would harg myself to the first limb
that could find. ] am willing t"l
remain IN the army ten years vet, tel
have " free Government and that il
what we will have We will put
down the Aag %! Slavery, and hoist
the Aag oi Freedom"
The above iphuman threats, coming
from soldiers who startrd out to fight
.or The maintenance Of the CJLstitu
ion and Lava, will astonisl thpiI
relatives nnl friends ut home. But
the lrIe friends Of the army ut home
will not be surprised, when We tell
them that the Boys in the field cal
not ct the Democratic papers, anil
not many letters, that explain Ia them
our true positions. Even the rt'crs
nt wives to their husbands have b,"n
opened by the rfhccrs and husbands
write to their wives to write n"ti;n
only what may DC seen by every = =
son. Men have subscribed f"r our
paper, and sent them to 8 ms, brother,
and friends in the amy. We sent
them for months. and they have hai
TO be discontinued because the B'Ns
never got them. What a bcaHifl'
slate OF aiflirs! Is it any w'DdeI
hen, that the Boys are not posted on
what is going on at homel Whcn
we consider, too, tllat all the AbJil'
ton papers, such as thc Cincinnati
Commercial, jackson Sandard, AMI
the Darkey Machine up street. is cir
culated freely in the army. There i'
duty for every trn9 friend "f tn"
soldier to perform; that is, to write t"
the Boys and lot them know that the
Democracy are the only true C"heti'
tutional Union men in the North. -
Let them know that it is an in'amous
lie that Democrats ar1 in favor oi Il
Gishonorable peace. Let them know
that VALLANDIGuAM never Advocated
any such doctrine, and that it is all an
Abolition lie. This 10 duty we all
Owc 10 the soldier; not from any fear
81 these threats that are ihoughiess'y y
made but us an act Of Kindness To them
We fear no,hing OF the attempts to
kill Democrats at home, from tho
soldiers; because, il ever that com'
mcnced, there most nnunestion"bIy
would bo "sombudy hurt, and per
haps there would be a cansi l"rable IN
crease Of the "kiIlch, wounded and
missing" When the Boys ge' hom',
and see and hear Of the wrongs their
true friends have been sufl ring, We
would not be as:onishea To hear Ui u
slight list OF "kiled, wounlcd and
missing among the Aboltionists,
after lhe deception they nave pIacticcd
on the army.
The uncalled for, and outrageous
threat OF the editor OF the R'gister t"
a large majority Of the citizens Of the
County, calls for rcbuke n the hands
Of the people without regard toparty.
Speaking Of Democrats and other
Constitutional and Law abiding citi.
zens, he SAYS:
"While you are tisming thr foe in
'ront-an open cneny-wr ~i,I nm
hesitate to "cut anl slash" among the
-ncakins, whining, contrmp'ihIe cur,
mere at home who are ever wlIlinE t.
"bey the "bcck anl nod" vl IL -
master JEFF ,"
What think you Of that rea Ter ! Ii
certainly requires no comment at "uf
hands, to receive your Contempt AMI
and Indignation. Again, 10 tines"
soldiers, when they c,ms home t" A1'
and murder Democrats, he says:
"rhcn you will have gran recop
ton on your return. byalI, save Cor
pERnEADs." W. will try To mina.c
them till ycu return, wh,n We vii
hanI them over to Your tender mer
