What We uuaI NOs FOrQet,

In the laet speech Of Douglas, delivered in
the Wigwam at Chicago, be gave utterance to
the following sentiments. The men who are
memory of his great name and influence to ad-
vance their selRsh purposes, aud whom he would
have spurned from him il be had lived, are
careful to avoid all reference TO the objects
which he said chou animate Government and
peopleln the prosecution of the war, and the
manner in which 1t should be conducted
Douglas thus illustrated his patriotism and his
humanity: a5ss tslrt.
"War does exist. It ia sad thought to every
patriot War--civil war--must be recognized
as existing In the United States We may no
longer close our eyes to that solemu TACT This
Government must be maintained the enemies
of the country overthroWn, and the more stu
pendous and overwhelming our preparations,
the lese bloodehed and the shorter the strug-
gle.
"Bnt, my countrymen, we must remember that
there are certain restraints upon men's actions
10 time OF war. We must mover forget that We
are civilized and Christian people, and that
the war must be prosecuted for the purposes
and In the mode recognized BY Christian nations.
There must not be war waged against the con-
stilutional rights of any people on earth, nor
must 1t be EAged sgainst women and children
and innocent persons. Sayages must not be
let loose, nor the horrOrs Of indiscriminate de.
aFuetion encouraged. ! say to you, will nev-
er sanction such acts OF warfare upon the rights
of others, but will beseeCh and implore my
couutrymen never to lay down their arms until
they recognize our constitutional rights"

rbe Draft VS.. Ncrro Enllstmsnts,

There is an obstreperous bow WOW among the
radical presses that are trying 10 hound on the
President to Issue proclamation calling on the
Southern slaves to rally to the standRfd OF the
Union. Some of these papers 60 so far IS 10
maintain that Is 10 wrong 10 the loyal white pop
ulatiou to subject them to the Inconvenience ol
draft, wheD, as they allege, multitudes OF
Southern negroes can be had az volunteers ior
the asking. This is an absurd appeal to the
prejudices Of an unFtaectiDg mob. The draft
| is q measure that must be accepted or con-
demued on lite merits, without reference to pos
sible proclamstions of emancipation IL Is sol
diers that the Government wants, and Il can be
said Of the draft, what can NOT be said of the
proclamation 10 persistently clsmored for, that
il Is certain to bring, within a short time, the
precise number required.
The aboVeis the opening paragraph OF lead
ing article in the New York World Of the 9Th
of August. In the whole article the World
does not appear to be opposed on principle to
the use of the Southern negroes, but insists
that they could not be raised In sufficient num-
bers to answer the wants Of the Government ai
this time, aud hence, it regards the draft as In
dispensable.
The World, It is to be observed, is leading
Republican Union paper, and lite statements on
the chief point in the above paragraph are all
to be taken as conclusive, The "obstreperOus
boW-Wow among the radical presses IL because
they do not wish their friends subjected to the
'inconvenience Of draft, when multtudes of
Southern negroes can be had as volunteers for
the asking" Itis because the cowArdly whelps
who run the " radical presses" are afraid to go
into the contest and take their share of the
dangers of war, that they are "trying to hound
on the President to issue proclamation calling
on the Southern slaves to rally to the standard
of the Union." The same is true of the whole
batch of Abolltionista. When you hear them
raising "boW WOW" and calling for the use Of
the Southern negro In the army, it is because
they do not want to be.subject to the ''inconven'
ience of the draft''-they want to shirk their
duty, and cowArd-like to put the negro 10 their
stead. All this class of howlers, whether they
rup the radical presses" or stand out as prom
inent brawlers on the street corners and high
ways, should be marked in ell time to come, By
the patriotic Union men Of the country, and BY
the brave men 10 the army, as polfoons and
towards, and held unworthy the association
respec. or confidence Of the true men of the
land.

rhc Argument closed. /.


Tie Springfield Rcpubliesn, alluding to the
decision of the President not 10 arm the blacks,
Gays:
The question is nov settled, and the Pfesi
dent has declared bis fixed policy on the subject
The argument should now be considered closed,
and no man of good seose and sound patriotism
can fail TO see that to agitate the people and
badger the President further on this subject is
to do an injury to the national cause We are
to fight the thing through as it stands, or sur
render to The rebellion. There is no other al
tentative. II anybody really thinks thas the
white men of this country nnotsubdne the re-
bellion, and that unless the negroes are permit.
ted to fight we shall fail and perish as q nation,
Why be must even keep saying so, We suppose
But Whoever believes that the white men Of
this country are able 10 maintain and defend
their government should scqulssce 10 the Pres
ldent's decision, and give his voice and his
strong arm to the government, and at the same
time dlscountenance all attempts to promote
discord and alienation among the people

An TncIpIenI ABsIillcn Esbeil'on ~

I, seema that for some time past . gang Of
AbolttlopIsts 10 Green county, Wisconsin, have
shown disposition 70 Violate the constitution
and laws Of the State and the pence Of the com
muniiy in which they are tolerated On sne
oslh ult, they held public meeting ana passeeu'
a preamble and resolutions. The resolutions
p,escrihed an oath Of allegiance to betakeD oy
tho cllizens Of that community, and declared
that any person refusing to take IL should DC
considered a public enemy, and expelled from
the community.
I, was also resolved that summary proceed
lnrs should be instituted to get rid Of those
whom these Abolitionists considered disloyai
persone, In pursuance Of the course indicated IN
General's PcPE's order No 3, dated July ~
which requires frst the expulsion OF persons
refusing to take the oath Of allegiance, and then
their execution in csse they return 70 sns'r
former homes. This order they resolved TO
carry out, 80 far as the ssme might be sppica-
BILE, tae same As though they were in General
PoFE's department and acting under his author
isy A copy Of General PoPE's order was 40

mit.ee OF fifteen 70 investigate and cit In Judg-
M meut on all cases CT refusal TO take the pre-
scribed oath A Home Gusid was organized
the same night, aud authorized and ordered 10
faithfully execute the decrees oi the Judicial
committee.
The handbIll containing ihe proceedings OF
the meeting, headed "Nohce to TraitOrs'" was
presented to Governor SALoMoS, who issued, IN
der date Of August 2, a notification to tho ju-
dicial committee of fifteen, tha. such proceed
inga we're entirely unauthorized and extra judi
cial, prejudcal to the interests of the country
aud unnecessary and uncalled for, and that 40
the Executive of the State, he felt il his duty
10 urge and insist that eli proceedings under
the contemplation Of the meeting referred to
should be Immediately abandoned hl-
Governor sALoMoN also stated that traitors
IN Wisconsin, of whose existence he must
doubt until positively established by proper in
vsstigatiop, must and should be silenoed aud
punished; but II could nos be the work OF SELF
constituted local committees.
The Revised Statutes Of Wisconsin provide
that II oDy person, "eisher verbally or b5 any
written or printed communication, )" shall threat
en- any injury 10 the life or property of another,
with the intent to compel any person TO threat
ened, "to do any act against bis will," he shall
be punished BY imprisonment in the State
prison or by foe not exceeding FIVE hundred
dollsrs Perhaps the mild course which Gov
ernor sALoMoS has taken with these Abolition
conspirators against the peace and safety OF the
community, may repress their spirit of laWless-
ness and violence; but if not, seriOus conae-
quences may be apprehended

An Abolition conclave met in Massachusetts

In pursuance to public call, a large gather
ing Of the representatives of that peculiar class
vas held at Island Grove, near Boston, and i'd
deesses OF a most virulent aud reasonable
description we're delivered by Wendell! Phillips,
F. Conway and others. The speakers Wed With
each other in their denunclatioDs OF the Piesi-
dent, their abuse OF Gen. Mcclellan, and in
their foul comments aud criticisms upon the
manner 10 which the war is conducted. Epi-
thets which even Southern journalists, Eilh all
their yindictiyeness and blackguardism, would
hesitate to apply TO che Executive and his Cen
erals, we're hurled without hesitation upon them,
while one of the orators even dared 20 urge the
necessity and Importance Of letting The South go,
unless emancipation ne proclaimed and en-
forced. Utr fi.g Ds15d
A "morAl coward" s"tortdisep and a
''bEoomstick" we're among the choice appella

spared in the structures Of these men upon the
