untrue. Un tlie contrary, I have tauen me
poaition in every epeech I have msde aince
ita passage that the ballot box and the
judicial tribunala ware the proper mesne
by wbichto obtain relief against oppressive and unconstitutional lawa, To submit to the conscription, I am aware, ia truly regarded by the people aa a great calamity; but civil war all over our Btaie ia bv far a

Christian patience under an evil adrnmia

never may. Truly youra. D' W. VOOBHEBS.
