The Advertiser, adds, by way Of comment
"We give place this bold and manly declaration
of independence with much pleasure. Taken in
connexion with the similar testimonials that
have in from all quarters, it serves to corrohorate
confidence in the patriotism and integrity of the
people and TO prove that they would sacrifice
all personal and political attachments than sustain
their chosen rulers contrary the true interests
and honor Of the country. This is the spirit o.
freemcn-the genuine American spirit which wrought
such miracles Of yalor on the fields Of Monmouth and
Yorktown

As TO the causes OF TINS novel proceeding on the
part of the Governor it scarcely credible, that
the petty quarrel between two or dozen individuals
about petty political calumny could have prompted
him to the high handed measure, which he adopted
He could not from such circumstance, have appre-
hcnded he states in his letter any serious disturb
the public peace But that statement he sub
stantally contradicts in his communication with the
Town Council In this he stated, that he appealed TO
the Military TO protect himself and family. To this
the public prints and the whole current of testimony
Of the first citizens Of Tallahassee give fiat
diction. The Governor, we hear is not popular. He
superseded the Gallant Call by resort to dsreputable
arts, and is lcagued with faction, at with the
true interests of the Territory and which makes "A
spoil of the substance of the people lie is regarded
as the tool of his master at Washington and in the
words of the Florida Star, us the unwelcome ruler
over an unwilling people" But nobody seeks to do
him personal injury The people would rejoice at his
removal but they would disdan resort TO violent
measures to compass their ends.
The Star hints that other causes than those assign

huence in prompting the appeal TO arms. We copy
