Eiilor Nad9iHe Uaions
clip the following from the Louisville
Journal Of the Goth April, which ! hope
you will insert in your valuable paper,
as the soldiers will oil get TO see it as
they all read the Union!
The following extract forms the con-
%clusion of a letter written by Gen. Hal
leck TO a radical mass meeting:
ave have already made immense pro-
gress in this war-a greater progress
than ever was before made under SINH
lar circumstances. Our armies are still
advancing, and il sustained by the voices
of the patriotic millions at home, they
will ere long crush the rebellion in The
South, and then place their heels upon the
heads of sneaking traitors IN tho North."
When language such as this was used
= several weeks ago by a certain General
Millroy, we denounced il as infamous,
and held IL up TO the execration of the
people. We now with additional stress
apply TO the language OF General Hal
leck what we then said Of the language
of General Millroy. II is unspcakably
Infamous, and deserves, as it will receive,
the heartfelt execration Of the people.
Nor will the people, nor should they, rest
content with simple execration, however
deep and burning they will, as they
should, aye, as they must, address them
rl selves with new earnestness and resolu-
tion to the great work of putting down at
the ballot-box the destructive and infer
nal party of which General Halleck is a
worthy chief. This work is indispensa-
BILE TO the national salvation. Let the Ian
guage of General Halleck, and all other
like manifestation Of radical guilt and
folly, but nerve the people to perform with
holder energy and with loftier zeal the
indispensable work. Such manifesto
tions, as we are well assured, can have
no other effect; and, in this point of view,
they are fraught with hope rather han
with despair. Whom4h the gods would de-
strOy they first make mad. And il re.
quires no stretch of fancy TO see in this
fiagitious conduct Of the radicals the
madness which heralds their own de-
struction.
The reader will observe that General
Halleck proposes hat when the loyal
men in the field, battling for the Union,
p shall have 'crushed the rebellion IN tie South,
and returned home, they will then be
able to place their heels on the heads of
snea1iag traitors in the North
Is it possible that the Journal can have
so much sympathy for %sneaking traitors IN
the NoyW aud none for their more manly
brethren South? Nobody can believe
such foolishness.
Perhaps it is the other horn Of the di-
lemma; perhaps the Journal knows that
its name will come high up on the list Of
'%sneaking traitors in the North and the
dreadful crushing il has SO long deserved,
will come all too soon for the doughty
Editor.
Like the wild beast in the forest he
may howl in the face Of the storm he
cannot arrest. But it win come, not
withstanding.
Every man with as much sense as the
law requires for a voter, can and viii see
where the sympathy Of tho Journal lies,
Ono play on words) and will treat it ac-
cordingly.
The soldiers don't believe that the
Journal can show So much solicltude for
the heads of the 's%neahing traitors North
and yet have no desire for the success of
the men of the South who hold tho same
opinions. UNION.
