MfiMrs Editors:
l cm asked t<i give my uown of the Conscript
Vet, nnd the controversy on that subject. Ide
. line. The duty of patriotism now is to eu
••oarogo our troops, not to dianotiaty them; to.
keep our people united, end not divide them.—
.State right*and imth idual right.- 1 are to be saved
by soldier*—gallant, a(ijkd * md not
by israe-makers ad abstract theoriavr* And
an for axubitiici, tat ito beg ita votaries to con
sider that the times are inopportune fur -ueb tu
plration* now. Look upon this scene of disor
ganization, blood and death---the legitimate cal
raination ofumisition, ;nari follies— and beehochcd
-to eilence for a season.
At the tune, if \ can cc any good likt
ly to result, I will giro my views of this law.—
