paik Ettegrap4 HAFRLSBURG, PA Monday Evening darlUaTY 11, _speaker : Penney. Look to the Senate The attitude assumed by the minority in the Senate, and the revolutionary if not treasona ble tendency of the course of those opposing the majority in their efforts to organize that hOdy, have at length the serious atten tion of men of all parties in the Commonwealth. It is now fairly admitted that we have a ellaue in Pennsylvania which maintains an organiza tion for, no.other putpose but that of : " opposing ; the •fchavrrrnment.: Me . patrietic men of. the Derrick - Talk patty begin to see and admit this!, fact themselves. Men who have heretifore anted with the Democracy in good faith, now look to the Senate and tremble at the contem plation of the wrong to which they . contributed a share by sustaining at the polls those who now seek the demolition of a principle upon which rests the foundation of the Government, that the majority !shall rule. It is against this principle that the minority of the Senate now contend. Having secured an unfair advantage by ; the vicissitudes of the war—in the absence of one who never.failed in hia courtesy as a Sew tor to the most malignant of his opponents-- sizteantonkirable Democratic Senators have set the Whole "einintry' an exahaple of mammas,' petty spite and low political irindictivenestf,: which the denizens of the meet corrupt abodes ' , of the purlieus. of the State Capital would shrink from emulating. Indeed:so far'as the miterity are concerned, their attitude has nothing of principle, parliamentary courtesy, or political honor about it. As truckling politicians, they have found themselves suddenly invested with power, by the accidents of war, 'with which' the judgment of the people refused to, clothe 'them, and this power they are using to tickle and please their ignorant partisans 'even while they jeopard and damage the public business and the honor of the. Commonwealth. : —ln defiance of the attitude of the niinoritY,' the poSition occupied by Senator Penney is ; one distinguished by moral courage, while it is.con- . trolled by a noble devotion to the highest principles involved in the dignity of legislation' and the safety of the Commonwealth. The firm stand taken by Speaker Penney has un doubtedly thus far frustrated the revolutionary designs of the minority. He has 'really saved the Commonwealth from anarchy. He has ar rested rebellion where the sympathizers with treasonzaleulated the integrity of a loyal State was the most vulnerable. The Dintone of the minority in the Senate bad sworn to ever rule the majority is that body—they had cove nanted with Jeff, Davis that, provided he'Would retain Harry White a captive in the filthy prisons of the Confederacy, they would level the proud loyalty of. Pennsylvania and bring, her people low into the dust before copperhead. Democracy and slave-holding treason ! Aside from the sharing of a few offices of. trust and honor, to satisfy the hungry: hangers on to the minority in the Senate, this is the purpose of, opposing the organization of that body. Bat thus .far the machinations of these "bold, bad -men" have been frustrated. The calm €Peaker Penney his defeated the ifoist plot .ever entered into for the. disgrace and, the degradation of the people Of Pennsylvania He hasmantained,inviolate, thegrea twlnciplee involvedin the rule of the inajblity. suc-. easefully defended theintegrity of the Senate. Hahne defeated revolution in: the legislature, And he has counteracted an influence with which the enemies of the Government hoped to triumph over the constitutional autherities of the State and nation Such servicemill :not wanto n:limbered or unrequited. " - • Who lo Spiakor ofthe Sonale The contest now.going on in the Senate is of more importance than many suppose. Senator; Clymer and his friends, who pretend to be govi eimed by principle, - lrive made one mistake:; They- aver their Willingness to abandon thsh principlei for the consideration that their puy-1 deans shall have half of the offices in the, Senate, below Speaker .. They offerthelepkticii pies in the n2irket " for sale." They name price, and unblushingly prate ;of virtue. ln public debate tlie proposition. 'was. made. "Here's your nice, fine principles ; who'lebuy f" Is this all? For the refusal to'pay the pike; they reVolt. They are rvoluthmiate k and we will prove it. What says the ConStitution? "Each house shall- choose its Speaker-.and other officers, and ihe Senate shall also choose a i Speaker pro innpore When the Speaker shalL exercise the office ,of Governor.". This le a, plain provision. that the Speakerihip rentairo in the same person after 'the meetMgcd ; llie Legislature. The Constitution does not say the Senate shall annually °hones a Speaker, hut it does say that imder certain - circrinisfailais - trie Senate shall not at its annual meeting choose 'a Speaker. Let us illustrate. IL the Governor dies leas than three months preceding an election, the Speaker, of the Senate is the Governor, and eonligues to be the Governor until the g . eneral election, more than a year thereafter ; and while he is the Governor, the Senate has neith'er the right nor the power to choose any other Man "the Speaker, of the Senate ;" fat•the Constitution says, " and the Senate shall alto - choose a Speaker pro terniore when the Speaker shalresercise the tiffipe 6f 'Governor." Mark the words "shall also;citc.4-a Speaker pro tem pore." The Speaker ort* i llbhe Gubernatorial chair, the Senate cannot oueVhiat by choosing any oilier man. The SPeakerechosen the year before is by the Oonstitutiowdeclared to be the Speaker still, and the 'Senate are prohThited in ex press words from choosing. another. The con vention which framed the Constitution saw the danger and provided 014445:it It, and declared the Speakership of the Senate to be a conetitu• tional and perpetual being. Had Governor Curtin diednn the 15th of October last, John P. Penney would luve been Governor by; irtue of his being Speaker,of the Senate, ItruLthen it would have been the ;(111tir : of the Senate to " also choose a Speaker pro ietnpore." precise words the Constitution limits the power of the Senate to this. We hope to hear from these men of "prirteF, plea " what is the cast value ota Violation:6f the Cgristitation. Collapse of Ca.. 11.9yel Govie.kament. Thereto lees of „the sensational 'than is imag• „ teed the reports brought fro m 'Richmond that the Confederitte Government is on its last lege. It is allcuittedln- their newspapers and official documents that unkssmearut are devised for redeeming their currency,thQ rebellion mast go under. five-dollar .goldL piece sold the other day in Richmond for $159 in Confederate money, and a year's pay of a Government clerk will not now' buy him a ,Snit of clothei. Of course this state of thitige cannot continue long without producing a rebellion on , the part of their own deceived and disappointed people. The half fed, half clad chivalry havolittle to rejoice over in the advent of a new year. Their leaders who promieed them a glortions independent nation havegiven them a military.' despotism unrecognized by any civilized nation on the globe. They see half thy territory they claim occupied by the armies of the .' CTnion, end her flag waving on . some portion. of her every State. They blow the hopelessness' of trying to Jeep up their army, and feel that their boasted navy is a miset"ahlo failure, With `starvation and want Oaring them in the face, they cannot help' Vilkithig of the happy times they enjoyed under the old sag, and will learn, ilow futile their efforts to prevent that banner :grating over the whole domain of the old thnon,once more. Again they re,. that the North is entering the contort in earnest. and that her people were nevermore i determi¢edlyunited than now. The display of strength and resources by our Government proves4hat the war has rather brought out than, rliminbihed her strength. Plenty reigns in every State arid iiighbothood,, and there will be less suffering among our poor. this year than there 'was before the war. In addition to this, ittnitist fire the Southern heart to realize the foot that the Slates claimed as part of .their Confederacy, have furnished over one hundred thousand men for.lt: Union armies. Many melee; as sour armteiadvence, win hail with joy their coming, and enroll themselves on the aide of then. country. Ho patriot ever, believed that it wee the will of Heaven that traitors shouid SuCcOetein destroying that Gov emnsentwhich wes.so . long the recipient of her smiles, and though the chastening rod has fal len heavily on it, at the fitting time it will be withdrawn. The logic of events proves that the day is nearer 'than many of us imagine.i. Meanwhile let notinir heats falter in the work of hastening the happY title. They Have LoeLtheir Old !Dunnlag. In looking fairly at the.. proceedings of the. Senate, and' cothparing the acts of the present Democratic leaders, with the course of the leaders of that party years,ago, thp most casual' observer cannot fag to be imliressutwith the fact that they are losing their old cunning.

CUMBIRLAMD, Saturday, Jan. 9.—Perhaps by mere accident, rather than through gross negli gence, on the part of a rebel brigade command er, we have become possessed of. an official docu ment setting forth what was •intended to be the original plan of Gen.

Early wag to cut the Baltlamre and Ohio railroad at Martinsburg, and by a combination of movements, Attempt the capture of such Union forces as were betteeen. Martinsburg and New-Oreek. At the latter place, Gen. Early, having, heard that we were concentra ting. troops _ et,....llfastinsburg, and having also bets reliably.

He, however, dispatched Germ. Fitzhugh Lee and Rosser to attempt the capture of.the garrison at Petersburg, Hardy county. How this failed, the reader already knows. &weer Was to try and get into Cumberland and capture or destroy all the stores here. Both Lee and Rosser failed, became Early could not get to them the promised fteinforce merits, with artillery, &c. This is what the official rebel document sa ys in regard to the late movements and the different plans adopted.
