The Governor's Message.
We publish, on our first page, the Governor's
Message, to the exclusion of much other useful
matter. Speaking in a mere literary point of
view, it is well written ; and some of its rec
ommendations are eminently just and proper.
The Governor informs us that the State debt
has been reduced, by the operations of the sink
ing fund, s£So i,720 40; and that the Treasury
has redeemed from the Ist day'of December,
1802, to tho 30tb day of November, 1863, the
sum of §951,617 01; still leaving the total
indebtedness (including tho "Military Loan" of
83,000,000,) remaining on the first day of De
cember, 18G3, 830,496,596 78. This is, no
doubt, the amount of the State debt—so far as
it has been audited. But how much docs tho
State'owe, besides, of claims that have not yet
been ascertained? It is true this is almost im
possible to ascertain ; but we venture a "guess,"
that it would swell this amount to a much lnr
figure. The governor evidently has some
suspicion of this, for, ho says that, "although
our finances arc still in a healthy condition, it
ii' necessary to invite the serious attention of
the Legislature to the consideration of the means
of maintaining them unimpaired in the future."
It has heretofore been the law to pay tho in
terest on the State debt in specie, or its equiv
alent Tbo Message recomfnends that this law
be repealed; and thinks that, "The Common
wealth will have fulfilled her obligations by
providing for the payment of her interest in the
currency of the Government." By the "cur
rency of the Government," the Governor means
"greenbacks," of course. This, wo think,
would be maintaining our "Finances unimpaired
in the future" with a vengeance. There could
be no surer plan adopted to injure tho credit of
the State. The fluctuation of the "currency
of the government," would at once—the mo
ment such a law passed—cause a fall in our'
State stocks sufficient to impair our credit almost
permanently. But enough, in regafd to the
finances; the people will understand this sub
ject better when they come to consider Pennsyl
vania's proportion of the National Debt
Further on, the Governor says:
"I recommend that tho proposed amendments
lothe Constitution, giving to citizdhs in the pub-
He service out of the State, the right to vote,
be passed promptly and submitted to a vote of
the people at ns early a day as possible, so that
such citizens may exercise their right to suffrago
at all future elections. This would be only
doing justice to tho brave raon who are periling
their lives in our defence."
This is a recommendation to which we would
gladly agree, if we were sure that soldiers out
of the State would bo allowed (• vote thfir sen
timents ; and the whole army, under its military
discipline, not be converted into one vast "Vot-1
ing machine," in order that they may finish with J
the ballot in Pennsylvania and other frco states,
what they have already begun with the bayonet,
(under orders, of course) in Maryland, Kentucky
and Missouri. If the army is to bo forced
to vote on the side tbe party in power requires
them to, they, in She field, and away from all
tbe civil affairs of life, will soon become ths
rulers of those who till the soil to feed them,
or throw the shuttle to clothe them. We must
say, that laying atido all political prejudices,
vrs ore opposed to the principle of allowing
man to vote, out of the State, on any pretext
whatever. We believe in the doctrines of our
earliest statesmen: that a standing army is
dangerous to a Republic. Auil further believe,
that giving eoidiers ths power to vote, only
doubles the danger. There is only one view of
tbe matter in which we can agree with the
Governor and that is in a financial point of
view. It would save tlw expense of bringing
them horn to vote for such men as he, for such
responsible positions as be new occupies. But
we intend to disease this subject further here
after, and, therefore, shall merely review tbe
■set of the Message, and oonclude this article.
Siena the commence meat of the war, tbe old
Commonwealth, baa sent into the somce, at
Afferent time*, the vast army of 277,409, men i
and yet, "The Government," like tho insatiable
monster. Death, still erics, "more,"
la the conclusion, we arc informed that:
4*Tkc ultimate question truly at issue is the
feasibility of the permanent existence of a
peweefa) BepuUie That is the question now
to be solved." The Governor says, "during \hu
past year, we have made mighty strides towards
such a solution, and to all human appearances
we approach its completion." Here we again
agree with him. It is true that wo are approach
ing the completion of the solution, with such,
"mighty strides" toward despotism, as to leave
but little doubt that kis already solved. Rut,
as to solving the question, whether tho union
will be restored, that is a solutigh which n math
ematician equal in point of ability to Gov. Cur
tin himself, will find some difficulty in "approach
ing" the "completion" of.
The Governor says nothing about the policy
of the Administration; but, as he endowed the
Emancipation Proclamation, before his election,
it is to bo presumed ke endorses tkc Amnesty
PirOslnmntion, now.
Damages by the Militia.
Wc see by the proceedings of the State Leg
islature, that our Representative, Mr. Meyers,
introduced a bill for tho adjudication ifnd pay
ment of claims arising from damages incurred
by tho citizens of the Commonwealth through
scizares and despoliation of property by tho
militia in June and July last. This bill should
be passed by nil means. It is bared on justice,
as it will but operate to compensate the losses
of individuals sustained for tho benefit'of the
whole people of the State. Bedford county
suffered to the extent of thousands of dollars
by losses of this sort, and it is but just that our
citizens be remunerated for what they suffered
in defenco of the public safety. We hope Mr.
Meyers' bill will pass.
EDITORIAL CORRESPONDENCE.
No. 3..
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, )
HAKIUSUURO, Jan. 18, 1864. (
DEAR GAZETTE:
To-day the Honse will rnceet at 11 o'-
clock, .A. M., to go through the farce of voting
for candidates for State Treasurer. The Senate
not being organized, will bo unable to meet
with the House, as required by law, though,
doubtless, tho lo Abolition Senators will assume
to bo the Senate nnd will go to the Hall of the
House of Representatives to cast their votes for
their candidate. The Democratic Senators and
Representatives, determined to stand liy the
Constitution and laws of the State, will bo
compelled to refrain from participating in the
election. Henry D. Moore, the Abolition nom
inee, will, of course, receive all the T votcs that
will be cast, but it will probably be a matter
for judicial determination, whether his election
will be legal.
I Tho inauguration of Gov. Curtin takes place
to-morrow. Great preparations have been
mado to make it a grand nfair. I believe the
Governor and our friend McClure, of the Frank
lin Repository, have succeeded in getting up an
address for the occasion, in which some new
adjectives will bo applied to the rebellion and
which is to abound in fresh oracles concerning
God's will in relation to the war. Aleck and
Andy ought to be able to use up Jeff. Davis in
ten pages of foolscap. There is to he a mag
nificent inauguration ball to-morrow night. Of
course everything will go "merry as a marriage
The great sorrow of the nnlion, that
broods over us like a funeral pnll, will be for
gotten. The suffering of liw frost-bitten soldier,
shivering under his tbread-haro blanket on the
rugged mountains of Tennessee, will never once
enter the minds of the gay revellers at the Cur
tin ball. Tho memory of the dead heroes who
yielded up their lives on gory fields, in defence
of the State and the Government, will not
troublo tho dancers at this Tcrpsichorean fes
tival. No! no! But ovcry thought nnd feeling
nnd action will be rapt in the apotheosis of
shoddy, as that embryo god "trips it on the
light, fantastic toe."
Jt has been rumored here that an effort is
being made by the administration at Washing
ton, for the exchange of Senator White. In
order to effect this, Gen. Butler, the agent of
exchange at Fortress Monroe, has been ignored
amlajprivate citizen of Maryland, has deputed to
arrnngo with tho authorities at Richmond.—
Whether this effort will be successful, remains
id b; seen.
In order* to send this by the next mail, and
in time for your this week's issue, I nm obliged
to close. Yotirs, B. F. M.
Wood Measuring.
The city-fathers no doubt thought they were
doing a good act end saving the people ii'pm a
great deal of imposition by adopting an Ord!-
nance requiring wood to bo measured. We like
the plan of paying qnly for what wo get: but
is not every man's eyes his market, and if ho
don't ilka a man's price, he need not buy. That
the wood-haulers intended to raise the price of
wood, we believe was understood among them
early in the fall, whether any measuring ordi
nance was passed or not; but we are paying
too much for winter quarters this scuson, and
we believe it to be the wish of the people that
the ordinance be repealed, and the old routine
of buying as cheap as you can; be reinstated.
ffTAt lost acoounts the Senate of this state
won still unorganized. There being a tie vote
because of one of tbe members, (Col. White,)
being a prisoner at Richmond. The vote on
all the different motions, and ballots, vary from
16 to 10, to 10 against 10. The Republicans
claim that the Senate is organized, and that
the speaker elected the former session has the
right to hold over—an argument which can
be about as easily sustained, as their dogma,
that Abraham Lincoln is the government.

Tho Eeign of Torror IJader the Adminis
tration of the Old Federl Party.
In the days of the elder Adams, when Feder
alism bad control of the Government, acts of
despotism wcro committed having some resem
blance to these which distinguish the Adminis
tration of Abrahnra Lincoln. One case will
illustrate tho character of many others which
occurred during the reign of terror under Fed
eralism. •
A German Democratic paper (The Adler)
wa3 published at Reading, Pennsylvania, by
Hcary Snyder. That paper was suppressed,
ami Mr. Snyder_arrested by order of President
Adams, for some criticism on his Administration.
This act of tyranny aroused at once tho Demo
cratic spirit of that comity, and a ntnall hand
headed by John Flies and John Miller, held n
meeting and parsed resolutions disapproving of
the Federal Administration arid the arbitrary
arrest of Snyder, and the suppression of his pn
per, and asserting their Constitutional right to
the freedom of speech and of the press.
t.rovcmmct soldiers were at onrc forwarded
from Philadelphia, then the seat of the Federal
Government, to arrest Fries and his compatri
ots. Fries and eight other Democrats were ar
rested, (breed to Easton, Pn., and there locked
up in a dark cellar, kneo trajf in water and
mud, forty-eigkt hours, and then, under a strong
guard of Federal soldiers, taken to-Philadelphia
and imprisoned. Therfi they received a mock
trial—the Judge of the Court being a subservi
ent tool of tiio Administration, and tho jury
backed by the Federal Marshal. Fries was
condemned to lie hung, and the others sentenced
to the penitentiary, some for one, some for five,
and some for nine years. Rut before Fries was
hung, Jefferson was elected President, whose
first official act was to pardon Fries and his
fellow-victims of Federal persecution and tyrnn
"7-
When Fries and Wis fellow Democrats were
released from their long confinement., tho people
met in a large mass meeting before, tho jail, and
constructed a platform on which they carried
Fri A s, high above their heads, through the streets
of Philadelphia, ngiid the shouts and huzzas of
thousands of Democratic freemen. Thus end
ed the misrule and the tyranny of the Federal
itcs, as well as the reign of terror they created.
The present Republicans are the legitimate
political descendants of tho Federalists of 1799
and 1800. There is no difference between the
views of the two. Tha principles of tho Fed
eralists led them to distrust the people, und de
sire a strong central government. .The Feder
alists had their reign of terror, suppressing
newspapers, nnd arresting their proprietors and
editors, incarcerating and otherwise punishing
citizens for their political opinions. The Repub
licans are doing the same thing, only on a more
extended scale. Despotic power, to rule and
control the people, lies st the foundation of their
political creed; nnd all they want is tho o(por
tttnity to create a monarchy, nd enslave the
people.—Cm- Enquirer.
\ A "Voice from tlo Grave.
Tho following exlract from Webster's orntion
on tbe completion of liunkcr Hill Monument,
June 17, 1818, eoracs to us now as the voice of
n patriot spou'king to hi countrymen from the
grate. Had that voice been headed while yet
ho was on earth, our people would not have
learned by such experience how true is his de
scription of a military republic:
••A military republic, a government founded
on mock elections, end supported only by the
sword, is a movement, indeed, but a retrograde
and disastrous movement from the regular and
old fashioned monareHieal system. If men
would enjoy the blessings of Ilepublican Gov
ernment, they must govern themselves by rea
son, by mutual counsel and consultation, by a
sense and feeling oi general interest, and by the
acquiescence of tbe minority in tbe will of the
majority, prooerly expressed ; and above all,
tbo military must be kept, according to the lan
guage of our bill of rigbte, in strict subordina
tion to tbe civil authority. Where verthis les
son is not both learned and practiced there can
be no political freedom. Absurd, preposterous
it is, a scoff and a satire upon freo forms of
1 Constitutional liberty for forms of government
j to bo prescribed by military lenders, and the right
[of suffrage to bo exercised at the point of the
sword.—Work.-, vol. 1, p. 98.
All that Webster said on the übovo twenty
I years since, wo now realize as true: Twenty,
tan, nay, flv# ywara ago, wbo would Itave be
lieved that the American people would have
over sufficed this or beo patient under their
suffering*.
