MD1AAAPoLIs, April 25.-Gov. Morton de-
liVered his message to the Legislature this hi:
ternoon. He recommends al appropriation
cf 81 co., for the purchase of arms and mu-
nitions Of war, and for the organization Of
such portion Of the militia as nay be deemed
necessary for the present emergency, he
recommends the enactment Of law defining
and furnishing treason against State. In al.
luding to the present troubles, be
says: We should approach tue contest
not IS partieans, but as patriots, who have east
aside every selfish consideration. When danger
threatens our country, the voice Of party
should be hushed aud forgotten. Let Us rise
above these paltry considerations, and inausu-
rate an era when there shall be but one party,
and that for the country. The strug.
gle Is enc into which We enter with
the deepest reluctance. We are
States by the deatest ties. They are our bro
thers; but if they regard not these tender rels-
tions, and put themselves in the altitude of
enemies, they must bear the responsibility.
But while I dep1ore deeply the character of
the contest in which we are engaged, we
should meet it IS men. To our sister State
Kentucky, we turn with hope and affection.
appeal to her by ties Of common kindred to
maintain the Constitution and Union.

NO BOXING WITH cImLErs.

Its proposed by some members Of the
Legislature to issue only tho malaions Of war
bonds which would be little more than dol
larto each inhab!taut, with an interest Of siz
cents per snnum. The empire State Of the
Northwest must do better than that. She
must put her brawnty shoulder to the
wheel in downright earnest. Five millions
Is the smallest figure that should be scri-
ously thought Of The magnitude Of the
contest, and the vital character of the is
sues involved, demand that Illinois shall
put forth er. strength. Let her set an ex.
ample worthy OF her greatness, resources
and LOYALTY.

The Government is mere and more en-
barressed by The evidences Of actual and
incipient treason which are daily manifest
in the officers Of the army and navy, from
the slave States Hardly one Of them
is to be relied on; hence few or
none Of them can be placed in po-
sitlons where their treachery can profit
the enemy. Much wonder has been ex-
pressed ut the burning OF the Government
vessels and other property at the Ports
mouth Navy Yard. Men hare sharply
criticised The conduct of those in command
in that quarte1-haye asked why the
property was not defended, why the YES
sells were not towed out. Proper inquiries
that deserve an answer; and here it is AL
the officers at the Navy Yard, save Com
usodo1e McAuley and two Paymasters,
prove TO have been secessionists whose res
ignations had already been rendered to til :
proper Department.. Need we not, inst cad
ofblzming loyal men for destroying proper
ty, be thankful that enough were loyal to
burn it up and save 1t from the enemy?
