Substitutes or buying men to go and risk
their Iives for some oil those THAI have
the means TO buy them. II q rich man 10
drafted, let HIM 60 bis family has the
means to take care Of themselves. If D
poor man Is drafted be has 10 go, for be
has not the means to buy another mans
life to put in the place of his own. What
will shis little bounty or life money s.
mount to IL amounts to a mere nothing.
If poor man is drafted, let the wealthy

he Is called on and not try to hire
some one TO 60 in bis place. Is one
mana life better than anothex Does
one man havs more claim on the Gov
eminent than another2 1 am inclined
to think not, hence say let aEsry man
go thai is able; at lsast lss them stand
the draft and II the rich escape, IL is their
good luck and shey will not be cursed
With the thought that they hired men to
risk their iives and do THAR duty for
them. II the poor escape, so much the
better, they viii thea be left at home With
their families who need sheir assist

hope that every man With feelings
truly patriotic will think Of this, moi only
think but act upon it. Let him como out
and help put down shis accurselrebellion,
or If at home, let him ses those soldiers
families that are suffering for food 10
eat, and clothing to keep them warm are
comfortable. Les them look TO this, and
give the bounty money they raise TO
hire men to 60 to var, to thoae families
that are suffering, and, If necessary, go
to war themselves.
He says that be considers his PROPOSE
lion s'the best for all parties concerned
better for the man that goes, because IL
Is an ace of Of volition and not of eum-
pnlsion, and better for his THE soldief'sl
family, because bis bounty leaves them

Nov, il little srsaing bounty is going 70

par this bounty. Besides IL the bounty
lie raised by taxation, the man that goes
has to pay or help pay bis own bcun4y IN

TO conclude, | advise all TO stand tia

what they should do themselves. Rais'
no bounty money, but let all share alik'
In the draft.
