Democratic Officers of the Army and
Navy ON Political Affairs in General,
and General Mcclellan In Particular.
Let our friends not fail to give the widest cir
eulaiion to the document hereinafter following.
II is stunner:-
Ldeutenant-E9eneraI Grant.
General United States Grant is the Lieutenant-
General commanding the armies of the Union
the hero Of Donelson Shiloh, Vcksburg, Chat
tanooga, the Wilderness, Spottsylyania, and the
campaign against Richmond. General Grant
has always been claimed as = Democrat, and was
even advocated for the Presidency by prominent
Democrats Nevertheless, In q well known letter
written after the fall of Vicksburg, this conscien-
heus anu modest man declared:-
'The people oftle North need not quarrel over the in
stution Of slavery. What Vice President Stephens

maintain slavery In the South II VIC to take posses
sOn, and had guaranteed to the South all her Csnstitu
hor privileges never was an Ab3iihonst; NOT even
fairly and honestly, but it became patont to my mind
very early in the Rebellion, that the North aud South
could never live at peace with each other, except
nation and that without slavery. As anxious as AN
10 see any settlement until this question forever soed
The position, antecedents, and character OF
9snerai Grant no less entitle his celebrated letter
on the question Of peace to profound respect. On
the 10th Of August he wrote as follows regarding
the condition Of the Rebellion
Their only hope Low Is divided North. This might

In his last great act he confiscAted whole city

heads complain for they claim him as Demo

most radical of radicals. 1t is well known that
he publicly declared himself in favor Of not only
crushing the Rebellion, but OF making the Rebel
States pay the war debt. But the following eX-
tracts from General ShCrmau's letter will be suf-
fcient 20 convert any Copperhead from the BELLE
