I bave received information that the draft ie about to ‘Be mate io the citics of New York and Brooklyn, and I ‘waderstand that there is danger of disorderly and riotous (Wttacks upon those who are engaged in executing the law ‘ef Congress. T camnet believe that any considerable number of citi+ gems are disposed to renew the shameful and sad scenes ‘@f the past month, in which the lives of so many, as well ‘@f the iunocent as of the guilty, were destroyed. Our eoarts are now consigning to revere punisiiment many of ‘Gaone who wore then guilty of acts destructive of the ‘Mves and property of their fellow citizens. These events ‘gbould teach all that real or imagizary wrongs cannot be ‘Worrected by unlawful violence. The liberties of our eeontry and the rights of our citizens can only be pre- @erved by a just regard for legal obligations and an ‘moquiesvence in the decisions of judicial tribunals, ‘While | believe it would have been a wise and humane [policy to have procured a judicial decision with regara to ‘he constitutionality of the Conscription act, at an early ‘Gay and by a summary process, yet the failare to do this Mm no degree justifies any violent opposition to an act of Ovngress. Until it is set aside by the decision of judicial ‘ribunals it must be obeyed, lke any other act of the ‘State or national legislature. ‘The fcllowing rule of duty in this respect was laid @own in the farewell address of Andrew Jackson. This ‘view has always been accepted by the friends of our ‘Waion and the upholders of our constitution: — ‘Unconstitutional or oppressive laws may no doubt be | {paneed by Congress, either from erroneous views or the ‘Want of doe consecration. If they are in reach of judi- @lal authority, the remedy is casy and peaceful; and if, from the character of the law, it is an abuse of power not ‘within the control of the judiciary, then free discussion and calm 4))pea)s to reason and to the justice of the poo- ple will not fail to redress the wrong. But until the law ‘hall be declared void by the courts, or repealed by Con- gn po individual, or combination of individuals, can hed in resisting ite execution. ‘The autagonistic doctrine that men may rightfully re- @iat awe opposed to their own ideas of right or duty has @ot only led to great disorders and violence, but is ome of the chief causes of the destructive civil war ~ ment will assemble at the lower room, ‘which has wasted the blood and treasure of our people. Disregard for the sacredness of the con- ‘@*ation, for the majesty of the law, and for the decis- Jens of the judiciary, is at this time the greatest danger which threatens American liberty. This spirit of dis- 3 yalty must be put down, It is uoonsistent with social ‘onder and social security, destructive to the safety of Perecos and property, and subversive of tue liberty of ‘Me citizen and the freedom of the nation. Phose who ‘Pear that there aro designs in any quarter te overthrow Whe rights of the citizen, or w obstruct the accustomed edministration of cur laws, or to usurp any power im vio- Ration of constitutional restraints, should bear in mind ‘What al! acis of violence, all public disorders, pave the ‘way for these very usurpations, and that they will be re- @arded with satisfaction by those who for any cause may ‘wish to destroy either tye power or rights of our natroal ar State governments. ‘The constitution and statates of the State and nation ‘@sntein ample remedies for all wrongs which may be @mmmitied either by rulers or citizens, and those who ‘wish to preserve their rights or to punisb offenders, whe- ‘Wher in public or in private life, should themselves care- Pally perform their duty, abstain from all illegal acts, qeeerously support the government, and then calmly end wesolutely claim their rights. 1 again repeat the warning ‘whtob I gave to you during the riotous proceedings of the ast month, that “the only opposition to the conscription ‘which can be allowed is an appeal to the courts. The Wight of every citizen to make such an appeal will be ‘Maitawed, and the decision of the courts must be respected and obeyed by rulers and people @itke. No other course is consistent with the @alatenance of the laws, the peace and order @f the city, aud the safety of its inhabitants. MMiotous proceedings must and shall be put down. The Bews of tbe Btate of New York must be enforced, its peace end order maintained, and the lives and property of all @ltigens protected, at any and every hazard, The rights @f every citizen will be properly guarded and defended by ‘Whe chief magistrate of the State.” I bereby admonish ail judicial and execative officers, ‘whose daty it is to enforce the law and preserve public Order, that they take vigorous and effective measures to pet down any riotous or uniewful assemblages; and if ‘they tnd their power insufficient for that purpose to call ‘wpon the military in the manner pointed out by the sta- ‘Oates of the State. If these measures sbould prove insuff- ‘eient | sbail then exert the full power of the State, in or- Mer that the pubiic order may be preserved and the Pereons and property of the citizens be fully protected.

The London Morning Post baving repeated the state- ment of the Naw Yorn Henatp, that the federal conscrip tion is avowedly a menace to England, the London Glove anpounces, apparently upon authority, that no authentic intelligence has been received giving the assertion the slightest assurance of probability. The Iondon Glove continues :—‘' Although perhaps the Américan govern mont expects {rom our Own aetion interference with the fisting out of war versels, which the law of England docs Bot appear to sanction, yot there te no interruption of the general amity Between the two, and in face of the language held towards us, in the name of the authorities at Wasn- ington, te, we may ray, impormibie they could have mado any such declaration memaciog us as that sot forth.’” THE POLISH QUESTION. ‘The London Times saye:—‘It te raid that the three Powers bave agreed to send a common note to Russia, to be acoompanied by separate despatches from each to their respective representatives, and that unless Russia makes some sign of yielding ® diplomatic rupture will be annauneed as impending.
