Purchase your Mourning Clothes
From the La Cross Wis Democrat.

Lincoln has called for .ftge huHdred Ntou-
sand more ri tms! Onthc 9th of Septem-
Der half million men are to be drafted TO
ill up tie ranks Of the army to fighting
dimensions-to get soldiers for the Inny
South. Get ready. Set your house III
order Make arrangements to secure
your fall crops 10y proxy, and get ready to
join the throng Of the hundreds of thou
sands who have gone befnre. Let the
women buy mourning goods now, for in
a month or SO there will not be money
enough in the country to use for that pur-
pose
The draft comes No one wants to 90
to war Patriotism is sick. The nation is
discouraged. Half the men sent before
have been lost to US and the country -
The seventy five thousand Wide Awakes
who were to sweep the rebels into the
Gulf Of Mexico, have not been heard from
lately IIalfa million more men are to go
forth to lie slaughtered for glory. Five
hundred thousand more men are to be ta-
ken away from their industrial pursuits.
1t is now revolt, Canada or fight Let Us
STE what the people will do.
Oh that Wisconsin had G0ueiuor
with pluck equal to the emergency
Would to God that the Chief Magistrate
Of this State had nerve to say to Abra-
ham Lincoln that not man should 90
from the State till the quotas of the New
England and the Eastern States are filled.
How the people would respect that posi-
ton. But no; the young West must be
sapped and drained of its life blood. while
the abolitionzed Eastern States, which
are growing rich out of this war, are thou
sands otmen In arrears under former calls
The fanatics and spectators of New Eng
land 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 so to war in answer to calls or be hun
ted down.
If We could see but a glimmer Of light
through this darkness, all would be well.
If the half million now called for would
end the war, we'd 90 at once, even if new
guide or arm to direct. The Ndministra-
ton has lied to Us daily from its or
ganlzation. 1t has made its last call half
a dozen times beiore--it has rcsorted to
all means to fill the army-it has sacri-
feed million Of lives on the altar of in
comretency-it has ignored or shclved
the best military talent of the age-it has
disappointed the land every month tor
three years and still the war goes on.
Only half Il million more. Oh, that is
nothing. We are bound to free the mig
gers or die. Let's all 90. The rebels
can't fight. One northern abolitionisi
who rants and prays, is better than ten
southern men 10 fight. The rebels can
not raise men enough i'll all the South to
make an army or make a decent battle
The rebels have deserted till none are left.
! The South is L barren waste and her army
has subSisted on quarter rations for three
years The rebels are bankrupt in means,
mcn and military skill
The niggcrs are al free Ly OLD Abc's
proclamations and are now our allies The
arming Of the blacks does away with call
inc COR more wl.itc troops This IS mere
ly Il little military excursion party, in
which no one viii be hurt. The rebel
troops are sick, starving, naked, without
arms-cowards, and terribly dcmoralized.
This is what the administration has
taught lis, and being facts, where, in Gods
name, are the brave men the North has
sent forth already?
Rally round the flag, boys. Continue
this administration in power and we can
all 90 to war, Canada or to hell before 1868.
Only half Il million? Modest Abraham
Night better have called for million.
for they will be needed before this aboli-
ton crusade is half over with, unless con
Quoted on a plan different from ''my plan .
Half million. Hurrah boys, let's go.
