The Recent Drafs.

The time having expired for drafted men
to report, the Marshals are busted in gath
ering up the skedaddlers and strays, who,
we are informed, equal or exceed in num-
Der the proportion Of deserters from the
first draft. The Provost Marshal of this
District has already posted a list of several
hundred non-reporting drafted men, for
the arrest of each of whom reward is
offered, and We presume another and long
er list will soon be advertised. These ske-
daddlers have taken to the woods for hid
ing, or seek egress from the State by the
roads to British America or Western Iowa.
We are told, too, that there are towns and
part of counties where the drafted men re-
main at home, refusing to come in and re-
port, and threatening resistance to any
force that may be sent to arrest them. We
hope and believe that no organized resist
ance to the law can be made in Minnesota,
and that patient submission to the necessi-
ty of the case will follow the first excited
thoughts and resolves of the unfortunate
drafted, but we know that where the army
is being reinforced by one man through
the direct operation of the draft, our State
is losing half dozen or more of its citi-
zens who leave their homes and professions
rather than be forced into service. The
disastrous effect upon the Industrial inte-
rests of our State, as we'll as upon individ-
uals and families, is already being expe-
rienced in the country and must soon come
home to every family in the State.
General resistance to the law can give
no relief to the community, but would
rather injure it. individuals or small
bodies of men might as well undertake to
batter down Fort Smelling by bunting
their heads against its stone walls, as to
endeavor by force to prevent the Govern
ment from enforcing its CONSUMPTION law.
But there is way in which the people can
hope to relieve themselves from the neces-
sity of further drafts. Vote for MCCLRL-
Ian for President. He will endeavor to
restore the Union, not to subjugate the
the South, and hundred thousand SOL
diers backing up his conciliatory policy
will be more efficient than five times their
number sustaining the DISCRIMINATING pol
icy of the Lincolnites.

The alarming strides towards central

The alarming strides towards a central
consolidated despotism, now being made bv
ABRAHAM LINCOLN and bis minions sbould
arouse the people to a consideration of
their constitutional rights, and induce
them to carefully examine the foundations
of the Republican Government. The cleo
ton of LINCOLN will result in the complete
overthrow of State rights, and the estab-
lishment of central despotism sustained
by military force and standing army.
Edward LIVINGSTON, a man regarded
throughout Europe as the greatest legal
genius this country has produced, thus
warned us years ago against executive en-
croachments:
THAT the theory OF the Federal Government
being the result of the general will of the peo-
pie of the United States in their aggregate
capacity, founded, in no degree ON compact
between the States, would tend to the most
dstrous practical results: that it would place
three fOurths of the States at the mercy of one
fourth, and lead inevitably to a consolidated
Government, and finally to monarchy, if the
the doctrine were generally admitted, and if
partially so. and opposed, to civil dissention."
The theory here spoken of is the theory
of the abolition party. That party believes
this government is not compact between
the States, and their belief is now bearing
practical fruits. The States are being
robbed of their rights, and by the process
of drafting the people are gradually being
subjected to L1NcoLN's military yoke.
ANDREW JACKSON said in his Farewell
Address
The legitimate authority of the Government
is abundantly sufficient for all the purposes for
which it was created and its powers being ex-
pressly enumerated there can be no iustitica-
ton for claiming anything beyond them. Ev-
cry attempt to exercise power beyond these
limits should be promptly and firmly opposed
for one evil example will lead to other meas
ures still more mischievous and if the prin-
ciple of constructive powers, or supposed adj
vantages or temporary circumstances, shall
ever be permitted to justify the assumption of
power not given by the Constitution, the
General Government will, before long, absorb
all the powers of legislation, and you will have
in effect but one consolidated Government
JACKSON tells US "frm,ly and promptly
oppose every unconstitutional exercise of
power by the President. Let the people
array themselves as one man against LIN
COLIN, and put an end to bis executive ca

THE WEEKLY PIONEER AND DEMOCRAT

= e s & <
SON are parties to q conspiracy to defraud
l General MoOLx11An ont ofhis election
and they have adopted and are pursuing {
policy which may result in civil war more
terrible than any we have yet experienced
The scheme being pursued by them was
first made public by Mr.. LINCOLN in his
plan for reconstruction submitted to Con-
gress in December. This plan involved
such bare-faced robbery of constitutions
rights, that Republican Congress at
tempted to strange it. Mr.. LINCOLN
vetoed the bill by proclamation, and thus,
in the language of the celebrated WADE
DAVIS manifesto, Shy preventing the bill
from becoming law, he holds the electo-
raj votes of the rebel States at the dicta-
ton of his personal ambition"
By the above proclamation of ANDREW
JOHNSON, it will be seen that the plan is
now to be prosecuted plan which would
have been strangled by Congress, had it
not been for the Presidents veto.
LINooLN's plan and JoHNsoNs plan both
virtually exclude from the polls all but the
partisans Of the Administration. L1Noo1N's
oath required citizens to swear allegiance
to the emancipation proclamation. JOHN
SONS oath requires them to aid and as
sist in "aohatecer measures may be
adopted" which includes the emancipa
ton proclamation, aa4Easiun9 act, and
every other radical absurdity. Both .oaths
are worded in manner calculated to ex-
olude all but partisans from taking them.
By JoHNsoN's oath, they are to swear
never to consent to an armistice, and to
oppose all honorable measures for peace;
or, in other words, to assist in carrying
out the abolition, confiscation and sabju-
cation policy of ABRAHAM LINCOLN.
BY this tremendous fraud upon the free
dom of the ballot-box, in a State held in
military subsection, Democrats are to be
ostracized, and the electoral vote of Ten
nessee cast for LINCOLN and JOHNSON in
the event of a close election. This high
handed and infamous outrage has long
been part of LINooLN's settled policy.
The whole facts of the case carry with
them logical sequence and consistency
which must carry conviction to the mind
of every honest man. If the votes
Tennessee turn the scale in L1NooLN's
favor, then, in the language of the WADE
DAVIS manifesto, sis 1, to be Supposed
that his competitor, defeated by such
means, ariH sa5mit?"
We think not and we recommend to
the consideration Of ABRAHAM LINCOLN the
following resolution from the Chicago
Pla torn:
Resolved, That the direct interference of the
military authorities of the United States in the
recent elections held in Kentucky, Maryland,
Missouri and Delaware was shameful violation
of the constitution, and repetition OF such
acts in the approaching election will be held as
revolutionary, and resisted with all the means
and power under cur control

Wars Terrible Harvest.

The following table compiled from Off
cial statements, tells more plainly than
words possibly can of the terrible harvest
which war has reaped in the Northern
States since Mr.. Lincoln was lnaugurated.
1t comprises a list of some of the three
year regiments which lately returned,
their term of service having expired, and
shows the terrible losses they have suffer
ed during the war.
