In the Nev York Commercial Of the
18th inst., we find the following para
graph, which, coming from a Republi-
ean paper, somewhat surprises us:
We should be guilty Of great injustice
were We not to give due credit TO THIS
GovRRxoRs OF THIS STATE AND new
JgasxY for their zeal and promPtitude
in the crisis. When danger was I'M
pending, neither Of them had conditions
TO propose or terms to exact. The only
Question was who could first and most
effectually discharge his duty IS the ru-
Ter OF free and enlightened common
wealth. They make use Of no lit
"and." or "but." In the case Of New
Jersey, indeed, Gov. Parker calls upon
tho people to come to the rescue with
unprecedented ZEAL" The conduct OF
the officials will be the more cordially
appreciated; inasmuch a. they do not
belong % the political party 10 which
the national rens Of authority have been
committed.
These Governors, be it known, are
"Copperheads," and in their labors TO
strike heavy blow at the invader, they
are assisted very materially by one Geo
b. Mcclellan, another "Copperhcad" Of
some little note in this generation
Neither OF them are brawliug abolition
ists. nor do they take the neg' o into any
account. That is Why they arc Copper
heads, you know.
Mark the difference, If You will, be-
tween the action Of these Copperhead
Governors and the extremely loyal and
extremely patriotic Governor Of Mss'a-
chusetts. When he was called upon
year or 30 ago to raise some troops to
stay the StoncwaIl Jackson panic, he
gave the Secretary OF War to distinctly
understand that unless the emancipation
policy should be adopted, M sssac husetts
would withhold her succorl Mark the
difference, We say, between the Cooper
head" Governors and the "loyal' Gov
ernor Of the Bay State.
Earnest in the cause of bis country is
Gen. Mcclellan laboring. The President
refuses TO allow him to come to the aid
Of the country under his direction, bu,
under Gov. Seymour he il laborng with
= will. The Albany Atlas d Argus o.
the 10th says:
Gen. Mcclellan is still the guest Of
Gov. Seymour, giving him all the assis
tanoe which his military experience and
acquaintance with the field of action al
ford. Nearly $4,000 troops have been
started for the relief Of our sister States.
Gov. Seymour has directed the purchase
Of 10000 stand Ct arms for the Militia
and Volunteers Of the State.
These two noted Copperheads are set
ting ali example for energy and patriot
ism which some others will do well to
copy. We notice that the great "Roy
al Lacquer" John w. Forney, is con
strained to compliment them. lie says
in the Press
HoSoR TO Nrw YORK! Her Goper
nor has acted like man ,oho hnow,
cohen the time for partizanship is at a,

Harrisburg, and side by side with oai
brave Penusylvsnians, preparing to re

Of bro,herly love. But while the cit,
OF New York is doing SO much to say,
our State, what is the city Of Phiiadei
phia doing?
That is the question. What is Phil
adelphis, the headquarters of the "Loya
Leaguers," doipgl Where is her ex-
ample in the hour Of peril and affection
Where now is the s'S. B."-the III MO,
for the sake of the Union" That mean
something else than rushing to arms t.
save the country from foes IN arms. Th'
"Leaguers" OF Philadelphia are nostl,
engaged in preparing a grand Fourtl
Of July celebration, while the enemy j
desolsting the country almost IN sight.
