many more drafts How many more
Thousands Of millions spent? Ho" long
are our institutions to be crushed Is mill
tary rule How long is labor to be drain
ed by the exhaustion of men and means
Let us look for the answer among those

FhrrIow Weed, who is well acquainted
with the interior purposes of the RepubIi-
can organization, says:
Abolition Influences in Congress and in
The Ca5ine, have doubled the millions Of
I dollars, and deepened Their rivers of blood
spent and she'd, in war, which, so long
as such influences and counsels sway the

Gov. Seymour brings some evidence up
on the subject, in the following passage OF
MS recent speech at Philadelphia:

! In nine ncnths, the army will need the
