establish in these States constitutional liberty which
has been for the time SO completely crushed:
To enable us to do this the CONSUMPTION act must
be repealed and tbspolicy abandoned, and we must
return to the constitutional mode of raising troops by
the States. The States cannot do this successfully
while CONSUMPTION ia Practical and they thwartcd in
their efforts by conflict and collision with Confederate
officers In word the two systems cannot work to-
gether.
: Our armies, composed of the vItia of armsbear-
ing people OF the States must be reorganized under
officers appointed by Che respective States the Con-
stitution directs. This would enable the States in
the reorganization to put the ranks all supernu

troops could also put into the service the large num-
Der Of able bodied young men within theft limits,
who, now at home, hold appointments under the

"A we'll regulated militia being necessary to the
security Of free State the right Of the people TO

that the word militia and the word people mean the

synonymous terms. 1t is clear, therefore, that the

the officers to command their transferring people,

The stock market was dull at the morning
board, and prices generally lower.
GoverEmentsiwere quiet, and generally atthe
closing quotations of Saturday, except Ten
forties; which were 4 down.
The Railroad list was weak; and after the
board prices were evidently a shade below the
morning quotations. The decline In gold tends
to keep down prices.
Gold is rather excited, and the large holders
are uneasy and anxious to sell; the moment,
however, they attempt TO throw any large
amount on the market the price yields. The
price opened t191, and, under rumors of sue
cesses by General Sherman, declined to 1S7 :.
