EDIEoa LELDEE Here l am in this "FOr-
est City, on the shores of Lake Michigan,
and thought would write you line,
giving you some Of the impressions Of the
trip here from Medina county, Ohio. By
the way, Mr.. Editor, would recommend
all persons in Ohio, who desire to go to TIi-
nOls or Wisconsin, to go on the P. F. W. &
c. R. R. They have through trains, and
run on time, and by their kindness and at
tentlOn, make their passengers at home
The officers of that road have none of your
Stiffness and freezing formality SO often
found on .he Railroads of our country,
which to me is a great consideration when
away from home.
From Orestline on to this city, vegetation
Of all kinds, is green, growing and vigorous
and especially corn looks remarkably well.
Chicago has all the elements of a Metro
politan city, and business is beginning to look
up in sll departments St. Louis is about
dead just on account Of the treachsry and
dislOyalty, Of many Of its Inhabitants.
There has been a strong rivalry between
st. Louis and Chicago, but now the ques-
ton is settled for the present. The one is
dislOyal, and the other is loyal, and Of
course The one will be cursed while the
other win be blessed. The people of this
Western country are true and loyal to our
Government. All party feelings are swsl-
lowed up in devotion to sustaining the
Government In its tremendous struggle
against the traitors of the South, (the
North has its traitors, but the loyal people
will settle them without aid Of govern
ment, and there can be nothing more
cheering 70 the heart Of loyal Ohio. man
than 70 see and hear the joy expressed by
all at the noble position Of Ohio, in her
Convention last week. Every one says
| that Ohio has now piRced herself right be-
fore the world, and the miserable, despised
faction Of that State who would seek to
keep up q Democratic party organic alton,
and thus aid and comfort the robbers Of the
South, will ind themselves cursed and
damned beyond the power Of moral OF
politiesi regeneration They will only be
remembered to be cursed in the memory
of al right-mindsd people in all coming

Ohio will stand out all right.
