Gov. Hicks and the Legislature,

A committee of citizens of Talbot county
appointed recently to wait on Gov. Hicks for
the purpose of urging him to call the Legs-
lature together, have made report, from
which the following extract is copied:
The Governor stated that from information
on which he relied, and which was derived
from sources not accessible to the people of
the State, he was convinced that the Legisla-

favor Of the Southern States, and send as
ambassadors to those States, gentlemen who

such cooperation is by correspondence
between the Governors of these States, IN
which he is now and has been for some time
engaged. That he is satisfied Mr.. Lincoln
will not attempt coercion, and thinks that we
ought to wait until reasonable time after
his Inauguration to see whether the personal
