UNITED BTATSft SENATOR.
The indications are that Gb Cameron-
will be oar next United States Bcnator, in
place of Edgar Cowan, whose term expires
n Ida 4th of March. Whatever claims may
be advanced on tbo part of the principal
competitors of the General, it is generally
conceded that the prominent position
General Cameron occupied in the Uuion
party, during the Rebellion, gives him great
strength with the people.
. fiouo of the very arguments used against
Mm, will stand as caduring monuments to
his foresight and sagacity. The charge
that ho was compelled to leave President
Lincoln i tjabinet only shows that be was
ahead of the tunes. Is) tbo beginning of the
Rebellion he advocated the policy of cmon
cipating and arming the slaves. This policy
the President and his Cabinet, after several
years of hand fighting, and the expenditure
of several hundred millions of dollars, were
eventually compelled to adopt. No man need
have a prouder record than his compulsory
retirement from the Cabinet, for such reasons,
The election for United States Senator takes
place on the 15th inst.
THE GOVEBNOB'B MESSAOH.
We are indebted to Gov. Curtin for an
advance copy of his last message. It is a
brief) but important and interesting doou
ment. The Governor sums up, in a business
way, the affairs of the Commonwealth, and
the exhibit is, one that should be gratifying
to every good citizen of tho Keystone State,
No Governor of the State leaves a prouder
record behind hica. The Governor takes
strong grounds in favor of the amendments
to the Constitution. He also reccommands
the continuation of the appropriation fox the
education of the orphan of soldiers, and
advisee that some provisions be made for
soldiers in poverty. He also reccommends
that Jury commissioners should bo elected
in each county, the same as inspectors of
elections, are now elected. Tho Governor
also reccommends a general railroad law,
for the incorporation of railroad companies.
The public debt since 1861 has been reduced
over five and a half millions of dollars. At
this i a to tho public debt can be extinguished
in fifteen years.

Commonwealth in the last six years. A
careful attention to the revenues of the
Commonwealth, with such just and prudent
changes as may be required in the future,
ana a wise economy in expenditure, win, in
my judgment, ensure the entire payment ot
the public debt, within the period of fifteen
years.
'1 be time flxed Tor the redemption ot f as,
108,626 24 of the indebtedness of the Com
monwealth having expired, I recemmend
that provision be made for its redemption,
by making a new loan for that purpose,
payable at such periods as the prospective
revenues will justify.
I present, for yonr consideration, the
amendments to the Constitution of the
United States, proposed to the Legislatures
of the several States by a resolution of both
Houses of Congress, passed on the 10th day
of June last. I was glad that it was possi
ble, without delaying the final adoption of
these amendments, to ascertain tile opinion
of om people upon them, at the general
election, in October last.
The right of prescribing the qualifications
of voters is exercised by the respective
states, under the Constitution of 1788; three
fifths of the slaves were counted in ascer-
taining the representative population of the
several Btatos. The amendment to me con
stitution abolished slavery in all the States
and Territories. Though it was formerly
otherwise in most, if not all, of the old
Southern States, yet for many years post
free Negroes have cot, in any ot these, been
permitted to vote. At present, therefore,
the late slave States would be entitled to
count the wholo of their former slave popu
lation, as a basis for representation, instead
of three-fifths thereof. That is to say, they
would have in the existing ratio about
twenty more members of Congtess than they
had before slavery was abolished, and the
free States would lose the same cumber,
making a difference of about forty members
of Congress, or, say, one-sixth of the whole
body, in other words, the treason of tue
rebellious States, the suppression of which
lias cost us so many hundreds ot thousands
of precious lives, and so many thousands of
millions ot treasure, would be rewarded oy
giving them a vast increase of political
power. This absurdity, the second clause
of tho proposed amendments, designs to
prevent, by the just, equal and moderate
provision, that in future, the representative
population of each State shall be ascertain
ed by making a proportionate deduction
from the whole population thereof, if its
laws exclude from the privilege of voting,
any male citizens, not criminals, of the age
of twenty-one years. 1 have yet to learn
that any plausible objection can be offered
to such a provision.
1 he third clause of the proposed amend
ments excludes from Congress, and from the
College of Electors, and from all offices,
civil and military, of the United States, or
of any State, persons who, as functionaries
of the United States, or as Executive or
Judicial officers of any State, have hereto
fore sworn to support the Constitution
the United States, and afterwards violated
their oath by engaging in rebellion against
tbe same, unless Congress, by a vote of two-
thirds, shall have removed the disability oi
any such persons.
The fourth clause affirms tho validity
the debt of the United States, and prohibits
the assumption or payment of the rebel
debt, or of any claims for the loss or eman-
cipntion of any slave.
'1 he mtn clause provides that congress
shall have power to enforce the provisions
ot tbe other clauses by appropriate legisla
tion.
That these wise and moderate provisions
will meet the hearty approbation of the
Legislature, I cannot doubt. If proposed
by two-thirds ot each. House ot Congress
and ratified by three-fourths of the Legisla
tures of the States, the Constitution pro
vides that they should stand as adopted
amendments of that instrument
A question has been raised whether the
States lately is rebellion, aud net yet re
stored to their privileges by Congress, are
to be counted on this vote in other words,
whether those who have rebelled and been
subdued shall be entitled to a potential
voice in the question of the gaurantees to
be required of them for future obedience to
the lavs. So monstrous a proposition is.
it appears to me, not supported by the words
or spirit oi the Constitution, Iue power
to suppress insurrection, includes the power
of making provision against its breaking
out afresh. These States have made an un
just war upon our Common Government
and their bister btates, and tbe power given
by the constitution to matte war on our
part, includes the power to dictate, after
our success, the terms of peace and restoration.
Tbe power of Congress to guarantee to
every btate a ltcpublican form ot Uovern-
ment, would cover much more cogent ac
tion than has yet been had.
me duty imposed upon Congress, to pro
vide and maintain republican governments
for the States, is to be accepted in tbe
broadest meaning of the term. It is not a
1.741.033 27 mere formal or unnecessary provision. The
power was conierrea, ana the duty enjoined,
to preserve free institutions against all en
croachments, or the more violent elements
of despotism and anarchy.

- f rr m T
me annual report oi xion. i nomas u. our
rowes, Superintendent of the maintenance
and education of the soldiers' orphans, will
exhibit tbe present condition and the result
thus far of that undertaking. Nearly three
thousand of tbe destitute children of the
brave men who laid down their lives that
the nation might live, are now not only
comfortablv provided for and gnarded from
temptation, but receiving an education which
will fit them to re-pay the care or tbe btate.
The appropriation made for this purpose,
at the last session, has been sufficient to
meet all expenses of the financial year just
closed. And I recommend whatever appro
priation may be necessary, to continue and
perfect the system under which the schools
are conducted.
There can be no doubt that the appropria
tion will be made. Were I to select any
State interest which I would more warmly
commend to your prompt attention and
liberality than another, it would be this.
All Pennsylvanians are proud of it, and it
lies near the hearts of all true men.
Owing to their greater destitution and
want of information on tho part of their re
latives, the orphans of our colored soldiers
may require some special attention. Per
haps authority to the State Superintendent,
to nsc, for a short time, the services or an
agent, to ascertain their number and claims,
and bring them into the schools that may be
provided tor them, will be sufficient, iue
whole number in the State is not largo, of
whom a few have already been temporarily
provided for.
l recommend that provision be made tor
the maintenance of such of our soldiers as
are In poverty, end have been so maimed as
to prevent them from securing a livelihood
by their labor, by renting buildings at once,
or such other means as you may deem wise
and proper, until the arrangements proposed
by the National Government lor their sup
port are completed. Thev are probably few
n number, and it is due to tbe character oi
the Commonwealth, that they should not
remain in, or become tho inmates of, poor
houses, or pick up a precarious subsistence
by begging. Patriotic and charitable citizens
have done much for them, but speedy and
proper relief can only be given them by the
systematic and continued benevolence of the
Commonwealth. The Legislature can alone
afford immcdiato relief to all of this class of
our citizens, and in thus exhibiting gratitude
to heroic and faithful men, who did so much
for the country, the burden will tall equally
on all her people.
By our existing laws, juries are selected by
the sheriff and commissioners of the respec
tive counties. As these officers are generally
of similar political affinities, the system has
always been in danger of being abused for
partisan purposes. During tho last six years,
and the National Government, and duties to
be performed, in the removal and care of
bodies of. the dead, which require it An
additional- appropriation will be required

I earnestly recommend, in justice to the
living and the dead, that our military history
pe pushed forward vigorously, and that
money for that purpose be appropriated.

I invite your attention to the condition of
tbe Arsenal.
It is too smallunsafe as a depository for
the large amount of valuable military ma
terial to bo kept in it, and is, in all respects,
inconvenient and not adapted to its purpo
ses.
Much inconvenience was experienced dur

safety, and I recommend that ground be
procured and a new and commodious arsenal
be erected in or near the Capital of the

I drew thy Warrant on the Treasury for five
thousand dollars, appropriated to the Na
tional Cemetery at Antictam, and appointed
Major Ueneral Jno. It. Brooke, trustee to
represent the State. Before the warrant was
drawn I appointed Colonel Wm. H. Blair
and Captain J. Merrill Linn, who examined
the ground and made a full investigation,
their report of which accompanies this mes
sage. It will be noticed that they report
seven hundred and ninety-seven bodies of
Pennsylvanians that will be removed into
the cemetery, and recommend an additional
appropriation, in which I most cordially
unite.
I cannot close my last Annual Message.
without renewing the expression of my gra
titude to the freemen of the Commonwealth,
for tho hearty approval with which they
have cheeicd the labors of tho Executive
Office. To have earned such approval by
my official conduct, during tho last six
years, must always be a sourco of pride to
myscit and children, without the con
sciousness that I was endeavoring to deserve
their approval, and without the hope tnat I
should succeed in attaining it, I must have
sunk under the responsibilities or my posi
tion. It was only a reliance on Divine
Providence, and the activo, resolute, hearty
support and zeal of the people, and their
representatives, that encouraged me during
the dark and terrible crisis through which
the country has passed. 1 tried to do my
duty to my country, and know I was at
least faithful to her deep distress, and I con
ceived that duty not to bo limited to tne
merely putting of men into the field to sup
press treason and rebellion, and maintain
the national lite, and doing ot everything in
my power to sustain the just war forced
upon us. I felt also bound, so far as I could,
to protect and promote the rights and com
orts of our volunteers, after they had left
the State, to aid relieve the sick and wound'
ed, and to care for the transmission, to their
bereaved families, of tbe precious bodies of
the slain, and the maintenance and educa-

To secure, as far as possible, tho adminis

passed without due consideration, much of
it at the close of the session, and is chiefly
objectionable from the partiality with which
powers and privileges are conferred.
I again recommend the passage of general
laws, when it is at all practicable, and in
this connection, recommend the passage of
a general law, regulating railroads now ex
isting and tbe incorporation of new com
panies, co that so far as possiblo there may
be iust uniformitv in the franchises granted,
and equal facilities afforded to the people of
all sections of tbe Commonwealth,
There are at this time, in the various pri
sons, a number of persons under sentence of
tleath, some ot them tor many years, ana as
it has become a custom that an incoming
Governor should not issue a warrant of exe
cution in cases unacted on by his predecessor,
it not unfrequently happens that in many
cases, some ot which are recent, while some
punishment should be inflicted, that of death
mav appear to tbe Executive to be too severe.
I earnestly repeat my recommendation

the reception of such persons into the peni

intendent of Common Schools, on tbe expi

tinued at tho head of that Department until
the first of November, when he resigned,
and I appointed Col. J. P. Wickereham. it
is due to Mr. fjoburn to say, that he luumiea
all the duties of his office faithfully and
efficiently. It appears from his report, that
there were In the school year ot iuo, i.eoa
school districts in tbe State; 13,140 schools;
16.141 teachers, and 725.812 pupils, with an
average attendance or 478,uuo. rue toiai
cost of tbe school system, for tbe entire
State, including taxes levied and State ap
propriation, was for the year 1806, $4,105,-
258 57. The increase in the number of
school districts was 20 : in the number of
schools, 222; in the number of children
attending school, 19,032; in tbe average
attendance at school, 18,045, and in the total
cost of the system, f 581,020 03. 1 invite
your attention to the valuable suggestions
made in bis report, ana tnat or ioi. ty icier

instruction to the continued fostering care
of tbe Legislature.

The Agency at Washington should, in my

It will be necessary to continue tbe office
