Declination or Adj. GEN. Baker.

Decun0t1On Oh AOJs Gcns Hakcr
N. b. Baker, Union nominee for Governor
of Iowa, attic Peoples convention Of the
2Sth ult., has declined to accept the honors
urging that an acccptation of the position
would impair the success of other labors he
has undertaken. He throws his good will
however, entirely into the Union movement,
adding, "thc sooner partisanship is forgot
ten, and union and patriotism becomes our
rallying cry, the sooner will rebellion he
crushed, the Union restored, and the flag
Of our country again be respected on every
sea and honorcd on every foot Of the globe. "
We are informed that the most persistent
efforts on the part Of the State administra-
ton have been resorted to, to drive Adj. Ba-
ker from acceptance of the nomination from
the people, and thus force the voters of
Iowa to make choice between the two par
tisan tickets now i'm the field headed re-
spectively by Gov. Kirkwood and Judge
Mason. We give the conspirators joy for
their efforts.
The Union Central Committee on learn
ing of Bakers declination conferred the
honor of the nomination upon Hon. Lincoln
Clark Of Dubuque, who we learn has also
declined. 1t has been suggested that the
committee will confer the nomination for
Governor upon Lieut.. Col. Merritt, of the
Iowa LIST. If he will accept, there is con-
siderable hope left yet for the Union State
ticket, although the time for canvass will
necessarily be quite limited.

Once Norc Hear The Noble Andrew
Johnson,

Among those at the South, who still hold
out for the Government and the Union,
none have commanded our respect and
sympathy more than Senator ANDREW
JOHNSON of Tennessee. Two weeks since
he made a speech at Columbus, Ohio.
Thus he describes the horrors of secession
in Tennessee:
While yet beseeching them to act upon
their own doctrine, and let US alone. the
hoofs Of their cavalry were indenting our
plains, and the tramp of their troops was
about our homes And yet there are those
who set up the pulling cry, Let there be
no coerc on What a secessionist declar.
ing against coercionl Why, God bless
you, friends, they never got anything ex-
cept by coercion. They coerced tennessee
Georgia. Alablma and Virginia out of the
Union. They attempted il ia Maryland

attempting il IN keniucky. and there the
People will stop il Their whole career
has been one of coercion, of outrage. in

The Governors Message.

We are graifed in being able TO give
our readers the modest and excellent mes
sage Of Gov. Holbrook this week. 1t dis
cusses matters Of State policy with com
mendabIe breyity and clearness Of thought,
and in the whole is an unpretending docu-
ment which the people of Vermont will
endorse with great unaninmiiy. The Gov
ernor, we are glad to perceive, favors the
raising Of two more regiments at once.
This is right. Let us give our whole en-
orgies to the preservation of our govern
ment. Far better that we should spend the
last dollar we have, if thereby we save the
government. We hope the legislature will
adopt his suggestion and put forth the means
and proper authority for two more regi-
ments to be sent into the field as soon as
possible. The governor is for vigorous
prosecution of the war, of course. The
message is entirely free from partizan is
sues and pays just tribute to the general
union Of parties at the last election. As
this was the ground on which we advocated
his election, we are of course graiified to
see it thus confirmed. We have no heart,
while our country is periled by traitors,
to engage in party strife, believing as we
do, that all our strength should be thrown
against the enemies Of our government,
and that party predictions must, in this
hour of our country's peril, be offered q
sacrifice upon the altar Of our country's
cause"
There are other points Of practical good
common sense in the message, but we have
no room TO discuss them further this week
nor is it needed. Our readers can well
judge for themselves. The inaugural prom.
ises well for Gov. Holbrook and his admin
is.ration.

CT Our readers cannot fail to be inter-
ested in the matter we give them this week,
though the variety is not so great as at
other times. On first page will be found
the speech of Gen. Butler at Montpelier
capital good one, by the way, and in
which it will be noticed he says that if nee
essary, we must arm every man, " blue,
black, white or green" Then there is also
an important article from Mr.. Bronson.
Always democrat of the strictest and most
conservative order, il is the more important
on that account. Both the above person.
ages having all their lives been staunch
democrats, the cotere of sympathizers with
the traitors among US at home, can not, with
any good grace, sing their old stereotyped
song of /" Abolitionism."
On our inside we give up our space to
an extract from speech recently made by
the noble Senator from Tennessee. After
reading it, we felt that we could not deny
ourself the privilege of giving it to our
readers Immediately. He too, is a demo-
crat who supported, and carried his State
for the traitor Breckenridge, last year. We
also give considerable space to correspond
ence from Montpelier, and last, but by no
means least, the excellent message of Gov
ernor Hol5rook.
