Memphis daily appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1847-1886, 1864-04-30

The Albany ArguS, referring 70 thess drafts,
speaks thus plainly:
Upon the is sue Of every cal, the promise has
been made that it would be the last. Those
promises have been held ont to the people ever
since the war began, 70 lure them on in their
fraticidal struggle, conducted for emancipation
nd subiugation, under the dangerous military
power of the President. We have no doubt
that other calls will be made. Indeed, to keep
up the war upon the idea Of subjugsting the
South, and holding lines Of more than three
Thousand miles in extent, it will require all the
abls-bodied men Of the North to do it, and no
to-effsct the object. The history Of other 81
tempts 30 subjugzts proves this. The President
evidently considers the abls-bodisd men in the
fres States inexhsustibis. No such levies were
ever made By nations with twice or three times
our population.
Aside from tins reckless wests of human life,
smother matter claims attention. Il is the enor-
nous debt saddled On the backs Of the hard
working mechanics and laborsrs of the land. A
debt looming up IN thr0s short years to four
fAORsaad millions Of dollars, that is to be left
ss legacy to the generations yet unborn
The Harrisburg Patriot Thinks the draft now
ordered viii be followed by another for 100000
or 100000 more men, to take place come time
in June or Jaly. The Patriot says:
The men are not wanted so much to crush the
rebellion as to maintain the political GscendAhcy
of the Abolition party and establish desp0tio
government on the ruins of the republic.
The Buffalo Express, in speaking of the cal
says;
We trust this will be the Las. demand of this
insstists war upon the country for men.
This drain Of men is beginning to be felt by
the agricultural interests of the West The
Cincinnati Enquirer says:
There is great scarcity of labor now On the
farms snd in the workshops, which the filing of
this esL viii greatly aggraEass and intensity.
What commentary are these immense calls
for men every month, upon the oft-repeAted re-
mark that the rebellion was on its last legs
But the feelings against these drafts is far
more intense and bitter in the Northwest. In
commenting on the call, the Detroit Frss Press
asks, why not "order the entire male population
of the country at oncei" The Frss Press pitches
into the Washington concern in the following
spirited style, showing that not al in the North
can Se fooled by the absurd stories put forth by
Lincoln and his hireling press:

trous to the Federal armies, although the Ad-
ninistration has furnished as with glowing &C
counts of the destitute. demorslized ard starv-
ing condition of the Confederates, and made
several raids to destroy property and provis-
ions, and infict suffering apen women and
children. Mr.. LincOin's order reads TAR more
az though it emanated from the Emperor Of
Russia than from the President Of the United
States. He says he wants two hundred thou
sand more msn. Tho people have no business
to ask questionsi and men cApsbls of BEARING
arms need not stop to consider whether they
will 90 or not but simply whether they viii 60
voluntarily or at the point of the bsyonet. The
people will have TO endure Ibis state of things
during Lincoln's term of Office, though matters
are growing steadily worse from day to day.
Let every nSn calmly reflect where this state Of
things is leading as, and 10 what il must inevi-
tsbly end. How prophetic were the words Of
Websteri II these fanatics and AbeliiieniSts
ever get power into their hands, they will ever
ride tbe Constitution, set the supreme court
1t defiance, change and make laws to suit them,
selves, and fnslly, they will bankrupt the
country and dsluge 1t with bl6od"
