New Orleans, Dec. 16, 1921
In obedience to orders from the President
have assumed command of the Department
of the Gulf, to which is added by his spec
ial order, the State of Texas. The duty with
which | am charged requires me to assist in
the restoration OF the Government Of the
United States. 1t is my desire to secure to
the people Of every class, all the privileges
and possessions and enjoyments which are
consistent with the public safety, and which
1t is possible for bsneissnt and Just Gov
eranent to confer. In the execution of the
high trust with which am charged, rely
upon the cooperation and counsel of all 10y
al and we'll disposed persons. and upon the
manifest interest OF those dependent upon
the pursuits of peace as well upon the sup
port of Naval and land forces. My instruc-
| tons require me to treat as enemies those
who are enemies, but shall gladly regard
as friends those who are friends. No re-
strctions will be placed upon the freedom Of
individuals which are not imperionsly de

considered, it is due also to them. to state
that all the rights of the Government will be
unfiinchingly maintained -respectfn con-
sderation and prompt reparaton viii! be
accorded to all persons who are wronged in
body or estate by those under my command.
The Government does not profit by the
prolongation of civil contest or the private or
public sufferngs which attend it.
Its fruits are not equally distributed. In
the disloyal States desolation has empire on
the sea and on the land. In the North the
war is an. abiding sorrow, Bat not yet a ca
lamity. Its cities and towns are increasing
in population wealth and power Tle refu-
gees from the South alone compensate in q
great part for the terrible determinations of
battle. The people of this Department who
are disposed to stake their fortunes and their
lives upon resistance to the Government,
may wisely reflect upon the inmutab!e con-
utt'oiiS tilc'u. lnc valley
of the Mississippi is the choice seat Of popu-
lat:on, produc. and power on this continent
In few years twenty five millions of peo-
pie, unsurpassed in material resources and
capacity for war. will swarm upon its fertile
rivers. Those who assume to set conditions
upon tn, exodus to the Gulf count upon q
power not given to man. The country
washed by the waters Of the Ohio, the Mis-.
souri, and the Mississippi, can never be per-
manently severed. IL one generation base.
ly barriers away its rights, immortal honor
will rest upon another that redeems them.
Let it never be said eth or that the East and
West may be separated. Thirty days dis.

it will not answer the demands of Illinois

Mr. EDIros IL flnl an article in the ed

contains some .talsehoods so glareng and
unwarranted, that take tho responsibility.

of Wapello county generally, to them. l
could remi ID the editors of the passage of
scripture, which they, good easy souls,
quote for others, but do not like to cast
pearls before swine" Now, let us look mt
some of the falsehoods contained in said
article. 1t says that the "Republicans, an I.
ticipaiins an election of their candidate by
fraud in the soldiers vote, had Civ.
sa out that Gillespie was elected and thas
Brown had retired to private lile." This it
lie Nv one. No such anticipations had
been INDUCED in by any Republican, and
no such results had been "given out" by
any Republican to my knorledge The
Republicans were not as fearful of the sol
dier's vote, as Mr.. Brown told Mr.. w. B
Fisher, of Dahlonega, the Sabbath before
the election. 1--WE were" Who "pe" r.,

GRAFT, because Fisher had just told him who
zoe had nominated for Township Officers,
naming all Democrats The fact is, that the
Democrats have such lively recollection Of
how they managed malt,rs when they had
chance, that they supposed the Republicans
would give them measure for measure. ~
If there was any fraud practced upon them
| suppose Mr.. Gaylord found it out when
he was at Fort Des Moline lately, examining
the returns in the secretaries Office. Again
the Mercury says-and you know, Mr.. Ed.
