THE QUAKERS AND THE WAR.
1 The '.:, iti 7'n.N-t protests against tlio
exemption of l,uakers Irom the war diafl,
seeing no just reason why they should not
be called upon, as well as any other sect,
to do military k-i vice for their country.
; The conscience of the Methodist may be
equally opposed to the takim; of human
' life, argues the J'csl in the conscience of a
Ouuker. The only distinction between
i them being, that the Quakers, ns a sect,
j have incorporated a testimony against war
I into their doctrinal creed, and bo given it
a weight that is not accorded to it when
asferted merely by an individual. This
! the I'ost does not regard as a sullicieut
reason lor allowing yuiKers to escape
from their proportion of the personal ser
vice required by the Government, and
from all expenses of substitutes for such
services, which their eay circumstances
enable them to atl'ord with much less in.
convenience than a majority of their less
favored nciithbors. The I'ost expresses
the oninion that the exemption of
the Quakers, recognizing as it does a sec
tarian cround of immunity, which in its
very nature is unconstitutional, could not
bo maintained in the courts.
Hut the Jst finds yet another moral
reason whv the Quakers should not be
exempt from military service in this par
ticular war, and argues in tlio loliowing
manner :
Why should tho Quakers be exempt
from military service in this war? Have
they not been as much concerned in its
moral antecedents as other people in the
country ? Hut fr thoir "Irxtimnrif" aiiiintt

"True, they went no farther for a time
than refusing to cat sugar ami other
things produced by slave labor, but that
deranged the markets of the lliitish em

against slavery. iVhen three hundred
thousand people in Kngland went with,

preserved peaches as if they had the devil

tho matter, and did not stop till they sei

the (Junkers, and the; eouhl not huee planted a
nwre deadly insult beta;eit the eyes tj thi Amer
ican slaveholder,
"So much for the fureign Quakers. And
'huso ot'nnr O'rn h- "-el, , hoer been ton. times

lire ft hundred or more years ago, and in
laid-time r.lias lLcks. of Jericho, Long

His thoughts were bright, though half his
body was dead, and he indicated by signs
'bat the detected lave grown material
diould be removed. Such a "testimony,"
;.s that had rille balls in it. And later
still, the Quakers of Philadelphia, the
Harrisons, the Hoppers, tho Shipley, the
Mitts, the Nealls, and hosts of others, kept
ip a perpetual stirring of the put of mntentinn
.til the .Southern .Students in the nniversitie.s
bum! their hob's and n,Jjhed their houses.
"There is now an old Quaker at Wil
mington, Dolaware, in the very camp of
slavery, who laasts running og some ticn
thousand tiec hundred negroes Jmm the shtee
States within the last few gears. Then) is an
other Quaker in Massachusetts who has
made a lumne&s of stirring up the whole eonnlry
with poetry and songs about the. sufferings ol
slaves. No man has made thf. blood chill
and leap in our veins like Whittier, at
tho recital of tortures endured by the
helpless victims of Southern barbarity
Ho makes us to hear the lash crr.ck as it
wraps itself around the cringing body, and
the manacles to rattle, and piercing
shrieks to fill the air. All this is perfect
ly moral, and consistant with the an'i war
spirit of the Quaker sect.
"It is proverbial that the Quakers nro
in tetter average circumstances, as regards
the coids of this woild, than ar.y other
class of society. Thus they aie hotter
able to nay for substitutes if they do not
wish to light in person."
Tho parti.an journals of the radical
school, and tho I'vst, if we remember cor
recl'v, among the number, have on va
rious occasions denounced the Democrats
an sympathizers with secession, because
they have asserted their belief that the
terrible rebellion was brought about "by
the fanat'n'sul aU(' )o"y of abolition," (to
U30 the ianngo ' tho Exxning Jwrnul) as
well ashy tho "wie'I'x-saa..: 1iu!iioi

itself frankly admitting that tho AuC.l'
tionists a: directly responsible for this
war that they were, in tact, its "instiga
tors." Abolition, it argues, originated with the i
Quaker Feet. Tiicv first "set up tho dog- I
j ma that nern bond.u'o has anything!
wrong in it ; thry are tbo"radical fanatics" j
j who first "put the ball in motion; they;
"planted a deadly in-ult between the'
1 eye of l!i' American slaveholder;" they
"kept up a perpetual Stirling of the pot
of contention until the Southern students
in tho universities" were goaded to act of
violence ; they have "made a business of
stirring up tho whole country with poetry
i and aongs about the sufferings of slaves ;"
I aud they have publicly boa led of their
success in stealing thousands of negroes
I from the slave States. W hy, then, asks
Ulie Poil, ehoul 1 Quakers bo exempt I mm
military service in this war of Abolition
il creation '.' We do not desire to cons
troverl tho positions of the licpuhlican or-
'pan, or to question the soun Inc-s of its
conclusion. Hut its proposition to sub
ject the Quakers to draf', as we'd as any
other sect or clas of citizen", appears to
have iu it a sulliciency of common sense
and lairneNs to recommend it to ihc con.
sideration of thoso who have it in their
power to a nend or modify theoiderfor
j the draft.
j We copy tho above from the Albany
Argus, and give as another reason whv tho
laws exempting (junkers from .military
duty should be repealed, th manner in
which they treat members of th"ir Society
whose patriotism leads mem into tiio mil.
itary service of their country. Wo .-ee no
leason why the sect should be favored
above others: and we think the following
"Testimony of Chester Monthly Meeting"
will turn the attention o others to the.
subject who have never before given it a
thought. We favor the idea of enrolling

We marvelled. He called our attention
to his long row of show-ca-e-, in h'ch

which very many costly yim that we had
known by sight had disappeared.
"A year ago," said the dealer in jew

monds, pearls, opals, rubies an 1 emeralds,
costing us large sums, whoso sale we look

1, 000 was the lowest priced one among

"And the buyers?"
"Tho buyers aro all, or nearly all new

they ofiener come with rmpiests for us to

"Who are your present best custom

"Jut iHich persons ns those you passed
on entering the door. Airny speculators
and contractor! are now spending the

"Pay for their contracts?" we asked.
"Not always direct. y, but generally by
i present other than money. Hy grateful
contractors who desire to i:;liibit their
sensij of obligation to the friends who in
fluenco tho contracts, the most liberal
purchases of jewelry are made. In good
times we had many customers who spent
