R*pftsentsttive Recruits
to be hoped, for venous reasons, that
aa,many , ,tepresentative recruits will be mus
tered into service, between the present time
and that fixed for the draft, as possible. The
duty which every man of wealth owes to the
Government and to society, is that 11 1, be, at
least; represented -in 'the army by amble-
bodied soldier:— By this means he will be
•
providing, in.-some. measure, for. the protrc
tiop of his property, and the exemption : of,
some less fortunate fellow-citizen from the
operation Of "-the impending draft. 'B' every
'cotaideration of patriotism and through every
,benevolent impulse which. should actuate the
heart, the man whose:circumstances can
afford it, should be impelled to provide a rep
resentative soldier by the payment of a liberal
bounty. No narrow-minded and short-sighted
sentiment of selfishness should be allowed to
.prevail over the more generous side of human
nature, The crisis in the affairs of the win
try, should be viewed in the light of, at least,
as much thought as would 'be applied to a
busness transaction. If the men needed to
re-enforce the armies engaged in the suppres
sien-of the rebellion are not forthcoming at
the proper time, it might be well to calcu
late the value of estates and securities, if the'
machinations of the enJmies, of the people are,
permitted to succeed.. Fields, houses, bonds,
stooks and mortgages are only valuable when
protection is offorded for their enjoyment.
It visa calculated that the three 'days of
revolution in Paris; in 1830, depreciated all
the property in , France to the extent of one_
third of the valuation at which it had • been
formerly held. Can the effects of revolution
or anarchy in our midst be properly estima
ted ? Could the man of fortune sufficiently '
appreciate the consequences of the failure of
the Goternment, .he would' be willing to make
any Sacrifidee to avert such a calamity. , ,; The
fearful,. effects of social disorganization are:
not confined to the'generation which perMita .
it to take place, but can be traced for a cen
'„frW. The French Revolution has tainted
society in France from the highest, to the
lowest, so that although it is repressed by the
power of the strongest and most centralized
government in the world, it continually breaks
out in scenes of violence and bloodshed. The
people overturn one despotism only to suc
cumb to the will of more exacting tyranny,
and like the inhabitants of countries of vol
canic strttotttre,' they never feel secure, for the
political volcano overwhich they exist merely
slumbers and has not been extinguished.
was not the case with the Revolution
of 17/6, and although every suffering was en
dured during the continuance of the war, the
'firm conduct of the men of that period Pre
served the bonds of the social system . bite*,
and upon the establishment of the uew 'aye--
tern of things, the regard for law; which had
not been lost-in the catti4tophe, rendered the
preservation' of order': a comparatively easy
task. If society is ono` destroyed and its
operations suspended, ':the regularity of its
athiements are destroyed' 'fin generations.—
The greatest evil which. is the result of such
a:*.ful disaster is the nepessity which it de--

of every educated scintiment gala natural feel

to the will of any man who is able to protect

write all aspirations after liberty.
When such a fearful alternative is presbnt
