JEFFERSON CRY, April II.
S,R:-Your dispatch of the 18th
inst, making a call on me for four
regiments Of men for immediate SER
vice, has been received. There can
be apprehended DO doubt but that
these are intended TO form part Of
the Presidents army to make war
upon the people OF the Seeded
States. Your r,qaisition in my
opinion, is illegal. unconstitulionel,a and
revolutionary in its object, and inbu-
man and diabolicAl, aud cannot be
complied with. Not one man will
the State of Missouri furnish TO
carry on such an unboIy crusade.

have only to say that the Militia Of
Virginia will not be furnished to the
powers at Washington for any such

Of 1795,and will not be complied with.

war, and having done so We will meet
it, in q spirit as determined as the
