all public works, a liberal and properly
restricted general rilroad sysMm, and
internal improvements of every kind,
receive the fostering care and most lib
eral aid of the government. We are
rich in every thing necessary to Meet
our wants, and render us independent
of every other country, and we have
only to avail ourselves of our own re
sources_ and capabilities, to progress
continnually j onward to a degree of
,greatness never yet attained by any na
tion. Our agricultural, mineral and
manufacturing resources are unequalled,
and it should be our constant study to
devise and proseute means tending, to
their highest develope.ment.
In the principal of protection 'moved
to be such a talisman in the time of
war, shall we reject it in time of peace ?
If an answer were needed to this ques
tion, reference could be had to the re
peated concessions to this principle by
the recent free-traders of the South.
Scarcely one of the ambitious men who
led their unfortunate people into rebel
lion,'but now freely admits that if he

fabrics, on their own plantations, and
cultivated skilled labor 111 their great
cities, they would have been able to
prolong their,contliet with the govern-
Malt ; -and _-how to enjoy substantial,
• instead of artificial prosperity, they
Must invoke the very agencies they
had so Jong and so fatally disregarded.
Words need not be multiplied upon this
important theme; either to -make my
Own position stronger, or to impress
upon the people the value of adhering
to a system which has proved itself
Worthy of our continued support,and of
the imitation of its former opponents.
EXECUTION OF TUE LAWS
The general and essential principles
of law and liberty, declared in the Con
stitution of Pennsylvania, shall be
watchfully guarded.' It will be my high
est ambition to administer the govern
ment in the true spirit of that instru
ment.- Care shall be taken " that the
laws be faithfully executed," and the
decisions of the courts respected and en
forced, if within their authorized juris
diction. Influenced only by considera
tions for the public welfare, it is my im
perative duty to see that justice be im
partially .administered. That mere iiul
provision, the pardoning power, con
ferred upon the Executive doubtlessly
for correcting only the errors of criminal
jurisprudence, hnd securing justice,
shall not be perver'
nate protection of
justly sentenced
infractions of the
curity and protect

or erroneously col

THE NATIONAL,
• We are confessedly in a transition
state.- It is marvelous how prejudice
has perished in the furnace of war, and
how, from the very ashes of old hatreds
and old parties, the truth rises purified
and triumphant. The contest beeween
the Executive and a Congress itwiee
elected by substantially the saint suf
frages, a contest so anomalous iu our
experience as not to have been antici
pated by the frames of the National
Constitution, has only served to de
velop the remarkable energies of our
people, and to strengthen them for fu
ture conflicts. That contest is virtually
decided.
The victorious forces, physicial and
moral, of the patriotic millions, arc
simply pausing before they -perfect the
- work of reconstruction. Tv. enty-six
States have not only been saved from
'conflagration of -.war - , .but have been
eriatalized in the •saYing. The unre
stored ten, still disaffected and still de
fiant, seem to he Providentially delay
ing their return to-the Union, so that
when they re-enter upon its obligations
and its blessings they will be the better
able to fulfil the one and enjoy the oth
er. Their condition is a fearful warn
ing to men and nations, and especially
to ourselves.
If we nre now astonished and shock
ed at the exhibition of cruelty and in
gratitude among those who, having
inaugurated and prosecuted a causeless
war against a generous government,
and having been permitted to escape
the punishment they deserve, are once
more arrogantly clamoring to assume
control of the destinies of this great na
tion, how much greater cause would we
have had for surprise had slavery been
permitted to increase and multiply?
Boast as we may of our material and
our moral victories, yet it is not true
that there is no such thing as a Repub
lican government in the ten States that
began and carried on the war? There
is not, to-day, a despotic State in Eu
, rope where the rights of the individual
man are so defiantly trampled under
foot, as in the sections which were sup
posed to have been brought into full
submission to the government of the
United States. But the disease has
suggested its Providential cure.
The abhorrent doctrine, that defeated
treason shall not only be magnanimosly
pardoned, but introduced to yet stron
ger privileges, because of its guilty fail
ure, seems to have been insisted upon,
as if to strengthen the better and the
contrasting doctrine, that a nation,
having conquered its freedom, is its own
best guardian. and that those who were
defeated in honorable battle should be
constrained to supmit to all the term of
the conqueror.
The violators 9f the most solemn obli
gations, the perpetrators of the most
atrocious crimes in the annals of time
the murderers of our heroic soldiers on
fields of battle, and in loathsome dun
geons and barbarous prisons, they must
not, shall not re-appear in the council
chambers of the nation, to aid in its leg
islation, or control its destinies, unless
it shall be on conditions which will pre
serve our institutions from their baleful
purposes and influence, and secure re
publican forms of government, in their
purity and vigor, in every section of the
country. . .
. That they are indisposed to accept"
such conditions, is manifest from their
recent and even arrogant rejection of
the proposed amendments of the na
tional Constitution—amendments which
are believed, by many true and patriot
ic citizens and statesmen, to be too mild
and generous.
They have, however, been fully eon
sidered by the people during the late
elections, and approved by majorities so
large as to give them a sanction which
it would be improper to either overlook
disregard. And certainly in view of
thisfact, none of the late rebel Stateg
should fie admitted to their form "prac
tical relations" to the General Govern
ment, while they continue to oppose
these amendments.
To the Congress of the United States
the heartfelt sympathies and over
whelming suffrages of the people have
been generously given. They have
fearlesslyiroelaimP,..d their unequivocal
yerdict-:" WELL DONE GOOD AND N AlTrr-
Fun
nEnvezips." Upon the delibera
tions and actions of Congrc-,s our pres
ent interests and future welfare all de
pend. In its firmness and courage the
whole experiment of genuine republi
canism is indissolubly involved. That
this firmness and courage will be fully
exhibited by its controlling majorities,
in the origination and adoption of mes_s
ures of wisdom and discretion, even
more radical and decisive, if necessary,
than those of the past, I entertain no
doubt. Such measures will meet with
my cordial approval. And I may well
add, that while Pennsylvania will
confide in a loyal Congress, she will
mot hesitate to sustain it with her entire
influence and power.
That in the administration of thegov
eminent I may'err, is only what should
be expected from the infirmities of the
humtm mind; but as I entered upon
'the discharge of my responsible duties
with a firm resole ion to act' with hon
esty and impartiality, I trust my errors
will be regarded w charity and treat
ed with the gentleness of magnanimous
forgiveness.
And I earnestly hope that my inter
coarse with my fellow-citizens of the
Senate and House of Representatives
will be so frank WI cordial, that our du-
ties to a common constituency will be
pleasantly and faithfully discharged.
Difierent branches of the government
as we am, with distinctive duties, we
are nevertheless parts of one organized
and well regulated system, andas tvi.-t ()-
operate or disa g ree, the interests of the.
State will probably be prompted or re
tarded. Elected by the people, desirous
to promote - the welfare 01 every citizen,
I mere party differences should not 3,s al
-1 lowed to interfere with the Mill teOlance
of a genet ous, a t rue and comprehen-ive
public policy.
It was the illustrious- Washington,
equally distinguished as a warrior and
a statesman, who gave utterance to the
declaration, "that the propitiours
of Heaven cannot be expected on a na
tion that disregards the eternal rules of
order and right;" and Jefferson, who
asserted that "whatever is Morally
, wrong cannot be politic-ally
These utterances express my deepeQt
convictions of the rules and principles ,
which should permeate and control all
governments. Let us, fellow-citizens,
adhere to than, be governed by them,
and our efforts will be happily united
in surrounding the itiqtitutions of our
State, as well as those of our nation,
with a rampart of truth that will repel
the madness of ambition, the reticules
of usurpation, and succesflay resist the
changes and agitations of albs coining
time.

Gov. GEAR Y was. duly inaugurated

his inaugural address elsewhere, re
gretting that our limits do not' permit
us to give it entire. It is a finely writ
ten paper, and its sentimente show
that the gallant General's heart and

—When he stops breathing—you say.
That is the popular,notion, but is it eor
rect?l
Not, in our opinion. On the contra
ry, it appears' likely enough to warrant
belief, that mill'en the breath goes out of
of , a man, lice comes in, and the „real
man enters upon life with :-harpened
senses, unimpeded liy earthy :surround=
111122
But we did not purpose to nwite about
physical dissolution. There are forms
of death more to be dreaded and feared,
the effect of which is more damaging to
the individual_ and to
Upon
than the
death of the body. Upon reflection We
conclude that a man dies in the follow
ing cases: .
1. When he parts with his self-respect.
This is death by suicide.
- 2. When he ceast.s to respect well
regulated public opinion. This is death
from an overdose of conceit.
a When he gets above earning a
living by honest labor. This is a justi
fiable homicide ; the working bees kill
him.
4. When he sits down and waits for
some estray and unemployed good an
gel to do his part of the world's work.
This is the delirium which always pre
cedes death; the - car of Progress runs
over and crushes him.
ii. When his ambitions tempt him to
climb so high that he loses his balance.
This is accidental death.
0. When he ceases to be a useful mem
ber of society. This is a case of death
from rnatitsmus.
This enumeration will suffice. It will
be seen that the spectacle of dead men
walking about at'all hours of the day
and night may be enjoyed by every one,
who uses his eyes. The world is full of
troubling ghosts of this sort. So, when,
men ask us if we ever saw a ghost, we
reply unhesitatingly—yes; and not one
,but many. They jostle one on the side
walk, they tread on one's corns in ev
ery crowd, they haunt bar-rooms, gro
ceries, and churches.
In short, ghosts are as com Mon as
fleas hi a pig-sty. Nobody fears such
ghosts. Those seen only against the
background of solemn, moonless mid
night, are feared and shunned.
The priests of medieval times used to
make great things of ". laying" ghosts.
It was a remarkably unreasonable spir
it that refused to depart under the op
eration of the prescribed formula, or
solemn anathema. Not ro with the
dead who " live, and move, and have a
being" in this later tine. These "lay"
themselves, and the trouble is in indu
cing them to arise and shine. •
A great hubbub is made over the de
luded man who makes a slip-noose, ad
justs it about the neck, and deliberately
steps off' the great beam of his barn.
However, when a man commits moral
suicide, there is no especial excitement,
-no gathering of .sympathizing friends
and relatives, no wifeand children with
sable bonnets, crape bands, and black
stuff gowns, to follow him tp his un
timely grave. The man who violently
wrenches his body out of life, creates'
an unpleasant sensation : hut he -who
stabs his soul mortally with vice, at
tracts
less notice then a dog-fight.
Here is a mart who drowns his days
and nights in drink. Heliterally soaks
the hue of virtue out of his character.
He awakes each morning with a great
disgust for himself; take's a drink, and
begins to, respect himself—continues to
treat himself, with inereasingself-valn
stint', and retains hidself-respect until
he gets sober. With sobriety comes an
indescribable disgust for himself.
Now this man is dead. He may be
raised from the dead if the effort be put'
forth in time. If suffered to pass on,
and enter the lachrymose state, the case
is beyond human aid. When a drunk
ard seeks the confessional and pours
out his self-erimination with tears and
sighings, as a rule, he is in the last sta.
ges of decay. Ills sorrow is quenched
by his tears, and he flies to whiskey to
carry him through the weakmai of re
adion.
Such men are dead:
Here is a man enslaved I.y his lusts.
He awakes from the lurid dream of pas
sion to hate his devilish master and to
despise his own brutishness. He seeks
to bribe memory to oblivious silence by
inventing new pleasures. This stiffices
for a brief time; meantime each - recur
' ring season of reaction fearfully swells
the ever-increasing total of hi:- disgust.
At last the sight of virtue provokes an
ger, venting itself , in-sneers and railing,
, and this is- the coma - which 'heralds
1 moral 6ath.
Such a man is dead. Nothing less
than a miracle can kindle the vital
spark of his moral nature.
Here is a man m ho is the slave of av
arice. He bends his energies to the ac
cumulation of property. He heaps the
hoard higher and higher every year.
At first he was appeased with small
gains in the legitimate channels of bu
siness. At last he cannot be satisfied.
He declares nos against- mankind and
studies plans to render human misfor
tune tributary to his fortune. This man
is dead. There is just as much life in a
gold mine as there is in him.
These men are dead, because they
have dropped out of the social economy.
They no longer work to carry on the
joint business of the world. They have
put on the yoke of Selfishness, and it
has grown into the muscle of their
necks. They cannot cast that yoke.
And every man is dead when he cea
ses to labor mainly for the betterßent
and moral elevation of the race. Ev
ery man and woman who works to in
crease the barriers which separate men
into classes, is dead, as for the good he
or she can do.
The long agony of the Senatorial
contest is over, and its hitternesses are,
or should be, forgotten. Meeh that was
indiscreet and harsh has psaleatid
written. 'Men :• ' Arnett for
effect, and yet reached.
We have seen ti criti ; pon the
characters of the opponents which was
not justified by the public record; but
much was said and written -of Gen.
Cameron which was in the nature of
vague inuendo, not justified by any
thing which has ever transpired.
One thingis certain. Themost bitter
opponents of Gen. Cameron can afford
as little stone-throwing as any men we
know of. Some of them are notorious
for their inclinations, to profit by posi
tion. Some of them grew suddenly
rich without any apparent investment
of capital. These men were first to fall
upon Gen. Cameron and bring charges
of corruption. So far as we know,
neither the General nor his friends re
turned the complaint during the, con
test. This forbearance may be placed to
the credit of the superior discretion of
the General and his friends. Stones
might have been thrown which would
have broken a great deal of glass on the
premises occupied by Gov. Curtin's ad
herents. A sense of the properand de
cent restrained the throwing.
No 'r •at the..affair festrer—Welluve a
word to say. - We-favored Cameron for
the reason that be better represents
Pennsylvania interests than any man
named against him. We were not in
favor of Thaddeus Stevens, because it is
never reasonable to destroy the useful
ness of any man. To take Mr. Stevens
from the House, and place him in the
Senate, would be to convert a leader
into a follower. Mr. Stevensis the first
leader the House has had sincetbe clays
of Jelin Quincy Adams: In the Senate
his peculiar abilities would have had no
field for action. One Sumner is suffi
cient for so select a body as the Senate
of the United States. Mr. Sumner has
little influence in the Senate, because
of his impracticability. Mr. Stevens
would have failed in the Senate because
of hismnbending will. The two bodies
are as different as co-ordinatelegislative
branches can well be. Audacity will
do little to advance matters in the Sen
ate;- ads all potent in the Holise.
No Mau can impeach the record of
Simon Cameron as a Senator, or as
Secretary of War, or as a foreign Minis
ter. Abraham 'Lincoln was a good
hidge of men. We lave positive knowl
edge that Mr. Lincoln valued Simon
Cameron's. judgement and fidelity - as
highly as he did thatof any other officer
of his Cabinet. We also know that
nearly everything - alleged against Gen.
Cameron as Secretary of War, to his dis
credit, that is, was wholly without
foundation. That he is perfect we do
not suppose. That be is as near to that
mark as other publicists we certainly
believe. We heartily . rejoice at his pre
ferment, because he deserves well of the
citizens of the Commonwealth.
We publish elsewhere 'the-report of
the county Commissioners respecting
the proposed. County House. Of the
Poor Houses visited by the Commys
loners, that in Geneseo seems to he best ,
managed. The cost per week for each
person at this place is stated at $1,32.
The average cost per week at Rochester
was $1,25, at .Rath, $1,65.
It is probable that the average cost of
maintaining the poor in this county, at
present, is not less than $2 each, per
week., Even this expenditure does not
rendef the poor as comfortable as they
should be. The universal testimony of
Philanthropic Societies indicates the
plan of Association as the most humane
and economical. This fact is so gener
ally acknowledged that it need not be
argued.
'ln regard to the buildings, those on
the farm, with some alterations and ad
ditions, will do Very well for the pres
ent. Well ordered - wood buildings, if
detached, are about as secure against
flie as brick. The expense for a year or
two might equal that-under the present
system ; but after that time, with good
management," we opine that the cost
will be reduced one-third, and the com
fort of the poor increased one-half.
These columns are open to the friends
and enemies of the enterprise, with the
stipulation that all communications be
restricted to half a column.

EDITOR. A CUT A.TOR —The "Poor
House" having been a subject of dis
etissiOn Tersesile time, we deem it expe
dient to lay befere the publicastatem,nt
of progress made since the passage of
the law, as well as some statistics Nve,
have gathered for the purpose of aiddng ,
us in its management when completed._
These statistics will exhibit the cost of
the *maintenance of those who have
been so unfortunate as to need assist
ance at institutions of this kind else-
I -where.
- In pursuance of the act authorizing
the erection or a Poor-House in this
county, approved March 12, 1866, the
Commissioners-named in saki act seleq
ted the farm of Benjamin Austin - , situ
ated two miles east of the. eotuaty f seat t
as a proper location. This, farm con
tains about . 180 acres, about 150 acres
improved, upon which there is a largo
dwelling in good repair, two frame
barns, and a good apple orchard. This
farm was offered at $7,400. The Com
missioners made a report and submitted
the same to the Court of Quarter Sess
ions for its consideration. The report
was accepted and the purchase at the
price stated confirmed, at the Novem
ber Term.
Boon' after the confirmlition, we, as
Commissioners of the county, comple
ted the transfer of the property from
Mr. Ahstin to the county, for which we
paid to him $4OO, and gave him a mort
gage on the premises for the balance of
$7OOO remaining unpaid, to be satisfied
in annual payments in three years from
the date of purchase. Before proceed
ing hirther in the matter, we deemed it
our duty to visit institut/oxis of this na
ture 1n other places, to see how they
were managed, what kind of accommo
dations were required—so that we could
decide upon the alterations and addi
tions necessary to be made to render the
buildings now on the premises suitable
for the purposes for which they are re
quired. We accordingly visited the
Poor-Rouses at Rochester, Bath, and in
Livingston county.
In Rochester they have a farm of 160
acres connected with the House, and
the average number of inmates support
ed is 329, at an aggregate expense of
$22,325,80; this includes the salary of
the Keeper, $lOOO, that of a Teaeher,
siso, and the salary of a. Matron, $2OO,
and all other incidental expenses. De
ducting the Keeper's salary, and divid
ing the balance of expenditure by the
average number of inmates, and the
result is $1,25 as the cost per week for
each inmate for 1860.
At Bath, Steuben county, N. Y., they
have a farm of about 200 acres, half flat
and half upland. The average number
maintained at that institution is 107, at
an average cost of $1,65 per week, each.
Besides this the.snm of $8,810,44 is paid
out in the several towns in behalf of
persons not sent to the Poor-House.
At Geneseo, Livingston county, they
have a Poor-House apparently very well
managed. The farm contains 118 acres,
and in 1865 the Supervisors rented an
adjoining farm, and placed it under the
supervision of the Overseer, who farm
ed it by employing hands to do such
work as the paupers could not do. At
the close of the year be made report as
follows: Income from farm, SLB49
Less cost of operating, rent, 649
Balance, $7OO •
The average number of inmates at
this establishment for the year was 136.
Average cost, each, per week, Si ak, in
cluding all expenses. In addition to
this sum expended at the Poor-House,
59,523,33 was expended in the several
towns for the relief of persons not sent
to the County House.
In all the places visited the buildings
were of brick, and very extensive. We
submit these facts for the consideration
of the public as the only information
we have been able to gather touching
the subject. No definite plan has been
determined upon for building. Some
advise building of brick as the cheaper
in the long run, the security against fire
being greater. Others advise the build
ing of additions upon the present struc
ture, as a temporary expedient. Just
IT - 7-trau tlxv, - Ova. asrlteoienev, .craglaia 4a3 110 is

sent a statement of the cost of support
ing the poor under the present system,
but so few of the township authorities
have responded that we are unable to
do so. E. S. SEELY,
