New York, as Prussia differs from Great Britain,
or Holland from Portugal.

The Common Council and Aldermen of this city,
who, as a body, are opposed to the draught and
fully sympathise with their Irish friends and fellow-
countrymen, who resisted it with violence in the
streets, have taken a peculiarly Hibernian mode of
aiding the Government in its stress for soldiers. Mr.
Lincoln requires 300,000 men, of whom New York
must furnish 20,000 to 30,000, if the draught be en-
forced. Under these circumstances, these civic digni-
taries have resolved to tax the city in the sum of
2,500,000 dols., the said sum not to be expended in
bounty money to induce unwilling men to take
up arms, but to buy off from service, at 300 dols.
each, no less than 8,000 troops who may be con-
scripted. The neighbourieg city of Brooklyn
has voted 1,000,000 dollars for the same pur-
pose ; so that while Mr. Stanton calls for
soldiers, New York and Brooklyn respond by
providing Mr. Chase with greenbacks. The ab-
surdity of the proceeding is manifest, and, as far as
New York is concerned, M. Opdyke, the mayor,
has resolved to defeat the appropriation by his veto.
But as, on the other hand, the Aldermen and Com-
mon Council oan:,veto the act by passing the mea-
sure en its recommendation, by a majority com-
posed of a clear two-thirds of their number, they
have determined to adopt this expedient, and force
the measure upon the taxpaying community, to the
great delight, of course, of all the rowdy popu-
lation, and of many hard-working men, who
will cease to object to the draught if the pub-
lic will pay for their exemption. It is exceed-
ingly doubtful whether these civic functionaries
have the powers they claim in this respect,
and, if they make the appropriation, its
legality will be immediately tested before the
Courts. In the meantime, Mr. Lincoln will have
to wait for his soldiers, however urgently he may
need them.
