TILE HORNING TELEGRAPH.
We are now circulating an edition of the

morning paper that is either published or vs

the latest telegraphic dispatches received in
this city up to twelve o'clock midnight, and

importance to the public.

• .Pitotermirtous pay to fight for their coun
try. What a contrast this is to the rebel cus
tom of forcing aliens, neutrals, and negroes
into •their ranks. Col. Ps/PER, of Cambria
county comes forward with a regiment, offering
the State a thousand dollars bonus if he and
his gallant companions are allowed to draw
their swords and pull their triggers in defence
of the Union. Who will dare to assert after
such devotion, that the people of the North are
cowards.
Tam thaamarATORIAL ASSIMBLAGE at Cleveland
on the 4th inst., was composed of the following
Executives : Governor Curtin, of Pennsylvania;
Governor Dennison, of Ohio ; Governor Rand
all, of Wisconsin ; Governor Blair, of Michigan;
Governor Morton, of Indiana; Ex-Governor
Kearney, of Illinois. The Cleveland papers
speak of this meeting as having created great
interest in that city. In the evening the peo
ple turned out to serenade the distinguished
visitors. The speech of Gov. Curtin, in re
sponse to the serenaders, is referred to .as hav
ing been ad eloquent and patriotic effort.
TROOPS FOR BALTIMORE.
.t The troops which left Carlisle yesterday un
der command of Major Taylor, will pass thro'
the State of Maryland by to-morrow, on their
way to Washington. They consist of old war
riors, who are determined to force their way
through ; and if they should be obstructed,
terrible work may be expected. They have all
the implements of war with them, and by long
experience in the Texas service, they will make
them tell wherever they meet with opposition.
TEO left Gettysburg this morning, taking a
direct route from thence through Maryland,
and will pass within four miles of Frederick.
NW no THEY NUN ? This question is fre
ittently asked by those who cannot compre
hend some of the movements of the Federal Ad
ministration, and because they cannot, are
anxious to doubt and reproach the patriotism
of those who are engaged in the defence of the
country. Those who are not in the confidence
of the Administration, and particularly those
who were accustomed to using the secrets of the
late cabinet for sensation purposes, are dread
fully puzzled now because they are entirely
shut out from all knowledge of the official
designs of the government. But it is not diffi
cult to understand the meaning of any of the
actions of the Administration, Mr. Lincoln
bad but one object in view from the hour be
was inaugurated. His first motive after taking
his solemn oath of office, was patriotic, because
from that moment the rescue of his country
from the foils of. treason became the object of
his Administration. Every plan, therefore, is
to achieve this purpose. Every military move
ment, every diplomatic position, and every Ex
ecutive appeal and warning aim at the safety
of the nation. They all ratan peace, if possible,
RUT WAR, IF THE NECESSITY Is romp on vas AD
SIEN/NERMION. This is what Abraham Lincoln
rg*is. The patriotic of the American people
understand his meaning, too, and are deter-
Mined to sustain him.
Canto, at the junction of the Ohio and Mis
sissippi rivers, is the most southerly point of
lies territory, and extends as it were into the
very bosom of the sleveholding States. It is
true that the States of Missouri and Kentucky,
so far, have not placed themselves in an atti
tude of hostility towards the General Govern
ment, but we may readily presume that where
Aire is any doubt , of the loyalty of a State,
the War Department will act upon that doubt
Al t slf 11 were a certainty, and take such mess-
Urea will resist any demonstration which
liteh States may hereafter make. The rail
roads of Illinois and adjoining States offersuch
figaitled for transportation as will make it an
easy matter to concentrate a large force and
any amount of Supplies which may be needed,
at Cairo ; and undoubtedly this point will be
made the hese of whatever operations may be
undertaken down the river. It issaid that the
secessionists have been well aware of the im
portance of this place, and at the last accounts
from that locality, it was believed that .they
sirteruted to send an expedition to take it. If
thiy had such an intention, they have delayed
it too long, for the force now collected there is
atteicient to defend it against any attack. Cai

GOVERNOR CURTIN.
We have neither been commissioned to plead
for, nor are we the special defenders of Andrew
G. Curtin. As a high toned and liberal gentle
man, his character will stand as severe a scru
tiny as that of any other citizen of Pennsylva
nia. His actions as a man are for himself to
shape, and for these he is responsible and able
to defend himself before any tribunal which his
assailants may see fit to create. As Governor
of a great Commonwealth, a' Commonwealth
wielding a mighty and a just influence in this
momentuous crisis, Andrew G. Curtin has a
right to expect the vindication and defence of
every impartial and independent journalist, par
ticularly when the honor and patriotism of the
State and people of Pennsylvania are sought to
be assailed and impugned through what may
seem, or is, and what is really not his official
duty. At the very beginning of this great
trouble the State of Pennsylvania was looked
to with confident reliance by the Federal Gov
ernment. Our great resources, the extent and
intelligence of our population, with our geo
graphical location, made the State a lever of
immense strength, and broughts its people at
once prominently before the friends and the
foes of the Union. In the midst of this promi
nence, surrounded by these resources of wealth
and numbers and strength of population, the
position of the Governor assumed new import
ance, enlarged duties and materially increased
responsibility. It was an easy business to
point to the fact that Pennsylvania had. the
means of aiding the General Government—a
slight task to recount her advantages and boast
of her strength—but the fact that all these ele
ments and resources of means and men were
scattered and disorganized, never occurred to
those who were constantly crying for moan-
NNW, while those who were anxious to indulge
in defamation, or emulous to whet their ma•
lignity and satisfy their revenge, were too igno
' rant of the facts, and too lazy to inquire into
the merits of the subject they now assume so
profoundly to discuss.
It is a well known fact that just at the period
when the treason of the south burst upon the
people of the whole country, with such an as
tounding and startling • effect, the military or
ganization of the free states, and particularly
that of Pennsylvania, was in the very worst
possible condition. The spirit of oar institu
tions was opposed to the cultivation of any of
the means either of defensive or aggressive
warfare. Long years of peace, devotion to the
pursuits of industry, and that high order of
manhood which is reached by education and re
finement, infused among the people of the
north that confidence in the Government which
is begat by a consciousness of obeying its
laws and respecting its constitutional law
givers. In the midst of this repose in the
north, and while the people here were prepar
ing for long years of peace and prosperity, a
most diabolical and desperate conspiracy was
hatching at the south, the purpose of which
was to subvert the government, destroy its
sanctity and power and erect in its stead an
oligarchy of aristocracy and tyranny. To ac
complish this, the traitors were constantly at
work for the last three years, while the actual
design of the entire movement originated thirty
years before. To counteract these movements
the loyal states have only had a few brief
months, and in that time they have succeeded'
in organizing armies from raw recruits, pro
tecting an extended coast by a vigorous 'block
ade with insignificant fleets, and erecting bar
riers between the national safety and danger,
which the traitors will never attempt to slur_
mount. In two months the conspiracy of thirty
years growth has been shorn of its strength and
arrested in its progress. The part which Penn
sylvania, through her Governor has taken in
this business, may be seen in the fact, that
since the 18th of April, fifteen regiments have
been raised,organized and officered,and are now
ready almost to obey the summons to the bat
tle field. Military men will appreciate the
magnitude of this work when it is known of
what material these regiments were composed.
No one will deny that this was the work of
the Governor, because he is almost left without
official military co-operation and council.—
And yet in less than a month, with the legisla
ture adjourned, he gathered this immense
strength around him, summoned almost with
out authority the most experienced soldiers to
his aid, organized encampments, prepared for
the provisioning and clothing of this force, and
with the thousand and innumerable details at
tached to such an undertaking, placed this
army at the immediate disposal of the general
government. With their movements hence to
the contemplated scene of action, Gov. Curtin
has no controL It was sufficient for him to sum
mon his fellow citizens to the field to answer
the call of the general government. That work
has been accomplished, even while his assail
ants were yet engaged in their infuriated work
of detraction and falsehood.
In this rather lengthy artful e, it was not our
intention to reply to the personal slanders of•
those who have been crawling around the
capital and the state department, watching for
an opportunity to levy "black mail." The re
sentment of snob men is of more value to an
honest and patriotic executive than their praise
and support. Their assaults are the evidence
of being rebuffed in the very quarter they as
sail; and fortunate indeed will be the executive
who escapes the growling of such cormorants.
Gov. Curtin himself has neither time orinclina
tion to turn from his official duties to notice
his traducers. His consciousness of having
done his duty, and the certainty that he is con
tributing to the safety and protection of this
glorious Union, places him beyond the slanders
of the corrupt or the contumely of the envious.
His is a work that can withstand all kinds of
opposition, and such men can afford to
be assailed while engaged in the service of their
whole country.

The Secretary of State, William H. Seward,
in his instructions to the Minister to the French
Court, William L. Dayton, is very explicit on
the subject of the relations of this government
towards the rebels of the south. We give the
concluding portion of his letter:
The path of executive duty has thus far been
too plainly marked out by stern necessities to
be mistaken, while the solemnity of the great
emergency, and the responsibility it devolves,
have extinguished in the public councils every
emotion but those of loyalty and patriotism.
It is not in the hands of this administration
that this government is to come to an end at
all, much less for the want of harmony or in
devotion to the country. M. Thonvenel's dec
laration that the United States may rest well
assured that no hasty or precipitate action will
be taken on the subject of the apprehended
application of the insurrectionists for a recog
nition of the independence of the so-called con
federate states, is entirely satisfactorily, altho'
it was attended by a reservation of views con
cerning general principles applicable to a cause
that need not now be discussed. In the unof
tidal conversation, Mr. Faulkner says that he
himself expressed the opinion that force would
not be resorted to, to coerce the so-called seced
ing states into submission to the federal author
ity, and that the only solution of thedifficulties
would be found in such modifications of the
constitutional compact as would invite the Bei,
ceding states back into the Union, or a peacea
ble acquiescence in the assertion of their claim
to a separate sovereignty. The time when
these questions had pertinency or plausibility
has passed away. The United States waited
patiently, while their authority was defied in
turbulent assemblies and in seditious prepara
tions, willing to hope that the mediation offer
ed on all aides would conciliate and induce the
disaffected parties to return to a better mind.
But the case is now altogether changed. The
Insurgents have instituted a revolution, with
open, flagrant, and deadly war, to compel the
United States to acquiesce in the dismember
ment of the Union. The United States have
accepted this civil war as an inevitable neces
sity. The constitutional remedies for all the
complaints of the insurgents are still open
to them, and will remain so; but on the other
hand, the land and naval forces of the Union
have been put into activity to restore the fed
eral authority, and to save the Union from
danger.
You cannot be too decided or teo explicit in
making known to the French government that
there is not now, nor has there been, nor will
there be, any or the least idea existing in this
government of suffering a dissolution of this
Union to take place in any way whatever.
There will be here only one nation and one
government, and there will be the same repub
lic and the same Constitution that has already
survived a dozen national changes, and changes
of government in almost every other country,
and these will stand hereafter, as, they are now,
objects of human wonder and human affection.
You have seen on the eve of your departure
the elasticity of the national spirit, the vigor
of the national government, and the lavish de
votion of the national treasury to the great
cause. Tell M. Thonvenel, then, with the
highest consideration and good feeling, that a
thought of the dissolution of this Union, peace
ably or by force, has never entered into the
mind of any candid statesman here; and it is
high time that it be dismissed by statesman in
Earope.

AN IMPORTANT MOVE IN THE MGM
QUARTER.
Mr. BALL, of Erie, offered the following im
portant bill yesterday afternoon, which was re
ferred to the Judiciary Committee, vie :
AN ACT relative to James M. Mason, now
or lately a Senator of the United States.
Wes, It is alleged that James M. Mason,
a Senator of the United States, has lately been,
and is now, adhering to the enemies of the
United States and of this Commonwealth, giv
ing them aid and comfort ; having been thus
guilty . of treason against the United States of
America and the Commonwealth of Pennsyl
vania, and having incurred the pains and pen
ernes of treason ; and,
Whereas, It is alleged that the said James,
in right of his wife and otherwise, is seized
and possessed of large real and personal estates
in the city of Philadelphia, the county of
Beaver and elsewhere in this Commonwealth,
which it may hereafter be thought proper to
deal with as estates forfeited to this Common
wealth, for treason, as aforesaid. Therefore,
Smarm 1. Be 4 enacted, Bfc., That the Speaker
of this House appoint a Committee of three
members thereof to examine into the facts al
leged, as above set forth, and for that purpose
to hear the said James M. Mason; or any of
his relatives or other persona, and to report
hereafter to the Legislature such facts in regard
to the property of the said James, its character,
situation, value and so forth, as the said Com
mittee may deem proper and required by the
circumstances, and until said Committee shall
make report, no conveyance or other transfer of
said property shall be acknowledged before, or
admitted to record -- by, any officer of this Com
monwealth.

VETO MIZISAGE OT TEE GOVlENoll.—sours STREET
1;) 1 . , :e): , I9i - i:*_y:..s,•):•001..tv 014
Mr. CONNELL moved to proceed to the con
sideration of the veto message of the Governor
on the bill relative to the erection of a free
bridge over the Schuylkill at South street, in
the city of Philadelphia.
The motion was agreed to.
The message of the Governor vetoing the bill
was read.
Mr. CONN - ELL. I desire to say a few words
in explanation of the bill. In regard to the
public sentiment of which the governor speaks,
that in the absence of knowledge to the con
trary, it is but fair to presume that a very small
portion of the people proposed to be taxed are
in favor of the measure. I have to say that
there was a remonstrance presented here,
signed by sixteen gentlemen, showing their
opposition to this measure. But they were in
error in supposing that the Councils were re
quired to build a close bridge. It is left dis
cretionary with Councils' whether the bridge be
a close or a draw bridge.
The delegation from Philadelphia, Mr. Speak
er, are nuanimously in favor of the measure.
Furthermore, in answer to the Governor, I. will
state that the language of the act is oopied
precisely from the bill paned in 18452, and ap-

E 1332!
proved by Governor Bigler, authorizing the
erection of a bridge at Chestnut street on the
river Schuylkill, which has never yet been ac
complished, as also the erection of a bridge at
Girard Avenue. This bill was presented to our
City Solicitor, Mr. Lee, and met his approba
tion, and I have no hesitation in saying is ap
proved by nine-tenths of the people of Phila
delphia. The Governor acknowledges that he
has net had the opportunity to examine this
bill, and falls into a great mistake when he says
that the bill is of very considerable importance
in its bearings upon the interests of that class
of persons "whose capital has been invested in
bridges upon the same stream under previous
charters of incorporation authorizing the charg
ing and collection of tolls." Now there are no
such bridges there; our bridges over the Schuyl
kill river are all free bridges. For myself, I
have had time to examine the bill, and have
spent some years in a consideration of the sub
ject. I have no doubt that had the Executive
understood all the provisions of the bill, he
would not have withheld his signature.
Mr. FINNEY. I desire to ask the Senator
from Philadelphia a question,
whether he does
I not already provide sufficient authority in the
Executive and Legislative departments thereof,
for the government and control of the streets
and highways of that city.
Mr. CONNELL. In answer to the Senator
from Crawford I would state that such may be
I the case, but it is not the opinion of our Coun
cils. The question of building this bridge has
been agitated in Philadelphia for the last ten
years, and It has been held that we have no
power to erect a bridge without authority from
the Legislature. The want of an Act of this
I kind has been felt ; and we shall never have
such a bridge erected without action on the
measure being taken by this body.
On the question,
Shall the bill pass notwithstanding the ob
jections of the Governor?
Agreeably to the provisions of the Constitu
tion the yeas and nays were required and were
as follow, viz :
Yiss.—Messra Blood, Boughter, Boned,
Connell, Crawford, Fuller, Hamilton, Hiestand,
Imbrie, Irish, Ketcham, Landon, Lawrence,
M'Clure, Mott, Nichols, Parker, Penney, Rob..
inson, Schindel, Benin, Thompson Wharton,
Yardley and Hall. Speeker-25.
Nats--Iliessrs. Clymer,Finney, Gregg, Pal
mer, Smith and Welsh—
So the bill passed notwithstanding the veto
of the Oovernor,
Mr. M'CLURE, (when his naive was called,)
said : I vote for this bill simply because it is
demanded by the Senators from Philadelphia.
I think that the Governor acted very wisely in
returning a bill, involving as this does, the ex
penditure of a quarter of a million of dollars
by the city of Philadelphia.
If after the change of circumstances which
has transpired since the bill previously passed,
the Senators from Philadelphia desire it for
their constituency, I am perfectly willing that
they should have it. I vote "aye."
Mr. BLOOD (when his name was called) said:
I vote for the bill because the Senator from
Philadelphia (Mr. M'Cosainx.) wants it. I vote
&g ave :,
air. SMITH. I shall vote against this bill.
I voted for it before because I believed it to be
the peculiar duty of the Councils to take charge
of measures of this kind. I know that they
have authority to do so whenever the expendit
ure is justified on their part. I will say furth
er, that the message, so far as it applies to this
particular bill, meets my approbation; and I
think if the Governor had only changed the
name and writtea the same message in regard
to the Broad street railroad bill, it would have
been entirely applicable.
The result was then announced as before sta
ted.
Mr. IRISH moved to adjourn.
On the motion,
The yeas and nays were required by Mr.
SMITH and Mr. FULLER, and were as follow,
viz:
Yuas—Messrs. Benson, Blood, Boughter,
Bound, Crawford, Finney, Gregg, Hamilton,
Irish, Imbrie, Mott,Penney, Robinson, Schindel,
