States for men for s'the defence of the National
Capital" and they, in turn, had issued the most
iniammatory appeals to the people. The Cover
nor of Massachusetts, in his appeal says:
"Men of Massachusetts the wiley and hazard
GUS horde of traitors to the people, to the govern
ment of our country, and to liberty, menace again
the National Capital. They have attacked and
routed Maior-General Banks, and are advancing
on Harper's Ferry, and are marching on Washing
ton. The President calls Massachusetts to
rise once more for its rescue and defence. The
whole active militia will be summoned by general
order, &c, &C."

similar orders for their whole forces ''to organize,
and proceed forthwith to Washington" and in the
