The world needs to be shown, and is wait
ing to see that our government By the peo-
pie, can confidently command the support
Of it's citizens, and make the duty Of the In
daSiduA to the State debt to be collected,
and always at par, and not a donation to
be withheld or diminished at the will OF
the donorR
As soon aa any Of our people cease to
recognize it as their pleasure to volunteer;
as soon as it begins to be left to earnestly
loyal men alone to fill the ranks and bear
the expenses Of the war, comes the time
for government to cqualize the burden and
exempt no member Of the State from du-
ties that belong alike to all. We need now
to show the world that the United States, in
It's struggle with q powerful rebellion, can
command the lives and fortunes Of all its
citizens. We need to demonstrate to those
who come to our shores from abroad, that
this is the price Of citizenship under our
flag, the purchase money Of their new na-
donality.'
This must not be delayed. The entire
North should be put upon war footing.
We need the instant organization and mo-
Utilization Of our entire military strength.
This rebellion must and msy be drowned
out and smothered by the millions of free,
| men the Government can command and
win dignity before the world by its proud
confidence in commanding it Let the
draft be for million Of men, and that
forthwith. one-ha1f may take tho field,
the remainder will constitute reserve
ready for all e1igencies. For all this the
people are ready. It is on their tongues
and in their hearts. and if the government

it, the fault will be with itself and not will

The Illinois regiments ia Gen Whlace's

THE POLITICAL CAMPAIGN.
The people Of the United States will
soon be called upon to say, BY their votes
what policy shall prevail IN the national
councils during the ensuing two years. |
Congress, at its late session, passed, aud |
the President approved, al act to confs-
cate the property and free the slaves OF |
rebels, Against this act. in all shapes and
at all stages, the so-called Democratic
party, under the lead Of Vallsndigham and
Richardson, fought most strennously. In
their political conventions and party organs:
they are still contesting it with all the
strength they can muster. Bewaiing the
cost Of the war and the approach Of the
tax7gatherer in one breath, they are de-
nouncing law which puts just proper
lion Of the burden upon armed traitors In
the next. The Chicago Times speaks dis
tinctly on this point It says:

Here is an issue which every man can
understand. Belt known to loyal Demo-
crats everywhere that the test Of their
party allegiance is the repeal Of the confca-
tioH act. As earnest advocates Of that act
before it was passed, and as jealous sup
qorters Of it now that it is the Law Of the
land, We joycully accept the issue thus
made up. So plain is it that the wayfaring
man, though fool, need not err therein.
So utterly traitorouE and abominable is the
spirit which seeks to shield Jefferson Davis
and his fellow conspirators from the just
consequences Of their Internal acta, that
we can predict for its disciples
the most stunning overthrow that
ever met political party since
the foundations Of the world were
laid. We hear Of pro-slayery politicians
all over the country, (and there are plenty
Of such birds In C1icago}, urging their fol

With patriotic Hberality worthy Of all
praise, the Chicago Board Of Trade filled
up their battery in some three days. Is is
no; to be doubted that the large bounty
offered by the Board brought out the men.
The ranks are now full and regiment is
now forming to support the battery. Let
its ranks be filed up in the shortest posi-
bic time, for their country will need their
services as soon as they can be drilled and
prepared for the field This good work
having been commenced should be COM
plctcd4 But while every body will rejoice
nj so noble an achievement, it should not
be forgot n that Chicago has five other
tatteries, viz: Taylor's Woods Water
houses Bouton's and slfversparrc's,
That most richly deserve her fostering
care. Some Of them hare won
the highest lonors in the hardest fought
battles Of the war. Every citizen Of Chi
cago has reason to be proud Of them. But
tits a TACT that the large bounties Uttered to
recruits By the Bnard of Trade absolutely
prevent these batteries from filing up the
places made vacant by disease and the
battle field Recruiting officers are noa
here, if We mistake not, from fur Of these
batteries, but as they can only offer gov
crnmcnt bouuties, of course they can dc
nothing. One, and in some cases, TWO gum
