The Next Governor.
The importance of electing an honest, up
right and fearless man to the office of Governor
of the State, cannot be over-estimated. The
official term of Governor Curtin expires in
January, 1864, and his successor will be cho
sen at the next general election. It becomes
us, therefore, to make an early commencement
of the canvass us to the merits and claims of
those citizens upon whom party conventions
may probably settle as candidates for this high
and responsible office. That the next Governor
'will be a Democrat is beyond doabt. Hence
it behooves the Democratic people to look n
bout thcin with the purpose to Ecleet as their
standard bearer a man of intellect, personal in
tegrity and possessing the courage and manli
ness to stand up for the rights of the Common
wealth, and, at any peril, to put in practical
operation the principles which he will be cho
sen by the people to represent. Doubtless, (as
is always the case) sections and local interests
will present their favorites; cliques and factions
their pimps and parasites, corporations and
monopolies their tools and hirelings. But the
Democratic party should lop off all such un
healthy excrescences. The great political or
ganization which alone is able to save the wreck
•of our country, cannot afford to trifle and par
ley any longer for the sake of expediency. Nor
is it necessniy, in the remotest degree, that it
should do so. It has the confidence of the poo
plo, and it will bo sustained in Its boldest en
deavor and loftiest aim, if its action be intend
ed for the good of the country. Let us, then,
have the very best material brought forward
from which to choose the next Democratic gu
bernatorial candidate, and let us have tliat can
didate selected without rctcrcnce to any local,
corporation or class' interests, looking only to
his political standing and personal fitness as the
qualifications necessary to entitle him to the
nomination. The times demand a bold man
and n true. No mere politician will answer the
purpose. No mere office-seeker can lie tolera
ted. We want a man "who knows his rights,
and knowing, dares maintain them;" who un
derstands the duties of his office, and, appreci
ating the responsibility that rests upon him.
will have the nerve to discharge those duties,
without fear of popular clamor, without the
desire for popular favor and without affection
for any peculiar interest at war with the general
welfare of the State. Let the people consider and
choose with deliberation.
Governor's Message.
Wc publish, on our first page, the message of
.Governor Curtiti. It certainly compares most
favorably with that ot his would-be master, the
President. Besides refraining from that whole
sale slaughter of the King's English so charac
teristic of Mr. Lincoln's literary efforts, this
Slate paper of the Governor, is prepared with
some ingenuity, so far as regards its evident
purpose of concealing the true condition of our
finances and the state of flic country generally.
It is also quite regardful of that, staple commod
ity in the political market, "buncumbe," and
tries to tickle the fancy of the laborer, whose
bread has been taken out of his mouth by the
false pretences and wicked machinations of
Curtin s party. The soldier, too, has the sym
pathies of the Governor, and whilst lie is wil
ling to wait till Stanton gets quite ready to send
home the sick and wounded, lie urges immedi
ate action liy the Legislature to enable the. sol
diers to vote. Home and friends are all well
enough, and ought to he secured to the sick and
wounded, but the vote of the army, controlled
and managed by Abolition officers, is much
more important to—l lis Excellency. The mes
sage. says not one word about the negro or e
mancipution. How prettily the Governor snubs
"honest Abe!" How deftly our Executive shirks
the great issue put upon the country by his own
party! And what will his peculiar friends, the
emancipationists, say to his silence on their fa
vorite subject? \\ ill they take him to their cm
braces after getting the cold shoulder from him
in this most ungraceful style ? Wo shall see.
But the message nocds but little criticism. It
contains nothing new and repeats very little
f luit is old. Our readers can "take it to pieces"
without our assistance.

Comments of the Western (Opposition)
Press on the Proclamation of Emanci
pation.
liio Chicago 2tines J*nys:
"tub deed!
Jhe deed is done—the deed which unites
the people of tlio S<mth forever in their rebell
ion, and divides the people of the North as to
the further prosecution of the war—the deed
which converts the war from a constitutional
contest for the integrity of the Union to an un
constitutional crusade for the liberation of
three millions of negro barbarians and their en
franchisement as citizens—the deed which de
stroys the last hope of the preservation of the
old Government and inaugurates a future dark,
uncertain and dreary—the deed which is as un
warranted in military as it is in civil law, a
gainst the purposes of which the humanity of
Christendom will protest, and to avert the con
sequences ot which European powers will in
terfere. The deed is done. The craziest abo
litionism has achieved the very acme of its de
sires. The end for which the war was com
menced by the dominant party —the separation
of the Union and an armed anti-slavery cru
sade—has been reached. It is not a deed with
out a name. It will be known in all history
as the most wicked, atrocious and revolting
deed recorded in the annals of civilization."
The Indianapolis (Ind.J Sentinel closes an im
portant article as follows:
"If this act of usurpation passes unrebuked,
then we may bid farewell to constitutional lib
erty. The constitutional guarantees of person
al rights and personal liberty will not ha worth
the parchment upon which they are written.—
It is for the people to say Whether they will re
main free by repudiating this usurpation of pow
er, or by yielding to it, surrender personal lib
erty and the right of self government."
The Louisville (Ivy.) Democrat remarks:
"The President's Proclamation lias come to
hand at last. We scarcely know how to ex
press our indignation at this flagrant outrage
of all constitutional law, all human justice, all
Christian feeling. Gar very sotil revolts at con
templating an atrocity so heinous, and the feel
ing is intensified at the indelible disgrace which
it fixes upon our country. To think that we,
who have been the loremost in the grand march
of civilization, should bo so disgraced by an
imbecile President as to be made to appear be
fore the world as the encouragcr of insurrec
tion, lust, arson, murder! The peoplo have
condemned this in advance, and the President
has raised a storm that will overwhelm him.—
It is not in the rebellious States he has to
fear most, hut the true, loyal States will not
suffer their fair fame to lie stained by him. It
is not enough that Kentucky is exempt from its
force; not enough that it is ineffectual even in
the State it has reference to. The people can
not, in any State, bear to be so slandered by
one who usurps authority."
1 In another article it says:
"But we need not discuss the absurdity.—
After constitutional liberty lias been so long es
tablished—after it lias licen reduced to a science
1 —here comes a man supposed to have honesty
and capacity enough to ho elected President of
a Government of strictly limited powers, as
suming unlimited despotic, authority over States,
property and persons. This spectaelo will as
tonish llie civilized world. Our statesmen all
along supposed that States were real units, im
portant, indispensable parts of the Union, uid
that the reserved rights of the States were as
important as the rights of the Federal Govern*
mcnt. We are now startled with the announce
ment that the I'resident of this limited Govern
ment, who only has power to use force to exe
cute the laws of the Union, is, by this war pov
er, able to absorb all the powers of government.
Upon the same principle he can dispense with
Congress and with all State power.
"If our fathers really made such a Govern
ment. us this, they did it by mistake; they did
n't intend it. Their shades would startle and
quake, at the developments of the firstof Janua
ry, 18(511."
The Columbus [Ohio] Statesman says:
'tßut we have not time to dwell upon the in
consistencies and absurdities of this proclama
tion. Henceforth the war, which was avowed
ly commenced for the restoration of the Union
and the maintenance of the Constitutional rights
of all the States unimpaired, is to be, accord
ing to this Executive decree, a war for the
maintenance of negro freedom. For that pur
pose the army and navy of (he United States
are to be employed; the resources of the coun
try are. to be taxed, and the lives of our citizens
sacrificed for the sake ol securing the freedom
of negto slaves.
"If anything were wanting to crown the
folly and infamy of the present administration,
this proclamation caps the climax. It will lie
difficult for it to linda lower deep."
Not less than one thousand papers nnd or
gans of public opinion in the loyal States, will
hold similar language.
The Cincinnati Enquirer lias the following
Comments:
"In Lis Emancipation Proclamation tiio
President Ims attempted to do that which in the
most solemn and public manner lie had declar
ed that he did not intend, and had no right to
do under the Constitution. Upon his own
promises and declarations—upon his own vol
untary interpretation of the paramount law of
tiio land, he stands condemned. This no one,
who has any regard for his own reputation tor
veracity,can dispute. The President is, therefore,
wrong, either in affirming that lie had no right
to interfere with slavery, or in interfering with it ;
and this even his most zealous supporters must
per force confess.
"If the nine States in which the President
has declared slavery to be abolished are parts
of the Union, the only power which the Presi
dent lias within them is that which is given by
the Constitution. The only ground upon which
the warcan bo justified, and the only one thus far
set up for its jurisdiction, is that they are parts
of the Union, and that their people, in a state
of disobedience to the Constitution, must be
made to submit to its authority. As members
of the Union, slavery is entitled to remain in
tact therein, by the fact that the Constitution
gives neither the President nor any branch of
the Government any power over the domestic
relations of the. people.
"If the nine States are out of the Union, the
war is a war of conquest, carried on by one in
dependent nation against another. Wars of
con (pi est arc of more than doubtful justice,
and the sober judgment of mankind lias always
been against the State which, taking advantage
of the supposed weakness of another, has sought
to subdue it. In respect to such wars, there
are rules of conduct which national honor de
mands should be observed. One of the points
niL'dc in the Declaration of Independence—
and properly made—against the King of Great
Britain, ivas that lie had 'excited domestic in
surrections.' That which was an act of unex
ampled barbarity in a King, is it any the less
so when perpetrated by a President?"
Why Oppose the Proclamation?
The question is often asked by l.epublicans,
"why do you oppose President Lincoln's Proc
lamation of freedom fov the slaves ? As it is
sometimes asked in cana'or, wo make a candid
reply:
1. The Proclamation is it dangerous assump
tion of power by the President t. He lias not a
shadow of authority, either as a "war measure,"
or otherwise, to proclaim the freedom of the
slaves in the States. They arc property held
under State laws—held by loyal men as well as
rebels. The President lias precisely the same
authority to issue a Proclamation declaring that
all property has ceased to exist ami nliali not
hereafter be recognized. He can no more de
prive the loyal men of the rebel Slate.) of their
slaves, than of their horses, and cotton, and
lands. His constitutional power is the same
in both cases and is entirely -wanting in bath.
The claim to exorcise it. is but another of the
dangerous usurpations of Executive power put
forth under the false pretense that the Presi
dent may do aw/t/iinff to suppress tho liebeliion.
But if the President had constitutional j
authority to issue and enforce an Emancipation j
Proclamation, its exercise would tend to I
strengthen, rather than suppress, the rebellion, i
and would, therefore lie unwise. The proela- j
ination give? vigor to the war in every rebel!
State, !))• strengthening the hands of the insur- !
gents, crushing loyal men, and concentrating ;
the whole population in deadly hostility to the i
I inion. It interposes a barrier to peace, and a
restoration of the Constitution and the Federal
authority. 11? direct effect —if not its intent—
is to prevent a return to the Union as it was.
The- purpose, on the part of the Abolitionists
and the President, is to say that no Slate shall
now be permitted to lay down its arms and re
turn to the Union, except on the condition of
changing its domestic institutions and local
lafcs, and abolishing slavery. Will any State
consent to such an humilit&ting and unconstitu
tional exaction, so long as it lias a soldier to
send to the held ? Is it reasonable to expect—un
der such a policy—any end of the war, except
by the subjugation and extermination of the
Southern whites ! Does not the President's pol
icy entirely repudiate a restored Union, and
look to the alternative of extermination or sep
aration I Evidently the President and the rad
icals. by whom lie is controlled, have abandon
ed all idea of simply returning to the Constitu
tion and the Union of our fathers. Aboli
tion of negro slavery, or a division of the coun
try, is now their proclaimed purpose. The
proclamation means this, and nothing more or
less.
! Therefore, both on the score of power and
expediency, there arc ample reasons why loyal
and sensible men should regret and oppose the
President's proclamation.— Albany Argus.
Are We Fighting for a Debt?
j Ts RO, we shall be gratified in a proportion
not easily computed, and to an amount not
] readily to bo comprehended. Years ago the
I enormous debt of Great Britain startled the ty
j ro in arithmetic—the next generation are in
• the broad way of having something equally a
mazing to compare with i( in our own. For
if the debt of England is $-1,000,000,000, at
an average of about 8 per cent, interest, or
$1 20,000,000 a year, our own was,on the first
of July last, taking the message as authority,
in round numbers .$000,000,000
To which the Com. of Ways,
and Means purpose to add:
Honda (20 years G per cent). . $900,000,000
Treasury notes to be funded. . 140,000,000
Treasury notes at 0.17.1 per ct.
interest T 300,000,000
Legal tender (greenbacks). .. . 300,000,000
Shinplasters 50,000,000
In all, to Ist July 1803 2,21)0,000,000
which at an average interest of per cent.,
the most, favorable estimate that can by any
possibility be made of the rate, amounts to the
fabulous sum of $100,000,000 (one hundred and
six millions) a year, sufficient to purchase the
contents, land, men, women and chattels oi a
Southern state every half year. War is truly
an expensive luxury for the people, if it is glori
ous to tiiose individuals who use their official
positions to turn a penny for friends," like Mr.
Grimsley, Andrew J. Butler, Gen. Curtis or

Gon. Lee's Address to the Army.
liEAUQUAimats AHMY OF NoirniKKN- VA., /
December 31, 1862. J
General Order Mo. 138.
The general commanding takes this occasion
to express to the officers and soldiers of the ar
my his high appreciation of the fortitude, valor,
and devotion displayed by them, which, under
the blessing of Almighty God. have added tlie
victory of Fredericksburg to the long list of
their triumphs.
An arduous march, performed with celerity '
under many disadvantages, exhibited the disci
pline and spirit of the troops and their eager
ness to confront the foe.
The immense army of the enemy completed
its preparations for the attack without interrup
tion, and gave battle in its own time, and on
ground of its own selection.
It was encountered by loss than twenty thou
sand ot this brave army, and its columns, crush
ed and broked, hurled back at every point with
such fearful slaughter that escape from entire
destruction became the boast of those who had
advanced in lull confidence of victory.
That, this great result was achieved with a
loss in point of numbers, only augments the ad
miration with which the commanding general
regards the prowess of the troops, and increa
ses his gratitude to Iliin who hath given us the
victory.
The war is not yet ended. The enemy is still
numerous apd strong, and the country demands
of the army a renewal of its heroic efforts in
her behalf. Nobly lias it responded to her call
in the past, and she will never appeal in vain
to its courage and patriotism.
The signal manifestations of Divine mercy
that have distinguished the eventful and glori
ous campaign of the year just closing, give as
surance of hope that will insure the safety, peace
and happiness of our beloved country, and add
now lustre to the already imperishable name of
j the Army of Northern Virginia.

Message of the Governor of Kentucky.
LOUISVII.LE, Jan. o.—The Legislature of
Kentucky met at Frankfort yesterday. Gov
ernor Bobison's Message recommends that Ken
tucky reject the President's proclamation, and
protests against any interference with her State
policy as unwarranted by the Constitution
He thinks the proclamation giving freedom to
Jnf slaves in the rebellious States inflicts upon
Kentucky a fatal though indirect blow.
He. says that the saddest result of the Proc
lamation will be to fire the whole South with
one burning mass of inexhaustible hate, and
destroy all hope of restoring the Union, which
is only possible by adhering to the Constitution
as it was; and, further, that in view of this
most alarming act of military necessity, lie ad
vises tho Legislature to place on record their
protest against the Proclamation.
Tnr. Box AFIAIXST THE COMET —Wo have it
at last! The President proclaims freedom to all
tho slaves whom lie cannot roach, and who
cannot reach him 1 recommending them, how
ever, to make a virtue of necessity, and keep
quiet. All the slaves in Georgia, South Car
olina, &e., where the Confederates are undistur
bed by the presence of Federal armies, are pro
nounced free! Tliev are really free, if there is
any truth in the Proclamation; and yet wc
suppose, they "don't see it," and indeed lor that
matter, we don't either. The slaves in Missou
ri, Kentucky, Tennessee, Man-land, and parts
l)i' Virginia and Louisiana, where we have la.:- <
kriicicp, and where the Proclamation might be j
Dade effective, are not pronounced free! Mr. '
Lincoln virtually says. "Where I can't reach |
the slave to help him, [ will help him; whore 1 i
tan help liim, 1 won't." In other words, those |
tiro declared forever free whom circumstances |
more powerful than the President declared to j
he forever slaves : while those whom circum
stances favor, as to freedom, are left in their
bondage! What philanthropy!
And then, there is another view to be taken
pf the matter. Tho President lias been assu
ring t lie people of the. slave States, with appa
rent sincerity, that bv giving liberty to their
inegroes they would greatly benelit themselves;
Indeed, that lie was almost solely actuated, in
Ibis anti-slavery crusade, by a desire to improve
■their condition. Yet when the time for action
comes, he confers his blessing upon tlic disloyal
and withholds It from the loyal slave States!
But no matter. While the Proclamation reach
es but few and very small districts over which
we are now exercising civil or military jurisdic
tion, it plainly declares that every advance of
our armies shall be for the negro, and the ne
groc's benefit. Except so far as the war is de
fensive, it is henceforth to be a negro war 1
Ought not the anti-Union-ncgro-worsliippers to
be expected to do the rest of the lighting ? Is not.
this just tho time /or Greeley's nine hundred
thousand to flock to the field, and allow all
those Democrats whom this Greeley every day
denounces as traitors, to come home ?
This is a great nation. We have a great
President. We are doing a great business. "On
