Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Read and Judge for Yourself: C. L. Vallandigham´s Abolition and Disunion Seventh. Where there are a father and sons in the same family and household, and two of them are in the military service of the united states as non-commissioned officers, musicians, or privates, the residue of such family or household, not exceeding two, shall be exempt. Eighth. Young men between the ages of eighteen and twenty are exempt, for the reason that experience proves that soldiers under twenty years of age cannot sustain the burdens of camp life as well as men between the ages of twenty and thirty-five. These exemptions of the conscription act (so called) are in favor of those upon whose daily toil the aged, infirm, and helpless rely. Is it, as has been charged upon it, making "infamous distinctions between the rich and the poor," to exempt the only sons of poor widows, and to compel members of congress to fight, procure substitutes, or pay for substitutes? To exempt the only sons of aged or infirm parents dependent on them for bread, and compel the whole army of custom-house officers, postmasters, and government clerks to fight, procure, or pay for substitutes? To exempt the only brothers of fatherless and motherless little brothers and sisters dependent upon their daily toil for support? To exempt the fathers of motherless infant children dependent upon these fathers´ daily toil for sustenance, and compel state judges, justices of the peace, clergymen, and college professors to fight, procure substitutes, or pay for substitutes? Shame on the men who misrepresent the beneficient provisions of an act passed to uphold the cause of our imperiled country!
