HEADQUARTERS PRovosT MARSHALL
LOUISVILLE, KY, June s, 1868. 49,
To the Editors of the Democrat: '-'-
GENTLEME have the honor most re-
spectfuIly to request that you. discontinue
your attacks and reflections upon the war
policy Of the Administration, and the war
measures of the Government.
l am. gentlemen, very respectfully, your
obedient servant,
Colonel and Provost Marshal.
We confess that we haze doubted whether
the war m sasures of the Administration are
the perfection Of human wisdom; but this
eloquent bit of paper" has removed orr
doubts, wiped the black seruples from our
soul, and convinced us that when Abraham
Lincoln dies, wisdom will go into the grave
with ShimGall, except one leg, which will
be buried with the rest OF the Cabinet. We
believe that if all the departed SolomoDs
and Solons had come back, and, with all
the advantage of their experience in this
world and in the other, had set themselves
to work, they could not have devised any
means so we'll calculated as those of our Ad
ministration. to restore our Union ard make
lieve iu subiugation, determination, ruina-
ton and botheration generally. Give US
any believing to do, and the job shall be
done at this Office with the utmost neatness
and dispatch. Ask us to believe that two
and three make seventy nine; that the earth
is fiat, and that the Provost Marshal of
Louisville is not, and see If we don't do it.
II any body finds any believing hard to do,
let him call on US. and We promise to do it
to lis satisfaction, and m UGH cheaper than
he could do it himself. Like the old saibt
who complained that what the church re-
quired him believe was too easv, we want
somebody to try our powers. Oh, for some
thing hard to believed And after believing
all possible and all impossible things, like
Oliver Twist, we will cry for more!
We are indebted for so much enlighten-
ment to the ilIustrious Colonel Moore, of
the Twenty fifth Michigan, Provost Marsh al
of Louisville, &c.
He has conceived the brilliant idea that
the people, who own Presidents, and Gen
erals and Provost Marshals, are not to dis
cuss what is Of vital interest to them; that
somebody has a divine right to rule. We
are convert, just now, tn this idea, for the
present Having elected and appointed
men to think for US, it is not in order to
think; it is decidedly unconstitutional, and
we repudiate to day the bad practice. The
illustrious Provost NJ arshal should turn his
attention to other practices and habits in
vogue in this city. Rumor has many ton
CUES, and they run at the expense of even
Provost Marshals. We have great mind
to tell some of them, but as the Provost
Marshal knows more about them than we
do, it is sufficient to call his attention to
them. We know that old fashioned peo-
pie will comment on this note to 90 it.
Let them follow our example. 1t is above
comment, and ought to pass with silent
admiration. Nobody but Colonel Moore is
entitled to the credit of this exploit He did
it by his authority, and his alone. He sets
a high example to Generals Boyle, Burn
side, and Lincoln himself, which they will
appreciate at its full value, no doubt. .
