we would enter into an argument in opposl-

1he facts thus set forth develope two
causes which operated to make Pen nnsylvania
secure soldiefs at less rate-the first Of
which is that the estimates given are not
what it actually cost to secure each soldier,
but what it cost the State. In our Common
wealth, the unparalleled munificence and won
derful patriotic liberality OF our citizens, as
individuals, operated as a help to relieve the
State of much OF her debt; for every million
subscribed by the people was million saved
for the State Treasury. 1t therefore shows
that the generosity of our people exceeded
that of any resident in our sister Common
wealths. Again, the reduced average shown
by us is due to the fact that the patriotism
of our citizens exceeded that of others, an
that the volunteers continued to supply our
quota without the necessity of there being any
bounties paid; hence it was much later that
we commenced to buy soldiers than it was
in operation in other portions OF our country.
There is, therefore, in the published table,
cause OF great pride. 1t demonstrates the
patriotism and the individual generosity of
the residents OF the Keystone State, and is a
testimony to the ability and economy with
which our Treasury was managed by the
officer selected for so important ste wardshp
The total debt contracted by all the States
amounts to 100000. Each Legislature
has been pettioning Congress to secure the
assumption on the part of the United States
of her particular debt. The idea that the Gov
ernment would aGI to its own three thousand
millions five hundred millions more was pre-
posterous. In order to compromise and be
equable, it was decided that there shall be
reimbursed by the United States to each of
the States that furnished troops to the Union
army, and also to the several Territories, and
the District of Columbia, sum equal to fifty
five dollars for each man duly entered into
military or naval service of the United States
during the late war, the usual number being
reduced to uniform standard of three years.
service.
This would give to Pennsylvania fifteen
millions OF dollars, according to the published
table. This would leave us a debt of but
thirty-nine millions, which is certainly very
small considering the amount of assistance
rendered by our State. We have thus in sta
tistics. in refutation of all of the ISLANDERS
heaped upon our State by the New York
journals, an official declaration that Penn
sylvania has exceeded in patriotism, liberality,
and loyalty, any other State in the American
Union.

Some More Tinkering with the Constitu-

"ResolUed by the Senate and House of Repre-
sentatlves of America in Congress Assembled,
That the title which above all others is con.
stantly conceded to this country throughout the
world, and Which is IFS proper t,Cle, as the para

title of America, shall hereafter supersede the
term of The Unired States OF America through
the adoption OF the following words aC the end
OF the first arucle OF said Constitutions
do also ordain that the United States OF America
shall hereafter be known and styled America"
Such was the resolution introduced by Mr..
ANDERSON, some days since, and which the
New York Times intimates will meet the ap-
proval of large number, if not majority of
the House. WilkeS' Spirit of the Times
says:-
'There is, consequently, nothing poetical, un.

DISTINGUISHED ARRIVALS.-The Com
rlittee of the House OF Representatives upon
Naval Affairs arrived at the Continental last
evening" The following gentlemen compose this
Committee William A. Darling, of New
York; Francis C. lie Blond of Ohio; Charles A.
Eldridge of Wisconsin; Augustus Brandegee, of
Connecticut; Charles z. Phelps, of Marylaud
and William D. Kelley, of Pennsylvania. Hon.
Alexander Fl. Rice OF Massachusetts,; John A.
Griswold, of New York; and Frederick A. Pike,
of Maine the other members of the Committee
are not with the delegation, important business
OBTAINING them in Washington. The Assistant
Secretary of the Navy, Captain G. V. Fox, is also
one of the party. How comes it that quite a
number of the Pennsylvania Representatives
who are at present in the city were omitted in
the list of invitations upon this gay and festive
occasion. Messrs. O'Neill, Myers, and NJ
Russell Thayer could have thrown some
light upon the subject if they had been
invited to accompany the delegation. This
morning the whole delegation started for
League Island, to inspect the iron-cads,
and also to make an examination of
the locality as site tor a naval depot. As this
is question in which the citizens OF Philaael-
phia are deeply interested, the visit th Naval
Committee is one of great Importance. The
location OF the contemplated Navy Yard has been
thoroughly discussed, and we believe that
League Island is better adapted to the purpose
than any other yet suggested. The result of
this investigation of the Committee will be en-
braced in the report which will shortly be pre-
sented to Congress.

"THE ANGLo-SAxON, Latin, and Greek
races" says the Norfolk Old Dominion, care
the only people who have attained the intelli-
gence necessary to construct republican in
stitutions upon the basis of popular elections.
The Greeks and Romans failed from the effects
of the poison of iactional hatred and sectional
power. Our Republic can be annihilated by
the same causes, and liberty, with the bless
ings of peace, be lost in an American edition
of the dark days Of Europe. To let the negro
alone is to secure not only his welfare. but
the blessings of free institutions to the whites
and blacks alike, making one dependent upon
the other in the battle of life"
Of coursel We perfectly agree with our
contemporary, that ifeverybody would only let
the negro alone, he would rise by example,
and be elevated by contact with the more
educated white. But if his friends are will
ing to let him take care of himself his foes
are not. The very men by whom it is sup
posed that he will be dignifled by association
with, or as our friend romantically expresses
it, be dependent upon in the battle of life"
are desirous OF crushing out every effort to
improve, e,ofpreventing, the very advancement to
accomplish which the Old Dominion urges that
the negro be left alone. If the enemies and
tyrants OF the black will only leave him alone,
his friends will do likewise; but while he is
oppressed, simple Justice compels us to de-
fend him from danger.

Its organization was an experiment, which has
proved a perfect success. The conduct of its

w hat Each State has Done for the Union,
and What il Cost

In the morning papers was published the
report of a special committee appointed for
the purpose Of preparing data setting forth
the amount of debt incurred by each State for
war purposes, the number of soldiers supplied,
and the sum which it was the duty Of the
United States Government to reimburse to
the various Commonwealth in order to
relieve them from too heavy burden in

ing facts, which are cause Of State pride
to every resident within our borders. 1t is a
bright triumph for our Commonwealth to see
her name second in the list in point of volun-
teers, yet third in point of cost. We will
quote the six highest States:- -
