Again the President, at the request of the various govern- ors of the loyal States, issued a proclamation, July 1, 1862,
270
HISTORY OF NORTH BRIDGEWATER.
calling for three hundred thousand more volunteers, to serve for three years, or during the war. The number of regi- ments sent from the State, up to this date, was twenty-seven, besides thirteen unattached companies, making in all 31,377 men.
The quota for Massachusetts was 15,000; the number called for from North Bridgewater was 52. In response to the above call, a legal meeting of the town was held at the new church vestry July 19, 1862, at which it was "voted to borrow $5,200 for a term of years ; and to pay $100 each to any person that should volunteer into the service of the United States, under the late call of the President."'
After remarks by several gentlemen present, the following resolutions were offered by D. C. Cowell, and adopted : -
Resolved, That earth has never seen a holier war than that now waged by the Government of the United States, to put down rebellion ; and that we should be derelict and criminal in the highest degree, if we failed to make every needful sacrifice, in order to transmit to our posterity the glo- rious heritage of popular government
Resolved, That we hail with satisfaction the recent legislation in Con- gress, as an evidence on the part of the government that treason and rebel- lion shall be promptly and effectually crushed.
Resolved, That there shall be paid from the town treasury to each vol- unteer from this town, who shall enlist on or before the 30th inst., until our quota is complete, the sum of one hundred dollars.
Resolved, That while the citizens of this town will endeavor to do, and will do, their duty, and their whole duty, they have a right to expect that those in authority, whether in Congress, the cabinet, or the field, will pursue a vigorous policy, and make war in earnest, until the last rebel has laid down his arms, and acknowledged paramount allegiance to the United States.
Resolved, That justice, which is the only sound policy and the best econ- omy, demands that the government should call upon every loyal person, without distinction of complexion or race, within the rebel States, to rally around the flag of the Union, and should give freedom and protection to all who obey the call, and that the neglect in the future so to do will be a stu- pendous blunder, unparalleled in the history of the world.
Immediately after the above meeting, the business of re-

Again in August, came a call for 300,000 more troops as follows : -
Ordercd, First, that a draft of 300,000 militia be immediately called into the service of the United States, to serve nine months, unless sooner dis- charged.
Ordered, Second, that if any State shall not, by the 15th of August, fur- nish its quota of the additional 300,000 authorized by law, the deficiency of volunteers for that State shall be made up by a special draft from the militia.
EDWIN M. STANTON, Secretary of War.
273
THE REBELLION OF 1861.
The quota for Massachusetts, under this call, was 19,080. In response to this call, the people were, as in the previous calls, " wide awake." Early on Thursday morning, August 21, 1862, a large handbill was circulated with the following announcement : "War meeting ! Grand rally ! Volunteering vs. drafting ! Rally to your country's call !" etc. The mect- ing which this bill called together was held on the afternoon of Thursday, the 21st, at two o'clock, in the new church vestry. Patriotic speeches were made by Hon. B. W. Harris, of East Bridgewater, J. C. Cluer, of Boston, and others of the town, the sentiment of the meeting being decidedly in favor of crushing the rebellion. This meeting closed at five o'clock P. M., to give way for a legal town meeting, to be held in the same place. At the close of this meeting, which had been adjourned to the Saturday following, after remarks by several persons present, the following resolutions were offered by David L. Cowell, which were adopted by the meeting : -
Resolved, That the citizens of North Bridgewater, in furnishing their quota of the 300,000 volunteers for three years, and the additional quota for nine months, have neither exhausted their means nor their patriotism, but that they are ready to respond to another call, and still another, if neces- sary, to put down treason and rebellion.
Resolved, That the present rebellion is an insurrection of political slave- holders against republican institutions, and therefore the power of slavery should henceforth be turned to the use of freedom ; that the slaves of rebels should be liberated, and as many of them as are willing armed ; and, while we have unwavering confidence in the honesty and patriotism of the President, we earnestly implore him to have faith in the people, and go ahead.
Resolved, That, without detracting from the merit of those who have gone before, the alacrity with which our young men come forward, in response to the call for nine months' men, eminently entitles them, under the peculiar circumstances of the case, to be called volunteers.
The number that had enlisted, up to the close of the meet- ing, was seventy, each of whom generously offered to relin- quish fifty dollars on their bounty of one hundred and fifty dollars, as voted by the town to be paid to each volunteer.
274

Richmond, volunteered at once, and was sent to Camp Joe Hooker, at Lakeville, where it filled up its ranks to the full requirement.
