Not only did Governor Gage Of CALI.

the Governors OF these respective
States on the 14th. and it is to be re.
marked that sll OF them are signed

MIA" or "A. n Dockery, Governor Of
Missouri" AMI not merely with the
name Of the Governor. as Dole was
wont to sign his Official communities
lions to the legislature last winter.
There was no waiting BY these men
for the proclamation OF the President
before they took action. They knew
very ven a proper proclamation would
be issued by the President as early as
Il coald be done. but they did not wait
for that before taking action on behalf |
or their respective States.
It was the same with the Territorial
Governors. Each and al Of them al
once issued prcclamations. We nov
