policy of enlistDg half million Of men for the
war, says:
The day Of compromise with treason has irreyocably

TO come if we fight for century. There is perfect
unaDiuy of sentiment in Massachusetts. Party names
aud Jarty creeds are utterly ignored end forgotten.

ernmcnt, ard the emphatic punishment and solemn ex-
tineton Of traitors the catholic religion of US OIL
And it ls a religion Of mercy. We have always been
impressed with the widom of Washington, who, when
advised that i've thousand men would suffice TO queli
Shayss Rebellion, replied: " Then / will send fifteen
thousand" There can be no intake about that.

rather than of the regulars in chief Not that the
former are willfuly derelct but that they naturally
suffer from want Of experience.
