SiT-gn reply 70 yopr letter of the 18th
inst, have Il G honor TO inform you that il
Is not contemplated to make any further call
on the Executive of your State for any vol
unieer or militia force with view to the ex~

| have the honor TO be, very respectfully |
your obedient servant, W. l.. MARCY,
Secretary ofwar.
We suppose that here was sufficient |
ground to infer that the Government.inten.
Ided TO pause in its operations, and to abide |
the session ,ol Congress, before adopting
any additional hostile measures.-Th such
was its intention, we have not the slightest
doubt, however information since received
may have given occasion for change Of
lplan. If the Wing press has been deceived
it has been by the intimation Of the Govern.
ment paper; and the only reason we can see
for the Unions fling al the "FederaI press"
is that psess has placed confidence in the
indications Of the FEDERAL orggn as TO
the policy Of the Government.

lion, says:
"In tho recent campaign, we have stood
firmly on the great issues of National and
State policy. We have advocated the pro-
$ lection Of American Industry, and sound
uniform currency adapted alike 10 the wants
= ofthe government and the interests of tn
people. We have advocated liberal bens
e efcent system Of internal Improvements, and
Just, wise and economical administration
, Of the Government.
We have earnestly deprecated the ill-tim-
cd resort 10 Free Trade speculations and
y crude financial experiments, the accumula>
ton Of vast national debt, the lawless spirit
lis of conquest, and the daring assumption of ar
btray power

CIV of the present Administration, we lave
placed in bold relief the principles and exaI
10 ted qualities of Henry Clay. Around hin
