Poor fellows! Their fate will be the doom
of those who r einvited TO the same feast,
by our patriotic Governor.
We presume however that the Governor
will have no trouble to raise fifty, or even
a hundred thousand volunteers The
treatment Of those who have left :heir
homes tor this purpose, has been SO just
and hnmaneQl that thousands will soon
follow the example of those that preceded
them. While on the other hand, three or
four hundred loyal Leagues" have been
organized during the past year, ana each
league will furnish Of least one company,

We have no doubt that il Governor
Curtin would address q note TO the Loyal
Leaguers in our town, urging them to
march to the borders, the wigwam over
the way would soon vomit fo~rth-well-
probably-a regiment, or less. Patriots OF
the loyal league unsheath your maiden
sword. Let not the ghostly words of that
celebrated statesman, Thomas Corwin-
ebloody hands" ana "hDspiiable graves"
frightened you from the line OF your duty
, towards the American citizen Of African
descent" We therefore say 60 forth yea
loyal leagues and in the language Of that
celebrated hero Gen. Pope "defest and
shame turks in the rear and triumph
and glory are in the advance"
We hope we will not be charged in thus
exciting the "loyal' people of our com>
muuity with committing "disloyal prac'
tees" and we earnestly hope that every
advocate of The "irrepressible conflict"
will now stand up for what hehas spoken,
dreamed, voted and hurrahed for. Gentle
men in the name of an agonizing and a
bleeding country, 60 forth and practice
what you preach.
