RACINE, Wis, Dec. Z, 1861.
Eos. LEADRE End the people Of Indiana,
Illinois and Wisconsin delighted and over
joyed with Secretary CamerOn's report. l
have been oyer the main tbOrOughfares of
those States within the last two or three
days, and have had & good opportunity to
observe public sentiment, and the suggestions
of the Secretary in regard to the duty of the
Government towards rebel shareholders
meet with hearty and decided afiirma-
tive response from the loyal and patriotic
people of these States.
On Wednesday evening / heard an ad-
dress al Fort Wayne from Ex-Gov. Wright
of Indiana. The Governor took broad and
patriotic grounds on the subject of the war,
and the duty OF the Government in employ
all its war powers to speedily suppress the
rebellion. He said it was not the business
Of Democrats to inquire what brought it on,
but as lovers Of Constitutional liberty, to raj
" as one man in its thorough and speedy
suppression. The Governor was surprised
that newspaper scribblers and editors had
made themselves busy in discussing the
matter of the arrest Of those rebel traitors,
Mason and Slidell, and thought all had bet
ter wait until they heard from John Bull,
who, he was quite sure, would feel that he
had the best of the bargain in not having
/ L taA
ting plain and manifest breach of neutrality;
he though it highly probable that consider
able portion Of the English aristocracy
would be willing 10 meddie, not out of any
real sympathy to the rebels, but just for
the purpose OF destroying our unity as peo-
pie, and the great theory of self Government
/ as developed on this continent. BE had no
sort of apprehension of any interference,
however, from Eng land, as the great masses
of Prussia, Germ any and old gallant
/ France were with US heart and
soul, and with Napoleon at their head would
| give John Bull such q touch Of liberalism,
| if be should Interfere, as would make him
| quake and tremble with fear for his own pres
erVatiOn as a nation. He said it might sp-
pear strange to mention Napoleon as the
| great representative of free ideas in Europe,
but it was truth, and the people Of Italy, oI
Hungary, and other portions Of that country
regarded him as the natural head of all solid
and political improvements that had devel.
oped themselves for the last ten years.
This coming from a recent diplomatic rep.
resentative to Europe seems almost like Of.
fetal matter, and is certainly cheering intel
lieence to all who might fear trouble from
England.
The atmosphere is quite warm here and
mud is plenty at every step. There are sew.
en- or eight Independent battery companies
here, composed of a splendid body of men,
who are patiently waiting their time for {
chance to give the traitors an introduction tC
western bravery.
Business of all kinds is beginning to looh
better, and traveller from the old WOrlC
might pass through these States and not mis
trust that the country was in civil war, ant
had over six hundred thousand men in arms
What mighty commentary in favor Of in
telligence, civilization and ireedoml
have written this hasty communication il
the sanctum of Charles Clement, Esq, editor
and publisher of the Racine Weekly Journal
who is, like all loyal editors, as far as my &C
quaintance extends, every whit of gentle
man, and whose acquaintance l consider my
self happy in having made,
