I have cauvassed the entire North, and have
spoken to more than one hundred thousand per
sons, taking great pains to learn the actual con
ditiOn Of the Northern mind. There IS q settled
purpose on the part Of the Northern people, and
the loyal men Of the Northwest, to crush out the
rebelloB, at any and every cost Of men, money
and blood. The great body Of the people of the
loyal States have vowed, and their decree has
been ratified IN Heaven that none but the ban
neT OF glory and beauty, known as the stars
and stripes, shall ever h0as over any State in
the old United States. They hsve sworn that
this government shall never be divided, and that
this country shall never know but one govern
nlent, and that shall be tho goTeTuu5Ht Of tbs
United States.
/ have spoken in all the large towns On the
Hudson and through the Mohawk valley to this
city, and / am pleased to assure you that the
call OF Governor Morgan, IN response TO the
Presidents 100000 demand Of volunteers, is
responded 70 with slacrity, and soon New Y0rk's
proportion of them viii be in the field.
The recent order Of draft by the President
for 800 coo more meets with the enthusiasti5
approval OF old and young iu,ali directions, Gnd
the only regrets have heard expressed are, thag
he had not ordered draft for half a million.
The men taken from these Northern and blid-
de states are not even missed by these States.
Everything ls prosperous; crops are abundants
money IS plenty and the only evidence one sees
OF war, IS IN the news papers and tie rattle ok
drum and fife atrecruiting stations. True, irou-
clad monsters are building, and transports for
war purposes at various pOins-al going to
show that the government Is IN earnsst-tcrri5ly
