Try. Il becomes ths true friends Of civil liberty
aud the improvement OF the condition Of man, 10
look with vigilaul and scruliuizing eye to the
consequences and enduring influences Of the /
great events which are beginning 10 open upon US.
On the 2Oihd dayof May last lreceiycd through
the War Department, a requisiton from the Pres
ident Of the United SRtes for three regiments of
volunteers, Infantry or RIilemen, for the service
OF the United States, in the pending war with the
Republic Of Mexico. This call OF the President
was made in obedience to the act Of 18th Of May,
'l6, which had passed both branches Of Congress
by an almost unanimous vote. The standing for
ces OF the United States then engaged in the war,
were believed 10 be in imminent peril, and the
natioHa, defence near the seat Of war was suppo-
sed 70 require immediate assistance from the vol
unteer militia Of the States. Under the high re-
sponslbiiiries imposed upon me, did not consid-
er myself at liberty TO disregard This call upon the
patriotism Of the State. However much The eX
isIence Of the war may be deplored, and however
great the difference Of opinion about the unioru-
maze events which led to it, when the State was
duly called upon under the authority Of the Con-
s.itUtion and laws Of the United States, for mill
tary all, the solemn iuiulctions Of duty imposed
upon HE as the Executive officer Of the State, as
weualsvery dictate OF pauio.ism imperatviely

Eeton on my par. to comply with the call, in the
rua meaning and spirit Of the Constitution. II

by the national authorities, be at libery TO dsre-

! Il. itself as TO tho necessity and expediency Of
the war, either 10 withhold It's assistance from The
/ United States, or to afford only a lal,ering, un-
willing and Intellectual aid, the supremacy Of oHr
systcm Of government must soon be at an end,
aud the constitutional munimenls Of our national
defence prove unavaling. When the emergency
Of war with foreign nation IS actually exist

convenience or pccunIary sacrifice should pre-
vent the performance Of those high duties of pa

eracy, as well as every citizen Of the Republic,
owes ~ he country and 10 the cause Of civil lib.
crty.
Upon the receipt Of this call made by the Pres
ldent, prompt and efficient measures were taken
to raise the volunteer military force REQUIRED from
this state. And, on The l7jh day Of June, 184G,
