Gov. Kings ProcEamlatiOn--AK Ke-
ward offered for IEF. D9rr.
There is no less excitement in our commu-
nifty to-day, than yesterday. That movement
out of town has been contemplated, and that
arms and ammunition have been collected and
are now collecting, there can be no manner oI
doubt 1t is impossible to get at the exact and
true state of things. There is every reason to
believe that movements on our border are moi
otherwise than unpacifc in their character,
though by no means open and above board.
The following letter was received by gen.
lleman in this city, we'll known by all our citi-
zens. 1t shows that The statements we have
made in regard TO the collection of arms, are
not unGounded, fully corroboratng every state
meni made by us in the business. Suffrage
meeting was held in the village of Cepachei,
last Saturday, when II persons were in at
tendance.

Col. BLoDGET Sir, | passed this day
through Springfield, and saw six twelve pound
cannon, marked for Mr. West of Providence,
when on enquiring, found that he wanted them
for the Suffrage party of r. l., and, therefore,
thought it best TO write you, as you are the
only man of my acquaintance in the city, to let
you know something of what they were about.
Yours in haste, W****|" Las.
