The Governors Of the loyal States have
theoretically set about complying with
the call Of the President for three hun
dred thousand more volunteers, and meas
ures are being perfected 70 raise The re-
quisite force with all possible expedition.
The proclamations Of the Governors OF
New York, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania
and Maryland have already appeared in
our columns. Below will be found the
response Of other loyal States.
Governor Washburn, Of Maine, in his
address to the people Of that State, says
An additional number Of troops arc
required by the exigency Of the public
service; and if raised immediately IL is
believed by those who have the best
means Of knowledge that the war viii be
brought 20 n speedy and glorious issue.
OF this number the President of the
United States desires and expects that
Maine should furnish her proportion or
quota. Our gallant and patriotic State
has done her whole duty in the past, and
she will not falter nor fail on the present,
nor the future, that her material interests
may be protected and advanced; that
tranquility and peace may be restored
throughout the land; that the Coastitu-
ton and the Union, which have been to
us all the sources of unmeasured bless
ings may be preserved; that liberty, OF
which they were the inspirations, and are
the selected guardians, and the light of
one great example may shine brighter
and brighter to guide, to cheer and to
bless the nation.
Governor ToD Of Ohio, is no less pa
triotic. He desires 10000 volunteers
within forty days:
Liborally and CALAMITY as Ohio has
heretofore responded 20 The calls of the
President, he has ever been assured that
we had but TO know that further aid was
needed from us to insure a prompt an
swer TO any further calls he might make
upon us. This knowledge we now have
and the call has also been made,
And now, citizens Of Ohio, one and all
! shall the call be responded to? Some
thing whispers me that with one voice
yog say it shall be answered.
Arouse, then, and let every man be able
TO say that he has done his duty.
There is work for all to do. The aged
can stimulate the young; the wealthy con
tribute TO the wants and necessities oil
the destitute; and the ladies, who have
already done so much, and whose kind
hearts will prompt them in the continu-
ance Of their good work, can encourage
by their noble example, both old and
young in the performance of the great
duty. What is wealth, or even life
worth, it, to preserve either, we have e
confess TO theworld that we are unabl,
to maintain our glorious Government?
Governor BUcEIEGHAM, Of Connecticut
issued a proclamation calling for volun,
teers on July 3. He asks for six or NOR,
regiments, and says
Our troops may be held in check ant
our sons die on the battle-feld-bu th,
cause Of civil liberty must be advanced
the supremacy Of the Government mus
be maintained. Prompt and decisive &C
tion will be economy in men and money
By our delay the safety Of our armies
even Of the nation, may be imperiled
The rebellion, contending with the des
peration Of a hopeless and wicked cause
must be met with equal energy. Clos,
your manufactures and workshops
turn aside from your farms and your bu
siness-leave for awhile your famile
and your homes-meot face TO face tn
enemies of Your liberties.
