For the Reporter. PREAMBLE AND RESOLUTIONS,

Adopted at a meeting of the Union League of Alfred, Allegany County, N. Y. Aug. 8, 1863.

PREAMBLE.

Whereas, There seems to be a secret combination of the sympathizers with the Slaveholders' Treason, to resist the con­scription ac t and to thwar t the Govern­ment in its action to execute that law: and

Whereas , The case of Geo. W. Chad-wick of this town, in representing himself as the only son of an aged and infirm pa­rent, dependent on his daily labor for sup­port, within the meaning of the statute, is a most flagrant case of the action of such combination to avoid the execution of the law and nullify its effects, to defraud the Government, and to do injustice to loyal citizens liable to the draft; therefore

Resolved, That it is the duty of the

Board of Enrollment, and of all loyal citi­

zens, to use all honorable means in their

power, to bring the guilty parties to jus-

tice.

Resolved, That the action of the Board in summoning those whom they ascertain to have been exempted from the draft by fraudulent representations, to appear be-fore them for a rehearing, gives fair prom­ise of dealing out just ice.

Resolved, That the practice of lobbying for pay, to secure the exemption of such as have no jus t and valid excuse, is an imposition on the Board, renders the law unpopular with the masses, savors strong­ly of disloyalty to the Government, and, when successfully practiced to any con­siderable extent, leads to suspicion of complicity on the par t of the Board, and should, therefore, be a t once discontinued by all.

Resolved, That the practice of giving private examinations by the Surgeon of the Board, for a valuable consideration, is creating much dissatisfaction, subjecting the Board to censure, and should be imme­diately discontinued.

Resolved, That we sympathize with the Board in the difficult and arduous duties devolving upon them, and tha t we will, as every loyal citizen should, use our best efforts to sustain them in the upright and faithful discharge of those duties.

Resolved, That a copy of the foregoing Resolutions be furnished to each of the following papers, viz: Angelica Reporter, Genesee Valley Free Press , and Elmira Advertiser, and their publication solicited.

This completes the draft for this county,

except for the town of Rushford, which

has, for some reason, been postponed for a few days.

OLD ABE'S MILITIA.—The drafted men from the town of Independence, Allegany Co. reported at head-quarters yesterday. The result of the examintion is worthy of mention. There were twenty-eight men drafted. Of these, one is in jail, and did not show himself. The lucky fellow will escape. Of the remaining twenty-seven, no less than thirteen were exempted on account of physical disability, one for having parents depend­ant upon him for support, one furnished a substi­tute, ten concluded to pay the $300 required for commutation, and two thought perhaps they would go, but are holding the matter open for further consideration. They do not propose to act rashly in the premises.

These figures are suggestive. Nearly every other man is exempted for physical disability, and those who are not, almost universally commute. Precise­ly one-fourteenth report for service, unless the two men should conclude not to go into camp.

How long will it take to procure an army at this rate? By the way, who has the contract for sup­plying drafted men with "fodder?" It is evident that provision should be made on a magnificent scale. Let ample supplies be laid in.

Great chances for substitutes. Who will take the $300, advance pay, Government bounty, &c.— Now is your time.

A W H I T E SUBSTITUTE FOR A

BLACK CONSCRIPT,—BENJAMIN JOHNSTON, a

colored man was drafted from the town of Scio, Allegany county. Mr. Johnston report­ed at the Provost-Marshal's office in this vil­lage, on Friday last, and offered an able-bod­ied white man as a substitute. He was ex­amined and accepted, has been sworn into service, and is now in the barracks as the sub­stitute for Mr. JOHNSTON.

It seems to us that if a black man may hire a white man for a substitute, a white man ought to be allowed to hire a black man for a substitute. It is a poor rule that won't work both ways. The present arrangement gives the "nigger" an advantage over the whites, since he may hire from any color or race. We present this case for the consideration and indignation of our copperhead friends. It is another evidence of the "rank inequalities" of the Conscript Law, and perfectly conclusive on the point, which has heretofore been doubt­ed by some, that this is a "war for the nigger." —Elmira Advertiser.

A colored man from Alleghany Co.

who was drafted has hired a white substi­

tute who was accepted by the Enrolling

Board at Elmira. The Advertiser thus

facetiously comments on this incident:

" I t seems to us that if a black man may hire a white man for a substitute, a while man ought to be allowed to hire a black man for a substitute. It is a poor rule that won't work both ways. The present arrangement gives the "nigger" an advantage over the whites, since, he may hire from any color or race. We present this case for the consideration and indignation of our copperhead friends. It is another evidence of the "rank ine­qualities" of the Conscript Law, and per­fectly conclusive on the point, which has heretofore been doubted by some, that this is a "war for the nigger."

In obedience to the call, Allegany Co. reported at the Provost Marshal's office yesterday, a lurge number of her drafted sons.

Twenty-nine drafted men passed their surgical examination yesterday, from the town of Independence, Allegany co. To-morrow three or four towns will be disposed of, now that the work has been fairly inaugurated. The names of the ex­­mpted yerterday, will be found in another place.

Wm. T. Post, Esq., having resign­

ed the office of Commissioner of the Board of Enrollment, Capt. James H. Miles, of

Addison has been appointed to fill his place. Capt. Miles went out with the

107th Regiment, but was compelled to re-sign on account of ill heal th .—Elmira
