EXECUTIVE CuHmr, ALnANY, Oct %.
The President Of the United States
has called upon me, as Governor OF
tho State of New York, 10 fmnjshits
quota Of tlrce hundred thousandmcn
10 recruit the volunteer forces OF the
United States, which will be largely
reduced during the coming year by
the expiration Of tho terms OF enlist
mont ..Hr
At this time the defenders Of the
national capital arc menocod by a SUI
parior force, the Army Of the Cum
berland is in an imperilled condition
and the military operations of The
government aro delayed and hindercd
by the want ofadequate military pow
en- and are threatened with serious
disaster. In this emergency 1t is the
duty Of all the citizens 70 Listen TO the
appeal put forth by the President and
TO give Efficient and cheerful aid in
filing mp the thinned ranks Of our ar
mics. IL is due 70 our bIctlrcn in the
field, who have battlcd SO heroicly for
the flag of our country, the Union OF
the States and TO uphold the constitu-
ton, that prompt and voluntary aSsis-
tancc' slould be sclit-to Them in this
momcnt of peril. They went forth in
the full confidence that they would at
all times receive from their tellQw-cit
izeDs at homo a generous and efficient

ton of men and money, and not 10y Il

Tho Gresident also ADVISES the citi-
zens OF the several States that, in the
event OF The failure to raise the quotas
assigned TO thcm, a draft shall be
made for4thc deficiency, to commence
on the 9TH Of January next.
Not ouly does duty TO cur soldiers
in the field and the honor Of the ma
ton demand that we shall continue to
fill our armies by voluntary enlist
monts, but the interests of al classes
in society viii be promoted by the
success Of that system. The unequal
burthens which CONSUMPTION unavoid-
ably inllicts on n portion OF society,
not only cause great distress and in
Jury to individuals, but are more hurt
full TO the Whole community than the
cqualzod distribution of the cost and
sacrifices of volunteering, which more
perfectly adjusts itself TO the condition
of all classes. The bountics which
will I've paid by the General Govern
ment, aud in this State 10y the govern
mcnt of New York, are extremely lib
eral, and much larger than those horo-
toforo given. They viii aid the vol
unteers who shall enter the service to
mako immediate and ample provision
for those dependant upon them.
