The Wilmington Uommereial says :
()n Thursday of last week, at about ten
o'clock the fodder stacks and shedding of
Wm. S i . Potter, of Sassafras neck, in Cecil
county, were consumed by a fire of incendiary
orio • - ? in. The barn adjoining was. with much
dithculty, saved. Every friend of order and
morality - will- regret snar . action - '"con:'
dorm its perpetrators, yet everyman familiar
with human nature, and having a knowledge
of the circumstances in this case, would ex
pect just snch.things as this.
This Potter is the young viliMn who mur
dered a colored man iu cold blood, last July,
because he had quit working for him. He was
acqbitted by a jury of his " peers," after the
veriest farce of a trial that ever disgraced a
civilized community. The verdict declared to
the colored people of Cecil that they need ex
pect no protection of their -lives from .Cecil
Courts if one of "the chivalry" were the
mmderer; and the white people confess the
villainy they sanctioned by immediately at
tributing this arson to the friends of the mur
dered man.
Suspicion fastened on on Jack Davis, and
he was visited by a party of .men from the fire
who threatened his life by hanging. Some
men. not yet quite ready for tho inauguration
of a war of the torch and the knife interfered
to prevent any further action.

windows of houses all along the line were.
tilled with people.
When all entitled logo upOn, the platform
bad got their places, a prayer was offered by
Reverend Bishop Simpson, of the 'Methodist
Episcopal Church.
The oath of office was then administered to .
the Governor, who then delivered the follow
ing address :
Fellow Citizens :—Having been honored, a
second time, by the voluntary suffrages of my
countrymen as their choice for Chief Magis
trate of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
I have,. in the presence of - God and of this
assembled multitude, r_•newed the soleinn and.
binding obligation required of nie by la*, to
support the. State and National Constitutions,
and to Perform with fidelity the duties devolv
ing upon me as Governor. It shall be my
constant aim and most earnest effortto ob
serve the very letter as well as the full spirit,
meaning and intent of the obligation I have
just taken.
Deeply impressed with the most profound
gratitude, I can but express my most hearty
thanks to the good citizens of this Common
wealth for the generous confidence and 'parti
ality they have reposed in
.me by re-election
to the most honorable and most responsible
position.in their gift. But knowing well their
exactions and requirements of one who occu
pies a poSition so exalted, it is with extreme
diffidence I again undertake responsibilities
of such va.stimportance, which even the bold
est and most gifted might hesitate
to
,assume. And however determined
May be my endeavors to realize the ex
pectations of my friends in support of the tight,
and to battle against whatever, in my judg
,
went, may be wrong ) still I am conscious of
the necessity for some sustaining power; and,
therefore, I unhesitatingly aeknowledge my
dependence upon the enlightened support and
patriotism, of my feLove-citizens, and my firm
reliance upon the unerring wisdom and never
failing aid of Rim who controls alike the des
tinies of individuals and of nations.
The settlement of the vexed questions grow
ing out of the armed conflict with treason, de
volves a mighty responsibility on the loyal
'nen of the land. Armed rebellion was sig
nally crushed by the force of armed loyalty,
and the Government has triumphantly estab
lished in; ability successfully to. suppress do
mestic insurrection, however gigantic. The
war itself - has served to stimulate our people
to fresh energies, and to the developnient of
new enterprises. Our manufactories have
multiplied, plenty-has smiled upon oar fields,
and blessed the labors of the huSbandman.
Peace has restored our people to their homes,
and cheered our firesides. The rates of tax
ation have been :reduced, and are entirely
abolished 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 other chari
ties. The cause of education has advanced,
and the institutions for the support
and tuition of the soldiers' orphans have
been liberally supplied. 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 the . foremost
rank of the powers of the earth. The great
railroad which binds our State to the far
Vest, and it in turn to the oriental nations,
has been completed, and all our etbarts to add
to our >iiaterial prosperity have been crowned
with unparalleled success. .: .
It was my privilege to announce from this
stand, three-years ago, the principles-which
would guide in- the administration of the
office of Governor. At that time I dwelt
upon and expressed my views in reference to
all questions then. occupying a share of :pub
lie attention. I have since, from tine to
time, in messages to the Legislature, set
forth the condition__ of. the 'State, recom
mended such measures as -- I deeined expedi
ent and calculated to advance her interests,
and expressed my views upon the various
topics of the day that were of State or Na
tional importance. And having fully reflected
thereon, I am the more confirmed therein,and
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 in
its broadest sense, as a representative, to my
constituents, and considering the magnitude
of the interests which have again been com
mitted to my charge,' feel it is due to the peo
ple and incumbent upon myself, to refer them
to the documents indicated, for an outline of
thi general policy which is intended as a guide
for the incoming administration, rather than
encumber this address or unnecessarily delay
thin audience with their repetition. I
have no new pledges to make, but
confidently refer to the record of my
past life, as evidence at least' of my zeal and
devotion to the best interests of my State and
country ,and for the rectitude of my intentions.
And although the ability which 1 bring to the
discharge et such high duties may be limited,
Isbell Confidently rely upon the kind indulg

entious effort to uphold unblemished, and
transmit untarnished to my successor in office,
and to posterity, the fair fame and good name
of our magnificent did Commonwealth.

Mildly surround your Executive officer in
the dischare of the many duties devolving
aeon him, concerning each of which there
may be conflicting opinions. It being, there
!etc, impossible to satisfy all, his only safe-
Ward Is to adopt, and act in accordance with
;hose sterling and beneficent maxims to which
;he early fathers gave utterance, which have
been-sanctioned by wisdom and experience,
Eind resulted in the rapid growth and nros
oerity of our institutioas, and the liberty and
sappiness of our people.
The Constitution vests "the supreme Ex
ecutive power" of the State iu the Governor,
and directs that "he shall take care that the
laws lie faithfully executed." The supremo
earthly authority recognized by us, therefore,
is the law—then htfully determined will of
the people.. ,! No citizen is so exalted as to
be above, and none so low as to be beneath its
power." TIMEXCelitiVe is as much
_the suh
ject of tlie laws of the. State as the humblest
individual within its herders. In pursuance
of these principles, and in the executiell of
•
Inaugural Address.
I be laws, I have endeavored, during my term
of office, faithfully to discharge every official
duly with a full reference to my sworn, obli
gation, and as I shall answer at the last :great
•nay. . . ,
ft should be out. earnest effort to faithfully
diScharge all our obligations and responsibili
ties, both' as 'citizens and magistrates. We
should cease to tolerate anything aa ‘( politi
cally right, that is morally wrong," and actively
proscribe the coy - motion which too frequently
marks the administration of public affairs—an
evil to which attention cannot too frequently
or too forcibly be invited. , No sign more aer
tainly indicates the downfall of free Institu
tions than the indifference of the people to
the moral depravity of those in authority.
All history warns us to hold to our
integrity as we value our • national
existence. Forcibly impressed witfitheseideas,
I call upon all legislators, and upon all Other
good citizens, and especially upon the conduc
tors of the public press—the ever-faithful sen
tinels of a free people—to aid in giving' that
tone to public sentiment which shall purify
our State, and relieve her from the reproach
of even countenancing those who would
make a traffic of their offices in violatioa of
their obligations. Look to it well and closely,
fellow-citizens, and begin at once to teach your
servants that the "public will" Must be obeyed,
and that'the "public weal" is the first object
to be attained in a - free government. If you
permit speculators to enrich themselves out of
the public Treasury, and at the same tirneto
corrupt the law-making branch of the Govern
ment, 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 lime and
attention. If eurliational industry and natu
ral productions, represented - by .thousands of
factories; mines' and other sources of labor,
are to be preserved, there should be no reduc
tion of duties which shall enable the underpaid
and overworked population ofthe 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 products of our artisans at our
very doors, and our factories would be closed,
as; heretofore, by similar causes. This will
throw out of employment thousands of indus
trious men.and entail ruin upon them and their.
families. Merely for the benefit and aggran
dizement of foreign manufacturers and capital
ists. As soon as our industrial arms are para
lyzed and competition is destroyed, the mo
nopolist 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. Impelled by every
feeling of interest,hutuanity and justice for our
artisans and laborers. we should unhesi
tatingly set our faces against this heresy. We
should, tlierefore, not only earnestly legislate
for the benefit of capital, but for the toiling
sons and daughters of our country. It should. j
be our constant effort to improve their social I
condition, to advance their intellectual status,
and above all to shield them from the destitu
tion 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
Government. Re nation can long exist that
attempts TO violate any of its obligations. The
most prominent among these is the faithful
payment of all its„indebteclness. No good
reason can be given for the repudiation of a
single farthing. I said in my message of
January, 1868, "The people of Pennsylvania,
ever true to the Union, and unswerving in their
determination to preserve its honor, integrity
and" perpetuity, are proud and free to assert
the sacredness °tale national debt, and that
it's ultimate payment in full must be secured."
In my message of 1869, I called attention to
the same subject, in these words : " The voice
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 , indebted
ness, no matter how heavy the burden,
will be paid according to the letter
and spirit of the agreements made and en
tered into at the time the debt was contracted;
and that iu this, as in all other respects, our
individual and national honor must and shall
be preserved." These sentiments, so clearly
expressed, I have taken frequent occasion to
reiterate, and it affords me great satisfactiOn
to observe that many who have heretofore
been hostile to, or silent on this most impor
tant subject, are becoming warm in their ad
vocacy of the principles here enunciated.
Those who saved this government from the
destruction designed by treason are they who
will perpetuate it as a blessing for future
generations. All that is asked of the people is
to strengthen andupliold the hands of the men
who have been called to do the work of recoil
.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 government and a country mighty in
their munificence, glorious in their pros.;
perity.
The preseryation of the peace and quiet of
our country, maintaining unsullied our
national honor,and the harmony of the Union,
are amonr , our highest duties. Let us encour
age every branch of homo industry, advance
the true interests of moral, physical and intel
lectual labor, and reaching forward to the
prize of the manifest destiny of our glorious
Commonwealth ; we may hope for her increas
ing prosperity, and, above all, for the smiles
of an approving Providence.
I earnestly invoke a continuance of the
blessings and favors which we, as a people,
.have long enjoyed, that Pennsylvania may be
ever 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 of universal freedom, justice and
humanity. Then can we with truth and pride
proclaim, "Long live the Commonwealth,"
whose guiding principles are found in the
motto of our State, " VIRTUE, LIBERTY AND
INDEPENDENCE."
At the close of the address a salute was
fired, and the Governor was escorted to the
Executive Mansion, on Front street.
This evening there will be an exhibition of
fireworks, under charge of Professor Jackson,
of Philadelphia, in Market square. There
will also be an inauguration ball In Brant's
Hall.
SECOND DESPATCH.
• HADDISDUEG, Jan,lB.-,The day has proved
a glillietis one, and everything went off bril
liantly. The procession was very imposing.

Owing to the presence of the xcelsior re
giment (coloredh of Philadelphia, the Friend
ship Steam Fire Company, of Harrisburg,,
left the line on Market Square amid demon
strations of approval and disapproval from
the bystanders and " others. It had
been generally agreed among the firemen that
if the colored soldiers held aultpositiou in the
parade the whole fire department should leave
in a body. But the Friendship, which was to
have led the rest, was the only company leaving.
The Governor had been previously advised
that any dissent of the 'Fire Department
should not be regarded as accomplished out of
any disrespect to • him. As :.the procession
advanced all the other , emeapanies
left, including the whole Harris
burg Fire Department. The Good
Engine and the Geed - Hose
