Got crnor of Pannsytrtai, tod th election o" a Tnited Btfttct Senator, en tbe s&ma day, necessarily attracted an nnusaatlj htrea ura htr of persons to Harrtsburg, yesterday. The new storm tbat prevailed In the forenoon made the weather exceedingly uuplcasant, but towards noon the sun peered through , tbe ctauls and pnt a brighter face upon out door operations. The military processsion and display was large and enthusiastic. It commenced moving at 11 A. AL In the after noon, at 3 T. M., both the Senate and Ilonse of Representative chambers were filled with people to witness the election of a U.S. Sena tor. There was a great deal of interest manifested, although it was well understood that Gen. Cameron would receive the unani mous vote of the Republican party. The only episode that occurred was in tbe Sen ate, when Gen. Fisher, from Lancaster, took occasion to make a slight statement before catting his vote for Gen. Cameron, which, on the evening of the caucus, ho declared but one power on earth could make him do, and that was Thaddcus Stevens, But he did vote for the General, becauso he knew that his con stituents would requlro it. In the afternoon, after the election, the friends of Uen. Came ron held a meeting in the dining room of the Locbiel Ilouse, where the General, At torney General Brewster, Senator Lowry, and Mr. Landon, of Bradford, addressed a largo number of persons present. Gen. Cam eron's speech was well received and did him great credit. Mr Brewster's speech was also felicitous and well conceived. After tbe speaking was concluded, a different species of music commenced. An incessant pop fing of champagne bottles was heard for a full half hour. "Fire and fall back in the rear" was the order given, and carried out with alacrity and a promptness of order that did great credit to those who took an active part in the engagement. What is, perhaps, most surprising is the fact that yen. Cameron's election is not ' only well received by his friends, but by A 1 1 SB savv m . uiose wno opposed mm, we beard a prominent Lancaster county politician, wbo supported Mr. Stevens, declare to-day, in the cars, that Gen. Cameron was a better man for U. S. Senater, at present, than Mr. Stevens, for tbe reason that he was, finan ctally, a stronger and abler man. The truth : Is, his election gives general satisfaction everywhere, and proves that the clamor got up by Lis enemies was wholly for selfish purposes. ELECTION OS UNITED STATES SEN TOR. Don.

HIT" Both branches of Congress have passed resolution convening the Fortieth ' Congrese oe the 4th day of next March, or upon the day of the ediournment of the preseut bc-Cy. Fellow CUbmtc Honored lv the "selec tion of the soveseiga people of my native State as their choice for Chief Magistrate of tbe Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, it is with mingled feelinirs of humility and grati tude that I have appeared in tbe presence of my fellow countrymen, and before the Searcher of all Hearts, to take the solemn obligation prescribed as a qualification for inns cxaitea station, "to support tue con stitution of Pennsylvania, and to perform mv omciai duties witn Detent." Profoundlv sensible of evervtbinff that ia Implied by this manifestation of tbe people's confidence, and more (ImdIt imoressed with tbe vast Importance and responsibilities oi the office, tnen elevated dv us auenaaut honors, let It be our first nrateful duty to return fervent thanksgiving to Almighty God for his constant Drovldence and on- nnmhererl blessings to us as a people, and es pecially mine to implore His aid and counsel in the discbarge of civil trusts, who has been my shield and buckler amidst scenes of peril and death. In addressing you on this occasion, in ac cordance with a custom originating with tho Republican fathers, I propose briefly to express my opinions on such questions as concern our common constituency, and re late to our common responsibilities. Like countries of tbe Old World, onr na tion has had its internal commotions. From the last of these we have scarcely yet emerged, and during which "War's desola tion" passed over our land, leaving its blighting influences principally upon those unfortunate States whose people rebelled against the government, aud notwithstand ing thcjagonizing sacrifices of a great civil war, the States that maintained the govern ment ana determined tnat tne Union suouid be preserved, have constantly advanced in honor, wealth, population and general prosperity. iiiis is tne first time tbat a cunnce nas oc- red in the Executive Department of this State since the commencement of the war of tho rebellion : a brief reference, therefore, to that conflict, and to its results, may not be inappropriate. We have the consolation of knowing that tho contest between the North and the South was not, on our part, one for ambi tion, for military renown, for territorial acquisition, nor was it for a violation of any ot the rictits of the Boutn, but it was tor the preservation .of our own rights and privileges as men, and for the maintenance of justice, liberty and the Union. The ob ject of the South was avowedly tho dissolu tion ot tho Union and tue establishment ot a confederacy based upon "tbe corner stone of human slavery." To have submitted to this on our part, and to Lave shrunk from a manly resistance under such circumstances, would have been deeply and lastingly de grading, and would have destroyed tbe value of the priceless legacy bequeathed to us by our lathers, and which we are obliga ted to transmit unimpaired to future genera tions. The patriotic and Union-loving peo ple felt that tbe alternative was that of life or death to the Union ; and under the aus picious guidance of Abraham Lincoln, tbat virtuous and patriotic Chief Magistrate, with the blessing of Him who directs tbe destinies of nations, after open action and arbitrary violence on the part of the South, the appeal to aims was made. We had a just cause, and our citizens approving it with a degree of unanimity heretofore unknown, in this or any otber country, left their various employ ments, their homes and all that was dear to them, and hastened with enthusiasm to the scenes where duty and danger called, and as the surest pledge of their unswerving love and fidelity to the union, tbey unhesitating ly ottered tbeir lives lor its preservation. Nor was any other tribute withheld in pro viding the means necessary for the support of our fleets and armies. Nearly two mil lions of soldiers entered tho field from time to time on different terms of enlistment. The citizens generally exhibited the highest degree of patriotism in the prompt payment ot uses, in their liberal contributions in the shfipc of loans to the government; and the world was astonished by the amount expen ded iu tbeir benevolent care for the sick and wounded, through the agencies of the Sani tary and Christian Commissions and other charitable associntious. Mote than six hun dred sanguinary battles and skirmishes were fought, in which nearly three hundred thou sand of our heroic defenders laid down their lives in tbeir devotion to the nation "for God and Liberty." In every phase of this terrible conflict, Pennsylvania bore an honorable and conspi cuous part. She contributed three hundred and sixty-six thousand three hundred and twenty-six volunteer soldiers to tho rescue of the nation ; and nearly every battle-field has been nioistcued with the blood, and whitened with tbe bones, of ber heroes. To them we owe our victories, unsurpassed in brilliancy and in tue importance oi their consequences. To the dead the thrice honored dead we are deeply indooted, tor without their services it Is possible our cause might not have been successful. It is natural and eminently proper that we, as a people, should leel a deep and last ing iDicresi lu me present, spa iiuure net ware ot the soidieis who nave borne so dis tinguished a part in the great contest which has resulted in tho maintenance of the life, honor and prosperity of tbe nation. The high claima of the private soldiers upon the country are universally acknowledged, and tbe generous sentiment prevails tbat the amplest care should be taken by tbe govern ment to compensate them, equally and gen erously, with bounties and pensions, for tueir services ana saennces. I desire that it may be distinctly under stood that I do not speak of myself, in con nection with this subject : but I am happy to avail myself of this opportunity to speak kind words of Pennsylvania's gallant private soldiers, ana tue couio oincers w ho com manded them. Th fp.npraniv or the neonle of Pennsvl vauia to the Union soldiers has been imita ted, but not equalled, by otber States. There is something peculiar in the loyalty of Perm sylvania. She seemed to feel, from the first, as if upon her devolved the setting o: a su perior example. Tbe fact tbat she carried upon her standard tbe brightest jewel of the Kepubiio, that in her busoui was conceived and from ber commercial capital was issuod tbe Declaration of Iudcpendence, nave to tier contributions, in men and money, and ber unparalleled charitable organizations. all tbe dignity and force of a model for others to copy. The rebel foe seemed meat has not taken any steps to Inflict thepro per penalties of Jb Constitution and laws upon tne leaders ot tuose wne ruaeiy auu ferociously ; invaded tbe ever sacred soil of onr State. ' , , .') It Is certainly a morbid clemency, ana a censurable forbearance, which fail to punish tbe greatest crimes "known to the laws or civilned nations?" and may not the hope be reasonably indulged, tbat the Federal authorities will cease to extend unmerited m.rrf tA ItinftA wllO inaugurated the rebel lion and controlled the movements of its armies t If this be done, treason eiu be "rendered odious," and it will be distinctly proclaimed, on the pages or our future bis torr. that no attempt can be made with im punity to destroy our Republican form of government. soldiers' orfbaks. And while we would remember "the sol dier who has borne the battle," we must not forget "his widow and his orphan children." Among our most solemn obliga tions is tho maintenance of the indiuent widows, and the support and education of the orphan children, of those noble men who felt in defence of tbe Union. To affirm that we owe a debt of gratitude to those who have been rendered homeless and fa therless, by their parents' patriotic devotion to tbe country, is a truth to which all man kind will yield a ready assent; and though we cannot call the dead to lifo, it is a pri vilege, as well as duty, to take the orphan by tne hand, ana oe to mm a protector ana father. Legislative appropriations have honored the living soldiers, and entombed the dead. The people, at the ballot-box, have Bought out the meritorious veterans, and the noble spectacle is now presented of tho youthful survivors ot those who lull tor tbeir country, cherished and educated at the public ex pense. Even if I were diflercntly constitu ted, my official duties would constrain mo Vigilantly to guard this cacreu trust. But having served iu tb3 same cause, and been honored by tbe highest marks of public favor, I plcdg myself to bear in mind the injunctions and wishes of the people, and if possible to increase the emcioncy and multi ply the benefits of the schools and institu tions, already so creditably established, for tho benefit of the orphans of our martyred heroes. FREEDOM AKD SLAVERY. The infatuation of treason, the downfall of slavery, the vindication of freedom and tbe complete triumph ot the government oi tbe people, are all bo many proots ot tne "Divinity tbat has shaped cur ends," and so many promises of a future crowned with success it we aro ouly true to our mission. Six years ago the spectacle of four millions of slaves, iucrcasing steadily both their own numbers and the pride and the material and political power ot their masters, presented a problem so appainnfr, that statesmen con templated it with undisguised alarm, and the moralist with shame. To-day these four millions, no louger slaves, but treemcn, hav ing intermediately proved their humanity towards their oppressors, tbeir fidelity to society and tbeir loyalty to the gov ernment, are peacefully incorporated into the body politic, and are rapidly pre paring to assume their rights as ciluens of the United States. Notwithstanding this unparalleled change was ouly effected after au awful expenditure of blood and treasure, its consummation may Well be cited as the sublimcst proof of tho fitness of the Ameri can people to administer tbe government ac cording to the pledges of tbe Declaration of Independence. We Lave but to estimate where human slavery would have carried our country, in the course of another generation, to realize the force of this commanding truth. And as we dwell upon the dangers wo have es caped, we may the better understand what Jefferson meant when, in the comparative iufuncy of human slavery, he exclaimed, "I tremblo for my country when I reflect that Uod is just 1" A simple glance at what must have been our late had slavery bceu permitted to in crease will be sufficient, lu 1800 the slave population amounted, in exact numbers, to three millions nine hundred and nity-thrce thousand seven hundred and sixty. Taking the increase, 23.89 per cent., from 1800 to SPO, as the basis ui calculation for every ten years, in 1900, tbey would have numbered least upwards ot nine millions, W hat to feel that if he could strike fatal blow at Pennsylvania, he would recover all bis losses and establish a resistless prestige in the old world, tiut thanks to Divine rrovideoce and to the enduring bravery of our citizen soldiers, tbe invasion of our beloved State sealed ber more closely to tbe cause of free dom. Tbe result of the battle of Gettysburg broke tbe power of tbe rebellion, and al though the final last, was delayed, it was inevitable from the date of that great event. That battle rescued all tbe otber tree States: and when the arch of victory was completed bv Sherman's successful advance from tbe sea, so tbat the two conquerors could shake hands over the two fields tbat closed tbe war, tbe soldiers of Pennsylvania were equal sharers in the glorious consummation. No people in tbe world's hl.tory have ever been saved from so incalculable a calamity and no people have ever had such cause for gratitude towards their defenders. And cere 1 canaot refrain from an ex- preeston of regret tbat tM General Govern at Christian statesman, as he thanks God for the triumph of the Union arms, does not shudder at the terrible prospect presented by these startling figures i iiut while there is cause tor constant sou citude in the natural irritations produced by such a conQict, he is but a gloomy prophet who does not anticipate that tbe agencies which accomplished these tremendous re suits, will successfully cope with and put down all who attempt to gnveru the nation in tbe interests of defeated ambition and vanquished treason The people of the conquering North and West have comparatively little to do but to complete the good work. Tluy command the pot U ton. l he courage of the soldier and the sagacity of the statesman, working har moniously, have now sealed and confirmed tbe victory, and nothing more is required but a faithful adherence to the doctrines which have achieved such marvelous results, EDUCATION OF THE IEOPLK. The overthrow of the rebellion has chang ed the whole system or Southern society, and proportionately affected other interests and sections. Demanding tue enlighten ment oi millions, long ucuignicu, it iorces upon the North and West the consideration of a more perfect and pervading educational policy, Aiucn as wo nave boasted, and have reason to boast, of our common schools, we cannot deny, when we comparo them with those of New England, and contrast tbera with the preparations tor the education of tbo South ern people of all classes, that wo have much to overcome, it we would equal tbe one, or stimulate the other. Tbe recent convention of County School Superintendents of Penn sylvania exhibits some startling facts, which deserve the attention of the people and tbeir representatives. Yet it is not by legislation alone tbat any people can be brought to un demand tbeir relations to each otber as citizens. Tbeir best instructors are them selves. However liberal tbe appropriations may be, it these are not seconded by that commendable spirit which impels the parent to impress upou the child the necessity of a sound moral and intellectual training, your representatives are generous, in vain. Every thing depends upon the people; hence the great complaint, preferred by tho convention of teachers, or shortness or terms in some districts, of the small attendance of enrolled scholars, or tbe employment or unqualified instructors, and of the want of proper school bouses, results unquestionably not so much from tbe indifference of the State, as from the negligence of those who are invited to share and to enjoy the blessings of a cheap and admirable syitem of popular education. If my fellow-citizens will only recollect the difference between the opportunities of tbe present generation ana those oi tueir lathers, ana now much is to be gained by s cultiva tion or modern facilities, tbey will require nine exnorteuon to tne discharge or duties wnicn relate almost exclusively to them selves and to those nearest and dearest to them. Tbe Importance of common schools, In a republican government, can sever be fully estimated. To educate the people Is the highest public duty. To permit them to re main in ignorance Is Inexcusable. Every thing, therefore, should be encouraged that tends to build up, strengthen and elevate our Btate ou ue sure foundation or the edu cation of tbe people. Every interest essd Industrial pursuit will be aided and promo ted by its operations ; every man wbo is educated is Improved in usefulness, in pro. portion as ne is smiled in labor, or intiu gent in the professions, and is in every re spect more valuable to society. Ed station seems to be essential to loyalty, for no State in tne iuii enjoyment or free schools, ever rebelled against the government. rennsyivania should be tbe vanguard in the great mission cf education. She shoulfa remember that as she has been the mother of States, she should also be the teacher of States. ' "The great problem of civilisation ia how to bring the higher intelligence of tne community, and its better moral leenngs, to bear upon tbe masses of tho people, so thst the lowest grades Of Intelligence end merals shall ' alwsys be epproaching the higher, and the higher still rising. A church purified of superstition solves port of this problem, and a good school system docs the rest." ... TITS ST ATI MILITARY. Nothing, after the education of tho poo pic, contributes more to the security of i State than a thorough military system. The fathers of the Republic, acting upon tbe in stinct of preparing for -war in time of pence, embodied this Knowledge among the pri mary obligations of the citizen. Yet the rebellion found us almost wholly unprepared, Our confidence in our Institutions was to firm that the idea of an attack upon them from any quarter, much less from those who had been tbe "spoiled children" of the gov ernment, was never believed possible, bow ever threatened. The first clash of arms found us equally undeceived and unorgan ized, and we very soon experienced that the contrivers of the great slave conspiracy had not only strengthened themselves oy tne stolen ships, arms and fortifications of the governmcnt,but bad been for years dcrigncdly instructing their youth in the science of arms; and when the bloody tempest opened upon us they were ready to spring ut tbe heart of the Republic, while the citizens, in whose hands tho government was left, were compelled to protect themsuhes and their country as best tcey could. vv hen we reflect upoii the borrible sacrifi ces we endured to maintain our liberties, and anticipate that glr.iicjs period of our country when tbe whole continent will be dedicated to human freedom, and when the despotisms of the earth will construe our ex ample into a standing threat against their tyranny, we cannot disregard tho considera tion of this important subject. As belore remarked, Pennsylvania contri buted over three hundred thousand troops to the national cause. Deducting the loss of nearly thousand by wounds aud disease in curred in the field, what an immense army has been left to circulate among and to edu cate tbe mas of our population 1 Properly comprehending this thought, we have at once the secret of our past success, our pre sent safety and our future power. It would be easy to create an emulation in the science of arms among the youth of the State, by proper organization, end to disseminate, in all our schools, tbat loyalty to the whole country, without which there can be no per manent satety lor our liberty. In their Inte report, the visitors to the West Point Military Academy laid a signifi cant stress upon the necessity of such pre ceptors, in the future, as would teach tho students of that institution their first and un- avodiable obligations to the principles upon which the government itself reposes. The neglect of this kind or instruction was tclt in almost every movement during the recent conflict: and it is not going too fur to say that many who disregarded their oaths, and who drew their swords against the govern ment that had educated and nourished them, found a meretricious consolation in the fact that they were permitted to cherish an alle giance to the State in which they were born, which conflicted with and destroyed that love of country which should be made tu preme above all other political obligations. If, in our past and recent experience, there has been exhibited the valuablo and splen did achievements of our volunteers in the natioual defence, there has also been shown the necessity for military skill, and that knowledge of, and familiarity with, the rules of discipline so essentially necessary in their promt and effectual employment, in order, theretorc, to uiako our military system euec tive, we should havo particular regard for the lesson, that to prevent or repel danger, wo should have particular regard lor the lesson, that to prevent or repel danger, our State should always have a well disciplined force, prepared to act with promptness and vigor on any emergency ; nor should welor- get that it is impossible to tell how soon our w arlike energies may again be required in tho held. HOME RESOURCES AKD flOME LABOR. In nothing have our trial during the war, and the resulting triumph to our arms, been 80 full of compensation, as in tbe establish ment of the proud I act that we are not only able to defend ourselves against assault, but what is equally important, to depend v.pon and lice v on our own retoureet. At tho time the rebel inn was precipitated unon us tbe whole business and trade ot the nation was paralyzed. Corn in the West was used for hicl, and tho producer was compelled to lose not only the interest upon his capital, but tbe very capital be bad invested. Labor was in excess, aud men were everywhere search ing for employment. Alius and lurnaces were abandoned. Domestic intercourse was so triflling that the stocks of a number of most important railroads in the country fell to, and long remained at, an average price ot less then titty per cent, iiut the moment danger to the Union became imminent, and tho necessity of scli-reliance was plainly pre sented as the only means of securing protcc tion, and the gradual dispersion of our mer cantile marino by tho apprehension of the armed vessels cf the rebels, tbe American people began to practice upon the maxims of self-defence and self-dependence. From having been, u not absolutely impoverished and altnnat without remunerative enterprise, depressed by unemployed labor and idle capital, all their great material agencies were broucbt into motion with a nroinutitude. and kept in operation with a rapidity and regularity, which relieved them from want, their country from danger, and excited the amazement of civilized nations. Protection to tho manufactures of the country, when rightly viewed, is merely tbo defence of labor against competition from abroad. The wages of labor in the United States is higher than those in any other country, consequently our laborers are tbe more elevated. Labor is the loundation ot both individual and national wealth ; ami those nations that have best protected it from foreign competition, have been the most prosperous, it is clearly, therefore, tbe interest of the nation to foster and protect domestic industry, by relieving trom inter nal taxation every sort of labor, and Impos- sing such heavy duties npon all importations ot foreign manufactured articles, so as to prevent tbe possibility of competition from abroad. Not only abonld individual enter prise and industry be thus encouraged, but an pubiio works, a liberal and properly re stricted general railroad system, and inter nal improvements of every kind, receive the fostering care and most liberal aid of the government. We are rich in every thins necessary to meet our wants, and render ua independent of every other country, and we beve only to avail ourselves of our own re sources and capabilities, to progress continu ally onward to a degree of greatness never yet attained by any pation.

To that law, elded as it was by the admirable action of the Treasury in supplying machinery of circulation, we stand now indebted for the fact that we have, in tho'short space of five years, produced more food, built more houses and mills, opened more mines, constructed more roads than ever before, sod so greatly added to the wealth of tbe country, that tbe property of tbe loyal States would this day exchange for twice the quantity of gold that could five years since have been obtained for all the real and personal property, southern chattels excepted, of the whole ot the States and territories of which tbe Union stands composed." If the principal of protection proved to be such a talisman in the time of war, shall we reject it in time of peace t If sn answer were needed to this question, reference could be had to the repeated concessions to this principle by the recent free traders of the South, scarcely one oi tue aruomous meu who led their unfortunate people into rebel lion, but now freely admits that if the South had manufactured their own fabrics, on their own plantations, and cultivated skilled la bor in their great cities, they would have been able to prolong tueir cocuict witn toe government ; and now, to enjoy suustantiui, instead of artinciai prosperity, tuey musi in voke the very agencies they bad so long and so fatally disregarded. Words need not be multiplied upon this important ineuic, ei ther to make my own position stronger, or to impress upon tbe people the value ot ad hering to a system which has proved itself worthy of our continued support, and of the imitation of its former opponents. riSASCEs. The exhibit of tbe finances of the Com monwealth, as presented in the late annual message ot my predecessor, and tue report of the State Treasurer, is certainly very gra tifying ; and the flattering prospect of the speedy extinguishment of the debt which has been bsnging, for so many years, like a dark cloud over tbe prospects of our State, combined with tho hope that a reasonable . ,! . 1. -1.1. 1 reduction win ue maue in our uauuuai an nual expenditures, will cheer the people on ward in the pathway of duty. Among the most delicate and important obligations required of those in official po sitions, is a strict and faithful management of the public revenues aud expenditures of the Commonwealth. Taxation should be ap plied where its burdens may be least felt, and where it is most just that it should be borne. Every resource should be carefully husbanded, and tho strictest economy prac ticed, so that the credit of the State shall be maintained on a firm and enduring basis, end the debt surely and steadily diminished, until its final extinguishment. Unnecessary delay in this would, in my opinion, be in compatible with our true interests. That these expectations ere capabio oi speedy and certain consummation, has al- ready been demonstrated, iuo puunc im provements, the cause of our heavy debt, which seemed to be an incubus upon the prosperity of the State, so long as they were managed by her agents, uave necn soui ; ine tax on real estate has been abolished, and considerable reductions have already been made on tbo State debt. This important branch of the administra tion shall receive my constant and zealous attention. EXECUTION OF TIIB LAWS, The general and essential principles of law and liberty, declared in tbu Constitution of Pennsylvania, shall be watchfully guarded, It will be my highest ambition to adminis ter the government in the true spirit of that instrument. Care shall be taken " that the laws be faithfully executed," and the deci sions of tbe courts respected and enforced, it within their authorized jurisdiction, in fiuenced only by considerations for the pub lic welfare, it is my imperative duty to see that justice be impartially administered. Tbat merciful provision, the pardoning pow er, conferred upon the Executive doubtlessly tor correcting only tho errors or criminal ju risprudence, and securing justice, snail not be perverted to the indiscriminate protec tion of those who may be justly sentenced to bear penalties for infractions of tbe laws made for the security and protection of so ciety. Those "cruelly" or "excessively" punished, or erroneously convicted, are alone entitled to lta uenenccnt protection, ana ooiy such should expect its exorcise in their behalf. Whenever the people deem it expedient or necessary, from actual experience, to alter the laws, or to amend the constitution, it is their undoubted right to do, according to the mode prescribed within itself. I here repeat, what I have said elsewhere, that " so long ss the people feel tbat the power to el ter or change the character of the govern ment abides in tbcm, so long will tbey be impressed with the sense of security and of uiguity which must ever spring irom tne consciousness that they hold within tbeir own bands a remedy for every political evil a corrective for every governmental abuse ana usurpation.- TBI RATIONAL SITUATION. We are confessedly in transition state, It is marvelous how prejudice has perished in the furnace of war, and how, trom tbe very esbes of old hatreds and old parties, the truth rises purified and triumphant. The contest between the Executive and a Con gress twice elected by substsntlslly tbe same suffrages, a contest so anomalous in our ex perience as not to have beer, anticipated by tha framera of the National Constitution, has only served to develop tbe remarkable energiea or our people, ana to strengioea them for future conflicts. Thst contest is virtually decided. . . Tha victorious forces, physical and moral of tbe patrlotio millions, are aimply pausing before they perfect me worn oi rewuru. tion. Twantv-aix States have not only been saved from tho conflagration, of war, but have been erveta istf in the as v log. 1 o enrestored tea. still disaffected and still de fiant, sjeea to be rrovidenUally delaylag tbeir return to tbe Unloose tbat when they re-enter upon its . obligation and iu bles sings tbey will be tbe better i able to fulfil tne one ana enjoy ine einer. sneircoDui- tion is a rearrnl warning to men ana na tions, an4 especially to ourselves. Until blavery fell we did not fully under stand the value of Republican Institutions. Accustomed to tolerate, and In many cases to defend slavery, we did not feel that its close proximity, so far from assisting, was gradually destroying our liberties; anu it waa only wbon rebellion tore away tbe mask, tbat wo saw tbe bediooa- features of tbe monster that was eating out the vitala of tbe Kepublic. If we are now astonished and shocked at the- exhibition of cruelty and Ingratitude amoag those who, having inaugurated and prosecuted a causeless war against a gener ous government, and having been permitted to escape the punishment they deserve,' are once more arrogantly clamoring to assume CVOirui VI IBV UCRLIUICf V. ..lis grva. uuvi.ru, how much greater cause would we have bad for surprise had slavery bee permitted to Increase and multiply t Boast ss we may of our material and out mqral victories, yet it is not true that there is no such thing as a Republican govern ment In the ten States tbat began and carri ed on tbe war t There is not to-day, a des potic State in Europe where the rights of tbe individual man are so defiantly trampled under foot, as In the sections which were supposed to have been brought into full submission to tbe Government of the Unit ed States. But the disease has suggested its Providential cure. The abhorrent doctrine, that defeated treason shall not only be magnanimously pardoned, but introduced to yet atrongcr privileges, because of its guilty failure, seems to have been insisted upon, as if to strengthen the better and the contrasting doctrine, tbat a nation, having conquered its freedom, is Its own best guardian, and tbat those wbo were defeated in honorable battle ahould be constrained - to submit to all the terms of the conqueror. Tbe violators of the most solemn obliga tions, the perpetrators ot the most atrocious crimes in the annals of time, the murderers of our heroic soldiers on fields of battle, and in loathsome dungeons and barbarous pri sons, tbey must not shall not, re-appear in the council chambers of the nation, to aid in its legislation, or control its destinies, unless it shall be on conditions which will preserve our institutions from their baleful purposes and influence, and secure republi can forms of government, in their purity and vigor, in every section ot the country. That thev are indisDOsed to accept such conditions, is manifest from their recent and even arrogant rejection or tho proposed amendments of the national Constitution amendments which are believed, by many true and patriotic citizens and statesmen, to be too mild and generous. They have, however, been fully considered by the people during the late elcctious, and approved by majorities so large as to give them a sanction which it would be improper to either ouerlook or disregard. And cer tainly in view of this fact, none of the late rebel States should be admitted to their former "practical relations" to the General Government, while they continue to oppose these amendments. To the Congress of the United States the heartfelt sympathies and overwhelming suf frages of the people have been generously given. They have fearlessly proclaimed their unequivocal verdict "Well done oood and FAiTUKf l seuvaxts." Upon the deliberations and actions of Congress our present interests and future welfare all de pond. In its firmness and courage the whole experiment of genuine republicanism is indissolubly involved. That this firmness end courage will be lully exhibited by its controlling majorities, in the origination and adoption of measures of wisdom and 1 discretion, even more radical and decisive, if necessary, than those of the past, I enter tain no doubt. Such measures will meet with my cordial approval. And I may well add. that Pennsylvania will confide in a loy al Congress, she will uot hesitate to sustain t with her entire lunuence and power. That in the administration of the govern ment I may err, is only what should be ex pected from the iutirmities of tho human mind; but as 1 enter upon tbe discharge ot my responsible duties with a firm resolution to act with honesty and impartiality, I trust my errors will be regarded with charity and treated with the gentleness of magnanimous forgiveness. And I earnestly hope that my intercourse with my fellow-citizens of tho Senate and House of Representatives will bo so frank and cordial, that our duties to a common constituency will be pleasantly and faithfully discharged. Different branches of tbe gov ernment as we are, with distinctive duties, we are nevertheless parts of one organized and well regulated system, and as we co operate or disagree, the interests of the State probably be promoted or retarded. Elected by the people, desirous to promoto tbe weliare ot every citizen, mere party dif ferences should not be allowed to interfere with the maintenance of a generous, a true and comprehensive pubiio policy. It was the illustrious Washington, equally distinguished as a warrior and a statesman, wbo gave utterance to the declaration, "that the propitious smiles of Heaven cannot be expected on a nation that disregards the eternal rules of order snd right;" and Jeffer son, who asserted that "whatever Is morally wrong cannot be politically right." These utterances express my deepest convictions ot the rules and principles which should per meate and control all governments. Let us. fellow-citizens, adkear to them, le governed by tuem, and our etiorts will be happily united in surrounding the institutions of our btate, as well as those of our nation, with a rampart of truth tbat will repel the madness of ambition, the schemes of usurpa tion, and successfully resist tbu changes and agitations ot all coming time.
