AN od oacer OF the French Empire writing TO the

To maintain the respect of the world we must main

next the integrity OF our fundamental principles Al
for the argument that if the rebellion is crushed har-

fathers had to contend with the timid and the svad

II would be difficult my countrymen, to exaggerats
the solemn importance of our national position. A
struggle for life and death has commenced between
Freedom and Slavery, and on the event Of the struggle
depends national existence. Let us falter let -

But let us keep ever in mind the lesson we have 90

Liberty. Let the Administration and the Army feel
that their every act Is canvassed by intelligent peo

Let us, with this seepless vigilance part re-

won the generous applause Of his Democratic oppo-

Gen. Scott.
Like all true-hearted and brave veterans, he wishes
to spare far possible the blood alike of loyal SOL
diers and deluded rebels and to carry with the flag Of
Union not simply the power to make it respected,
but the more glorious attributes which t TO b
