ton, cordially inviting the attendance Of
aH who are in favor Of supporting the Com
slitution and the Union, and Of sustaining
the Federal Government IN It's efforts 10
suppress rebellion and put down treason.
Yielding 70 tue necessities Of the times the
committee have thus deyiated from their
strict authority and though we should
have preferred a cooperation Of the State
Committees Of the Republican and Demo
cratic parties In this matter, yet this Is Of
too triang importance TO merit any serious
attention.
These are no times for ceremony; it Is
action that Is needed, prompt, united, ear
nest action. In ordinary times, party con-
tests and differences are not without their
benefits ever seeking the welfare Of the
government, and ever jealous Of her inter
ests, it is party which stimulates the ener-
gics Of the people and enables them TO as
certain the wisest course Of national policy.
The present Issue before the American
people is not Of partizan character; it is
Of an altogether higher nature il Is an Is
sue Of life or death with the government /;
the question is put TO tie people not how
the government may be best administered
or what course win best tend 10 our ma
tional greatness aud glory; but whether or
not the Constitution shall be wantonly vi
olated, the country discovered, the national
honor disgraced and the strength Of the
government seriously impaired.
On these subjects there can be among
patriotssno difference Of opinion. In this
State, scarcely had the first cloud Of that
drcfnl storm which has noW burst in full
fury upon Us, appeared in the distant ho-
rizon, before party and party spirit were
swept from our midst like the floating Cos
samer The legislature by an unanimous
vote appropriated million Of dollars for
military purposes, and with almost entire
unanimity proceeded 10 adopt measures for
the support Of the government.
Our citizens without party disclimina-
ton have fastened 10 join our mastering
regiments; on all our green hills and valleys
national banners are floating in the pure
breeze Of our mountains, while the hearts
of our people beat in unison for the well
fare Of the nation in this the hour of trial
Whether protective or revenue tariff
is the most judicious, or whether slavery
in the territories shall be controlled by the
people therein or by Congress, are subjects
in ordinary times well worthy the consid-

no doubt that they will be the frmest van

The engagement n Phillippa took place
at . o'clock on Monday morning. The
plan was well laid for the surprise, but
the impetuosity Of few troops gave the
rebels warning. They fed in haste, leay-
ing their baggage, forty horses, four wag-
ons loaded with provisions and FIVE hum
dred muskets. Col. Kelly, in charging in
advance Of his men, was shot with re-
yolyer by rebel who had charge Of pro-
