Even down here, there is one Republican.
He is a chaplain. He thinks us an army of
traitors. He has confidence in Fremont, and
goes so far as to impeach my patriotism
Your very name, sRid he, "is Eyetalian."

Then again, we want victorious soldiers,
mostly, to fight our battles Joe, having been
highly unsuccessful at home, offers US his
services, and the services of few thousand
highly unsuccessful men. Thank you for

As for the plea that Joe was defeated by
traitorous action, that is hardly available for
