M Dear Sir:-lour letter on behalf

Most gladly would | join you if duties
did not prevent.
speak the heartfelt convictions Of this
army, when shy that the necessity Of
preserving the Constitution, framed and
established by WASHINGTON and his CO.
iemporaries, brought us from our homes.
The conviction that we fight Tor the rights
Of all, against anarchy or remorseless
tyranny, has put arms in our hands,
hitherto exercised only in peaceful labors;
retains us ia the Geld, and will retain MS
there, until Constitutional liberty and
National unity shall be secured or we,
with our once glorious country land
OF WAsHNGroN-liy only in the memo
ry Of the unhappy suryissrs Of the wreck
Of the fairest fabric ever reared TO free
dom by the hand Of man.
The success Of the rebellion would be
the triumph Of arbitrary and unscrupu-
lous despotism over liberty, reason and
justice, its downfall is demanded BY the
common interests and future hopes Of the
whole American people.
With true regard,
Your Fellow citizen,

Perhaps public men were more violently
abused by their partisan opponents than JEFrKn-
son and Jackson in their day. for the simple rea-
that they were the leaders and representa-
tives of the Democrats party The abuse of
JrFERsoy was without parallel ia the history of
party warfare. Every possible evil predicted
would result from his election to the Presidency
Similar were the prophecies in regard to JACKSON
They were elected. however, triumphantly by the
people. and their administrations of the govern
ment form the most brilliant epochs in the his
tory Of the nation. History, 1t is said. repeats
itself The same vituperation and abuse which
characterized the opposit to the Demo-
cratic pprtv in the days Of JACKSON and JEFFER
reproduced at the present day. aud my
not hope IL may be attended with similar
results. All reforms Of public abuses meet with
violent opposition This j. illustrated in the
history OF both Church and State. The corrup
tions Of the present day have no approximating
parallel in the administration OF the Government
since we have been nation. These contamina.
ting influences have reached far and deep. 1t
must be expected then that the work of reform
VIII excite The luminosity from interested pari
sans that IL ever has II has done So Hence
tho abuse of leading Democrats from the men
Who are fattening upon the drippngs from tie
public treasury. from thieving contractors and
from their compensated apologists The most
violent abuse OF Democrats comes from those who
have made money out Of the very troubles OF The
cou try and therefore desire their indefinite con
tinusnce. They care not how long the terrible
civil war continues. for like vutures they can
fatten upon the miseries which it occasions.
Both JESrrRsoS and JACKSON fought against the
efforts to establish a central despotism-an over
Swallowing centralized Federal poser--which the
opposition to the Democracy are now attempting
to fasteu upon the country, and IL Is influence /
BY the same spirit which characterized the oppo.
nents Of the Democracy when those men were lis
