see how il would help them to raise force however
large, which the State was wholly unable to arm, equip
and render effective Too many men had already been
raised and stationed at exposed points, to be sent in the
end to Fort Warren or Governors Island. The Gov
ernor, he said, had not applied to the Convention for
power TO raise additional troops-he had only asked
for more and better arms. He deemed this measure a.
worse than impoitic, its passage would inevitably
lead to conflict between the State and Confederate
authorities. He did not doubt for moment The will
lingness Of the Confederate Government to detail from
the States quota Of troops force adequate to our de-
