With angels bright, and loved ones gone before
In their Bedeemers presence, cvermore-


And God Himself their Lord, and Judge and King
And this we call loss, selfish sorrow


or selfish hearts o We Of little faith
Let US look round some argument 70 borrow
Why We Ia patience should await the morrow


That surely must succeed this night Of death
Aye, look upon this drcary desert path,


The thorns and thistles wheresoe er we turn,
What trials and what tears, what wrongs and wrath
What struggles and What strife the journey hath


They have escaped from these; and 10, We mourn

VINO vi his treasures strOve the shore % reach
While with tho raging waves be battled On,
Was it not JOY, when every JOY seemed gone,


To see his loved ones landed on the beach
A poor wsyfarer, leading by the nand


A little child. had halted by the well
To wash from OF uer feet ths cngilg sand.
And tell the tired boy OF that bright land


Where this long Journey past, they longed to dwell

President Lincoln is the soldiers friend,
and the man who speaks i'll OF him insults
the soldiers as a body. We know him to
be a true Union man. and an honest. up
right, thorOugh-going man. You must not
try to cram such slang down my throat or
any ones in the regiment. We look on
men who advance such sentiments as being
worse rebels than those who are in arms in
the field, fighting us every day.


talk plainly and just as l feel and it is
the feeling ofall who have come out to sub
due this wicked and cu.sed rebellion. We
sacrificed the comforts of home and 1ireside
and run the risk of our lives 10 re-eStablish
this glorious Union, and the best govern

to look back and see and know how many
are left at home to aid the enemy in run
ming down the Administration, Yes, many

words and deeds. You can stay at home
and find fault and say Lincoln is prolOng-
inc the war; but there is no danger OF you
or any Of your stamp. shOuldering your mus
ket and coming to the conflict.


You think more of Fremont now than YOU
did two or three years ago You then des-
pissed Fremont and all of his Abolition
friends. You could have shot an Abolition
ist three years ago; but now. when your
party is about deiunct. you can turn round
and support any sort OF thing 10 aid the
rebels.


We don't want a man for our leader who
is supported by our enemies, and we won't
have him. Fremont has killed himself
His old friends in the army have all LETT hiIl.
He is the COpperhead's man now. So put
in your mite-it will be your last struggle


l read your letter 10 all your old friends
here; and, if you had just stepped into our
camp, methinks you would have had free
dance on tip-IOe, or a short ride down the
cliffs OF the mountain.


There are men in the army who are as
smart as Lincoln, doubtless: but there are
no COpperheads in the North VINO know
enough TO be worthy of being Lincoln's
walters or servants. l am a Union man.
There are but two parties. He that is not
for the Union. is against it. He that goes
for change in the Administration goes for
prOlOnging the war. Deny it if you can.
The war Is being pushed on with the utmost
vigOr, and everything Is going on well.


Well. think (as you did about Lincoln. J

This motive was one which, as soon

prodigious force that it swept the Brit

And was it any worse for them to up

do it? We had stood the abuse and

And now as 10 the change which has
come over the British nation in regard
to our affairs. Let US not misunder-
stand the cause Of it. Doubtless the
British Government was moved to stop
the rams by the fear of a war with US,
which, even with our difficulties at
home, they did not care to undertake.
But the thing which has moved upon
the English mind, and set them to
hedging the future. is the fact that the
rebellion is being put doon. Even war
with England would not change that.
And this consideration is one which
avails with all classes. And so nobil-
ity, tradesmen and manufacturers may
as we'll keep friends with us, as far as
they can. Even Mr. Beecher's effort,
so far as it availed, did so mainly by his
use of this fact. He showed them that
we meant to queuch the rebellion +; that
we felt ourselves able TO do it that we
were actually doing it, and should COM

nation which, though relished by John
Bull as cats are said to relish warm soap,
was extremely useful to him in helping

But that be feels good in his mind to-

Nevertheless, the commercial and man
ufacturing enmity will doubtless soon
recover, seeing the chance which was to
crafty its selishness is gone. When
Liverpool sees that she cannot make any
money out Of our dismemberment, she
will love us as well as of old


But the enmity of the aristocracy
will never die Al least while we are a
democratic nation. And we need not,
and shall not, forget either the existence
of this enmity, nor the ground OF it.
We now know it. The war has reveal.
ed it, and shown its measurement. And
when this war is over, there will be
reaction which will plague the undying
enemies OF this nation. Their enmity
will be sure to re act upon themselves.
