Fairbury Livingston Co Ill July 17 1862 Governor Yates - Dear Sir - As one of the people I take the liberty to thank you for your patriotic address to the President. Unless our rulers are aroused to put forth all the power of the nation at once we are ruined as a nation forever. Mr. Lincoln is a great & good man, but he does not seem to comprehend the awful crisis that is upon the nation. The plain fact is she is even now trembling in the balance between life & death. Yet not one half her powers have been brought into the contest. Mr Lincoln should raise two men where is raising one, and he could & should make ten gun boats where they are now making one. They alone could save us from foreign intervention. But enough of this. Would not a letter from you to some leading man or men in each County, calling upon them as patriots to get the people aroused by public meetings &c have a good influence. It will require some extra exertion for Illinois to raise her quota of the 30000 without drafting. Yet it can be done, and you can do it. Let Illinois keep her present proud position in this contest. But I do not write to advise you on matters that you comprehend better than I,---but to inquire if I could get a Majors commission. I have no military experience. But think that after one month I could satisfy all. And if assured a place that could support my large family, so that I could devote the time, I could do as much as anyone in raising troops in this County. And if any attention is paid to localities the County is entitled to something of <hr /> of the kind for I believe she has nothing higher than a captaincy though she has raised over 500 men. But if the way is not clear for the above, what would you think, of a brigade quartermaster or commissary. Owing to the conditions of my family and financial affairs, I had not felt called upon to enter personally into the service, but it is now different. And if you think I could be of any use anywhere please let me hear from you soon Yours Truly A. J. Cropsey <hr /> Ans.

Chicago July 17 1862 My Dear Governor, The idea of a special session is I suppose abandoned. While I regret this for several reasons yet I think it is sound policy. After the settlement made by you with the U.S. and the act allowing our fourteenth member of Congress to be elected by general ticket, there were no reasons which could have been assigned for calling a special session which would have been satisfactory to the people. If a special session had been called our party would have been divided on <hr /> the question of its necessity and expediency. The Chicago Tribune would have bitterly denounced it. This I state from personal knowledge of their intentions. It might have furnished our political enemies with arguments to use against us at the Nov election. They would have claimed that a special session was wholly unnecessary, that it was called exclusively for political purposes, and that a large expense had been incurred unnecessarily &c. Now for the future. A favorite motto with me (whether it is a good or bad one I will not say) is, "All is not lost that is delayed." <hr /> Both branches of the next Legislature must be secured at the Nov Election, and a majority of the republican members must be "Yates Men" when they are elected. All members of the present Legislature who are favorable to your Election to the senate must be induced to become candidates for reelection. This may not be practicable in every instance but generally can be accomplished with a little maneuvering. Plans must be devised by which your friends shall be candidates in all republican districts. You have warm friends <hr /> in each of those districts. They must be posted up in this matter and can bring about the desired result. A little work in this direction before election may save a good deal of labor & trouble after election. The first great object, however is to secure a republican majority in each branch. This in my opinion will be the most difficult task of all. Plans are now being secretly concocted in some of the northern counties for another union movement by which the democracy hope to carry the Legislature. They intend to sacrifice every thing to that one end. They will sell <hr /> Treas. Supt of Schools county officers & Congressmen for members of the Legislature. The democrats will select some leading republican in a republican district & promise him a nomination for Congress on condition that he will go into a union movement & use his influence to secure the election of a democratic rep or senator in his county. I have strong reasons for believing that a plan of this kind is thought of in our congressional & senatorial districts. Church will be <hr /> the candidate for congress & Wm M Jackson for the senate. I have not time or space to give you my reasons for this belief. This matters so far as Church & Jackson are concerned I desire to be strictly confidential. I may be mistaken & I do not want to do injustice to either of them. We can defeat this movement in our district, but if it is attempted with us it will be elsewhere & the matter must be closely watched. A friend at Washington advises me that Peck (who is now at Washington) as acting <hr /> chairman of state com. will not call or unite in a call for a straight republican convention. He favors some kind of a mongrel concern. Church (LS) is not in favor of a union convention but insists that the call shall be so broad that all war democrats can come in. This plan might be well enough if the war democrats will join us in good faith but if they only want to get control of the Legislature I will see them d--d before I will even ask them to come in. I have no confidence in them & will not trust them. In my opinion we had better take a straight <hr /> forward course make party nominations & stand by them. If the war democrats join us in any numbers either through a union call or through a plank held out to them [unclear] call they will want a portion of the offices & will not be overmodest in their demands. Dissensions will arise between us and them & even in our own party and the ultimate result will be disastrous to us as it was last fall. We can carry the state and the Legislature by a strict party vote. Let us then be content with and adopt that policy. Your letter to the Prest & your proclamation meets with the hearty commendation of all except semi-secessionists. I hope to see you personally soon. Very truly yours E. Peyre Ferry <hr /> Hon. E. P.

Plans are now being secretly concocted in some of the northern counties for another union movement by which the democracy hope to carry the Legislature. They intend to sacrifice every thing to that one end. They will sell <hr /> Treas. Supt of Schools county officers & Congressmen for members of the Legislature. The democrats will select some leading republican in a republican district & promise him a nomination for Congress on condition that he will go into a union movement & use his influence to secure the election of a democratic rep or senator in his county. I have strong reasons for believing that a plan of this kind is thought of in our congressional & senatorial districts. Church will be <hr /> the candidate for congress & Wm M Jackson for the senate. I have not time or space to give you my reasons for this belief. This matters so far as Church & Jackson are concerned I desire to be strictly confidential. I may be mistaken & I do not want to do injustice to either of them. We can defeat this movement in our district, but if it is attempted with us it will be elsewhere & the matter must be closely watched. A friend at Washington advises me that Peck (who is now at Washington) as acting <hr /> chairman of state com. will not call or unite in a call for a straight republican convention. He favors some kind of a mongrel concern. Church (LS) is not in favor of a union convention but insists that the call shall be so broad that all war democrats can come in. This plan might be well enough if the war democrats will join us in good faith but if they only want to get control of the Legislature I will see them d--d before I will even ask them to come in. I have no confidence in them & will not trust them. In my opinion we had better take a straight <hr /> forward course make party nominations & stand by them. If the war democrats join us in any numbers either through a union call or through a plank held out to them [unclear] call they will want a portion of the offices & will not be overmodest in their demands. Dissensions will arise between us and them & even in our own party and the ultimate result will be disastrous to us as it was last fall. We can carry the state and the Legislature by a strict party vote. Let us then be content with and adopt that policy. Your letter to the Prest & your proclamation meets with the hearty commendation of all except semi-secessionists. I hope to see you personally soon. Very truly yours E. Peyre Ferry <hr /> Hon. E. P.

Columbia, Monroe Co. Ill July 18th 1862 Hon. Richard Yates, Gov. of Illinois, Dear Sir your exertions has been so great, and so very effective, since the commencement of the rebellion, in calling the power of the State into action to suppress it; in arming, clothing, and equipping the troops; in your care of the sick and wounded; in furnishing hospitals, nurses, medicine and conveyance, that it will greatly increase your power in raising the quota of the State of the last call for 300,000 men. But one thing lacketh yet, that you have as much power to correct as any one outside the Cabinet. I mean the removal of disloyal and inefficient officers. Men suffering the fatigue of the camp, and the risk of the battle field, for the purpose of suppressing the rebellion, don't like to be commanded by officers whose object is to guard rebels and their property, and many will refuse to enlist while such things are continued. Many of the West-Pointers are of very doubtful loyalty. Even McClelland. There are several strong reasons for suspecting his loyalty or capacity. First, for keeping 150,000 men six or seven months at Washington City, at a cost of about a million of dollars a day, with an enemy of less force than his in sight, when any night he might have bagged ten thousand of them. This delay looked as if he was waiting for and expecting England and France to interfere, or, perhaps, acknowledge <hr /> the independence of the rebels Second, Baker and his thousand companions were sold, I might say murdered by a West Pointer, and the commanding general must have known it. He must have known the orders given to Baker, and why they were given. Third, He called troops from Banks, when he knew, and perhaps intended, that he would be cut up by Jackson's superior force, and even Washington City itself endangered. Fourth, in his plan of descent on Richmond to go by water to Fort Monroe, leave the Potomac blockaded, and take all the troops from Washington only one regiment, seemingly with the design that the rebels might take it. The President, with all his mistaken confidence in McClelland, circumvented that plan. Fifth, when Price was retreating from Lexington. Halleck would have taken him and all his force, had he not been countermanded by superior officers. Sixth, he waited at Richmond until the rebels had time to send to Corinth for Beaurgard and his army, and gather forces from other quarters, all the while sending home word of his certainty of taking Richmond. Seventh, He has always been praised by the enemy with great pretensions of being afraid of him, when the real fear was that he would be removed. Eighth, He has done no act to prove that he is a true patriot or a good general. Therefore, he ought to be removed, and some tried man put in his place. Your very humble servant Stewart McKee <hr /> Stewart McKee Columbia Ills July 18th 62. Thinks that the Governors very great energy, in raising arming, and equipping the soldiers heretofore, and his care for the sick and wounded, will greatly facilitate the enlistments under the recent call, "Yet one thing lacketh" which he thinks Gov Yates has more power to remedy than any man outside the cabinet, which is to effect the removal of disloyal and inefficient officers, and strongly urges that it may be done! ansd Augt. 2 m Status The current transcription status of a document or a page.
