The President has deemed it best To

Information, they can best Judge of the
different corps. and which of them can.
with the greatest facility and least ex.
pen<e. be embodied Cor the service for
which they are needed. The President
has no power 10 appoint officers OF vol
nnteers-the law requires that they be
appointed by the proper authorities of the
States IN the manner prescribed by their
laws, The offers Of services, and the
applications for appointments, should
therefore be made to The governors of the
States and Territories
Those who propose TO tender their
services should be FIRST enrolled and or
ganlzed into regiments. or baualions
where a battalion is designated in the
qnota called for from State. When
this Is done, they will tender their SER
vices through the governor Of the State,
who will give notice thereof 10 The
President or Secretary of War. They
will be duly informed OF The acceptance
of their offer by the President. and
notified 10 be ready to be called into
service when the public exigencIes may
require. Their pay will commence when
actually called and mustered into service,
aud not before.
Volunteers are required BY law to fur
ni-h their own clothing, aud if cavalry

Der. that made no attempt to cast odium upon
those who honestly differ from me in opinion.
Chancellor Brown and Michael CARRIER were honest
men and true patriots, and the Wing who would
endeavor to visit the sins of Jimmy Itiiian,son''
on the memory of either would deserve the contempt
of all honorable men. Judge Brown may have in
tended to chastisc the Federal editor and he may
have deserved it, but the Democratic editor of the
same era, if l am not msinforned not only teserv-
ed but actually received many castigation for de-
flaming the characters of honorable men. Enough
of this.-My only object was to call public atten-
ton to the improperly of the attempt to put down
any set Of principles by the endeavor either to as
simulate them with Hartford Convention federalism
on the one hand, or 'sBurr's conspucy'' on the
other. For myself, am as far from being a blue
light federast as the editor himself, and upon
comparison Of opinions it will be found that the
more obnoxious Of the old Federal doctrines approach
more nearly to the principles of the editor than to
those OF '76.
