tary Deparfment-The ISLANDERS
ofNa Radical Sheet.
The famed order of General GRANT.
bearing date December II, 1862, expelliug
the "Jews, as class" from the Military
Department commanded by him, has given
much trouble to his supporters. The deep
insult to that class of our citizens, whose
boast it is that fewer of their religion than
that of any other commit crimes which the
law Furnishes. that the jais of the, country
and the penitentiaries report no Jews as
having abiding places there, and that since
the discovery of America not single Jew
has been executed for capital offense, tht
Radicals fear will decrease their vote at tn,
Presidential election. A portion of tn,
press in support of GRANT and CoLFAx
deny in set terms that any such an orde
was issued by. ."order of Major Genera
GRANT," while others, less reckless bu
equally false in their assertions, deny tina
the order was intended for any but tn,
baser sort of that class of men who, amit
the most intolerable persecution from
bigots in every age, still preach and prac
tise the faith of their fathers. The Chicdg
Tribune is of shis class, when it says:
"The order never harmed any one, no
interfered with any mans rights or bust
ness, except of few persons of the base
sort found proving about his lines sellin;
whisky to his soldiers and carrying on
contraband trade with the enemy.o
That sheet rs ,erts that instead of "Orde
No. H." alternating the sJews as a class,
from the support of the General who, ii
command of the "Ee oartment of Tennes
see,' drove them, with but 'stwenty-fou
hours" notice, from his military depart
ment, it has made them his friends. 1t say
That the better class of Jews have no
been imposed upon by Copperhead clamo
about the order is evinced in this city b,
the fact that three out OF every four of TIN
intelligent men of that race are supportin.
Grant for President-not coldly, bn
heartily and earnestly. The head of, tn,
great Tanner organization in this city is
Jew. In one of the Tanner companies OF
the South Side there are forty five Jews, il
another thirty-six, and in the whole or
ganization no less than six hundred Jew
voters. But this is not all. It is known tha
fully one hundred of the Jew Tanners wer
Democrats previous to the nomination o
Seymour and Blair, but as conservative
peace-loving men they find it utterly i'm
possible to support the incendiary, danger
GUS and revolutionary programme lait
down by the rebels and Copperheads at tn,
New York Convention" q. n
If the above is true, which, by-the-by, i
is not, it would show that the Jews hay,
more of the christian precept of rendering
good for evil, and by turning the lef
cheek when smote upon the right, than il
practised by the best christian among US.
The order of General GRANT is as fol-
lows: -.+'5

.By order Of Major General Grant,
Immediately on the receipt of this orde
at Washington, GEORGE FL. PENDLEToN
then member of Congress. denounced i
as not only unjust but insulting, and of
tered resolution for its abrogation. Ii
the Senate the same day, Senator POWELL
of Kentucky, offered similar resolution
but before action was taken on either, thil
''Order No. IL" of General GRANT was re-
ivoked by order of the President.
In the Order, as published, there is mucf
of low and petty spite and malignity
with the lowest cunning. The "Jews as {
class.'-mixing up the good and the bad
are, by "order of Major General GRANT
expelled from the Department withir
twenty-four hours" after the receipt OF tht
Order by "Post Commanders" The only
exception to the rule that all must be driv
en- forth-men, women and children, the
guilty and the innocent-and seek new
homes outside the line of Gen. GRANTi
command, is made in favor OF those whit
are Furnished with permission" to remai1
from Gen. GRANTS headquarters, But, al
if to add to the deep infamy, the sam,
order commands that ''No PASSES WILL Bl
GIVEN TO THIS PEOPLE TO VISIT HEADQUAR
TERs,n where alone the permission to re-
main can be obtained, s'FoR THE PURPOSE
OF MAKING PERSONAL APPLICATION Fol
TRADE PERMITS" which alone would pre-
vent them from being elected from thei
homes.
In all the persecution of the Jewish race
and history gives evidence that they have
been more prosecuted by so-called Chris
tians and by other religious denomination
than any other and all other sects combin
ed, we find none more base, malignant ant
uncalled-for, when the enlightened age il
which we live, and the laws which give t,
all sects equal rights are considered, thai
this same "Order No. H." issued by orde
of 'Major General GRANT" driving tn
"Jews as class" houseless, homeless iron
bis military district. ~.
If, ''as a class" these men support Ger
GRANT, as the Chicago Tribune says the
will. and which we know they will moi
verify, in their subserviency, they vii
shame the spaniel that licks the hand tina
smote him.
