Heavqvarrses, DerartMen? oF THE East, New Yore Crry, August 17, 1863. Yo rae Crriauns ov New Yora:— ‘The draft of men in this city to replenish the ranks of the army, in order to complete more speedily the suppression of the insurrection in the Gouth, having, in consequence of forcible re- sistance to the execution of the law, been placed under my direction as commanding officer of the forces of the United States in this military depart- ment, 1 have thought it not out of place to present to you some suggestions for your consideration aa friends of the Union and of the good order of wociety. ‘The law under which the draft is to be made is for enrolling and calling out the national forces. It is founded on the principle that every citizen who cfijoys the protection of the government and Tooks to it for the security of his property and Bis life may be called on in seasons of great pub- lic danger to take up ‘arms for the common de- fence. No political society can be held together unless this principle is acknowledged as one to which the government may have recourse when fits existence is in peril. There is no civilized country in which it is not recognized. The law authorizing the draft has been persist- ently called a Conscription law by those who de- ire to make it odious and defeat its execution, It is in no just sense a conscription like that which was put in force in the sixth year of the French Fepublic, and abandoned on the restoration of the Bourbons, on account of its oppressive exactions. Is ia.a simple law for enrolling and calling into the @ervice the arms-bearing population of certain ages, and differs in no essential principle from the Jaw anthorizing the militia to be called out, ex- cepting that in the latter case complete organiza- tions ate brought i field. The object of the very provisions ie law which are most Dencficiai to frdividuals has been most grossly per- werted. If a drafted man finds it inconvenient to werve, he is allowed to fornish a substi- tate, or to purchase his exemption from eervite by paying the smallest sum of money for which substitutes, are ordiharily obtained. Both these provisions have the same purpdsc—to provide for cases of hardship ; and if either were @tricken out these cases would be proportionably tacreasedin number; ‘The draft about to Be made is for one-fifth part @f all persons between twenty and thirty-five years @f age, and of the unmarried between thirty-five ‘aad forty-itve. The entire class between eighteen end thirty-five was long since drafted in the se- @eded States, and the draft has recently been ex- tended to embrace nearly the whole arms-bearing Population. Compared with the burthen they are eustaining ours is as nothing. The contest on our part Is to defend our nationality, to uphold the in- stitutions under the protection of which we hay lived and prospered, and to preserve untarnished the proud memories of our history, brief, it is true, Dut full of hich achievements in science, in art and fm arms. Shall we, in such a cause, shrink from ‘labors and sacrifices which our mis- guided brethren in the seceded States are @ustaining in the Ganse of. treason and social dis- auizatign? For the honor of New York let us take care that the history of this rebellion, more ‘vast than any which has ever convalsed a nation, ball coutain nothing to make our children blush for the patriotiam of pheir fathers. . Whatever objection there may be to the law au- thorizing the draft, whatever defects it may have, ft is the law of the land, agd resistance to it is -Fevolt against the constituted authorities of the country. If one law can be set at defiance any othr may be, and the foundations of all govern- meut may be broken up. Those who, in the his ory of political societies, have been the first to @ct themselves up against thé law, have been the @arest victhns of the disorder which they have eteated., ‘The poor have a far deeper interest in maintaining the inviolability of the law than the rieb. Property, through the means it can com- maai, is power. But the only security for those who fave little more thaa life and the labor of ‘heir o-vn hands to protect lies in the supremacy of the Jaw. On them aad on those who are de- Pendent on them social disorder falis with fatal efrect. The coastitationality of the law authorizing the @ratt tas been disputed. Near the clese of the year JU, whem the country was engaged in wer with Great Britain, a similar law was re- compendled to Congress by the government, to draft men to fill the ranks of the army, which was gallantly batUing, os eur armies are now,dor the natiomationor and life. Madison, one of the great expoundars of the eonstitution, which he teok a Prominentepartén framing, was President. Mon- roe, his suaeessar, thea.acting both as Secretary Of State andSecretary of War, addressed to the Honse offepirexentatives a incid argument in aap | port of shdright of Congress to pass such @ laws Alexander J.

The President has promptly consented to have it tested by judicial interpretation; but while the car of victory is moving 6n, and treason ia flying before it, God forbid that the State of New York or its constituted authorities should at- tempt to stay its progress until the judicial pro- cess can be consummated. . The accuracy of the enrolment in ‘the city dis- tricts has been impeactied, and a revision was im- mediately ordered by the President, on a represen- station from the Governor of the State. But as the men are needed for immediate service, and as the correction of the returns requires time, the quota was ordered to be reduced in all the districts—in some more than half the whole amount—leaving the account for future adjustment. The reduction in the quota exceeds in proportion the alleged ex- cess of the cnrelment; so that no personal injus- tice can possibly occur. Under these circumstances, no good citizen will array himself, either by word or deed, against the draft. Submission to the law in seasons of tran- qguillity is always the highest of political duties. But, when the existence of the government is in peril, he who resists its authority commits a crime of the deepest turpitude. He is the voluntary in- strument of those who are secking to overthrow it, and becomes himself a public enemy. Moreover, resistance tothe government by those who are living under its protection, and are indebted to it for the daily tenure of their property and their lives, has not even the palliation under which those who lead the insurrection at the South seek to shelter themselves: that they are acting under ‘color of authority derived from Legislatures or con- ventions of the people in their respective States. With us resistance to the constituted authorities is both treason and lawless violence; and if there are any who thus combine to re-enact the scenes of cruelty and devastation by which this city has recently been dishonored, and to defeat by force of arms the execution of the paramount law of Con- gress, they will be treated as enemies of the coun- try and of mankind. Returning among you from a distance, fellow citizens, after more than two years of military -service in the cause of the Union, to uphold which this city has, in all emergencies, stood forth with a@ manly patriotism worthy of her high position— having no feeling but to see her good name pre- served without blemish, no wish but that she may continue, as she has ever been, the most orderly of the great commercial towns of the age—I have ventured to address to you these suggestions, to exhort you to the maintenance of order, to obe- dience to the Jaws and to the quiet pursuit of your accustomed avocations, while the draft is in progress. 4 Should these suggestions be disregarded by any among you, and renewed attempts be made to disturb the public peace, to break down the bar- riers which the law has sct up for the security of property and life, and to defeat the execution of @ law which it is my duty to enforce, I warn all such persona that ample preparation has been made to vindicate the authority of the govern- ment, and that the first exhibitions of disorder dt violence will be met by the most prompt and vigorous measurés for their repression.
