New Orleans, June 2.- In an address oy Gov. Mc Enery, on Saturday, he snys : "President Grimt, us ohief magistrate of the nation, has assumed a high and grave responsibility, n foirtiDg upon the people of this 8tate a usurpation without precedent in this or any other free country, and he ar.swerable befoe the bar of public opinión for this high-handed measure. The President, with 't he army Bnd navy at his cominand, hus the phystcnl power to coerce the people of this State into any line of policy ho may be pleaeed to dictatc, and it would be but folly and madupss to inlfirpose any resistance Hkely to bring us in conflict with thanational authoiity. Yct the deeply fixed sentiment of irreprensible hostility in the minde nnd hearts of au outraged people againftt tbe vilest usui.pation ever ttampted'to ba fastened npon freemen will find their full scope and vent. I advise that these maniy and patriotic sentiments take form and shapc tbrough all moral aud legal agnncips ponsible to be devised. In the meantirr.e, I trust peace nd ordermay reign supremo throughout ne state, and ttiat all our industrial pursuits will be eiubarrafesed by political difficulties, and especially do I urge upon the poople of the two raees, who are numerically nearly equal in tfcia Stdto, to cultívate one toward the other nothiiig ïut fpelings of amity, good will aad uiu tual undcrstanding."
