white man between eighteen and forty five
years of age in the Confederacy to serve
in the rebel army. The Philadelphia
Press &. w. Forney) wonders if Davis
intends to wait for decision of the courts
before he compels the conscripts to take
up arms. The gist of this is that if 81
Davis" does not wait for a decision of the
courts, ga. Lincoln" ought to follow his
example. This is the Abolition style of
reasoning, They argue thus: The rebels
have Conscription law embracing all
white men; therefore, we should have one
embracing all white men, and all negroes
besides. The rebels use negroes to fight
for them; therefore, we should use them
too. The rebels are savage and barba
rous; therefore, we should be savage and
barbarous too And so on to the end OF
the chapter. We suppose the ineulcation
of these sentiments proves, in the eyes Of
the radicals, who act upon them, thai
superior civilization they talk SO much
about.
