us militia men Of New York TO quit our oc-
eupations and go down TO the Carolinas TO

hamc claim is so rich, and so fresh to us
brought up in the traditions of our Govern

because it fills our mouth with laughter, and
our eyes with the tears that spring from ex-
cessive merriment We are very able
bodied man-on no plea exempt from the mil

The Conscrlpt Law.

We give our space to-day to the publi-
cation, in full. Of the Conscript Act. with
amendments, as Il became a law. 1t is a
matter that interests every man, woman,
and chila IN the North The infAmy Of
the bill has already been alluded to in
these columns. Itis unconstitutional, un-
lust, and tyrannical in the highest degree.
1t strikes down State sovereignty at sim
gle blow, and brings the States PROSTATE
at the foot of the general government, thus
consolidating despotism as pure and un-
mixed as that of Russia And like all
despotisms it discriminates in favor of the
rich man as against the poor. tprovides
that the rich man by the payment of three
hundred dollars, exempts himself from
the tolls, the hardships, and the privationS
OF the army, while the poor man, who is
unable to raise that amount, must be
dragged from his home and his family
leave them unprotected to the mercies oi a
cold and uncharitable woodland peril
his life for the liberty Of the negro and his
own enslavement. The poor mans life is
placed in the balance against the rich
mans paltry three hundred dollars. With
this act enforced, and the whole military
and monetary power of the country cen
tered in the hands 'f an imbecile and par
tizan President, the people will be made
slaves as abject as ever kissed the tyrants $
1od and sigh in vain for the milder rule
of the French or English empires In
this conscrption bill, every poor man, at
least, may read the decree of his enslave-
ment. How forcibly now comes home to
every heart the startling prophecy OF Ell
WOOD FISHER, uttered years ago, when
referring to the slavery question, he said
The American people, in their blind at-
tempts to give liberty to the negro wall
soon lose their own freedom" Too true
alas too true.
