would destroy the essential home rights
and liberties of tho people.
On tho subject of arbitrary arrests,
he says: The suppression of journals
and the imprisonment of persons are
glaringly partizan. Conscious of these
gross abuses, an attempt has been
made to shield the violators Of law,
and suppress inquiry into their routines
and conduct. This attempt will fail
unconstitutional acts will not be shield

the doctrine that civil war in the South
takes away from the loyal North the
benefits of one principle Of civil liber'

Sheriffs and district attorneys are adj
moniShed that it is their duty to take
care that no persons within their re-
spectivc counties arc imprisoned or
carried by force beyond their limits
without due process OF legal authority.
The Gov. at somo length condemns
the exercise of the power undor mar
tial law, ns destructive of the rights OF
States and of legislation, and Of the
judicial department Of the General Gov
ernment. lie declares the Presidents
emancipation proclamation, as impoll-
tic, unjust, and unconstitutional and cal
cuated to create many barriers to the
restoration of the Union, and that it
will he misconstrued BY the world rs
an abandonment OF hope to restore it,
IL result to which New Yorl; was unaI'
tcrubly opposed, ami which will be et'
tGctually resisted.
The Union he says, will be restored
by the Central and Western States to
the free and slave States, who are ex.
empt from the violent passions which
control at the extremes Those Of the
central slave States which rejected the
ordinance of secession, and which were
driven off by a contemptuous compro-
missing policy, must be brought back
The restoration of the whole Union
will only be the work of time, with
such exertion as can bo put forth with
out needlessIy sacrificing the life and
treasure OF the North in Il bloody and
calamltOus contest.
We must not wear out the lives OF
our soldiers, not exhaust the earning
of labor by war for uncertain ends,
or to carry out vague theories OF ex'
termination. This means not only de.
struction of lives and property South,
but also waste blood and treasure in
the North
The execution of armed power must
be accompanied by firm and concllla.
tory policy; so us to restore our Union
with the least possible injury to both
sections.
The Governor concludes as follows:
"At this moment the fortunes OF our
country arc influenced by tho results
of battles. Our armies in the field
must be supported all the constitution
al demands of our General Government
must be promptly responded to; Un-
der no circumstances can q dlvlsioh oi
the Union be conceded. We will put
forth every exerton of power; we Will
hold out every inducement to the .peo-
pic of the South to return to their al
logiance consistent with honor; we why
guarantee them every right and every
consideration demanded by the coy
stitution alone and by that fraterT
regard which must prevail in c9
mon country; but we can never vopc
tarly consent to the breaking uEo'
the Union oc these States, or thque'
stru 2tion OF the Constitution"
