“Your dispatch is received, and if genuine—which its extraordinary character leads me to doubt—I have to say in reply that I regard the levy of troops made by the Administration, for the purpose of subjugating the States of the South, as in violation of the Constitution and a usurpation of power. I can be no party to this wicked violation of the laws of the country, and to this war upon the liberties of a free people. You can get no troops from North Carolina. I will reply more in detail when your call is received by mail.” Governor MAGOFFIN, of Kentucky, replied, April 15: “Your dispatch is received. In answer I say emphatically, Kentucky will furnish no troops for the wicked purpose of subduing her sister Southern States.” Governor HARRIS, of Tennessee, replied, April 18: “Tennessee will not furnish a single man for coercion, but fifty thousand, if necessary, for the defence of our rights or those of our southern brethren.” Governor JACKSON, of Missouri, replied: “Your requisition is illegal, unconstitutional, revolutionary, inhuman, diabolical, and cannot be complied with.” Governor RECTOR, of Arkansas, replied, April 22: “None will be furnished. The demand is only adding insult to injury.” ALL OTHER CALLS FOR TROOPS.
