It was only the other day that the Republican papers proved that it would cost South Carolina six millions a year to keep up a force of ten thousand volunteers, just the amount on which, according to this highly probable statement, Pennsylvania pPennsylvania proposes to raise one hundred thousand!

She would do a good deal better to employ that amount, if she can raise it, in building works of public improvement, instead of preparing to attack other States. It must never be forgotten that when we hear of one of those Northern States arming, it is not for purposes of
