Propositions for Recruiting In the
South.
A. a. Lawrence md others Of Boston have
addressed memorial to Secretary stantop,
suggesting that the loyal States be allowed
to recruit whites and negroes in the reclaimed
sections Of the South to I'LL up their quotas,
The following good reasons arc urged for the
proposition:
In The free states the great numbers a1-
ready drawn from the workshops and fields
have seriously embarrassed MANY branches If
industry npon which the production Of tho
country depends, aud it 10 clearly desirable to
reduce the call upon such RESOURCES to the
lowest point which is consistent with the
vigorous prosecution Of the war. On the
other hand there are large sections Of the
country where the rewards of industry arc
uncertain, when large numbers of men. black
and white, have been thrown ont Of Their
usual occupations, and large Numbers OF those
lcse able azc appealing to tho charities Of the
government and OF individuals to save them
from actual destruction by cold and hunger.
Sound political economy, humanity and com
mon sense equally demand that every effort
should be made to use this uucmploved 1,nn
ulation as far as possible for 1ilinr our armies
instead Of drawing too largely upon the we'll
palo and productive classes OF the loral
states. The producing states can well afford

citizens from at least part of the new cali,
and at the same time confer positive bcnefit
upon the loyal and pcrsecuted people Of the
disafccted States from whom no uuotas haye
been demanded.
For these and otler reasons we earnestly
recommend that per1nissions should be i'm
