Review.
The Republican party undoubtedly pre-
fers Democrats in the army to members OF
its own organization, for the reason that it
can there by military stingeDcy crush the
democracy out of them, while its own de-
lectabls disciples stay at home to vote
The response Of the Republican masses to
the Presidents call for volunteers is only
less remarkable for its feebleness than the
response of the Radical Governors. Hav-
ing dampened, by their jacobincal schemes,
the democratic ardor for volunteering, and
having placed it, by means of Government
patronage, in the power of its votaries to
pay the $500, in case of draft, the Rspub-
lican organization is now dlscouraging en-
listmsnts in order to humiliate and de-
moralise the democracy by forced con-
scription SO odious and manifestly unconsti-
tutionala as to aggravate its victims into
course of action calculated to disgrace
them in the eyes of the Government
This we know is very serious Charge
But we are sure the discriminating reader
will draw similar conclusions from extracts
below. The Philadelphia North american
endeavors in an article, infamous hey ond
conception, to impute party and unpatriotic
motives to Governors BRAMLETTE, PARKER,
SEYMOUR, BRADFORD and GAMBLE, in issu
ing their Proclamations in response to the
Presidents call for 100000 men.
To illstrate the depth of party mean,
ness-malignancy and criminality to which
th. Radicals can descend, we quote the
following from the american:
They (the Republicans have no record
that needs explanation on that subject
They are not responsible for the opposition
to the CONSUMPTION stirred up by the cop
perheads, aud they never demanded the
substitution of volunteering for drafting.
Seymour's reasons for his course are pure
" political. Volunteering suits him exact
ly, because under that system the army is
filled up from the ranks OF the Republicans
and war Democrats, the copperheads staying
at home to do the election business. Ifany
Republican Governor is anxious to foster
this state of things, be is at liberty IT, fol-
low in the wake of Seymour. As for the
Union men of Pennsylvania, they have new
er feared a draft, and will take no particu-
lar trouble to avoid it.
The volunteering system has had full
and fair trial in the State of New Jersey
during the very time that the draft was
pending in New York and Philadelphia, and
yet, with enormous bounties aud strenuous
efforts, the State failed to raise her quota,
and has been compelled to resort to 8
draft for the remainder. So it will be IN
New York. The people have found out tue
partisan object of these Governors in de
manding the volunteer system, and are de-
ternined to foil them.
The Republi "never demanded the
substitution of volunteering for Grating"
is the shameless confession of aileading Or
gan Of the party. They preferred rather
the exercise of the central power of the
General Government, to force men, not
withstanding all the State barriers in their
way, to JOIN in war perverted almost hope
lessly.
from its original purpose. 1t is part of
their great centralizng machinery. Hence
they now seek to discredit the efforts of
patriots to fill up the decimated ranks of
our army by volunteering, and compel a
return to q CONSUMPTION perhaps more de-
grading to the States, than That sought to
be enforced by the present Act of Congress.
How brightly does the patriotism of the
Governors we have alluded to shine in
contrast with the contemplate and dark
purposes of the destructionists in power.
Hear how Gov. SEYMOUR, though revied
aud spat upon by the Administration;
though detesting its policy aud condemn
ing its aims. Speaks:
