Prayer by J. Walker Jackson :
O Lord God, Thou high and mighty
ruler of the Universe, who beholdest
from Thy throne all that do dwell up
on the face of the earth, we approach
into Thy prdsenco in the nano and
through the mediation of our Lord and
Saviour Jesus Christ. Now, 0 God,
we beseech thee, let thine oyes be up
on us, thine ears /Went unto our cries.
Hear Thou the voice of our supplica-
I Lions, and pour upon us the spirit of
grace, of mcrcy, - and of love.
We thank Thee, our Heavenly Fa
ther, for all thy goodness towards us.
Thou bast not remembered our sins
and iniquities against us according to
their magnitude - and enormity, and
Thou hest promised that, when we
pray toward thee, Thou wilt forgive
all our sins.
Thou bast been kind unto this peo
ple. Thou hest given unto us rain
and sunshine, the blessings of the sea
sons, fruitful fields and harvests. Thou
haat given unto us the blessing of civil
and religious liberty. Thou bast given
unto us the blessing of goad govern
ment. And although during the y.:..rts
that are past, we have had war and
violence—although even now - we are
in the midst of civil strife—yet Thou
bast remembered us in mercy. Our
enemies trod upon our soil; but Thou
didst give unto our armies the victory.
We give glory to thy name for our
victories by land and sea—victories so
numerous so signal and so effective as
to give increased assurance to lovers of
liberty everywhere, that we shall pre
serve our Constitution, maintain our
Union, and that the blessings of peace
shall be restored unto us.
We bless Theo that wo are brought
to see this hour when by the will of
God, expressed through the suffrages
of a free people, wo have met to wit
ness the inaugural ceremonies' for the
second time of the present Governor of
our Commonwealth. We thank Thee
for the measure of health that Thou
hest given unto him in the past. We
bless Thee for the successes that Thou
hest vouchsafed unto his administra
tion. And'grant, 0 God, that as the
past years have been years of violence,
the future years may be yowl of victo
ry, of triumph, and of peace.
We give Thee glory fbr the success
of our arms. Wo thank Thee, Our
Heavenly Father, for the policy that
has marked the administration of our
Federal and of our State governments.
We thank Thee for our Union and for
the Mutual subordination of the States.
We pray Thee to bless all loyal States
and alt loyal Governors. We pray
especially Thy blessing upon the Sen
ate and House of Representatives of
this Commonwealth now in session.
Make this a year of jubilee. Make
it a year of the "opening of the prison
doors to them that aro bound." Grant,
0 our Heavenly Father, as Thou in
Thy providence bast indicated unto
us that freedom for all is the only path
of national safety, to "break every yoke
and let the oppressed go free."
0 Merciful Lord, we look up to Thee
in the midst of our chastisements.—
Thou bust afflicted us; but Thou art
our merciful God. Thou heat bowed
us down ; but Thou wilt, lift us up;
and in tho expectation of future pros.
purity, we give the glory to the Father,
the Son, and the Holy Spirit, through.
out all ages, world without end. Amen.
Our Father who art in Heaven, hal
lowed be thy name; Thy kingdom
coma; Thy will be done on earth as it
is done in Heaven. Give us this day
our daily bread, and forgive us •our
debts as we forgive our debtors; and
lead us not into temptation,-but deliv
or us from evil, for Thine is the king
dom, and the power and the glory for
ever. Anion.
The certificate of election of Gover
nor was then read by Mr. Thtmersley,
Clerk of the Senate.•
The oath of office was administered
to the Governor by Speaker Penney.
The Governor then proceeded, amid
the most flattering demonstrations of
applause, to deliver the following
INAUGURAL ADDRESS:
Fellow-Citizens of the Senate and liouse
of Representatives
Called by the partiality of my fel
low-citizens to the office of Governor
of PennWvania for another term, I
appear before you to solemnly renew
the prescribed obligation to support
the Constitution of the United States
and the Constitution of the State of
Pennsylvania, and to discharge the re
sponsible trust confided to me with fi
delity.
When first summoned . before you,
three yours ago, to assume the sacred
duties of the Executive office, the long
gathering clouds .of civil war were
about to break upon our devoted coun•
try. For years treason bad been ga
thering in might—had been appropria
ting to its fiendish lust more and more
bountifully of the nation's houors--had
grown steadily bolder in its assump
tion of power until it had won the tol
erance, if not the sanction, of a formid
able element of popular strength even
in the confessedly loyal States. The
election of a President in 1860, in strict
conformity with the Constitution and
the laws, though not the cause, was
deemed thefit occasion for an organiz
ed attempt to overthrow the whole fa
bric of our free institutions, and plunge
a nation of thirty millions into hopeless
anarchy. The grave offence charged
against the President elect seemed a
lone to consist in his avowed fidelity
to the Government, and his determined
purpose to fulfil his solemn covenant
to maintain inviolate the Union of the
States. When inaugurated, ho found
States in open rebellion, disPlahning
allegiance to the Government, fraudu
lently appropriating its property and
insolently contempning its authority.
Treason was struggling for suprem
acy in every department, of adminis
trative power. In the Cabinet it fe
loniously disa'med us—our arsenals
wore robbed to enable I,lie armies of
crime to drench a continent in frater
nal blood—our coasts were left compa
ratively defenceless to fall an easy
prey to traitors—our navy was scat
tered upon distant Seas to render the
Republic helpless for its own protee•
tion—officers, educated, commissioned
and sworn to.defend the Government
Algainst any foe, bcoame deserters, de
' fied Heaver, in shamelerss perjury, and
HUNTINGDON, PA., WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 27, 1864.
-PERSEVERE.-
with fratricidal hands drew their
swords against the country of their
allegiance, and when treason had thus
completed its preparations, wanton,
wicked war was forced upon our loyal
people.
Never was war so causeless, 'rho
north bad sought no sectional triumph,
invaded no rights, inflicted no wrongs
upon the South. It aimed.to preserve
the Republic, not to destroy it, and
even when rebellion presented the
sword as the arbiter, we exhausted
every effort consistent with the exis
tence of.our Government Aoltvert, the
bloody drama of the last throe years.
Tho insolent alternative presented by
treason, of fatal dismemberment or in
ternecine war,
was met by generous
efforts to avert the storm of death
which threatened to fall; but the lead
ers of the rebellion spurned peace, un
logs thoy c',uld glut their Infernal am
bition over the ruins of the noblest and
freest Government ever devised by
man,
Three years of bloody, wasting war,
and the horrible sacrifice or a quarter
of a million lives attest the despera
tion of their purpose to overthrow our
liberties. Mourning and sorrow-spread
over the entire nation, and defeat and
desolation aro the terrible trophies
won by the traitor's hand.. Our peo
ple have been sorely tried by disasters
but in the midst of the deepest gloom
they have stood with unfaltering de
votion to the great cause of our com
mon country. Relying upon the ulti—
mate triumph of the right, they have
proved themselves equal to the stern
duty, and worthy of their rich inheri
tance of freedom. Their ~ fidelity has
been well rewarded. In; God's own
good time, He has asserted His aven
ging power; and if this war, is persis
ted in by the leaders of the rebellion,
as has become evident, then slavery
drd treason, the fountain and stream
of discord and death, must soon share
a common grave.
In this great struggle for our hon
ored nationality, Pennsylvania has
won immortal fame. Despite the tea
(things of the faithless and the hesita
tion of the timid, she has promptly
and generously met every demand
made upon her, whether to repel inva
sion or to fight the- battles of the Uni
on whenever and whorcover her peo
ple Were demanded. Upon every field
made historic and sacred t by the valor
of our troops, some of The martial
youth of Per.nsyl collie, have' fallen.
There is scarce a hospital that has not
been visited by our kind'effiees to the
sick and wounded, there is not a de
partment in which brave mon do not
answer with pride to the name of our
noble State, and while history endures
loyal hearts will turn with feelings of
national pride to Gettysburg, where'
the common deliverance of Pennsylva
nia and the Union will stand recorded
in the unsurpassed glory of that bloo
dy field. •
I need hardly renew my pledge,
that during the term of office on which
lam about to enter, I will give my
whole moral and official power to the
prosecution of this war, and in aiding
the National Government in every ef
fort to secure early and complete suc
cess over our malignant foes.
For the preservation of our national
life, all things should be subordinated.
It is the first, highest, noblest duty of
the citizen—it is his protection in per
son, property, and all civil and relig
ious privileges, and for its perpetuity
in form and power, he owes all his ef
forts, his influence, his means, and his
life To compromise with treason,
would bo but to give it renewed exis
tence, and enable it again to plunge
us into another causeless war.
In the destruction of the military
power of the rebellion is alone the
hope of peace; for while armed rebels
match over the soil of any State, no
real freedom can prevail, and no gov
ernmental authority, consistent with
the genius of our free institutions, can
properly operate.
The people of every State are enti
tled under the Constitution to the pro
tection of the Government, and to
give that protection fully and fairly,
rebellion must be disarmed and trod
den in the dust. By these means, and
these alone, can we have enduring u
nion, prosperity and peace. As in the
past, I will in the future, in faithful o
bedience to the oath I have taken,
spare no means, withhold no power
which can strengthen the Government
in this conflict. To the measures of
the citizens chosen to administer the
National Government adopted to pro
mote our groat cause, I will give my
cordial approval and earnest co-opera
tion. It is the cause of constitutional
liberty and law. -
Powers which are essential to our
common safety should now be wisely
and fearlessly administered, and that
Executive would be faithless, and held
guilty before the world, who should
fail to wield the might dale Govern
ment for its own preservation. The
details of my views on the measures
which I recommend are contained in
my recent annual message, and need
not here be repeated.
I beg to return to the generous peo
ple of my native State my hearty
th a nks for their unfaltering support
and continued confidence. They have
sustained me amid many trying hours
of official embarrassment. Among all
these people to none am I more indebt.
ed than to the soldiers of Pennsylva
nia, and I bare pledge to those braVe
mon my untiring exertions in thbir be
half, and my most anxious efforts for
their future welfare, and I commend
here, as I have frequently done before
those dependant upon them, to the 'MS
tering care of the State.

I cannot close this address without
an earnest prayer to the Most High
that He will preserve, protect and
guard our beloved country, guiding

A. G. CURTIN.
On the conclusion of the delivery. of
the inaugural address, which was gree
ted at various points with enthusiastic
cheers.
The Governor, in company with the
Speaker, members •and onleere of the
House, repaired to the hall of the
House.
Testimonial to the Governor.
When the House had been called to
order, Hon. W. M. Meredith, Attorney
General of the Commonwealth,
,said
that he was present to introduce a
committee from the State of New Jer
sey, who had Como here to present to
the Governor a testimonial of the sense
entertained by the qitizens of that
State of his patriotism and energy in
the cause of our common country. Mr.
Meredith then introduced
Iron. JAMES DAYTON (Chairman of
the Committee) who, addressing the
Governor, said :
I come, sir, from the State of Now
Jersey, bearing a testimonial from the
citizens of that State to tho Governor
of this great Commonwealth—great
in her resources and her powers, and
truly great because all that she has is
laid upon the common altar of the
country. You were pleased to refer
to us in your last State paper, road in
this louse, us your good neighbors.
Let me assure you, sir, that we looked ,
with deep anxiety upon the result of
the last canvass in this State, know
ing and feeling how much • depended
upon the firmness of the old Keystone
of the arch, when the arch itself was
shaken to its centre. Now that the
trial is over, and the result known,
and this day has witnessed the crown
ing ceremonies of that contest, wo con
sider that it .is our duty, as good
neighbors, to appear here and testify
to the faithful: labors of the standard
bearer in that campaign, who bore the
flag of liberty and Union on to victo
ry—v. war of ballots, it is true, but in
its moral and political result more im
portant to the nation at large than the
dearest bought success upon the blood
iest battle field. If this is so, Mr. Gov
ernor, ate wo not rightly hero as loy
al citizens from a loyal State—the on
ly
loyal State, it is true, save one, with
a Democratic Executive; but I am
bound to say that he has proved him
self faithful to the untarnished honor
of New Jorsey—[Applause]—bas sus•
tained the Administration in its efforts
to crush out this rebellion, and has
kept himself aloof and aloft from that
diminutive faction of his party who
would hamper the Administration in
its efforts to save the Republic).
We have been here before. As neigh
bors wo came irr the latter days of
June, when the Capital was threaten
ed. You will bear me witness that a
mong the first to rally to its defence
were Jersoymen; and our heroes lie
side by side with yours on, the well
fought field of Gettysburg; and the
mounds in that consecrated city of the
noble dead will for all time boar wit
ness that we have, indeed been hero.
We come here again—this time up
on an errand personal to you and
yours. We come here bearing a tes
timonial from the citizens of NOW Jer
sey, and lam honored as the chair
man of that committee in presenting
that testimonial at this time as an ev
idence Of the appreciation of your ser
vices in behalf of our common coun
try. And let me say, that those whom
we represent here, who have taken
part in this work, are themselves rep
resentative men of the intelligence
and industry of my State.
And, whilst I speak of the givers,
let me not be unmindful of the author
of the gift itself—John Samos Audu
bon—once a resident of your own
State—a man whose world-wide repu
tation few have been able to reach;
and ho has left behind him a record
upon which he has written his appre
ciation of our country, its liberty, and
its laws. A single incident may serve
as an illustration of his character. For
ten long years he bad searched for
the sea eagle in vain. He swam the
streams, he climbed the mountains;
and . when at last success crowned his
efforts, ho writes: "Not even Her
schen himself when he discovered the
planet that bears his name could have I
experienced more delight; and as this
New World gave me birth and liberty
that man who was first in securing
its independence stands first in my
heart." Therefore ho called the no
blest of eagles after the noblest amen,
and named it the bird of Washington.
[Applause.)
These works—the works of Audu
bon—we bring with us and here pre
sent as a fitting testimonial of the ap.
preciation that wo as loyal citizens of
New Jersey have for your works.
Gov. Curtin, in receiving the testi
monial, responded in the following
language :
Mr. Dayton and Gentlemen of the
Committee say merely that I am
obliged and grateful to the people of
New Jersey for this token of their
kindly regard would be an attempt to
express a sentiment which is too large
,for adequate. utterance in words. Nor
oould I extend to you the full
,meas..
aro of thanks which is due to, the peo
ple of Now Jersey for coming to our
aid in the day of our extremity, when
the rebel was upon our soil, when he
breathed into his lungs this air that
TERMS, $1,50 a year in advance.
God Almighty intended for freemen.
But on such a day as this when I feel,
that the people of my own State - have
approved my official conduct, the ten
der of a gift from the people of a -neigh
boring State is moro 'than ordinarily
pleasant and cannot'fail to inspire 'me
with a more hopeful .courage in again,
entering upon the administration 'of
public affairs. But sir,.yru said one'
word that deserves more than thanks.
You said that your Governor was loy
al and true to the • National life , and
that he has given all'the powers of his
Rreat office to support the cause of the
epublic I do not thank yon for that;
I say God Almighty be praised 1 [Loud
applause.] Sir, after'the sacrifice of a
quarter of a million of precious lives—
after we had done and suffered so
much for our bleeding country—after
our nation has • been covered with
mourning and sorrow, it is too late
now to give up this contest; and Penn
sylvania will strike hands with any
body or•sect of any faith in polities
who will stand by the . Government.
The people of Pennsylvania, devo
tedly attached to the Republic found
ed by the men of the Revolution, bare
shown, by entrusting to my hands the
Executive office for another'throe y'rs,
that they hollow, my administration
of the past term has fairly illustrated
their views of politioal duty; and whilst
I cannot deny that this renewed man
ifestation of generous confidence from
those who have so willingly made
great and many sacrifices for the 'up
holding of our Governnient is 'the
source of unspeakable pleasure, yet I
cannot conceal that . the experience
through which I have gone .renders
me keenly sensible to the magnitude
and importance of the work which lies
before me. This evidence of sympa•
thy and esteem which you have con-
Veyed to mo in terms of flattery, will
help to strengthen my hands, and will
not permit me to forget that the wel
fare of Pennsylvania is the welfare of
New Jersey, as well as of every other
State in our National Union. '
Now, gentlemen of the committee,
wo are neighbors and we are friends;
and you are our good neighbors now,
indeed, because you say you are true
to your country. There aro peculiar
reasons why New Jamey and Pennsyl
vania should at all times .feel a com
mon interest in all that concerns the
prosperity of either. Lying side by
side, their borders only separated by a
river which is the great avenue to the
commercial advancement of both, and
that river so spanned by artificial con
nestions as to be rather a line of de
markation than a barrier to the inter•
course of their citizens, the States are
by nature closely associated. Then,
gentlemen, the first settlers of your
State and ours wore people of a oom
mon 'origin, In the groat struggle for
independence the same army fought
on the soil of each under the lead of
the Father of his Country, and the
battle-fields of Brandywine and Ger
mantown, of Monmouth and Trenton,
and the crossing of the Delaware can
never be forgotten while the Ameri
can heart palpitates with joy at the
name of Washington. fay these in
fluences of neighborhood and of kin
dred, of historical incident and of mu
tual interest never be weakened nor
forgotten, but prove in the future, as
they have always horetClfore, the bond
of a wise and enduring friendship.
I should not fool called upon to
thank you?sir, for your statement as
to the loyalty of New Jersey, for it is
a part of the history of this viar.—
Now Jersey has answered all demands
made upon her by the National Gov
ernment. Jersey has never faltered.
When we were in distress the Jersey'
Blue was upon our soil as soon as the
rebels. [Applause.] Pennsylvania
does not forget—she will, I trust, al
ways remember the alacrity and ener
gy with which the volunteer militia
of New Jersey rushed to the defence
of this State when its soil was, during
last summer, invaded by the rebel
horde. In the promptitude or this
movement consisted much of its 'effec
tiveness • and the generous spirit of
selfsacfice which was thus manifes
ted has imposed on us a debt of last
ing obligation;and whilst I most ear
nestly trust that your State may nev
er be threatened with similar danger,
I promise that we will ever bo ready
to reciprocate the assistance so freely
rendered byyour citizens during the
exigencies that then surrounded us.
This is a theme, gentlemen, upon
which I fain would dwelj at greater
length; but after the ceremonies which
have just been completed, it would un-
duly tax your patience and my own
strength. Ono word at least is due to
the volunteers of Now Jersey, who,
from the outbreak of this rebellion,
have so heroically stood in many
field side by aide with those from
Pennsylvania and other loyal States.
One of your regiments under the com
mand of a brave and intelligent Col
onel has, for several months, and until
quite lately, rendered efficient service
in this State; and alas too many of your
citizens were amongst the Victinis of
the fearful three days' fight at Gettys
burg, and now lie in the National bu
rying plaoe, upon our soil; and as the
future pilgrim shall visit this spot do•
dicated to the valor and faithfulness
of the American soldier, he will find
among the•names of those who-there
fell so gallantly for the sake of their
country many from your own State
of New Jersey. We will guard their
ashes with watchful care, and their
memories will be embalmed in the
hearts of a patriotic people. - The spot
where they he will ever be cherished
I and - defended by us as - the" Mecca 'of
all lovers of liberty, forthero rebellion
owed to breatheits pestilential infiu

that it. has given me an epportunitf to

I have knOwn him mere from_ hie

Pennsylvanians, than from . any inti

heard Pennsylvania s epbkoa of as the
Keystone State binding the others to
gether. But the term -at -that time
was prDbibly bestowed more' on 4t)
count of her geographical position thaw
for any other reason. Ibit row the
citizens of other States admit that
Pennsylvania is the most , Important
Sttite of
.the Union in its'eenneetion
With the operations of this war, though
there may - be other • Statei that have
larger populations. I have no doubt
that the pre-eminent position which
Pennsylvania now holds is' offing to
the patriotic course taken by his Ex.
cellency the GoVortior of this State in
constantly filling our armies, and in
aiding and strengthening the soldiers
in the field.
I beg that you will indulge Me le
moment. I have come here - for a spk,
cial object, of which probably some of
you are aware. I have come here for
the purpose of adding to the strength
of the Pennsylvania regiments of my
own—the Second Corps. /t is a carps
that hereafter will no doubt be identi-
fied with the, history of Penneyliania
from the fact that it is one of.the corps
that performed its part at Gettysburg.
I merely ask that that corps--thetthe
regiments - from Pennsylvania' in that
corps--be filled to the maximnin. I
have received encouragement from the
Governor of this State. I had hope 4
that he would sound the key-note; for
yon know that when that is correctly
sounded there is some. prospect, that
the music may be good. hope that
when he sounds that note, it will be
sounded so clearly and accurately that
in its vibrations through the, length
and breadth of our State,
no eritio
' cad
detect ,the slightest falsity.. The
strengthening, of our.armies is all that
is now necessary to end this rebellion.
No President, no party, can end this
struggle, unities an adequate, army, be
provided to enforce the laws. „I hav,e
