us, is of the deepest moment, it seems, in
that country; inasmuch as he has a plan
of his own for remitting states to the U

their population ; and this would, they
say, give him the control of the presiden

election carried by this artifice must be

Clh. This bidding and bantering for
recruits, white and black, has delayed the
re-inforccment of our armies at the limes
when such reinforcements would have
enabled us to make our successes perma

pending war, is unwise and unsafe, and
has delayed the universal draft, which I
firmly believe will become necessary, to
overcome the wide-spread resistance of

draft will be wise and beneficial ; for,
under the providence of God, it will sepa
rate the sheep from the goats, and demon
