We publish to-day the responses OF the differ
emit Governors Of the Northern States, As far as
they have reached US, in reply to the call of the
President, through the War Department, for
dfty thousand additional troops to supply the
places of the killed, the wounded and tho sick,
and 10 form reserve in the event Of disaster.
1t viii be seen that the Governors Of Pennsyl-
ysnia New Jersey, Illinois, New York and
Vermont have nobly responded to the call.
From Massachusetts, is hoard the croaking, dis
ccrdant note Of disloyalty. Her abolition Go

England, q piece Of effrontery which simply
makes "John A. Andrew" ridiculous, in view
New York have answered in totally different
tone atone Of cheerful loyalty and devotion to
the cause Of the Union.
Who or what il Mr.. Andrew, unless In his
official capacity In that capacity is he author
lied to speak for Massachusetts and all New
England or does he presume to take upon
himself In so serious matter to speak for 80
many millions Of people without their consent.
II he has assumed such . responsibility as this
same stamp az Fremont, Hunter sid Wads-
worth, and he ought to be held to account for
his action. He han set an example of incipient
rebellion. He has begun whore Letcher of
Virginia, Ellis of North Carolina, jackson of
Missouri Harris Of Tennessee. and McGoggin
Of Kentucky began. Where they ended we
all know. That he is strongly disposed to
follow their example to the end Of the chapter
we have not the slightest doubt. Fortunately,
his power is not equal to his will But the
State Of Massachusetts,, for its own sake, ought
to repudate his response. The Legislature
ought 10 do so, and the people ought to come
forward in public meetings TO denounce him
and the traitorous aboitionists of the State
with whom he fratcrnizes. They cannot do it a
moment too soon.

are too many proofs of the fact to admit OF any
rational doubt on the subject. They are, there
