When the procesfli)n bad gone over a portion
of the prescribed route, and bad reached Market

both applause and disapprobation among the
spectators. The Friendship is largely composed

After the Friendship company left the line
all the other fire companies of Harrlsbnrg fol

that the Philadelphia fire companies also left

remained and completed the entire route. j

. . . Inaacarail Andrea.
Fellow-citizens: Uavlnir Been honored a
second time by the voluntary" suffrages of my
countrymen as their choice for Chief Magistrate
of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, I have.
In the presence of Uod and ot this assembled
multitude, renewed the solemn and binding obli-
atlon required oi me by law, to support tue
late and National Conetltutions, and to perform
with fidelity the duties devolving upon me as
Governor. It shall be my constant aim and mot
earnest effort to observe the very letter as well
as the full spirit, meaning, and intent of the ob
ligation I have just taken.- r I
ueepiy impressed witu tne most proiouna
gratitude, I can but express my most hearty
thanks to the good citizen of this Common
wealth for the generous confidence and par
tiality they have reposed in me by re-election to
the most honorable and most responsible posi
tion in their gift. But knowing well their ex
actions and requirements of one who occupies a
Fosltion so exalted, it is with extreme diffidence
again undertake responsibilities of such vast
importance, which even the boldest and most
ifted might hesitate to assume. And however
eternised may be my endeavors to realize the
expectations of my friends in support of the
right, and to battle against whatever, in my
judgment, , may be wrong, still I am
conscious of the necessity for some sustain
ing power; and therefore unhesitatingly acknow
ledge my dependence upon the enlightened sup
port and patriotism of my fellow-citizens, and
my firm reliance upon the unerring wisdom and
never-failing aid of Him who controls alike the
dettinles of individuals and nations. t
The settlement of the vexed questions grow
ing out of the armed conflict with treason de
volves a mighty responsibility on the loyal men
of the land. Armed rebellion was signally
crushed by the force of armed loyalty, and the
Government has triumphantly established its
ability successfully to suppress domestic insur
rection, however gigantic. The war itself has
served to stimulate our people to fresh en
ergies,' and to the development of new enter
prises.,.. Our manufactories have multiplied,
Slenty has smiled upon our fields and blessed
e . labors , of the husbandman. - Peace .has
restored our people to their homes and
cheered Our firesides. The rates of taxation
have been reduced, and are entirely abol
ished upon real ' estate for the use; . of
the Commonwealth. Our State debt; is
being steadily and surely liquidated. Immense
sums have been paid for pensions and oher
charities. The cause of education has advanced,
and the institutions for the support and tuition
of the soldiers' orphans have beeu liberally sup
plied, Railroads have been constructed, and
new material resources developed. And thus
our State and nation are' rapidly progressing in
the attainment of those elements of greatness
which have already placed our country in j the
foremost rank of the powers of the earth. The
great railroad which binds our State to the j Far
West, and it in turn to the oriental nations, has
been completed, and all bur efforts to add to our
material prosperity have been crowned with uu
pnrullclea success. )
It .was my privilege to announce from this
stand, .three years ago. the principles which
would guide me In tue administration of the
office of Governor. At that time I dwelt upon
and expressed my views in reference to all ques
tions then occupying a share of public attention.
I have since,' from time to time, in messages to
the Legislature, set forth the "condition o( fie
State, recommended such measure as I deemed
expedient and calculated to advance ! her
interests, faud expressed my views upon the
various toplos of the dar that were of Istate or
National importance. ' And having fully reflected
therconri am tue more conurmed therein: aoa
know of no .reason .why. I. should not endorse
and reiterate them as fully, on this occasion, as
if I again promulgated them word for word.
And now, acknowledging my responsibility la its
broadest sense, as a representative, to my I con
stituents, and, considering the magnitude ot the
interests which have again been committed to
my charge, I feel It is due to the people and In
cumbent upon myself to refer them to the docu
ments indicated for an outline of the general
policy which is intended as a guide fof the
incoming administration, rather thaa encumber
this address or unnecessarily delay this audience
with their repetition. I have no new pledges
to-uake, but confidently refer to the record of
my past life as evidence at least of my zeal and
devotion to tne best interests oi my state and
country and for the rectitude of my intentions.
And although the ability which I bring te the
discbarge of such high duties may be limited, i
shall coufidently rely upon the kiad indulgence
of my fellow-cltizeus and upon a conscieutlous
effort to uphold unblemished, and transmit un
tarnished to my successor in office and t pos
terity, the fair tame and good name of our mag
nificent old Commonwealth.
Difficulties of no ordinary character con
stantly surround the Executive officer in tue dls
charge of the many duties devolving upon him,
concerning each of which there may be con
flicting opinions It being, therefore, impossi
ble to satisfy all, bis only safeguard is to adopt
and act in accordance with those sterling and
beneficent maxims to' which the early fathers
gave utterance.'which have been sanctioned by
wisdom and experience,. and resulted iu the
rapid growth and prosperity of our institutions,
and the liberty and happiness of our people.
The Constitution vests 'the supreme Execu
tive power" of the State in the Governor, and
directs that "ho shall take care that the lews bo
faithfully executed.' The supreme earthly
authority recognized by us, therefore, is the law
t-the rightfully determined will of the pnple.
"No citizen is so exulted as to be above, and
none so low as to be benenth, its power. f The
Executive is as much the subject ot the laws of
the State as the humblest individual wltblu. its
borders. In pursuance of .these principles, and
In the execution of the laws, I have endeavored,
during my term of office, faithfully to discharge
every, official duty with a full reference to my
eworn obligation, and a I shall answer -at the
last great day. '
' It should be our earnest effort to faithfully dis
charge ail c$r obligations and responsibilities,
both as citizens and magistrates. We should
cease to tolerate anything as "politically rHrht
that is morally wroug," aad actively proscribe
the corruption which too freqaently marks the
administration of public affair- an evil to which
attention cannot too frequently or too forcibly
be invited. No sign mate certainly indicates the
downfall of free institutions than tue Indifference
of the people to the moral depravity of those in
authority. All history warps us to bold to our
Integrity as we value our-national existence.
t'4J 1 ' Hi ,. H ,!.!! I e. ,it fin '
tvi. i ..j r i. . i t it t
jurninj jujirvtiGm wiw lucra turns, i van upuii
all legislators, and upon all other good r.ltleenf.
and especially upon the conductors of
the public press the ever faith
ful sentinels of a free people to aid In giving
that tone to public sentiment which shall purify
our State, ftnd relieve her from the reproach of
even countenancing thooo who would make a
traffic of their offices in violation of their obli
gations. Look to it well and closely, fellow
citizens, and bjgtn at once to teach your ser
vants that the "public will" must be obeyed, and
that the "public weal" Is the first object to be
attained In a free government. If yon permit
peculators to enrich themselves out of the
public treasury, and at the same time to corrupt
the law-making branch of the Government, you
pave the way to anarchy, you set the example
which tempts to crime, and offer to the world
an evidence, most conclusive, that self-government
Is a failure. . . ...
Owing to the many efforts made on the part
of free traders for the abolishment of the natu
ral and wholesome protection now afforded to
our home Industry and to labor, I consider it a
subject which claims a portion of our time and
attention. If our natural Industry and natural
productions, rcpreseutcd by thousands of facto
ries, mines, ana other sources of labor, are to be
preserved, there should be no reduction of duties
which shall enable the underpaid and over
worked populat ion of the Old World to flood our
States with the product of their mines and
workshops at the cost of our destruction. The
articles thus admitted would undersell the pro
ducts of our artisans at our very doors, and
our factories would be closed, as heretofore, by
similar causes. This will throw out of employ
ment thousands of industrious men, and entail
ruin upon them and their families, merely for
the benefit and agtrrandizementof foreign manu
facturers and capitalists. As soon as our indus
trial arms are paralysed- and competition is de
stroyed, the monopolist can command his own
price, and it is thus clear that the policy of
free-trade can never permanently benefit any
country that will sanction its adoption. Im
pelled bv every feeling of interest, humanity,'
and justice for our artisans and laborers, we
should unhesitatingly set our faces against this
heresy. We should, therefore, not only earnestly
legislate for the benefit of capital, but for the
toiling sons and daughters of our country. It
should be our constant effort to improve their
social condition, to advance their intellectual
status, and above nil to-shield them from the
destitution which is threatened by the enemies
of protection to our industrial pursuits.
In my several messages to the Legislature I
have taken occasion, to refer to a subject which
I regard as of paramount importance to the
prosperity and even the stability of our Govern
ment. No nation can long exist that attempts
to violate any of its obligations. The most
prominent among these Is the faithful payment
of all Its Indebtedness. No good reason can be
given for the repudiation of a single farthing. I
euld in my message of January, 18(18, "The
people of Pennsylvania, ever true to the Union,
and unswerving in their determination to pre
serve its honor, integrity, and perpetuity, are
proud and free to assert the sacreduess of the
national debt, and : that its" ultimate pay
ment In full must be secured." In my mes
sage of 1869 I called attention to the same
subject in these words: "The voice t of
Pennsylvania, as well as that of a majority of
the States, has at the ballot-box proclaimed
to the world that all our national Indebtedness,
no matter how heavy the burden, will be paid
according to the letter and spirit of the agree
ments made and entered into at the time the
debt was contracted; and that in this, as In all
other respects, our individual and national
honor must and shall be preserved.'' These sen
timents, so clearly expressed, I have taken fre
quent occasion to reiterate, and it affords mo
great satisfaction to observe that many who
have heretofore been hostile to or silent on this
most Important subject, are becoming warm la
their advocacy of the principles here ' enun
ciated. ' ' r' '"'! .!.; (' i ;
Those who saved this Government from the
destruction designed by treason, are they who
will perpetuate it as a blessing for future gene
rations.' All that Is asked ot the people 1 to
strengthen and uphold the hands of the men
who hare been called to do the work of rccon
, struction, and when that work is finished In! the
spirit In which It has been begun by the present
National administration, we will have a Govern
ment and a country mighty In their munificence,
elorlous in their prosperity., ' .,
The preservation of the peace and quiet of
our country, maintaining nneuiiied our national
honor, and the harmony of the Union, are among
our highest duties.. Let us . cueouraze every
branch of home industry, advance the true Inte
rests oi moral, pnysicau ana intellectual moor.
and reaching forward to the prize of the niinl-
ieet oeetiny oi our gionous commonwealth, we
above all, for the smiles of an approving Provi
dence.- ' ' 1 ' - !
' I earnestly invoke a conttnuatTcc of the bless
ings and favors which we, as a people, hve
long enjoyed, that Pennsylvania: may be ver
ready to ' extend her , sympathies to those
struggling for liberty, to succor the . helpless
exile; and be an asylum to the persecuted . and
oppressed; and thus forever Identify herself with
the cause of equal rights and with the Interests
ot universal ireedom, justice, and Humanity.
Then can we with truth and pride proclaim.
"Long live the Commonwealth," whose guiding
principles are round in tne potto oi our state,
"Virtue, Liberty, and Independence." ) ' .
Upon the termination of the ceremonies of in
auguration at the Capitol the Governor was es

The articles in-the Mace-Allen prize fight were

Frank Burns on behalf of Tom Allen. The arti

and the championship of America, and shall
take blace within fiftv miles of New . Orlaans.
The fight has been fixed to come off on the 10th
of next May, the conditions being that iu case
either party fails to be on the ground between
the hours of 7 and 12 A. M. he shall forfolt the
stakes. Arrest of either of the contestants by
the police shall under no circumstances form a
reason for non-foifelture of the stakes.

Mace, since the signing of articles, has been
quiet and reticent, but expresses, nevertheless,
his confidence in his ability to vanquish Allen.
Mace feels particularly confident in his own
superior science and pugilistic experience, nd
says that though a smaller and lighter man than
Allen, he will make him (Allen) regret his
temerity in challenging one who came here
without any Intention of entering the ring. The
