The Draft i'm YamkeeIand.

From all we can learn there will be
but few Yankee conscripts in the ranks
of the 100000 about to be raised. The
Abolition element is very much in favor
OF war, so loLg as the bardships are en-.
dured by Democrats-but they have a
sincere affection for their own persons,
which induces them to avoid volunteers
ing or elIlsting, and to run away from
conscription or furnish substitutes. A
Connecticut paper asserts that in that
State not more than one-tenth Of the
quota will be forthcoming. In Boston
one thousand "loyal" men (AbolltionistS

Thousands have left New England in the

Gen. Grants Politics.

It has been for long time question
in dispute as to the politics of General
Giant. The Democrats have awarded
him credit without knowledge of his
politics. The Republicans have been
very shy of him because they are not
quite certain that he was touched
with the prevailing malady of the day.
Had they known his politics he would
have been driven from the field ere he
got to Vicksburgh. 1t now appears, by
the Galena Advertiser, that while Gen.
Grant was in the army he never voted,
but when he settled in Galena he decla|
red himself Democrat and voted for
Douglas in 1850. The N, Y, World
remarks truly upon this that it should
be understood that it requires a gooc
deal of moral courage in business mar
to ackno wledge himself Democrat in
Northern Illinois. That section of thu
country is more intensely and bigotedly
Abolitionized than even Massachusetts
or the Western Reserve. Gen. Gran
does not trouble himself much about po
litical organizations. His business is tt
obey orders and win all the battles h
can. He has had the good sense not II
write political letters or interfere in an
way with the newspapers.

What is a Free government

VIM. H. Seward, Secretary of State
in the Lincoln Cabinet, speaking of our
Government to Lord Lyons, the British
Minister, said:
II can touch o bell on my right hand
and order the arrest Of a citizen of Ohio;
can touch bell again and order the
Imprisonment of a citizen of New York,
and no power on earth but the President
can release them. Can the Queen oI
England in her dominions do as much?'

iSh Government, said:
"The poorest man in his cottage may
bid defiance TO all the forces ofthe crown

not strange to those who knew that these
nominations were all made secretly in
the League, and then put off upon the
outsiders by four of majority of the
delegates, being League men. This is
gross fraud, but as some mer

particular except that Burbick was not
with Morgan at the time, as captured

Garry to pilot Morgan away from New
Lisbon, as part of the compromise which
he had made with the rebel chief. Cur

account, to go himself and therefore
agreed that Burbick might go. 1t is

On the other hand, the strong Jackson
counties Of 1928 are as Democratic now
as they were then. The old jackson

rents subject to draft, the father, or if he
be dead, the mother, may elect which
son shall be exempt" is published, and
will hereafter govern:
"The only son Of aged and infrm pa

empt; but where there are two sons, both
are subject to draft until an election is
made by the parent, and the name Of
the one elected should be removed from
the list. After the draft is made the
