The Govenor's Message.
Governor Geary's message has been J
published. It is a very lengthy document, !
fully as long as President Johnson's last j
Annual Message. We have not room for j
it entire, but give below an abstract of the |
more important parts, which we extract
from the Philadelphia Morning Post:
The first part of the Message is devoted to
a consideration of the State finances. The j
Govenor ca i- attention to the tact that du- j
ring the entire year a very large sum o!
money is in the keeping of the State Tieas
urer. This sum at present amounts to
considerably over four millions of dollars. !
It is unnecessary that the gr-ater portion
of this money should bo kept in the Treas
ury.
It can be loaned, with ample security
i for its repayment when needed, for cer
i tain specific periods, at a reasonable rate
I of inter9t. and the proceeds placed in the
i treasury tor the benefit of the State. Ihe
! fund thus acquired could be added to the
sir king fund, and could materially aid in
the reduction of the State debt.
A glance at the condition of the Treas
i urv will show that at least four millions of
dollars might be loaned, at tour per cent.
! would reahze the handsome sum of $160,-
| 000 per annum.
i The total ;n the Treasure, November 30
! 1867, was $30,243,395.88. Payments
J during the fi-cal year $25,243.558,88. —
Balance in Treasury, Nov 30, $4,661,836.
46, of which $2,937,987,55 are applicable
!to payment of over due loans, leaving a
balance of $1,723,857.91. Public debt
Nov. 30, 180G, $34,706,431,22.
Of the School syst. m the Governor then
j speaks, recommending uniformity of books
'and graduation of schools,and recommends
j the Agricultural College to the Legislature.
! He then refers to the Gettysburg Cemetery
protesting against the inteimer.t of Rebel
i dead therein. The thorough revision of
the civ 1 code by W ayne Mc\ eigh, David
i Dicker-on, and tV. M. Hall, is said to be
!in satisfactory progress, and bills wi Ibe
| presented to this LegLlature, by the com
, in Bsjon.
The Governor urges the passage of a
! general railroad law, and says it seems im
i possible that any person can receive injury
from it*- adoption, whilst its hem fits may
Ibe felt by all classes of citizens. Kven the
j chartered companies have no reasonable
i gtounds for opposition. The intention o!
the proposed law is not to deprive them
tof any vested rights or franchisee, but to
j secure to others the sai.fc privileges and
oppoi tunities tor competition.
It will opm new avenues to distant
kets ; improve the value of property ; give
new impulse to immigration, ami add to
our general prosperity. Otln r States h.ive
tried the experiment vvitli satisfactory re
sults, and there is no reason why Pennsyl
vania should be a laggard in the grand
| match of progress and improvement.
He recomint'nds the-istabli-hoierit of an
insurance department, as in New ork,
that fhall control all companies within this
State. S ich enactment is required for se
curity of our Citizens. Millions of dollars
are paid out by them annually for insur
ance—much of it under such circumstances
as to rendir it impossible f>r a private in
| dividual to know win thcr the company to
which lie pays is or i- not reliable.
Consulting the in-tiranee journals, we
find that, as a general tiling, Pennsylvania
insurance companies are acquiring an un
enviable repti ation abroad, all' cting the
honor and good name of the State. Ihe
great purpose <>f the proposed depaitraeLt
should be pro ection.
He advises the creation of an office for
the inspection (if g>s and gas meters to en
-1 able the people to app a! fur re-Ires.- from
' alleged impositions of the gas companies
, i Of national aff irs. the Governor sp ak
' earnestly, in-i-ting that the Congress.onal
j plan of r constrn- tion shall rot ba snrreii—
j dered. He u- fines the President's plan as
| demanding that those who devised the
j most infamous measures of war—the very
' 1.-aders of the rebell on—should be ai
1 lowed to po-sess all the rights < f good cit
izens.
He thinks the general financial condi
tion would be greatly b- n fited by reduc
ir;g tlie number of articles taxed. A strong
I taiiff is necessary for tie pr--tecti>-n of
home labor and resources. 'I he m ssag--
coticiudes by invoking the blessing of God
, upon the Legislature—which there is rea
. son to fear will be greatly—needed.
A CONFESSION OF JCDGSIENT. — The
veerin; aroun lan 1 about of the Tunes is
one of the most curious features, just now,
of ''Republican" politics. The Times was
a supporter of the Military Reconstruction
Bit s, —the main object of which was to
bring the back man uppermost, —hut the
Times growing wiser with age, says now. —
♦ It is utterly impossible to vindicate upon
any sound anil accepted theory of republic
an Government, the policy of giving univer
sal suffiage to the four million blacks just
freed from slavery, while it is denied to the
whites who live among them : and to our
minds it is equally clear that such a policy
will not be supported by the popular vote
in the ©'tiling canvass "
Nothing could be trqer. The only wond
er is, our cotemporary has been so long in
reaching that conclusion.
Philadelphia Correspondence.
Philadelphia, Jan. 19, 'OB.
MK EDITOR :
We are on the eve of
great changes in our foira of Government.
The recent acts of Congress with those in
contemplation, afford a theme for sober
thought, bv every lover of freedom.
Our Constitution unrivalled in its jusl
distribution and restraint of power,and un
di-r which we have so justly prospered, is
cast a-idc as unequal to the wants of this
progressive age anil party ot great moral
ideas. In it there was wisely provided,
that the Government should be vested in
three departments ; the Legislative or
law-making, the Judicial or law construing
and the Executive or administering de
partment. Each of separate functions,ancl
and each acting as a check upon the other.
Congress does not deny, but glories in its
infringement of these laws, by muzzling
the Supreme Court and over-riding the
President. These transgressions then, arc
not the work of sound and reasoi able men,
zealous in their country welfare, but of
prejudiced angered aspirants for power,
who will leave nothing undone to promote
their ends. We see but one frsnlt. Abolish
the Constitution, abrogate the rigiits of
both States and citizens, and surly we are
no longer a government. We see, also a
remedy.
In our couutrv the ballance of power
re?ts with the Conservative classes, tho.-e
opposed to extremes in either party. Be
fore these our case must be fairly t>rought
To them auJ to all of different views, it is
the duty of every Democrat, to state the
undeniable facts of to-Jv, and appeal to
them for just impartial thought. Promise
to support those only who will Jo what is
right and honest. Do not parley upon is
sues dead arid buried, hut oiscuss the new
live issues of the present. The occasion
demands more than looking "profoundly
wise and saying nothing." Read, argue,
disseminate everywhere the true state of
affairs. It i? no longer a matter of heated
parlizan f.eli"g, but of principle, and duty
to w hat is still our country. If you are
a-ked what changes you wouM have, tell
them first you want to s e verified, —our
earliest and cardinal maxim,—''Just laws
are derived from the consent of the gov
erned." That you hope to see the Supreme
Court—whose purity is the piide of our
own and respc?tof other countries,above the
changable will of the fanatic or lobbyist.—
The President allowed the rights strictly
guaranteed him by the Constitution For
the Southern States, at least a more proper
form of Government, than military sa
traps —picsided over bv prejudiced mon
guls. And, appealing to "purse" after
principle, we want to see this gr at bur
| den of taxation, now depleting the country
; of its wealth, and goading our mannfactur
! ers to ruin, reduced ; then more equitably
1 distributed, and efficiently woiked.
Be earnest in belief and c<ol in argu
! merit. Your last triumph, should encour
1 age you to redoubled effort, ou this gieally
I more important occasion.
The Press are working faithfully thro'-
| out the country. We a>k our patrons to
co operate in re claiming out country from
anaichial ruin. We have set forth the
wav in which it is to be done. Let them
i persevere ; and b t ns hope that though
1 from fear of inconsistency our Republican
1 frit nd- .toy nothing, in the coming election
; they may art right" ' •
The Coming Revolution.
The New York Herald sa\s : "We pre
diet the culmination in November next of
tli- political revolution of which we haVe
ahead? felt the lir-t shock. From all the
symptoms that surround us it is easy to
foresee that the violence and follv of Coii
gre*s, in forcing upon the country a policy
entirely foreign to our institutions, and in
conflict with all our id. as of freedom, jus
lice and generosity, will unite the people
upon the Democratic and Conservative
nominee for the next Presidency, and that
he wII be elected by a large mtj uity
The radicals may hope to save themselves
by calling to their ai l the great name of
general Grant ; but if that distinguished
mi ii irv leader should accept a nomination
upon the African Supremacy platfoim of
the present < 'ongress lie will be defeated
at the polls as easily as Chase or any oth
er candidate would be. The principles
that agitate the country at the present time
are stronger than men, an 1 no personal
popularity can lor an instant blind the eyes
of the people to the importance of the is
sue. The H construction policy to which the
Radical party promises to afWre is an at
rocions outrage upon civilized society. It
degrade- the white race, and, b v giving po
litical power into tin- uncontrolled posses
si<m of hundreds of thousands of ignorant
and d- based n- groe*. breaks down all the
,-af guards of society, obliterates tbe pro
giess of half a century, reduces ten Slate*
of the Unio.i to a condition of African
barbari-m. and demoralizes the National
Government. It is i.gai:i*t their policy that
(he people will record their votes, and it i*
to save the country from those evils that
they will defe at the Radi. al Presidential
candidate next fall, whoever lie may be'
The Louisiana mongrels have passed an
or-lmanee making it a misdemeanor for
planters to discharge 11 gger employees
until after the ratification of the thing they
have concocted and call a constitution.—
Employers are, t'-etefor.-, to be burthened
with tlie suppott <>f a lot of lazy nigger
utitil the latter shall have cast their vots
against the planters. By this a'rangc
tnent every planter is to he forced, thro*
fear of punishment, to feed and nourish
perhaps a score of vipers within Ins house
hold to turn upon him and sting hiin and
all he holds dear to death whenever the
mongrels of the convention order it. By
such infernal measures are the carpet hag
radicals and the secret league nigers labor
ing to bring on a war of races. If such a
war could bo made to result in the exter
minatibu of them it would be a deserved
punishment and a blessing to the country.

Questions for the Northern Industrial
Classes.
Who is it at present keeping white
mechanics and laborers from seeking em
ployment in the South ?
Who is making a barren waste of the
most feit le and productive section of the
R> public ? •
Why is the burden of taxation so oppres
sive and employment so scirce ?
Why ire there to-day hundreds of thou
sands of white men and women in the
North living in dread of starvation within
the present \ ear ?
Why are the commerce of the North
and the ship-building interest almost totally
pat ab zed i
Why isilie Sonth threatened with a war
of races and civil law tramplced underfoot
in that section ?
Why are millions of white men not rep
resented in Congress ?
Why have all the guarantees of the
Constitution been broken down and the
rights of free-born Ameicaus subjected to
the arbitrary will ot irresponsible satrap* ?
Why are thirty' millions of white men
taxed for the sp- cirl benefit of a class who
oay no taxes ou tue great hoik of tbeir
pi operiy ?
Why should th.-re he over two thousand
millions of dollars exempted from taxation?
\\ hy should there be gold for the bond
ocracy awl greenbacks for the millions?
Why should there be special legislation
for one class of ihe population to the serious
injury of the interests of every other ?
Wby should the great agricultural popu
lation ot the West he made tributary to
the manufacturing lords of Yankceland ?
If the National Banks are enabled to
make twenty millions of dollars a tear out
of the industrial classes hy their speculates
in the nec ssaiies of life, why are they
tolerated ?
If negroes are fit for freedom, why has
a great poorhouse system for their support
to he kept up at the expense of Northern
industry ?
Win is it that the products of the South
have falh it off t so great an extent ?
Why are murders and outrages and rob
btries so fearfully frequent all over the
South ?
If the war wa prosecuted for the pres
tation of the Tuioii, why are ten States
kept out of it ?
If the South is permitted to fall under
negro domination, will it he fit for the hab
itation of white men ?
The industrial classes of the North will
find an answer to all these questions in the
policy of the Destructives. It is to them
we are indepted f>r the evils by which the
country is threatened. And the worst has
vet to come. The negroes refuse to work,
and the great productiveness of the South
is lost to the country. The white men of
the free States are oppressed with taxation
that they may be supported in idleness.—
Of the four or five hundred millions of dol
lars which are taised upon the industry of
tins section ev- ry year, a large proportion
is expended in the devilish work of revers
ing the natural order of the races.
IFurkingmen of the N-rih, will you, can
you endure this infamous this h- llisli work,
Do you not see that the perjured,plunder
ing. Constitution-breaking, law defying
gang called Congress is striking at your
rights, at \onr interests, through its pol.cy
of reconstruction ? There has not been?a
single aPt of legislation, a single measure
pass- d in Congress that has not been aimed
at yon.
It is vou that the Nat una! Ranks are
fleecing.
It i* your families who are made to suf
fer that the South may he Africanized and
i converted into a wilderness.
It i* out of your pockets that the tax to
pav the interest on untaxed bonds is paid
Nearly one-half ot your labor is mortga
ge"! for the support of a ptivih-god class.
Your loaf of bread is ten Cents, because
the South instead of contiibuung to the
resources of the country from its fertile soil,
is a drag and a 'ax upon your industry.
| Look into Jacobinism and you will find
in it the true cause of all the poveity, all
the misery all the wrongs fr'.m which the
whole country is now suffering.
The remedy is in your ha ><!*, and the
i time is hastening on when it can he applied
Org mizc and be prepared tor the day of
[action, the dav upon which you cart settle
i all scores with the Party of Anarchy and
Ruin, the party which seeks to ina ntaiu
its power through the sacrifice of every
right and p'inoiplc vin iicated in the great
| Revolution.
Orgmize for the salvation of the Repub
lic, and to rescue it from a beastly, degrad
ing mongrelism.
Organize to save this land for white
men, and to make it the White Man's
Inheritance.
Organize to protect yourselves and
families from the conspiracy of an uncon

Organize for the emancipation of eight

Tnink of what tliev are to day suffering.
Think ot their ruin" d homes, their wasted

Think of the fate with which they are

I vour hearts that tne accursed party which

IMPRESSION AT FIRST SIOHT.— The sub
ject of impression at first sight was being
alked over at the supper table, when thr
lady, whose duty it was to preside "ove
the, cups mi"i tea," said she always foim< d
an opinion of petsoi.s at first sight, ami
generally found it to be. correct.
"Mamma," said the youngest son, in a
sht ill voice, that attracted the attention of
all present.
"Well, my dear, what is it?" replied the
fond mother.
"I want to know your opinion of me when
you first saw me?"
The question gave a sudden turn to the
conversation.
THE EMPKESS JOSEPHINE BV LOUISA
MUHCBACH.— ''Another of Miss Muhlbacli's
novels? some reader may say. Yes another;
and, if we mistake not, it will meet with
public favor not less decided than has been
vouchsafed to its brilliant predecessors* —
The Muhlbach novels appear in t his rapid
sequence, because the public will have them
buying them in preference to the work of
any other romancer, Dickeus alone except
ed. If any one wi'hes to estimate the
popu'arity of the Muhlbach hooka, let him
ask at the nearest circulating library. The
insatiate demand for the well-thumbed vol
umes will tell the story. We have heard
some puzzling over the secret of this lady's
success. Even a cursory glance through
any one of her novels, this one about the
Empress Josephine for instance, solves it
to our satisfaction. She takes the salient
points of a wonderful life.and works tliein,
into the coherence of a drama. Josephine's
life, in Miss Muhlhach's hands, tails into
three parts, like the thn e acts of a well-pro
portioned play. First,she is the Viscountess
lieauharnais, and that part begins with her
birth among the tropical glories ot Mart
inique ; then, she is the happy wife of Gen
eral Bonaparte; then, she is the Empress
and the Divorced, and that part ends with
her death at Malmaison. It is asp endid
melodrama, in which senery, and music, and
perfume, leave none of the senses unad
rcssed. Josephine is the central figure, and
wins all the hearts in this book, as Napole
on said she did in her imperial reign. Next
to her and deriving lustre from her near
ness,comes of course the spoiled "Child of
I test nv," who is here shown in his only
amiable pait of lover, them are
grouped ijueen?, emperors, geuerals, and a
mob of other great men and women of the
Napoleonic days. The style is fascinating
Muhlbachiau we might say. A new artist
G ston Eav, makes his debut in this book
and seems to be the man we have been
looking for so long. 1 lis illustrations of
Josephine, lazilv swinging in In r West-Ind
ian hammock, and of h> r interview with the
King of Home, and the death-inTdc image
of bet.crushed und< r her uivorce are perfect
gems of art and given an added value to the
chaining story.
Tim APPROACHING CONTEST. —We I
clip the following from an exchange pa ,
per, and give it with our expression ofap- j
proval :
'•lt is understood that the unrepresented
States will send delegates to the Conserva
tive Presidential Convention. I also learn
that it is in contemplation by the whites of j
the South to hold separate elections for
evidential electors, and to disregard the
reconstruction acts in this respect. The !
President is understood to favor this move- ,
ment. In a certain contingency the moral
effect at lea*t would be potent indeed.— j
With an actual united South, and a major
ity of the Northern States, Congres would ,
not dare to inaugurate a President upon
the strength of the negro vote !"
The Springfield, Massachusetts, Republi
can sums up the whole story of itecon- ;
struction and public opinion thereon, wh' n j
it savs that "results are what the people!
1 ok at, and, as a matter of fact, the negro
is dominant in Southern politics." dliis j
••darkey" domination at the South means
n<-gro equality, if not superiority, at the |
North. Negro suffrage involves lite elec- i
lion of negro Congressmen. Then we have '
a new version of "The House that Jaclrj
built"—negro Congressmen will appoint j
negro cadets to West point ; negro cadets j
will bee m< negro lieutenants iu the regu- ;
lai army ; they will command,as superiors,!
white soldiers ; and we shall have negro
officers ranking white officers. This is on- |
Iv an entering wedje ; social equality j
conns next. The North generally, and j
ttie West particularly, are not quite pre- 1
pared for this liadical revolution which is
to destroy the present socal fabric.
