Have we Traitors Among Us P
In the midst of the contention which
has excited the belligerent feelings of the
people of the South, and in full view of
their combative demonstrations, it is re
freshing to behold the decision, fortitude
and coolness with which the masses of
he North maintain all their attitudes.
As we wrote yesterday, there is - only one
sentiment animating the mass of men in
the North and North-west, and that is
composed of a strong and reverential feel
ing of devotion to the Constitution and
the laws of the land. For these they are
willing to risk their all of business pros
pects and business interests, but not one
iota of that glorious, truth-inspiring and
liberty-loving creed which was emblazon.
ed on their banners during the campaign
of '6O. This feeling prevails among that
class of men whose interests and living
are invested in the business of the coun
try—in that business which is made up
of their own productions and consump
tion. It is the feeling of the laboring
man and mechanic displayed for a land
they love because labor created its wealth
and developed its grandeur. But even
while this patriotic feeling and generous
devotion to real principle prevails at the
North and the North-west, we have in
every community those who repudiate
any and every obligation to the interests
by which they live and from which they
derive their respectability. Therefore we
have asked and thus answered the ques
tion, Have we Traitors Among Us I If
any man doubts that the treason which is
now boldly at work in the South, has its
abettors and accessories at the North, let
him watch the course and position of a
class of men who started so pompously
with the administration of James Buchan
an. Three years ago, the power and patron
age sif the federal government were in
the hands of the slave-ocracy of the
South. The man who obtained place
and power then was pledged and sworn to
the very treason which is now raging at
the South. It was neither disguised that
the slave power predominated in the gov
ernment, or that its demands should be
satisfied, but it is now boldly asserted
that Mr. Buchanan was committed to seces
sion. He was pledged to secession in any
event, and fulfilled his first construction
of that pledge by dividing the Democrat
ic party, and thus giving the southern
people a pretext for presenting a solid
flout to the progress of free institutions
and white labor in the North. This was
the first step in the leas concocted scheme
of treason, and when it becomes necessa
ry to take the second, other influences be
gan to prevail in the administration, and
other men were fortunately summoned to
its councils and its commands. But the
treason was there, and the traitors were
every where giving expression to its force
and sentiment to its declarations, if there
can be sentiment in so black a crime as
treason. .
Have we traitors among us? Yes, we
have had and still have a band of men in
our midst who are capable of betraying
every interest we cultivate, and foretelling
every plan of our progress and prosperity.
The treason of Arnold was not more ma
lignant, than that of the traitors of to-day.
Both were engendered by the passion
which is made desperate by disappoint
ment, and constitute a treason which des
plays itself in more shapes than one. If
started with James Buchanan when, as a
representative from Pennsylvania, he as
sisted in the betrayal of Andrew Jackson.
It showed itself from that time in various
forms and under different circumstances,
until the - country was startled and dismay
Ptnrispltiania IDativ atlegrapb, (Eburoball ifternaan, January 17, 1$&1.
ed with the treason of George M. Dallas
when he betrayed the interests of Penn
sylvania by his casting vote in the Senate
of the United States. It has progressed
since then until now, always clinging to
and developing itself in the councils and
the organization of the Democratic party,
until it has•boldly assumed the shape of
treason which aims a blow not only at the
prosperity of the free States,but at the lives
of our citizens. It now openly and boldly
declares a determination to join in any cru
rusade against the North, started in any
quarter and waged for any purpose. It
prints its frank adhesion to the standard of
revolt raised in South Carolina,and calls on
its fraternity of traitors in the South, of
fering them a welcome to a carnival of blood
such as shall forever establish the right of
Southern treason at any time to array itself
against the laws of the land and the legis
lation of the Government. What better
evidence need we have of traitors in our
midst, or what fairer confession of treason
need we now, than that in which the De
mocratic press of the North are daily in
dulging ? In Pennsylvania these confes
sions are flung into the face of sensible
and patriotic men every day. They are
daily made here at the Capital of our glo
rious and free old Commonwealth. They
are echoed by the doughfaces in the street,
until the strain is taken up by the Patri
ot and Union and stamped with a respect
ability which its editors in their assumed
digni-y and egotism imagine they bestow
on every subject they discuss. The Pa.
trice shrinks from no expression calculated
to insult the pride of Pennsylvanian or
encourage the prejudices of the South. In
Revolutionary days, when this State was
the scene of so much struggling, men were
confined as dangerous for sentiments less
obnoxious, but in these days of political
disappointments and desperation, we must
tolerate the utterance of any sentiment,
however humiliating it may be to the
character of the community, and the dig
nity and renown of the Commonwealth.
Let us, however, place these men—we
had almost written wretches—on the re
cord, so that hereafter when the freemen
of the North and of ' Pennsylvania have
come out of this great struggle, with the
truth vindicated and victory on their ban
ners, the people can then point the finger
of scorn at the traitors who are now la
boring for our disgrace and destruction.
The right is bound to triumph AP cure an
light prevails throughout the world, and
however long it may be postponed, the
fate of these traitors is as fixed as the
doom of the world.
Gov. Curtin's Inaugural---The Cab-
inet.
The Inaugural Address of the new
Governor has.been very favorably received
by the press of the country and the peo•
pie in general, all commend its conserve
tive, but firm tone—even our locofoco
neighbors are unable to find grievous
faults with the same. We annex a few
extracts from the city papers. The North
American says :
The tone of Gov. Curtin's message is, well
calculated to strengthen the bonds of Union •
loving men in the border States. Breathing as
it does throughout a spirit of fraternal kind
ness ; avowing a determined purpose to sanc
tion no invasion of any constitutional right
which belongs to any member of the confeder
cy ; earnest in its suggestions for the adjust
ment of all irritating controversies on fair and
honorable grounds ; and frank and manly in
its utterances, it must satisfy all, who are not
pre-determined not to be satisfied, that the
party which Gov. Curtin represents has been
grossly maligned iu its feelings, aims and ob
jects.
The Bulletin a neutral paper uses the
following language on the subject :
The address is remarkably moderate and con -
dilatory. It condems the secession movement,
but hopes it may be arrested without resorting
to extreme measures. I t expresses the devo
tion of Pennsylvania to the Union, but makes
no unseemly bluster about what she will do in
its defence, leaving that rather to be inferred
now, and expressed by energetic action if the
time should ever unhappily arrive when her
aid may be needed.
The Cabinet has also been duly in
stalled and gone to Mork in earnest. Col.
ELI Sr.a.F.En, a well known gentleman of
integrity and character, presides as Secre
tary of State, and SAMUEL B. THOMAS,
of Delaware county, has been appointed
Deputy Secretary. Mr. T. is favorably
known as a gentleman of integrity and
character, and we have no doubt will dis
charge his duties faithfully.
Hon. SAMUEL A. PIIRRIANCE has also
assumed the responsible duties of Attor
ney General. He is well known as one
of the most eminent Western lawyers
and peculiarly fitted for the' station to
which he has been elevated. The Gover
nor has been particularly cautious to select
men as his legal advisers in whom the
people have full omfidence, and we feel
sure that the Administration of Governor
Curtin will give general satisfaction. 'rhe
minor officers in the Secretary's office
have not been filled, but will be disposed
of in a day or two.
Letter from Mr. Killinger.
We publish below in full the well writ
ten and patriotic letter from our Congress.
man, Hon. JOHN W. KILLINGER. The
position taken by Mr. KILLINGER, we
have no doubt, will meet with—as his
general political course has done—the ap
probation of a large majority of his con
stituents. He will do anything but com
promise principle and honor to maintain
the Union in peace. But when all else
has failed, and bad men men persist in
their wicked efforts to destroy the Union,
he will stand firmly up for the preserva
tion of the Union and the enforcement of
the laws as the only means to save the
country from anarchy and ruin. We
commend the letter to the careful and
candid perusal of Mr. KILLINGER:S im
mediate constituents, and our readers
generally:—
WASHINGTON, January 8, 1861.
To the Eclttor of the Telegraph :
The second session of the thirty-sixth Con
gress has opened an eventful page in our coun
try's history. For the first time in that history
the disruption of the Federal Union, and the
overthrow of this Federal Government have
been deliberately attempted. The threats of
thirty years growth have ripened, and culmi
nated in overt acts. The fact is manifest that
we are now passing through the most perilous
crisis to which our political system has ever
been subjected. It is worse than idle to stop
to discuss theories of secession, and to thresh
over and over again the chaff of Constitutional
abstractions. What the public counsels, have
to do with, in the immediate present, s the
stubborn fact that the Federal Constitution—
the band of our Federal Union—has been re
pudiated, and the Federal Laws, passed in
pursuance thereof, have been defied, and an
appeal taken to the last resort, - that of armed
rebellion.
The question that confronts us, then, at this
moment, is one of overwhelming magnitude,
overshadowing all issues of partizanship, all
contest' for place, and all strife for plunder.—
It invdlves the very existence of the Govern
ment, and threatens the very foundations of
the Republic. Ail other questions dwarf into
insignificance beside it, and must await its so
lution.
This momentous issue is one to be regretted,
but not to be avoided. We may, and we do,
deplore it, but we must not the less resolve to
meet it with becoming firmness and patriotism.
It is not of our seeking, but in the last extrem
ity it must nevertheless be met, as our fathers
met the clash of resounding arms, in the days
that tried nien's souls, as in a furnace of con
suming fire I The Constitution, the Union,
and the Laws, are at once the bulwarks of our
security, the mainspring of our prosperity, and
the palladium of our liberties, and they cannot
be destroyed without convulsions so terrible
as to leave behind them disaster and utter des
olation. This government, of tlalrty-three
millions of people, with a history. of a century,
stretching from ocoan to ocean, and shaped by
the geography of a continent, is not a bubble
to be pricked, or a rope of sand to be rent in
twain. Its peaceable disruption is impossible.
If disrupted, it will be amid the storm of bat
tles, and with the whole heavens lurid with the
glare of its conflagration.
For thirty years and upwards, a conspiracy,
hardly concealed from public observation, has
existed in South Carolina, to destroy the gov
ernment. This mischievous purpose has of
late years assumed a more definite form, and
been strengthened by the conviction that po
litical power and material greatness were rap
idly centering in the free States and Territories.
The recent census returns, and the election of
Mr. Lincoln, have concentrated and intensified
the resentments and disappointments of south
em politicians, until, finally, the Southern
heart has been fired, and the Gulf States are
precipitated into actual revolution.
So far has this purpose progressed that it
has penetrated the national capital—it is heard
in open defiance upon the floor of Congress, and
holds within its grasp the sworn officers of the
Government. Those who have taken solemn
oaths to maintain the Constitution inviolate,
and to execute the Laws made in pursuance
thereof, have yielded to its syren songs of de
lusion, or been intimidated by its brazen as
surance and impudent menaces: It has filched
from the national treasury, beggared the fi
nances and paralyzed the industry of the coun
try. It has betrayed the property of the Fed
eral Government into the hands of traitors,
and has corrupted the fountains of public mor
ality and private virtue. In open rebellion in
some of the states, it has ititinerant commis
sioners in others and invites revolution in all
No later than last week it inflicted that most
ignoble stab upon our nationalpride of hauling
down our national ensign, and witnessed its
defilement beneath the feet of an infuriated pop
ulace in the streets of Charleston. This was a
feat which the enemies of American Institutions
hall never been able to accomplish, and it was
reserved for our countrymen to humiliate us in
the eyes of the civilized world, by dragging in
the mire and filth of mob violence the glorious
flag, whose stars had never paled in the face of
the foe, and whose stripes had never been un
furled except in honorable distinction.
We have to deal to-day with the same spirit
of insubordination which President Jackson
curbed by the exercise of his strong will and
the power of the Federal authority. The nul
lification heresy was in full development thirty
years ago, before slavery—then a matter of
purely local concern—became a part of our na
tional politics. Gen. Jackson then predicted
that thereafter the negro would serve as a pre
text for nullification, and the prediction has
become history. From that day to the prernt,
the Southern mind has been - occupied with
vain theories of Southern aggrandizement,
outside of a Union, which is really the . only pro
tection left in the wide world to its peculiar in
stitutions. The storm has burst upon us, and
must be met, not by partizan appeal or violent
denunciations, but in the stern resolve of pa
triotic duty. If we had a bond of fate that
the mischief would stop where its limits are
now defined, we might acquiesce with regret,
but without alarm. But we have no such se
curity. With the loss of a single stone, the
the arch tumbles to the ground. The with
drawal of a part destroys the cohesion -of all
that remains. The secession of one State is the
signal of a catastrophe which will leave scarce
two States in political affinity. The only thing
possible, short 'of anarchy, is, the Republic,
one and indivisible.
In the face of these things, true and undis
puted as I believe they must be admitted to
be, what is the first step to be taken that sug
gests itself to every patriotic citizen --what is
the first duty required of every representative
of the people? Plainly, to assert the dignity
of the Goverument—to vindicate the outraged
majesty of laws—to restore the data quo ante
bellum 1 No man's property—no man's life—
neither our institutions, nor our liberties are
secure, except as we maintain the Government
in its integrity and energy.
Indications t are multiplying around us that
the bow of promise will soon span the vault of
our political horizon. We are realizing daily
how strong the Federal Union really is—its
foundations are imbedded in the hearts and
affections of the American people, its honor
will be vindicated if need be by their strop
tight arm; and its Mare greatness and eta' • •
-I!
will be secured. The emergency is calling out
the qualities, and inspiring conduct, which
marks true statesmnnship. Firmness in re
pressing treason, and conciliation in harmsniz
ing with the patriotic elements of the country,
are both needed, and in equal degree. The
nullifiers are beyond the reach of immediate
redemption from the pit into which they have
rushed precipitately, but they can be awaken
ed and isolated by depriving them of their pre
texts for rebellion, and thus the b rder slave
States may be arrested before they take the
same fatal plunge of secession. The patriotism
of the free States may be relied upon to do jus
tice-3o all sections and to concede the constitu
tional rights of every State, and thereby the
Union loving men of the South will be strength
ened fox the conflict with the traitors in their
midst.
I came to Washington with the determina
tion to unite with patriotic and Union loving
men in the legislation which I might deem ne
cessary to sacure the constitutional rights of all
our fellow citizens and to adjust all grievances
in a fraternal spirit. If ever there was a time
in the history of our country when partizan
ship should be merged in patriotism, that time
is now. Fanaticism and Passion are unsafe
counsellors in this moment of the nation's tra
vail. As far as I know myself, I will, while
not forgetting my life-long devotion to princi
ples, endeavor to rise above considerations of
petty partizanship and meet the momentous
issues which are upon us with calmness, and
the dignity of statesmanship. My views of,
and my course upon, these issues will in good
season be spread before the generous people
whose representative I am here, and if I fail
to satisfy all of their correctnt ss, I will at least
appeal to all to judge me fairly and accord me
sincerity of purpose.
At this immediate juncture, I am called on
to deal with facts and events as they now con
front us. My mind is clear that no terms can
be made with traitors who have arms in their
hands, and are in the actual commission of
high crimes and misdemeanors. To allow the
Federal Government to be coerced into humi
liating concessions by confederated treason in
one or more States, is to admit the weakness of
our system of government, to invite anarchy,
and to plunge into confusion wol se confounded:
So grave an issue rises in majestic proportion
above all others that can be suggested. To
tamper with treason, to negotiate with traitors
is to encourage renewed threats and borrow
future trouble. We must stand by the consti
tutional authorities of the country, rebuke
treason and put down rebellion. And in the
spirit of concilliation which prompted the con
struction of our matchless form of government.
and which alone is upheld it hitherto in the af
fections and respect of the people, we may then
return to the adjustment of difficulties, the as
sertion of constitutional rights, and the correc
tion of the abuses which formed the subjects of
Federal legislation before the storm of treason
broke upon us.
Yours, J. W. KILLING=

MESSAHE FROM THE HOUSE
The Clerk of the House of Representatives
being introduced, informed that the House had
refused to concur in the amendments made by
the Senate to House bill, providing for the pur
chase of an American flag for the dome of the
Capitol.
The amendments of the Senate provided for
the raising. of a flag with the coat-of-arms of
the State upon the blue-ground, surrounded by
the stars of the Union.
The question before the Senate being
Will the Senate insist on its amendment?
Mr. YARDLY said: The object in this mat
ter, on the part of the House, seems to have
been to have two flags—one flag with the Arms
of the State of Pennsylvania upon it, and the
other the national flag. I hope the Senate will
insist upon-its amendments, by which one flag
will be secured, containing the coat-of-arms of
the State, surrounded by the stars of the Union,
which is certainly all the Senate desires to see
on the dome.
Mr. PENNEY. I have been informed that it
will be impossible to erect two flag-staffs upon
the dome of the Capitol. I move the reference
of the subject to a committee of Conference, in
order that the matter maybe fully investigated.
Agreed to; and
The Chair appointed Messrs. PENNEY, FIN
NEY and SHINDEL, said committee.
BILLS CONSEDERFID
Mr. BLOOD moved that the Senate proceed to
the consideration of Senate bill, No. 33, entitled
"an Act to change the name of Nancy Wil
kins," and to dispense with going into Com
mittee of the Whole.
Agreed to.
The Ist section being read,
Mr. PENNEY said. I took occasion ander the
instruction of the Judiciary Committee 'to ex
amine the bill in question. I found that in
1852, an act was passed authorizing the State
Treasurer to pay an annuity to Nancy Wilkins,
of Jefferson county,together with other widows
of old soldiers. lam informed by the Senator
from Jefferson, (Mr. BL000,) that the person in
tended to be benefitted by that act was Jane,
not Nancy, Wilkins ; and. that, therefore, no
part of the annuity, had ever been drawn for
the reason of the mistake thus made.
On motion of Mr. PEN Y, the title of the
bill was so amended as to read, "a Supplement
to a Act for the relief of Nancy Lord, Nancy
Wilkins and others."
The bill was then read a third time and passed
finally.
Mr. 'YARDLEY moved that the Committee
on Boads and Bridges be discharged from the
further consideration of Senate bill No. 37, en
titled "A supplement to An Act incorporating
the Spiunerstown and Goshenhoppen, and
Stinesburg and Milford Square turnpike road
companies," and that the Senate proceed to
consider the same.
Agreed to.
The Senate dispensed with going into Com
mittee of the Whole, and the bill was taken up
and having gone through its several readings,
was passed finally.
ORDEatil OF THE DAY
Senate bill No. 18, entitled "An Act relative
to Savings Fund and Loan-companies in Phila
delphia,"came up in order on third reading.
The rst section of the bill having bean read,
Mr. CONNELL submitted an amendment,
the substance of which he explained as follows:
On all sums of less than one hundred dollars,
these institutions are required to pay forthwith.
On all sums larger than that this bill is intended
to operate. lam authorized to state that on
the first of November last there was in these in
stitutions, in the city of Philadelphia, deposites
exceeding six million dollars in amount. They
have already paid out two million five hundred
thousand dollars, and they feel the pressure so
great that it is impossible for them to return
the deposits which they still hold without bring
ing suits on their mortgages, and, thereby pro
ducing generaldistress. I have not introduced this
bill to benefit these institutions, but to prevent
distress and great loss. •
The amendment proposed, extending the
time for the payment of interest, was unani
mously agreed to.
Mr. WELSH asked the unaninimons consent
of the Senate to incorporate an amendment to
the effect that the bill should not apply to any
deposits at present made in such institutions.
Mr. CONNELL objected to the amendment,
when it was withdrawn.
On the final passage of the bill,
The yeas and nays were required by Mr.
WELSH and Mr. CLYMER, and were as [fol
