Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Maid of Columbia Scene 1. - (The Village Hall. - Dr. Bolus, Simpson and Villagers discovered.) Simpson. (rising.) Fellow citizens: We are assembled here to-day for the purpose of drafting men for the Federal army. A law has recently passed, providing for the filling up of depleted regiments now in the field, by conscription. If any among you wish to enlist and receive the bounty, you now have the opportunity. Remember it is your last chance. If you are drafted, you receive no bounty, and your only chances of getting exempt, are: - by paying Three Hundred Dollars cash; furnishing a substitute; or being proved unfit for military service by physical disability. The army needs men, and if you do not willingly volunteer at this critical time, when this glorious American Union is in danger of being dissolved, there is no recourse but to conscription. Where is the patriotism of your revolutionary sires, who fought, bled and died, that our country might be freed from the galling chains of tyranny, to soar untrammeled on the wings of Liberty, and become a bright constellation among the nations of the earth? I shall now proceed, according to the requirements of the law, and hope you will preserve order during the process of drafting.
