Tho report about incendiaries having been
caught during the FIRE seems to have had some
truth-as the 1ribxae says: There can be no
doubt as to tho course to pursue with the in

of Martial law, because think it illegal. ]
will not be deferred from the expression of my
having gone over to the Democracy. I shall
vote against it because 1 am o Republican,
and regard the proclamation as destructive to
the party and subversive to the constitution
and liberties of the people. The Governor has
made q mistake. / will not be compelled
under party lashing, to indorse and ratify the
error. My county has increased It's democratic
majority from 100, two years ago, to 1000 now
The increase is caused by inforcing just such
illegal and irregular declarations of martial
