PennsyIvania legislature.

| HARRIsBURG. PA, Jan. 2-The Governors message
was delivered to the Legislature to-day. liz
| declares the doctrine of secession erroneous.
! The Constitution is something more thas a mere
compact, and organized resistance to the General
Government is rebellion. If successful it may be
purged OF the crime by revOluton-if unsuccessful
the persons may be executed traitors but while
denying the right of State absOlve its citizens
| from allegiance to the Federal Government never
theless 1t is proper that carefully and eandidly
examine the reasons alleged and, if. they are well
founded. they should be unhesitatngiy removed and
PREPARATION tor the past and security for the future
given, fer government created BY the people
should never do injustice to any of its citizens
Pennsylvania being included in the States alleged
to have refused compliance with the Fugitive Slave
Law, he unheSitatiEgly AYERS that the State has
been almost invariably influenced By high regcrtl
for the rights of her sister States. After examining
the present State law. he says there is nothing to
prevent the removal of the act of 1856 leaving the
claimant a right 10 seek for a remedy under the
state or Federal laws. He recommends that the
consent of the State be gwen to the master while
souJournias IN or passing through Pennsylvania to
retain the services OF the slave.
He suggests the re-enactment of the Missouri
Compromise and that the line be extended to Cafor-
MIA, thereby amending the Constitution. He re-
commends the Legislature instruct our Represen-
tatives IN Congress TO support such an amendment
to be submitted to the State Convention for raca-
tion and if Congress fails to propose let emanate
from the people
He closed by declaring that Pennsylvania is de-
voted TO the Union, and would follow the stars and
stripes through every peril He adds:
But before assuming the responsibility that are
foreshadowed it is the solemn duty of Pennsylvania
TO remove every just cause of complaint so that
she can stand before high heaven without fear and
reprOach, and then she is ready to devote her life
and fortune TO the best form Of Government ever
devised by man. Though a dark cloud now rest
upon the Union, my hopes and affections still cling
TO it. My prayer is, that He who orders the dest-
MES of nations, when He shall leave US for our
sins, will again have mercy upon u.s. and bind us in
tighter, stronger, and more hallowed bonds of fra
ternity, so that the Union may remain unbroken
throughout all future time"
