R8g@ Southern sympathizers and disap-
pointed ofic seekers, too cowardly to avow
their real feelings, seek to destroy the
Government by assailing its officers and
crying corruption" " fraudulent con-
tracts" to every act executed by those in
power. This extends, not only to the
National Administration, but to almost
all the State Administrations. The last
cry comes from the Pittsburgh Gazette,
and charges Gov. Curtin with neglect and
fraud in the fitting ont of Col. Geary's
regiment. Other newspapers are copying
the charge aud adding to it whatever their
own bitter partizau or disappointed spirits
may dictate. To this charge the Harris-
burg Telegraph gives brave and fearless
denial. Coi. Geary's regiment was not
equipped By the State, but by the Gene
raj Government, and Gov. Curtin had no
part in it further than the regiment being
accepted through him as part of the quota
called for from Pennsylvania. The State
Administration has ever shown the most
determined spirit iu reference to the wal.
Gov. Curtin and his officers have pct their
whole power and mind to the great work
Of furnishing men and nseaes for the war.
When the Legislature was about to ad
journ, Gov Curtin asked of it the power
to raise fifteen additional regiments to be
held as reserve in case they should be
needed. Some doubted the propriety or
necessity of the measure, but it was grant
ed, and see the result! After the battle
of Bull Run, Washington was supposed
to be ia danger, and more troops were
needed Immediately. Pennsylvania was
called upon, and it is due to the far-sight-
edness Of our Governor that she was able
to throw into the be!eaguered city regi-
ment after regiment until we could again
say, " Washington is safe" Depend up
on it, loyal citizens, the Administration
of the Old Keystone is well able to guard
its honor,-and be certain of one thing,
those who claim to see fraud and trickery
in every act of the Government, are gen
orally those who would, if they did but
dare, 60 and fight for the Rebels under
Jeff. Davis. AS Pennsylvanians, we have
cause to be proud of the noble course pur-
sued by our officers in trust. Her men
were the first to open the way to Wash.
ington, and if we remember rightly, the
first to respond to the call of the Presi-
dent She has done much, and will con-
tiuue In the good work as long as there
is need. The present State Administra-
ton came into power at perilous time,
and ever since has put its best energies
to the work of supporting the General
Government, and every loyal citizen may
be certain of one thing, that our noble
Governor will suffer no opportunity tc
pass for the futherance, both of our Ma
tional and State honors.
