Washington, Oct. IA.
To His Excellency the Governor
of the State of New York:
Sir,-Ihe present instruction had not
even revealed itself in arms when diSloyal
citizens FASTENED to foreign countries to in
woke their Intervention for the overthrow of
the government and the destruction of the
Federal Union. These agents are known to
have made their appeals TO some of the more
important States without success. 1t is not
likely, however, that they will remain con-
tent with such retusals. Indeed it Is under
stood that they are induStriously engineering
to accomplish their disloyal purpose by de-
grees and by Indirectly taking advantage Of
the cmbarrasments Of agriculture, manutac-
lures and commerce in foreign countries re-
suting from the instruction they have inau-
guratcd at home. They seek to involve our
common country in controversies with States
with which every public interest and every
interest of mankind require that 1t shall re-
main in relations Of peace, amity and friend
ship | am able to state for your satisfaction
that the prospect for any such disturbance is
now less serious than it has been at any pre-
yous period during the course of the insur-
recton. 1t Is nevertheless necessary now as
II has hitherto been to take every precaution
that is possible to avoid the evils of foreign
countries to be superinduced upon those Of
the civil commotion which we are endeayor-
ing to cure.
One Of the most obvious Of such precau-
tons is that our ports and harbors on the
las and lakes should be put in a condition
ct complete defence, for any nation may be
aid to voluntarily incur danger IN tempes-
taous seasons when it fails to show that it has
~heltered itself on every side from which the
storm might come Tue measures which the
Executive can adopt in this emergency, are
such only rs Congress has sanctioned, and
for which it has provided.
