presume that enough matter has already been
published to show clearly TO every thinking person
that the Recruiting Service, as it now exists. is
an evil and great one. Although my remarks
may not be worthy of publication, they may be OF a
pcrusal by some enlisted in the Spring Of A6' aud
served until the close Of the war with Mexico a. Ill
the Summer OF Il > during part OF which ,imc WAS
ON the Recruiting Service. Now, after my personal
experience il seems perfectly absurd 10 me that suy
one and moro especially engaged in said service,
could have the bodnes TO attempt to argue In favor OF
the present snd past Of recruiting In the United
states Iknov-snd think H. B. :" knowledge very
limited II he does not also know-,hsi every Induce.
nents offered no matter whether false otherwise,
so thar Il can be rnsde by the Recruiting Officer 10 ap
pear plausible. But enough ! can prove az neediu)
my statements by soldiers who have served-kcgusIs
and Volunteers, othoers and privates fully concur
In all Mr. q has SAID sud hundreds there are who can
bear testimony OF its truth-myselt for oRe.
