A communication from the Inspectors
Of the Western Penitsntiary has been laid
before me. Its statements show that tho
number of finished cells is inadequate to
the convicts. To secure punishment by
separate confinement, it is proposed to
finish another tier of cells already COM
menced Whilst concurring fully in the
recommendations of the worthy Inspectors,
| desire to call early attention to their letter
hereto annexed.
My attention has been directed, by the
occurrence Of fearful accidents in the
cities Of our Commonwealth, to the neces-
sity of precautionary legislation on the
subject of the construction of private and
public buildings in crowded communities.
| respectfully ask your consideration of
this matter. 1t is idle to say that 4 sense
of individual self-interest is a sufficient
protection on this subject All experience
shows it is not SO; and tha: in localities
where ground is very valuable, space re-
stricted, and competition for position active,
everything is lost sight of but temporary
advantage. The public is not reused to
the sense Of impending danger until some
frightful casualty, involving the loss of
innocent human life, startles it from false
security. Legislation in prevention of the
recurrence of these casualties is earnestly
recommended.
Tho laws in relation to small notes
issued by banks of other States, have
failed to realize the results intended by
the Legislature. In many counties they
are entirely disregarded. In a former
message reference was made to the evil
consequences likely to result to the morals
OF a community from open disobedience to
, law. 1t is clear that the present law is
not, and will not be executed The circu-
iaiing medium it proposes to Danish, should
not be permitted to exist among US, in its
present condition. Authority to the banks
of the Commonwealth to issue this denom-
ination Of money, would speedily drive
from circulation this deprecated currency,
by the substitution of notes issued by
institutions under the control Of tho Leg
islature. Iu relation to this subject, as
well as to system of free banking, based
upon public securities, the recommendation
Of . former message are respectfully
referred to your careful consideration.
l would refer you to the Report of the
Canal Commissioners for detailed state
ment of the proceedings on the public
works during tine past year; and to the
reports Of the Auditor General, State
Treasurer Surveyor General, Supcrin.en-
dent of Common Schools, and Adjutant
General, for information in relation to the
operations and condition of their several
departments during the same period.
The following estimates of receipts and
expenditures for the current year are duly

has resulted to many OF the lhous'liAA III
terests of this State Their alteration in
such manner as will protect those interests,
all must earnestly desire. l have on
former occasions most fully expressed my
views on thi. subject, and have urged upon
the Legislature the propriesy of such
action as would influence favorably the
National Congress. The great manufac-
turing, mining, and agricultural interests
Of Pennsylvania require and demand
change of the present system Of tariff laws.
The i'll success attending former efforts,
furnishes no excuse for an omission again
to call attention to the subject, In the
confedcracy of States, We hold an impor-
tant position. Pennsylvania, from tie
numbers Of her population, and their
acknowledged patriotism, has right to
demand for Ler industry that kindly legis.
lation which it deserves and stoald
receive. 1t is not the part of a high minded
people to make bargains for the security Of
their rights, and It is equally unbecoming
tamely to submit to oppression and wrong
A firm and manly demsnd for the change
of policy which is rapidly impoverishing
a portion Of our citizens, retardiug the
growth Of the State, and preventing the
development of its mineral resources, would
have the effect of securing from our Ma
tional Government such modification of
Its laws IS would protect American labor
against the ruinous competition it meets,
in our markets, from the labor Of foreign
countries. 1t is most sincerely to be
hoped, that the present Assembly will
determine, in its action on this subject, to
be faithful to Pennsylvania.
