A PRoCLNMATIoN.

Whc' cas-, seven of tic States formerly con,
posing part Of the United States have. hv
o!ly OF their people, solc,nniy resumed the
powers granted by them TO the CnitcI States.
anu have framed Il Constitution and orrauix.L
Government for themselves. to which the pco
pic OF those States are yielding willing obc-
dl"ncc, aud have so nntiiicd the President of the
United States by NIL the formalitics incident TO
such action, and thereby become to the United
States u separate independent and foreign
power; hnd whereas. the Constitution of the
lhiteh States has invested Congress- with tho
sole power " to declare war; and until such
declaration is made, the President has no a,l-
thority to call for an extraordinary force to
wage oHehslVe war against any furciSn power :;
nnd whereas, On the 18th inst the President
oi the United States, in plain violation Of the
Constitution, has issued Proclamation culling
i"r force OF seventy five thousand men, to
cause the laws Of the United States TO be duly
executed over people who arc no longer n
! part of the Union, and in said Proclamation
threatens to exert this unusual force to compel
obedience to his mandates; md whereas, the
General Assembly of Virginia, by minority
! approaching to entire ununimity, has declared
Ut ns last session. that the State of virginia
would consider such an rXoriiun of force as n
virtual declaration of war, to be resisted by all
| the power nj the command of Virginia and

which 'pcrate to produce this proclamation

exercise her nnloubted right to resume the

the honor of Virginia that IN improper cxcr.

! rcpcllcd: Therefore; |, John Letchcr, Gov

of the State their organization and numbers,

HuMBUG ADVERTISEMENTS.

We would call the attention of our readers
to- the humbug advertisement of ,'.Revcrenar
scoundrel in Williamsburg, N. Y. This man
advertises under et least half dozen different
names with different advcrtsements and diff.
ferent pretentions. but certainly for the same
object. that of, defrduJing the suffering ard
unsuspecting of their money. We say openly
and aboveboard'that these "ReverenI" gentry
who profess to have such an earneet desire to
relieve suffering humanity that they wiiiaafnisss
free of cost. all directions. &c, for the Cure oi
consumptions. ,Asthmn, etc, are iapostc1s ~
the 5Iaskcst hue. =,
We hope that mono of our readers who
chance to see the printed declarations Of these
rogues will allow themselves to be gulIed of
their money by them, or be induced to drink
the very drugs Of death prepared by the
greatest thieves and murderers now unhung.
