dorse. But all this does not alter the
plain, palpable fact, that we haqe a gov
crnment; that we owe allegiance to it;
that it has been shamelessly assaulted and
insulted while doing nothing, more than
defend itself--while offering no actual in
reference with the seeded States; and
that il must be sustained, promptly, in
stantly, energetIcally, or fall to rise no
more forever. No matter what others may
do, to the erteH Of our humble ability, ace
shall sustain IL. We shall not play the
part which Wing and Republican news
papers played in every foreign war or
quarrel in which our country has been
engaged; but while we proclaim our poll
cy to be that Of fair dealing Cancellation,
compromise and peace, we will stand by
the old flag to the last, no matter who are
its enemies-no matter who stands at the
head of our notional government. In this
at least we will demonstrate our superior
ity to our political opponepts--that we
stand by our country, no matter what be-
comes of our party creed.

Common Council PrOceetiilgs---
SPECIAL Election Ordered.

At "a meeting of the Common Council,
held last evening, the resignation of Emil
morris, as Controller Of the city, was re-
ceived. Resolutions highly compliment
tary to Mr.. MooREs, expressing regret at
the loss OF good citizen and an efficient
officer, and pride "in knowing that true
patriot has taken up arms in defense of
his adopted country in this her hour of
peril" were unanimously adopted.
a resolution was also passed, referring
to vote Of the people of this city, the
question of raising by tax o fund Of So
600 to aid in tho support of the families
of volunteers who march TO sustain the
Government. The vatc is to be taxi
en- on Monday next The polls to be
opened at 0 and closed at 4 o'clock, at
the same places the last City election
was held.
We hope to see on this question de-
gree of un9nimity in favor Of raising the
amount, that will silence all opposition.
Let us not be behind other places, in pro-
portion to our ability,fn the good work.

From the Mt, Clemens Advocate
The Present Times.

War has at last broken out, and the
martial spirit of the people of the North
is fully aroused. There is but little doubt
but that double, or treble the number
called for by the President could be east
ly raised. Yet, let not the people of the
North rush blindly into course, the end
of which they cannot see. No words Of
ours will stay the impetuous current of
feeling, in this behalf; but we cannot let
the moment pass without asking for de-
liberation and cool Judgment. No one,
if asked, but would say, nell stand By Our
Rag, tce eiU stand or .faU by the country but
1t as not foreign foe with whom this war
has now commercially is with our
brethren. For ourselves, we are willing
to say, they are wrong in the steps they
have taken, we easily confess their theory
is incorrect. But, for a false step, for an
incorrect theory, with men bound to us
by ancient frindships, by common glories,
by the dearest ties of family, zoe cannot
consent to be at war. Others may view this
all differently; to us these reasons are i'm
perative. We trust, the day of strife, as
in England, in the time of Cromwell, Of
France, in the struggle in La Ve'adee has
long gone by. If such struggle, such
day, has again come, let our people well
weigh history, as to Military Dictator
ship, and carefully ponder their own fu-
ture.

SPIRIT OF TUB Passive give, in
this issue, extracts from papers in various
parts of the State, nearly all coming
squarely up to the support of the gov
crnment. All must soon come up to
that standard for there is no middle
ground in the contest. Madness evident
ly rules the hour at the South and they
will "fogcc the fighting regardless of
friends or foes in the North. The choice
at this time is between an ignonimious
surrender Of right, and manhood, even,
and stern uncompromsing defence Of
the government. BY and by, when
the aspect of affairs changes, it may do to
talk of Cancellation, but in this emergen-
cy there is but one course and that is
to stand by the flag of our country, the
glorious "stars and stripes" without a
why or where fore" and that is where we
stand, without apologizing to those who
think differently, or fawning TO such as
agree with US in opinion.

From the Providence Post.

From the Iroyidenco Post
What is the duty of the people under
these circumstances? It seems to us that
but one answer can be given. The gov
eminent must be sustained. It's policy
has not been wise; but it has been, thus
Gar only defensive. We would not con-
sent to march against the South for its
subjugation, nor to force upon it an often
sivc government. But neither can we
consent to have it wrest from us by force
what is plainly our own. We will not
consent to be disgraced in the eyes of The
civilized world. Washington must be de-
Tended. Invasion must be resisted. As.
suits upon the stars and stripes must be
punished.
This is our position, and we think it is
sustained by the almost universal senti-
ment Of our people. We feel natural
pride in saying that we have taken no
part in bringing upon the country the
present state of things. We did not in
augurate the irrepressible conflict. We
have never counselled or justified the
contemplate, 90 essive doctrines and
measures of the Black Republican party.
Secession did not result from any acts Of
ours. The South was not inhamed by
our assaults upon it. It was not our vic.
tory which drove seven States to seek
safety in new Confederacy. We did
not counsel the reinforcement, of provis-
ioning, or retepsion Of Fort Sumter We
do not justify the logged obstinaoy Of
Abraham Lincoln, in clinging
to the party creed, while the Union crum-
bles beneath his feet. We have asserted,
and we will assert on every proper occa-
sion, that secession might have been stop
ped without any sacrifice of principle ;
that the Union might even now be re
stored by such compromises heartily en-

During the thunder storm of Saturday
evening the 18th, the house occupied by
Henry Mapes, near Otisville, was struck
by lightning, and William +. Corwin,
son Of Horton Corwin, Esq, of New Yer

down two feet below the roof, and por-
lions thrown several rods from the house.

was driven through the plaster over the
bed, and a collar and neck.tie lying on
the mantle were found between the bed
ticks. a third current descended the
stove-pipe, throwing open the doors, in
front of which the deceased was sitting.
Rising from his chair, he grasped his left
arm with his right hand, exclaiming-
"Oh my arm " and, advancing step or
two, fell on his face and expired. The
only mark found was blackened spot
behind the ears. The family 1--WE in
number escaped injury. save Mrs. Mapes,
whose ankle was considerably bonumbed
by the shock.
The deceased was eighteen years of
age, and possessed a frank, genial nature,
which had drawn around him many young
friends, who were shocked at hearing OF
8 being so suddenly cut down whilst
just at the verge of manhood.

The PIRATES OF THE GULF.-Commo
dore Rousseau, of the Confederate SER
vice, is fitting out several other vessels
at New Orleans--the stolen United
States steamship Sumter among them
to prey on our commerce in the gulf
The steamship now on her way to New
York from Aspinwall, with the Califor-
MIA passengers and about one million dol
lars in bullion, is watched for by these
pirates, who confidently expect to make
her their prey. AS she is probably en-
tirely unsuspicious Of danger, she will be
very likely to fall into their clutches.
