To His Excellency Gov. £kown:
The intelligence which we receive, of

Resistance to the Passport .System.
—Tho Richmond Whig says tho author
ity exorcised 'by tho Provost Marshal*
in requiring passports from citizens,
will shortly be practically tested by
several members of Congress, Who have
resolved to start homeward without
passports, and if detained will bring
tho matter to the attention of tho courts,
&o
We regrot to see- tho low makors of
the country, to whom n'l should look
for example, engaged in any suqh bus
inoss. Tho Provost Marshal has no
more interest in requiring passports
than any other citizen; it. is done
solely for tho public safety, npd os it
imposes but very little Jnconve-
niopco on honest men, all should
cheerfully aoquioseo, and even aid in
carrying out the measure of precau
tion, whether strictly legal or not. We
think those obstinate '.members of Con
gress aro doing themselves very littlo
oredlt as patriots, in their selfish and
obstinate curse. A good citizen will
volunlorily do what is best for the coun
try, and not stop to enquire whether
tho law compels him to do it or not,—

Write to tiie Solbier.—Persons who
