THE QUOTA OF DELAWARE.


In the Delaware Gazette Of
Tuesday, an article under the above caption
appears. We're it not so false ia every assertion
il makes. it would be very amusing. When il
says, 1--WE have not the means Of ascariaining
tho exact numhcr Of men pelaBage i required
to furnish to GIL the draft go the 9th ui Septrm
Ter next" il states What s fu.e, for il had
only 10 ask the Provost Marshal or The Secretary
Of State, either OF whom would have cheeriully
given the desired information. That st is
centrally set down At from 1900 to 5000 mon 4"
and 'that Delaware has been untairly dualt with
by the War Department itw will attempt To
deny. She has been required to complete her
quota TO almost the last mau, Nhcu u Is known
that other States have been permttled to escape
with furnishing about two-thirds lhe nen duc
| the government on the drafts. Philadelphia md
New York have never filled their quotas. That
they have been allowed TO escape this, through
lying reports, and by constructing false returns,
which their large delegations in Congress have
| forced upon Secretary Stanton we have not Tho
least doubt. The samo remark we believe holds
true with regard to the whole of tho Northern
Siates," is in every respect false. The Cover
nor of New York says that her quota is full, bu

been .'let up" through "lying reports" Adiu-
tant General Waterhury's, for instance "a,
the Legislature is called 10 meet on Thursday
