THE GOVERNOR'S MESSAGE.
We intend to print a large number of extras
containing the message of the Governor, and
will be able to furnish our cotemporaries of the
rural press with any number, printed with the
title of their own newspaper, if the orders are
sent into this office before Monday evening
next. Those of our cotemporaries who desire
such extras will take notice accordingly.
ARE WE SOLEMNLY IN EARNEST?
While pondering the stupendous work in
which, this government is engaged for its self
preservation, and contemplating the effect it
has already had on the business, the society,
the political and domestic relations of the loyal
states, we are reluctantly led to confess that.
there is too.much levity attending the people in
their 'connection with the efforts to crush the
rebellion, and too much negligence, if not utter
indifference among those who have the matter
officially in charge. We do notmean by this that
the government is neglecting its work—we do
not insinuate that there is lack of discipline in
the ranks of the army or euthusiasm in the
crews of the navy—what we mean is, that we
are not sufficiently impressed with the solem
nity of our condition as a nation, and the
portentious danger of our position as a peo
ple. We have the ardor without the reflec
tiopt the impulse without the discretion, so es
sentially necessary to success. Because there
has been necessary delay, it is not to be claimed
that there has also been necessary caution used
in all the organization and operations of the
government to crush the rebellion. There has
not been infused into the army that apprecia
tion' of the extent of the labor it is expected that
army must perform, which men should entertain
who possess a full knowledge of the responsi
bility they have assumed. If this were so, as a
nation, our action would be marked by more
solemnity, the solemnity due to the danger by
which we are surrounded, as well as the solem
nity necessary to an invocation of Divine in
teiposition in our behalf, without which there
can be no success, however, invincible our valor,
impregnable our positions, and unequalled our
force . in numbers. To read the accounts from
Washington and observe the proceedings in our
own midst, a plain man would suppose that
this struggle was inaugurated merely for the
diaplay of individual ability, personal ambition
orielect pleasure. Nero was not more desper
ately jovial or convivial when he scraped cat
gut at the conflagration of Rome, than are
some of our officials at this day, though
to-, the ' masses they would make the
impression that their labors are Herculean in
efforts to contribute to the success of the Union.
They strut before the world in blue cloth, gold
lace and brass buttons—they are assiduous in
the. etiquette of the toast, prompt in libation,
unektailed in gormandising,— and all this
while the, country is bleeding at a thousand
woundlP--iithile ..the muscles of industry are
withering, while the hopes of enterprise are
paling, and the destinies of a nation becoming
more uncertain day by day. This is wrong—
greviously, terribly, monstrously if not insane
ly wrong. It is a levity and an indifference
which would disgrace the humblest man in the
land if he practiced them while in the pursuit
of the most insignificant object. God must
eventually dispise a people who are so dull to
the magnitude of the work they have underta
kaa—who are so prone to debauch and pleasure
1 49 . 1 k the heaven born boon of liberty is in
danger, and who, like Nero, fiddle and dance,
eat, drink and are merry, while the fire of
treason lights the very portals of the capital,
and the' clamors of rebellion, are heard in ai
n't/tit half of our territorial possessions.
la time that we exhibited as well as prao
tkied' the solemnity which should invest our
cause. No nation ever stood in a position of
such embarrassment, no people 'watt .ever Bur

the battle of liberty—that liberty which

ing that man may own the soil which God
bequdethed to him, and which he is expected to
enrich with the sweat of his labor. We are
fighting for free speech and a free preen. In
such a contest, there must be no levity mixed
with its campaigns—no immorality mingled
with its responsibility—no dissipation to dis
grace its votaries—no revelry to degrade its
victories. If these are not omitted and banish
ed, God will not bless our efforts or crown our
banners. If our cause is not worthy of a sin
cere and respectful solemnity, it is not worthy
a vigorous effort—and, without affecting a per
sonal excellence either in morality or religion,
we nevertheless sincerely believe that our vic
tories will be postponed until our vices are pu
rified =dour virtue established by our own
solemn practices.
TRENCHANT AND TRUTHFUL.,
In this community, perhaps it is needless to
quote from the columns of a high toned and
independent journal, the estimate in which the
old Breckinride organ in this city is held abroad,
but a late number of the Germantown Telegraph
contains such a truthful and trenchant expose
of the quality and tendency of the treason
preached by the Patriot and Union, that it would
be a public wrong to hold the article from the
public of the state capital. The Germantown
Telegraph remarks that it noticed with much
regret, in a late number of the Harriablirg
Patriot and Union, an editorial headed, "Whither
are we Drifting," which, in its judgment, has
an influence only for evil. It is calculated to
weaken the government in its efforts to put
down the powerful rebellion aimed at its over
throw and destruction ; while at the same time
the article must, in a similar degree, strengthen
the hands of the enemy. We have noticed
moreover for some time, not without pain, a
carping disposition on the part of our cotem
porary against the measures of the government,
without stopping to consider the wisdom of the
measures, and especially the imperative neces
sity for their adoption. It seems to gauge every
step taken to suppress the rebellion, and to re
store the operation of the Constitution and laws
where they are now wholly contemned or parti
ally inoperative, with square and compass; and
where every movement does not accord with
the mathematical exactness, scored out by our
cotemporary, it forwith indulges in a dirge for
the liberties ruthlessly trampled upon by the
government of the nation. It seems, indeed, to
be untiring in its watchfuldess for the objects
as food for the exercise of its hostility, and
little escapes its argue eyes but what is made
the subject of unfriendly comment.
While the Patriot and Union is a good news
paper, and in many respects well-conducted, it
could exercise, by resolutely and energetically
maintaining the title which it bears, in our
struggle for National existence, a valuable in
fluence. But, however much it may be denied,
it chooses to pursue a different course, and in
steed of strengthening the hands of Government
and encouraging the soldier offering his life as
a eacritloe for the 'Union *and the Constitution,
its columns tend to paralyse both. "Drifting
from the Landmarks," however ingeniously
coachei, or plausibly expressed, defend' it as
you please, can have bat one tendency at this
time—and that is, as we have before said, for
evil.
The Patriot and Union Is one of the thin-skin
ned journals of the State, which would indig
nantly resent the charge that it sympathises
with the gigantic treason now rampant in our
land; and would probably invoke the protec
tion of the law to disabuse itself of the base li
bel and punish the utterer ; yet we have not in
our mind at this moment a single hearty, whole.
souled editorial denunciation by it of the treason
and the traitors who have brought upon us
this cruel and fiendish internecine strife, drench-
ing the land with blood, and involving the
country in an almost unextinguishable debt.
Whenever it does say anything, it has no thun
derbolts for the rebel enemies of our peace and
institutions, coming from the depths of its
heart ;no fervency which can proceed only
from sincerity of purpose ; no sweeping con
demnation which would carry conviction of
sincerity—only mincing terms of regret at the
mistake the rebels have made—of the folly of
their attempt to secede from the Union—of the
misfortunes that must overtake them, &c. &c. ;
generally winding up with a side-lick at the
Government of the Union. Much of its editorial
matter is made up froni "fishy" papers like the
New York Journal of Commerce, from which its
tone Is copied. If the Patriot and Union calls
this evidence of its claim to the name it bears,
we trust it will never find ns one of its desciples.
The truth appears to be, that our cotemporary
would rather see the Union fall, than that the
rebellion should be put down in any other way
than by the square and compass process which
it so persistently prescribes.
—We ask the candid men of Harrisburg
frankly to declare, how far, in their opinion,
the independent editor of the Germantown Tele
grapkis wrong inthe above estimate of our neigh
bor. And we ask them to remember, too, while
they are pondering the justice of the article
above, that the writer is a partizan of the loco
foco school, yet a gentleman and a citizen above
reproach, both in his political and personal rela
tions.
WHAT IS TO BE DONE.
From the lull in the activity and rumors in
connection with the army, so oppressive for the
last six weeks, we now have the conjecture
coupled with an assurance, that the armies of
the Republic will all be in motion before the
middle of January, a very small increase of
those ambiguous "ten days," that so aroused
the anticipation, fear and hopes of the Ameri
can people from May to November of the last
year. But all this conjecture and anticipation
are to give way to actual facts-2-to the stern and
bloody facts of battle and victory for the Union,
if we are to believe the correspondents from
Washington, who profess to write at the dicta
tion of the highest authority. We are actually
to have a movement—not of a brigade or a di
yision only—or of a single army—hut of allow
forces, on the land and the sea, acting and fight
ing in concert, and assailing at one time, but from
different directions, every . vulnerable point in
possession of the rebelsattackhigtheir forces
7herever they can be found and whenever they
willstand for battle. This is all very wing
, &out, all;iniyigood, and MI yierpooldble, Itut
will it be accomplished? We have the men `-in
the field, the wood and iron afloat, bearing the
gallant tars ready for any action ; but these
forces cannot direct themselves. The lack
seems to be in the leading. The deficiency, if
we dare call it such, is not with the men, but in
a man —wr, WANT A LEADER. Such a man is in
the army—his heart is swelling with love for
the Union—his hand is steady for the blow--
and for aught we know, he may be carrying a
musket.
If the report of an advance is correct, we will
discover the most important fact of the rebel
lion, viz : Whether we are as prolific in leaders
as we are in soldiers. Never before has such
an army been recruited and organized ; no'army
has ever contained in its ranks men of such va
tied ability, genius, knowledge and experience.
Under the control of a leader, we should imagine
such an army capable of any achievement. And
therefore, the rumor of its movement will re
awaken our hopes, and stimulate our paticiptk
tion in regard to its encounters.

Gro. Blume Esq. :-I :observe from your,
valuable journal that the Chairman of the State
Central Committee has convened that body for
the purpose of fixing the time and place of meet
ing of the next State Convention. All these
matters are of minor importance, but the can
didate to be selected for Auditor General and
Surveyor General are of the utmost impor
tance, particularly that of Auditor General,
and I am sure no better selection could be made
than by renominating the present incumbent,
Hon. Taos. E. COCHRAN. He has filled that
post during the past two years with 'honor to
himself and great benefit to the State. The
duties are of great responsibility, and they have
never been so promptly performed- by an of
his predecessors. The numerous military
amounts settled during the past summer have
been thoroughly and honestly scrutinized, and
these duties have been very laborious. The in
terests of the State itself, and those who have ac
counts with the same require that Mr. Coon.
RAN should receive a unanimous nomination for
Auditor General. A lizAvv Tax PATER.
