New England patriotism is of rathe
a.windys character. This is, perhaps
to be expected in a country whose pro
ductive energies are so largely deyote'
tothemultiplication Of flawyers, preach
ers, members of Congress, and tray
cling lecturers on the ''isms" ant
''0logies." Before the. war began
andlsince, New England hassbeen ex
ceedingly brave in words, and ,coulc
the rebellion have been put down BY
that ammunition, a its ashes would
long ago, have been trodden beneatl
the heels of Yankee sehtence-wcarer'
and rhetoricians. essr .., -
but New England patriotism is il
action rather, slow than otherwise
Governor Andrew, of Massachusetts
told the Secretary of War, in a letter
of extraordinary bravery, that, if the
President would only proclaim Aboli-
tion, the roads would swarm with the
sons of the Bay State rushing to the
field of action. The President has
proclaimed Abolition, but the roads
have not swarmed, In Boston the
draft proceeds in this wise: The Com
missioners meet, draw one man and
adjourn over. How long it will take
toproduce the promised swarm at this
rate is a question for the professors Of
mathematics. 'ssl 'sG' 'eaah $50 7fd a#
In Connecticut the result of the
draft, as paraphrased from the recent
message Of the Governor, is as follows;
s''Of 4.2l2 men drafted in that State only
To,sand l42 substitutes, were mustered in,
and Of these 81 deserted, leaving l37 as the
net result Of DRAFT oI 4,2l2 men," s.ga
What honest, Sincere, stupid fools
We were---we the people of Ohio and
Pennsylvania, and Indiana, and Illin-
ois! We thought, when the President
called for about one-third of our re-
naming able bodied men to go to the
slaughter-pens of Tennessee and Vir-
gina, that he wanted them. We sup
posed we were under some sort of OBJ
legation to see that they we're collec-
ted and forwarded. And what vexer-.
tions and sacrifices we made, half hi
ringaand half forcing our fellow citi-
xtns to leave their homes and families
to go and be shot at in Southern IA
vines and die fpestilcnce in Southern
marshes! " ssg tt qsa ii ,.s.. gs .g se

lesta word might slip out which would
be construed into discouraging enlist

community was being drawn out to
fight this New England war; for the
war of peddlers. of tin andpeddlers, of
the Gospel, of travelling lecturers, and

They are sharper people at the East
living nearer sunrise. The Abolition
Governorof New York gravely tells
the President that the Empire State
is unabEesCto supply its quota, and the
PresidentSs gravely sits down under
it. There is nothing more to be said.
Connecticut and Massachusetts follow
suit; and the fact only creeps out
through some act of official ineenti-
nence.p There is food for whole vol
ume Of reflection in, these facts, and
we commend them to the people,
