The last call for 300, 600 additional yolun-
teers haTirg been issued, 1t becomes a matter
OF importance as to Whist shall be the course
OF the Democracy In view of this fresh cor.
tingency in the progress of the war. lam
assured that the matter has been already can
vassed In the councils Of the select few who
do the thinking for the masses. and tnat the
course Of the party has already been deter
mined upon. The secret societies have also
received their instructions, and these instruc.
tions include the following ideas:

course, under no principle Of morality or
justice are they called upon to MD 1t. On the

to be thrown In the way of the successful

this, The copperleads will In the first place
draft Ut cessary, Of which they will seek to
take advantage Gs they did the last for politi-

SUCCESS of the War Is Acknowledged to be the
destruction Of his party?
