to resist any such wicked' Attempt. r it, was
boldly. asserted that the party 'hard solemnly
resolved in caucuseto prevent theinaUguration.
We can hardly believe this, but if thit be the
fact they _ _ certaintrooncluded• wisely to abide

The military display was certainly a cteslittc

the same deserve the , thanksof the loyal da

the -following
Fellaw-sitixtie of the-Senate and Mdse. of liepsuetda

Called by the partiality of my follow-citizens
to the office of Governor of Pennsylvania for

When' first summoned before .-you, thred

fiendish lust more and more bountifully of the
nation's honors—had gram' steadily bolder'ia

tolerance, if not -the reaction of a formidable"
element of,papular strength even In the con-,

with treason, would be but to give it renewed
existence, and enable it again to plunge us into
another causeless war.
In the deetruction of the militarypower 'of
the rebellion is stone the hope of peace; for
:while armed rebels march over the soil of any
State, no-real freedom can prevail, and no gov

*Nair free institutions, can properly operate.
"The geople of every State are entitled under
the Constitution •to the protection of the Gov

fairly, rebellion must be disarmed and trodden
in the dust. By these means, and these alone,
can we have enduring union, prosperity and
peace. As in the past, I will in the future, in
faithful obedience to the oath I have taken,
spare no moans, withhold no power which can
strengthen the Government in this conflict. To
