The Philadelphia Press of. yesterday 10 shame,
into saying:
"HoNoR TO New YoRK! Her Governor ha
acted like man who knows when the time to

brave Pennsyivaniaus, preparing to resist the
invader. This is the true spirit of brotherlJ
love. But while the city of New York is do
Ing so much to save our State, what is the city
of Philadelphia doingp
IL is quite time the Administration press did
justice to Gov. Seymour. II the New York
Times and Tribune aud the Philadelphia Pres.
were to be believed Hora.io Seymour and those
who act with him politically, have been from the
start IN the interest of the "slavehOliets' rebel
lion;" 90 they ttrm it. When, however, an
actual invasion takes place these same Demo-
crats are foundln the very front ranks of these

"Copperhesd" Governor OF New Jersey ia quite
as prompt to send troopa to beat back the enemy
as The most ardent Republican in the land, srd
although Southern Pennsylvania is filled Witt
Democrats who sbhor the Abolition policy ol
the Administration, we have not heard of one
whom has given aid and comfort to the enemy
II there was the sightest particle of truth in the
llbele Of the Press and N. Y. Tines upon the
Democratic party, would not Pennsylvania to
day be in o state of civil war and the enemy
welcomed from every quarter7 .
Yet, in face oil this state of facts, the Post OF
last evening has she bad taste to sneer at she
following teiegraphic announcement:
"HAARIsBuRo, Pa, WEDNEspAY,,

"Great dissatisfaction is expressed at the non,
arrival Of the delegates from the South"
1t adds;
"It was cruel for the Pennsylvania Copper
heads to seduoe this hating oolnn Of delegates
GO far from their homes, and then to leave them
to the tender mercies Of Governor Curtin and
the loyal people of Harrisburg" .t .st u.

We not to give due credit TO the Governors of
this State and New Jersey for their z,al and
promptitude in the criss. When danger was

was who could first and most effscually dis.
charge bis duty as the ruler OF a free aud loyal
commonwealth. They make use of no "if,'
''and'' or "but." In the case OF New Jersey,
indeed, Governor Parker calls upon the people
to come TO the rescue with unprecedented
zeal" The conduct oil these officials will be the
more cordially appreciated, inasmuch as they
do not belong 20 the political PARTY ID which the
national reins OF authority have been com mitsed.
1t is very possible thas by referring to the past
we might fnd that auch men as Governors Sey-
mour and Parker have tlkSn positions not TO our
liking; but as the deeds Of to day are of more
importance than, the sayings Of yesterday, we
prefer TO make conduct rather than professions
