HARRISBURG, Monday, Jan. II, 1861.
Mr. Smiths Union resolutions were up ~ the special
order in the House this afternoon.
Mr.. William. OF Allegheny made powerful speech,
ayeuing the right Of coercion, opposing compromise,
advocating vigorous exercise Of the powers Of tho
Government 10 suppress secession by force; assang
severely the petitions for the repeal of the 9jth section
Of the Penal Code holding all attempts at compromise
futile, past compromises having been failures; saying
that The Union must bo reconstructed ultimately by the
readnson Of the conquered provinces; and thu, the
shedding Of II small amount Of blood now would save
oceans hereafter.
There were yast numbers pre- sent, and applause from
the gallcries was frequent.
Mr. Duiiield OF Philadelphia DEM replied briefly.
Great Importance is attached TO Williams speech,
he being tie exponent of radical Republcanisu and it
being regarded foreshadowng the action OF that por.
ton of the Republicans Of this State.
Prominent parties intimate with Gov. Curtin say
tia, bis inaugural address will contain recommended
ton for repeating all laws conflicting with Federal
authority; fayoring the exhaustion of all means for
cancellation and peace before force is resorted to- and
pledgng all the pecuniary and physical power of the
State to preserve the Union unbroken. The Message
will not refer the Sunbury and Eric Road nor to the
rereal Of the tunnage tax. II will leave the egazs
ton Of the suspension Of specie payments to the Legs
laturc. The Governor believes, from tho abundant
resources Of the State and nation, that al pecuniary
