Col. JACOBS, of the 26th. in the eyes Of all
sensible men has disgraced himself by consenting
"a sign a threatening document slanderlng people
of the north, dencminating them TRAITORS" and
endorsing all the radical and Revolutionary meas
| ures of congress. This document issue" from the
| division Of SCHURZ. and ia signed by a lot of place
| hunting Oolonels who declare that they are more
| ready than ever to punish %tTastors at honse a. well
| AS the rebels in arms" These fellows better de-
| monstrate their hostility TO the rebels before
| threatening the TRAITORS at home" Their off,
cious and impudent interference with the poiitl.
cal opinions of the north may gam them promo
ton, but that will never save them from reprobs-
ton and contempt.
We take the above item from the Milwaukee
Ne,cs just to show the spirit by which the peace
portion of the Democratic party is actuated.-
Col. JACOBS is singled out from all the Off
GERS who have protested against the course of
the fre-in-thesrear democracy, of the loyal
States, merely to furnish the occasion for a
slap at Gen. Schurz, and other of eur German
officers. The Neus says this protest sis sign
ed by a lot of place hunting Colonels.' Why
| should the editor of the Necs denominate the
officers of this division as "a lot of place-hunt>
ing Colonies, ANY more than the thousands Of
| Coils. from ILLINOIS,, Indiana and Ohio, who
have signed similar papers for the last few
weeks Thu reason is plain. Because the
editor of the Ne,os can no longer use these men
to strengthen his political party against the adj
| ninistratiou, he is ready to turn and abuse and
beiie them. They are Germans, and have en-
listed to defend their adopted country from the
arms of traitors and rebels, and this is their

Of staying at home and taking part with the
editors Of the Neos and the Ozaukee rioters,
they are branded as men who have disgraced
themselves.
The Netcs says Col. JACOBS has ''disgraeed
himself in the eys ofali sensible men by con.
senting TO sign e threatening document Sian,
dering people at the North" IF Col. Jacob.
has disgracei himself by this course, then he is
in good company. There is hardly a Colonel
9. General in the whole South Western armies
of Rosecrans and Grant, who have lot signed
similar documents, or those even more con.
demnatory of the northern rebel sympathizers
Why don't the editor of the Necs attack anC
abuse those officers, as well as those of Genera
Schurz's Divisions Why not begin with Geu
Rosecrans and go through with all the officer
in his division and say they have disgracet
themselves by endorsing all the radical aud
revolutionary measures Of Congressf The,
have all said as much or more than Col. ia
co5s and bis associates. .
The reason is patent to every one. The ed
itors Of the NeLos and his party are especial j
bitter against thess Germans because they hav,
enlisted to help crush this occursed rebellion
instead of staying at home, and like them ant
all whom they can influence, working agains
the administration and the Government. W.
have never yet seen as strong an expression
in the Net1s against the Ozaukee Draft rioters
rs this against these soldiers in the field, 10
their condemnation of the rebel sympathizer
of the North. We venture TO say ust no 10y
al friend of the Government Of the Unite
States will consider himself slaudered by thi
let ter signed by the Officers Of Gen Schurz'
Div ision.
We assure Col Jacobs, and al his co-signer
of that patriotic letter, which we publish else
where, that they will have the respect of a
loyal union-loving friends of this Government
for the course they have taken and for the 10y
al and patriotic expressions in that documen
which so displeases the sage and sensitive ed
itor of the Milwaukee Neus
