In selecting site for a Natioua AFmory If
The pubic good be alone considered, Pennsyi-
vania will be preferred, as she affords the GEM
.bined adNaRt ages OF central position, abaa-
dance sterial and skilled mechanics, and a
people Of nnd3nbted loyalty
commend 10 the attention of The Legisla-
ture the report Of fthe Superintendent Of the
Public schools, the fourishiag state OF which
aud the rapid progress of education are subjects
ofjust coggfataEation.
TheHeports Of the Lunaiic Hospital at Har4

House Of Refuge at Philadelphia and Fittsburg,
otthe institutions tor the Daa6esud Dumb ana
for the Blind and the northern home foF4 riea1-
less Children at Philadelphia, and Of The Pena-.
sylvania Training School for I!iotic and Feeble
Minded Children at Media, show that these
meritofioas charities a4s.s well ADMIN; stefed,
and I recommend that the CountanaRce ard aid
Of the Commonwealth be eonIidhed.to tAaeT.
Under the joint resolutions Of P6th May last,

of the LegislaWre. Considering, Ihe gsat !abss.i
imposed on fIiem, and the vast importance az
the present time OF an able and efficient per

suggest thatthe compensation provided for by
the joint resolutions should be Increased TO edf

Pennsylvania has made great efforts to sup
port the Government. She has gwen more and
better clothed, and better squiPpep men than
any other State, and has far exceeded her quota
Of the military levies. The sons ofour best cit-
izens, young men of education and means fill
the ranks Of her volunteer regiments. Their
gallant conduct, whenever an opportunity has
been afforded to them, has done honor to
The Commonwealth. The universal movement
among our people, signifies that they are loyal
% the Government established By. their father,
and determined TO quell the present nsurrec-
ion and preserve the Union, and that they
will not tolerate.any plan for either the dissolo-
