.rfc I'URIFIEH of tho blood, nnd a restorer ofo - al^slructcd secretions. An invaluablu Medicino lor tho cure of Dyspnpsia, Liver Uomploints onb Llhronie diseases generally.
It is a well established fact that all diseases proceed from a bad slate of the blood or from an obstruction of one ol ihc secretions ofour bodies. The Elixir from a very happy combination of medicines, has this most delighlful property of operoting mildly on all ihe iiii- portaiil secretions ofour bodies, opening them when obstructed, and ini igoraling them when sluggish or debilitated : purifying tho blood when vilialcd, ami expelling from the* blood all noxious and olVumlinii agents, and thus gently ossisting nature in overcom¬ ing the causes Ihat oppress her. Il ojicralos inil.;ly on tho bowols thereby removing every offensive mal¬ lei that may be lodged in them or gently stimulaliiig them when languid or debililaled. Thua inca|.;ulr.- blo advantagrs may be derived from it in all diseases originating in debility, or a depraved, loaded condition 0. the sloiiiiich and bowels.
Of ils ulility in Dysentery and Diarrhmawe aro able from a very extJiisive experience to speak with tho greatest confidence. Its immediate cU'ects ure tn tranqnitizt the stomach, to check the TOtnititiff, allay the g-yipiiiQ (jnins, relieve the ejccessive purifintf and in the gonernlily of casos, it arrests the progress of the disease in o feiv hours—Cholera, Diarrhuia. Summer Complaint, Sec, &c antt all tho bowel and stomach complaints, depending upon a similar cause for its or¬ igin, aro very early arrested and complelcly cured by ho administraiion of thia lilixir. In Dyspepsia ils powers are no less surprising and beneficial (to the Dyspeptic il may truly deserve tho appelaiion ofa mat/num donvni Dei, a great gift from Cod.)

Fellow Cit!ZKN3;—In Iranaiiiillin),' tli« an nusil message lo the General Assembly aci'or- iling lo usage anil the direclions oflhe Coii- Biilnlion, I alioulil do injustice to my owti feelings, if, in addressing yuu on llie slale of the Commonwealih, I slioulil omit looirermy oongratulalions upon ils prosperous and truly flourishing condition.
Pennsylvania h.is reauhed an eminence moral ami physical, which leaves her second to no slale in the union. Her wealth, lier en¬ lerprize, aid licr recenl system for tlio attain- menl uf knowledge, have elevated her cliarae¬ ler abroad, and given her sirenglh and dignity al heme. Her e.xlenpivo lines of Kail Kiiads anil Caiial-f, her ample and steadily increasing reveiuirs, in conneclion with her agrieuluirai, niainificiiiriiig and mineral productions, will, in a short period of lime, have ihrown around Iter a power ai:(! an energy commensurate with all lier future schemes of physical and intellectual improvement, with the coiisumma lion of every project wliicli lier eomiiuTcia interests in honorable rivalry with neighbor ing stales may demand, or the requisitions of an ciiliglileiied public policy may render it expedient for her lo accomplish. Much lias been done by her within a few years; much still remains for her to du; and that ahe may be enabled lo reach the acme of wealth and power, which v\ill leave her without a rival, and lo which she musl eventually aUaiu, her march musl still be onward. Nothing can slop her in her career to pre-eminence, sliorl ofa mercenary spirit, wliiclu if indulged now that a solid foundalion for such a superstruc¬ ture has been successfully laid, would he l.i her future prospects, what blasting and mil¬ dew lo the exneclations of the farmer, whose crop, upon which he has bestowed much la¬ bor, has been visited by their withering inllu¬ ence. 'J'hero can be no reasonable cause for further procraslinalion—the means are al hand; and the whole scheme of improvement as orig¬ inally conlemplaled, may be accomplished in less lime, and al less cost now, than it could be executed for at a more remote period.
The measures adopied for esiablishing the credit ofthe Commonwealih have been atlen¬ ded with the happiest effects. When her loans are now offered in the market, they nev¬ er fail to commanil active compelilion anil high premiums. Her public stocks inspire confidence, biitli al liome and abroad ; and from the passing of the act of March 1830, author¬ izing a loan of four millions of dollars, down lo thai oflhe 13tli of April lasl, tlirecting the borrowing of nine hundred and. fifty nine thousand si.x hundred dollars, there has been bul one solitary check lo her prosperous career in her extensive monied transactions, atid that was bul of momentary duralion. : The loan lasl menlioned, was negotiated in the usual manner, under the usual notice, aud was awarded lo the Uanlcuf Pennsylvania, at a premium of twelve dollars and two cents upon every one hundred dollars of slock, bear- iut' an interest of five per cent, per annum ; in olher words, the Bank pays to the slate one hundred and fifteen thousand, tiiree hundred and forly threo dollars and ninety-two cents, for ihe privilege of loaning her nine hundred and fifty-nine thousand, si.K hundred dollars, for thirty years, at the rale of inlerest just menlioned. The correspondence in relation lo this loan will be laid before you.
Since the commencement of the inlernal improvement policy, adopted by the slale in 182G lo tlie preseni period, we have expended ill the construction of canala and rail roads, twenty-two millions, four hundred aud twenty thousand, and three dollars and thirty-two cenls. The whole of this sum has been bor¬ rowed al an inlerest of five per cent, per an¬ nnm, and has yielded lo the Trea.sury in pre¬ miums upon ihe respeclive loans, au aggre¬ gate ofone million, threo hundred and fifty six thousand, six hundred and fifty-three dol¬ lars and thirty six cenls. Of this sum, one million, two hundred and ninety eight thous¬ and, two hundred and seventy eight dollars and ihirly six cents wero received upon loans ncgociated since the eighieenih day of Decem¬ ber 1820, and regularly applied in aid of oth¬ er funds appropriated lo the same object, to the payment of inlerest accruing upon the public debl.
We are indebted for these auxiliary supplies lo the well established credit of the Slale and the well grounded confidence reposed in il.s characteristic punctuality, as well as its un¬ questioned ability lo meet all its engagements, and which enabled us lo execule one of the boldest designs, and lo consummate one of the must stupendous works of art known among the achievements of modern times.— Without the aid of these annual advances up¬ on our loans, tho Stale would have been driv¬ en to ihe necessity of borrowing sums equiv¬ alent to the premiums received, lo meel the inlerest upon its debl, which would have been a policy at once deslruclive of its financial in¬ terests and Ialal to its credit; or a resort must havo been had to oppressive taxation, neither of which measurps, ilis believed, would have been sanctioned by the people, and conse- qnendy the prosecution ofthis greal public wurk must have ceasid, and the benefils al¬ ready realized, as well as the solid advanlages which they hold out, in prospect of which no jusl estimate can be formed, wuuld have been lost to the public.
The effect, however, produced by establish¬ ing a permanent fund for the payment of in¬ terest, by imposing a light lax, and the pros¬ perous condilion of the commonwealth during the prosecution of the public works, which was produced principally by the expenditure oflhe large sums of money in their construc¬ tion, has enabled us lo comploto in about eight years of aclive exertion, six hundred and one and a quarler milea of canal and slack water navigation, and one hundred and eighteen miles and ihrce quarters of rail-way, making an aggregate of seven h-jndred and twenty miles of improvements, lo which may be ad¬ ded seven and a halfmiles of extension on the West Branch of the Susquehanna, authorized by act of the laat aeasion, four of which are now in navigable order, and the residue, 1 am informed, will be finished during the current yoar.
A state of peace and unexampled prosperi. ly, uombined wilh judiciouii measures lo in¬ spire publiis confidence,  hayo enabled  us lo^ coiipumtnale a work so lillle burdensome lo the
admiration and pride of ihis and succeeding general ions.
It will be fyiind upon reference lo the re¬ cords ofthe auditing deparlment, llial the taxes paid into the State Treasury, under the sov¬ oral acts of the 25ih of .Vlarcli, 18:51, entilleil respectively, "An acl for assessing a tax on personal properly to be collecled wilh the eounly rates and levies for the use of th" com¬ nionwcallh," up lo the lirst of November of the preBciil year, a period of about four years and eiglil months, amounted to seven hundred and forly one thousand five hundred and fifiy seven dollars and ninety eight cenls, making the average amount paid annually upon the perifonal and real estato wiihin tho eoinmon¬ wcalih, ahout ono hundred and fifty-eight thousand nine hundred and five dollars and twenty eight cenls. This sum divided among the whole lax-paying pnpulalion of Pennsyl¬ vania, annually for ihe period I have iiieii- lioiied, has constituted the whole burden wliich ihe extensive line of public improve¬ menis has iiifiioled upon the peoplo of this greal and opulent Slate, There aiO, however, arrearages of those taxes still oiilslandiiig, which will doubtless be collected and jiaiil into the Treasury in due lime.
The amoiiiii of tolls for llie fiscal year eni.'- ing on the illsl day ofOctober last, were es¬ timated by the accounting officers, in iheir lasl annual reporl, at seven hundred thousand dollars ; the actual receipli into the Treasury have fallen short of that estimate, however, aboul rifieen thousand six hundred and forty two dollars and twenty three oenis, llie amount actually received, being six hundred and eighty four ih.iusand three hundred and fifty- seven dollars and seventy seven cents, exceed¬ ing the receipts of the preceding yoar, three hundred and seventy four thousand, five hun¬ dred and sixty eight dollars and sixty twn cenls.
It is estimated thai the revenues arising frotn tho public improvemonls alone, for the current year, will not fall short of, bul in all probability, will exceed a million of duliars, wliich, with the oiilslandiiig taxes supposed to amount lo aboul three hundred and ten thousand dollars ; the ordinary revenues aris¬ ing from olher sources applicable lo the same object, and the premiums upon loans should il be deemed oxjjodient lo borrow money for further extensions of the public works, will be suflicient lo liquidate all the claims for in¬ terest and the ordinary expenses of the gov¬ eriiinenl, without the necessity of having re¬ course lo other means to meet lliose objects.
Having found the Commonwealih involved in pecuniary einbarrassmonls al the lime the adininislralion ofils affairs was commitlod lo my rare, which lefl me no alternative other than an appeal to taxation, which is always odious to the people, or an immediate aban¬ donment of a greal and most imporlant public enlerprize in whicii the slate had engaged, up¬ on which she had  already expended a large
amount of money, and had contraclod for the              	
expenditure of many millions more, and hav- to our citizens generally, there would be din¬ ing met the emergency anil taken the course covered many new sources of wealth in Iheir to which my duty to llie slate, its interest mines and their quarries, which lie concealed audits character pointed,  bul which placed  from them now, but which the measure  pro-

Whilst oil this subjecl, permit me also to suggest the propriely of authorizing a furtliec rcciiiiniiisaiice lo a.-iccrtaiii the praclicabilily of a roule for a canal, Irniii somn point on the Wesl Uranch of the Sii.s(|iieliaiiiia to conned willl the French Creek lii vision, and by that Division ullinialely wii'a the harbor of Lake Erie.
It hits been a subject of regrei with many of our scientific, and palriolic citizena, that legislaiive allenlion bad not long since been directed to the oxpedicucy of authorizing i» Geohigie-al mul .lliiiKralngical survey of this slale. Abounding aa il is known to do, in every variety ol" iniiicral wealth, such a sur¬ vey would bo of incalculable value in still furUier developing the hidilcu resources of our prolific and opujoiil Cuiiiinonwoallh. The iliscovpries whieh have already been made, accidentally ai.l wiihoul the aid of scientific examination, strongly indicate the immense advanlages that might be expected from a lliiiroiigli Geological exidoralion.—Our slate is emphatically tho cenlre or heart of ihe Union. She has made and is slill making, either in her own right, or by delegating au¬ thority for that purpose lo others, rapid atl- vances in the conslruclion of Canals and Rail Roads, which are the gioat arluriea ihrough which, by nieans of other o'roat channels of communication wiih which ilicy eilher arii or will be connected, iiicalciilalile iniHiono of Ions ofour mineral ami agriculliiral pro'luc- liona will ullinialely be traiiaported lo every extremily of our exionsivo country. Here llien I might Slop, and rest the propriety of llie measure upuu the additional priiductive- iiess it would ocirasioii lo ili.it source of public wealth and revenue. Uul there are olher considerations of paramount importance which afl'ect iho iiileiesis of the farmer, iiianufa';lit- rer and the citizen, and which wouhl render such a measure still more highly beneficial; to the former, il would unfold tho localities in which are 'coiilainetl mineial sublance.s pregnant with those manuring and fertilizing qnalilios which would enable him lo reclaim and enrich his soil; lo the manufacturer thera wouhl be developed and applied to their proper uses that endless variety of ores, sands, clays, and otlier materials so es.sonlial to the profitable prosecution   of his  businoss; and
me in the unenviable situation of being the lirst Chief Magistrate to recommend a slale lax for any purpose, I rejoice thai the affairs oflhe Commoiiwealih have been brought to an issue so pto.iperous, during iho conlinuance of my adminislralion, as to enable me to bu ihe first also lo announce lo the   Reprosenla-
[losed would enable them to realize and con¬ vert to profilablo and valii;ible uses. This subjecl might be enlarged upon ; but it may be siitficienl to add, that if such a survey was authorized and carried successfully into efl'ect it would have a tendency greatly lo increase the value of our soil;  il would add largely to
lives oflhe people, and  to our common con-iim productiveness, and thai of our Canals and stituenu, the cheering inleliigence which will I Ijaihvays ; it   would   elevate  still   more the
nol be more grateful lo them than il is lo my sc-lf, that further taxation for slale purposes will nol be required ; and ihal the several acls of the '25111 March, 1831, fnr assessing a lax on personal properly, and for increasing the county rales and levies for the use of the Cominonwoalth, may, willioul injury lo the public inleresls, be permillcd lo expire by their own respeclive limitations. And here permil me to remark, that so far from this ad¬ ministration being obnoxious lo the iin;,.-cner- ous char;,ro ;-f iiaving involved the slale in in¬ extricable ruin, by plunging it into an oner ous and overwhelming debt, for tho payment ofwhieh, the hard earnings of its citizens of every grade and condition, will, from liino lo lime, be filched from them, il will soon be made manilest, thai a fund has been secured to the Commoiiwelih, proceeding from the very iinprovomenls for which the debl was conlracted, which will nol only relieve iis cit¬ izens from fulure taxation, as well for pay¬ ment of inlerest as for other slate purposes ; but will enable the Government, at no distanl day, to establish a sinking fund I'or the liqui¬ dation of the debl itself, which, if steadily and faillifully applied lo that object, will at no very reniole period place the slale in tho en¬ viable condition of posse.ssing an annual rev¬ enue of several millions of dollars, at the same time that it will have been enlirely exonerated and discharged from all its debls contracted for tho purpnses of internal iinprovcmenls.
Tho condition of lliu coiiimoiiwpaltli, in re¬ gard to iho revenues, produced by her public works, presenting an aspect so prn.sperous ; it would seem llial the period has arrrived when there ought lo be no furlhor impedi¬ ment lo their ext'jnsioii, to such points as give the greatest promise ofu.sefuliicss in aironling facililies lo our internal commerce, and in rendering more profilablo the works already fini.ihed. Among these the extension from the weslern lerinination oflhe Pennsylvania canal, lo the harbor of Lake Erie, by such roule as will all'ord die greatest lacilities in il.s conslruclion, as well as ensure the mosl conslanl supply of the uocessary element lo make it aiisvi'or the greal and important ends I for which it will have been designed ; presents strong claims, which oughl, in my opinii'n, to be no longer postponed. Equally impor¬ tant 10 the inicicsts of the slale, and oflhe people of a large and interesting district of counlry, is ihe project of carrying ihe canal from ils lormiiialion al the inouih oflhe Lack¬ awanna creek, up the norlh branch of Ihe Susquehanna, lo the line dividing the slales ofPeniisylvania and New York, lo intersect the Elinira Canal and Ilhica Ruil Road now iu operation in that slain. The completion of bolh improvemonts at the carliesl period pos¬ sible is highly important—whilst the trade of the Lakes, oflho Territory of Michigan, ihe slates of Ohio, Illinois and others oflho wi's- itru and soulh weslern   stales will find  vtiii
character of our state ; it would promole the cause of :*cieiice, and lor a comparatively iri- fliuT expenditure, we should secure a denser pnpulalion and add incalculably to our indi¬ vidual and general prosperity.—Peniiit me then lo recommend this important measure lo your oarly attonlion. The work might progress gradually ; an annual sum, such as ihe Treasury could spare without irijiii=y io other iui.-iieuia, mighl bo appropriated for ihis object iinlil it shall have been completed.— Several ofour sislerslnloii are engaged in thu.<i exploring thoir hidden resources. One of them, iMas.sachiisotls, has liuislied her survey, and is now realizing the advantages resulting from il—a few years, and I trusl Pennsylva¬ nia will bo doing likewise.
In pursuance of tho provisions ofan act of the General Asseiiihly, passed at iheir last session, the people of this slalo have recently decided a queslion, which has for a consider¬ able lime past agilaled the public mind, by casting their voles fur or againsl the call ofa Conventiiin lo aiiiend the conslilulion; the fundameiilal law Ujioii whicll their government and all their civil and, I may add, llioir reli- ligious iiisliliitiiins rest, and hy which they have for the lasl forty live years heen protect¬ ed. Their ducisimi is iiiidci'siood to have re¬ sulted ill favor of a (.!onvenlion, by a very decided majorily of the votes given in refer¬ ence lo that meusure; and whatei'or opinion! may have been heretofore eiitenainod by any of us upon that .subject. It becomes our duly nuw, to bow tu the will of the people so une¬ quivocally expressed, audio lako ihe neccs. sary sleps to carry it into eff'.ct.
After asceriiiiniiig officially, therefore, the stale of the vote in relaliiin_^ lo the call of a Convention, if it should liint out as it is be¬ lieved to be, ill favor of ihal ineastire, you will doubdosa perceive the iiecp.isily nf making provisiiin by law for romjdying wiih the e.x. pressed will oftho majorily at as early a pe¬ riod as possible, by fixing upon the limo, place and maunor of holiliiig and conducling lliu elections for the choico of delegaii a ihroughout the slato, as well aa tho time and placo of their inecling for carrying into efl'ect the objecls for which ihey shall have boon locled.
