Gen. Heinlzelnan, commanding in this
department, has issued the following or
der, which every loyal man must ap-
prove. Its appears 10 have very much
troubled the patriotic gentlemen OF the
Chicago Convention, who fear that the
time. .honored Constitutional right OF the
people TO bear arms is to be violated
thereby. II does not argue very we'll for
them to be quite go sensitive on this sub.
ject. Men who do not desire TO bear
arms for any questionable purpose, will
not be aggrieved by Gen. Hein zelman's
order. As well talk Of the right OF the
people TO bear arms being violated, wher
weapons are taken from the inmates Of
our jails aud prisons No, gentlemen,
the Constitution, which you say is the
very life Of the Government. guarantees
no right to bear arms against the Govern
ment. but, on the contrary. it explicitly
provides that he who attempts to exercise
such right shall incur the guilt and the
penalty Of treason. There is one way,
however, in which you can bear arms, il
you are SIS anxious as you seem to do SO,
and the Government, SO far from denying
your right, will afford you every facility
in It's power, and even iurnisn the arms at
lis own expense you can 60 into the
Union ranks, and bear arms, with our
brave soldiers you profess TO love so
dearly, Jor. the Government, and agains,
its enemies. In SO doing, you wonld be
far more honorably employed than in
preparing or threatening 10 resist The
draft, and would give much better evi.
