PENNSYLVANIA, SS:
In the Name and by the Authority
OP THE
COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA.
ANDREW G. CURTIN,
Governor of the said Commonwealth,
A PROCLAMATION.
Information has been obtained by the War
Department, that a large Rebel force, composed
of cairalry, artillery and mounted infantry, has
- been prepared for the purpose of making a raid
into Pennsylvania, the President has therefore
erected two new departments—one id Eastern
Pennsylvania, tc) be commanded by Major Gen
' eral Conch, and the other in Western Pennsyl
vania, commanded by Major General . Arooks.
I earnestly invite the attention of the people of
Pennsylvania to the general orders issued by
these officers on assuming the command of their
respectlie departments. The importance of im
mediately raising a sufficient force for the de
fence of the State cannot be over-rated. The
corps now proposed to be established will give
permanent security to our borders.
I know too well the gallanti and patriotism.
of the freemen of this Commonwealth to thiniit
necessary to do more than commend this mess:.
nre to the people, and earnestly urge them to re
spond to the call of the General Government
and promptly fill the ranks of these corps, the
duties of which will be mainly the defence of
our own homee, firesides and property from de
vastation.
Given under my hand and the great seal of the
State, at Harrisburg, this Twelfth day of J une
in the year of our Lord one thousand eight
- hundred and sistpthree, and of the Common
wealtt the eighty-seventh: •
BY THE GOVERNOR. ' '
ELI SLIFER,
jel2 Secretary of .the Commonwealth
The War is a Consequence not a Cause
The traitors, North and South, have managed
to delude many good people, that the war, in
stead of being the consequence of a great evil,
is the cause of a great right. The position is
taken, that the South was impelled to rebel
to defend a moral, social end political right.
This is assumed to hide the real facts and objects
et'the rebellion. By the leading; traitors it is
maintained that the war was forced on the
South. In this the rebel cut-throats are sus
tained by their syMpathizers inlhe North,who.
upon — the platformthat slavery is a divine in
institution and that rebellion is the safest and
shortest road to the redress ofsolitical wrongs,
intend to contest the coming campaign in this
State upon the tbeory that the war was and,
still is the consequence of a great wrong always
existing in the Government; a wrong, not
against freedom or any of the vital principles of
our system of government, but against the
divinity and the declared nationality of slavery.;
It matters not, however, what the seeret,or open
enemies of the Government may assert, the
people are fast learning that the war is a coneet
quinCeSnd nova cause. It is the consequence ,
of the - attempted' inroads of the advocates of
slavery, to obstruct the progress and defeatthe
development of free institutions. It is the.con=
sequence of a base system of compromise with .
a still baser wrong. It is the- consequence of
neglecting the franchises of the Government,
until they were monopolized by its governthent:
It is the consequence of allowing wrong to go
uneebuked, until it had dignified itself and re
fused all compliance with law ' arid all, resp6t
to authority. There is nothing in the war but
what is the consequence of some set of , wrong
to the Government. It is the consequence of
pride, lust, ambition, avarice, infidelity, incest,
intemperance and political corruption. It is the
consequence of Democracy as guided and
animated by the principle of slavery. It sprang
from a desire to do wrong and not to uphold
good. All its aims and:ends have been dfreeted
to one purpose, namely, the destruction of free
dom that slavery might prevail. Its upholders'
have always °lathed a superior knowledge of,
and a greater power to administer, the Govern
ment, than the people of the free States, and yet
they revolted in the face of this asserted advan
tage, because they were weary of ;the forms and ,
restrictions of freedom— weary of its equalities,
weary of its healthy restraints, and opposed to
its influences for good coming into antagonism`,
with the wrong they represented.
•
wheet,the war was first inaugurated, many
good men really feared that some wrong had
'been done the people' of the South, and that
the rebellion was the cause of such wrong.
Bat time, with the progred and ferocity of the
war as it is waged by the, traitors, has proved
the groundlessness of such a belief. Men do
not hecome demons when engaged in the de
fence of a right. It is only when wrong. and
sin and corruption are espoused .and defended,
that men let loose their passions, become
beasts, and defy all humane and honorable
restraints. These passions, as they wore put
forth by the teachings of a system of hunian
slavery, have upheld the war, and hence the
war itself is the * consequence of slavery. if
there had been no slavery conspiracy Would
have been unknown. Had slavery nevekeert
tolerated, there would have been no antagonism
for freedom. Had freedommever been antago:
nized, treason would have been without a Ate:
fender. The war is the c6lasequence.of the'
protection given to•slaVery, from the moment it

The Commanders of the Eastern and
'Western Departments.
The organization of Pennsylvania into two
Military Departments, has given an impetus to
the martial spirit of the Commonwealth,
which will soon develop itself in a magnificent
and efficient array of troops on our border. The
commander of the Eastern or Susquehanna
Department, General Couch, Is a native of
Putnam county; New York, 40 years old, and a
graduate of West Point of the year 1846. He
served with distinction in Mexico, and after
wards in Florida. In 1853 he obtained a year's
leave of absence for the purpose of making a
scientific tour in Mexico, the results of which
he gave to the world in a book called "Notes
of Travel." He resigned from the - army in
1854, . and in July, 1861, when residing 10
Massachusetts, he was commissioned Colonel of
the Seventh Massachusetti regiment. Soon of
ter wards he was appointed a Brigadier General
of Volunteers, and had a brigade assigned to
him in the Army of the Potomac: Afterwards
he commanded a division in the corps of Gen•
Keyes, and especially distinguished himself in
the battle of Fair Oaks. He was made a Ma
jor General of Volunte.ers soon after, and has
served with great gallantry in all the battles of
the Army of the Potomac that have since oc
curred. He will naake an excellent commander
for this department.
General Brooks, who commands the Depart
ment of the Mortonghsla, is a native of Ohio,
and.abontforty-eight years of age. He.gradu
ated at West Point in 1841, and gained distinc
tion at Monterey, Churubusco, and in a battle
with the Indians of New Mexico in 1858. Hit
rank in the regular army, is ititajor of the
Eighteenth Infantry. .He was appointed Brig.;
adier General of Volunteers, September, 12th,
1861, and took'pat in the battles before' Rich
mond and at Antietam, his brigade being in 1
General Smith's division, Franklin's corps: He
was afterwards made a Major General of Voll
nutters; and has commanded a division of thl
Army of the Potomac, under Burnside and
Hooker.
—Our people would have,been better pleaded
had the Government detailed Pennsylvanians
lead them in the service to which they havejust,
been summoned.. We have the military genius
and skill to discipline and lead'the martial en
ergy and enthusiasm with which our good old,
Commonwealth abound, and hence it would
haie been only an. act of deserved recognition
had the President ordered officers•of Pennsylva:
nia birth to lead our people to the fight. But
the officers detailed are good men,.oii we must
,do, all'to sustain and encourage them in
discharge of their respective duties. -
The Real Issue of this Wale.
• • •
If the people had no other sources of infori
mation. but those which represent the tort'-
sympathizing interests of-Democratic partleaße,
the issue of the slave linlders' rebellion would
never be properly understood. The organs of
Democracy have made it .their interest' to mis;
represent the real purpose, of the war by as.
serting that it was a crusade on the rights and
interests of the people of the South. If it were
not for the people of the South, thwelves,
this assertion of Northern treason sympathisbre
would go unoontradicted, snd the people would
thus htleft to accept as a: verity that , the war
was in reality a crusade to erusla tiie entire
South. This the organs .of treason in the
South deny. They will not recognize the de
claration that the Government is fighting
against the South—but that thaSouth is fight
ing against the Government, because that Gov
ernment is unworthy I.nagerto ;be sustainel—,
To admit that the government was lighting
agatuat the'Sonth, would be to admit that there
was wrong in the Routh, n confession which
neither a rebel or a rebel sympathizer has yet
been willing to make. As an evidence of
the opposite, we , quote from the Richmond
Enquire of a late dale
"The establishment of this confederacy. is
verily a distinct-reaction, against the whole
course of the mistakencivitisatlon of. the age.
And' this is the trrie reason why'we have been
left without the sympathy of the nations until
we conquered tbat",sym,pathv itrith,the shall)
'edge Of our sword. For I'llberti, Equality;
Fraternity,' we lfiVe'd(l3 iberately substituted
slavery, subordination and government. Those
social and political problems which rack and
orture modern society wellive undertaken to
solve for ourselves, in our own way, and` , upon
our ownprinciples. 'That 'among equals equal
ity is right; among those who are not natural
ly equal, equality is chaos; that there ate'Slave
races born to serve, master fame born to
govern. Such are the "fundamental prinoirdes
which we inherit from the ancient world; which
we lifted np in the face of a perverse genera
tion that has forgotten the wisdom of its
fathers; by those principles we live and id
their defence we have shown ourselves ieady td
die. • •Reverently we feel that our confeale:racy is
a God•sent.misidonary to the natiOni, •with
great truths topreaoh. We must speak boldly
and; Whom bath ears to hear let him hear.”.
We trust hereafter, onr copperhead ene
mies will place the issue of the i war in its. M. 0.:
per light. The Governmentle not fighting on
any other issue but that of self proservation.— ;
The supporters of slavery resolved to destroy
the Union and thus overthrow the Government:
It is endeavoring, to maintain itself. The .lElov 7
cirnment should strike bloivs directly-at slavery.
The advocates of the system, and not the Gov l
ernment, are to blame. We leave this
issue as it is stated by the Richmond_ organ of
Jeff. Davisto the consideration of the Penney"-
vauia organs of the same wretch.'
Enlightened.,
From the moulage of the Governor we learn
that -he has learned that Pennsylvania •is in
danger of a rebel -invasion. Why this danget
should exist with nearly, if not quite, 200;000
troops in Waihingtonluid Within forty or - fifty
mike Of it, we imat aloes to conceive,- unlesa
the authorities consider it a military necessity
topernaltiel—Tory Organ..
We will enlighten outtory neighbor, by re
minding it that its long as the GoferriMent
tolerates Ahestreason which is daily fulminated
through iteicolumns, there is danger Of 'rebel
invasion. `Theyebels have a right to infer that
a Government *filch cannot protect' Welt' fFom
such enemies _as Oak:4T press of the north,
'hail the'!Tweet to' fastiate.inviudon". Hence 'the
oonitautmenaceeof the rebels to invade Penn
sylVattia. TheY are itfoorrazitioication With the
torios in th!zinojAh—thei underetand,t4j3w4
meats and feelitOs of those living in thieSta,
wbo.sympaibize with reason—they •denigless
intie these S entiments'as.the `are
reflected in such sheets as the Tory Organ, and
hence it is not to be wondered at, that the
rebels are struggling to invade the north, .to
relieve their Democratic friends from "Lincoln's
rule," and establish the blessings of Davie'
Government, The only wonder to us has
been, and is, that th( Be attempts at invasion
are not more frequently made. It will not be
the fault of the Tory Organ if the present
threatened invasion fails.
The Arrest of Rev. Leacook.
Our readers will find a fall account, as fir as we
can possibly ascertain, of the arrest of this Rev.
gentleman. The cause of this arrest has not been
Made public. It is some time since he returned
from New Orleans, where he refused to take the
oath of Allegiance, and frgm what we can learn,
he has lived quietly, without offending any one.
Unless some recent discoveries have been made
against him, we think that Gen. Schenck, by
whose order we hear it was done, has committed
a great error. If arrests of this kind are to be
made in his department he might find partiEs
who have done, and are doing to day, a great
deal more to assist the rebellion than Mr. L.
has done here-lately. - We hope that a speedy
and impartial trial may be' had In his and all
similar cases, to avoid all unnecessary com
plaints. _ .
The arrest took every -person .here by sur
prise, and we hope it,rnay prove a ; warning to
all syMpathizers with treason and Jeff. Davis'
government.
THE WHITER HT THE TORE OBOAN, this morn
ing, who signs himself "A Christian Minister,"
is either a fool'or-a knave.' . .lf the former, he
should be conveyed to the Lunatic Asylum at
once, and if the latter, we advise.the people of
Harrisburg to 'place locks on their chicken
coops. If the writer in question is really a
minister; weivent,ure the assertion; that)* is a
hypocrite—a hypocrite not only in his calling
as an apostle, of God, but in his sacred or-most
casual friendship. But for the honor of
the profeetkon of the Christian ministry, we
will endeavor to believe that the writer of the
article in, questio4mever.occupiekt a pulpit, and
seldom tykes a seat in the house where God's
religion is preached.
