God forbid that we should ever be found
indorsing for one of these scoundrels, OF
one of those baser Williams on our streets,
who exult over their deeds Of carnage, and
are daily smuggling letters through our
lines to the enemy!
They have had, and still have. in the
hills and mountains OF Sewer County, 400
Cherokee Indians, under the command of
that prince Of marauders and thieves, Colo
mel Thomas, of Western Carolina. These
savages, less cruel than their white rebel
associates and companions in arms, are
robbing houses and scalping innocent citi-
Zens. Does any man in his senses suppose
for one moment that the Union men Of
East Tennessee, in all time to come, will
not shoot down these Indians wherever
they find them, and those also who have
had the command of them? We say, STAY
them right and left! They take the oath,
only to give them facilities in the work of
murder and robbery. They are going
through the country notifying their parol-
ed men from Vicksburg that they have
been exchanged, and, under the false pre-
lenses, violating every principal of honor

comes everyman, of whatever party, to
lay aside all other issues, and, adopting the
motto of the gallant Decatur, "our count
ry right, but right or wrong our country
torrally with patriotic ardor to her defense.
We must fight and fight to conclusion
so both belligerents have decided-and
while scorning and repudiating the idea
that as Democrats we have ever advocated
dlShOnorable peace, we now appeal to
the men of the loyal States to throw them
selves with renewed vigor into the contest,
and in the interests of humanity and in be-
half of those constitutional rights which
war endangers, to put speedy end to that
war by it's more vigorous prosecution.
The Administration has issued a call for
three hundred thousand more men with
whom to prosecute the war in the manner
above indicated, and those men must be
forthcoming, either by the terms of that
call or the odious machinery of a draft, or
our proud and glorious banner may be
trailed in the dust. and the destructive
spirit of anarchy and secession ride riotous
over the ruins of our country. Whatever
other peoples may do, we know full Well
the response that Illinois will make to that
call. No compulsion ever has been needed
to urge her patriotic sons to duty, and none,
we are assured, will be needed now. 10
arms, then, ever gallant and loyal sons OF
Illinois! Faithful among the most faith
full, and bravest among the brave, let not
your noble State, that nursing mother OF
heroes, have the reproach cast upon her at
this hour of the contest and in this day OF
National peril, that she is recreant to the
calls of duty, and that her quota remains
untitled. Unexampled bounties attest the
liherality of the Government, and your
grateful State never forgets the children OF
her love and pride. Rush, then, to arms,
you who have youth and strength and the
opportunity, and join your historic breth-
rem in that field which their valor has
made famous, and thus make glow with
added lustre the brilliant halo which en-
circles our glorious name. Do this and
grateful Nation will ever honor and protect
you and those near and dear to you, and
enshrine your memoryin her Utmost heart.
Do this, and we undertake to promise you
that the entire body of your brethren, with
out distinction of party, will shout "God
speed y to your sword and power to your
victorious arm, SO long as the sentiment OF
the immortal Webster, " The Union and
the Constitution, now and forever, one and
inseparable,' shall emblazon your ban
ner, and so long as, in the welcome Ian
guage of leading Republican paper, com
