Governors Message.

Governor Curtin, few days ago, sent into
the Senate and House of Representatives a
special message on the subject Of military ar
rests by the National Administration. The
Governor squarcIy admits the iHeg0tny Of
these arrests, and in a cowardiy and craven
spirit, tries to eXcupate himself from respon-
sibIlity, by asserting his ignorance OF the
number of these arrests made. Wat! Free
and loyal citizens of Pennsylvania arrested
without authority of law, carried beyond the
limits of the State, and there Imprisoned ~
government dungeons and held as lelons, no
charge preferred against them OF any crime
tionai right of trial, and this state of things
carried on tor nearly two years and the GtE
ernor of the state be ignorant Of the fact, and
plead that ignorance before the people a
reason for his iHaction Verify, if til. Gov
ernOr is ignorant of these matters he IS the
only man N the state who is SO, and his con-
lzen Of the state to blush.
Bot he not only pleads his ignor,nce bu,
asserts his want Of power to interfere for the
protection OF tie liberty of our cltz-ns, Has
the Governor read the Constitution Of the
State, especially the 9th article, containing
the Declaration of rights ?n Did he not at
the time of his Inauguration swear 10 hnp
port the Constitution, the 9th article aud all?
And is not the Sth section (aud ali other
parts) Of that article a part Of the Cons tltu-
tIon2 And IS 1t not a part of the duty Of
the state Elective 10 project The citizens OF
the State from unlawful arrest or seizure.
Glade at wIl, by the President ard his sub
ordinates, against such unlawful acts com
mutrd 10y any other man Does the Gov
erEOr mean IL assert that II The President,
Secretary Of War, or any OF their Satryps,

When men are found wicked enough to
complain that Presidential prociamatons
should be substituted for the Constitution
and Laws of the land or to denounce the
beneficial expansion of paper money, by which
gold and all commodities are greatly increased
in vaiue to the evident enrichment and pros
pertv OF the people, or to question the man
agement of the war in regard to the rotation
of Generals IN the field or libera!ity to con
tractors of supplies, it is high time for official
power to look after its friends and enlist their
services IN lis defence. Nothing more has
been done in the case Of William Burgess,
who in his capacity of Publisher and editor,
will be pillar of support to the government, !,
and complete illustration of perfect "loy-
atty" in time of trouble and danger.
