OF citizens assembled ~ The State House
between twelve aud one O'Clock to day. 10
hear Governor Banks vaiedictory address.
II is an important document giving a de-
tailed review Of the material educational aud
military progress Of the State during the
three years he filled fhe Executive chair.
The assessed valtie Of the property of the
State is $780, 00000 The enrolled militia
number l55,359 men. A considerable space
is devoted to the Personal---very. Law and
It's removal from the statute-bOoks. Cover
nor Banks concludes as follows:
There can be no peaceable secession Of
States, whether the Government is com
pact between States, or union Of the peo-
Pile, it is, nevertheless, a Government and
can not be dissolved at the bidding OF any
dissatisfied people Of every iand, and that
ledge Of faith can not be broken. 1t has
be en- sanctified by the best blood Of the peo-
ple and that sacrifice has made it indispen-
sible and eternal. Neither can that portion
Of the Continent now occupied by the Amer
ican 'tates be poriioned out to hostile ma
tions bA war and by purchase. Every foot
of the country has acquired indefeasible
and perp, 'tual rights in every other part.
''1he in terror will never allow the KEYS Of
the Conti Nent or the ocean and the gulf
shores, to ass into the hands Of an enemy.
Nor can the maritime cities or States exist
independent Of the good will and support of
the plantation and farming communities Of
the interior, an though we should assent to
an unnatural md reasonable separation
the generations that succeed Us would con-
tend for centuries to recover their rights till
conquest or annih. uation ends the struggle;
but no such result AN follow as the destfuo-
tion of the America a Government.
"The contest woul, be too terrible, the sac
rifce too momentous. The difficulties in our
path are too slight; the capacity of our
people too manifest an d the future too brill
iant, to justify foreb 2d5ngs or to excite
heightened by trial, an d the strength Of
every government must g tested by revolt
and revolution. doubt ot that the Provi--
dence of God, that has hith, .rt0 protected US,
will preserve us now and 70 rever."

by Daniel Dougherty, denying the right of.
secession, and recommending that the mill.
tary establishment of Pennsylvania be put
upon war footing, by the augmentation of
the present requirements, either by an in
crease of the militia or an appropriation.
Judge Lewis offered the other series, sup
porting the South, aud while denying the
right of secession, declaring it Wouid be
right to acknowledge their independence,
instead of waging unlawful war.
After an exciting debate on the two sets Of
resolutions they were referred to a commit
tee, to report on Saturday

Patterson to call meeting of the officers Of
his division, to adopt measures to increase,
the force and efficiency of the militia, was
