Mit.• liorron:—l was greatly rejoice*
to- witness, in Montrose, yesterday; such
a unanimity of sentiment. touching the
awful crisis that is upon us. I was glad to
hear men who have heretofore differed
upon questions of national policy, uniting
their voices in favor of maintaining' the
.'honor of the American Flag, and in sup
port of the Constitution and the Union.
I was proud to look;upon Aso Many, brave
men, who, in *this hour•of their country's
peril, have sundered the ties that bound
•thetwto home and . friends, and hare vol
imteered to aid in preserving our nation
ality, and vindicating the majesty. of the
law.. They are treading in the footsteps
of our fore-fathers, who chose tb "die tree=
,men rather than to live slaves." . If they
are called to the field of battle, may they
unflinchingly -face the foe ; and - all the
womidithey receive be in front Severat
of our townshipS are doing nobly in • the
way of volunteers; but as I saw the col
'limn marching to the fair ground, I, con:
fess I was surprised, to see' in the ranks so
few men of your Borough. - Men, strong,'
- able-bodied men of Montrose, tbr several
days past have been over our eonnty so
licking recruits; but several ofthese scone
persons wbre not among those who have
so patriotically responded to their conn
-try's 01. they imagine' they .have
d one th e ir i d i rd e duty when theyhave in
cited others to arms? Doctor Warren

that was coming -upon them '•• but the

.: . undersigned; r members of tle.Sen
ate4 desire to place upon the journal their
reasons for Voting against the bill in this
body on Friday, April 120, 4. I).,: .1 sg I,
entitled "An Act for the better organiza
;den of tholdilitia of theVoiiitrionVenlth.'?
The act provides for the appointment,
by the Gov - ernor of Pennsylvania, of a
milit4
v commission,
.elothed . with 'MI
-
• ' •
i*atul 'extraordinary poivers to reorganize
, the militiaof the Commonwealth. The
I. tiire.mid , ,vhapeter of- the: organization
licrOposed Is not sei,linth ',,,in.l.lie t set., and
is, therefore; entirety' MiknoWri - to the
Senate 'and flii , ite : of- Renrerentatives.
The ConStitution expressly declares, that
"the lin:Am of this Commonwealth shall
I be armed, organized and disciplined for
I its defence, when, hi such manner as may
-be directed by law ;" , and further, that
"the military shall, in all cases and at all
tikes,
,be in strict subordination to the
civil. power." Under the proVisioas of
the act•rtforesairl,' unlimited 'authority 4-
vested - in a:military emmaissioh, wlioSe
ineinberS are to act independently of the
regislature; and thus the last inakisig
poWer, widet(nlone• Shmilit,controt and
direct the organization desired in thepres
.ent mid in all entorgcapieS; is' deprived of
the privilvge °intim; .uport r , the details of
a systole which is .ofthe niOSt :vital im
portance to the" citizens of IPennsylVaitia.
If the "eivirpower",inast blindly yield to
a military supremacy,' it Will Be . an easy
trap'sitiOn to piss from known and exist
hirr' Laws to a Military despotism 'sustained
and upheld lira standing arniy, ..Since
the opening of the prescrittsession no'at
, tempt - been made by th innjority in
this body to re-organize the militia in a
proper and constitutional Im:inner, and
the representatives of the people have not
-been permitted to deliberate upon any
%ensure to remedy the evils, in our milita
, rysystem; which this act now prOposcs
to cure. Before the undersigned could
give their sanction to any . system ofre-or
_ganization they mint kno*- its • details—
this is clearly their constitutional right—
and- they should not be called upon to .
• place tiii4 important subject entirely and
unreservedly in the hands of an unknoWn
aiilitlry commission.
The heavy Wilhelm resting upon the
people demand that all expenditures from
the public treasury should be made with .
caution, and, when madc,•shOuld be guard
ed with propermid necessary restrictions.
Whild the peetahir .System. lof re-organi
zatioif is closely veiled from the public
eye the manner of disposing of the cum.-
' inonstun
s'appropriated in the net Mb
. re
1-said is equally vague and undefined. This
act, in effect, makes the GOVernor of the
Commonwealth the disburser of hall' a
milliiin dollars, if so much 14) needed, and
contains io provisions for a proper. dis
cretionary power on the pait of the ae•
counting officers of the Government in
the allowance and settlemel'it of the :le
•
counts. . The sum appropriated May be
)I.sed well-it may just as readily -1.. c 'ex-.
' pcnded improperly—this will depend in a
great measure upon the *Octet. of the
military commission . appointed by the
Governor, the . names of whieh have not
yet been' presented to the Senate for its
approval. . , i
It is , our unquestioned daty as legisla
tors to put this State in a condition to re
pel invasion, to suppress insarreeticin, and
to defend our borders in time of war. For
these purposes, by the secodd- section of
the . eleventh
.artiele of the iConstitution,
wo-are authorized to contraet debts:' I fad
the evidence- been Surnisherd to us that
either -of these causes existed, we wofild
most cheerfully have joined in supporting
any proper 'and constitutiOnal measure
denianded by the exigencieii of the times'.
Again, it is our manifest duty as a State,
willin , dy to respond to—any req u isition
,-,. .
made upon us by the
~President of the
United
_States to supportithe General
' Government ; to protect the I public. prop
! Oily, and to enforce - the lakes.. At the
time the bill was under eonlsideratien no
such requisition had been made, eitlier.d.i
rectly or indirectly, to the knowledge of
the undersigned. But iriorder clearly to
evince :Our desirennd intention torespond
to any such zequisition, We asked the
privilege of voting for the last clause 'of
-the third section of tale act ailtresaid.-- 1
Thisprivilege was not granted, and we - .'
were, therefore, compelled; by a strict 1
sense of ditty, and fOr the reasons herein
before stated, to cast Our iotes, against
the entire -bill. , - • i
,That the citizens of this_State will. nev
er fail -to respond to such ainquisition is
attested. - by-the eagerness With which fier .
patriotic sons rushed to the 4,upport of our
National Flag Mae - War. With- Mexico.
That they will do so again in obedience
te a call of the CliiefExecutive ofthe Na-,.
.tion, no One will doubt ; :and in all' his eon-'
stittitional efforts to ripholdl the Govern. :
ment, to protect its property, to Maintain

Yours truly,
Unwarranted Impudence.
At the present - time, when civil ..war
stares. us in the, face when every lover of
his
-country is called upon to 'stand by the
"Stars and Stripes and defend the Consti
tution, there, are :t few individuals in our
village who assume a great deal ,of re
sponsibility and -make it a business to
stand about the streets to insult and even
threaten those men who have always
been true to-their country and the - Union.
.They even tap: old men upon the should
er
who defended the Constitntion while
they Were spitting' upon it.—men . who
'never etitertained any other' sentiment in
their li N : e S, but -a union sentiment, - and
tell them that they should be careful
what they say. They call Men traitorsl
whose sons, or friends have already en- I
listed to fight the battles of their country,
anti :venture • where Wu' dare net go. i
Against such arrogant folly and brainless
impudent.° we most decidedly. protest:-
It is not the way to keep the public sen
timent of this County consolidated. Snell
men, if theyhave any business at home,
"should attend to it—if they have - not,
Ithen they should either "dry up" or enlist.
We de not believe there is a man in -,the I
county of Broome, whose proclivities
,heretolere- have Veen with the Democrat- I
is party,•but who is ready and willing to 1
, stand by "thy flag-of ourlfnion" so long
as there is ono star left, • and defend the
Constitution as our flit hers framed it.
And before. thesemen, (who all -of a sud
den have been - seized with a wonderful
love for the ConstitutiOn,)talk.about trea
son; and caution old and tried
. Union, men
about . tvhat they shall say, they had bet
ter rook over the enlistment rolls and see
who fire rpally tipht ing, the battles of the
Union and the Constitution.
. . We have forborne Making these re
marks for some time hoping these Men
would Cease :their unwarranted impu
dunce. Modesty, common- decency, anl

so at once: We want but one -feeling,
