The town during the morning and. preceding ''

Houses, consisting of ftlessrs. Packer, Guern

Fritz, Motl, and Kelso,, of the . House; ar.d ac
companied by the military and a very respec

'" of IheJSetiale, he was declared invested With
the rifiicc of Goycrfior, and proceeded to de
liver Jiis ,inauguralvaddress, as follows : -
Fellovv Citizens The providence of God.
has prospered our great Commonwealth. The ,
will ol the people has called an humble citi
zen lot he performance of llic duties of her
chief executive office. In accordance with ,
the requisition thus made on me, and in obe
dience to the provisions of the constitution, I
appear before you lo day, for the purpose of
subscribing lo !he dath ot office and assuming
ilia duties. I embrace ihis opporlusi'y to ex
press ihe profound gratitude 1 feel towards ihe
people for this distinguished mark of their con
fidence. In contemplating the high and delicate' na
lure, of ? the duties appertaining to this station
their complex and difficult, character the,
-magnitude of the interests involved in. lhejgfc
faithful performance I 'am most solemnly
impressed with the responsibility thay neces.
saiily, impose. The junior of all my prede
cessors in this.high station, I enter upon llie
discharge of.ils duties with the utmost' dis
trust of my own qualifications for the task. I
have, however, resolved lo devote my best en
ergies, my hopes and prayers to a faithful dis
charge 6f the obligation I have just laken,and
Jook to the people for that generous indulgence
which has ever characterized their action to
wards public servants who have honestly en
deavored to.pcrferm their whole duty. The
efforts .of man at best aro but feeble. All the
aid that his wisdom can bring to. the accom
plishment of any great purpose rnust faif
unless accompanied and control fed by thei
guardian care of Him who gives direction to
till human affairs. On His power and good
i pleasure; all results must depend. On, Him...
we should rely in a spirit of humility and
Christian confidence.
Our republican institutions are based upon ,
the.axlomhal the people arelheonly rightful"
source of power. Under(tlthes2 institutions.
. thus founded, the will of the people, reflected
through the. ballot box, gives direction to pub
lie arfhirs. Through ibis medium the hum
blest, not less than the most dislinguished.can
stamp. the impress of, his will upon tho p.ublic .
policy of the country. This feature of our
.republican system Is its great distinguishing
characteristic, and guided by the general in
telligence smd patriotism of the people, the
cause of .our success as a nation the Right
of Suffrage sliould therefore be held invio
late and its independent exercise enjoyed by
jeyefy citizen. To prepare the .minds of the
people .by general education by the incuK
cation of moral precepts and religious truth,
should be accounted the noblest purpose of Ihc
government. A11 that we are and all that we
can hope to be, as a nation, is dependent on
llie source of power. The right of the citizen
over prpparly, his personal liberty and sec'uri
,ty, tho freedom of speech and Jijberty of. lbs
p-fiSSj thc free toleration of religioussen'.imcntf
are: n1ikc: subservient to this great source of
htfman'law.' Ifbw important, is it, thenj-that
lhT'"great.hcnd should remain' pure and,indel

Our vast debt should be reduced as-rupidly
in
' as practicable. Its injurious effects upon the
growth of our population and tho migration'
of capital lo the .State, is much more' potent ,
than the casual observer would suppose. I'liis .,
may not be most readily .accomplished by.. the..
too parsimonious use of the means already se ,
cured to the treasury, ft may be wise to ap
ply a portion of these to complete public im'-?'
provements now far advancedjm construction, r
but yet unproductive. The abandonment) of' !
such improvements would involve a , largo a ,
mount of capital already expended, and, sap-,,,
rifice entirely the chances of fnlure returns
to the treasury from these sources. Indeed
Ihc speedy completion of the North Branch
Canal, is, in my opinion, consistent wilh the",, .
truest principles of economy. . c

I am most happy, my fellow citizens, to
meet you in my present capacity, at a time
, when our common country is at peace with all
the world, and prosperous in an eminent
degree: The dangerous conflict touching the
subject of slavery, which for a time seemed to
menace the stability of t the national govern
ment, ins been most fortunately, and I trust
permaricntly, adjusted through the medium of
. whatarp geueruliy known as the ''Comprom-
:li jse.rAler.sure?.". The general acquiescence of
! .llio several Stales in this adjustment, gives
assurance of continued peace to the country,
"and permanence to the Union permanence
to that Union, Ihe'ibrmutlon of which gave
' our natidri early influence and'dignity of posi
tion with the other powers of the earth. Her
., rights have consequently been respected by
all, and her wishes- heard with profound re-"
gard.. In war she hiis gained a high char
acter for military prowess and in peace se
cured :he contidence ot "all mankind. The
, justice and liberality of her insiiiulions have
constrained the oppressed, of every land to seek
, an asylum within her limits, asd enjoy under
i the ample folds of her national flag, political
and religious freedom.
The continuance of those unequalled hies- '
; si.hgs is dependent enitrely updn the perpetuity
.pf this great national compact,and this can 011I3-
, . be secured by a faithful observance of the ."
terms of the Constitution under which, it was .
formed. The Union and the Constilutirin are
one and indivisible. The former cannot ex-; '
'" ist without the latter, and the latter had nP'
' " purpose but to perfect and sustain, the former.
-tie, therefore, who is npt for the 'Constitution
is, against the Union,; , and, he, who, .would. .
Strike at either, vould commit' political sacri-
?&& against the 'great fabric sanctioned by
' ,, Vashington and. Franklin. The Federal"
. ,ostitutiqn must be maihtairied and executed"
in all its parts. It is the paramount Jaw of
; each State, and it is llie inipeiative duty of
'their respective governments to assist in the .
'7jhst 'and fill! administration of all its provis-

There having been no precautionary
measures taken for the preservation of or
def, much confusion prevailed during the
' foiVner part of the ccremonie.a. When, how
ever, order was obtained, the address of Gov.
Bigler was listened to will) the utmost at

plauded by the auditory, fis delivery occupir .
ed about three quarters of an hour. . :
The crowd.in and about the Hall during
tlie ceremonies was most- dense and compact
and had railroad communication from the
east been open, it would have been vastly
greater. Khc military companies from the
interior made a very handsome appearance,
and were treated with much courtesy and
'attention by the Na'ional Guards, of Harris
.burg, Capt. John R. Gurland.
Upon the concjusipjL of the inaugural ad.-
dress, Governors Bigler aud Johnston shook
handsmost cordially in presence of the multi-
. tude,and the band of theNational Guards then
struck up Ihe national air, "Hail Columbia."
The military companies immadiately after
retired, and the Convention then adjourned.
