A Remarkable Letter.

We are in receipt of the following
letter from Capt. Hugh Lewis. of Madi-
son, in which he forsakes the Demo-
cratic party and unites his fortunes with
the Republican party. Captain Lewis
is one-armed veteran who fought
valiantly throughout the war, even after
he was crippled, and has always been
up to this time prominent and ex-
ceedingly active and influential worker
in Democratic circles. He now holds a
well-paid position in the veteran mes
senger corps of the national house of
representatives, and it is understood
was recently offered promotion, which
he refused. His motives for change
are evidently, therefore, of patriotic
nature and not emanating from person
al considerations. Capt Lewis is well
liked by the Democratic party leaders
in Wisconsin and might have his pick
of many excellent offices, but his prin
ciples as a Union man have been so
sadly shocked by the copperhead and
confederate tendencies of the Demo-
cratic administration, that he has in
dignantly spurned all offers of advance
ment and come out under the banner
of true progress and reform. 1t is a
brave and manly letter and well de-
serves the wide perusal which it will
command
