For our own part we do not attach

A Mad scheme of War.

I'd in Democratic quarters that II the
Republicans should succeed in carrying
the fall elections, there would be an st.
tempt made to inaugurate civil war 8
second time in the country, with view
to a separation Of the sections entertain.
ing different political views and some OF
the more reckless OF the Democratic
Journals, the Day Book, the Freeman's
Journal La Crosse Democrat and kindred
prO-rebel prints have openly urged the
President to attempt military usurpa-
ton in case Congress placed him At the
bar of the impeachment tribunal. II Is
well known that the rebels of Maryland
have had such s scheme in prospect fJr
some time past, and that 10 this end
Gov. Swami has organized the militia OF
the State, ARMED it and fficered 1t by
late Confederate soldiers, while many OF
the ex-rebel newspapers have been fool
ing their blind adherents by impressing
upon their minds that there was still
hope for the lest cause" and that they
would again have an opportunity to "die
in the last ditch" In its defense. But
the most definite development in this fi.
rection is made by Gen. hIcClurg, n.em-
Der of Congress from Missouri, whe
sends to the ST. Louis Democrat letter

marked private" but he, from sense
of duty, handed it to the Judge OF Pro-
bate tr the county, Mr.. Thomas Shelby,
by whom il was forwarded to Gen. Nc
Clurg, and through him made public.
Here is copy OF the letter:
WAvERLY, Mo-, Sept. a, 1867.
DEAR FRIEND Yours OF the 9TH Of
this month has just been received.
T.
had lengthy conversation with
Gen. Shelby few days since. AS con-
cerning the future, he thought the time
was close at hand when we would have
all our past troubles to contend with
again, but 1t would be on different
scale to some extent. And better proof
than all, the General received a private
letter from Gen. f. p. Blair, warning
him TO be in readiness, for that war is
undoubtedly to be and was near at hand.
And care not how soon myself; II
others can bear it, may be | can. Ihope
the people will have their eyes open a
little more than they did in the other
war. They may war as much as they
please, don't expect to take part. In the
affair. I will try to live and let others
do IS they may. d 4s.e E-f%
