nent papers in the interior Of the State
express much Indignation at the action of
the Federal Government, in calling so
large military force into the field, es-

border slave States. But no i'll temper
was manifested, and less disposition to
run the State into rash indefensible meas
ures, than has been evinced in some 9th.

lists in some sections, but the prevailing
sentiment is for coalition and peace.
