DouoLAs II. HAMILTON Dear Sir
Your favor of the 2lst ult. ID received -
You are right 10 your surmisc that the
article referred 10, and similar ones, are
rcrtffen mainly for lErsf-rn eon.umpfioa
The papers printed here go regularly TO
western soldiers, by some means, and are
MT unfrequsntly rspsblished in western
/ papers.
Ny sole object, therefore, in such edi-
torials As you refer, Is to increase the
Dissatisfaction now raeing In the West,
trusting it may soon break out in open
rnpture- This cnnrAa think l could de.
fend upon moral grounds. but that is not
necessary now. 1t il proper to say that
| / know nothing Of the Presidents views
on this subject. and the Nississippian
Though friendly to him. is not his organ.
Cordially sympathixing with you in he
redifary and intense hatred to the true
Yankee character, ] am, very respect
fdsly, @at 81 t4
/ F. T. Coorxs, Editor Aississippiap.
How Peace Democrat or Copper
head can read this extract without blush
of shame, We cannot imagine. 1t is here
avoved-- what the unfinching loyslists
OF the North have always maintained
that the object Of the rebels was to use
the Democratic party Of the Northwest as
auxiliaries, whom they would afterwards
discard with as little compunction as they
would throw away an old muskes that had
served their purposes.

men, for this supercilious insult? Are
they willing to be made the plant tools
Of the Southern leaders, who presume tc
tell them they are tools and nothing slsei
