In response to the call of the Cow
ernment, or rather in aid of it, meet
ings are being held all over the coun-
try, at which patriotic appeals are
made for troops, and large sums of
money are subscribed to aid in the
cause; but it is not to be concealed
hat-yolunteers do not come forth with
that alacrity and in the numbers desi,
red. Many people appear to be sur-
prised that the fact is so, yet do not
seem able to explain the cause.
In all previous calls the ranks were
filed with commendable. promptness.
The Democracy furnished from it's
ranks very full proportion, and,
though in the minority at the ballot
box, it had and now has decided ma,
jority in the ranks of the army. The
portion of the Republican party who
were conservative in their views also
responded well; but the Abolition wing
"a large proportion of the party
did not respond to any considerable
extent. This wing of the dominant
party remained at home, and occupied
its time in slandering and villifying the
Democracy, and its leaders in Con-
gress, and the Legislatures of the
States were busy inventing schemes
and plans to change the object and
purposes of the war, and to, convert it
into an Abolition crusade. Evennow,
with the great demand and absolute
necessity of the Government for more
soldiers, this class of men do not vol
unteer, but are busy all the while in
pressing their Abolition schemes, and
gauging the loyalty of their neighbors,
who cannot and will not agree with
them, but are for a war simply to de-
fcnd the Federal authority, vindicate
the Constitution, and preserve the
Union. .o-,,.s.,.
IF these aAbolitionists were to step
into the ranks, take the musket on
their shoulders, eschew their disgust>
ing Abolition schemes, and cease SLAM
dsringg their neighbors, we think the
demands of the Government for troops
would be supplied in very short time.
Will they do so?-[statesman. ~
