ing nctr. The important work that
should engage tho attention Of every
man in Seneca County to that time,
should be in making an effort to procure
Volunteers to fill up the quota of this
County, and avoid the draft. The armies
" the nation must be filled, aud II II is
not done by Volunteering, you can de-
pend upon /, that tho draft will certainly
take place. The Government is in dead
cnrncst this timc--thcro will be no more
postponing the draft, and those who nrc
able and capable Of bearing arms to de-
fcnd the nrg Of their country, nnd will
not volunteer, must run their chance Of
being conscriptcd il they urc lucky
enough to draw prize in Uuclc SANS
military lottery, they will have to face
the music or procure n substitute. The
three hundred dollar exemption law, there
is no doubt, will be repealed, as soon as
Congress convcnos. Then, that loop.
hole will be closed, against all who are
able TO pay three hundred dollars, and
IL drafted, aud do not desire to 60, will
have to pay an enormous price for sub.
stiiutc, and il failing to procure one, will
have to submit TO the Conscript Act, and
shoulder his muskct. Then, il il not
much better TO volunteer aud clear our
county Of the DRAFT! Ger rainly il is
The great work, and the immediate at
tcntion of every man should now be
directed to this important matter. II
should be the pride Of every Township,
Ward aud Borough in Seneca county, to
I'LL up its quota by voluntary cnlislments
at the earliest possible moment. The
only way to secure soldiers. is for every
man to put his shoulder to the wheel aud
push forward volunteering till the quota
is made cut. The people of Seneca
county can do this long be fore tho 5th OF
January il proper excttions are made AT
ONCE, and place cur county outside the
iaflucncc Of the draft. The time is get
ting short Now is the time to act.
The Government calls upon Seneca
County for three hundred and .6fty-nine
able bodicd men. Unless this quota be
provided for prior to January 9th, 1864
the men required will then be drafted, OF
conscriptcd. A systematic effort will re-
lcvc our County from conscription.-
Considering fairly all the questions en-
tcriug into the enforcement OF the con-
scription at, and remembering the lib
crul bounlics offered by the Government
we are satisfied the public service will
be promoted in higher and surer de-
gree by volunteers than by conscripts.
