and Gen. Jose Marie Cabral, of the army of

to his couutrymen, urging them to resist

cable to the particularly the
denunclatory part. We quote that portion
of it, for the edfication of our readers:

The GOVERNORS Position IN THE CRISIS
An interview with his Excellency. Cover
nor Downey, on Friday, convinced us that
SOUND Union man was at the head of our
State militia. He always has been sound on
the question, but in these evil days we are
better satisfied when we have conversed with
men upon the subject. since the reception
OF the news that armed rebellion is to be
met by armed force on the part of The
Government. Governor Downey stands
where all true patrols should stand, upon
the broad platform of obedience to the
supreme law of the nation He does not be.
lleve that he is at the head of an independent
sovereign State Government. He will stand
shoulder to shoulder with the Union men of
california in the coming contest that is to
decide whether mouth friends of the Union
can impose themselves upon the masses of
the people only 20 betray them when they
nave obtained power. The Governor has
warm friends in this county. who rely on
him to exert his whole influence against any
coquetting by our friends with suspicious
men, or cloven-footed party Committees
We have no doubt whatever that the course
ne will pursue will be wise and firm.
AS we have, in a previous number. made
mention of the Governors name in con-
nection with the Montgomery amendments
to the School Law, we NAV very nroncrlv
close this mention of him by saving that we
have the very highest authority for stating
that ne has never expressed himself in favor
OF the Dill IN question. nor has he ever an-
thorlzed any other persons whativer to do it

The Evening Post gets of the following article
in relation 10 clergyman of Brooklyn:
Under date Of the 9th instant, the Rev. Henry
J.. Van Dyke, Of Brooklyn, publishes card, in
which he Gays "While holding and teaching the
doctrine Of obedience to government as Chris
tian duty, do not sympathize with the fierce
war spirit which Is abroad in the land and have
not said in the pulpit anything designed to cen
sure or approve the policy aud purposes Of the
present national Administration
Mr.. Van Dyke last winter made himself con-
spcuous rs the author of one Of the most ma
lignant attacks upon northern sentiment ever
uttered id any pulpit. 1t is evident from his
card that his sympathes are still with the slave
holders, and that VI he dared to do SO, he would
pray publicly for the success of the southern
rebellion. When his country IL in peril, and the
people are aroused as one man, this slavery
loving divine denOunces the patriotism OF his
fellow citizens as 'thc fierce spirit of war; anil
tells us tlatly he does not sympatbize with Il.
We have to say, in the first place, that no one
but traitor at heart would thus nisrepresent
and misname the patriotic feeling which now
animates the northern people; audi IN the second
place, that those who are not traitors do 'sympn-
lhize' with the general feeling, and do either
'censure or approve the policy aud purposes o.
| the present national Administration. 1t is evi
dent that Mr.. Van Dyke, while really sympathiz
ing with JEFF. Davis pirates, is too cowardly t.
declare ii in Brooklyn. Let him remember tina
there is part of our country where just Mt pre-
sent people can abuse the North TO their heart
content, praise slavery and rebellion MS ofte
and as loudly MS they please, and If this does nc
satisfy them, can shoulder musket and go
war with the loyal states. The Gulf states nj
open to him, and ohaplains are wanted for III
rebel army.
