GOVERNORS MESSAGE.

TO the Senate and House Of Representatives. of
tie Commonwealth Of Pennsylvania:
FELLOW CITIZENS In performance Of the
duty enoiRed on me by the Constitution, i pro-
ceed TO give you such information ofthe state of
the Commonwealth, and to recommend TO your
consideration such measures, as think expedi-
cnt at the present time. The discharge Of
this duty is, in many respects, beset with diff
Guilty, but this does not absOlve me from the OBJ
legations created by my official station In
spint ofperiect trankneSs. i shall submit to you,
the best dictates OF my Judgment, and shall be
happy if in your wisdom and experience, you
can so modify and improve them as to promote
IN greater degree, the welfare OF our common
constituents, the people of this Commonwealth.
The Subject of deepest interest, and greatest
perpleXity, that calls for our attention. is the fl
nancial condition of the State. Although |
have, on several former occasions, entered into
a full and minute exposition OF this matter,
cannot refrain from again presenting 1t to your
consideration, ia a manner SO distinct and plain,
as to preclude, | trust, the possibility of miScon-
ception on the part of those who feel sn honest
desire 10 understand it, / am persuaded that
however embarrassed may be the pecunary af-
fairs ot the Commonwealth, nothing is needed
10 induce the people TO provide means to extri-
cate them, but clear and candid exposition of
the nature and extent of the liabilities, to which
they are subject. The time for cOncealment,
evasion and deception on this point, is at an
end. The contract has been made The faith
Of the State is pledged, and every consideration
of duty and OF houor require of US, TO Know cur
true condition, and to provide adequate means
to meet car obligations, and to redeem our
plighed faith.
There is due by this State, to the United
States, on account of deposite Of surplus reve-
nue., the sum Of 81. 667,5l IS The funded
debt Of the State, amounts to $36,33I, ,005 69.

The immediate difficulty of our situation,
arises mainly from the payment OF the interest
annually accruing on this debt. This interest
is about $l,SO0,000; and this sum, II Is lncum-
bent on the State TO provide as II becomes uue.
The inconsiderable portion Of the funded debt,
now re1eemable, can be, doubtless. postponed
until more auspicious times, but the interest ad-
nits of no such postponement This is in
great measure payable to those who canno! al
ford to procrastinale It's reception, and whose
means of subsistence depend, on the faithful ad-
herence of the State, TO It's solemn engagements
with its loan holders. The income especially
appropriated to the payment OF this interest IS
desired from the following sources, TO wit: tolls
tsJa raaals and railways. auction dutles tax on
aallats1al inheritances, divideps on turnpike
bridge aad navigation stocks, escheats and the
tax levied on real and personal property, &c.
The araeunt received from each of these sew

CONDITION OF THE INDIAN TRIBES.
We have read with much interest, among
the documents accompanying the Presidents
Message 10 Congress, the report of Capt.
William Armstrong, acting Superintendent
of the Western Territory, on the Condi
iion Of the Indian Tribes, his relations with
them and description of, the Indian Country.
To this letter we are indebted for the fol.
lowing:
1 The CheroLees. Cherokees, Capt.
Armstrong considers, as the most enight.
ened Of the Indian tribes. This he atlrb
utee 10 the fact thst their intercourse with
toe whites has been more general, and to
their having attended earlier than other
tribes to general education which is the
great hand maid of civilization.
The Cherokees have a written cons,itu.
ton based upon equal rights, The Con
stitutIon provides for a National Council,
which consists of two branches, the com.
miitee, aud tho council.
This body meets annually on the first
/ Monday in October, and enscts all laws for
the government Of the tribe, which are
regularly printed. Judges, Sherifs, and
other officers are regularly elected to ad.
minister justice, and execute the laws
Trial by jury is secured and other princi.
plies Of free government, are established
and the laws are 30 administered as "a
secure the rights Of the people upon per
manent basis.
The country they occupy is Of sufficient
extent for much larger population, and
produces corn, wheat, oats, and other veg
e;ables in abundance, while it affords foe
range for stock, of which the Cherokees
own large numbers. The people generally
have comfortable dwellings, while in some
parts Of the country fine dwellings have
been erected. Lead and iron ores are
found, and salt J manufactured to consid.
cradle extent. The prospects for tho ad.
vance Of civilization are 6alering, but 10 its
progress they have TO contend agains, a
formidable evil that is. the use Of arden,
spirits. "The greatest evil" says Capt.
Armstrong attendant upon The Cherokee
people - the large quantity Of spurious
liquors which are introduced into their
country. From their locality, bordering
on portion Of the State Of Arkansas, and
Missouri, with the Arkansas river running
through portion Of their territory, not.
wiihstandiug the severe laws prohibiting
the Introduction Of spurious liquor into the
Indian country it has been found imprac,i
cable to proven: large quantities from being
introduced. THIS not only strips them 81
the money that should be beneflciaIIy ap
Piled, but produces dissensions among
themselves, and is source Of incompatible
evil"
The Chocfdrs. The Choctaws have
made great Efforts to throw off the habits Of
Indian life, and assume those of ciyilIz1iion.
Schools have been established, and a gene.
raj inclination is manifested TO embrace the
advantages they present. Aided by the ex
ertlons Of pious missionaries the Caoc;aws
are rapidly advancing IN civilization. -~

TILE PAPERS OLE AARON puRR.

Mr.. l.. F. Claiborne, formerly men,
Der of Congress from Mississippi, and now
one of the editors of the Natchez Free
Trader, has been publishing some remlnis-
cences of the treasons Of Aaron Bur.--
We find in them the following iniorma-
ton and promise:
When the interview took place be-
tween Burr and the Mississippi commits
sioners near the mouth ilhe Bayou Pierre,
he had these documents in his possession,
and his remarkable words, IN reference to
Geaeral Wilkinson, have been already CT.
ted. "Tfdm sacrificed, my portfolio piii
prors him 10 be rillGin." Had that port.
folio embraced only the evidence of his
own design, it would have been then, or
previously destroyed; but it contained
matter deeply involving parties, who then,
aud since stood high in the country, and
he no doubt determined TO preserve it as 4
guarantee for their silence.
These papers, we have reason to believe,
were deposited before he went TO Coles
Creek, or perhaps before be met the CON-
missioners, under seal, with the late Judge
BURN; they afterwards passed into the
custody OF the late Benjamin Osmum, one
of the securities on his recognizance, who
had entire faith in his integrily-at whose
house he was last seen in the territory,
and who supplied him with the tucililes Of
escape. Why these papers were reyeI
reclaimed, or if they were, why they were
never delivered, we have no means Of de.
tcrDining. How they came into our pos
session, ii IS very easy to explain:
Col. Osmum was the nearest nelghbor
Of the late Gen. Claiborne, and up TO the
death Of the latter they remained most in
innate friends, although widely differing IL
their estimate of Burr. Having no faml
Is, Col. Osmum was long in the habit o.
keeping his most valuable papers at the
domieile Of his friend, and he continued
this practice up 10 the period of his OWE
demise. When this happened, his execu
tor, tie late Judge Taylor (whose mind
however, was much impaired before he en-
tered upon his trus) removed, as was sup
posed, all tue papers of the deceased
Many years afterwards, however, We
found among voluminous mass OF docu
ments, collected by various public men
and deposited at the domcil of our late
father, several packages of letters belong,
ing TO Colonel Csmum, aud with them, the
papers Of Aaron Burr. He had no living
representative Colonel Osmun had died
without any known heirs his executor, OF
two or three executors and administrators
in succession, had all been swept of, and
we consider ourselves fairly entitled to the
custod ard the use OF so rare and valuable
deposit. 1t is scarcely necessary to
say, they will explain much that has hlth
erto been cnniectural, and will establish
beyond the shadow OF doubt, that if a
former Vice President Of the United
States was engaged in an unlawful scheme
Of ambition, he had for his coadjutors some
Of the most distinguished men Of the ma
