WHAT THE STATES SAY.


enthusiasm which exists in all the States north
of Mason and Dixon, displaying itself in the
furnishing of men and treasurj for the impend-
ing conflict, would seem like bringing away
from Niagara, bucket Of water, as a sample
of the Falls themselves. An indication of their
several action may be gathered below:
Governor Washburne of Maine, teegraphed
to Portland to know how many companies
would be ready to start at twenty-four hours
notice, and he was answered-"All."
New Hampshire responds promptly to the
call of the President with both men and means.
Also her son, Gen. Frank Pierce, (once Presi-
dent of the United States) in speech at Con-
cord, declares his fealty to the Unon and closes
a long speech, in these words;
"Born in the State of New Hampshire, in
tend that here shall repose my bones. would
not live in State the right and honor of which
] was not prepared to defend at all hazards and
to all extremties."
Two or three right actions of the mans heart |
and lips, few years ago, would have been

The Green Mountain boys, as will appear by
a report of the Vermont Militia in another col |
umn, have been more particularly employed
with their "pruning- hooks" and "plow-shares,"
than with weapons of war, of late. But as
Gen. Scott said of New England troops in Mex
leo, "They are slow to get into a fight, but slow
to come out, when once in'-so with liberal
appropriation of money from cur Legislature,
now in session, our men may be relied upon for
the "home stretch"
Massachusetts, has been foremost in sending
men into Washington, and the blood Of her
sons already cries for vengeance on the heads
of those Edomtes, dwelling in Maryland, who
have refused their brethren a passage through
their country. If ever the Prophecies of Oba-
dah find a modern application, we look for it
in the doom of Baltimore.

The appropriations of money are liberal, and

"Little Rhody" sends greeting to the Confed-
eracy-who would like to make of Newport,
the Northern Commercial Metropolis, in place
of New York-in the shape of a regiment of as
C brave soldiers as ever lifted foot, a company

all, the gallant Gov. Sprague, just now elected

The Empire State is alive, and its resources

nance of the Government. The city of New
York, which more than any place may indicate
the feeling amongst all classes, is for the sup
