GOVERNOR CURTIN.

ssIO. That the constant devotion of Gov
ernor Curtin to the best interests of the
State and nation during the last four years,
and his iudefatigable efforts on all occasions
to nav the Just debt of gratitude we owe our
national defenders, not merely by words,
but also by deeds, entitle him TO the thanks
of every loyal citizen ofPennsylvania
This brief resolution, from the platform
framed by the Union State Convention at
Harrisburg, does but scant justice to the
chief magistrate of this commonwealth, and
we are sure that the people generally were
nrenared for a much stronger endorsement.
Governor Curtin has guided the destinies of
PENNSYLVANIA during period when it re-
ouired all his prudence and shrewdness to
resist the efforts of alarmists TO plunge us
into vast financial embarrassments, which
could not have benefited us permanently,
and would have done no more toward pro-
tecting us against invasion than was done by
the regular action Of the forces of the United
States. Governor Curtin has saved Penn
sylyania from an ocean of debt, and it is to
his credit mainly that the finances ofthe COM
monwealth are now in a far better condition
than ever before during the past twenty
years. Very few States Of this Union can
say this after the experience of the past tive
yeas. The fidelity displayed by him toward
the citizen soldiers of the State in the pen
ding war, has been everywhere the subject
of praise. No soldier of Pennsylvania has
been by him left uncared for anywhere. Tc
this record even the Democratic members OF
the Legislature have occasionally borne tes-
timony. His administration has enjoyed
the counsel and services of some of the most
eminent men in the State, who are fairly en-.
| titled TO share of the credit of its success
Of these, his legal adviser, Attorney Gene
raj William NJ. Meredith, formerly Secreta
ry Of the United States Treasury, is too wei
known in Philadelphia to need reference Al
our hands. The Hon. Eli Slifer, Secretary
of the Commonwealth, who is not SO wei
known here, is very able man, and has ex
ercised wholesome influence. Adjutan
General Russell has proved himself mos
efficient officer in his difficult position A
State administration composed of such mel
could not fail to be successful. "
We clip the above high compliment. t.
our State administration, and the officer
composing it, from the Philadelphia Nortl
american 1t carries the greater weigh
from the fact that the North american sci
dom compliments men, and never until as
sured the compliment is deserved.
