SUPREME EXECUTIVE COUNCIL.
Upon which the following message, accompanied by sundry ori- hal papers, was presented by the Secretary.
Message from the President and the Supreme Executive Coun- cil, to the General Assembly.
GENTLEMEN :- The Secretary will lay before you a letter from e President of Congress of the second instant, letters from the elegates of this State of the twenty-fifth and twenty-eighth of st month, and of the second and twenty-fourth of this, with our swer to that of the twenty-eighth, and also letters from Messieurs atterson and Meade, and one from Captain Schrawder.
By the answer just mentioned, you will perceive the steps we ve taken in pursuance of the resolution of the General Assembly the last session, of the twenty-fifth of September, respecting In- an affairs.
The late election in Northumberland has been so irregular, that e have not issued a commission to any person as Sheriff of that unty, nor have we determined which of the gentlemen returned Councillors shall take his seat at our Board. We did not chuse make a hasty decision, and as double returns were made to us of embers of Assembly, we were desirous of avoiding an encrease of pence, and at the same time of corresponding as much as possi- e with your Honorable House in the measures to be adopted for staining proper evidence.
Some directions should be given concerning the public storehouse Lancaster, and the Barracks there, and those near this city, and e should be glad if you would be pleased to consider to what use ey can now be applied most advantageously for the State.
Gentlemen, as the Pennsylvania line have, with a virtue and rtitude that are an honor to their country, so highly contributed the establishment of the freedom, peace, and sovereignty which is Commonwealth now enjoys, and it becomes a just and grateful pople to acknowledge and reward eminent benefits, we wish the anks of the State might be given to them for their faithful ser- ces ; and we are convinced that a declaration of the public senti- ent and esteem, authenticated and dignified by the approbation ad concurrence of your Honorable Body, would afford them a most ncere satisfaction.
