solicitation of Lineoln and Stanton, have
written lelters 10 favor of an immediate draft
for the men specified in Lincoln's call One
of the arguments to this end, which both Of

an exhibition Of the poioer to enforce a draft
at this time, will accomplish wonders towArds
the suppression Of the rebellion, The rebels
think il cant be done, and the thought com
forts them, therefore, though men are sent
forward as rapidly as disposition can be made
of them, and though it is evident thai. the
whole call would be filled in "a short time, yet
in order to convince the rebels that Lincoln
has poioer to draft, a draft must be made.
Instead, therefore, Of allowing the people TO
