some foundation for the story, as it is stated,beside the verbal communication of the Express, in a letter from the Sectetury of Gen. iludsdon. A letter from Boolton of the 7th, states that four companies of Gen. Hodsdon's denichtnent were to mar:h that day, and the remaining five companies Olt the Monday following. Their destination was the mouth of the !Presque Isle, a stream that flows into the Aroostook on Letter G. about ten miles higher up than the lowest position tukenup by Mr. Jarvis. Several companies had already reached there, and huts fur the accotnudution of the troops hud been erected -ut that point, beyond which they will i.ot proceed tor the present. 'Die fames had been detained longer at lloulton than was expected, in consequence of die difficulties and delay necessarily attendant upon procuring clothing and other muni tions of war.

Governor's Message, relative 'to Else permanent ii.oun. 0:1 - t will be recol:ected . that an act !vas passed, by . the General Assembly of this Commonwealth, on the 26th day of January last, authorizing a loan, to enable the admin- istration to meet its engagements. Some mouth or so since, notice was given .by the Secretary of the Commonwealth,that proposals would be rece;ved until a certain date for loaning $1,200,000, payable after twenty years. Five per cent interest, pay able half yearly, was offered for the required :sum; , but the time expired and not n dollar was offered to be loaned to the COmmon- Wealth. A sad commentary on the credit of the State, in the hands of its present rulers!! • On the failure of the proposed loan,.the Governor trans:pitted to the Senate & Haase ef Rejmisentatives. a Message, caleulatqd to render him conteinpiibie in the 'estimation of every ititaigent and tioneAt than The Gov ernor, in this message,' ascribes the failure of the required lean, to "a combination .a• mongst the monied men end monied institu tions," and recommends the passage of a law, to divorce" the Commonwealth from : the Banks; and that the Stuckowned in the latter, by the State, be immediately bold. The whole tone of this document is such as must reflect discredit upon its author; there is about it, a want of that temper and dignity, which should characterize the Comniuniee titans of the executive officer Ofti great Com. mnnwerilth, in his official intercourse with the Legislature. But the bad temper in which this paper was conceived and written, though it exhibits in Governor Porter,, the absence of that calm wisdom which is one of the prominent attributes of the Statesman, is not howeverite worst feature. Thu mat- ter is worse than the mover. • He sets out by smelling a falsehood; name. ly,that the required loati,was prevented from being taken by a combination amongst the Banks and monied men. This charge is not only false, but it is absutd, and in the nature of things, • impossible. Absurd, because "monied institutions and monied men," do not all belong . to the party opposed to 'the State Administration; and because such in• situations and such inen,would not "combine" for their own dlsadvantage. It is impossi. ble; because from the period at which the Governinent bepatuo a candidate for a loan, there was not time to effect such a combina tion: Besides the proposals tor the loan,were slot made tOthe monied institutions arid Mon led men of Pennslyvania stone; they were general. Why'then was not the loan taken by the Banks and Capitalists of other States? Have they, too combined against Governor Porter and his' Administration? • • • • No intelligent maxi believee the assertion of the Governor, that such a ,curnbination ex. ists; and every respectable Man, even of his own party, must be mortified at' the 'silly Erlsehood. The reason Why t he loan 'was taken The bad fai th shown by toe .6 .rvei Mir and his leading pasty frit nds, to the Creditors of die Cnintnonwealth,have made men distru.tfol; they are not willing .to invest their money in 11w bands of men, who deny,that there is any obligation on the part of the State to abide by coatracte, suede by its dgents. They fear that the man who could. Season as G ov . PorteS has done, in re lotion to other contracts made by the Stater might recommend the psosage of a law, to 44c!c5,1_ the contract upon Which they had toauesl their money, null and .void. Ncsr can st,ere he. any svciiruy fur the faithful ()beer . . ct.trt his public faith - , derived /ota the history of Ina private c ,, ndurt. _'Therefore it is that the Treasury is bankrupt. The Governor, as we before remarked, recommends the Stock of the State, in the Banks, amounting to 82,108,700, to Le im mediately sold. The object of this recom. mendation is easily understood; but let us look at its wisdom. It is well known to our intelligent readers, that the Bank of the U. nited States, by the act of its incorporation, is bound to lendihe State a certain amount of money, at four per cent per annum, in terest. The di vidends,received by the State on the above Stock, have amounted on an average, to, not less than seven per cent per annum. Yet Gov. Porter and his political friends, refuse to take money of the Bank of the United States, at four per cent interest, and recommends the sale of stock on which the State receives.seven per cent! This is un illustration oldie wisdom and econom) of' the present Administration. During the administration of Governor Rerstrt, the credit. of the Commonwealth was unimpaired. It is true that ho so con. ducted the public affairs that no permanent loans were required; but such as were need. ed for temporary purposes he had no difficul ty in obtaining, and that on the most favors• ble terms. These days, however are gone by,and we must now school ourselves to look with patience on the prevailing state of things —produced by a mistrust of the public faith. The last recommendation, in this message is most unoriginal and stale—namely, the separation of the Government from the . Banks. It is the dragging from the grave, to which it had been consigned, by almost common corsele,the exploded Sub Treasury Scheme of the General Government. Some of our Whig friends in other States,calcula ted upon some thing of conservatism in Gov Porter; but they will discover from this strange document, that he is in petit ics,what he is in mornls,a follower of Fanny Wright ref o "Message. It is known to our readers that, some time since, a Joint Resolution was passed by the Legis lature, directir.g the work, on the Gettysburg Rail Road to bo discontinued from and after the first day of the present month (March.) :Subsequent ly. however, to the passage of the said Resolution, the Legislature passed another Resolution,extend ing the time for stopping the work on the said Road, until the first day of May nest. This was done by the Legislature, because there was no mo tley in. the Treasury to pay the Contractors, for the work which had been done; the Legislature deemit.g it unjust to turn otr the pour laborers without paying them the amount due to them. This last Resolution was vetoed by Gov. Porter, who returned it to the Senate, with his reasons for so doing, in a message, the most singular and disreputable, that over emenated from the Chief Executive Officer, of a Sovereign State. View this Message, as to Its tone, style or mat ter, and it will be found to be equally disreputable to its author—equally mortifying to every citizen of Pennsylvania, who desires to see the credit of the state upheld, by a suitable amount of dignity and intelligence, in the Officers, entrusted with the administration of her laws. The style of the mes sage is vulgar and obseure; and its mutter exhibits; on the part of its authordin ignorance of the rights and powers of the bodies, with which he cuinruu ideates, equally culpable mid disreputable. The first reason advanced by the Governor, for his refusal to approve of •the Resolution, relative to the Gettysburg Hail Road," is, that the Consti tution provides, thit "no money shall be drawn from the treasury but in consequence of appropri ations made by law." The insinuation of the Governor, is, that the Legislature arts nut aware of the consequence of this net of legislation—and his uzseetion, is, that it would, indirectly, enable those concerned, to obtain money from the Trea sury without a law making an appropriation! Tho insinuation is an insult to the Legislative Body, and the assertion is untrue, If, in conseguenco, of the permission, given by this Resolution, the Contractors, had continued to work until the first day of May, the work su done, would have been paid fur out of the appropriation of slso,ooo,made by the Legislature,to this Work, two weeks before. But. if that Suns bad been in. sufficient for the purposes for which it was intend ed, the contractors &mid not have called upon.the State Treasurer for payment, unless an appropri ation had been made, by law, for that purpose, Governor Portr's Message, to the contrary not withstanding. If that sum had not been sufficient; then it would have been the duty of the Legisla ture, to have made such an appropriation as was necessary for that object; and we doubt not, it would have had wisdom enough to do so. If Gov. Porter had vetoed the Resolution, on tho ground that this Legislatiire, front the manner of its con stitution, • had no power to enact laws, he would haat; discovered less ignorance. • But the true motives df the Governor in vetoing this resolution aro nut difficult to discover. It was his hostility to the -Gettysburg Rail Road, , and a desire to put tho contractors on it, to all frossible inconvenience. Strangers may not believe it; but it is true, that the Uhief Executive uflicer, of a great State, is actuated, in his public acts, by mo nads of private malice!, That it is no motive of public policy ; that ex cites the hostility of the Gown/pi', to this Branch of the Public liiiproyements, is ahundantly proved, by the , fact, that us •sentitor, this same David K. Porter—to the disgrace of ,Pennsylvania, her Goy ernoi-Weel in favor of it, andyoted appropriations to it. • This is his consiikney. • ... . Presidesit , s' alcssage. (o.Thc President has Gent into Congress a Mee • sage on , the subject of the North Eastern Bounda ry troubles. Want of room prevents us from pub lishing it at this time. The President is of opinion that the state of Maine, had a right to arrest the depredations complained or, viz: "The cutting of & destroying very large quantities of timber," &c. and that it belonged to her to judge of the exigen• cy of the occasion calling for her interference; and that had the Lieut.Govornor of New Brunswick been correctly advised of the nature of the proceed ings of the state of Maine, he would not have re garded the .transaction as requiring,' on lis"part, any resort to force; Thai land' where the timber V 1345 eta. Is within the limit's of Maine—sho'hail a right to eierchte jurisdiction over it.. He speaks in strong terms of the depredations of the tress passers, and has demanded the release of our Land Agent and his associates. And requested the Governor of Maine to withdraw and disband the Militia raised This request we are of opinion will riot arid any to his popularity in that section of country. He is strongly in favor of an amicable adjustment of all difficultimend says that Congress ought not to he invoked to any other than amicable means for the settlement of the difliculty,or to cause the Military power of the Federal Government to be brought in aid of tho state of , Maine, in any at tempt to affect that object by a resort to force, un less the authorities of New Brunswick should at tempt to force their claim of exclusive jurisdiction Fry military occupation of the disputed territory.— Ho does not wish an extra Session to be called, and for that purpose solicits the attention of Con gress to the consideration of such measures as will obviate the necessity of doing so.
