To our Fathers, Brothers and Friends,
achOnasoever u may concern.
We, the undersigned soldiers. have
heard with sorrow that secret organiza-
tions have been instituted all over the
North BY the Abolitionists and we have
also heard. with deep regret, that coun.
ter movement has been instituted by the
Democratic party. We feel as il no good
will grow out Of these secret organiza
tions--they are the works of aspiring
men, or rather demagogues, for the pnr'
pose OF carrying out their own peculiar
views and riding into office on their own
favorlte hobbies.
We, as soldiers, despise and detest the
man or set of men who have not the good
of the whole country at heart. We pre-
fer the Union, liberty Of speech and the
free discussion of all our grievances In
stead of the nigger. It is true we, like
all other humane men, sympathize with
the negro in his present condition, yet
we see SO much suffering and distress
among the whites, of our own kin and
country born, that we cannot justify our
selves in stopping to talk about bc,tering
the condition of the "eternal nigger.
We are anxious to better our own condi.
tion. and we are satisfied that while this
war lasts our condition will be bad.
Now, dear friends at home, don't try to
suppress the freedom of speech. That
is God gwen boon, free as the air We
breathe encourage and cultivate it, for
out of it will grow wisdom, and per
chance wisdom will suggest some honor
able way of stopping this unhappy war.
Friends at home do not wrangle among
Yourselves; do not call one another hard
names: YOU never did nor never will all
think alike. There aresDemocra,s and
there are Republicans in this war, but
there are no Aboitonists in the war, un
less they are officers and growing fat out
OF it. We privates all agree on one thing
and that is the wish that the war may
stop speedily and honorably to all con
ccrned. Now, dear friends, do not call
your neghbor copperhead because he
suggests compromise as proper way
10 stop this war. Fathers, brothers,
friends, do not think that we have be.
come 50 blood thirsty that we pant for
Southern blood do not think for mo
ment that we are anxious to cxterminate
the race entirely from this earth, for such
Is not the case. We are willing to for
give and forget; all we want is peace, har-
monv, brotherly love, and respect for the
laws; "the Constitution as 1t Is and the
Union as it waS,s oI motto. Don't,
dear fiends, ft ~rn; think that we
wish to dictate~or NmE,n.o you one way
or the other in regard to politics; we care
nothing about politics further than to de
spise and dctest Abolitionists we have
all learned to do this since we have been
in this war. We can express our politics
in no better language than to say that the
party that strives the hardest to bring
this unholy war to an honorable and
speedy close is our party, now and for
ever.
We subscribe ourselves respectfully
