President's Message.
We had made arrangements to give our
readers a portion at least of the President's
Message in to day's paper, but as it was
not delivered on Monday we go to press at
our usual time. It will either be issued
in an extra, or appear in our next paper.
©SA„Congress met on Monday, and after
the usual preliminary appointments of Com
mittees to wait on the President, drawing
for seats, Ac., adjourned. Air. Grow made
a move to get up the Homestead Bill.
Not a word of ill-feeling was uttered.
The Secession Movements.
South Carolina continues to-swear and:
bluster, no one being there to say nay to
the Jacobins who are bent on rule or ruin. I
In Georgia the Governor and Legislature
are making fools of themselves by passing
senscles. laws with bombastic preambles, '
but there is a strong feeling against ultra 1
measures which may check the revolution- j
ists there before committing themselves to j
South Carolina Jacobinism. In the mean |
time in these States as well as others South, ;
trade is paraiized, business in great part ;
suspended, banks in the first stages of
bankruptcy, and credit dishonored,, which ;
will inevitably be followed by the ruin of j
many heretofore doing well, and entail j
much distress on the poor.
Keel-liauling Members of Congress.
In all parties, as soon as it becomes ap
parent that success is certain, the members i
of Congress in probably every district in
Pennsylvania are half-bored to death by ,
aspirants for office and their friends. To
such an extent is this systematic pursuit
carried, that we have no doubt all the mem
bers from this State will feel an infinite re- '
lief when they are again at Washington,
hundreds of miles away from those whom
tkoy are always glad to see and meet as ;
friends, but who as button-hole borers be- j
come perfect nuisances, and render visits, j
whether on pleasure or business, as disi- ;
!
greable as they possibly can be made. For
a month past no member has had a mo- ;
ment's peace. lie is waylaid at every cor- !
Tier —is watched at every house—is dogged, i
haunted, and barked at, until from bis in- ;
most soul he wishes the office and its im
munities at the bottom of the Red Sea, or
in some place as hot as South Carolina at j
least. Will people, in this respect, never I
learn common sense ? A man, even if he j
is elected to Congress, or Governor, or j
aught else where loaves and fishe3 are sup
posed to centre, likes ease and quiet just j
as much as he did before his election, and ■
if a sensible man has as much dislike to be i
harrassed for promises, and claims for ser
vices ding-donged into his ears almost with
out cessation, as a traveler would have who
would be told every mile that he passed j
over that somebody was no better than he I
or she should be —that an old woman had !
a sore finger—or that Tom, Dick or Harry j
had struck Billy Patterson ! If there is !
no other remedy for this disease in the body
politic, we would suggest to Curtin, Hale j
and others from this day forward to get a '
few labels printed in large letters—say ;
" YJLSIT os BUSINESS" —and " Visit for
the accommodation of office-hunters —5 j
minutes allowed to each"- —and as occasion
requires display the. appropriate badge on
the hat in front and the back of his euat. •
If to this would be added the declaration
that if on business a " bore fur office"
would be considered as detrimental to the
applicant, we think the Governor elect and
members of Congress might occasionally
travel in peace —a feat they can now no
more perform than lift a tub in v, hieli they
are standing.
SegrA number of citizens of Maryland
having applied to Governor Hicks, of that
State, to call together the State Legislature,
to consider the disunion question, he replies
by refusing the request. The Governor is
willing to go ns far as possible in defence of
Southern rights: hut he is unwilling to place
Maryland in the position of seeming to enter
tain treasonable designs against the Govern
ment and the Union.
Object of Disunion ists.
It is a matter of notoriety, says the Na
tional Intelligencer, that the Southern
States which contain the largest numbei of
advocates for secession and disunion are
the States which have suffered least in the
pest from any of the aggressions charged
upon the Federal Government of their eon
federate States of the North. It is also a
matter of notoriety that the Southern
States which (King at the border) have
suffered most from the sectional disturban
ces that have so long prevailed are precise
ly those of the slave-holding States which
are least disposed to adopt the policy of
separation.
What is the indubitable inference from
i this ? Simply that the policy of disunion
finds its most strenuous supporters among
those icho loolc fir it to the attainment of
\futun purposes, and not at all fur the cure
:of past grievances. 11 the latter were the
inspiring causes of the movement it would
proceed from the States which have the
most, we may almost say the only, substan
tial reason lor complaint.
Reduced, then., to,the inevitable logical
necessity of finding the primum mobile of
this agitation, so far as it takes its motives
.from calculations of interest, in some pros
pective aims which cannot be secured in
the Union, but may be secured in a
"Southern Conlcdeiaey," we obtain a use
ful hint on the subject from the following
prudent outgivings, which are commended |
to the special attention of our readers j
in th 2 border slaveholding States. We J
quote from the communication of a writer
in the Charleston Courier, who signs him- i
self" A .Southern Planter," and who, after !
stating the labor demands ol the South, j
expresses the hope that the South Carolina
Convention will not discuss the question of
reviving the foreign slave trade, and he '
•rives as a reason for this cautious reserve 1
that such a discussion may repel anu dis- .
gust the frontier States. He says:
O
"The question of more labor and the open
ing of the slave trade should be postponed
until all the slave States are icil/ing to unite
with us in forming a Houtkern Confederacy
and hate perfected their internal arrangements;
nor should any measure that is calculated to
keep any of our Southern States from us be
argued or acted upon by the Convention.—
The opening of the African slave trade 1 am
satisfied will have an important hearing on the
action of many of the present frontier States,
either in uniting them with or separating
them from us, and even if a common destiny
forces them into connection with us hereafter,
it would bs preferable for them to become
willing rather than unwilling co partners in
our concern. This question will also have
much influence with the great nations of Eu
rope in acknowledging our independence,
and will create a like interest in the commer
tia! treaties they may form with us."
In other words Virginia, Maryland,
North Carolina and the rest are to be invei
gled into the new Union before the real
objects are declared. They are necessary
to strengthen the Confederacy; but, after
they shall have been used for this purpose,
the opinion, not only of the border States,
but of the civilized world against the re
vival of this deplorable traffic may be suc
cessfully braved. Who shall venture to
predict the disasters —moral, social and fi
nancial —that may ensue to the beneficent
form of servitude which now exists in the
South if the arrangements of the present
Constitution ho disturbed ?
Lewi stow n Democrat continues its
assaults on the people for electing Lincoln,
and attributes every evil to that event. In its
last isue it avers that the low prices of grain
and stagnation of business are owing to this
event. We have known grain much lower
than it is now, and times fully as bard when
democracy ruled the roast. In our opinion
any one who will look at our idle manufac
tories and the fact that Europe—which sup
plies what our labor ought to make -does not
need our grain, will readily see the cause fur
low prices and dull business.
X. 15. Major Elbow desires us to ask the
Democrat whether Lincoln's election has put
up the price of butter and eggs ?

Speech by Governor Curtin
On Saturday evening last a complimen
tary dinner was given to A. K. McClure,
Chairman of the People's State Committee,
at which Col. Curtin and a number of oth
er prominent gentlemen were present. In
answer to a toast proposing his health, the
Governor elect rose and said —
Gentlemen of the City of Philadelphia:—
After the contest was over, 1 retired to my
home amid the Blue mountains of Pennsyl
vania, to watch the smoke as it might arise
from the field of battle, and to prepare my
self for the great duties to which the partiali
ty of the people ol my native State had call
ed uie. There! intended to remain until sum
moned to come to this city, to be present when
it was your pleasure to render some testimony
of your gratitude to those who had, been most
conspicuous in that great contest. 1 come
with pleasure.
I must acknowledge the service of the State
Central Committee. It was well cast; its
members performed their dnty, and all their
duty, with great fidelity to you and to the pnr
ity which you represent. But I come to your
! city, especially, as it was your pleasure to
i make some expression of the estimation in
: which you hold the chairman of that com
mittee. [Vehemeut applause.] Gentlemen
; of Philadelphia, no man in Pennsylvania re
ceived with more surprise the announcement
t than he who was at the head of the organiza-
I tiou oi the People's party of the State in our
great contest than did Col. McClure. If I had
never in my experience in life shown judge
ment in regard to men, I certainly offered
some evidence when I voluntarily said to this
gentleman, " I desire you, sir, to he chairman
of the Central Committee." In response to my
proposition, he turned to me and said, " The
chairman of the State Central Committee j
should not expect official favor from the Kx- j
ecutive, if our cause should prove successful, i
I say to you, sir, I will ask and desire noth- !
ing." [Applause.]
Gentlemen of Philadelphia, I crossed the
lines of the Central Committee all over Penn
sylvania ; T felt the pulse of the great heart
of the party, and it was always regular,
strong and healthy, [applause];; Lis heat was
responsive always to my h ghest expectations.
I was a soldier in the held and I filled the ap
pointments made for me : the candidate of a
party I acted as the Committee directed; and
here to night, if all the members of the Peo
ple's Party of Pennsylvania were present to
hear me, i would testify to the ability, the
sagacity, the fidelity, and the unremitting la
bor of this gentleman, [loud cheers] ; and if
I did not do so in Philadelphia, this heart
would be false to the dictates of a common
gratitude.
Now, gentlemen of Philadelphia, what !
have we achieved? No victory over our ene ,
mies. We have elected a President, but we i
have not defeated an enemy. We have asser j
ted the constitutional right of the people of |
the United States to elect a President. [En
thusiastic cheers.] Those who differed with '
us, North or South, are our brothers and j
our friends. [Applause.J Let us putPenn :
sylvania right—Pennsylvania, who, by her i
geographical position, has the lines of trans- j
it and travel, east and west and north and :
south, passing through herborders—Pennsyl
vania loyal to the Constitution, and always
obedient to the laws. [Applause.] Pennsyl
vania in the recent triumph, has not attempt
ed to violate the rights or the interests, the
goverinental prerogatives or the rights of pro
perty, of any State or individual, North or
South. [Cheers.] Pennsylvania has been
in steady pursuit of the rights of her own
people. [Applause.] We have steadily ask
ed from our National Government that our
great resources be developed, that the inter
ests of our people be protected. We have
urged protection to industry and labor, and
the development of our wealth ; and we have
done it independently, in vindication of Penn
sylvania interests and the rights of Pennsyl
vania men. [Applause.] That is all we
have done ; and the people of Pennsylvania
are this day stricken with surprise that, in
the assertion of a constitutional right, there
should be disturbance of the public peace.
Now, fellow-citizens of the city of Phila
delphia—the great manufacturing city of the
United States, the metropolis of Pennsylvania, j
the city of our hope and our pride—let us re :
member, in this day of our political triumph, i
that these gentlemen who desire to disturb ■
the Union should be our brethren. [Cheers.] ;
We have an inspiring history in Pennsylvania |
—traditions rich in the legacy of the Chris i
tian heroism. Our fathers stood by the Con- j
stitution and the Union when they wero form- j
ed ; they have ever been loyal to that Union
as Pennsylvania is to night. [Applause.]
Our chairman has truly said that this is no
time to indulge in jubilation or exultation.
It is a time which witnesses the triumph of
principle; and no principle vindicated iu the
great political contest in which we have re
cently proved so signally victorious, will ever
be deserted by the people of Pennsylvania.
[Applause ] With a spirit of brotherhood,
with a fidelity to the past, with a hope for the
future "of Pennsylvania, let us conciliate, let
us deal kindly ; but let us stand up like peo
pie worthy of the name of Pennsylvania, in
defence of our rights. Our aim in the late
contest was that the Government should be
liberalized, that there should be progress, de
velopement of wealth : and, most of all, that
there should be protection to the languishing
interests of the people of Pennsylvania.—
[Cheers.] We have stood up manfully in
the late contest for the glory of the State, and
the happiness and prosperity of the people.
The law making power of this State has
never designedly placed upon our statute
book laws to contravene or obstruct the exe
cution of any act of the Federal Govern
ment; but if there be any statutes on our
book which, in effect, do contravene or con
flict with any legislation of the National
Government, or obstruct the execution of any
law of the United States, upon being fully
satisfied that such is the fact, let us repeal
them, j Earnest and prolonged cheering.]
Let Us show to the South, and the North, and
all the world, that while Pennsylvania vindi
cates her own interests and rights, she is
faithful to the Union ; and that the right of
no State or man in the nation shall ever be
interfered with, restricted, or limited by any
act of the people of P nnsylvania.
We have attained cur triumph through
much labor. For fourteen years Pennsylva
nia has been struggling for the vindication of
her rights and interests. She lias been
frightened from her propriety, and, as has
been properly said by the gentleman to whom
this compliment is tendered, by falsehood.
We shall only be faithful to our history and
traditions, to the fathers of our Constitution,
to our theory of government, to our instincts,
our sentiments, and our habits, when we as
sert that Pennsylvania, now and forever, will
vindicate her rights, and will demand that
every State, North arid South, shall he faith
ful as herself to constitutional obligations.
[Cheers.]
1 have aaw said all that I designed hi say
to night. 1 am here, surrounded by gentle
men. who have served with great fidelity the
party that I represented in the late contest,
and have many friends to thank. I pray for
strength, that, in the next three years of
Pennsylvania's history, her public affairs may
be so administered as to advance the great
ness and the power of this State and the hap
piness of the country. To all that concerns
Pennsylvania in her prosperity and in her
strength, I pledge to you to night the utmost
powers of my head and heart. [Cheers.] —
\Y hat could I do less for the people of a State
who, in the recent contest, were pleased to
select ym as their standard bearer, and who
have crowned me with so much honor?
National Grievances.
The North lias seldom complained of
disadvantages, and although Pennsylvania
has suffered more loss during the past ten
years by the depression of* her iron inter
ests than allnbe slaves arc worth that have
run away since the formation of the Gov
ernment. she has never threatened'to rebel,
dissolve the l.'nion, or do aught else than
to let southern democracy know th-ojigh
the ballot-box that she didn't like it.—
Many people suppose the South hos wrongs,
but it is equally true that these wrongs do
not affect any of the States threatening to
secede. Hut even admitting all have cause
for complaint, have they not also many
benefits ? For instance, during the Inst
nineteen years, from to 1859, inclu
sive, the fifteen slave States have co.-t the
Department $00,.344,410 13,
and they have contributed to its support
only 52<.549,020, OS, while fifteen, free
States have cost it 800,891.293 34, and
they have contributed to its support 808,-
048,519 <o—that is, the stave States have
cost the Govern;.,cat 822,091.705 for mail
facilities more than they have paid, and
the same number of free States have con
tributed 87,757,218 more than they have
cost, being the round sum of 830,000.000
against the former! The expenses of
.South Carolina alone to the Department in
1858, beyond the amount she paid, was
8211.501 98.
'1 here is another striking instance that
will commend itself to reflecting minds.
We refer to the vast sums the Government
has paid for the purchase of territory
mainly converted into slave States, and in
the prosecution of tho Florida and Mexi
can wars, both of which were for the ben
efit of slavery. The following are the
items:
Louisiana (purchased of France) $15,000.000
Interest paid 8,387,353
Florida (purchased of Spain) 5,000.000
Interest paid 1.430,000
Texas (for boundary) 10.000.000

A Union School in Lewistown.
Mr. Editor: —ln a recent numbi r • t the
Gazette 1 noticed one paragraph, which sug
gestc-d several ideas and argumr-nf- in vopect
to the subject nam* 1 above. \.u spoke of
the recess of the public schools as being " a
nuisance." Not doubting your wise use ol
language, I wish to call the attention of the
citizens of Lewistown to a few considerations,
which, if thev do not produce immediate a
tion toward a Union school will at least
elicit some discussion of the matter.
I suppose the reci ses are " a nuisance"
for two reasons ; first, because the children
are on the street, and then-fore ve; > liable to
be in somebody's way, and second, because
they make such an amazing quantity of noise,
not of the most musical quality.
Every one believes in the utility ■ f recess
es, for the purpose of affording both teacher
and pupil opportunity for relaxation, fur re
gaining vigor and freshness of mind. This
implies some active, merrv exercise, which in
turn, implies sufficient room to move in. In
the yard near your office are from two hun
dred and fifty to three hundred scholars; of
course the recess for all the schools taught
there must be at the same time, otherwise you
can imagine the vocal power necessary in any
school while the other schools were having a
recess. All being out together, the yard
seems a prison ; there is hardly any room for
them to turn around; so they pout out into
the street and naturally make recess just
what you called it "a ngis .nc It is more
or less so of nil the other schools in the b<>r
ough. and in the present arrangement of school
buildings, it cannot be otherwise. The one
remedy for this evil, or antiayanco, ami the
one grand improvement now needed here,
is a Union school house, large enough to ac
commodate nil the schools iu the boiough,
with proper regard to its probable growth,
and surrounded by grounds sufficiently am
pie to give room for all necessary recreations.
Some of the mors important advantages
resulting from a Union school are these: —Ist.
A more complete graduation and classilica
ti in of scholars could be effected than is pos
sible now. This would bring together those
of the same degree of advancement, and
from the apportionment of classes that could
thus be made, teachers would have m<>re time
for ever} 7 recitation and could pursue a more
thorough and full systematic course of in
struction. This remark may seem of slight
moment to those who are not familiar with
the workings of scholars : but those who are
familiar with these, will recoguizc its great
importance.
2d:—There might and should be a regu
lar course of instruction, from the Alphabet
through the studies usually taught in the best
Academic s. arranged for each session and for
each school, thus foriping a complete system
of instruction open to every child in Lewis
town, a system, which if properly passed
through, would give as full and useful an
education as is now attainable outside of Col
leges and a very few Seminaries.
3d:—There would, of course, be a Princi
pal whose qualifications and experience
would be a careful supervision and success
ful operation of the whole. Assistants would
naturedly be continued for a series of yeais,
if properly qualified, and thus the school
would have a dignity and permanent charac
ter highly beneficial to pupils, and eminent
ly honorable to the town.
Other important advantages might be men
tioned, as the preservation of the health of
teachers and scholars," which the present high
school building docs not secure; the great
benefit of having one responsible person at
the head of the schools here, giving system
and efficiency to all. Suffi -ier.t lias been said
to show the desirableness of a Union school
house.
How about the cost ? lam confident some j
plan can be devised by which the burden of i
erecting a suitable building may not fall !
heavily on the people of Luwistowu for any )
one year, or for a series of years. Of course !
the tax would necessarily be increased to '
some extent, but cot so as to be seriously trou- '
blesome to any. I do not propose to offer j
any plan : doubtless there are men who take 1
