the United States and the accomplished petit
logger who, by virtue Of last years disasters
to the National arms and of the absence OF
One Hundred Thousand of our Voters in the
National armies has been temporarily inflicted
on our State as Governor. Mr.. Seymour sees
fit, in an official paper, to attempt to bully
the President into a surrender or postpone
ment of the Draft by such assertions and
covert meDaces as the following:
Il do no, dwell upon what believe would be the con'e
qusuce Of violent harsh policy before the cOnsniionay
OF the oct is tested You the immediate future as
weosI The temper Of the people to-day you can 'esiS
learn by consulting have done with men oil al p0'ea'
pdrte, and Of every profession and occupation
Gov. Seymour has right to speak Tor
those whose votes elected him, and We do not
here question his ayerment that they are op-
posed TO the Draft. But we dare him to pane
the Republicans whom he has cOnsulted and
who have given him any authority or warrant for
his threat OF the Three Hundred Thousand
who supported Gen. Wadsworth at our last
State Election, and of the Eighty Thousand
more legal voters who uOuld have supported
him had they not been absent in the military
service Of their country, and whom Gov. Scy-
mour aud his fellow partisans have, for obyi-
Gus reasons, persisted in DISTINGUISHING at our
ensuing election, there are not one in thou
sand opposed to the Draft. On tho contrary,
there are no. in our whole State five per cent
of those who want the Rebellion suppressed
who do not recognize the draft as necessary,
proper, and constitutional.
| Can we not speak for these with more au-
thorty than Horatio Seymour, who has ever
been their bitter antagonist
The Governor in effect demands of Tie Pres
dent that the Draft shall not be enforced
until its constitutionaty shall have been judi
cially affirmed (If he had pointed out the
constitutional provision which warrants such
pos.pouement, for such purpose, his require
ment would have seemed less unreasonable
The consttutiOnality of the act can only be
concusiyely passed upon by the Supreme Court
Of the United States, which will not again be IN
session til next December. Practically, there
fore he insists that no re-en;orcements shall be
sent to our wasted armies in the field until
next Spring, save as they may be obtained by
Volunteering. But experience has abundantly
shown that me imminent prospect Of a DrGtl Is
The indispensable impulse 10 Volunteering. Thus,
we raised nearly Halt Million Men for the
Union armies during the later half OF last
year-nearly all Volunteers; but, had there
been no Draft impending. we should never
have obtained the half of ;hem. Each
State County, Township, knew what was
required of it; and that Drafting must supply
what Volunteering did not. Hence public aud
private eiiorts-Distrct, County, and Town
Committees, Bountes, Meetings, &c. whereby
the men were obtained, rs they could no,
have been obtained. Now we are 10 20 over
thrice.glcaned field, and OF course the diff
cuty is augmented while the results are d.
mlnished. 1t would be harder 10 raise One
Hundred thousand Men now by naked Nolun.
teerlng than Three Hundred Thousand then
And 40 Three Hundred Thousand would have
been raised IN four months then, but for the
inexorable Draft in the back ground, indicat-
ing that the men must be had, IN one way or
another.
What opposition 10 the Draft means, is per
fcctly understood on both sides OF the Atlantic.
