Pennsylvania, they must enlist in the regu-
lar service and become subservient to
the vacillating will of Mr.. Lincoln. If
it is political dodge OF AbolitionIsm, to
inveigle men into the service of his mag
esty, to be - held at the will of Mr.. Lin
coln," we warn the people to beware; but
if there be really any danger of Pennsyi-
vania being invaded by armed rebels, let
the people know the truth and let Gov
Curtin receive them properly, and assume
that command with which the Constitu-
ton of Pennsylvania empowers him. Let
the men be properly armed and equipped
for that purpose ; and as soon as it is as
certained that our borders are in no dam
ger, and that their services are no longer
required, let them be disbanded and al
lowed 10 return to their homes.
Governor Curtin in speech to the
troops, assured them that as soon as the
rebels were driven out of the State, they
should be mustered out Of service but
urged them to be mustered into the ser
vice of Mr.. Lincoln, alleging that there
was no provisions, arms or equipments
wherewith he could furnish them. Here
is not only persuasion bat direct require
mcnt, as the militia before they can be
armed Or receive rations, must submit to
be put into the service of Mr. Lincoln,
to be disposed of as his majesty sees fit
But our good Governor has promised as
soon as the q emergency" is past,
that the militia shall be mustered out
of the service, and allowed to 90 about
their own business, resarving the right to
himself 10 judge of when that time shall
have come
Allowing Mr. Curtin to be honest in
his pledges, how is he going to. disband
the troops after they have been handed
over 20 the general government and sworn
into the service of Mr.. Lincoln The
truth Of it is Mr. Curtin appears little
weak in the knees. The Constitution of
Pennsylvania clothes him with power and
authority, which his timidity viii not al
low him to exercise. He, by virtue of
his office, is Commander-in-chief of the
militia Of the State; and surely the re-
sources Of Pennsylvania can afford arms
and equipments for the defence of her
own borders, without dependency on the
compassion of Father Abraham Gov
ernor Curtin has already sought assistance
from the Federal Government and been
refused: Where then has he the assu-
rance that his word will be respected. by
an Administration that ignores State
rights and pays little respect TO State
governors, when he shall ask the disband-
ment Of these men? We have no faith
IN this Administration which is styled the
Government, AMI do not believe it will be
faithful in tspromises to Mr. Curtin, when
it has 50 often deceived the people.
THIS same Government, which affords no
protection for the poor man or his sacred
rights, will be willing to receive our men
for slaughter, but we doubt whether they
viii pay any respect to Mr. Curtin. when
he comes 10 muster them ou of service.

MIR. LINCOLN DISAPPOINTED. 1t az

Mr. LINCOLN DISAPPOINTED. 1t ap-
pears that the rebels did not perform
their part according TO Mr. Lincoln's cx-
pectations. After removing Hooker and
placing our armies in position to give the
rebels fair chance to make successful
raid into Pennsylvania, they only entered
our border taking with them forage and
such other things as they needed. 1t
was expected by this grand scheme that
the rebels would penetrate Pennsylvania
50 far as to arouse the people to action and
cause them to enlist. Upon the strength
of this expectation, Simultaneous procIa-
nations from Mr.. Lincoln, Governor
Curtin and others, calling on the people
to bestir themselves, were issued.

ATTEND TO YOUR TEETH BEFORE TT Is
TOO LATE.-With bitterness do we often
hear persons eXclaim, ''my teeth are all
decayed.' This too may be your misfor-
tune, reader, if you neglect your teeth
Experience has shown that by proper at
tention to the teeth, they may be pre-
served TO lipe old age. 1t behooves those
who are blessed with good teeth to take
care of them. Dr. Belford is in town;
and we advise you to go to him and have
your teeth examined. He will be a better
Judge Of their condition than yourself:
and if you have teeth that are beginning
TO decay, he will plug them SO effectualv
as to prevent further decomposition.

Every member of this Convention should
have the right OF expression upon this
floor that the privilege should be uni
form and universal, extended to every
body, and therefore it is the province of
every man in this chamber TO cast his
vote for the permanent organization. 1t
is our duty under the circumstances to
forego precedent / agree with the gen

present a direct vote upon the question.
