beg leave respectfully to ask your prompt
and earnest attention to the address of the Pres

forage
The appeal of the President goes with direct
ness and force to the highest and best motives
by which free people can be Influenced, and,
taken in connection with the plan Of the Sec
rotary of War, renders it impossible that any
just man or good citizen can doubt as to the
path OF duty. AS cannot be among you to take
part in the proposed organization, l would re-
specifically suggest that the county committee,
asked for by the Secretary of War, bs appointed
in each county by the full bench ofjustiees az the
next term OF the county court, and that our very
best men be selected. for trust which will re-
qure intelligence, integrity and public conf
dence.
The county committee might we'll be author

sub, committees, who should have in charge not
only the inquiries suggested by the Secretary OF
War, but the duty OF urging upon our people, in

ic industry insthe production and careful econo.

our arms.'' 7 4s
When our enemies forced this war upon us, /

TO OWNERS OF SLAVES.

We are requested to state for the in
formation of those whose slaves died
while in the service of the Confederate
States at labor on the Notifications, that
the Secretary of War has decided that
no payment can be made for said slaves
under existing laws. The owners ofthese
slaves, therefore, will have to await fur
ther legislation, of which, we are sorry
to say, there is no prospect at the pres
ent session of Congress.

The Governors Special MESSAGE.

We lay this document before our readers in
another column. We wish we could speak of
it in terms of respect; but fraaliness compes
us TO say that it is abominabe in style aud
rotten 20 the core principle. From beginning
to end it is Of the Sylyanus Cobb, Ned Bunt-
line, blood and thunder style Of rhetoric, SO
popular in third-rate newspapers, but never, till
lately. found in grave state papers. 1t will re-
mind many of the political claptrap dshed up
10 q patient audience by some sophomorical
stump speaker in country school-house. Why
did not the Governor get down off of his stills
and speak gravely and decenlly of grave and
decent subject We are aware That he is some
what famoue for chasing the eage in his politi-
cal speeches, but we had hitherto thought him
man Of too correct taste to load down an I'M
portant state paper with cant phrases and po-
htical buncum
But MIR. Curtin's spirit is as tame and cring-
ing as his rhetoric is grandiloquent and bombas-
tic. He says he has ne power to prevent ille-
gal ARRESTS and recommends Joint resolution
asking the general government to do better in
future. Instead Of whining for favors like
whipped spaniel why did he not demand our
rights as sovereign state, and if necessary
invoke the whole posse comitatis of the people to
resist encroachments on the liberty of our cti-
aens from any and every quarter. Such course
on the part of the State Executives, eighteen
months ago, would have checked the high-hand-
ed usurpations of the government, and done sig
nal service for the Union BY keeping public sem
timcnt unit in favor of suppressing the rebel
: lion. According to Gov. Curtin's showing,
those parts OF our State Constitution which so
carefully guard the LIE and liberty of the citi-
zen, are cheat, adelasien, and q lie Heaven
preserve us from the infcton of another Gov
srnor with sach views of States rights as his.
