Me-. EDITOR To day I.saw copy
of the Cassapolis paper, called the No
tio,.al Democrat, of June 23d. It is a
more vile and traitorous sheet than the
Chattanooga Rebel 1t pratesof1 Union
and the old Constitution, calls the Pres
ident a vile pettifogger and law break
err, praises that vile traitor Valiandig-
lam and cheers Mcclellan. Wbo ever
heard of such a mixture of principles
before. The editor of the Democrat
calls himself true Democrat and a
supporter of Democratic principles,
and there is not Democrat Soldier in
the army Of the Cumberland but what
would wiring his neck if they could get
hold of him, for traitor in arms is bad
enough but still deserving of human
treatment, but such men as prepared
the resolutions that were adopted by
the Mass Convention at Cassapolis. on
the goth of June, had ought to suffer
the fate of spies and murderers. They
are at the present time and have been
ever since the commencement of the
war of more harm to the General Gov
ernment and of more detriment to the
success of our army than the armed
rebels in our front.
The editor of the Democrat is great
advocate of free speech and free press,
and condemns the exercise of Martial
Law. He knows he has violated the
rights of free speech by using that right
for the expression of traitorous words
and the vile abuse against the General
Government and against its supporters,
(which is the soldiers who are in the
feld) and knows that he deserves to
have his filthy and disloyal sheet sup
pressed and himself sent to State
Prison or hung. Under such circum-
stances who can blame the editor Of
the Democrat for advocating free
press, he speaks of what crushing et.
feet Mr.. Lowry's speech made on the re-
publican part Ofthe assembly, and
then adopts Resolutions to throw aside
all party creed. 1t must be the editor
of the Democrat is going crazy. Can't
the good men cf Cass County help him
a little. Send him TO the Lunatic
Asylum or South. Poor man, be
wants to 60 and help the poor down
trodden South and don't hardly dare to
do it, so he stays at home and does all
he can to injure the Government and
discourage our soldiers and to make his
treachery worse he couples the name
of Geo. B. Mcclellan, y it'll tie butter,
nut writing, and Gen. Mcclellan would
spurn him from him quicker than he
would the dirtiest brute on the face of
the earth. .....7 s.-..r
Why don't the Union men Of Cass
County, if there are any lclt, arise and
do something to check those disunion-
lists. Your sons, brothers and neigh
bors who are in the army, look for
them TO keep down the traitors at home.
Do this. and We can easily manage the
traitors in our front. Our arms has
been very successful for the last month,
and think that peace will soon shine
on our beautiful country again. The
health of our army is very good. The
cars ran to this place to-day, the first
train that has come in. The LIST Mich.
Mechanics and Engineers are repairing
the road as fast as possible. Butt have
written to a greater length. than / IN
tended and will close. Yours, in the
support of the Union and the Consti-
tuition. 5so lo CYRUS SMITH,
