The Econom y of the State
Adminis
Tax-Payers: Atten4on t
When Andraw G Curtin assumed the
powers and duties of the Executive office
of Pennsylvania ; we *ill nut say that the
condition of the State, in the various de
partments_ of her government, in the
industrial pursuits And corporate enter
,
prises of the people!. was. not_prosperous•
It. was at a period of prOfiitind peace", nor
withstanding it As a time—when the
Democratic slave drivers of the -south;
with-thew -dough face-spot:at/mere of
the north, were couipleting their plans to
overthrow the Natiottal GrOverorneut.
In the year .18132 the receipts frrM tor
viinary sources of revenue were in excess
ley receipts from the same sources in
1861,_ one million thirty thousand ono
hundred' and seventy e six dollars and
eighty-two cents. [the ;excess of interest
paid in 1862 over . tliht of 1861 'been ! ?
15144,095 ST.] and that the ordtnnry
genies for 1862 were ninety five thousand
three hundred and seventeen dollar's and
sixteen cents less than the year previ
ousl ► !
This healthy condition of the revenues
and the excess of the receipts over the
expenditures, secured by the rigid and
general economy Which viral , insisted upon
by Governor Curtin in every department
of the State Government, induced him to
recommend to the Legislature a revision
of the revenue laws, with a view to the
legalising of the burdens of taxation At
the same time; Gov: Curtin also reeom-
mended to the Legislature the. justice
and expediency of restricting the rate of
local taxation, which has been and still
is, in some parts of the Commonwealth,
oppressive.
Cionsidenng the increase of taxation
by the Natianal Government, and con .
sidering, too, the enormous enlargement
of the war expenses, those figures at once
redound to the credit of Gov. Curtin. and
the people of Pennsylvania We want
the tax payers carefully to ponder the!.,
facts. We want the tax payms to re
cuiepiber, in the first year of AnJrew G.
Cnrtin s adMinistratioo
That . he increased the re: venues if
State. one million, thirty thousand. one
hundred and - sixty-six dollars and eighty
'
two cents; and,
That the ordidary expenses of the
State for the year-186 - 2, were•ninety-fice
thousand three hundred and seventeen
dollars less ehan the year precious, and,
That Andrew G. Curtin, by the rigid
' economy which he enforced
. during his
entire administration, even while he was
eqyzipping and sending out-thousands of
soldiers,' while he was relieving the wants
of the wflier's family, while he was sue•
coring the sick and wounded. and brin g
icy the dead from
. the battle
_fields home
to be buried among their kiNdred, he t,
enabled to recYnnmend, 'in the face of
these extraordinary expenses, a revisi,77l
of the; revenue laws with a view to the
reduction of the rateof local and &ate
tt xatiotil
. •,
The administration of no other State-
Government in the Union, nag
! point it,
such a record -.for the past three year-
The higory of no government in the
World exhibits such results: These facts
prove a rigid economy and a wise state
nianship entirely due to Andrew G. Cur
They, pot - to rest :all dobbts as to
his claims to a re-election. They prove
that in his hands; the interests of the
State and the welfare of the people are
safe. Will the tax payet's of Pennsylva
nia accept thel - Proilfr Will the people
continue to repose in Andrew G. Curtin,
the confidence and approval with which
they attended_his steps during the past,
for the cotoing 't hied- years? If they do
not, - they must expect -increased taxation
and enlarged indebtedneSS.: If 'they do
thepeople.of Pennsylvania decide,
(us we believe they will,) to re-elect An
drew G- Curtin,.:Covernor of the State,
just in proportion al the revenues have
been increased and:the State- taxes were
reduced for the past, so will those reve
-ftues- be increased - an et- thait - taxation .x
-duced in the coming years of another
administration. This is an Important
fact. It can _bit :.viewed only in one
light. It cannot be distorted or misrep
resented. .The result in figures, of the
increase_of,our revenues, and the redne:

overcome by the - numerous snake species
of disloyalists opposed to him.. Party I
prejudices may be aroused against him, I
and 'political - malice'may and doubtless
will do its Worst to encompass his deteat,
but we shall not believe that: the hearts
of the people of Pennsylvania can be
alienated franc so '-noble and- - faithful'a
public servant until the 'ballot boxes
speak the damnable act' of ingaatitude in
language which cannot be intsundirstood:
The 'adder stung the breast which warmed
it info life; but blacker would be the in
gratitude of, the sons of the Keystone if
they should: strike down or turn their
backs upon Governor . Cartio, who has
undoubtedly rendered thein'inesttmable
services in these - perilous times.
When. the rebels inaugurated this ter
rible civil war ; they fixed their eyes and
hearts upon the invasion and deqoilaitnn
of Pennsylvania. This was, - their settled
purpose early io the war, and if Penn
sylvania had been cursed 'with a weak or
~ewi-loyal Executive, they would ',bays•
rushed their desolating hordes acro-zs
Maryland and into the' Cumberland Val
ley long before they did, and would have
remained until they lad reduced it to a
blank waste: But Governor Curtin
watched : them closely, sent troops by
thousands and tens of thiitis . ands to the
seat of war to keep the rebels eniployed
at home, and thus for two years - , except

And when at last they did come, but
,through uo derilection'of duty on has part,
he promptly and fearlessly, flung the bat,

The opposition* joaroals are elated about

the belief that the draft will, oti this ac

Two or two things in this connection,
however, are worthy.,Of . consideration
Tile, surgical examination is, rery close ;
that is tosay. it is Very inerciful to the
conscript 'and Very just 'to' the Govern
ment. No man is taken whose , physical
organization is defective in any way• that
would perilitis life or healtkiere he ex
posed to the' fatipue'ef a soldier's _life, or
that would disable him from_effittiently

be borne in mind, that an immense army
has .already been raised by volunteering,
and such. has been . the ardent patriotiste
of the people that a very' large' per cent .

the wen who, having ao physical ailment,
