fore y o'clock, amid loud cheers. Through
=, ont the proceedings, the large audience
was "a the best possible humoI, evidently
enjoying the announcements, as keenly as
II they were listening to the quips, and
witnessing the dFOlleTies Of 8 frst-class
comedian As the name Of q party in
the hall or Of sny person wen known to
the crowd was rung out, there was an ex-
plosion Of chesrs."
At Montpelier, Vermont, The Freeman
says
The desire to see the list Of drafted
men in this sub-distriet eliminated in 8
condemned jam in end about The Freeman
ofice, when We publish in sn extra the
names Of those drawn for Montpelier and
adjoining towns. The drafted men took
their lot good naturedly, and in tbs joking
respecting it had rather the better Of those
LEFT out"
The Free Press says those drafted men
in Burlington marched in the evening
with fife and drum through the streets.

Preparations for Renewing the Resist
ance 60 the Draff--actiOn OF Governor
seym0Hr. f.aIe-
A responsible correspondent Of the New
York Times makes the following state
ments, which the Times says editoriaIly, it
hiss heard reported from various other
quarters; -lr
HThere is an organization in this city
% and vicinity to resist the drsft. 1t is very
r strong in New York and Brooklyn, ana
means mischief The leaders have made
oVertures 70 Governor Seymour TO act win
them, and they offer, if he wiz place him
self at their head, to maintain the full
sovereignty of the State Of New York
They put themselves upon the Democratic
platform of State rights and tell him that
.-iiio it is his duty to use them in any struggle
that may ensue-
1.-THE Governor, with full knowledge of
this organisation, and that it is an armed
BOuy WhllnB lls opportunity 70 LAKE INC
field, does not act against them, but tenn
poEiEs5, and talks, and lets matters drift
along BE seems 70 hope that something
viii happen 10 avoid collision with the
General Government thst men win vOlun
tesr, or that in some other way the draft
viii notbe made. -lc
"In the meantime, with this treacheF-
Gus enemy in our midst, armed and or
ganized, and eOquetting with the Cover
nor, no adequate preparation seems to be
making by loyal citizens to sustain the
Government We act upon the supposi-
ton that General Dix understands the
whole mailer and has force enough for his
purposes -,-s.
al cannot find that the General Govern
ment has over I've thousand troops in this
vicinity. The regiments returning from
the South are being mustered out Of the
National service as fast as possible, and
they pass ct once into Governor Seymour's
hands. If he sides with these revolu-
tionists, and stands up with them, as they
-q still hoPeh he will, for State rights he is the
-57a Commander-in-Chief Of the State militia,
i10l and General Dix has no control over them.
If Governor Seymour was Vallsndig-
ham or Thomas Seymour, be would not
hesitate, and we should have civil war in
our midst. Whether we shall not drift in
TO il by his irTesoIue conduct remains to
he aeeu ~ | .--.a
