DALLAS TEX. Dec. &c, 1867.
Editor Dallas HeraM,-D Dear Sir The
following note was received by me, through
the Post Office last evening. 1t appears to
have eminated from an organization in our
midst known rs the "Loyal League" why
this Constitution" or any member Of it
should have thought fit to extend TO me
such warning, am at loss to com pre-
bend, know nothing of Petition to Gen.
Hancock advising the removal of the
Bureau Agent at this place, but say now
as have said heretofore, that when ever an
Agent of the Government departs from n
strict course of duty or assumes unmarrdnt-
ed authority, I shall be ready and shall deem
it my duty to do what can to have him re-
moved, regardless of the warnings" or
threats of "Loyal Leagues or any similar
institutions. feel that have the good of
the whole country at heart and shall con-
tinue as heretofore to use what influence |
may have in promoting peace and harmony
among all classes in our midst and through
out the whole country. | send you the
above, Mr.. Editor and ask you to give it to
the Public. If we have in our midst n Sc.
cret organization having for its purpose
the objects Swallowed forth in this docu.
ment, it is time that we should all know it.
Respectfully, sc.
JEFFERSON PEAK.
DALLAS TEX. Dec. oath 1867.
Mr. PEAR,-Dedr Sir Captain Horton
knows all about you and your click talking
about getting up petition to General Han
cock 10 have him removed, you had better
look sharp or you may be removed without
a petition, you don't seem to know when you
are we'll of.
UNION LEAGUE.
The above card appeared in the last is
sue of the Dallas Herald, and in view Of
the unhappy state of public feeling, feel
il my duty, both TO the Loyal League, and
public at large, to say; that the, note adj
dressed to Mr.. Peak, and signed Union
League, was written by some one unknow n
TO the order. ard without any authority,
consent or connivance of the League what
ever and can but regret that any one
would so far forget his obligations TO So
ciety, as TO issue an incendiary document,
from which no good could be expected, and
result only in exasperating the party TO
whom it was addressed and considering
the excited and unsettled condition Of the
public mind at this time, threatening TO 60
into extremes, that would not only involve
individuals. but whole societies, | must say
that Capt. Peak in his card, did not exhib
il hisusual forbcara &c, good Judgment and
discretion. To illustrate; suppose that J.,
TO CRAFTY some private malice, should adj
dress a threatening note TO some individ-
uai and sign il FREE MAsoNs; now ask in
all eandor. would il be right 10 even sus

with the consent Of the order of Free Ma

Il should be the great aim Of every man
TO reconcile, rather than irritate over ami

should he frowned down, and every actor
should look 10 the restoration of peace and

whatever. Every man has right to think
