ADDRESS OF GOVERNOR SEYMOUR

To THE PEOPLE or THE CRY ov New YoRK-
A riotous demonstration in your city, origi-
mating In opposition to the conscrption Of
soldiers for the military service Of the Uni
ted States, has swelled into vast proper
tions, directing its fury against tho pro-
perty and lives Of peaceful citizens. l
know that many Of those who have par
ticipated in these proceedings would not have
allowed themselves TO be carried TO such ex-
tremes Of violence and Of wrong except under
an apprehension Of injustice; but such persons
are reminded that the only opposition to the
CONSUMPTION which can be allowed Is an appeal
TO the courts.
The right Of every citizen 10 make such an
appeal will be maintained, and the decision Of
the courts must be respected and obeyed by
rulers and people alike. No other course is
consistent with the maintenance Of the laws, the
peace and order of the city and the safety of it's
Inhabitants.
Riotous proceedings must and shall be put
down. The laws of the State OF New York
must be enforced, its peace and order main
tanned, and the lives and property Of all It's
citizens protected, at any and every hazard.
The rights Of every citizen will be properly
guarded and defended by the Chief Magistrate
Of the State.
/ do therefore call upon all persons engaged
in these riotous proceedings to retire to their
homes and employments, declaring TO them
that unless they do SO at once shall use all
the power necessary to restore the peace and
order Of the city. also call upon all well
disposed persons not enrolled for the preserve
tion Of order TO pursue their ordinary avoca-
tions.
Let all citizens stand firmly by the consti-
tuted authorities, sustaining law and order in
the city, and ready to answer any such demand
a. circumstances may render necessary for me
to make upon their services, and they may
rely upon rigid enforcement of the laws Of
this State against all who violate them.
HORATIO SEYMOUR, Governor.

The Soldiers speaking Ont.

The Abolition papers are endeavoring to prop
up Lincoln and his policy by publishing report
ed resolutions aud remarks Of army oficers -
We are not at all surprised that there are some
men who will sacrifice conscience and country
to retain their big salaries and 1t is generally
such as these who are brawling indorsers OF
Lincoln's proclamation. Democratic papers IN
all parts of the country are publishing ietters
from the private soldiers of like character with
those we have recently published, though many
of them much more severe. Some of the off,
cers seem willing to do anything to retain their
positions, but the privates object to being used
for any other purpose than that for which they
vOlunteered.-HOlmes County Farmer.
Daily Ohio statesman. [volume] (Columbus, Ohio) 1855-1870, 1863-03-11
From the Ohio Farmer.l

The unsettled and excited state OF the marke
for woolen and cotton goods is giving rise tt
much speculative talk 40 TO the starting point
for the next clipof wool; and our contemporaries
OF the rural press are having a word to say. 10
the last Mahoning Register we find the follow.
ing hst-footed talk:
"At no previous time since 1886 have the
prices OF wool ruled 60 high as at the present
date. Sales were made in New York, last
week, to manufactures, at 10 and rs cents, and
some extra fine brought as high as 70 cents -
FARMERS bad better not contract their next clip
In advance, unless they get big figures. 1t
would not be surprising if wool commanded
$lOo per pound by midsummer. Very limited
quantities now remain In the Western States
u lsold, and the growers must feel encoura ged
at the future prospects. The slaughteriug OF
sheep, except for mutton, ia unknown, while the
old or young with the least vitality, are care
fully provided for, with the expectation that
such fleece, however small, will turn into iii
not g1ld) green backs, which our Western
people have learned to regard quite as good"
The sheep market, of course, reflects the ex-
cited feeling in the wool trade; and the Madison
County Democrat thus talks Of the propriety of
stocking the broad pasture fields Of Madison
with sheep:
"The prospective high price for wool the
coming Spring, has excited our wool growers
to an unusual degree, and raised the price of
sheep almost fifty per cent. over that of last
year. Every farmer not already stocked with
Sheppard but very few II any are--seems
anxious to buy, but none seems desirous of SELL
ing. fair quality of sheep will readily bring
from $4 to Sc per head. Madison county is
well adapted to sheep raising, aud the interests
of its people would be materially enhanced
were sheep TO take the place of cattle on it's
broad fertile pastures, While at least one
hundred and fifty thousand sheep could be
grazed TO advantage in the county, the number
last year was only 81 .35l, being an increase in
the past ten years of only l2,47S. When tue
farmers OF this county fully comprehend their
own interests, Madison will stand first among
the wool-growing counties Of the State"

Trouble In Sal. Lake.

New YoRK, March 10-The Herald's special
from Salt Lake City, March 9th, says: a col.
lision between military and citizens is imminent.
Gov. Harding and Associate Justices Waite
and Drake, it is understood, have called upon
Col. Conner TO arrest Brigham Young and
oounselors Kimball and Wells. The Judge Of
the District can serve any civil process, but the
citizens are in arms and determined to prevent
the arrest of their leaders by military force,
Other Federal officers and Mormon citizens
have telegrsphed to Gen Wright to restrain
Conner till an investigation can be had. A
Colonel of the U. S. Army, who left Tor Wash
ington this morning, has been arrested by Con
ner and brought back. IL Is presumed his in.
tentions are unfavorable to Conner's military in +
reference.

The Charges against Speaker Callicot.

The proper time having arrived, the Demo
cratic members of the Assembly proposed &c
arraign T. C. Calleot, Speaker of that body
for gross official and personal corruptit:!. The
charges have been formally made, and embrac CO
the following pointa:
First That Mr.. G. was intrusted with thu
sale of eight shares of bank stock by a Mira
Wood; that he sold the stock and retained the
money until last January, when, being threat.
ened with exposure by Mrs Woods agent, he
procured the amount on draft made by the
chairman of the Republican Union State com.
mittee and hnquldated the dept. Ii is alleged
shat this money Was received as compensat tIon
for his vote on the election Of officers OF the
House, United states Senator, etc, IL ID
charged also that Mr.. C. has received $1,000
from the committee or members of the Repub-
lican Uuion party "for his treachery and be.
trayal OF the Democratic majority of the
House."
Second IL is charged that Mr.. Callicot, when
member of the House in 1860, had charge of
bill which Walter 5. Church, of this CITY,
desired to defeat, and that while the bill was
pending he solicited loan, first of $l00 and
then OF $50, of Mr.. Church, Mr.. Csllicot
avowing himself opposed to the bill. These
applications were not responded to, and Mr.. q
voted for the bill, although, Ia its different
stages, he had previously voted against it.
Third. IL is charged also, that when running
last fall for the Assembly, Mr.. Callcot received
5000 rom the president of horse railroad in
Brooklyn, as consideration to use his influence
and vote in favor of said road.
Fourth. It ia further charged that ne received
$3.50 for his vote for bill which passed the
Legislature of 1860.
This is formidable indictment, and if any
part of it ia proved true the election OF Mr..
CAllicot will Prove the most damaging political
victory ever achieved by party in this conn
try. Forvobvious reasons We do not propose to
discuss the merits OF this case until after the
trial, but should Callicot be found guilty il
would be hitting finale to the most corrupt
party that ever held power in this state.-N

Thomas Jefferson on Arbitrary Arrests.

In his draft of instructions for the Virginia
delegates to the fret Revolutionary Congress
drawn up by Thomas Jefferson, we find In hi
detail OF guidance, his indignation thus vigor
ously expressed: .
"The wretched criminal if he happens tc
have offended on the American side, stripped
OF his privilege Of trial by peers of his vicinage
removed from the place where alone full eyi
dence could be obtained, without money, with
ont counsel, without friends, without exculpa-
tory proof, is tried before judges Predetermined
to condemn. The towards who would suffsl
c0untryman to be torn from their society
Ia order to be thus offered sacrifice to parlia
mantary tyranny, would merit that evsriastin,

Resolutions of the llfith Regiment.

We have received for publication series Of
resolutions which purport to have been adopted
unanimously by the One Hundred and Sixteenth
Ohio Regiment, large portion of whom are
Democrats from this county. The committee
on resolutions consisted solely OF officers, and
the chairman ia Lieut. Colonel Wiles, formerly
editor of the Athens Messenger, paper of the
Horace Greeley school of politics. We are
glad that copy was sent us, for it gives US an
opportunity Of exposing the manner in which
these things are done. We know that about
nine-tenths Of the regiment oppose not only the
sentiments contained in portion of the resolu.
tions. but are opposed to any political resolutions
Of any kind in the army, believing that such
things are productive of evil, and in any event
that they can be of no good. Lieutenant Col
Wiles, we think, had much better attend to his
duties as a soldier

| D. That our soldiers who were deceived AMI
Induced Into the army under false representa-
tlons that the war was being wAged solely ant
for the only purpose Of maintaining the Con
