JOHN A. ANDREW,
Gov’nor of MsaaaebasetU.
At Fall River loot aigbta meeting of eitiaeos
wao oaliodoa ibo reception of tb* news. Petri-
otic tpoaaboa wor* made, and tb* Government
wao iaatraotod to appropriato I If,MO to fit out
volunteers, and to pay each volunteer fSO par
month in addition to tha Government pay.
Oar readers have alroady noticod bow read
ily aad liberally tb* Governor and tba wbola
State baa roopondod to Lincoln'* call for troop*
to subjugate th* South, the people of which
nerer harmed nor eought to harm a tingle man
in Massachusetts. We never naked a thing of
the people of that 8ute, except that oor juet
right* be accorded us. Wo never would hare
had any difference with them, If they had not
el way* aooght to doprivo oa of oar right*, and
had, to tome extent, always been auocoaaful in
those effort*. If we had been oppressing or
wronging them, their preMut rush to arm*
would not ba aurpricing.
They say, howarar, that they now take up
arm* to redree* insults and outrage heaped up
on their country's flag snd thsirgel-lorious gov
ernment; snd that its integrity snd power
mast be vindicated. This is an anomalous po
sition for tha people of MaesaehuMtta to occu
py. It ia the first time, in the history of Amer
ica, that they have ever shown any regard (or
the honor of the Government, or signified a
desire to maintain its integrity, or redress its
wrongs. The war of tho Revolution was sup
ported by them—begun by them in fact; but
the almighty dollar was involved—not tba hon
or or integrity of their oouotry. They would
have been content to live under the British
Government, if they had not been taxed. On
thia account, they sustained the war; it was one
of interest with them, snd not of principle.
Iu all the wars that have taken place since
that time, they have, invariably, been on the
side of the enemy, and against the United
States Government. Th* war of 1812 was de
clared snd fought, because our flag was outra
ged, our vessels boarded and searched, and our
citisens unlawfully and piratically seised by a
foreign power, and transported beyond the seas,
and punishments inflicted upon them for crimes
of whioh they wore not guilty, before tribunals
to which they were not amenable. In this
struggle to vindicate our National honor and
redress our wrongs, Massachusetts was against
us—labored every way in the power of the
State and of its citisens to cripple the efforts of
the Government, and actually sided and abet
ted the enemy, in several ways. Their moneyed
interest* were not suffering from the aggressions
of Great Britain—they eared not that the honor
of the nation was assailed snd its integrity
jeoparded.
In the Mexican War, they war# opposed to
the Government. In all our Indian Ware they
have occupied the same position, and have
never given the moral support of the 8tate to
sustain tha character and credit of tha nation,
nor furnished her quota of men. Tha Btata of
Massachusetts is tha last on earth that should
charge others with unfaithfulness or allude to
sn outraged flag. Now, however, she is equip
ping her soldiers, and ealling~her citisens to
arms; and what for f She says that it is to re
sent wrongs and insults to tbs flag of her coun
try ; but in this she lies—at her whole history
and tha characteristics of her people fully show.
No; she has always waged a political warfare
against the South, to eecuro a pecuniary ad
vantage of ue; and now, that wa have refused
any further to submit to hsr opprassiva dic
tates, she has taken op arms to compel us!—
Money, aad not honest principlaa, is at tha bot
tom of all this.
To-morrow ws shall give a short ehapter
from ths records, to show that wo know what
wa say. We speak " from tha book," and have
the facts and figures at hand to sustain tha
charge we make. We shall lay before our read
ers, a little of MassachuMtts history, which is
net mat with every day.
Southern Illinois.
A public moating was raeently bald at Ma
rion Coart House, Williamson county, Illinois,
at which tha following resolutions were adopt
ed:
Resolved, That we, tha citisens of William
son county, firmly believing, from tha dis
tracted condition of our country, the same be
ing brought about by tha alavation to power of
a strictly sectional party, the coercive policy
of which toward tha seoediag States wilf drive
all tha border States from the Fsderal Union,
and oausa them to Join the Southsrn Confed
eracy.
Resolved, That ia tha event the interest of
the citisen* of Southern Illinois imperatively
* of tha State,
and* at their handa a division 01
wa hereby pledge ourselves to use all the means
in our power to affect tha same, and to attach
ourMlvaa to tho Southern Confederacy.
Resolved, That in our opinion it is the duty
of the present Administration to withdrew af|
the troop* of th# Federal Government that may
bo stationed in Southern forts, and acknowl
edge Ike independence of tha Southern Coa-
fedracy, believing that sash a sours# would be
calculated to restore peace aad harmony- to

General Scott.
Oo Tuesday, one ol our prominsnt citisens
telegraphed e friend in Petersburg, Virginia,
inquiring if General Scott had actually resign
ed. We are permitted to copy tho reply—only
omitting nemos—for which ws roturn our sio-
oere thanks:
PxTxasBLBfl, April 23, 1881.
No one bare bolievra ths report. Ho says
he cannot fight against ths stars aad stripes.—
Whether he can or not, wa can, and will whip
them.
Military*
Orders were issued at Milledgeville, yester
day morning, for two Regiments from this
State, to rendezvous at onoa at Richmond, Va.
The Glover Guards, of Montioello— Cspl. G.
L. Bartlett—oomposed of seventy-five men be
sides offioers, havs reoei ved notice to hold them
selves in readiness for Mrvice at a moment's
warning They expect to bo ordorod to Virgin
ia in a few days.
Wa are informed that the “ LsGrange Light
Guards," and the “ West-Point Volunteers,"
have been ordered to proceed at once to ren-
desvous at Richmond, Virginia
Tha Tunnel Hill Rifles—Capt. E. L. Thomas
-sixty-five men, have been notified to hold
themselves in readiness to march at short no
tice.
North Carolina.
Governor Ellis has called an extraordinary
session of tha Legislature of North Carolina, to
meet on Wednesday, 1st day of May. We no
tice that tho hitherto Union papers of that
State, are now emphatically in favor of imme
diate secession.
Released.
The ship Argo, from Bath, Maine, which was
seised a few days ago st Petersburg Virginia,
has been released by order of the Governor.—
The other vesMls are held.
JW We take the following words of wisdom
from the "Chronicle A Sentinel
"And we would invoke our people to put s
bridle on their tongues, and on their pens, in
regard to this matter. We have noticed, quite
recently, and with inexpressible pain, some of
the public journals in the Confederacy much
inclined to denunciation of the Union men ef
the Border. We make due allowanoes for you,
friends, because we know your blood is up,
sod you feel that you can have no patience with
men who will now delay. But be patient, be
patient and kind. You never can win any
body to your cause by denunciation and abuse,
e * # # These men may be mistaken in
their judgment—we all think they are-but
that they are patriotic and true, we must not
doubt, see* Heaven knows we havs
all much to forget and forgive. Let us bury
the past—let us ceaM all the unmanly, becauM
passionate and foolish, crimination and re
crimination, which have marked, but to blur,
our previous partisan contests."
Alabama has furnished, and has now
in the Mrvice of the Confederacy, over 3,000
troops; and 6,400 more are now organised,
and have tendered their services to their coun
try. The Governor’s late call requires 4,000
more.
ff*The Secession Ordinance of tha Virginia
Convention is to be submitted to the voters of
the State, on Thursday, the 23d of May. So
we see it stated iu our exchanges.
ajT The New York corrcspondsnt of tha
Petersburg (Va.) Express, says:
I have made some further enquiry concern
ing the "Southern Organisation, whioh I
told you in my last was in sxiatenoe hare, and
would certainly do much to thwart tha inten
tions of the abolition hordes whioh Lincoln,
Scott, Seward and Wool propose to pour down
upon the South. I find that my information,
as detailed in a former letter, is strictly true.
The organisation numbors now muoh over 20,-
000 men, good and true, who under the forsa
of an oath, with all tba sanctity which can at*
tach to an obligation, hav# pledged themselves
to thin out the ranks of those Yankee scoun
drels, before they reach any of the seceded
State*. But more than thia. There art elm •
liar organisations in aetiva operation in many
parts of Now Jtraoy and Pennsylvania. They
conduct thoir mootings with tb* utmost snore-
ay, but their plana are wall matured, aud tha
‘aid and comfort" which they propose to ren*
der tbe South, will bo worth to that much-
wronged Moiioa a vast deal. I heard oae of
the moat active members of this organisation
say to day, that the plans of the organisation,
if offsetual, would stiffen tbe joints of 260,000
Yankees at the very lowest calculatioa. I am
not at liberty to say more about iktM move
ments than merely refer to them in general
terms, but time will oonfirm ell that I have
written.

The young men shot in the lot end taken to
the infirmary, end attended by Dr. Morris, ap
peared quite grateful for tbe humane attentions
shown him. When asked why he came, the
•imple end unsophisticated reply of tbe youth
wee, "Ob, the Flag-the Stars end Stripes."—
It was expected that the wounded leg would
have to be amputated lest night. He is only
about 18 veers old, end may he live to grow
wiser as he grows older.
Another of them in the stetion-houM said he
had no enmity against the South, end came
only boceuM his company was ordered out—
otherwise he would have been jeered m e cow
ard end recreant. Others in tbe companies
wore actuated by the seme motivM.
A body of one hundred end five of the vol
unteers from the North was taken in charge by
th* police of the SMtern district end seat
beck. They ere now said to have stopped at
Magnolia
At the eastern police station lest night, a Ger
man asked for lodging. He said he had been
forced in the cars at Philadelphia, but did not
know where they were going to take him.
A PITEOUS APPEAL FOR MERCY.
As one of the mercenaries who fired at Com
merce street discharged bis gun, he was struck
with a stone end knocked down, end as he at
tempted to arise another stone struck him in
the face, when he crawled into a store, end pros
trating himself on the floor, clasped his hands
end begged piteously for his lire, saying that
he was threatened with instant death by his
officers if he refused to accompany them. He
said one-half of them bad been forced to come
in the same manner, end he hoped ell who
forced others to come might be killed before
they got through the city. He plead so herd
that no further vengeance was bestowed upon
hitn, and be was taken to the police station to
have his wounds dressed.

MASS MEETING IN MONUMENT SQUARE!
Shortly after four o’clook the people, to the
number of several thousand, assembled in
Monument Square, where a flag beariog tbe ooat
of arms of Maryland was thrown to tbe bracse.
Several speeches were made, but tbe most in
teresting was that of Wm. P. Preaton, Esq ,
who with burning eloquence said :
Fellow Citisen*:—I cam* to this meeting aa

sion of my ssntiments. Ths oocasioo is a most

partisanship would degrade an occasion like

ALL THE SOUTHERN PORTS TO BE BLOCK*

The National Intelligencer, of Saturday,
publishes the following:
Whkrias, An insurrection against the gov

in the States of South Carolina, Georgia, Ala
bama, Florida, Mississippi, Louisiana and
Texas, and tba laws of the United Slates for
ths eolleetion of the revenue oanuot be effee-
tually executed therein conformably to that
provision of the Constitution whioh requires
duties to be uniform throughout the United
Slates:
And wheraas, a combination of persons, en
gaged in such insurrection, have threatened
to grant|pretended letters of marque tojauibor*
ise the bearers tbsreof to commit assaults on
the lives, vessels, and property of good citi-
sens of the oouotry lawfully engaged in com
merce on the high seas, and waters of the
United 8tales :
Aod whereas an Executive Proclamation baa
been already issued, requiring the persons en
gaged in these disorderly proceedings to desist
therefrom, ealling out a militia force for the
purpose of repressing the same, and convening
in oxtraordii
Congress in extraordinary session to deliber
ate and determine thereon :
Now, therefore, I, Abraham Linooln, Pres

same purposes before mentioned, aod to the
protection of the publio peace, and the lives
and properly of quiet and orderly ohisena
pursuing their lawful occupations, until Con
gress shall have assembled snd deliberated on
the said unlawful prooeedinga, or until tho
same shall have ceased, have further deemed
it advisable to set on foot a blockade of the
ports within the Hint os aforesaid, in pursu
ance of the laws of tho United 8tates and of
tbe law of nations In suoh ease provided. For
this purpose e competent foroe wiU be posted
so as to prevent the entraoee and exit of vet*
sels from the ports aforesaid. If, therefore,
with a view to violate suoh blockade, a ves
sel shall approach, or efiall attempt to leave
any ef the said ports, ska will ba duly warned
by the Commander of one of the bloekadiog
vessels, who will endorse on her register the
fact and date of such warning, aad if tha same
vassal shall again attampt toaatar or leave the
blockaded port, the will be captured and sent
to the nearest convenient port, for such pro*
ceedings against bar and her cargo as prise as
mar be dsemed advisable.
And I hereby proclaim aad daolare that if
any person, under the pretended authority of
the said 8tate«, or under any other pretence,
ehall molest e vessel of the United States, or
the persons or cargo oa board of her, suoh
persons will be held amenable to the laws of
tbe Uailcd States for the prevention aod puns*

that eircumetanoee could never ekaoge. Km-
ineotly social, eimple end affable in hie man

Governesant Spies.
We are informed to-dey that the Adminis
tration has Employed several hundred pereona
to not as spies, and report all oonvareatione
and actions of persons sympathieing with the
Confederate States. "Mum," then, teems the

Tbe abuse of tbe Administration being oon-
•idered a crying sio, and as going beyond tho
idea of free speeeh, an attempt ie now mad
gag mouths whioh dare to express oppoeite
opinions to the party at present in power, and
they even talk of muxsling the prase; yet, ia
tbeir nightly meetings, they laud to the thine
free speeeh end freedom of the press. Their
present action bespeaks aa advocacy of free
dom loop-press.— Washington States £ Union.
