Communicated.

Mr.. ED1ToR A short time since notice
appeared in your paper, of the two Societies
in Dodgeville, in which was expressed a
desire for their union.
Although the remarks were made in a
spirit of kindness, they led to few rehec-
tons, which ! hope you will not consider
unworthy of an insertion in your columns.
True beneyolence is not confined to any
one channel it need not be devoted to one
object to be Of utility. Two charitable socie-
ties cannot possibly conflict, if truly devoted
to the interests of suffering humanity, and
actuated by no other motive than sincerity
to relieve distress. By maintaining sepe-
rate organizations the Societies can more
effectually assist all, and avoid partially.
We do not descent from the views Of cur
friends of the Soldiers Aid Society, nor
object to their devotion to the brave defen-
ders of our liberties; yet while acknowledge
ing the justice of their cause, we cannot be
ignorant of the fact that there is call for
assistance from the suffering ones in our
midst. There are families without the
necessities oflife, who appeal to our sympa-
thies, in tones to which we cannot turn
deaf ear. Hoping have not trespassed on
your time, | conclude.
