organization, disciplining, and arming of
at least fifteen regiments of Cavalry and
Infantry, exclusive of those called into the
service of the United States. As VIC have
already ample warning of the necessity of
being prepared for any sudden ezigency
that may arise, cannot TOO much impress
this upon you.
I cannot refrain from alluding to the
generous manner in which the people of
all parts of the State have, from their
private means, provided for the families of
those of our citizens who are now under
arms.
In many parts of the Commonwealth,
grand juries and courts, and municipal cor
porations, have recommended the appro.
priation of moneys from their public funds
for the same commendable purpose. l
would recommend the passage of an act
lcgalizing and authorizing such appropri-
ations and expenditures.
1t may be expected that, in the present
arrangement of trade and commerce, and
the withdrawal Of so much industry from
its ordinary and productive channels, the
selling value of property generally will
be deprecated, and large portion of our
citizens deprived of the ordinary means Of
meeting engagements. Although much
forbearance may be expected from gen
erous and magnaninous people, yet fee
it my duty to recommend the passage of &
judicious law to prevent the sacrifice o
property by forced sales in the collection
of debts.
You meet together at this special session
surrounded by circumstances involving thu
most solemn responsibilities, Tho reccol
lections of the glories of the past, the re
fections OF the gloomy present, and tn
uncertainty of the future, all alike call up
on you to discharge your duty in a spiri
of patriotic courage, comprehensive wis
/, dom, and firm resolution. Never in tn
, history of our peacc-loYing Commonwealth
have the hearts of our people been SO still
: red in their depths, as the present moment
, and l feel that need hardly say to yor
that, in the performance Of your duties o
= this occasion, and in providing the way
= and means for the maintainancc Of ou
Q country's glory, and our integrity as nj

John IL Mcconnell cannot be Elected

A card from John i. Mcdonnell will be
found in our advertising columns After this
nothing is wanting to prove that his sympa-
thics are with the Secessionsts. He acll-
nowedges this in so many words lie says
81 will promptly, If elected Governor, obey
any reqnisitioH the Federal Government may
make upon me" lie Immediately adds
"Houepe, strongly Imay dissent from He pol
icg Hercof," etc. This shows, that at the best.
he would be an unwilling Governor of the
State-an unwilling agent to execute the
laws; and, what is worse, an unwilling ex.
pounder of the duty required Of him hy the
Constitution. Were he elected an issue at
law would at once arise between him as Gov
eruor and Lincoln as President, and we fear
the State be Immediately precipitated into
bloody conflict.
No; no; we want no unwilling Governors
at this time How long would John r. Me-
Connell, if Governor, be able to resist the
molign influences by which he would be
surrounded, even if he were disposed to rc-
idly enforce the laws? How long would he
he able to resist the inclination of his own
heart, and the legal advice of such men as
Bolts, Randolph, Robinson d Co.'s. FHcr

TAke w nTMiMg.

When the infamous wretch-Claib Jack
son-hed like a guilty criminal as he was
and is, from the state of Missouri, Of which he
was Governor, he left behind him proc'a-
nation in which he truly said the people Of
that State were in favor Of the Union and
against the Secession Coulcdc0cy. Not
withstandng ali this lie went directly into
the rebel camp, raised band Of bligands
from Arkansas, Tennessee and Texas, and
with them invaded the State which had, in an
evil hour, honored him. Would Mcconnell
do likewise if elected? lie says as Claib
Jackson did, that lis state is with AMI for
the Union If elected would he do as
Claib Jackson has done?

Now, sir, ! consider the above a SANDER
upon the Catholic Church. The assertion
that any "high diguitary" in the Church
can say how a Catholic shall orohall not vote,
is a hnor Nothing ealumag, and wonder
that any paper having any claim to common
deccncy, can admit such stuff TO It's columns.
assure you, sir, that | can safely say for the
whole of the Irish Catholics, that they have
no master to tell them how to exercise tbe
glorious privilege of voting. The Church
tolerates no such interference They will,

duty too well to allow any feelings OF tins
nature to conflict with the paramount claims
Of American citizenship They regard an
oath as no light, trivial form but a olsoIemn

not vote the Mcconnell ticket; they swore
to support the Constitution and the laws OF
the United States and they know there IS
but one issue involved in the coming election,
viz: the destruction or maintenance OF I'm.

sophistres of the McCouuelites to the CON

They know two that the peace aud pros
perily Of California depend on the triumph OF

support of the Douglas voters but large
p,riion of the true Union voters, as they.

for any other man than John Conness, whom
look upon as a true Union eandidate-as a
man who is uncompromi>ingly in favor of
