HARRISBURG, August 9.-The extra
session of the Legislature met to-day
Gov. Curtin, in his message, callson the
Legislature to take prompt action for
the defense of the State. He speaks of
the support rendered by Pennsylvania
to the national government, and says
the State has fulfilled all of her obliga-
tions. Pennsylvania has right to be
defended by the national forces as part
of the common country. After attending
to the several invasions of the State by
the rebels, he asks, how could an agri-
cultural people in an open country be
expected to rise up and beat back hostile
forces which had defeated the organized
veteran armies of the government. He
adds: 1t is, of course, expected that the
inhabitants of an invaded country will
do what is in their power to resist inva-
ders, and facts will clearly show that
the people of the invaded counties have
not failed in their duty. He severely
condemns the sneers and SCOTS which
have been thrown on the people of
Pennsylvania by the newspapers and
citizens Of other States. - =.
He quotes letter addressed by. him
and Gov. Bradford, of Maryland, to
President Lincoln, asking that recruits
raised by the State shall be credited to
the quota en- the last call made and be
armed, eauippea and Supplied as other
volunteers in the service, r., -,a~f, -,
