FstsoD crsizeas Having very frequently
been solicited. within the last few months a.
by men OF oil classes, both in and out OF
the army TO become candidate Tor
Governor or this State, | have heretofore
uniformly declined for several reasons,
the principal ome Of which it, my desire,
after the present rebellion Is put down
and the Union restored thereby, to re-
main O private citizen and not engage in
public life under any circumstances, and
there is but one motive that causes me
to swerve from that resolution. which ~
the very same that caused me to Join the
army. and that is, DUTY.
| am informed by men Of both Politi-
cal parties, since my arrival at home,
that the public mind has been 50 in
famed by demagognes, on both sides,
that there IL danger of collision at any
time, so much so as to materially embar-
rass the Governments esr 1'vt
Fully believing that there Is no future
for the Government or the Country, but
by putting down the present rebellion in
the Southern States, took upon 1t as the
duty of all TO render what assistance is
in their power, and in whatever manner
il will do the most good, to unite the
public sentiment of the people, to crush
oHt treason and rebellion against the best
Government on earth. ~~ ....'.
The masses Of the people Of all parties
are loyal, but a species Of intolerance
prevails that il really becoming alarming,
unless they can be induced to use more
moderation in the PRONUNCIATION of their
peculiar views on the questions tiaat agi~
tate the public mind, most oF which are
entirely outside of the main and only
question now before the people, that ~
the putting down of the rebellion. 4 u
parties desire that To be done as speedily
and cffectualiy as possible !; the great
point to be desired Is that minor issues
and questions should be laid aside until
we again hare united country.
For the present let ms all units heartily
in support of the Government. Fl the
Administration adopts measures Tor the
prosecution of the war that do not COIN
eide with cur peculiar views, LET US make
no factious opposition to them but yield
to the constituted authority. MIR. Lincoln
is the legally elected Executive OF tins
Government, and during his Presidential
term VIC can nave no OtItGEses 1lAG ttANt
that we did not vote for him renders ns
under no le&s obligation II support the
Government under his administration,
than if we had been Kfs most ardent sup
porters.
am in favor Of q vigorous prosecution
of the war 10. the full extent of Our
power. until the rebellion is suppressed.
and of using all means that may be in
our possession. recognized by honorable
warfare, for that purpose. am for the
Union without an II, and regardless of
whether slavery stands or falls by its7res
toration, and in favor of peace on no
other terms than the unconditional sub
mission of the rebels to the constituted
authorities of the Government of tho
| United States.
Entertaining these opinions, and recog-
nizing the right of the country to de-
lnand the services of all good citizens,
either as rulers or soldiers--aIttough OPP
posed to my personal wishes--if should
he elected. will discharge the duties of
the position without, fear, favor, or par
TALLY. and for the best interest of the
State and Nation, to the best Of by abil-
ity. J. NJ. FUTILE.
