The draft comes No one wants to 60
to war. Patriotism il sick! The nation
is discours ged. Half the men sent before
have been lost to us and the country. The
seventy-Gve thousand Wide Awakes who
were to sweep the rebels into the Gulf Of
Mexico, have not been heard from lately.
Half million more men are to 60 forth
to-bs slaughtered for glory. Five hun.
dred thousand more men are to be taken
away from their industrial pursuits. tits
now revolt, Canada, or fight. Let u see
which the people will do.
Oh! that Wisconsin had Gorernor
with pluck equal to the emergency. Would
to God that the Chief Magistrate Of this
State had nerve to soy TO Abraham Lin
coin that not man should 60 from the
State till the quotas Of the New England
and the Eastern States are filed. How
the people would respond to that position.
But no; the young West must be sapped
draiued of its life. blood, while the aboll
tionized Eastern States. which are grow.
ing rich out Of this war, are thousands Of
men in arrears under former calls. The
fanatics and spectators Of New England
sit at the feet of Lincoln and their States
are passed over. The working men OF the
West have no friend at court and can 20
10 war in answer to calls, or be hunted
down.
II we could see q glimmer Of light
through this darkness, all would be we'll.
If the half million now called for would
end tho war, we'd 60 at once, even il never
TO return. But there is no head to guide,
On arm to direct. The administration has
lied to us daily from its organization. 1t
has made its last call half dozen times
before-it has rcsorted to all means to fill
the army-it has sacrificed a million of
lives GA the altar Of incompetency-it has
ignored a sbeised the best military talent
OF the aee-it h.s disappointed the land
every month for thee years aud still the
war gocs.on.
Only half a million morel Oh that is
nothing. We are bound to free the mig
gers or die! Let's all 60! The rebels
can't fight. One Northern Abolitiouist
who rants and prays, i. better than ten
southern men to fight! The rebels can
not raise men enough in oil the South to
make an army or make decent battle
The sebels have deserted till noee are left!
The ;Ssn,h il . barren waste and her army
has suss;sted on quarter rations for three
years. The rebels are bankrup. in means,
and military skill!
The niggers are all FREQ by oN Abes
and are now our allies.-
The armiug of u blacks does away with
calling for nese troops! This is merely
= little military excursion party, in which
no one will be hurt! The rebel troops
are sick, starving, naked, without arms
towards, aud terribly demoralized!
This is what the administration has
taught US, and being facts. where in Gods
name, are the brave men the North has
cent forth already?
Rally round the flag, boys. Continue
this administration in power and We can
all go TO war, to Canada. or to bel! before
1868. Only half o million Modest
Abraham: Might better have called for
a million, for they will be needed before
this abolition crusade Is half over with,
unless conducted on plan different from
"my plan Half a million! Hurrab
boys, let's go!4La Crosse Democrat.
