J. Caldwell, Nevada, on Saturday, the 25th day of May, 1861, at 12 o’clock M. All the members are requested to attend, as business of great importance will come before the Committee, J. I. CALDWELL, Chairman, Gov. Dowxey on Corrcion.—The letter of Gov. Downey, read at the Union meeting in San Francisco, does not come up to the expectations of bis friends. He says he does not believe that “an aggressive war should be waged upon any section of this confederacy,’’ nor “that this Union can be preserved by acoercion policy.” He leaves us in the dark as to what be means by ‘‘aggressive war.’’ Some would call the blockading of the Southern ports, in order to collect the revenue and keep down piracy, and the retaking of the seized forts, aggression on the part of the Government ; while others would call it merely resisting aggression. Whether or not the Union can be saved by a coercion policy isa question on which great men have arrived at different conclusions. Certain it is, the Union cannot be preserved unless the traitors who are endeavoring to break it up are resisted, and a peaceful policy having failed it is about time to try the virtue of force. If the Union can be preserved atan expense of a million of lives and a thousand millione of treasure it will be cheaply saved. Even at that rate the cost would not be as great in proportion to our present means, as was the cost of the war of independence. The present generation ought certainly be ready to sacrifice as much for the maintenance of the Government asour fathers sacrificed to acquire the liberties they bequeathed us. More Vouvntesrs.—A dispatch by the last Pony states that the President issued a proclamation on the 29th alt., calling out 83,000 additional volunteers for three years service ; 40.000 for five years, and 25,000 seamen for five years—makiag in all 148,000 volunteers, of whom 123,000 are for land service. These, adiled to the 75,000 previously called out, will make a total volunteer force for land service of 198,000 men, in addition to the regular army. The calling out of this number of volunteers has the appearance of an intention on the Goverament, not only to. blockade the Southero ports, but also to occupy the seceded States with an overwhelming force. There is no donbt that the call will be promptly responded to, and that the full compliment loya They thought only of the injuries they could inflict without taking into account the pos sibility of retaliation. How much they have mistaken their own position, and how grossly ignorant they were of the industrial und commercial interests of the North, and the sentiments of the Northern people, is now being made manifest. At first they imagined that &cession, by interrupting the course of trade, would reduce to beggary a vast population who depended exclusively upon the sale of a few articles of manufacture that found a market in the Cotton States. Bread riots were to be the order of the day ; infuriated mobs were to parade the streets of Boston, New York and Philadelphia, and the beads of Seward, Greeley, Wilsoa, and others of that stripe, were to be borne upon pikes by the starving multitude who had been so outrageously deceived. The North was to bave enough to do to keep in subjection the millions of operatives thrown out of employment withio its own borders, without giving any attention to matters in the Southern States. Six months e¢ -verience in secession has shown the fallacy of their expectations iu thisrespect, The distress and starvation caused by the attempted revolation has been felt only in the rebellious States. Again, the secessionists supposed they had large numbers of sympathizers in the . ° North, who would interpose every ebstacle, and defeat any measures of the Government to check their aggressions. The New York Herald had told them they could carry their depredationsto any extent; that any measure of the Government to resist them, would at once light the torch of civil war in the North, and that Lincoln’s troops would first have to encounter and overcome anarmy of Northern ‘“conservatives’’ before they reacbed Southern soil. How badly they were duped by that mendacious journal, the response to the President’s call for volunteers has told them. But the rebels had not yet played their highest card. They still held the rightbower, which was ouly to be launched io case of the failure of all other efforts to convince the North of the rightfalness of robbery, and of the blessings that would follow the destruction of the Government. The commerce of the Northern cities floats upon every sea, and the mere mention of privateers would so frighten the commercial and moneyed men that they would force the Government to make peace with the traitors on the most humiliating terms that might be exacted. Finding threats of no avail, Jeff. Davis at length issued his prociamation, which was to swarm the sea with privateers, and completely annihilate the vast commercial interests of the North. But as in all their other calculations, they were again at fault. Instead of beseeching the Government to make terms with the rebels the merchants and ship-owners declared that the pirates must be crushed out at any cost. And it will be done, Every port where a prize can be brought will be blockaded, and the privateers will be hunted down and driven from the sea. The rebels have thought only of the blows they could give, without reflecting upon the terrible blows that could be given io return, The piratical proclamation of Jeff. Davis has called out declarations from sources not given tounmeaning threats, and for bumanity’s sake it is to be hoped the seceding States will learn their own weakness and cease their aggressions before offensive operations are commenced against them.
