Where it rss. when 6rst in,rus,ed to your puts.
SAINT arm: we we'll know. The rich eastern val.
lev of tho Potomac was IN your command That
great link Of the esst aud the wet over the Al
leghane.. the Baltimore and Ohio railroad wss

YOU we're wisely hsrricadng Yourself in the streets
OF Baltimore with tobacco, Lees Rebel legions
were reveling in your department. and gene ally.
robbing everybody OF most things valuable 10
them All this l. indeed tragic. because such
actors as YOU and Milroy murder the parts Won
put there 20 act: but what i curious. too. Il
that whileyou summon 10 YOUR rescue such New
York city regiments as the 7th. Ito say nothing Of
the numerous others YOU deprive SIX out of sew.

bills Of pacifcation and settlement. which. while
avoiding the then impending civil war. new
ertheless gave Us California free while fol
lowed humblv IN the wake of the great CLAY and
Webster. We differ now only we differed
then, but that IL no reason why YOU should call
the New York Express "disloyal.' or shut il out
from the people Of Maryland. and the New York
regiments now enabling YOU To be in Maryland
We meet together again in the next Congress,
sir. aud we will talk there all this over provided

nets successful in protecting YOU from that
military genius Of YOURS which first developed
itself in the railroad train al Viena. and which now
finds time, with Lees legons all about YOU. TO
open fight upon newspapers Bnt think com
prehend You A Congressional election il ap
proaching in Maryland. and il is more important
to stop reading in Maryland. and TO elect Adolf.
ton members of Congress there. than IL is pro-

Hence YOU consume that precious time OF yours
ia preparing an Inder Erpurgatorious Of news
papers which should be solely consecrated to
clearing off Hlgerstown. Frelercktown. and
other places in your department, To say nothing
of PENNSYLVANIA. | know not how IL IL. but so it
il. that while the Grants and McClellans of the
army 6nd all their time employed in defending
their dag and their country. YOU and the Miroys,
and the Hascals and the Burnsides consume the
most Of yours in fighting the newspapers Sir.
the true ambition of a great General should be to
stop bullets, not newspaper pellets! A General
that can not stand II little paper wadding can
never stand enemy's battery.
In closing. permit me TO ask that, If the New
York volunteer regiments from this city, nearly
nine tenths of which OF the Express way Of
thinking. now enable YOU TO keep your "head
quarters" in Bllrim0re. do you intend "to sup
press" that great route to the capital. the edi
rors as we'll ms the editors newspapers. for may
as well assure you in advance that MS Wing
member Of Congress | intend to talk over there
all. that Wing "disloyalty" which have now
been talking for twenty five wears continuously
and consistently in the New York Express--and
just as YOU and we're dsloyal to James X Polk
during the Mexican war, so am dsloyal now To
Abraham Lincoln and so intend to be- until he
o. goes back To the Crittenden Congressional
pledge and resolutions II. then. editors, as well
rs editors newspapers. arc to be suppressed" in
Baltimore. en- route to the capital. pray let US
know in advance. so that members Of Congress
not of the Abolition faith may stop in New York
State. where free speech and free press exist.
and where the Abolition members of Congress
can meet as by adjournment. to share with ns
this free speech and u free press. BY that time.
we see we shall have one hundred and twenty
eight New York militia regiments and the re
turned New York volunteers when even such
dsloyal papers as the Baltimore American. the
organ of Gen. Schenck himself, may be printed
without being Suppressed"
Yours, respectfully, JAMES Brooks
