INAUGURAL ADDRESS
OF
Gov. Andrew G. Curtin,
DELIVERED JANUARY 15, 1861.
FELLOW CITIZENS :—Having been entrust
ed by the people of Pennsylvania, with
the administration of the Executive de
partment of the Government for the next
three years, and having taken a solemn
oath of fidelity to the Constitution of the
United States, and to the Constitution of
Pennsylvania, 1 avail myself of your pre
sence to express to you, and through you
to the people of the State, my gratitude
for the distinguished hono'- they have, in
their partiality, conferred upon me.
Deeply impressed with its responsibili
ties and duties, I enter upon the office of
Governor of Pennsylvania, with a determi
nation to fulfil them all faithfully to the
utmost of my ability. Questions of great
moment intimately connected with the
feelings and interests of the people of all
parts of the Nation, now agitate the pub
lic mind ; and some of them, from their
novelty and importance, are left for settle
ment in the uncertainty of the future. A
selfish caution might indicate silence as
the safest course to be pursued as to these
questions, by one just entering upon the
responsibilities of high official position ;
but fidelity to the high trust reposed in
me demands, especially at this juncture,
that I yield to an honored custom which
requires a frank declaration of the princi
ples to be adopted, and the policy to be
pursued during my official term.
We have assumed, as the great funda
mental truth of our political theory, that
man is capable of self-government, and
that all power emanates from the people.
An experience of seventy one years, un
der the Constitution of the United States,
has demonstrated to all mankind that the
people can be entrusted with their own
political destinies ; and the deliberate ex
pression of their will should furnish the
rule of conduct to their representatives in
official station. Thus appreciating their
liberal capacity for self-government, and
alive to the importance of preserving,
pure and unsullied as it came from the
hands of the Apostles of Liberty, this vi
tal principle, 1 pledge myself to stand be
tween it and encroachments, whether in
stigated by hatred or ambition, by fanati
cism or folly.
The policy that should regulate the ad
ministration of the government of our
State, was declared by its founders, and is
fully established by experience. It is just
and fraternal in its aims, liberal in its spir
it, and patriotic in its progress. The free
dom of speech and of the press, the right
of conscience and of private judgment in
civil and religious faith, are the thigli pre
rogatives to which the American citizen is
born. In our social organization the rich
and the poor, the high and the low, ;enjoy
these equally, and the Constitution and
the laws in harmony therewith, prcitect
the rights of all. ' The intelligence of the
people is one of the main pillars of the
fabric-of our government, and the high
est hopes of the patriot for its safety rest
on enlightened public morality and vir
tue.
•Our system of Common Schools will ever
enlist my earnest solicitude. For its grow
ing wants the most ample provision should
be made by the Legislature. I feel that I
need not urge this duty. The system has
been gaining in strength andlusefulness
for a quarter of a century, until it has si
lenced opposition by its beneficent fruits.
It has at times languished for want;of just
appropriations, from changes and amend
ments of the law, and perhaps from in
efficiency in its administration; but it has
surmounted-every difficulty and is - now re
garded by the: enlightened and_ patriotic
.of eyery political faith as the great bulwark
of safety for out' free institutions- The

State is in the course of steady liquidation;
by the ordinary means of. thetreasuiy, all.
unnecessary expenditures--of ..the
money-must be firmly-resisted; so that the
graduq. 3fitninutiotv of the indebtedness'

and ditninishing the burden& of -taxation
and - debt,- will be the highest obActs of my
ambition and all the energy of My achhin is
tratiOn will tos,directed to the acomplish
merit of these results. - -
The pardoning-pciwer is one of the most
important.and -- delicate poWers conferred
upon the Chief Ifigistratebi the Consti
tution, and it should always be exercised
with great caution, and never except on
the most conclusive evidence that itis due
to the condemned,. and that tiie Publie'se
curity will not be prejudiced by the act.
When such applications-are presented to
the ExecntiVe it is due to society, to the
adminiitration - of justice, and to all'inter
ested, that public notice should be giVen.
By the adoption of such a regulation- im
position will be prevented and just efforts
will bs strengthened.
The association of capital and labor, un
der acts of incorporation, where the put , -
poses to be accomplished are beyond the
reach of inclividtud enterprise, has long
been the policy of the State, and has done
much to advance the prosperity of the peo
ple. Where the means of the citizens are
moderate, as they generally are in a new
and growing country, and where the con
centration of the capital of many is neces
sary to development and progress, such as
sociations, when judiciously restricted,
confer large. benefits on the State. The
vast resources of Pennsylvania, and the
variety of her mechanical and other indus
trial pursuits, invite capital and enterprise
from abroad, which, on every sound prin
ciplo of. political economy, should be en
couraged. 3/Imhof the time of the Legis
lature is consumed by applications for spe
cial chartered privileges which might be
saved by the enactment of general laws
and by such amendment to oar general
mining and manufacturing law as will re
, move needless and burth en som e restraints,
and at the same time afford ample protec
tion to capital and. labor, and to the com
munity 'at large. Our statute books are
full of acts of incorporation conferring
special privileges, various as they are nu
merous, dissimilar in their grants of pow
er, and unequal in their liabilities and re
strictions- Well considered and judicious
general laws to ;meet all claws of corpo
rations, would remedy the evil, economvse
time and money; relieve the Legislature
from the constant pressure for undue privi
leges, and be just'. and equal to all in their
adminiatration.
The veto• power conferred upon the Ex
ecutive was. rower
with much 'hesitation,
aid-not ivitlim.it serious apprehensions as
to- its-abuse, by the framers of our organic
law. • It is, in my judgment, to be used with
the greptest caution, and only when legis
lation - Manife.4tly inconaiclerate, or of
more than doubtful constitutionality.—
The legislators, chosen as they are direct
ly by - the people, in snob a 'manner • that
a fair eipression of their views orthe true
policy of .the government can always be.
had ; give to all. well considered-measures
of legislation the Solemn sanction-of the
not
potver of the State, and it shout t
not, he arbitrarily interfered with. Virhi,Te
I shall shrink - from no duty involved by
the sacred trust reposed in mehy• the peo
ple of ftio."Catcnitf:emealtia,. I Wohl'd liave

deranging our exchangesand currency.
Yet the elements of general prosperity are
everywhere diffused amongst us, and noth
ing is wanting but a return of confidence
to enable us to reap the rich reward of our
diversified industry and enterprize. Should
the restitution of our confidence in busi
ness and commercial circles be long de
layed, the Legislature, in its wisdom, will,
I doubt not, Meet the necessities of the
crisis in a generons and'patriotic . spirit.
Thus far our system of Governrnenthas
fully answered the expectations of its
founders, and has demonstrate& the ca
pacity of the people for self-goierntneut.
The country hasulvanced in weal th, k n owl
edge and power, and secured - to all class
es of its citizens the blessings of peace,
prosperity and happiness. The workings
of our simple and natural political organ
izations have given direction and energy
to individual and associated enterprise,
maintained public order, and promoted
the welfare of all parts of our vast and ex
pending. country. No one who knows the
history of Pennsylvania and understands
the opinion's and feelings of her people,
can justly charge us with hostility to our
brethren of other States. We regard them
as friends and fellow countrymen, in whose
welfare we feel a kindred interest; and
we recognize, in their broadest extent, all
our constitutional oblisations to them.—
These we are ready and willing to observe
generously and fraternally in their letter
and spirit, with unswerving fidelity.
The election of a President of tile Unit
ed States, according to the forms of the
Constitution; has recently been made a
pretext for disturbing the peace of the
country ,by a deliberate attempt to wrest

,coinpact, and Willingly

that" his first' ciVil;end' political duty is to
the ;_general, government; 'and he frankly
acknovidedgcs his ObligatiOn to.protectthe
constitutional rights of•all-who live-under
its authority-and enjoy its blessings.
I have already - taken occasion tie say
publicly, and 'I
nqw repeat, that We have
any laws , upon our statute books which in
fringe upon the rights of the people of any
of the States, or contravene'any laWof 'the
Federal Governnaent, or CrliStrAict - e.-,
cution,-they ought to be repealed. We
ought not to hesitate to exhibit to other
States that may have enacted' laws inter
fering with the rights,
~or obstructive of
the remedies which belong constitutional
ly to all American citizens, an example of
magnanimity and of implicit obedience to
the paramount law, and by a. prompt re
peal of every statute. that may even, by
implication, be liable to reasonable objec
tion, do our part to remove every just
cause'of dissatisfaction with ourlegislation.
Pennsylvania has never faltered in her ,re
cognition of all the duties imposed.upon her .
by the national compact, and she will, by ev
ery act consistent with her devotion to the
interests of her own people, promote frater
nity and peace, and a liberal comity between
the States. Her convictions onthe vital ques
tions which haVe agitated the public mind are
well understood at home, and should not be
misunderstood abroad. Her verdicts have
been as uniferm as- they have been decisive;
in favor of the dignity,' the.proSperity and the
progress.of her free industry, and supportaf
the principles of liberty on which the gov
ernment is founded, and menace or rebellion
cannot reverse them. They have passed into
history as the deliberate judgment of her peo
ple, expressed in lt peaceful, fraternal and
constitutional manner :
,and when theY shall
have been administered in the government,
as soon they will be, the madness that
now rules the hour will subside, as their pa
triotic, faithful and national aims bring am
ple protection and peaceful progress to all
sections of the Republii.
In the grave questions which now agitate
the country, no State has a more profound
concern than Pennsylvania. Occupying a
geographical position between the North and
the South, the East and the West, with the
_
great avenues of, travel and trade passing
through her borders, carrying on an exten
sive commerce with her neighbors, in • the
vast and varied productions of her soil, her
mines and her mainfacturing industry, and
bound to them by the ties of kindred and sr.;-
cial intercourse, the question of disunion in
volves momentous consequences to her peo
ple. The second of-the thirty-three States
in population, and the first in material•re
sources, it is due both to ourselves and id the
other States, that the position and sentiments
of Pennsylvania on the question should be
distinctly understood, •
All the elements of _wealth and greatness
have been spread over the' State by a kind
Providence with profuse liberality. Our tem-,
perste climate, ,productive soil, and inex
haustible mineral wealth, have stimulated
the, industry of our people and , improved the
skill of our mechanics. To develop,enlarge
and protect the interests which grow out of
our natural advantages, have become cardi
nal principles of political economy in Penn
sylvania, and the opinion every where pre
vails among our people that development,
progress and wealth depend on educated and
requited labor; and that labor, and the in
terests sustained by it, should be adequately
protected against foreign competition. The
people of Pennsylvania have always favored
that policy which aims to elevate and foster
the industry of the country in the collection
of revenue for the support of the General
Government; and whenever they have had
the opportunity, in a fair election, they have
vindicated that policy at the ballot-box.—
When their trade was prostrated and their
industry paralyzed by the legislation of the
General Government, which favored:adverse
interests, they waited patiently for the re
turn of another opportunity to declare the
public will in a constitutional manner. In
the late election of President of the United
States, the principle of protection was one of
the prominent issues. With the proceedings
of Congress at its last session fresh in their
memories, a large majority of the people of
Pennsylvania enrolled themselves in an or
ganization, which, in its declaration of prin
ciples, promised, if successful, to be faithful
to their suffering interests and languishing
industry. Protection to labor was one of the
great principles of its platform; it was in
scribed on its banners; it was advocated r by
its public journals; and throughout the can
vass it was a leading text of the orators of the
successful party.
This is a propituous moment to declare that
while the people of Pennsylvania were not in
different to other vital issues - 6f the canvass
they were demanding justice for themselves
in the recent election, and had no design to
interfere with or abridge the, rights of the
people of other States. The growth of our
State had been , retarded by the abrogation
Of the lirinciple of protection from the rev
enue laws of the national government; bank
ruptcy had crushed the energies of many of
our most enterprising citizens; but no voice
of disloyalty or treason was-heard, -nor was
an arm raised to offer violence to the sacred
fabric of our nationatUnion. Conscious of
their rights and their power, our people look
ed to the ballot-box alone as the legal reme
dy for existing evils.
In the present unhappy condition of the
country, it will be our duty to unite with the
people of the States that remain loyal.to the
Union, in any just and honorable measures
of conciliation and fraternal kindness. Let
us invite them to join us in the fulfilthent of
our obligations under the Federal Constitu
tion and laws. Then we can cordially unite
with them in claiming like obedience from
those StateS which have renounced their al
legiance. If the loyal-States are just and
moderate, 'without any swifter) . of right or
self respect, the threatened danger may be
averted. '
Ours is a National' Government. It has
within the sphere of its action all-the attri
butes of sovereignty, and among these ? are
he right and duty of self preservation. It
8 based upon a eompact to which all the peo
ple of the United States ate-parties. It is the

ate people of Pennsylvania will give to the
amendments which ' Congress may propose,
the careful and deliberate consideration
• which their importance may demand. Change
is not always progress, and a people who have
lived so long, anti enjoyed so much prosperi
. ty, who have so many sacred memories of the
past; and such rich legacies to transmit to
the future, should deliberate long and serious
ly, before they attempt to alter any of the
fundamental principles of the great charter of
our liberties.
I assume the duties of this high office at
the most trying period of our national his
tory. The public mind is agitated by fears,
suspicious and jealousies. Serious appre
hensions of the future pervade the people.—
A preconcerted and organized effort has.
been made to disturb the stability of Gov
ernment, dissolve the union of the States,
and mar the symmetry and ordercof the nq
blest political structure ever devised and en
acted by human wisdom. It shall be my ear
nest endeavor to justify the confidence which
you have reposed in me, and to deserve-your
approbation. •
With a consciousness of the rectitude of
my intentions,'with no resentments to cher
ish, no enmities to avenge, no wish but the
public good to gratify, and. with a profound
sense of the solemnity of my position, I hum
-My invoke the assistance of our Heavenly
Father, in whom alone is my dependence,
that His strength may sustain and His wis=
dom guide me. With His divine aid I shall
apply myself faithfully and fearlessly to my
responsible duties, and abide the judgment
of a generous people.
Invoking the blessing of the God of our
fathers upon our State and Nation, it shall
be the highest object of my ambition to con
tribute to the glory of the Commonwealth,
maintain the civil and religious privileges of
the people, and promote the union, prosperi
ty and happiness of the country.
Peter Chancery, Esq., and his Five
Dollars :
SHOWING THE BLESSINGS THAT MAY FOL
LOW THE SETTLEMENT OF THE SMALL
EST ACCOUNT.
Sir, if you please, boss would like you
to pay this little bill to-day,' said for the
tenth time, a half grown boy in a dirty.
jacket, to a lawyer in his office.
The attorney at length turned round and
stared the boy full in the face, as if he had
been some newly discovered specimen,
gave, a long whistle, thrust his inky fingers
into one pocket and then into the other of
his black cloth vest, and then gave another
long whistle, and completed his stare at
the boy's face.
Ho, ha, hum ! that bill, eh 2' said the
legal young gentleman, extending the tips
of his fingers towards the well-worn-bit of
paper, and daintily opening it, looked at
the contents.
Hum !—for capping and for heel-tap
ping, six shillings—for foxing, ten and
sixpence, and other sundries, eh ! So
your master wants me to settle this bill,
eh V repeAted the man of briefs.
Yes, sir ; this is the nineteenth time I
have come for it, and I intend to knock
off at twenty, and call it half a day.'
You're an impudent boy.'
I's always impudent to lawyers, ooz
can't help it,—its catchin'.'
4 „
ou've got your eye teeth out, I see.'
That's what boss sent me for, instead
of the 'prentioes as was gettin' their teeth
out. I cut mine at nine months'rold with
a hand-saw. Boss says if you don't pay
the bill, he'll sue you.
Sue me ? I'm a lawyer !'
It makes no odds. Lawyer or.no law
yer, boss declares he'll do it—so fork
over.'
Declares he'll sue me V
As true as there is another lawyer in
Filadelphy.'
c That would be bad !'
c Wouldn't it
'Silence, you vagabond ! I suppose I
must pay this,' muttered the attorney to
himself. Its not my plan to pay these
bills. What is a lawyer's profession good
for, if he can't get , clear of paying his
own bills ? He'll sue met 'Tis just five
,dollars. It comes hard, and he don't want
the money. What is five dollars to him.?
His boy could have earned . it:in the: time
he has been sending him to me for
So your master will sue me for it if 1
don't pay 1'
He says he will do it, and charge you
a new pair of shoes for me'
Harkee ; I oatk't pay you tii-day, and
so if your boss wiasue,mi, just ask him
to employ me as . hie attorney.'
4 Yea I'
4 Yes ; 211 issue the. writ, have it served,
and then you see I shall put:the 0014 into
my own pocket, 'instead of seeing it go
another lawyer's.' So you see if I have
to pay the bill, I'll make oost—oapital

idea !' • -
The boy scratched his head awhile, as,if
striving to comprehend this capital idea,
and shook it doubtingly. PI don't know
about this; it looks tricky. I'll ask boss
though, if as liow you won't pay it no how
without being sued.' , _ ; --

with the greatest pleasure: . •

Good dayto ,

I•was sure his patience was worn . 'out' and
cost - would come of it. 'I like to' get oasts;
but I can't- think a lawyer has anything
to do with paying them. '
As Peter Chancery - did - not believe in
his own mind, that - paying'his debt
Last, was to be any benefit to him, and ;
was of an opinion that it was money thrown
away, let us follow the fate of these five
dollars through the day. ' •
He has paid,' said the boy, , placing
the money in the master's - hand.
-% Well, I'm glad , of it,' answered Mr,
Last, surveying the money through his
glassett---' and its a half eagle too. Now
run and pay . Mr. Furnace,' as the boy
delivered his errand and the money. 'l.
was just wondering where I could get five
dollars, to pay a bill that is due , to-day,-- 7
Here, John, he' called to one of his ap
prentices; 4 put on your hat and' take this
money to - Cape. O'Brine; and tell him I
came within one of disappointing him,
when some money came in I - didit't espect:
Capt. O'Brine was on board his schooner
at the next wharf, and with him was a
seaman with a hat in his hand looking very
gloomy as he spoke with him .
'l'm sorry, my man, I can't pay yon--
bat I have just raised and scraped the
last dollar I can get above water, to pay
my insurance money to-day, and have not
a copper left in my pocket to jingle, but
keys and old nails'
But I am very mush in need, sir ; my
wife is failing, and my family are in want
of a good many things just now, and I
got several articles at the store, expecting
to getmoney of you to take them up as I
went along home. We hain't in the house
no flour, nor tea, nor—'
Well, my lad, I'm sorry. You must
come to-morrow. I can't help you unless
I sell my coat off my back, or pawn my
schooner's kedge. Nobody pays me.'
The sailor who had come to get adiance
of wages, turned away sorrowfully, when
the apprentice boy came up and said in
his hearing :
Here, sir, is five dollars Mr. Furnace
owes you. He says when
. he told you he
couldn't pay your bill to-day, he didn't
expect some money that came in after you
left the shop.
Ah, that's my fine boy! Here, Jack,
take this five dollars, and come on Satur
day and get the balance of your w ages.'
The seaman with a joyful bound took
the piece, and touching his hat, sprung
with a light heart on shore and hastened
to the store where he had already selected
the comforts and necessaries his family
stood so much in need of.
As he entered a poor woman was trying
to prevail upon the store-keeper to settle,
a demand for making his shirts.
You had better take it out of the store,
Mrs. Conway,' he said to her, really I
have not half the amount of your bill to
day, and I don't expect to. I have to
charge everything and no money comes
• '
I can't do without it,' answered the
woman earnestly, g my daughter is very ill
and in want of every comfort ; I am out
of firewood, and indeed I want matij , things
which I have depended upon this money
to get. I worked night and day to get
your shirts done.'
'l'm very sorry, Mrs. Conway,' said
the store-keeper, looking into his money
drawer : 'l've not five shillings here and
—and .your bill is five.dollars and nine
pence.'
The poor woman thought of her invalid
child and wrung her hands.
' A sailor was here awhile ago, and se
lected full five dollars" wortb of articles
here on the counter and went away to get
his wages to pay for them, but I question
if he comes back. If he does and pays
for them, you shall have your money,
madam.'
At till's instant Jack made his appear
ance at the door.
Well, shipmate,' said he, in a tone
much more elevated than when he was
'discovered speaking with the captain,
well, my hearty, hand over your freight.
I've got the documents, so give us posses-
aeon ; and displaying his five dollar piece
he laid hold of the purchases. The store
keeper examining and seeing that the
money was good,-bade him take them with
him; and then,,sighing as he took another
and last look at' the piece, he handed it
to the poor widow, who with - a joyful smile,
received it from' hiin and hastened from
the store. In a loW and , very humble
tenement, near the water, was a fainily of
poor children, whose appearance exhibited
the utmost destitution. On a cot bed lay
a poor woman, ill and emaciated. The
door opened and a man in coarse, patched
garments, entered wits a wood: saw and a
horse, and,Jaid them down by the door
aide and the bed. ,
Are you any better, dear?' he asked
in a rough voice, but in the kindest tones.
No—have you found work 1 If you

The Man gazed upon her pale face a

went Out. He had 'n'ot'gone far' befoire a
woman' met him, and Lseid she wished' Win
to follow and saw some wood for her.—
His heart bounded with hope and gratitude,
and he went after her to her dwelling, an
abode little better thanhisuwn forpoverty ;
yet
,Wearing an air of comfort He sawed
the wood; split and piled it, and received
six-shillings with which he hiStenect to' a

rocco, or Cloth.

Universal History can compare with this, for thefultpey „
and accuracy of its statements, the convenience of its art "'

valuable instruction which it imparts. or for the durability
and neatness of its mechanical execution.
