There are many abse-bodied citizens Of
this State possessing wealth and influence.
who, thus far, have done little Of nothing to
sustain the flag which protects them. II is
their duty to use some small portion Of the
advantages which they possess, in aidins
enlstments, else it may become their privil.
ege to shoulder musket in the ranks. II
should never be said that the loyal citizens
of Iowa by their negligence or indifference,
allowed draft to become necessary to All
the requisitions Of the General Government
The memories Of the brave dead who pave
fallen upon the many battle-del Of the
Union forbid such stain upon tho honor oi
the State. Let all contribaie ofiheir time,
their money and their influence in generous
response 70 the demands of The Govern
meIt.
