! tvolover his own vote, and should consider
I.lt
wen, now ne exercises that sacred privi
lege. In a Democratic government, all
j power is vested in lhcjxojlc, and if th,y
watch not their own liberties, they can-
not expect to enjoy the priceless boon,
j We exhort you, then, Democrats, and
j conservative men of both parties, who
have been inveigled into the rf.-loyuI
leagues of Abolitionism, to come here on
that day, and listen to the unerring dog
mas of Democracy the truths of Thom
as Jefferson and his illustrious compatri
ots. Devote u iittle of your time to vour
country, and unborn posterity -will vet
bless you. Democracy calls you, and
your future liberties demand if. Lav
down the implements of toil and stop the
plow in its furrow ; come from the limn
house and the anvil, the work shop and
the counting desk ; come, you who are
the bone and sinew of the country, and
assist and sanction by your presence, the
promulgation of sound Democratic doc
trines. Upon the 17th day of this month is
the anuiversaty of the adoption of our na
tional Constitution. As it is more con
venient, let us celebrate the yearly return
of that memorable day on the Sth hist.,
in accordance with the appeal which is
extended to us. Let us show our deter
mination to perpetuate that sacred inatru
ment, which the. enemies of our country
have ruthlessly set at na.i-bt. Irt us
show this Administration, that despite
their wicked threats, we intend fo hold
Democratic meetings in Pennsylvania,
and that we intend, peaciblv, if we cmi,
to defend our liberties ; but forcibly if we
must.
lrom ibis draft
j The Constitution declares that the Ju
I dietary ah,e shall decide unon tho nrts of
Congress ; but President" Lincoln, usurp
ing this power, disregards the most con
cervative branch of our Government.
The most inconsistent decisions and per
verting interpretations of the hateful con
scription act are sent to ditlerent localities,
to suit the morbid fancies of this wicked
Administration. The profligacy of this
Administration is just beginning to devcl
ope itself fully to the minds of the people.
It has already ben decided by able law
yers, that the three hundred dollar clause
in that act, will exempt a c.-r.script for
time year?, or during the timo for which
he is drafted. This is the plain common
sense reading; of the law, and, no doubt,
the intention of Congress in its oassa v.
That act plainly gives to the unfortu
nate conscript, the choice of three things ;
to pay three hundred dollars, fuinM, a
substitute or go himself. Congress h iving
set the price of human blood at .SoOO,
and declared it ciiiaracut to a suhs!itti:e
,.!. tit" '.
n suouiu oe oi no concern to the uniortu
nate w.hf, who may be robk-d of his
sustenance, to pay that stipulated fee,
neiuei uus -vaunnistration can procure
enlisted men with the blood money or not.
We, however, advise tho.-e who have been
drafted, to procure substitutes, if they can
be got for the iSJX. We do not b.Iievv
that any Court of justice will sustain the
interpretations of that law by 'this Admin
istration, but so long as it remains in
power, the liberties and rights of the ciii:
zen will not be respected, nor hae we anv
assurance that judicial deeishms will, at
all, be heeded.
