Few men, if any, stood higher in the armv
or come out ofthc war with i more enviablt
reputation for galantry and patriotic deyo
ton to the objects for which the war was
professedly prosecuted, than Major General
John J. Peck, of this state. He is still labor
ing for the restoration Of the union and the
preservation Of the rights and liberties of the
poplc under the constitutions In letter
Just written tOa meeting Of Union White
Boys in Blue" in Indiana. Gen. Peck says:
The Freedmen's Bureau was cunningly
devised machine for increaing the white
mans taxes, swelling tie hordcs nf office
holders, and securing negro centrol at the
south. Tire lives and property of the people
have in nlfny instances, been at the mercy
Of men-satrsps. devoil OF The qualifications

and radicals an army of their own, in addition

sounds like Imperialism, and looks like N
Austrian order for keeping down bel
people No human intellect can portray
the horrors and wrongs of Poland and Hun
gra, and they are but faint types of our own
Poland and Hungary. a war of races seems
inevitable from this radical campaign against
white civil ltion, ami Unless all conservative
patri otto and good citizens unite together in
this crisis, there nav. he an Africa and
desert of Sahara within our own border.
No good can come from that party which
studiously and purposely having no respect
or vcneratan for either, avoided allrefcrence
To the constitution and all ailusion to the
rundame entail law of the land in their platform
adopted at Chicago.
Heretofore all parties have claimed to
stand upon the constitution. and no one has
dared to ask the support of the people with
out the tulit st and strongest recognition oil
its sacred principles. This action is in entire
harmony with the treatment OF the Rev

laughed at, ridculcd and denounced, and have

Emmons. Fred had been indicted
for some violation Of law, but, in
one way and another, had managed
to have his trial postponed. Tired
Of evasions, the Rec order, when the

designated, and secured the servi-
