GENTLEMEN;--The general hellh of the
people, the rich rewards Of husbAndry, the
quickening spirit that peTvades trade and
industry, lhe enlarged prosperity of our
country, and its advance in moral and in,
telectual atiainmens these, under us
sense of our dependence, swell our CRATE
lul acknowledgements, at this time, 10 HIM
from whose 6enefcence they all proceed,
Nothing has occurred since the adjourn
ment of the Legislature, TO inlerrup, the
harmony or check the energies of our
Commonwealth On The contrary, intelli-
gent enterprise has been every where
crowned with success.
The exerliOns of our people to meet the
engagements Of the State have thus far been
successful. The payment, by number
of Counties Of the whole amount Of lheil
,azes for lS45, several months before the
time at which they have heretofore been
collected, added more than $500 600 10 the
effective revenues of the year; and the last
Legislature having excluded certain classes
Of debts from the claims TO be Immediately
provided for by the Treasury, we have
been enabled to pay the interest which fell
due on the funded debt within the past fs,
cal year. On the first day of Ihe present,
Session, the balance remaining in the
Treasury was about S625,0O which with
the accruing revenues will be applicable TO
the demands OF the first Of next month,
We have tAns the reasonable and crafty.
ing assurance, that the interest will then al,
so be puncluaIly paid. The public debt of
Pennsylvania on the first December lsl5
as appears from the report of the Auditor
General, was as follows:

From this view OF the subject it is appa,

ing the deficiency, the balance in the Trea

have been reduced to $sS, 500 90, and the
arrears of outstanding taxes, TO the sum Of
S754,5 54l so. 1t is plain, therefore, ma,

and that no appropriations will be made BY

The deficit in our means, under existing
laws, presents Tor the deliberations of the
General Assembly, topic Of paramount
importance 1t may be remembered Ibat in
he month Of January last, expressed the
opirioD, III an Executive message, that our
finances had not then reached condition.
10 enable us, permanently and at once, ore

public debt,-l regret that subsequent cX-
lminsIons and reflection, have hot permit,

But the Legislative action on the question

The following is I0n q manuscript copy, writ

sees miniature likeness OF Washington, and which
hangs in one of the rooms of the mansion a
Mount Vernon, having Lecnleft there some time
after WashingtOn's death:
WASHINGTON,
The Defender of his country, the Founder of
Lii city,
The Friend Of Man.
History and Tradition are explored in vain
for q parallel to his character.
In the annals Of modern greatness
he stands alone,
and the noblest names Of antiquity
lose their lustre in his presence
Born the benefactor Of mankind,
he upites all the qualities necessary
to an illustrious career.
Nature made him great,
he made himself virtuous.
Called by his country to defend her liberties,
h~striumphantly vindicated the rights orhumanity'
and on the Pillars Of Irrational Independence
laid the foundations of great Republic.
Twice invested with Supreme Magistracy,
blythe unanimous voice Of a free people,
he surpassed in the Cabinet
the glories Ofthe Field,
and voluntarily resigning the Sceptre and the
Sword,
retired to the shades Of private life.
A spectacle so new and SO sublime
was contemplated with the profoundest admiration,
and the name Of Washington,
adding new lustre 10 humanity.
sesounded to the remotest regions Of the earth.
Magnanimous in Youth,
Glorious through Life,
Great in Death,
His1ighest ambition the happiness Of Mankind.
His noblest victory tie conquest of himself:
Bequeathing to posterity the inheritance of his
fame,
