He Calls for 800, 900 More Men.
WASHINGTON, July l, 1852.
The following correspondence between the Presi.
dent and the Governors of the several States will
explain itself:
To THE PRESIDENT: The undersigned. Governors
of States Of the Union, impressed with the belief
that the citizens of the States which they respect
fully represented are of one accord in the hearty
desire that the recent successes of the Federal
arms may be followed up by measures which must
insure the speedy restoration of the Union, and
believing that in view of the important military
movements now in progress, and the reduced con-
dtion of our effective force in the field resulting
from the unusual and unavoidable casualties of the
service, that the time has arrived for prompt and
vigorous measures to be adopted by the people in
support of the great interests committed to your
charge, We respectfully request, if it meets with
your entire approval, that you at once call upon
the several States for such a number of men as
may be required to fill up all military organizations
now in the field, and add to the armies heretofore
organized such additional number of men as may
in your judgment be necessary to garrison and hold
all of the numerous cities and military positions
that have been captured by our armies, and to
speedily crush the rebellion that still exists in
several of the Southern States, thus practically
restoring to the civilized world great and good
government. All believe that the decisive moment
is near at hand and to that end the people of the
United States are DESTROYS to aid promptly in furn-
ishing all re-inforcements that you may deem need
full to sustain our government.
