We're rough, and tough, and hearty yet ;

And there's as bill will smart ye-yet
So bang the dohrs, and lock 'em tight!
Secesh, you've got to make it right !
We'll have a little dance to-night i .

Then rip hurrah for Uncle Sam!
And down with sr!l secesh and sham
From Davis to Yallandigham,,

TO the Senate atof Mose 'of RrTreqentatires
• of the Commonwealth of Pennsylli , anitt :
GENTLEMEN.: In taking leave of You
at the close, of the session, I think it
proper, under existing , circumstanees, to
go beyond the usual formalities • •
The partiality of my fellew citizens
placed. me in the office whioh'l now held,
at a period of great riddle distraction,
which soca culminated in • the,tireaking
out of the RebelliGn,wiiich is still tagiug,
The country. has so long silic*red jli
unbroken tranquility, that we hair iti this
State almost forgotten the' p'cA:sibility ,o 1
any violation of our doweatie peace.--
Even our wilitia laws had been-suffered
to fall into &snip, and were retinged to a
1 1 merely permissivecirgantiation of a few
unifernied volunteer companies in variouF
parts_ of the' State. The whole,- bind of
our . people as directed to peaceful and
industrious pursuits. Conscioua; them
selves °filo intention to injure thelights
or interests of others, or in. any way to
violate the Constitution under which ut•
had thriceo, they were unable to realize
the designs of wicked and abandoned
men, eveu after they ,- had been pnbltly
and,boastingly proclaimed.
Although for many months war had
-been actually• levied against the United
States, in South Carolina and elsewhero,
it i 3 a fact that the people of thiS Com
monwealth were first startled into ti sense
of the common danger by the bombard
ment of Fort. Sumter. The Legislature
was then in session, and immediately mode
such provision as was at the moment
deemed nc . c . easary. But,' shortly after
its adjournment, events having rapidly
advanced, and the Capitol of the country
being in apparent danger, .I deemed it nec
essary to convene it. again early in ,May,
1.861, to adopt measures for placing, the
State on a footing adequate to the emer
gency. This was promptly and cheerfully
done; Five hundred thousand. dollars
-had been appropriated at the regular ses
sion for inilitaty purposes, and ,to j that
cum--vvaa then addeu•autnority•to borrow
three millions of dollars. This loan,', not
withstanding the depressed condition of
the finances of the country, and the alarm
and distrust.tben nevailing, was prOmpt
ly taken by our own citizens, at par; mid,,
at the suggestion of the Bxecutive,,laws
were passed for organizing 'our - military
forces, • and especially fur immediately ,
raising and supporting at the- expense of
the State a body of fifteen thousand Men,
called the Reserve Corps, to be ready for
immediate service when required. ,The
Government of the United States Thad
called out se'venti- - five thousand militia to
serve for three month's, of which the quo
ta Of Pennsylvania was irutnediately,fur
, nislied.' The Reserve Corps. was
equipped and disciplined by the State,
(toil Con-tributed largely.imder Providence

present hour the loyalty and indomitable
spirit of tbe . ireemen of Pennsylvanii have•
been exhibited in every Way'on everimin
easion; they have flocked to the stand
aid of their country in her hour of peril,
- and have borne it victoriously on battle
fields from Maryland, Virginia and .en
tucky to the far South and Southwest ;
they have never faltered for a me:limit.
It-has been my pride to occupy a position
which enabled we to become familiar With
all their patriotism and self devotion ; ; and
to guide - their eff4ts. Posterity will do
them full jtistice. Every 'requisition ot
- the General a-oven:intent has been proinpt
ly fulfilled; all legislation in support of
this mime has been - enacted
• without delay;
and Pennsylvania is entitled to be ranked
first amongst, the States that have been
throughout unflinching iin..their determi

who are endeav;orOg to; destroy- the, last
h l etufild of - Liberty". !

The State has not leen insensible to
the sacrifices which her ; sons have made.
- No effort has been spared by her atithor-
Ries to iseelre their douifort and welfare:
Under legislative provisions tiithat effect;
her sick and itroundedliare been followed
and cared for, and when practicable,
brought l home- to be , nursed by their
friends ; and the bodies.of the slain, bee
possible,-lave been rourned for burial in
the }Koji of.the State.,. The contribuimns
of her citizens, in supplies of Inxurieskind
comforts, fur all her volunteers, have been
almost boundless, and nothing has seen
omitted:that could encourage and stinni-,
late- the; in' the performance of their holy
duty.' -They.haie felt upon every mtheh
and-in everycarap,' however desolate their
immediate •siirroundings; that' the eyes
and hearts of the loved ones at home were
upon and with ,them. - I
The result is, that Pennsylsiania is net

to congratulate you, as her represetita

being made the centre of an active politi•

it has pl i eased the President.of the United
States to tender we a high position, at
the:expiration of my present tern) of office,
and I have not felt myself at liberty to
o'o otherwise than accept this offer. As
I shall, for all these reasons, retire from
office at ,the close.of my present term, t
have thought this a not inappropriate
ruode.of announcing that fact.
In taking leave of yon-,4 may be per.
witted to say, that, as Governor of the
Commonwealth, I have given, as was my
duty, and shall continue to give, an active
and carries support to the Government
of the United States, in its effort to sup
port the 'existing rebellion. As a private
citizen, . 1 shall continue heartily to uphold
tbe•President and his administration as
tho only 'wonoli-biz whiola this - resnly-oar
be attained—or, in other words, the coun
try can be saved. I give this as my de
liberate opinion, and' shall openly, can
didly and •zeglously act in accordanie
with it.
Of the warm hearted friends, to,Whom
I owe so 'much, and of the people of the
Commonwealth, who, regardless of parts,
have never tiled of - Oheerine - iny toils and
anxieties: by tokens of their generous cod
fidence and approval; I cannot speak with
composure. I can do no more than ex
press to them the dtepest, truest and most
heartfelt gratitude., '

If,You Mean No, Say No.
When a mao has made up his mind to
dp or not to do a thing, he should have
the pluck to say so prainly, and decisive
ty. It is'a mistaken kindness—if meant
as kiiiduess—to meet a request which
ybu have determined not to' grant, With

easy ; but theikterideucy is to give bite
useless trouble itniljanziety, and possibly,
to prevent his seeking what he' requires,
in a more propitious quarter until , after
the golden opportunity has passed.- 1
Moreover, it is questionable whether the
motives fer such equivocation are phi'.
aeithropic as "some "people suppose. Gen
erally speaking; tha, individual who thus
avoids a direct refuial, does so to avoid
himself pain: Men without decision of
character have an indiscribable aversion
to say No. They eau think No—some
times when it would be more creditable
to their inurtesy and benevolence to think
Yes—but they dislike to utter the bold
word that represents their thoughts. It 1 .
is true that these bland and . considerate
people are often spoken of as "very gen. t ,
tleinanly.7 But is it gentlemanly to di
keep a man in suspense for days and per
haps weeks, merely because you- do not li
