The Denocratic leaders in Marshall
county have encouraged their party friends
to make preparations to resist the draft,
and assured them that they would stand
with them and share the dangers and res.
possibilities of resistance. but when the
test came. every leader incontinentlv fz-
zled. backed water. and refused to take a
step that would put their carcases in ieop-
ardy. Every one that has been drafted
has either procured a substitute or is try.
ing to procure one. thus leaving their poor
dupes out in the cold.
A draft might have been avoided in this
county had liberal course been pursued
by the two Democratic County C,mmis-
sioners, or had the Dem ocratic leaders ac.
cepted the propo itions made them by
leading Union men. viz: that each party
raise by subscription an equal sum to offer
for volunteers, or induce the Commission
ers to offer 500 bounty. They rejected
both propositions. and the consequence is
a draft has been m ade aud hit some that
cannot conveniently leave home. 1t also
hit some who opposed every effort to raise
the quota by volunteers. but they are all
atle to procure substitutes and have done
so, leaving those of limited means who
trusted them to suffer the consequences of
misplaced confidence.

territory has been conquered. the forts and
posts which its treacbcrously seized have
been occupied and held by the soldiers of

discouraged by defeat. is upheld solely by
the hope of political victories to be
