It must be acknowledged, however, that much remains to be accomplished in this respect, and that the requisitions of the constitution are still in a great measure unanswered. The object of the convention seems to have been, to diffuse the means of rudimcntal education so extensively, that they should be Completely within the reach of all the poor who could not pay for them, at well as the rich who could. Convinced tnat even liberty without knowledge, is but a precarious blessing I cannot therefore too strongly recommend this subject to your consideration. Another point which i would respectfully suggest, relates to the encouragement of industry at home. As this is a subject more peculiarly with ih the province of the national government, I would submit the propriety of your requesting our representation in congress, to exert its influence in establishing a tariff, which will completely protect American manufactures.

The experience of seven years, has shewn that little dependence is to be placed upon the- foreign demand for our agricultural products. It has been the policy of the most enlightened and prosperous nations of Europe to exclude all articles of loreign growth or manufacture which they can themselves produce.

Tuesday last, the 16th inst, being the day appointed by the constitution for the installation of the governor elect, the borough of Harrisburg svas crowded by visitors from various parts of the state, who were desirous to witness this distinguished spectacle.

I 1U cou life enforces the conviction, that they are to be ranked among the most important benefits, that human wisdom has confered upon mankind. At any other period, it might fee deemed superfluous to commend the principles, which they contain, to the reverence and fostering tare of my fellow-citizens. But the present times are distinguished bt extraordinary events.

A combination the most formidable the world ever witnessed, exists amongst the potentates of Europe the object of which is nothing less than the entire prostration of the rights of man. The harriers of national independence have been forced, and a crusade carried on against the liberties of nations whose only offence was a calm and peaceful at' tempt to improve their political condition. We have moreover seen a despotism whose very existence is a stain upon the escutcheon ot Christian Europe, exercising the most Unheard of atrocities upon a Christian people who were struggling to be free. 1 he Holy Alliance looked on with folded arms, whilst the Turkish barbarians were polluting the altars, plundering the temples, burning the cities, and butchering the inhabitants ot Christian Greece. Neither the ties of a common faith, nor the admiration of her ancient splendor heroic virtues, excited in the bosoms of that heartless conspiracy the least sympathy for the mother of republics.

They regarded the regeneration ol liberty in Greece, as adverse to the cause of thrones. In support of that cause doctrines have beeu promulga ted by the league of despots in direct and deadly hostility to the principles upon wjiich our institutions are founded. Whether the light of freedom is destined to be extinguished in Eu rope or to beam forth with brighter effulgence, toe shall have equal reason to cherish the generous flame which animated the valor of our forefathers, and to preserve unsullied the liberties which they have handed dotvn. In either case it will behoove us, not only to rejoice in the advantages which we possess, in a government founded upon the consent of the people and maintained by their authority. but from a two-fold motive of gratitude to our ancestors and love to our children to transmit to posterity those advantages unimpaired.

It will not be expected, fellow-citizens of the General Assembly that I should at this time attempt to call your attention to the subjects which may be proper for your consideration during your session. Your own ex in the bands of political union and there was the cap of Liberty, to remind us of the privileges we enjoyed. mr. Ogle -presented the following reaolution Resolved, That the Mace, the cap of Liberty, be again restored to its standing in this house which it had iu 1776 and that the seigeant at-arms be required to place the same at his right hand where he sits. Postponed Tuisday, Dec.

messrs. Baker and Todd were appointed a committee to wait on the speaker of senate, and conduct him to the House of Representatives, at 2 oclock, to perform the duties of inauguration. On motion of mr. Stevenson, the house adjourned till half past 11 o'clock. The house met again at the time appointed.

The senate assembled in the representative chamber when the committee appointed for that purpose introduced the Governor, and heads of department. 'I he speaker of senate then roe, and made nearly the following riemarks Gentleman It is known to you, that on the third Tuesday in the month ot December, of every triennial year the person who has obtained the highest number of votes of the citizens of this commonwealth, for the office of governor, is inducted in that situation. Our constitution and laws point out what officers shall be bound by the solcmitv of an oath or affirmation and amongst this number vve find the Governor. And although no place is mentioned, in either constitution or laws of the state, where this ceremony shall be performed, your own resolutions have fixed the hour atid place, and perhaps no more appropriate situation could be selected, than in the presence of the representatives of the people.
