WHY the DIfferencef

In the Northwestern States the quota of
troops called by the President has been filed
either by enlistment or draft In Wisconsin
some trouble has been experienced IN drafting,
but military power has enforced it. New York
has not filled her quota by volunteering. Why
is it that drafting has not been resorted to in that
State to make up the number of troops due from
her under the calls of the President? Be it
remembered, also, that the State Administer alton
in New York is Republican
The New England States have not filed the
quota of troops required of them, and drafting,
to make up the deficiency, if attempted,
has been abandoned. Yet the High Priests
of Aboltionism promised that if the President
would issue an emancipation proclamation 4
million of would promptly volunteer to
fight under that banner But in all Yankeedom,
in all Abolitiondom, we fail to hear that one
Abolitionst has redeemed the pledge. Why
this difference between the East and the Westl
The North west has done more than her duty in
furnishing the fighting men. She bears more
than her proportion of the burdens of the war
and taxation. Do not these facts strikingly con-
trast the patriotism of the West and the selfish
ness and avarice of the East1 Why is it that the
Administration exhibits this partiality forsthe
cotton nabobs OF New England whose support of
the Government AID the policy which should
guide the nation, is influenced solely by sectional
and personal interestsl

Anti-sIavery KesoIuions-A Curious



Reminiscence OF IS4S.
Most of our readers can remember fourteen years
back, and many of them years anterior to that.
They will also remember the celebrated Corr
plain old AbOtionist from New York who &C.
cupied a seat in Congress in 1913. He was CO.
temporary with WILMoT. GIDDINGs, GREELEY, of
New York, (HoRAoE,) LINCOLN. of Illinois,
(ABE,) Horace MANN, RooT, of Ohio-all that
survive being AboIitionists. Mr.. Corr, on
the Dist day Of December, lS4s, introduced the
following resolution into the House:
WHEREAS, The traffic now prosecuted in this
Metropolis of the Republic Washington in hu-
man beings, chattles. is contrary natural
justice and the fundamental principles of our DO
litical system, and is VIGOROUSLY reproach to
country throughout Christendom, and a seri-
Gus hindrance to the progress of republican lib
erty among the nations of the EARTH therefore,
ResotDed. That the Committee for the District
of Columbia be instructed to report bill, as
soon as practicable. prohibiting the slare trade
in said District"
This resolution, it will be seen, was not to
abolish slavery, or the holding of sLauss, but to
prevent Shareholders from distant States bringing
their slaves to Washington for sale, and making
IL a market for such ehattIes This was the meaning
of the resolution. IL had no reference to abol-
ishing slavery in the District of Columbia. The
yeas and nays were called on this question, and
the vote stood: Yeas, SO; nays, 90
The most singular feature Of this vote is yet to
be told Among those who voted for the reso-
luton we find CATHcARr, HENLY, ROBINSON and
RocKHILL. Of Indiana; FARAS. FRIES, STARK
WEATHER. of Ohio; MoCLELLAND. of Michigan
all Democrats. Among those who voted against
the resolution, we find classed the names of DUNN
and THOMPSON, of Indiana; KESSoN, of Ohio;
and ABRAHAM LINCOLN, Of IIlinois-all who sur
viTe being advocates for abolishng slavery ev-
erywhere-regardIess of time, place and circum-
stance
Fourteen years make a vast change in some
mems principles and feelings and especially
when they give up to party even the smallest re-
spect for the Constitution, the laws, and the
rights of the States which compose the Ameri
can Union In l645, LINCOLN refused to abolish
the right of the Shareholder to make Washington
sLaDe market In 1862. he wipes out the right
of the people there to hold slaves at ALL The
thing is easily explained He was Henry Clay

The Republican election Judges in the townof
Obern, Lorain county. Ohio. allowed sixty-seye
negroes to vote at that precinct. at the October
election. The names of the Garkeys are pub
lished, and the thing proven beyond all doubt.
1t is supposed that negroes voted in other town
ships Of that county, and an examination is now
frends must be very hard run FOR votes when they
resort to such dark tricks. We suppose when
LINcoLSs emancipation scheme is properly carried
out, all the contraband darkeys will be brought
into the free States to vote down the candidates
of the white people. Indiana has law against
this class of population coming within her bor
ders, and if the Governor refuses to enforce it, it
will be done for him by proper authority

The Montpelier (Vermont) Journal contains
a letter from a soldier in the 9Th Vermont regi-
ment, dated Camp Allemands. Louisiana, giving
an account of the progress of the Union army in
that neighborhood. 1t appears that the property
of Colonel RICHARD TAYLOR (son of General
ZAcHARIAH TAYLoR) had been con6scated by
some one-though without the intervention of
either Judge or jury-and the Yankee soldiers
proceeded to help themselves in the old fashion
ed style of the English in India or Ireland We
will let this man tell his own story. Describing
the plantation of Colonel TAYLOR, he SAYS:

sugar cane, which must rot upon the ground if
the Government does not harvest il. i wish you
could have seen the soldiers plumber this panta-
ton. After the stock Was driven off, the boys
began by ordering the slaves to bring out every

From the Springfield Republican.
The Crimson Tree.


Ipassed through the DDS one autumn day,
And watched the flashing glory
OF oak and walnut, and maple and FIR,
And needed their saddening story.
The sermon they preached was searching and aesp;
But the beauty Of their strain
The glittering hues on the mountain steep,
flushed the troubled thoughts again.
Picture worthy of Artist divine,
Where splendor heaped on splendor.
Where lghtness with dai k, where somber with gay
Where rocks and LEAKAGE tender,
Where blue and green, and golden, and brown,
Melt into an artists dream.
And this pictured temple, myriad hued,
Reared on the faded sod,
Made me inwardy murmur, in accents subdued,
ats Builder and Maker is God.''
As looked saw the color of blood
One tree will crimson dye
Reached upward above the colored flood,
And touched the gentle sky.
Yet twas hue from Gods own hand,
His touch had set I: there,
Who never could impose ON Himself command
To mar dream so fair.
And so when look another scene,
The blessings Of Home and Land,
The flashing, golden, myriad ints,
The splebdors every hand,
And see the solemn crimson OF blood,
II blends with the flashing glory,
And Gods own pencil throws a flood
Of light on the saddenng story.
And though we sometimes sit and weep
At the crimsoned waters flowing,
At the crimsoned leaves on the mountain side,
At the crim>Oned sod so growing
Yet this blending of tints, this somber with gay,
Reveals the hand of the Lord,
And We gladly yet all soemny say,
Its Maker and Builder is God'
