Great excitement was caused in
Pittsburg yesterday by the announce
ment that u number of heavy ordnance
was to be shipped from the Allegheny
Arsenal to points at the south where
there were new forts not yet mounted,
and where the secessionists could get
them. The Government at Washington
was called upon to countermand the
order, as there were Indications that the
people would resist their removal.

The dispatches Yesterday inform us that
Lincoln has issued a proclamation for 85,-
900 troops in addition TO The $1,000 recent
ly demanded. They are to be enrolled fol
three. FIVE, and seven years, and will be a
part of the standing army of the govern
ment. How this immense force is to be
disposed, or for what purpose it is to be
raised, the public have as yet not been in
formed. The people have right to know
if we are TO have military despotism. So
long as the Administration was acting on
the defensive, we could wish it success !;
but if such an immense military force is
TO be placed at the disposal of a political
party. to be used for such purposes as
sectional luminosity may dictate, we may

Governors Message.

The crowd upon our columns this morn
ing prevents review of the Message Of
the Governor addressed to the Legislature
yesterday. He recommends the appropri-
alton of a million OF dollars for the pur-
chase of arms and munitions of war, and
for the organization of such portions oft he
militia as may be deemed necessary for the
emergency, which it is proposed to borrow
by the issue of bonds the enactment of an
efficient military system the passage of a
law defining and furnishing treason against
the State and providing for the suspension
of laws for the collection of debts against
those who may De actively employed in the
military service of the State or the United
States. The.latter recommendation is clear
ly unconstitutional, however generous the
proposition may be to those whom it was
intended to benefit. We most cordially
agree with the Governor, as must every
loyal citizen, in the view he takes that is
the imperative duty of Ind, to make suit
able preparations for the crisis in which
the country is pl ced. by providing ample
supplies of men and money to insure the
protection OF the State and the support of
the General Government in the prosecution
Of the contest between it and the successful
termination The issue should be and must
be met by vigorous. decided aud prompt
policy. In every point of view, such a
course is demanded by both public and
private interests, and in the end it will be
found the most economical. A procras-

Some Democrats in this town, who talk
SO much about compromising their prin-
ciples by voting for Republicans on Un-
ion ticket, have probably forgotten that the
Democratic party have censured the Re-
publicans, whose principles are as dear to
them as ours are to us, for refusing Jus:
terms of compromise with the South
while they will not compromise a little
party spirit in a local election. where party
names are ignored. The bigotry Of the
Republicans in refusing all compromises,
was one Of the causes Of the present war
and now. shall we stultify ourselves, and

choice. They begin 10 find out he does
not suit them, and some talk even of i'm
peaching him and substituting man of
action in his place. Our readers are aware
that Mr.. Lincoln was not our candidate.
We did not believe in rail-splitter. We
looked for statesman to steer the ship CT
State when foaming breakers appeared
ahead. We are not, therefore, responsible
for the incapacity now displayed but, on
the other hand, we do not agree with the
Republican journals that any such violent
measures should be resorted to as that of
impeachment. or superseding constitu-
tional President for a dictator. Mr.. Lin

is not traitorous to the country. We can

very easily get rid of his Cabinet and ap-
point vigorous administration in its stead.

ought to be Immediately adopted.

UNION MEN OF KENTUCKY AND THE NEU-
TRALIrY PoLlcY.--The conference of the
Council Chamber yesterday between citi
zens Of Louisville and citizens of this place
was very pleasant one. and will, we think,
be productive of much good. Our Ken.
tuckey friends were much gratihed with
the proceedings. and especially with the
letter of Governor Dennison to Mayor
Hatch. That letter, they declared, would be
worth thousands of votes to the Union men
of Kentuckey. Judge Bullitt. in a strong
and eloquent speech, stated the reason why
the Union men of Kentucky yielded to the
policy of EARN ed neutrality. His lea
sons satisfied us that it was earned neu.
trality" or immediate secession. In the
affairs of state. as we'll as of life. stern prin-
ciple must sometimes yield to expediency
and had the Union men gone in for sup
porting the proclamation Of the President
Kentuckey would soon have gone ont o
the Union. AS it is, we are satisfied she
can now be retained. We do not believe
she can 90 out. We believe that from the
the reports we have daily from all parts o
Kentucky. The withdrawal from the field
of Secession candidates to the Border
State Convention assures US that the Sc
cessonists were satisfied that, with the
Unionists supporting the earned neutral
ity" policy, they themselves would have
to GO under So they wisely withdrew
from the contest. and theaeby avoided
showing their weakness. s. Cincinnati En-

Another Convention.

A call has been issued for another
Corporation convention, at the Court
House, tonight We are not informed
as TO the necessity which, in the opinion of
the callers, made this move necessary.
The general opinion, so far as We have
heard an expression, ir regard to the I'm
ion ticket, is favorable to it; and all com
mend the spirit which prompted those who
were instrumental in forming it. So far
as relates to the propriety Of running a
Union ticket, i is only necessary to say
that it was talked over freely among DEM
ocrats and Republicans, for week or two
before the issuing of the call for the Union
Convention and it was understood, from
reliable authority, that the Democratic
nominees would withdraw, if Union tick
e: could be formed. Three CT them signed
the call. and probably others would if
opportunity had been afforded them.
1t is said by portion Of the movers in
getting up this convention for tonight,
that they are Democrats, and cannot vote
for anybody Jm Democrats If they had
made this resolve about month ago, we
would now have had Democratic Trustee,
another Demoe ratio Constable, and larg-
er majority for our Democratic Justice.
They voted for Republicans when party
lines were tightly drawn; when no Union
ticket was thought of; when there was
regular Democratic ticket running, COM
posed of men whose Democracy or fitness
were not doubted, and when, if they had
been elected. it could have been claimed as
a Democratic victory. But now, when
the citizens have expressed a desire that
but one ticket should be nominated, they
talk very loudly about voting for nobody
but Democrats We would respectfully
ask them if Gideon Blain or Joseph c.
Leonard make any pretensions to Democ
racy ? and if they were not running in
opposition to Democrats and II some of
those who are engineering this thing
did not vote for them about one month
ago? When we want to take lessons in
Democracy, we will apply to those who
leach more by example. And when we
vote for Republicans, we shall do it openly
and not under cover of Democracy.
We suppose some man and his friends
will be nominated, and all DEMO
GRATIS" called upon to support the tick
IT.
These remarks are not intended to be Of
. personal nature, aud are not for we
recognize many Democrats as our
friends. although some of them have said
We were sold to the Republicans. That
vas very naughty. but harmless.
