azy-We find IL the Cbjcaoo Post a let

give find ia the Chicago Post let
ter from Judge Scates, one Of the most en-
inent lawyers in Illinois, and a speech by
Gen. Logan, which we would gladly re-
print, but cannot fnd room. These lead
ers Of the genuioe Douglas Den ocracy Of
Illinois, are TOO earnest patriots to SYM
pathize with the B,eckinridge Democrl-
cy in their determination to embahass tie
prosecution of the war, by raising old po-
Iitical issues, when the Government @eeds
the support of every man in the loyal
States.
We give the concluding paragraphs Of
Judge Scates' letter, which are full Of
patriotic fire and eloquence. Says the
Judge:
"rhey stand quarrelling with the abo-
litionists, for defeating the ornamental
wrealhs and establishments on the arch
of the citadel by scribbling their fanatical
dogmas over them, while traitors with
thei, besieging hosts are mining its foun-
dation. The true war democracy can
have no union, no sympathy with the an
ti-war men, whether democrats or re-
pubIicans. We can and win unite with
conservative war-fepublicans, and cannot
and will not unite with anti-war demo-
Gratis. They have chosen their position,
let them keep it. We have taken ours
beside our brave comrades in the Held.
and there We shall stand or fall, live or
die. We rush to the field, to rescue them
from an outnumbering foe. The war
the war only-and the best and only
means Of making a speedy end of this re-
beIJion, shall be our first and only care,
until the peril is passed, and the good old
ship rides safely into the harbor, with Its
triumphant old flag still floating to the
breeze.
IF anti-war men and bastard democrats
take advantage OF the true, while absent

democracy, have only this 20 say, that
there is day ofreckoning coming. When
we have taken care Of our armed enemies
in the field, we Will return and take care

minions, while we fight for them-but on
our return they will find their hands full
to take care Of themselves. | was for
peace while there was hope for compro-

he no peace, short of unconditional sub
mission o-the constitution and tho laws.
