Although Gen. Dix declined the Union
nomination for Governor Of New York, 1t
was-uot from any lack Of sympathy with the
cause, but probably ao1eIy from the conyic-
tlon that he can in bis present position zeu-
der better service to TIE country. The fol-
loving letter to Hon. Ward Hunt sets forth
his attitude On the great questions presented
to the people:

THE GOVERNORS ADDRESS.

To the loyal citizens of the State of Del
aware does Governor Cannon address him
self, as win be seen in another part Of to-
days paper. Being that the copper
head Legislature would not appropriate
the paltry sum Of four Hundred and taee'i-
ty.tfve dollars towards the conseeration of
last resting place for the fallen heroes Of
Gettysburg, it becomes his duty, as he is
the Chief Executive of the State, to request
the loyal citizens to cooperate with him
in the work, 50 that. Delaware's sons may
not be thrown upon the charities of sister
States. The amount apportioned to us is
small and should be contributed at once,
in order to Illustrate the designs of the
traitorous gang who would stamp the fair
name Of our State with treason and infamy.
The schedule laid out for the reception of
contributions is cpe that will give every
union-loving citizen an opportunity to show
the zeal which chaTacterizes their love for
the Nations dead.
The Governor remarks, that "notwith-
standing the generous offer of several cit
izens to contribute the amount, it is deem
ed more fitting to give the loyal citizens
generally, an opportunity to subscribe small
sums for this purpose. By my request,
the Secretary of State viii receive any
such sums, not exceeding two dollars from
each contributor, until the firstday of April
next, and will keep a list of the names Of
all persons who may contribute" Thus
it viii be seen that we are enabled to coun.
teract this action of the Legislature, which
refused to vote few dollars to SO laudable
4 a purpose. Let as then attend to the mat
tar, that our gallant sons may sleep in that
sweet rspose known only to those who fall
4 in right and justice against wicked, treas
onabIes and unholy rebellion.

THE OFFICIAL REPORT.

AS there is considerable misunderstand-
ing among our citizens concerning the OBJ
legation resting upon the Board of Enrol
ment of our State to district the same &C.
cording to the literal meaning of the Law,
(and not as made by counties) we would,
but for want of space, again publish the
amendatory Act. We will, however, re-
fer our readers to the Bill as passed and
repeatedly published: and though we may
differ both as to the right, as well as the
policy of thus evadipg the requirements of
the Law, and saving to themselves trouble,
at the expense Of the best communities of
our little State yet we are willing, for
The present, to accept the result as an evil
dence of the willingness of said Board to
do us Justice. By the official report just
made, and to-day published by us, our
County still is indebted sirty.fve, or at
least was on March LIST; and this would
have been more than made up by the 10th,
had some of our recruiting agents faith
fully performed their duties, and executed
the trust reposed in them, without yielding
to the temptations of fraudulently dispesing
Of recruits recruited for the State within
this County. This may appear to some,
fair game, and SO it is to those, and those
only, who think all money making fair;
but they may yet live long enough to learn
the truth Of the saying, that "honesty is
the best policy" and that they have LOST
the confidence of an honest public, worth
more, even to them, than their ill-gotter
gains. We may have bit of advice t.
give to somebody or other, as soon as We
shall fully ascertain the facts connected
with this affair; but for the present W.
shall let the matter rest with those VIII
more properly, have it in hand.

THE DRAFT

Col. Wilmer, the Provost Martial of this

Of some recruiting agents, which we may
hnd occasion to yentilate hereafter, Sus-

Mr.. EDITOR;
FRANKFoRD, DEL, |
March 4, 1864. !


Mr.. ED1ToR:
Will you allow few lines from
stranger, place in your paper, a paper
whose very name ought to make it dear to
every lover of his or her country, We hear
much saia about our country, and the love
this man or that woman bears for their coun-
try; but in our. humble opinion, we should
act out the love we profess to have for it, in
stead of talking so much. As we look around
now, we cannot but feel that this is one of
the best times to show that love that the peo-
pie have had. This year, we trust, is the
year which shall crown our armies with sue
cess, and, through the blessing of God, upon
their labors, we believe that this year will
decide whether we shall be united and hap
ply people, or whether we shall be divided
people, a shame bye-word and reproach among
the nations of the earth. We appeal to you,
men Of Sussex County, shall it be SOP We
ask you, ladies, shall it be SOP Shall the
rebel hordes come upon usf Shall they
have what they are pleased to call their indie
pendenceP Let the response come up from
every heart, no, neverl neyeri And TO avoid
this, let every man and every woman do their
duty. Do not ask how you must do your
duty; do it by going forth at your country g
call, as many of our brave boys have done;
they have left home and dear friends, and
many of them have borne the tolls and priya-
tons of a soldiers life for almost three years,
and many will doubtless re-enlist; but some
must come home, circumstances call them
home. Who will go forth and fill up the
ranksf Many of our brave boys bave fallen
in their country's service, and have left home
and friends desolate-peace to their memory,
they have fallen in glorious cause; they viii
not soon be forgotten. But there are many
left at home; will they not become their coun.
try's greatest pride, her noble volunteers. and
rush forth to her service to save our glorious
Stars and Stripes from disgrace. Our faith
ers fought, bled, and died for this starry ban
ner, and will not you, brave men, try to keep
it from being trampled upon. If the draft
comes of, some Of you will have to go. Do
not wait, but go, as did the men of the revo-
luton, from your farms, from your work
shops, and your stores, and fight to maintain
this glorious Union. But perhaps the ladies
ask what they must do. What can you NOT
do. Follow in the footstepsiof the women
who lived in the daysof the Revolution; they
aided on the work in manyyays; cannot yor
do as they did; senduy sur. husbands, ysul
brothers, and your lovers forth. 81 Do not keel
them back any longer, as many ofyou have
by your sad faces and pitiful Voices Moth
ers, wives, sisters, say no more. tosthem, sD'
not go; ".clog'them not up as they attemptit
) by your groans asdl tears, but encourage
them, send them'with your prayers and bless
ings,a and God will bless you, bless chem, an'
bless our country. and. this wicked, uncalled

Address of the Governor.
80 STATE OF DkIAwARz,
EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT.,
DOVER, March /, 1864.

v
10 the Loyal Citizens of the State Of DeiaYars.
IN special message to the General As
sembly at its adjourned Session, hsid in jan
uary and February last, I recommended that
an appropriation Of -Four Hundred and
Twenty-Five Dollars be made, fer the mr.
pose of Meeting the estimated amount to be
paid b. he State Of Delaware towards de.
ffaying The cost Of removing an re,iuterrinie
the teinains q the gallant soldiers. who fell
q the Battle Of Gettysburg, and finish the
NATIONAL Cemetery at that place.
The refusal of the maj ority Of the Legis
lature to appropriate any su5n for this pstri-
otto object, renders it necessary that a call
should be made upon the loyal citizens Of
the State, for contributions to make up the
required amount.
Notwithstanding the generous offer Of seve-
raj citizens to subscribe the amount, it is
deemed m're fitting to give the loyal citizens
generally, an opportunity to subscribe small
sums for this purpose. By my request, the
Secretary Of State will receive any sum mot
exceeding two dollars from each contributor,
