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.

Ho says he cannot fight against ths stars aad stripes.— Whether he can or not, wa can, and will whip them.

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. Important Suggestion.

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. CORRESPONDENCE, ETC.
