PEAWSZLVAND. AND' NEW YORIC.
We have no disposition wilfully to deprive
any of the loyal elates of a full share of the
credit they deserve, for contributing - so lib

and preeetvation of the national government.

Mirethe success of the general
,struggle to put
down ,the rebellion ; brit when one of these
commonwealths thus battling, - outstrips all the ,
rest both in the numbers contributed to the
army, and the success with which its
finances ate managed, 'instead of exciting the
envy of the other states, it should "
stimulate
their zeal and arouse an emulation to similar
efforts. But this is not the spirit in which
the New York Tribune regards the rivalry and
the enthusiasm of the loyal states. Not only .
the Tribune, but all the newspaper forces Of the
Empire state have been so accustomed to ap
propriating to themselves an exclusive and a
peculiar power, that most people, at home and
believe,.that"N
abtoad, actually , , , OW York s
the center of the Americ an 'Onion,as . Paris is
France; andlbat when any of the Peter Funks
in Gotham 'took snuff, the nasal organs of
every loan, woman and child in the Republic
must necessarily become affected. , As long as
this conceit • could be indulged in its harmless
vanity during the halcyon days of peace, the
people of the' other great comuionwealths, and
the sturdy population of Pennsylvania, partic
ularly, were willing to patronize the Knicker
bockers. But when the nation was surprised by
the development of tr eason; and states were
summoned to put forth their strength in aid of ,
the national government, boasting ceased to be
marketable, and idle bravado. sunk into titter
insignificance. The real resources of each state
were then put to, the teat. Those who bad
boasted so long, and for so many years occu
pied the position of the empite among what
they esteemed as a collection of petty states,
were Sturninotied to move the title to all their
daLTuil.. The nation demanded men, not bra
vado ;. and when our armies began'to march to
the defence of the capital; the figures substan
tiated :what words and declarations could not
disprove; and then it was that, far in advance
of all the states, comparing population with
the number of Men in the field, Pennsylvania
took the lead, and as late back as October,
1861„her authorities could point to a force of
over one hundred thousand men in the field. This
was exclueive of the titiota contributed to the
thtee'months' won, and while this number was
in actual service, New York had barely ninety
thousand five hundred men preparing for • the
army.
Wedo not revive these facts to create any
jealortey de the minds of the peooe of New
York. The necessity to du so is forced upon us
by the fact that the preis of New York still
persist in denying the•credit which is due to
the people . atid goverement of -Pennsylvania,
That New V. oy)i pride has been touched, weed
mit,bitt We is no reason Lir avowing a vulgar
reseotment, ut.becomieg the glory of the hour
and the importance of the struggle In which we
are eugeg'ed. BecausePenuey lyania has 59 ad
mirably managed her. financee, and because
Ron. Heel , D. Moore, the. State Treasurer, has
paid its entire proportion of the national taxes,
and placed Pennsylvania first on the list of the
states liquidating this indebtedness to the gen
eral government, New York envy is again ,
aroused, and We are sorry to note that the Tri
bune should be the first to object to our plain
way of stating this fact and claiming for Penn-
Byttanie the credit which is her due. It is a
way we have, in Pennsylvania, in discharging
these niatters. We pay our debts—we fight the
battles of 'the Dnion—and we meet taxation.
But we never boast until all these are accom-
Oohed. Not so, however, with some of our
neighbors. They are in the habit of first boast
ing, and then invariably fail to make good
their promises, when they become envious of
the successful and bitter towards the useful.
Reflection must teach the press and people of
New York., that it is idle for them to compete
with .Pennsylvania in any rivalry which re
quires real , energy, devoted loyalty, and unim
peachable integrity as tests of power, strength
and enterprise. The experience of half a cen
tury hie proven this fact, and the experience of
the next half will demonstate it still further.
TX. Rapumoaws or. Bun= ootrrwr met in
Convention on Monday, the 9th inst., and made
the following nominations for Congressional
and Legislative representatives:
Congreu—Benjamin M. Thompson..
Sesais--Chsrles M'Cavalers.
Ammoly-4 Q. frOoy and H. W. Grant.
Mr. Thompson is among the ablest and most
fearless men. in the Republican party, thor
oughly acquainted with the great interests of
the state and nation, and will make one of the
most useful men that ever represented any of
the districts of Pennsylvania in Congress. The
Legislative nominees, 'Messrs. M'Coy and Grant,
were both members of the last Legislature,
during which they made new claims on the
people of Butler, by the faithful manner In
which they served the interests of their constitu
ents. The Convention also nominated candidates
for county officers, all of whom are pronounced
the most poplar ever presented to the people
of Butler county.
THE LIBERALITY OF THE PEOPLE OF
ME JIETROPOLIS.
'Every Pennsylvanian has a common interest
in the growth of the city of Philadelphia, and
whatever concerns its interests in a commercial,
or business aspect, involves to a greater or
'smaller degree, the welfare and prosperity of
the entire commonwealth, and extending be-,
yond the limitBiof that, it has an4fluence aIISO
for good .or on the expansioilland , develop
. .
went of. every state in thsUnion.,. On this ac
count We cannot refuse to'applaid' the generos
ity with which the authorities of Philadelphia
have met the flnily more,
apparent of`either enlarging the present site and
buildings of the Philadelphia Navy Yard r or of
electing an entirely new set of buildings, docks
and workithom•op a
~, ner site te r located
somewhere COntiguoni tii.o/Of easy aCcessfroru
that city. The government has discovered that
a Navy Yard for construction and repair,cannot
be ereofed any other -localiiywitl bait 'the
advantate thatabch.arrestahliShment confd be
located in the vicinity of Philadelphia, and
a long time it hai been a question . with the
NiviDePartment Whether 'it:Would 'he '
icy to enlarge the old site,'Or purchase new
ground for a more extensive yard. In a spirit oi
liberaiityworthy of the, pressing wants 4 the
governments, and determinecl to leave no effort
unsparelito sustain that government in all its
wants, the authorities of Philadelphia propose
to tender to the Navy tiepartment the 'gratui
tous use and full posiseesion Of a large tract of
,land, amply sufficient fOr all the purpose, and
locatedat the junttion of, the Delawirt.,,arid
rivers,• 8/3 League Island,
which contains four hundred acres of solid land
-ample for foundries, shops and everything
connected with the most extensive naval es
tablishment. The cost to the city
- will be
about three hundred thousand dollars ; but the
advantagee for all time , to come, justify a much
higher outlay. The councils of the'city took
action on the subject on 'Tuesday evening last.
An ordinance was Passed authorising,* May-,
or to'present the Island to the government
for a Navy Yard.
The liberality of the gift; itt a moment when
the pressing necessities'of the governmeriseem
to demand the support of every loyal man, at
once elicits our approval and commands our
respect. , That an enlargement of the Navy
Yard at that point is demanded by every con
sideration of public safety and economy, no
man acquainted with national affairs will deny.
The 4ovemment sees it and the people feel it,
so that the longer it is delayed, the greater the
, danger from the delay„ and therefore the more
pressing the matter should be on every bust"
ness man in Cotigress:'''
The liberality of the city of Philadelphia, in
thus generously offering to aid the government
In its enterprise, by the donation of a large
tract of land, for the purpose of
_erecting the
new Navy Yard, is in striking contrast with
the practices and designs of the people of a
neighboring city. We cannot:refrain front al
luding to this fact, though we should invoke the
displeasure of some of our New York cotempo
reties by a comparison which 'must make New
York odious in the sight of the 'nation. New
York city has been for years feeding on the
vitals of the national , government. . Her ocean
mail steamships have all ben maintained on
government bounty—and the persistency with
which Nciw York had attracted to her limits,
other immense aimuuts.of government patron-
age and the expenditure of large sums of
money in the erection of government build
ings in that citY,'makes it a by-word in Con
gress, 'hat Ne7,York is forever crying " give,
give," and like the leech, it is never satisfied.
Even now, while New York state and city are
.
endeavoring - to entice the government to ex
pend a fabulous SUM of money for the purpose
of internal Improvements in the Empire state,
the merchants of that city are endeavoring,. by
the most systematie. misrepresentation, to in
duce Congress to remove the mint from Phila
delphia and,locate it within the limits of New
York. And what, we may atilt, do the million
aires and merchant princes of that city. offer;
the government in return for the granting of
all that is thus d e manded.? They offer to loan
the government, in its neoeseittes, money at
exhorbitant interests, and when an opportunity'
occins, by any financial dodge or legerdemain,
shave that government tithe largeot extent
The reader-will pardon 'this digressicro. It
could not be avoi...ecl while thus reterring to
the; liberality of the people :; of!Fhlladetpuia.
Let' that fact forever stand to the credit of that
etth and while the government will undoubt
edly accept the offer of the Philadelphia coun
cils embracing a tender: of certain Valuable
land as a site for a new Navy Yard, we trust
that the, result of the enterprise of one power
and the liberality of the other authorities,
will be the means otinereaaiNg.the welfare and

Gen. Slough's brigade was reviewed' yester
day prei n aratony to future movements. The .ap
pearance and ex. rcises of the various regiments
and batteries were highly creditable to them
sblves and their comniand,-r.
The bridge over the Potomac at Harper's
'Ferry has been rebuilt,, and the-cars run regu
larly to the west. At theinstance of • the gov
erninent, the-Baltimore and Ohio Railroad com
pany are repaiting,the Winchester and Potom ac road, and travel, will be resumed - upon it by
Thursday.• This will greatly facilitate the
transportation of much-needed army supplies.
The occupation of the'valley by our present
forcei baa not restored a feeling of security to
the loyal residents, and the Secessionists insist
upon it that Jackson will shortly pay us, an
other visit, in. his usual style. The more_ judi
cious portion of the latter regret this, as they
can see no possibility of his retaining it should
he - sacceed In forcing us to retreat '
From all indications daily intelligence is re
ceived from and despatched to Jackson's army.
The house of a leading Secessionist was search
ed yesterday, upon information that a mail
had :been deposited there the previous night,
but without success. • -
