PITTSTON, PA., FRIDAY, JANUARY 26, 1855. THE PITTSTaM 8AIETTE. To the BiilsneN* Public fottrj. States arid nations ; more potent in its energy to uphold the institution* of freedom and the rights of man, than nrmie* and navies in their proudest strength. pnoteot the country from tho disastrous consequences of improvident banking.— An extraordinary and unnecessary increase of b«nka and banking facilities, in seasons of genera! prosperity, leads to extravagant and ruinous speculation. Such, increase in times of commercial distress, aj»i»ravate« and proi-xig* the evils it was designed to remedy. Entertaining these views, I will not hesitate to sanction the re chartering of ola and aolvent banks which, by prudent and careful management, and an honest adherence to the legitimate purposes of their creation, have merited and received (ha confidence of the public. Nor will I refuse to sanction the corporation of new bank*, when indispensably necessary and clearly demanded by the actual business wants of the community in «D hich they may be located. To no other, and under no other circumstances cau I yield the Executive consent. the laws of God, and iho moral sentiment of the people j and in a reproach to the ago in whiuh we litre. A stringent and oompreherwite lew, remedial in its provis. inns, and vindicating the great law of the Sabbath, in its physical and moral relations to man, is required, not only by the moral sense of the oommunity, but would be jus titled by every sentiment of humanity, ev. ery consideration of philantlirophy, every impulse of pure and genuine patriotism. The history of intemperance is written In tears and blood. Taupcrism, taxation and oriine follow in itstruin. A remedy should be applied ; and public sentiment, with the lull force of its moral sanction, will approve all prudent and constitutional legislation on this subject. The pardoning power—the harmonious blending ol mercy and juotice in our Constitution—will be exercised with a just reyard to both these important principles.— With every desire to extend mercy to the unfortunate and repentant transgressor, justice, in her stern demands, will not be overlooked by the pardon of the vicious and hardened criminal. This power ha» been conferred on the Executive, not to overthrow the administration of justice, but to aid and promote it. It should be exercisf d with great caution, and only upon the most satisfactory assurance that it its due to the condemned, and that the rights security of the public will not be prejudiced by the act. To prevent the abuse of Ibis power, and to protect the Executive fr in) imposition, notice of the intended op plication should be published in the city or county where the trial and conviction took place. who have gone before us, and the woichword and hope of millions now, arid will be of millions yet unborn. . D Id many questions of National and truly American polity—th* due protection of American labor and industry against tha depressing influence ol foreicn labor and capital ; the improvement of our harbors and river* ; the National defences i th» ' equitable distribution ol the proceeds'of she pnbiic lands among the Slates. in aid of education, and to relieve from debt nnd taxation; a judicious "homestead bill;" reform in the natUraJizalkm laws; and the protection of our country 1h® immigration and importation of foreign paupers and convicts—in all the**, no n» a btule and people, are deeply interested ; and to their adoption and protnotiou every encouragement should be fiiven. To tlie people of my native Slate, who have called me to preside over her destinies, 1 return the tribute of mv warmest (rralitudo tor the honor conferred ; and mv pledge to them this day iV, that " I wiil iry" to realize iheir expectations, and not betray their confidencc. In assuming thn responsibilities of this high cffice; I would bo false to myself and to the feelings that now opp/fss me, should 1 hesitate to affirm my unaffected distrust iu mv ability to dis oh.irf•• iiiv appropriate duties in a mannei c immensurate with their importance. 1 1 cannot secure, 1 will labor to deservi the confidence cixi approbation of oj." f-' low citizens, I dD not expect**'. \ hope, lo escape censure -ore I will strive to avo AND THE tubscriber takes tl.ismethod lo inform the public that he ha* located in Pittston, Pa., for the purpose of making collection* doe on paper, rente, CfDc., sod also act ae agent for the sale of Real Estate" and attend to any biiiDiiie»s that he may be entrusted with.

In the performance of the dutiea now devolved upon me, it will be my desiri* to aid, by all constitutional and legal means, the development of the resources of the State ; and to encourage and promote hC*r agricultural, mining, niaritifhcturing and commercial interests. A kind Providenoe lias bestowed upon us, with a liberal hand, nil the elements of wealrti and greatness. Our valleys and plains offer thf-ir fertile soil to the plough of the husliundman, and reward with their rich products his hnnoru ble toil. Our inexhaustible coal field® ; our rich iron deposits ; limestone every, where, and just where most required ; the interminable forests, and our gushing streams, all invite the energy and enter prise of our citizens to the development of their treasures, and promise a rich reward to their labors. The smoke of our furnaces, the crash of our rolling mill ; the hum of the spindle, and the din of the workshop, attest the energy and mnnufao•tiring skill of our people ; and whilst the plough, the loom and the anvil unite in ho pioiluctiou of wealth, commerce, bv her avenues, is bearing their vilual.le and abundant products to our marts of trade. Amidst all these great interests, in their rapid and almost romantic d vol ipment, it is a mstter of congratulation that agriculture, in its various departments. has aWakened public attention to its importance, and claimed and received from science the tribute of its aid. Pennsylvania, so deeply interested in the success Of her agricultural industry, cannot bo indifferent to the laudable efforts now making :o perfect and advance this first and noblest pursuit of man. This and all other branches of industry, should receive tho fostering care and encouragement of the Government.

To enjoy them is our privilege, to maintain them our duty. Civil and religious liberty —freedom of speech, and of the press, tiie rights of conscienoe, and the of worship—are the birthright and the boajt of the American citizen. No royal edict, no pontifical decree can restrain or desiroy them. In the enjoyment of these blessings, the rich and the poor, the high ami the low meet together—the constitution, in its full scope and ample development, shields arid protects them all. When these rights are assailed, these privilegos endangered, ei. ther by mad ambition, or by influences foreign fo the true interests of the Nation, and at war with lova of country-~-that noble impulse of (he American heart, which prompts it to revpre home and native land as sacred objects of its affect ions-—it is then !lie ballot boxj in its omnipotence, speaking in thunder tones the will of the people, rebukes the wrong, and vindicates the freedom of the man—the i(idepe.ndei,oe ol the citizen. To the American people have these blessings been committed as a sacred trust ; they are, and ever must be, their guardians and defenders. The American citizen, independent aud free, uninfluenced by partir.an attachments, unawed by ecclesiastical authority Or ghostly in'olerance—in the strength of tearless manhood, and in the bold assertion of his rights—should exhibit to the world a living illustration of the superior benefits of American republicanism; proclaiming a true and single allegiance to his country, and to no other power than " the Uod that makes and preserves us as a nation."

All classes of society, and every branch of industry, in their varied interests and ecu- Domical relations, are interested in securing and maintaing a safe circulating medium. T-D accomplish this result, wise and prudent legislation is necessary. The cPeaiun of a well regulated and carefully guarded system of bunking, is not only sound policy, but beneficial to tho legiti male trade and commerce of tho country, and aids in developing her great natural and industrial resources. Our present system of banking, with the limitations, restriction*, and liabilities, individual nnd otherwise, imposed by law on these institutions, has become the settled policy of the State. The checks and guards thrown around them should not be lessened or removed. Their own safety, und the security of the public requires their continuance.It is vain to hope for • reduction of the debt, ami relitT frOnt taxation, without a Halo of the whole, or part of'lhe public improvements.

Notice of numerous intended application* :o the Legislature Tor new banks, an increase of banking capital and savings institutions, ha# been Riven as requirod by the constitution. Without desiring to as sume a hostile attitude towards all brinks, the propriety of Incorporating all tliut mny be called for, %nder the notice uiven, can not be justified or defended. The ejttrav. agant, improper or unrensonahle increase of banks and banking capital, is not demanded by the wants of tha .community, and will not and oan not be sanctioned by the Executive. The present commercial and financial embarrassment of the country ( the depressed state of trad« ; all past experience, and the more recent experience ol some crt our sister Slates, as seen in their ruined banks and depreciated currency, demonstrate the necessity ol legislating oautiousiy and prudently, on this subject. The number of banks, a»Ci consequently the amount of banking capital abould be limited to, and nejolated by, the proper demands of active and healthy trade, and the actual business wants and necessities of tha community.

Ignorance is not tho mother of patriotism or of republics. It m the enemy and destroyer of both. Education, in ha enlightening, elevating;, reforming influences, in the fnll power of its benifi cent result*, should be encouraged by the State. Not that mere intellectual culture that leaves the mind a moral waste, unfit to understand the duties of the man, or citizen, but that higher education, founded upon, direoted and controlled by sound and elevated moral principle—that recog. nises the Bible as tbe foundation of true knowledge, as the tsxt-book alike of the child and the American Statesman, and as the great charter and bulwark of civil and religious freedom.
