Message from the Governor.
GENTLEMEN: tolls and anxiety Of the last
four years have, from time to time, brought on
the severe attacks of disease. From the most
severe OF these l. am slowly struggling towards
recovery. l find that to give my constitution an
opportunity to continue this struggle it is abso-
lutely necessary that l should, without delay
make short sea voyage, and sojourn in milder
climate.
Under the pressure of this necessity go to
the Island of Cuba. 1t is my hope and intention
to return in good season to welcome you on your
arrival at the seat of government, butif it should
be found indispensable that my visit to Cuba
should be prolonged to the latter part of February
this message will serve to lay before you the
cause of my absence at the commencement of
your session. In this case feel sure that you will
adopt such course as shall consist with your
wisdom, and with the affectionate consideration
which I have always received at your hands
1t would however, not become me to forget tina
the issues of life are in the hands of
the One above all, and that many have found
| death waiting for them on the foreign shore tc
which they have been sent in search of health.
Should such be my fate, l shall draw my
iast pIeatn VIII sense vi the ueepesV GRATITUDE
to the people of the Commonwealth, and theil
Representatives, for the cheerful, manly, and
unfailing support which they have giver
during the last four years to the general
cause of the right, and to me in my efforts
to maintain it,; and with prayer of thank
| fulness to Almighty God, that He strengthen &c
| till the end OF the cruel Rebellion, anC
thought me worthy to be permitted t.
| continue that time as Chief Magistrate
| of the people of Pennsylvania and to have my
name connected in that relation with such d
| people during such a time, ought to be enough
