Stiffening the Beek Bone.
The New York Tribune has a correspondent
at this place whose special business it is to
stiffen 'the Spinal column of the Republican
members Of the. Legialetnie, and administer
chastisement to who exhibit; signs of falter
ing. Listen to him; •
The Telegraph itself hat turned short about,
since Mr: Cameron indorsed Bigler's con-
cession in the ÜB. Senate. Privious . to that
time it bad been oppose 4. to all MlCelifiOn,
NOW, however, it comes out *with a leur-column
article, - proposing somethinglikethe Crittenden
scheme. The article is important only fromthe
feet - that it reflects the views of Gov:; Curtin. I .
am informed by one of the most reliable mein...
bvs. - Of the House, that the article' watrWritten'
by n gentleman in the Eastern part of the State
-r—tt native of Virginia—and that it watt sub
mitted to Gov_ Curtin for his inspection end
approial. 'He gave it his sanction, and itmay
be looked upon as the opinions of the State
AdMieddication. There is uo disputing the
fact that the Governor . is. a little, inclined , to
softening of the spinal column, and is urging the
temporizing policy upon his friends in the' Le
gislature. I most reiterate my opinton, founded
on tiat•ilays pretty close observation here, that .

But,co *tatter. -• The Tekgraph, .may, be en

Republican members of the Legislature should
not hate submit meekly while they are.whipped

The War Project,
The proposition to appropriate money out of ,
the State Treasury for the purpose of arming
the militia of the Commonwealth seems to have
died a natural death in The House of Repre-
Sentativea.. Under the influence of the sober'
second thought, much of that bellicose spirit
which animated'a large portion of the Repub.
lioan represtmtatives has evaporated ; and we
nowfind Republican gentlemen urging the
same objeatione to the project of, putting:, the
militia on , a war fdoting that were advanced in.
this journal when the Telegiaph called upon the
Legislature to appropriate a MILLION. or DOL
LARS towards the promotion of civil war and
fraternal carnage. • - - -
We felt confident, at that time, that when
one hundred men of average intelligence came
to reflect aeriouisly upon the - folly and futility
of erputizing and equipping an army When the
State is not threatened with invasion from any

Because some of the Stuithein States have
organizedarmies for defence, furniehes no good
mike:Why we should • organize an army 'to at
tack them. The position of those States is dif
fer*/ from ours. The South is in the midSt

will be made at coercion. Their military:pre
parations are - littinded to - resist any attack that
may be directed, against them, and not to com
mence war against.the bT orthernStates. While
preierving' their defensive °attitude, there can
be no ;War without the North l irisists upon it._
Neither will there be wai, or apesOenent.
solution of the Union, unless the North stub
bornly refuses to a peaceable settlement.
Preparations of war would be taken as an
indication that Pennsylvania wishes to fight ;
and so would the tender of troops to the Fede
ral Government, before it is ascertained that
the government intends to attempt coercion
against the seceding States as the means of
persuading them that they would be , better off
in the Union than out of it.
Then it ie Well •for our people to understand
that war means taxation—taxation to double,
treble. quadruple the amount now imposed
upon them-44MIN QOM and indefinite,
and to what end Y For the privilege of slaugh
tering and being slaughtered, and making the
separation between the South and the North
certain and continual.
When the Legislature fully determines to in
rite the people to this sort of an entertainment,
let them proceed to appropriate millions Of
Miley to arm the militia.
The Result in Virginia.
The Baltimore American, which has through
out this secession controversy used its influence
in behalf of the Union and has been largely
instrumental in preventing Maryland from
taking immediate steps to separate from the
Union, uses the following langitage in refer
ence to the Virginia election. It is worth while
for our people to consider the deep significance
of these sentiments, coming as they do from a
leading representative of, the most moderate
and most Conservative portion of the Southern
people:
Enough is known of the Virginia election to
indicate with apparent certainty the temper of
her people. It will be remembered that the
geographical position of this glorieus old State
is alone sufficient to, give peculiar importance
to her voice and counsels in the present crisis.
Excepting Maryland, -there is-no slave State in
the Confederacy, where vital interests are more
directly mixed tip . With the settlement or pro-.
longtdion of this controversy—which hut at,
last reached a climax—than the Old Dominion;
She has a wide and indefensible herder on the
separating line; and she has been . one of the
largest losers by Northern fanaticism. Whet.
ever 'pretext may be urged' in favor of secession
by any one, or all 'of the Thilf &Steil combined,
it is pest all controversy ttige Virginia has more
wrongs to 'redress than. all, of the seceding:
States putiogethet. - Under these 'eirennistani.
°es, the infiminei of herlatimitviote eanniot well
