"Mid the-StmLipangfed Banner, oh long may It wave - . 1
brerthaland'of tin free and the home of the brave." I
Thertclarkest period in our National history
iatte airiVed, and we , are now passing through
the most fearful ordeal , to' which our experi.
ment of popular institutions has 'ever been
subjected. Our patriot sires struggled through
a long and bloody conflict to secure for their
posterity the blessings we have enjoyed, and
labored to frame a Government that would
irr'oteCt . the 'rights and reflect the wishes of the
American people.. To guard against usurps
tion,;and foster healthy and vigorous progress,
.they provided for frequent elections and a
legal method of amending the Constitution
when defects were discovered; thereby ren
dering resistance to the laws, or , a revolution
against 'the Govarnment, not only unneces
sary, but morally and legally criminal.
But, notwithstanding this wise and equita
ble method of correcting mistakes in policy,
errors in government, improving the laws, or
altering the compact by peaceful means, mis
guided men in the North and in the South
have fomented passion and prejudice to such
a degree that it has ripened into treason and
reliellien, so that our once prosperous Nation
trembles from its centre to its extremities.—
The delusive dream and empty hope that the
war Clouds 'which skirted the Southern horizon
might pass away, and the bright sunshine of
peace again visit the land, has failed, and the
dreaded catastrophe of an armed conflict is
upon us in all its fierceness and intensity.—
This being the case the time has arrived when
; political differences should be merged in a
patriotism 'which knows no party but our
country—recognizes the legitimacy of no
revolution but through the ballot-box—and
acknowledges no man as a patriot and a
brother .who refuses allegiance to the Govern
ment. We must stand by the old flag under
which our fathers rallied and conquered, and
adopt the maxim of the gallant Decatur—
" Oar Country, may, she always be right ;
but, right or wrong, our Country."
STAND BY THE COUNTRY
The fearful alternative of civil war and all
its attendant horrors is upon us, and it is now
too late to quibble about the causes, or to
arraign the motives of men. A single duty
remains, and that is, to stand by and main
tain the government in its determination to
'retain possession of the public property. We
have no security for life, or property, or social
good, without government, and however
obnoxious to us may be some of its component
parts or its measures, these must be left for
settlement until the cloud that now covers the
horizon shall have been driven off, and the
government itself made secure• and impreg.
nable .against treachery and traitors from
whatever quarter. "Sink or swim, live or die,
survive or perish," we must stand by the old,
flag. Beneath its folds we have attained to
greatness and prosperity—our homes and
hearths have been secured and protected, and
we "have gone in..and come out with no one,
to molest or make us afraid." With one
mind and one heart we must now rush to that
old standard and keep it flying, 'peaceably if
we can,—foreibly if we must." If our mis
guided Southern brethren, smarting under
real or fancied wrongs, are not content to
wait for prejudice and passion to cool for an
adjustment of our differences, and will have
no arbitrament but that of the sword, we
must defend and protect ourselves, AND WE ,
WILL. ,
BALTIMORE UNDER DIOR RULE
The accounts received yesterday from Balti
more represent the mob as having almost
complete control of the City—the authorities
being powerless to restore order. The three
regiments (including the two companies from
this city) which left Harrisburg on Saturday
night were encamped sixteen miles on this
side of Baltimore, and it was expected they
would have to force their way through the
city at the point of the bayonet. A number
of the 'bridges on the different lines of railroad
leading into the city were destroyed and, the
Febale: were prowling about the country in
squads stopping every person they met An
attack on Fort McHenry was hourly expected,
but there it was expected the mob would meet
with a warm reception. •

PA:TB,TOTISICI A.ROVSIED I
The attack by the Secessionists upon Fort
Sumter, and its surrender after a bombard.
ment of thirty-four hours, has given an impetus
to the military spirit in Pennsylvania which
is perfectly irresistible. In this City our
young men are enrolling themselves by scores,
and the ranks of the Rifles and Fencibles were
filled up in a few days. We have no doubt
that a very handsome battalion could still be
formed in this City alone. The same spirit
exists in Philadelphia, where several regiments
are being rapidly organized, and in other
cities and towns throughout the Common
wealth. The sixteen regiments exacted by
the President from Pennsylvania will doubt—
less, soon be in the 'field, and if the other
States respond to the call with the same
degree of alacrity, it will be but a very short
time until the seventy-five thousand . men
required are ready for marching orders. We
have never witnessed a stronger determination
among all classes of our citizens to stand by
the glorious old flag of our country. The
spirit that animated our Revolutionary ances
tors still burns in the breasts of their descend
ants, and we trust it =ever may continue to
animate our children and children's children
to the latest posterity.
We publish this morning the reasons of the
Democratic members of the Senate for voting
against the bill which passed the Legislature,
appropriating $500,000 to be disbursed by a
Military Commission in reorganizing the
military of the Commonwealth. These reasons
constituted a sufficient justification for that
vote at the time it was given. HostKities had
not commenced by the act of the Confederate
States—nor had the President of the United
States issued his proclamation calling upon
the States to come to the assistance of the
Government in vindicating its authority. The
objections are confined principally to the de
fects or omissions in the act, and not to its
purpose. Since the President has called upon
_the military of this State to maintain the
existence of the Government to which we all
owe allegiance, there is no room for differences
of opinion as to our duty. With one voice
Pennsylvania will respond to the summons,
and show that her people are now, as ever,
ready to obey the call of their country.

VIRGINIA AGAINST THE UNION.
_ There is no longer reason to doubt that the
Virginia Convention pasised the ordinance of,
secession declaring that State out of the Union,
several days ago, and that she is arming
-against-the Government. The not of secession
was carried in secret session, and in order to
accomplish certain military movements, all
information as to what had transpired was
suppressed. The“news comes frorn'the South,
where there was the greatest rejoicing at the
defection of the mother of States. Governor
Letcher refuses to respond to the President's
proclamation, and defies the Government of
the United States. It is rumored: that the
Government at Washington .has received - re.
liable intelligence that - a large force, under
command of Governor Wise, was about to
start for Washington. While Virginia is thus
moving with alarming celerity, we have
information of a murderous attack made upon
the Massachusetts regiment while passing
through the 'shy of Baltimore. In view of
these faCts it is impossible to suppress the
deepest solicitude for the safety of Washington.
The city is vulnerable from nearly .every
divectiod, surrounded as it is by Virginia and
Maryland. Within a few days the Adminis
tration will concentrate as many troops at
Washington as are necessary for its, defence.
THE RIGHT TALK.
The Boston Jouinal, a Republican paper,
dilly appreciates the position of the Demooraoy
at this time, and does justice to their motives.
It says t--
• "We are proud to acknowiedge the patriotic
intrepidity , of our Democratic brethern in this
-crisis; and we shall consaiously.do nothing to
diminish or discourage it. We understand
well their position. Whey are for the country,
for the Union, and therefore for the Govern
inentand in ail practical dutiei they are
with Us and of us. But when titne renews
- the opportunity for 'the indulgence of party
conflicts, they will still be Democrats,; and if
on that arena they should take up the broken
ljnk of controversy, it : would be all right.
We should,expect the Republicans to be held
to strict accountability for their use of power
in the meantime, and should join issue
thereon. But not now—the waiver - is complete'
on all sides. One all.preveiling spirit makes
us a unit in the . defence. of the Government
and the discomfiture of its assailants. Tho
latter now behold what perhaps they did not
anticipate, eighteen millions of people rising
in their-majesty, without a thought of party,
and with the Only thought of their country."

All' power vested in - the Governor of the
