The following is the Proclamation of Governor
Porter:
GENERAL ORDERS
DAVID r. PORTER, Governor of the Common.
wealth of Prnnsy lvania, Commander-in-C Chief,
&c. orders as follows
The Governor and Commander.in 4 Chief deeply
regrets that the renewal OF riot disorder and blood
shed, has again compelled him to repair 10 this
city, for the purpose Of aiding in the preservation OF
peace and the restoration ufOrder. A crisis has ar
rived of the most appalling character, in which
every good citizen is called upon bv the highest ob.
legations of duty to stand forward in the maln,cn.
ance ol the laws. The origin of the existing dis
turbances sinks into utter insignificance when com
pared with the disastrous consequences that
must inevitably result rom their continuance
Whatever opinion any citizen NAV have enter
tanned at the outset these disturbances as to the
cause, no man can view, without The most polgn-
ant feeling, the deporabe state of things already
produced, and certain to succeed, If they are not
Immediately arrested. The question is now
shall an irresponsible mob or the regularly const.
tuted authorities be forced to WELD No good cit
zen. who understands the nature, and desires To
ENJOY the blessings Of our free institutions, will
hesitate an instant under which standard to raj
y. The friends of peace, order, law and liberty,
will put forth their utmost might in supporting
Their legal authorities in the discharge of their
duty. Those who are enemies to these sacred
objects, will aid and countenance The efforts of the
insurgents.
The Commander Chief feels great satisfac
ton in announcing his entire appreciation of all
the measures that have been adopted by Major
General Patterson, as well as of the High Sheriff,
for quelllng and dispensing the tumutuous as.
sembsges of persons that sought to ntimidate
and drive from the ground the military force
while peacefully engaged in performing its duty
The retributlon has indeed been terrible, but it
was alike unavoidable and justifable. II the laws
cannot be maintained without the use Of force,
then force becomes as much an act oi patriotism
as of duty, and must be applied when the awful
necessity arises. This remark is made in the
hope that no repetition will be required Of this
most painful and terrific remedy.
Orders have been issued to the Majors Gene
raj OF several of the nearest Divisions tn have
all the Volunteer Companies under their COM
mand IN readiness to march at moments no.
tce; and, in pursuance Of this order, large
'orce will be mustered to repair to the scene Of
disturbance at any hour which may be designated
