fHE coNING DRAFT ~ THE uSIrED sTArEs-fRE-
PARtTIOHs 1Hh UoVERNMESr AND rHE PEOPLE
FOR NEXT MONDAY
Monday next ought to br quite a lively day i'll the
United States, II the signs III the papers from that
country are to be believed. Both the Government
and the people preparing for the draitthe one,
to enforce the other to resist it. In New York city
there are rumors Of another riot, and the Govern
ment has sent troops there to prevent any uprising.
A New York letter says:
George Dawson's Washington letter to the Albany
ElcaiGg Journal Of Yesterday, affirming that the
draft will certainly be enforced ON the 5th proXimO
and that the proper precautions have been taken to
guard against resistance to It, Is having much
wider reading here to-day than communications from
that source are usually honored with. Mr.. Dawson
Is principal proprietor OF the JOUHat, and as his
personal relations with the President are understood
to be intimate, he is understood to speak on such
subjects as if "by authority" The effect of his as
surances on the public mind are visible in the gen.
eral REIMBURSEMENT OF the hitherto prevalent idea
that the drawing would be deferred. Apart from
Mr. Dawson's assurances however, may state that
we have satisfactory assurances from higher (oicia
that the draft will be enforced on the day
alluded to. Provost Marshal General Fry tele-
graphs this day. to General Hayes to spare pains
to have all the arrangements perfected by the lst
proximo. There is reason to believe, also, that a
numerous body OF Western troops are now on their
way towards this city with view to the mainte-
nance ct order,
In Illinois the revolution fever seems to be high
from the following extract from letter giving an
account of u meeting at Springfield on the 2lst
ultimo:
The Hon and RIGHT Rev Henry Clay Dean next
spoke. He laid it down ) n distinct proposition
that there We're two rebellons at present in this
couutly-that OF Davis and that of Lincoln We
had been fighting the former and now he would like
to fight the latter little lie declared that the De-
mocratie party responsible for all the vllanes
Of the Administration. The way to correct the war
was to refuse to vote supplies, as the Commons i'll
England were Wont TO check the King. If this would
not suffice, then should appeal to higher and
mightGr power-that of revolution. He was III ia
vor Of Union but not the bloody sought by abo-
litionism. You could not bring herd Of cattle to
of their number freshly slain.
At the second stand during this time, the Hon
Lewis Ross, Hon. Girls Kribben, Of St. Louis, and
Josh Allen, OF Williamson county, addressed a
crowd The speech of Girls. KFibben was violent
secession one, such as the Hon Cris would find 1t
unhealthy to deliver at his home in st Louis. He
took the bold ground that the war was priMa tacie
WRONG, and that the Federal Government had no
power and no night to c0erce a State. 1t was such
a speech as should have caused the ears of every
Democrat hearing 1t to tlgle with shame tOr listen
ing to a moral traitor.
Altogether the tenor OF the aSsembiage was much
more conservative than that at Peoria Oh the 3D.
In point of numbers, should estimate 1t at about
four thousand Everything passed oil IN quiet 50
far known. | 5enda brief synopsis OF the resolu
tiOns passed, to wit
Resolution first re-attrms the devotion Of the De-
mocracy to the Constitution and Union, and also to
the kentucky and Virginia resolutions of 1898 and
l799 further, that the Democracy of Illinois reIter
ate and adopt the resolutions of the Democratic State
Convention OF January, 1861, which disapproves of
coercion is bringing on the horrors Of civil war.
How far the purpose of resistance i'll Indiana may
40, may be gathered from the fact that an immense
amount of arms has been imported into that State,
and by the following extract from letter dated at
indianapolis August 18th
Facts, Just come to light put new face on the
address OF the State Central Committee Of the De-
moCratlc party Its session OF two days and nights
WAS one of perplexlty and peril On the one hand
was the detection OF the peace wing OF the party
from its non-commlttal nominees which had as
sumed such alarming proportions that the secret
Order proposed revolution at once. There were
present at that meeting of the committee such Con-
gressinen as Voorhees,, who. more than II year ago,
proposed to settle the issue between his friends and
the Government by the sword. Joseph h. Edger-
ton, OF the Fort Wayne district was also with the
committee. On the 9th of June, 1868, he denounced
the Burnside and Hascall policy III Ohio and lndi-
ana and said !" The end of these acts of despotsIn
must come, either by Mr.. Lincoln's administration
wholly abandoning them, or by their resistance by
the people even unto death" Such We're the men
who met to squelch the scheme for revolution
planned by the Sons OF Liberty, who fixed the 10th
OF this month for seizing Governor Morton aud
other officials getting possession OF the arsenals,
berating rebel prisoners, establishing provisional
government, and thus arraying the Northwest III
rebellion.
