THE GOVERNOR OF ILLINOIS
SaYs If grievances to any portion Of our confede-
ration have arisen within the Union, let them be
redressed within the Union; if unconstitutional
laws encroaching upon the guaranteed rights Of
any Oh our blstSE DthttbI uoNS iOhhu u pi"S0 SpNh
oar statute books, let them be removed; if preju-
dice aud alteration toward any Of our fellow coun-
trymen has fastened upon our minds, let it be dis
missed and forgotten, let US be just to ourselves
and each other, allowing neither threats to drive
US from what we deem to he our duty, nor pride
OF opinion to prevent US correcting wherein We
may have erred
TnE q ,EERSoR OF MICHIGAN
Denies that the Personal Liberty laws have had
the effect to prevent the execution Of the Fugitive
Slave Law in O single instance; but whenever ap-
peal has been made to the Courts to enforce that
law, it has been done in good faith. lie invites
judicial scrutiny into the legislation of tho State,
and is willing to abide By the result, but is not
willing the State should be Inundated by compli-
ence with the demand to repeal these laws accom-
panied with threats of violence ard war.
TIE GOVERNOR OF MISSOURI.
Says that Missouri will remain in the Union so
long as there is hope of maintaining the guaran-
tees of the Constitution, but il northern states are
determined to prevent slaveholding states from be-
ing on an equal footing, by preventing the entrance
of slaves into the territories, admitting no more
slave states into the Uuion. and persisting in null
lifying and pervsrting the Constitution in reference
to slave property, then they themselves practically
abandon the Union and cannot expect the South to
submit to such a government.
The Governor opposes eOercisonj says the pros
poet of maintaining the government by force may
lead to o consolidated despotism, but never to
union. Our governments based upon justice and
equality. Standing armies, mercenary soldiers

dies for violated constitutions and laws. The first
drop of blood shed in a war Of aggression upon a
sovereign State will arouse a spirit which will re-
suit in the overthrow Of the entire federal system.
THE GOVERNOR OF TENNESSEE
Ayers that the remedy for the present evils exist
only in Constitutional amendment, on refusal
whereof Tennessee should maintain her equality
in or independence out of the Union. He recon-
mends the organization Of the militia Of the State,
and the purchase O: arms. He leaves the Bank
suspension penalties to the discretion of the Legis'
lature.
THE GOVERNOR OF vIR5JN1l,
Blames the Free States for the present condition
of affairs, and if the Union is disrupted, upon
them rests the solemn responsibility. lie alludes
at length to their aggrcssions, and Gays they have
the power 10 end the strife and restore confidence.
Will they DO itP He awaits their response, not
without apprchensions. lie says overt actions
ehould be based upon wrongs done our own peo-
Die. He proposes a State Convention, and suggests
that q committee of two of the most discreet
Statesmen visit the Legislatures Of the States
which have passed Personal Liberty bills, and in
eist on unconditional repeal, except the New Eng
lara States also, we must have a proper and ef
iecfive guarantee for protection OF slavery in the
District of Columbia an equality IN the States
and Territories must be fully recognized, and the
rights Of persons and property adequately protect
ed and secured that We must be permitted to 60
through the Free States and Territories unmolest'
ed, and if q slave be abducted, the State wherein
il is lost must pay its value like guarantees that
The transmission of slaves through the non-slave-
holding States, by land or water, shall not DO in
tersered with ; the passage and enforcement Of
right laws for the punishment for such persons IN
che Free States as organize, and aid in any mode
whether in organized companies or not with 8 view
to assail the Slave States and incite the slaves to
iosursection. The General Government to be de-
prived of the pow er Of appointing to local offices
in Slave States persons hostile to their interests
and their institutions.
The Governor further says he will regard the at
tempt Of the Federal troops to pass across Virgin
ia for the purpose of cOercing a Southern State as
40 act Of invasion, and must be repealed. He is
not withons the hope that the present difficulties
will find a satisfactory solution. Let New England
and Western New York be sloughed of, ard lei
them form an alliance with Canada.
