EXTRA SEssIoN.-Gov KIRKwooD has not
as yet deemed it necessary to convene the
Legislature, but has taken it upon himself to
assume the responsibility in the organization
and equipment Of Iowa's quota of men, and
save the State the expense of an extra session.
But as the Dubuque Times says, late advices
from Missouri seem to indicate that under
the influence of its Disunion Governor that
State will probably follow the course of the
Secession States, and that we will have a
troublesome foe upon our Southern border.
If these probabilities should be confirmed by
events within the next two o. three days, the
duty would devolvc upon the Executive OF
this State of raising militia force at least
five times larger than that already called for,
and to accomplish this, we can hardly see
how he could avoid converting the General
Assembly in extraordinary session.

too greedy Of gain to cherish generous and
lofty aspirations. To-Day yindcates us from
that reproach and demonstrates that beneath
the scum and Stag Of forty years Of peace,
and in spite of the insidious approaches Of
corruption, the fires Of patriotic devotion are
still intensely burning. The echoes OF the
cannon fired at Sumter have barely rolled
over the Western hills ere they arc drowned
in the shouts Of indignant rrcemen, demand
ing to be edagainst the traitors who have plot
cd to diyid, and destroy the country. Party
lines disappear-party cries arc hushcd or
cmptied OF meaning-men forget that they
were Democrats or Republicans in the newly
aroused and Intense consciousness that they
are Americans. The ordeal now upon us
may cost our country many lives and much
treasure, but its fruits will be richly worth
them all. But few weeks have elapsed since
babbing demagognes were talking of an
Eastern, a Central North Western, and a
Pacific as well as a South Western and Bor-
der-State Confederacy: let them now be
silent little and note the cost Of dividing the
Union barely once before they talk further of
shivering it into five or six fragments. The
experience will be conclusive Let but this
trial be sur,nounted, and no one will again
plot the dissolution Of the Union for at least
half a ccntury.-N Y. Tribune.

The Cincinnati Enquirrr responds to the in
quirv of friend who is opposed to coercion
and asks its advice as to his duty at the pres
cnt time. The rule laid down by the Enquir
er is that which must govern the citizens OF
Ohio and the other States of the Union. The
Constitutional executive Of the Union has,
by virtue of the power and discretion vested
in him, called for the assistance of the volun
tccr militia Of the State, to aid in the main
tcnance ithc Union, to vindicate the nation
al authority. The State has responded to
the CALL and the citizen is bound, not only to
passive obedience, but to active support,
even though he may have been opposed to
to the policy of the National Exeuctivc.-
| The issue being one to be determined by arms
humanity demands that it 10 as brief as posi-
BILE; and to this end the unity ofthe people is
all important. Differences as to the policy
and propricty OF these measures can DO dis
cussed after the contest is ended, and final
adjustment OF the grave questions now in is
sue has been accomplished. The following
is the article from the Enquirer:
A friend wishes to know on what grouuds
he, being opposed to coercion and to the
war policy Ufthe Administration, can consist.
emily advocate the raising OF troops under the
President Is proclamation. The answer is q
rendy one. We owe allegiance to the Fed
eral Government, and are in duty bound to
sustain protect and defend it, without any
reference whatever to the person who may
administer it. so long as we are citizens of
that Government that Observation-Disclosures and
we are bound by legal and patriotic obliga-
tions to stick to it in all emergencies And
we are bound TO do that whether the policy
of the Administration is agreeable to us or
not. That name duly attaches to our allegi
ancc to our State as well as to the General
! Government. While we acknowledge that
allegiance and accept the benefit of the res
pectivo Government five refuse to support
them in timo ofwar, and whentheir very exist
ence is in peril, tho charge of treason would
Justly attach to us, It's the duty that springs
from our allegiance as citizens that makes. 10
! highly proper for OF non. coercion friend to
give "a hearty support to the General and
State Governments in the p 'esant emorgcn
b, and to oppose all cndcavors to weaken
or destroy either.
1t bchooycs every citizen to prepare for
the defense Of his government and State
| No one should be backward in contributing
whatever his means snd ability can furnish
toward tho defense of both. That is q duty
which patriotism demand, and all should be
aeady to perform it'-StdteGman.
