APPROPRIATE.


To the Board Of Supervisors, we cay.
make a liberal appropriation in support
Of the families of oar volunteers, who
may enlist for the war, and are called
into actual service. The justice Of such
an appropriation, is SO apparant, that
we hope not q single member Of the
Board, will disgrace the county, or the
respectable body Of which they are a
member, by advocating = s;inted ap.
preparation, which shall barely be su'ii
Client to save the familics OF our noble
volunteers from actual starvation, or TO
cover their Iakedness with six penny
calico. We do not believe the majori
~ Of the Board will be actuatea by such
wan, Of true patriotism and kind gen.
crosby but AZ there generally are some
onposin, spirits 20 every good, and in
every assembled body, we almost fear
that lanlabls generosity nigh, be
crippled BY the counter blca,ing Of some
black sheep in the Aock, to the annoy.
ance Of all true and loyal men, aud the
comfort Of seccssionists.
Let every single member Of tina,
3 Yard look carefully at the facts in the
case and then see if they dare place
themselves wrong upon the record, by
opposing generous appropriations
We have the most liberal government,
Tor QUE Sd cxtensive,of any that appears
III the history Of the world, from the
joynusdays Of Alan and Eve in Elen's
garden to the harvest time of ls6l.-
II cost the founders Of it much bton,l
md treasure. The present generation
has never lost one drop Of blood, Or
contributed, directly, one cent of treas.

soRal liberty, ctr lives are made sacred
our person and property fully protected
and all without contributing one penny,
directly, for its support.
This model government is now as
sailed BY enemies As wicked as the devil
ever bargained for. They seek to over
throw j. il part Of the United States,
which i accomplished will very much

fh;s it the aaty ofeyery patriot to s,cp
forward and aid the government: a.

The government protects all and ex-
poets nt! to support it. Who then,
can say, 1T he will not support the
government, unless he has the seeds of

Our manly volunteers who step tora ard
