Govsarroa,Cracrls returned from Washington
last :evening, where he was detained by the
Federal Administration, to assist in counseling
and
. esparing to meet the emergencies of the
crisi So far as the personal efforts of the Es
ecutive:are concerned, he, is, deserving of great
credit -for the intmni3r in' which he has been
urging'forward every arrangement cilculated
to bring this rebellion to a speedy termination.
In his official capacity, Governor. Curtin was
WWl* the first who urged upon the Legisla
ture of his State the necessity of some prompt
action for the support of the Federal Govern
ment. He not only urged the action, but sug
gested and pressed on their consideration the
means by which such a support could best be ac
compliihed. The Legislature, confiding in the
ability and patriotism of the Governrr, endorsed
his suggestion by providing the means, so that
Pennsylvania is now preparing and will soon
be ready to meet her enemies in the field. For
the Upion she has pledged her wealth, her
resources and her credit. To maintain that
Union, she will offer her life when the tinie
comes !
Speaker of the Senate.
Hon. B. Emma, who has presided'as the
Speaker of the Senate with so much ability du
ring the.session about to dose, will resign that
responsible position to-morrow morning.
Speaker PAMIR will doubtless leave the Senate
with regret, because he had won so much of the
confidence and respect of tbe entire body as to
make his official connection one bound up in
the strongest ties,of personal friendship;. and
while-every one will regret the necessity of the
resignation, his immediate constituents and the
people of the State will lose, from one sphere of
duty,
,one of -their most faithful able ser
vants,. Speaker PALM= is to go hence to serve .
the Federal Government as a diplomatic repro
sontatiVe near A foreign court, in which capac
ity he will as: faithfully discharge his duty to
his Geverumeut as he has in all the former po
sitionate has heretofore occupied.
The *publicans of the Senate, last evening,
indicated Lows W. Han, by a unanimous
votemkethosucceesor of Mr. Parana. Mr. HALL
is from the Blair district; and although a
young man, he is regarded as one of the most
reliable and ..efficient members of the Senate.
We congratulate him on the compliment of his
choice from. among, the veterans of the Repub

Dauphin County Responds to the
Union
We publish on our first page, this afternoon,
the proCeediogs of a very large and enthusias
tic meeting of the people of Dauphin county,
called to give expression to their views on the
crisis, and offer such nid and support to the
Hationed Government as were in their rodwer..
It will be- noticed that the proceedings were
characterized by the unanimity and deliberation
becoming , the occasion and objects, and that
from these we can judge the unmistakable loy
alty and•patriotism of the people of Dauphin
county. Among the speakers were Hon. W. H.
Welsh; of York county, and Hon. Armstrong,
from tycoming county, both members of the
Legisititarg and our eloquent friend and neigh
bor, R. A Lamberton. The - resolutions, which
breathe the right spirit and seek the inculcation
of the , proOr doctrine, were offered by the
editor Of - thelentineZ, Mr. Sipes.
With his usual practical good sense and gen
erosity A. Boyd Hamilton suggested the neces
sity of providing for the families that migg be
left unprotected by theenlisttnent of their natur
al supporters, by moving , the appeintment of a
Committee to solicit subscriptions for that pur
pose. He endorsed his own proposition by sub
srribing at once $5O, and was followed by Geo.
Bergner in a like sum. The Committee ap
pointed to' collect such money, should be kind
ly and generously sustained by the people of
this city and county.

What is our Duty?
When the first gun was fired at Lexington,
by the hireling soldiery of a titled tyrant, our
fathers did not organize themselves into oppo
site parties, for the, purpose of discussing the
merits of the cause. They did not propose
false questions of humanity or impracticable
issues or policies. They rallied at once to
the standard of the Stars and Stripes, and
around that banner they swore to maintain the
government against which the Revolutionary
War was waged. They swore to maintain the
government of their own creation, which was
thus ruthlessly assailed, because it sought the
establishment of free institutions by the equal
ization of men—their interest, their labor,their
influence and their power for self-government.
The small revenue derived from the American
Colonies was of smaller importsUice in the esti
mation of the British aristocracy, compared to
the prestige of their self-anointed power. It
was for the vindieifithof such power that Xing
George precipitated his troops upon our shores, I
and swore to deluge the land with the blood of
his subjects. The present attempt of the trai
tors at the South bearen strong resemblance,
to the efforts of the British aristocracy to
mould and use the people of the American co
lonies for their own purposes, and therefore the
duty which our fathers discharged in the Itevo
lution becomes incumbent now on us, during
the threatening of the present rebellion by an
aristocracy as insolent an 4 as overbearing as
that which has borne England down under a
load of debt, and made her laboring masses
the mere toys and instruments of their will and
pleasure. We must support the Government
in all things tending to the success of its own,
vindication, and we must give it the confidence
and the obedience which are its due in the
hour of peril If any man hesitates to do so,
he is not of those who are loyal, and can only
be regarded as a traitor. If any man fails to
see in the movements of the traitors at the
South, a Conspiracy to change the form and
..
principle of free government, he is blind to his
own interests, unworthy of his citizenship and
should not be trusted. The case is too plain
and the facts too apparent and starling to be
misapprehended, and therefere the - duty of
every man is clearly set before him, and he can
as clearly manifest his willingness 'in its dis
charge.
The restoration of the peace of this Union
can only be accomplished by, the most com
plete and confirmed enforcement of the law.
To do so on any other principle—to readjust
and reconstruct without asserting the power of
a fixed nationality, would bolo bind these
States together with a rope of sand, and leave
the administration of their affairs to the pre
eumptive =promises of every prowling political
demagogue and mountebank in the land. In,
its efforts to vindicate the laws, and to Stay the
progress of rebellion, the Administration is
only attempting to assert this nationality. They,
are only attempting to protect the lives and
property of thepeople Against the aggressions
of rebellion when they seek the enforcement of
the law. These two deiflarations constitute ac
tually the policy of the 'Adrainistration—and
in the enforcement;of . the law for the proteo
tion of the public property, the people are
called on to defend their Position and sustain
their acts. He who declares the government'
incapable of enforcing its own ,laws, is not
loyal to that govremnent. He who refuses to
aid the government in the enforcement of its
laws, Is a traitor, and can often . no =ape for
his treason.
Tan PATRIOT AND UNION improves under the
strong doses solid good! sense' which Wiles
been compelled to swallotv for the last week.
We have some hope now that in the future it
will pay more attention to the cultivation-of
patriotism, endless to party drill and the hope
of party success. But one more improvementis
necessary to render the.i.Palsiot as correct in
feeling as it is suggestive in • name, and when
its editors can properly estimate the real issues
of this contest, forced on the people of the free
States by the slave power, they arill see and
understand that the.merit of the. struggle is
against the influence of slavery, and that the
broad plain issue, is , presented' as to whether
freedom or _slavery shall control in the "councils
and the cabinete of this Government. This is
the, plain and , the practical beginning , of this
contest. It is not whether amere -Republican
organization:shall ,prevall in the Government—
nor ig,it.to be the advancement of the Demo-
Oratic party. What.the:South have .been-bat
tlingfor during the past—what they are pre
paring to contend i',or in the future, is SIJAVERT
—Slavery lathe abstract, in principle'and in
practice. They Aspre boldly...told us so in the
'charter of their, declared rights,., They have
ordered proclamation of this fact, ,by making
the :qualification of a State r before entering in
to their unholy. cabals, , the recognition of
slavery--while the, object of their , faith and
admiration, is the black limes of . slavery,
before which they have sworn to bend the,
knees of every free white man in thii Union, or
cast the fragments of a dislocated and broken
Union as a 'sacrifice at its base. On this point
the Patriot and 'Union made the issue' when it
Joined the Southern wing of the Democratic ,
party, in its assaults on that. Rorthern breth
ren. The passion which the party at
Charleston, and sent its angry factions forth
into the States that are now arrayed In hostile
attitudes against each other, was entirely made
up of ,slavery exaction, was aroused to enforce
slavery dogmas, and was in.siated on to make
the Democratic party the mere machinery of
slavery propagandism. In that issue the Patriot
and Union was for slavery. In. that: issue the
Patriot and Union teemed with ltte most shame : .

As now plainly understood among all its friends,

Elora of the prestige accorded to it by such nor
thern advocates as the Patriot and Union, and
therefore, it would be folly for the people of
the free States to engage in a conflict which
had not for its end some object of this descrip
tion; because as long as slavery exists uncnrbed
and unrebuked, and as long as dough-faceism of
the Patriot and Union qriality is' cultivated. to
flatter the assurance' and pander to the exac
tions of slavery,,the advocates of that iostitu
tion will hold their obligatiops te,the Union as
light as a gamester's oath, 'while 'the Union
itself will become as worthless as a gamester's
bond. No doubt the Patribt would: be iilling
to accept, as a basis of reconstruction, that part
of the Constitution of the Confederate States,
which declares that slavery is a humane and a
'divine institution, organized for the promotion.
of man's welfare and society's strerigtti; and
thus carrying out the inference , from its own
doctrines of slavery, (made its own by its un :
accountable anxiety for the' institution,) the
Patriot and Union would eventually , organize all
labor by, making the laborer a .marketable arti
cle, to be bought and sold like sheep in the
shlstrables.• •
But let the Patriot be answered with regard
to the Objects of this struggle: , - . lt is certainly-
to defend. the Union It :IA 18 defend:and...re-
store that
.Unian, by punishing and, : Crushing
the authors and the cause of its disturbance
and separation. This can only be done by re
straining the insolence of the advocates of sla
very„ at South, and rebuking their allies and
supporters at, the: North. And• if we are to
judge by the success iith which rebuke is
being'applied in' the North; the lestraint will
be, positive and effectual in the South, when
the force of the Government is fully brought
to bear against the traitors in that region.
Youxo Km who are anxious to obtain posi
tions in the'Army and Navy through appoint
ment, to fill vacancies created, by the resigna
tion of southern secessionists, have a fine ;op
portunity' of doing so by placing themselves in
the ranks in response to the appeals of Gov
