SUBSTITUTES FU1k Nks6ROE8~
Every white u1an drafted INTO the army,
while negro volunteer Is rejected, or ex-
empted, qoes to the srar a. thai zsqros sab
statute, seithout bounty. A full regiment Of
colored men from Chicago were rendered
TO Governor Yates yesterday. II the Cor
ernor is not allowed to accept them, 8 full |
regiment Of white men must be drawn |
from the pursuits Of business and the 80
ciety Of their families. to FL the place Of
this colored regiment Is this the Presi-
de1t's decisionf If 50, we suppose it can
be endured until the force of public opin-
ion shall oEerbear it, which will not be a
lorg time. II such be bis decision, it ex-
hibits tenderness toward the colored
race, and disposition to shield them from
the hardships Of warfare, which We we're
not prepared to expect
It behooTes every man Who does not
wish to be turned into a private soldier, as
the substitute for negro, without bounty,
to make his voice heard in this crisis The
country must be saved through its lawfully
constituted machinery. President Lincoln
must be told by SO many voices, and in
such decided tones, that his policy is un-
just to bis own kindred and race, that he
cannot fail to hear. There is neither sense
nor decency in compelling man doing
business Of $780, q year, with hundred
laborcrs and their families dependent on
his enterprise and success, to leave all and
shoulder musket while thousand color
ed men around him would GLADLY take his
,musket and step into his place in the
ranks. When that necessity comes-when
the man Of large business and great value
to the community can find no one black OF
white to 60 in his place, then he will 60,
and go chee1ful]y If he is q patriot, aud
serve his nine months, trusting the con-
sequences to God, his Father. But
while there are thousands OF men
in the North and tens Of thousands
in the South, who owe the same
allegiance to the land Of their birth that
We Of the white race do, is it just to the
white race to exempt them from the hard
shirs and privat1ons Of military service1
