U. IIEATTY, l'ROl'HIKTOR AND PUBLISHER. 51 Ihijirr fur tjjt amihj Cirrle. WEDMiSDAY, JANUARY 17, lS5o. I prodigality, extravagant and corrupt po favoritism" the sale of theso im-provoments, or at leaHt of the "main line," as a means of reducing this debt, lessening taxation, and saving our financial credif, has for many yw.ns occupied the attention of the people, and their representatives.

Hills for the sale of the main line have be passed by three diif'ieiit Legislatures, tvo of which were npproved by the (lovernois then in office. '1 lie people, on the being submitted to thetii in l-y l-f, deciiVd, by a large majority, in favor of the sale; ai vet these works, from the defective character of tho laws nut horizing the sale, re.tric-,ons contained in llieui, and from oilier causes, remain unsold. Public sentiment, founded on peonoiuiciil, moral, nnd political considerations, siiil demands, and the pi slill requires, their sale. 'Ihe conii'Vr lion t- be paid, the 'e term-, and conditions of the sale, otiyht to be carefully ioiisidrn.il. Just and liberal inducements should be olfered purchasers; whilst at the same time, tho people should be protected agidust wrong and imposition.

By avoiding the errors of lonner legislation, a sale on terms favorable to the State, and beneficial to tlie purchaser, mny bo secured. is in vain to hope fiu- a reduction of the debt, nnd relief from taxation, without a salt of ttie whole, or part, of imr public works.

NO. 20. agricultural industry, not bo indifferent to the laudable efforts now making to advance and perfect this first, and noblist, pursuit of man, This, and all other branches of industry should receive tho fostering care and encouragement of the Government. The interests of our great commercial emporium should receive the considerate attention of the Legislature.

Her manufactures, trade and commerce, are of great and increasing importance, and Philadelphia, as consolidated, in population, wealth, enterprise und intelligence, ranks and rivals the first cities of the Union. To make her tho first among the cities of our country, sli Mild be thejusl pride of every IVntisylvauiau. Her interests are so identified with the interests of the State, that they cannot be scperaled without injury to both. A prudent arid liberal system of legislation, appropriate to her real wants, would promote her own and the interests of the commonwealih. A sound currency is essential to the prosperity of a commercial people.

All classes of society and every branch of industry, in their varied intrests and economical relations, are interested in securing and maintaining a safe circulating medium. To accomplish this result, wise and prudent legislation is necessary. Tho creation of a well regulated and carefully guarded system of banking, is not only sound policy, but beneficial to the legitimate trade and commerce of the country mid aids in developing her great natural and industrial resources. Our present system of banking, with the limitations, restrictions and liabilities, individual and ouherwise, imposed by law on these institutions, has become the settled polir-y of the State. The checks and guards thrown around them should not be lessened or removed.

Their own safety, nnd the security of the public, require their continuance. Notice of numerous intended applications to the Legislature for new banks, an increase of banking capital and savings institutions, has been given as required by the constitu. tion. Without desiring to assume a hostile attitude towards all banks, the proprif.y of incorporating all that may be culled for, under the notice given, cannot lie justified or defended. The extravagant, improper, or unreasonable increase of banks and bai king capital, is not demanded by the wants of the community, and will not, and cannot be sanctioned by the Executive.

The present commercial and financial embarrassment of the country the depressed state of trade all past experience, and the more recent expert-enoa of some of our ssl(r as seen in their ruined banks and depreciated currency, demonstrate the necessity of legislating cautiously and prudently on this subject. The number of banks, and consequently the amount of banking capital should be limited to, and regulated by, the proper demands of active and healthy trade, and the actual business wants and necessities of the community. This policy, honestly insisted upon and pursued, would protect the country from the disastrous consequences of improvident banking. An extraordinary and unnecessary increase of banks and banking facilities, in seasons of great general pros perity, leads to extravagant and ruinous speculation. Such increase in times of commercial distress, aggravates and prolongs the evils it was designed to remedy.

Knter-taining these views, 1 will not hesitate to sanction the re-chartering of old and solvent, banks, which by prudent and careful management, and an honest ailherance to the 1c. gitimate purposes of their creation, have merited and received the confidence ot the public. Nor will I refuse to sanction the incorporation of new banks, when indispensably necessary and clearly demanded bv the actual business wants and interests of the community in which they may be located. To no other, and under no other circumstan ces can I yield the Executive consent To promote the welfare and prosperity of the Commonwealth, by regulating and increasing her finances, economizing her re sources, maintaining her credit, reducing her debt, and relieving her people from oppressive taxation, will be the objects of my anxious desire and to the accomplishment of which every energy of my administration will be directed. The public debt, now ex.

ceediug forty millions of dollars, and the annul taxation necessary to meet the pay ment oi iui interest, seriously auect i lie great industrial interests of the State; drive lubor and capital from the commonwealth; prevent the extension and completion of her noble system of education, and the prosecution of those laudable schemes of benevolance, whic at once benefit, dignify and adorn a free and enlightened people. Every consideration of State pride, every motive of interest, require its reduction and speedy liquidation, by every available and practicable means, iu secure this object, rigid economy in every department of the government retrenchment in the public expenditures; strict accouutabilitv in nil the receiving and disbursing officers of the commonwealth and an honest and faithful discharge of duty bv all her agents, would contribute ninth and save millions to the Treasury.

JAMES POLLOGKj Govt-mor uf FrniiH) 1 Tallin. TWKXTV TIKU'SAXI) SPECTATORS Grand Military Display! THE IXAUGU11AL ADDRESS, ic. Tho most brilliant demonstration probably ever itnessed in Pennsylvania was the inauguration of Gov. JAMAS POLLOCK yesterday in llarrisburg. The day dawned auspieiously the air was unpreeedentedly mild and penial for the season the sun slione brightly and nature herself seemed to rejoice with the thousands of happy Americans whom the glorious occasion brought together.

The crowd was certainly by far the greatest ever assembled on Inauguration day, and the display of military surpassingly fine. Some four companies of cavalry and not less than twelve companies of Volunteer Infantry and Ilifle Companies joined in the Governor's escort. This massive column of troops presented a truly imposing appearance, and when "music arose with its inspiring 's if ell" from tho various bands iu the line, the effect was exciting beyond description. Among the companies present was the Carlisle Infantry, Capt. Crop and Lieuts.

McCartney and Crozier, (who both looked and marched well) and the Big Spring Guards, a cavalry company. At 12 o'clock, the lime of process-ion having been formed in front of Coverly's Hotel, the Governor-elect took his seat in a handsome carriage, drawn by fuur milk-wliito horses, and tho procession moved towards the Capitol, stopping at tho residence of Gov. lltuLER, who took a seat in the carriage with his successor. Ex-Govs. Johnson and Porter followed in another carriage.

At all points along the line of march the windows of dwellings were filled with ladies whose bright smiles and waving handkerchiefs pave joyous token of their interest in the ani mating spectacle. The inauguration cere monies took place in front of the Capitol, and accordingly the whole of the vast crowd were able to see if not to hear. The proceedings were opened with prayer by Kev. Mv. Cookman, after which the oath of oiliee was adininisteiied to Gov.

Pol-lock by the Speaker of the Senate. Gov. Pollock then read in clear and distinct tone his inaugural address, which we subjoin. The reading was frequently interrupted by bursts of applause from the immense assemblage, whose tumultuous shouts rent the air. THE ADDRESS.

Fellow Citi.kns. Custom sanctions anil demands, a brief declaration of the princi ples and policy, to be uilopted and inirsued by an Executive about to assume the functions of that ofhee. The character of our institutions demonstrates the propriety of such declaration. All the just powers of the Gov ernment emanate from the people, and to them should be communicated the manner in which it is proposed to execute the powers conferred. The people are sovereign, and in the exer cise of their sovereignty they have "ordained and established'' a constitution for the government of the State.

That constitution, 1 have this day, in the presence of my fellow citizens, and of Him who is the searcher of hearts and with humble reliance on 1 lis wisdom to direct sworn to support. The hio-h powers therein delegated to the respec tive and co-ordinate brandies of the Govern ment are clearly expressed and defined. Side by side with the grant of powers, stands the declaration of the rights of the people, recognizing the general, great and essential principles of liberty ami free government. to cuaril against the transirression ot the powers delegated and to preserve iorever inviolate the rights, liberties, and privileges of the citizen, thus declared will be both a duty and a pleasure, in full harmony with every sentiment of my heart, every impulse of my nature. Republican Institutions are the pride, and justly tlie glory of our country.

To enjoy them is our privilege, to mantuin them our duty. Civil mid religious liberty freedom of speech, and of the press, the rights of conscience, and freedom of worship are the birthright and boast of the American citizen. No royal edict, no pontifical decree, can restrain or destroy them. Jn the enjoyment of these blessings tlie rich and the poor, the high and the low, meet together the constitution, in its full seopo and maple development, shields and protects them all. When these rights are assailed, these privileges en- iiaugeruu, miner man am Oition, or bv lu tluences foreign to the true interests of the Nation, and at war -with love of country mat nooie impulse oi the American heart which prompts it to revere home and native land as sacred objects of its affections it then the ballot box in ltd omnipotence, spca King tiiunuer tones the will ot ihe peoj uiu wrong, ami vindicates the iree- dom of the man the independence of the citizen.

To the American people have these blessings been committed as a sacred trust they are and must ever be, their guardians and defenders. Ihe American citizen independent and free, uninfluenced by par tizun attachments, unaweu ny eeciesias tical authority or ghostly intolerance in the strength of fearless manhood, and in the bold assertion of his rights should exhibit to the world a living illustration ol the stipe rior benefits of American Republicanism proclaiming a true and single allegiance to his country, and to no other power but "the (Jod that made and preserves us as a iia tion." Virtue, intelligence and truth are the foun dation of our Republic. By these our iusti tutions and privileges can and will be pre served. Jcrnorance is not the mother of put riotism, or of Republics. It is tho enemy destrover of both.

Education, ill its enlio-hteuinsr, elevating and reforming in fluenccs, in the full power of its benifieient results, should be encouraged by the State. Not that mere intelectunl culture that leaves the mind amoral waste, unlit to understand the duties of the man or citizen, but that higher education, founded upon, directed, and controlled by sound and elevated moral prin ciple that recognises tue iiibie as tlie toun dation of true knowledge, as the text book alike of the child and the American States man, and as the great charter anil bull work of civil and religious freudom. Xli knowledge thus acquired is the power cou servaiive of States and nations: more potent in its energr to Uphold the institutions of treeaom anu tne rignis or man, man armies and navies their proudest strength. The framers of ourconstitution understood this, and wisely provided for tho establish incut of schools and "the promotion of the arts and sciences, in one or more seminaries of learning," that the advantages of educa tion might be enjoyed by all. To improve the efficiency of this svstem not only by perfecting our common schools.

but by encouraging and aiding one or more higher literary institutions, in which teachers can be trained and qualihed and to in crease the fund appropriated to educational purposes, are objects which will at all times relieve mv willing approval. Money hue rallv, vet wisely, expended in the pursuit and promotion ot knowledge is true The integrity of this system and its fund must be preserved. No division of this fun for political or sectarian purposes should ev er be made or attempted. Jo divide is to destroy. Party and sectarian jealousies would be engendered the unity and harmo ny of the system def Moved and its noble ob ject frustrated and defeated.

Bigotry might rejoice, patriotism would weep, over siuh a result. lu the performance of tho duties now devolved upon me, it will he my desire to aid, by-all constitutional and legal means, the de velopment of the resources of the State and to encourage and promote her agricultural. mining, manufacturing and commercial interests. A kind Providence has bestowed upon us, with a liberal hand, all the elements of wealth and greatness. Our valleys and plains offer their fertile soil to the ploughshare of the husbandman, and reward with their rich pro ductions his honorable toil.

Our nicxhaus tible coal fields our rich iron deposits; lime stone everywhere, and just where most re- a in red the interminable torest, and our rushing streams all invite the energy and enterprise of our citizens to the development of their treasures, and promise a rich reward to their labors. The smoke of our furnaces, the crash of the rolling mill, the hum of the spindle, and the din of the workshop, attest the energy ami manufacturing skill of our people; and whilst the plough, the loom and the anvil unite in tho productions of wealth, commerce, by her thousand avenues, ii bearing their valuable and abundant products to our marts of trade. Amidst all these great interests, and their rapid and almost rimtntic development, it is a matter of congra that agriculture, in its various departments, has awakened public attention to its impor tance and claimed and received from science, the tribute of its aid. IV nsylva-nia so deeply interested in the succe.S jf her public the people demand nlict an I re. case I roin iini i ens.

1 he press and the ballot box have declared the popular will on this subject, and that will should le obeyed. Duty, and a conviction of its pro priety, v.iil prompt me to give a cordial 'support, I i the accomplishment of this In toL; connection, and whether it sale oi all. or any of the public, imprnvuuu-ids be effected or not. tho abo'ition or reorganization of the Board uf rs. and the s-ibstit in ion of some other effieient and responsible of management, arc subje.

Is worthy of consiileia'ion. Everv of rel rm in this regard, calculated to increase the tciicii-uey and responsibility of the supervisory power; protect the interests of the Ptato; and correct the real or alleged abuses of the present sstem, will receive my approval. The people having in the recent election decided against the passage of a bw prohibiting the manufacture anil sale of spirituous liquors, it will become the duty of the and Executive to consider what otiier legislation may be necessary to control nnd correct the evils of intemperance. Our present license system, although highly penal, and corrective of many abuses, is still defective. The facility with which licenses are obtained for the sale of malt and other tw ti.

on in iiitiiuio icii.iiu. lit; number of places in which these are sold, should be limited bylaw; and no license granted unless by the Courts, and in the manner now reouired in the case of nubli. inns and taverns; and subject to tjje sanio regulations, restrictions and penalties. The desecration of tin? Sabbath bv a traltic so fruitful of evil, and so ilemoriilizino- in results, is in direct opposition to the law of God, and the moral sentiment of the people; aud is a reproach to the age in which we live. A stringent and comprehensive law, remedial in its provisions and vindicating the great law of the Sabbath, in its physical aud moral relations to man, is required, not onlv by the moral sense of the community, but would be justified by every smitimmit of hu- mnriitr.

rvprp nf t.titlu nlli every impulse of pure and genuine patriot ism. The history of intemperance is written iu tears and blood. Pauperism, taxntint and crime follow in its train. A remedy should be applied; nnd public scntimeut. with the full force of its moral sanction, will approve all prudent and constitutional legis-tation on this subject.

The pardoning power the harmonious blending of mercy and justice in our Constitution will be exercised with a just regard to both these important principles. With every desire to extend mercy to the un fortunate ami repentant transgressor, justice, in her stern demands, will not bo oVer looked by the pardon of the vicious and hardened criminal. This power has bean conferred on the Executive, not to overthrow the administration of justice, but to aid nd promote it. should be exercised with 'reat caution, and only upon the most satis-actory assurance that it is due to the con-lenined. and that the rights nnd seem irv of he public will not prejudiced by the act, To irevent the abuse ol this power, and to.pro-cct the Executive from imposition, notice of intended application should be published in the city or county where the trial and conviction took place.

Experience has demonstrated the impolicy of subscriptions by municipal corporations, to the stock of railroad companies. This is especially true in relation to county subscriptions. The practice should be avoided, or at least not encouraged by future legislation. Leg'slation, so far as practicable, should be genera! and uniform. Local and special legislation ought to be discouraged, when the object can he obtained by general laws.

Its tendency is pernicious; and general principles, and public good, are often sacrificed to secure personal and private "Omnibus lecishltion'' heinor imninnnr itself, nnd demoralizing in its influence, car. receive my sanction. The views and: practice of my immediate predecessor on his subject, meet my cordial approval. Pennsylvania, occupying as she does an important and proud position in the sisterhood of States, cannot be indifferent to tife policy and acts of the National Government. Her voice, potential for good iu other days, ought not to be disregarded now.

Devoted to the Constitution and the Union as she was first to sanction, she will be the las! to endanger the one, or violate the other. Regarding with jealous care the. rig'its of her si -tcr States, she ill be ever ready to defend her own. The blood of her sons poured out.
