Editors Chicago Tribune:
We, the undersigned, deem it our duty in
justice to Mr.. L. lampertz, late town clerk,
to make public statement in answer to the
many attacks that haze been made upon him
through and by the press, Of the facts as they
exist, which wooed him to take the course he
did relative to the canvass Of the returns Of
the town Of South Chicago
VIC believe lie WAS actuate only By motives
Of honesty and fairness, and acted under the
influence Of legal counsel and sound discre-
tior, and that in all the several steps which
he took from the beginning Of the canvass
until the close Of the legal contest, he was
aiming to do his duty under the circumstan'
ces, to guard the interests Of the voters and
the candidates, and not to advance his ow1
interest in the slightest In the matter Of ap
peal from the decision Of Judge Manniere, ht
declined so to do, until he was persistcntly
urged: by other parties who supposed thei
| interest would be affected by it, and then yer,

a Sad Picture Of the Grand Amy of the
Potomac.

WASHINGTON, January 25--Across the river
matters are really in an unpleasant condition.
The rain and mist continue with us; we have not
seen the sun for fortnight; the mud is worse
than ever, Possible, and obtains on all the roads
leading from the river to the camps, to such an
insufferable depth and sickness that even the
sick and dying of hundred regiments-men
sickening and dying from exposure TO this vey
aDeather-cannot be brought TO the city hospitals for
decent tendance and care. Few ambulances cross
the bridges; the army wagons with greatest con-
ceivahle difficulty supply our camps with their
daily rationS. Government teamsters look more
like earth-burrowing Fins, or the indicating
Indians ofthe Orinoco, than like civilized Yankees
and patriots. Those regiments encamped in low
land, or side-hill locations, suffer untold misery
from the mud whipped to jelly in and about
their tents, and some are undergoing defamation
from resultant diseases. From one cavalry regi-
nent, attached to Gen. Summers division, and rery
unfdoorably encamped taro hundred and eighty-sia
cases tgphod and other naaladies arethis week re-
ported! Thtse are sickening facts, and hate to
communicate them but the public should know
the distresses which the herosm of our soldiers
patiently endures, and be silent over its own mi
nor evils of hard times and prospective taxation.
| do not see that military leaders are greatly to
blame for the existing condition of the camps; it
seems to be inseparable from the climate, and the
position which must be maintained at all hazards;
and we trust that a week of sunshine, should it
ever come will put an end to the chief causes of
these evils.
So much for the soldiers themselves. The con-
daion Of the majority Of horses belonging to the
cavalry and to The transportation department is still
more deplorable. Hundreds, thousands Of them are
dead disabled sufficient forage cannot reach them
and they are exhausted aciM famine and diarrhea.
In many localities they stand day and night tetlock
deep in mud, shaking and sickeang in that hopeless,
helpless equine misry so paJfuI 10 ,oitness.
do not think that the standard of discipline
and drill is near so high throughout the army of
the Potomac as it was couple of months since.
From the very necessities of the weather and
ground, all brigade and division drills have been
suspended since the middle of December. The
men attend company exercise and stand guard,
the rest of the time budding for warmth within
! their tents A species of decentralization invari-
ably attends such respites and changes though a
week of good active service would make all right
My aim in army letters written during the
past year has ever been to present truthfully the
condition of affairs, far as it is prudent to pre-
sent it ALL

Running the Machine.
From the Richmond Dispatch, Jan. lG.

When the dignifed and decent gentleman who
presides over the United States was on his route
to Washington, he declared in one of his wayside
speeches that he "should run the machine of the
Government as he found it." How he has full
flied the promise, couched in this elegant phrase
ology the country has now seen. He has "run
the machine on every principle of civil and poll
teal liberty that is contained in the Constitution
and laws of the Union. He has run the machine
on rights as old as Magma Charta, until there is
not despotism in Europe which dares to Cypress
and enslave its people as Lincoln Expresses and
enslavcs the once free country over which he pre-
sides. Such n thing as free press or free speech
is tolerated in no part of his domains. His ma
chine has crushed to atoms every semblance oflaw,
liberty and justice in the entire North And
wherever it has been permitted to operate in the
South, it has overthrown every thing like order,
peace and security. He has attempted to run it
over the whole South, but it is still stuck in the
mud upon our borders and sea coast stained to n
deep crimson with the blood of people whom it
can never run over or subjugate. The machine
of the United States Government, once the emblem
ofliberty and law, has become, in Lincoln hands,
ponderous Juggernaut, which brushes none so
completely as those who fall down to do it hom-
age. Let us hope that the time is not distant when
this accursed machine " will run off the track,
and plunge, with its engineer down fathomless
abyss of shame and retribution.

perfectly secure. Besides, if it should become me-
cesary for us to be attended to in your aoay,
theadministratior has enough of its satellites in
ourown county who would take great pleasure
in attending to the matter, without any officious
Interference on your part.
AID oh we 'made a most extraordinary ef-
fort n the late campaign, and succeeded in ar
raging nearly all the aristocrats in Hartford coun-
ty against the general government" All, in
decd Now the fellow is getting serious, and
putting out his best ticks. If we only had a
FOOLS dictionary, and could understand what The
fellow means by aristocracy, or his idea of what
const tues the general government, we might
plead guilty or not guilty, to the charge If he
means to insinuate that we ever attempted to ar
ray any one against the Constitution and La,rS Of
the Union, or of the State of Maryland, we pro-
nounce him guilty of base calnmny. Ifhe
means that by opposing the Black Republican po-
icy of the party in power we array ourselves
against the government, he must be an idiot. If
it is to be understood by arstocracy, the intell-
gence, the worth, the wealth, the industry, and
all that combines to make a people prosperous
and happy, we believe we have aided in ''array-
ing nearly all" of that element Of society in Har
ford on the side of right justice and humanity
Ifhe like some hereabouts, looks upon every one
who attempts to rise three degrees above brute
as an aristocrat, we can only pity the poor SIM
pleton who allows himself to be annoyed by them.
Leaving Jack for the present, and begging par
don of our readers, we await with patience the
moose to be prepared for us by the treason bill.

Gratifying.

Governor Bradford, of Maryland, in his recent
Inaugural message, truly and forcibly commends
the President and his Administration DIS having,
throughout their efforts to suppress the rebellion
consulted the feelings and wishes of the border
slave States, and by no act or word given their
shareholders any just cause ofcomplaint or alarm.
As their reward for this careful consideration, he
assures us that
$50 long as the Federal Administrations
continue devote we believe it hiss us 'Nswto
dohe the powers at its command faithfudy to the
accomplishment of the same national objects,
and steadfastly resisting all attempts to misappy
these powers, shall continue honestly to exert
them with the single and sacred purpose of sus-
tanning the supremacy of the Constitution, so long
will Maryland, impelled by every instinct of in
terest and affection unite ardently she does to-
day in upholding the Union, of which she is the
heart"
Now that's what we call cheering, comforting
encouraging. If the Government defers to the
Border States in all things, and conducts the War
for the Union in such manner as to give the slave
holding rebels no reason to fear, in any event,
the loss of their dearly cherished negroes, Mary
land twill unite as ardently as she does to-day
in unfolding the Union" We like that; but we
trust Secretary Stanton and Gen. Mcclellan will
take good care to keep Baltimore well garrisoned
and the railroad bridges well guarded by North
ern volunteers as hitherto. 1t wouldn't be plea
SAINT to hear that Washington was again isolated
and beseiged by an unopposed rebel-rising and
mastery in the Monumental City; and that her
Young Christians had once more presented them
selves by deputation at the white House, demand

Extracts from "Jim" Lanes Speech at
Chicago.

HOW HE PROPOSES TO CARRY ON THE WAR.
aft is no time for talk nowSEbut for action
we have consumed eight months in inactivity,
have wasted three hundred millions ofdollars and
sacrificed twenty-five thousand lives, and turned
this country upside down in our insane endeavors
to put down this Internal rebellion and save slave
Try. tell you it can't be done, and the Govern
ment Has come to that conclusion. Let me tell you
coafdentially, that on Monday last they opened
new set of books, and came to the conclusion that
if the Union can't be saved and slavery saved then
down goes slavery. The rebels have either got to
submit to die or to run away. tell you the time
has come when play must stop. The rebels must
submit or be sent down forthwith to that hell al
ready yawning to receive them.
''This desirable consummation was effected bya
compromise. The radical men agreed that the
conservative men should carry on the war accord
ing to their notions for eight months, provided
they were allowed the next eight. The time is
up for the conservatives, and they now hand the
war and its conduct over to the radicals; and
every conservative man should now extend the
same encouragement and support which we gave
to them in the prosecution Of their method
"The other day, while was talking with the
President, Old Abe said to me, Lane, how many
black men do You want to have to take care of
your armyF | told him as my army would num-
Der "a, 900, proposed to have thirty-four thous-
and contrabands in addition to my teamsters and
wagon-masters. l consider every one of my sold
iers engaged in this glorious crusade of freedoma
knight errant, and entitled to his squire to pre-
pare his food, black his boots, load his gun and
take off his drudgery. Vanity and pride are ne
cessary adjuncts of the soldier, and do not pro-
pose to lower him by mental offices, nor compel
him TO perform the duties of the slave. So, while
l shall elevate the slave by giving him his freedom,
and making man of him, shall also elevate the
soldier and leave him no work to do but fighting"
