SYNOPSIS OF THE GOVERNOR'S „ - MESSAGE. Gov. CLTRTIN sent in his annual mess age on the 30th ultimo. It is an inter esting document, and we regret that i our space does not admit of its phbll - entire. We give herewith the pith of the message. Total in the Treasury fur the year ending Nov. 30, 1865, $8,162,193,30. Payments for the same period, $5,788,- 5,16. Balance in the Treasury Nov. 30,1855, $2,373,668,14. The public debt has been reduced $745,811.26, during the yearendingSept. 80, 1865. The public debt Dec. 1, 1865, was $37,- - 476,248,06. And the assets in the Treas ury at the time were $13,623 668,14, leav ing the debt over assets at V 4852,589,02. This shows a reduction of the liabilities of the the State, of $2,655,579,02, since Nov. 30, 1860. The war being ended, the Governor urges the relief of the people from the pressure of debt incurred in the prose cution of the war. He recommends that no appropriations be made for any but those public char ities known as Houses of Refuge, In, atitutions far the Deaf and Dumb and, for the Blind, Lunatic Asylums. He proposes the equalization of the taxes upon corporations throughout the State, and recommends that all appro propriations hereafter be named in the exact sum in the law authorizing them. Regarding the reduction of the State tax upon real estate he says : "Considering the improvement of the condition of the Treasury, it ma3' be possible, with entire safety to our finan ces, to reduce or even repeal the ordih: ary State tax of two and a half mills on real estate. The tax of one half mill laid by the act of May 16, 1861, was by that act expressly pledged for the re payment of the loan of $3,000,000, there by authorized, and of course cannot be repealed or reduced until that repay ment shall have been Cade. I recom mend this subject to the careful and deliberate consideration and judgment 'of the Legislature, and if it should be found that the tax can be repealed, 1 3 . recommendthat all laws authorizing the levying of local taxes on bonds, mort gages, loans and all property orthat kind be also repealed." - He then proceeds to review the 'ac tion of the people of the commonwealth during the war for the suppression of the rebellion. The number of troops furnished the service, from Pennsylvania:during the rebellion, may be stated as follows, viz: During the year 1861 . .130,634 Do do 1862 71,100 Do do 1863 - 43,046 Do do 1864 91,704 Do do 1865 25,840 • 362,2% This statement is exclusive of militia and enlistments for the United States navy. He further states: "An approximate judgment of the amount of labor performed by these departments, and in the office of the Secretary of •the Commonwealth; may be made, when it is stated that over for ty-three thousand (43,000)military com missions were issued during the war,. "The first requesl for troops from this State was dated at Washington, on the 16th April, 1861, and on the 16th the telegraph announced to the war Depart ment that over 4,000 men were" at Har th_kburg,.awaiting marching orders. "It is our proud privilege to have it to remember, that the first military aid from the loyal States, which reached Washington, was the force of 460 Penn sylvaniaus, who' arrived there on the 18th day of April, and that, when the Capital of the Nation was, the second time threatened, after the battle of Bull Run, the regiments of the Pennsylvania Reserve Corps, were the'first troops sent forward. "Frbm the beginning of the war to its elci6e, the State has never faltered in its support of the Government. "Proceeding in the strict line of duty, the resources of Pennsylvania, whether in men or money, have neither been withheld or squandered. The history of the conduct of our people in the field, is illuminated with incidents of hero ism worthy of conspicuous notice ; but it would be impossible to mention them in the proper limits of a message, with out doing injustice, or perhaps, making invidious distinctions. Arrangements are in progress to have a complete tory of our regiments, such as has been contemplated and is provided for in an act of Assembly already passed ; and on this subject I commend the report of the Executive Military Department toout favorable 'consideration. It would be alike impossible to furnish a history of the associated benevolence and of the large individual contributions to the comfort of our people in the field and hospital,' or of the names and services, at all times, of our volunteer surgeons, when called to assist in the hospital or on the battle-field; nor it is possible to do justice to the many patriotic Chris tian men who were always xeady to respond when summoned to 'the exer cise of acts of humanity and b,enevolence. "Our armies were sustained and: strengthened in the field, by the patri otic devotion of their friends at home ; and we can never render full justice to the heaven-directed, patriotic—christhm benevolence of the women of the state." Of the education of soldiers orphans,- he says': "The report of the Hon. Thomas H. Burrowes, shows the gratifying result, under his active management, of , the system adopted by the State, for the maintenance and education of the or phants of our soldiers. Hie report exhib its the fact, that 1,242 orphans are now actually admitted to the schools, and that 1,846 applications in all have been allowed and orders issued for their _ad mission, many of whom had been -ad— mitted since his report. It will also be seen, that the largest appropriation s that ever will be required, will be for this and the two ensuing years, 'Mid that then the amount will be gradually re diked. I have therefore commended this charity to you, and I deem it un cecessary to ad& another word, in ask ing a continuation of an appropriation, which is to provide for and educate the best blood of the State. and support the living legacies which have been be queathed us by the men who laid down their lives for the country. When we remember that every sort of public and' private pledge that the eloquence of man could device or utter, was given to our soldiers as they went fotard, that-if they fell, their orphans sh uld become the children of the State, I cannot for an instant suppose, that you will hest tate to continue an appropriation, which is to bless the little ones providing com fortable homes, instead of leaving them in want and destitution, many of them to fall victims to vice and crime." r Of the militia called out to repel inva sion he says:' "At the time of invasion of the North; in 1863, by the rebel army, the President made a requisition on me for militia to serve during the emergency. The men• came forward promptly, to the number of 36,588, of whom upwards of 25,000 re- II fused to be mustered into the service of the United States, in consequence of circumstances of prior occurrence not necessary to be here stated." The 'Governor commends the relief of the Chambersburg sufferers - to the con- sideration of the legislature. He further - says : "I - commend to the wisdom of the Legislature the subject of providing for the relief of sk _kur many mainked and wounded soldiers. Possibly this might be done lky continuing and enlarging the actts providing for boards of relief in the several counties. I recommend the adoption by the Legislature of this or some other plan for doing justice to the class of men in question." "The arsenal lit Harrisburg is decay ing and unsafe. The anus and amuni tions of the State there deposited are of the value probably of half a million of dollars. I recommend that provision be made for repairing it, or-that a new arsenal be constructed in this for the purpose of securing their preaer vation." "Since my last annual message, the late President of the United States has fallen a victim to the .most foul and base assassination recorded in' history. It will afford me pleasure and .I will heartily unite with you in any express ion of indignation at the 'crime, and of appreciation of the public. virtue and services of its victim, Abraham Lin cOln. - " My uniform course during the late war, was to, avoid the discussion of the policy_ of 'the General Goverunlent, while giving a hearty support to the National authorities in all their meas ures to suppress the rebellion. I shall continue to pursue the same course dur ing the embarrassments necessarily con nected - with the entire restoration of the country. The principles, expressed in the message of the President, at the commencement of the session of Con gress, will receive my cordial support." " During the last five years the peo ple, of thil State .have suffered deeply from, the calamities of war. Thousands of her men have been slain, and others, are maimed and broken. Almost every family has been stricken, and every yv-hererthere are widows and orphans, many df them helpless and In poverty. It is a subject of sincere congratula tion, that peace has at last returned." The Message is brief and clearly written. flue agitator. WE - 1A.8130R0, PENN'A.. WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY, 7, 1866 With MALICE toward none, With CUARITI for ALL, With firmness in the EltiaT. let us strive to finish the work we are in. to bind up. the nation's wonnd, to care for him who shall have borne the battle, and for his widow and orphans", and to do all which may achieve and cherish a Just and lasting peace among ourselves and withal' nations.-:-A. LINCOLN—Roca 4, 1865. CIRCL7LATION 1,8 20. GREAT, FIRE !--A fire, originating in a brothel, broke out in the village of Franklin, Venaugo Co., Feb. 1., destroy ed $500,000 worth of property. It now seems probable that Gen. Geary will receive the unanimous nomi nation of the State Republican COnven ton to assemble at Harrisburg on the 7th of Alaroh. Since our last issue went out; very many of the most influential papers in the State have declared for him. The minority are in had humor over it, we perceive, and show their teeth. But the men who counsel the passing over of a true and tried soldier to take up any man: in civil life not his intellectual equal, are either paid for their-puff's, or lack judgment. We stand where we have all along stood—giving preference to the man of scars above all others. And if we un derstand the voters of Tioga county they are with us, heart and soul. We ;risk little in saying that Tioga County is for Gen. John W. Geary, the heroic soldier and the upright man. He is no martinet. His war record, as well as his heart, is right. Of the several gen tlemen who- are nameci`•in connection with the place we haVe not a dispara ging word to say. But they are not his superiors in ability, as they are not his equals in desert. FOtt SALE :-GOING, GOING We have a number of Copperheac exchaiiges; through them we get a full knowledge of the contents of the lead ing Copperhead Journals. And in each and all of these Journals we find a singular and uniform adver tisement. It is common enough for people to give notice of the sale of Chattels, of dry goods, groceries, provisions, and real esr tate.. One need not look beyond the columns of the AGITATOR to learn that fact. But the Journals in question have in troduced a new form of advertisement. They sold out theirprinciples year ago; that vas bad enough. They now hawk the President of the United States as men hawk farm pro duce on the street. In other worth—they affirm Wat they havespurchased ANDREW JouNsox, and that henceforth he is . surely theirs. The consideration stated is the head ship of a resurrected and rejuvenated Democratic party. For this they claim to have secured the•favor of the Presi dentr 'Tioley announce that he no longer dis penses patronage - to Abolitionists. This is put forward in evidence of the com pact. Very well. Let us look at it. 'But just let us say, for one we don't think that Andrew Johnson is a purchasable man e We regard their advertisement Its a libel on a true man" and an insult to tlip American people. But let us meet them on their own ground—taking them at their word. The President of the United States is but a man—but one man. The day in which living, successful parties can i be founded upon the prestige of any irrian is past—we hope forever—with the American people. Parties, to endure, must be founded on high. and ruling principles. IThe strength of Samson dwelt in his‘locks ; but the strength of the Republican party dwells in its ad herence to principles, and in that only. It took root in the consciences of men. If it ever pluck itself up by the roots, and rally around , the empty shadow of a name ; or if it depart from the solid ground of enduring principles, it will die; as the Democratic party died, sud denly, unlamented; and without hope. And it will deserve to die In case of such departure from the direct purpose for which it was raised up. So with individuals. Position is the appliance of power. ' But there lives no man in America who can abandon the , principles for *hieh this nation has, through blood and fire, for four years contended, and draw a respectable mi nority of the virtuous after him. - The President of the United States sits where he does by virtue of the en lightened. suffrages of a mighty party. They placed him there because they be lieved him to be tried, true and faithful ; and for no reason so powerful and con trolling as that •the,y regarded him as the uncompromising enemy of the re bellion, alders and abettork So, then, if he prove faithless, and strike hands with the sympathizers with treason, that day the American people will fall away from him as from treason itself, and he will have for his supporters only the men who heaped abuse upon him while they believed him true to the Government, together with the wicked men so lately in arms against the GOvernment, and their base sympathizers the deserters and draft skulkers, whose countenance will damn him to everlasting infamy. . There lives no man on the face of the broad earth who has enough of prestige and popular confidence to sustain him self under such a burden of infamy. For, look you: Even ABRAHAM LIN COLN, the most beloved of all Chief Magistrates since Washington, was una ble to hold the loyal masses up to his standard of mercy and favor towards the chiefs of rebellion.. Could he have carried a majority of the people away from their sense of justice? Never.— When men's co`nsciences are once thor oughly awakened they value men only as men represent, and work for the tri umph of, principles. Presidents, Gov ernors,'Legfslators—all these are but the instruments of popular will. Of and • in themSehres they are•nothing. There was a time when MEN wielded great power. That time, as we said be fore, is gone by. So long as the Presi dent stands by the people the people will stand by the President. And not a day longer. Who are these, fellows who claim to have the ownership of Andrew John son? Here is the paper of one of them before us. He is a small dog, but he tones his yelp by that of the mastiffs of Journalism. In this paper we find him lauding Jeff Davis as a public benefac tor! while Abraham Lincoln lived he reviled him in indecent terms. Now that he is detd he speaks of him with scorn is Satan might speak of Gabriel. And the alleged ownership of Andrew Johnson rests in such fellows dyes it? Credulous we may be,but not enough credulous to believe that. Better- have sold out to the very devil himself than to such feeble imitations of his devil- It is a 'slander ; but mark the effect: The setting up of the claim even, is un dermining, not the Republican party but confidence in the President. We ex hort the people to remain hopeful and patient. AndreW Johnson may not come up to the popular sentiment in all respects. Neither did Abraham Lin coln. But if he acts with wisdom and according to his best light, as we think he has acted, and will continue to 'act, it is all any of us ought to ask. If he abandons principle, and becomes the I dupe of traitors, he invites, and will 11- ceive, the severest condemnation of all I rightminded men. Till then,.trust HiS views on Reconstruction are npt ours; nor are they the views of the peo ple.—.l34 let us reflect that he, from his high position, may see more of the fu ture than we do, who reside so far,from the center of power. Let us be patient and vigilant, proving all things and rejecting only the bad. I 1 TXXIXth Congress---Ist Session. Our synopsis commences on the 26th January.
