In general terms, however, 4 will call your
attention TO the families Of indigen. volunteers.
Let me assure yen that no feeling officer can
hear with indifference the declaration of a good
soldier, that so far as he knows or believes,
his wife and children hare not the necsssarie=
of life. The soldier, ont Of his pay, is often
compelled 10 provide necessaries for himself,
and owing TO the high prices Of provisions, his
whole pay is not enough to support even a
moderate family. If the battles of this war
are forght by the men Of the land, it Is but
right that the wealthy should bear the pecun-
larry burden. Let me earnestly ask such legis-
lation Is shall reach the evil.
In conclusion--I have baen elected BY the
people of the State, and not by party. clique
