of enabling towns, BY giving them little further time
to raise their quotas by volunteers thus relieving them

peated opportunities for correction have not wholly
eradicated or prevented And It will by giving further
time resolve al the questions OF inequality or error into
a1uestlon not of the number Of men drafted but OF
bounties paid which inequality If proved hereafter can
easily be adjusted.
And finally, the Governor renews his appeal whichhe
has vanly made the unfaltcrng patriotism and
heroic character Of the people OF Massachusetts, and ex
horts them to reinforce without delay by these arms Of
