Last winter railroad was chartered
from the head Of Lake Superior to the
Mississippi, leaving it to the company

Drafting.

{ Our Governor should begin At once,
and draft for the Sd aud 4th regiments.
This is the equitable plan Of making an
army and compels disloyalty to contrib
ute it. share to the defence Of the rights
Of all. Why not depend on voluntary
contributions for u'ony to support the war
if We must dercnd on volunteers to fight
the battles. 1t is not just to compel loyal
and brave men to do all the fighting ;
this part Of the country never will contrib.
ute her proportion Of men unless they are
drafted. II enough loyal men go from
Stearns county to make her share We
doubt if the government can collect the
war tax here, without, sending troops
The Democracy of this section have been
80 long under the political training: Of Z
U. Hamliu and S.. B. Lowry that it is
quite useless to attempt reaching any
large number Of them by appeals to patri-
oti,m, for the minority Of them are seces-
sionists. They talk, openly, ofarmed re-
sistancc to the collection Of the war tax -;
aud loyal men do not care to 60 to the
seat Of war and leave their families aud
properties at the mercy Of men whose cho.
sen leaders are avowed secessionists. We
have been requested by Messrs. Andrews
and McK:lvey to make an appeal to the
patriotism Of our readers in order to get
the company filled which they are trying
to raise, but We think St. Cloud patriots
should unite and call on the Governor to
draft. Thus, part at least, Of the cow
ards and traitors will have to go, where
bayouet" will keep them in order, and
compel them to do their duty.
