Oct 22nd 1863 His Exc Gov. Yates, Dear Sir: Pardon the liberty I take in trespassing upon your valuable time. But I am sure your kind and patriotic heart will excuse in a case like this. A friend, in this place, has a brother, belonging to the "Waterhouse Battery", of your state, who has been very sick for some time past, and is now confined in the Hospital at Madison of this state. A younger brother, in the same battery, died a few weeks since in St. Louis or some other place in Mo. The <hr /> friends desire a furlough for the sick man, that he may go home to revive his health. His parents live in Michigan and are old and infirm. The loss of one son and the sickness of this one, have very much broken them. The young man has been in the company from its formation and was through all the Engagements before Vicksburg. He does not desire to be discharged; but to have time enough at home to get well. If you can do any thing in this case, it will be most gratefully received. We do not know what other course to pursue to accomplish this end, or we would not trouble you, pressed, as we know, with so many cases. <hr /> The young man is Wm. D. Mershon, corporal in the Watterhouse Battery of Chicago. We do not know where the Battery is, but, as before state, Mr. Mershon is now in Madison, Ind. - Personally I have no interest in the case more than others who love our country and sympathize with those who are suffering or whose friends are in trouble. I am happy to believe that I address one whose heart is right in this great struggle and who delights to do what he can for our brave soldiers.

Springfield Ills Oct 10 1863. Hon E M Stanton Secty of War Sir Representing the State government and loyal Union men of Illinois, we desire urgently to call your attention to the importance and necessity of being supplied with arms and accoutrements with which to enable loyal military organizations to protect social order and to aid the State and National Government in inforcing such laws and regulations as are necessary for to preserve public tranquility and maintain the armies of the Government in the field. It cannot be too strongly impressed upon the National Administration that combinations have been forming and well digested plans matured by the enemies of the Government in Illinois looking to open actual rebellion against the measures and constituted authorities of the Government---State and National. The presence of <hr /> implements of War in the hands of loyal Military Organizations under the control of the State Authorities will tend to discourage and intimidate bands of disloyalists---now armed and drilling---and to restore the confidence not felt by the loyal people of the State because of the absence of disposition or ability heretofore manifested by the War Department to send arms to Illinois. While Indiana and Ohio have received an abundant supply There is herewith transmitted a resolution adopted by the State Executive Committee of the Union League of America for Illinois, by which it may be inferred that the dangers which menace the State are receiving the active attention of the people, and that they demand action of the only legitimate source from which it can be expected In accordance with said resolution it is respectfully requested that authority issue and that the Government provide for the organization and employment within the State, of four regiments of Infantry and one of Cavalry for three years unless sooner discharged. It is however submitted that the organization is not <hr /> deemed absolutely necessary, if the loyal Militia organizations can be supplied with arms &c. The hesitation heretofore manifested by the Government to arm Militia Organizations is the reason for requesting the employment of Government troops. We wish you may find it practicable to send arms immediately. Very Respectfully Rich. Yates (signed) Geo. H. Harlow P.S. Oct 14th 1863 Since writing the above the undersigned members of the State Executive Committee of the USA in Illinois and representing the feelings of one hundred and twenty five thousand members of the League and those of all the loyal men in Illinois, have ascertained that 10,000 arms have been secured by His Excellency Governor Yates whose efforts in that behalf with the Department for months past have met the hearty concurrance of all the loyal people of this State.

Springfield Ills Oct 10 1863. Hon E M Stanton Secty of War Sir Representing the State government and loyal Union men of Illinois, we desire urgently to call your attention to the importance and necessity of being supplied with arms and accoutrements with which to enable loyal military organizations to protect social order and to aid the State and National Government in inforcing such laws and regulations as are necessary for to preserve public tranquility and maintain the armies of the Government in the field. It cannot be too strongly impressed upon the National Administration that combinations have been forming and well digested plans matured by the enemies of the Government in Illinois looking to open actual rebellion against the measures and constituted authorities of the Government---State and National. The presence of <hr /> implements of War in the hands of loyal Military Organizations under the control of the State Authorities will tend to discourage and intimidate bands of disloyalists---now armed and drilling---and to restore the confidence not felt by the loyal people of the State because of the absence of disposition or ability heretofore manifested by the War Department to send arms to Illinois. While Indiana and Ohio have received an abundant supply There is herewith transmitted a resolution adopted by the State Executive Committee of the Union League of America for Illinois, by which it may be inferred that the dangers which menace the State are receiving the active attention of the people, and that they demand action of the only legitimate source from which it can be expected In accordance with said resolution it is respectfully requested that authority issue and that the Government provide for the organization and employment within the State, of four regiments of Infantry and one of Cavalry for three years unless sooner discharged. It is however submitted that the organization is not <hr /> deemed absolutely necessary, if the loyal Militia organizations can be supplied with arms &c. The hesitation heretofore manifested by the Government to arm Militia Organizations is the reason for requesting the employment of Government troops. We wish you may find it practicable to send arms immediately. Very Respectfully Rich. Yates (signed) Geo. H. Harlow P.S. Oct 14th 1863 Since writing the above the undersigned members of the State Executive Committee of the USA in Illinois and representing the feelings of one hundred and twenty five thousand members of the League and those of all the loyal men in Illinois, have ascertained that 10,000 arms have been secured by His Excellency Governor Yates whose efforts in that behalf with the Department for months past have met the hearty concurrance of all the loyal people of this State. We are thankful for the action taken by the Department, but insist that 10000 stand of arms are insufficient to accomplish the purposes actually required to stay the tide of evil which treason openly proclaimed is spreading through <hr /> the State. The disturbed condition of Missouri and the excitement attended upon the fall elections in other Western States embarrasses and seriously effects Illinois---and we firmly believe that an organization of the entire reliable Militia force of the State is absolutely imperative. If the Government wish more men from Illinois, (and no man beyond the limits of Washington doubts but that she will have yet to supply thousands,) would not an organized and drilled Militia force be of infinite advantage! Without Militia drilled and organized You will find the North Western States when you call for reinforcement---in a state of civil strife Very Respectfully <hr /> Gov Yates 1863 To E M Stanton secy of War Urgently requests the Secy to send arms for the loyal Militia of Illinois or Else authorize 3 Regiments to be raised for Service in the State--- Infantry and 1 of Cavalry---Thinks these would not sufficient to insure against the outbreaks threatened by traitors within the State acknowledges the receipt of 10000 stand of arms and says more will be needed---suggests the advantage to the Genl Government of having the Militia armed and drilled.

Peoria Illinois Oct 1st 1863. Hon Richard Yates Springfield Ills. My Dear Sir. I suppose you have already been informed of the resignation of Judge Merriman of this Circuit; and of the consequent vacancy existing here. We have as yet received no official information, as to the time when an election to fill the vacancy will be held: and at the suggestion of your good friends Johnson Powell and others, I write to ask you whether there would be any impropriety in calling the election to fill the vacancy at a different time than that of the general election in November. The Election would then be comparatively free from the usual excitements of a political canvas - and give the friends of the Union a fairer chance to secure the election of <hr /> their candidate for Judge - We have had an imbecile Copperhead on the Bench quite too long to suit our loyal hearts, and we all feel that if you will only call the Special Election after the General Election you will very materially help us to a better and different result. Yours Very Truly John I Weed <hr /> Ansd Oct 15 File. Weed John I. Peoria October 1st 1863.

State of Oregon Executive Department Salem, Sept 24, 1863 Sir- Whether the rebellion is crushed very soon or not, an important Presidential election will soon have to be held. Allow me therefore to respectfully suggest that the next National Convention convened for the nomination of President and Vice President be called as a "Union Convention" and that the nominees be called "Union" candidates. Among the reasons which prompt me to make this recommendation are- 1st Before the Presidential election the voters of Oregon have to elect a Legislative Assembly, Member of Congress, State Printer and three Judges of the Supreme Court. That Legislature has to elect one U.S. Senator for six years. 2d Our General election is held in June 1864. <hr /> Before that time the National Convention will have been held and the result of the same will be known long before our election. 3d The so called democratic party in this State will adopt a Douglas war platform. All secessionists will go with it and the leaders will try to take along with them the Douglas men of the State who hold the balance of power. 4th. If the Presidential Convention is called as Republican and candidates are seen as such, thousands of Douglas democrats in this State and California will go with the secession democracy and endanger the State and electoral tickets. 5th. The candidates in this State will be nominated by a Union Convention and seen as Union men. Unless these suggestions are heeded, in my opinion there will be great danger of a copperhead triumph on this coast and the election of a U.S. <hr /> Senator of that stripe. And we may learn too late that there is something in a name. Should these suggestions meet your views, I hope you will co-operate with other loyal Governors to accomplish what seems to me this very desirable object. Hoping to hear from you soon.

State of Illinois Executive Department. Springfield Sept 23rd 1863. Mr D. B. James. Chairman of Committee Dear Sir. Your favor of the 20th, inviting me to be present at the "Union May Meeting," to be held in De Kalb, on the first of Oct, next is just received. I have accepted an invitation to speak in Dayton O. on that day. I regret that I shall be unable to attend. Were it possible to do so, nothing would give me greater satisfaction than to meet with my friends of De-Kalb, & to add my feeble voice in behalf of that Union which we love so well. No man, feels the value & necessity of these meetings more than I. The condition of our <hr /> State is one of extreme perils. A desperate attempt is being made to break the phallanx of the Union Party by raising false issues, such as that of opposition to the Emancipation Proclamation, opposition to the suspension of Habeas Corpus, & opposition to every stringent measure of the Government; as an act of usurpation; & so to break up the Government itself. The people of Illinois must oppose these Sophists as they would oppose our more deadly enemy. For if successful they are likely to our most fatal antagonists. People of De Kalb, prove faithful to your high trust as citizens of the United States. Know no cause but that of your country. Let her friends of whatever party be your friends, & her enemies under whatever disguise your enemies. I have much more which I would like <hr /> to add, but could give no better counsel than that. All that I could say would culminate in that. Let us be of good cheer. Notwithstanding the recent gloomy tidings, I am persuaded that a glorious destiny is in store for our country. It is a sublime proof of the justice of our cause & the heroic ardor of our soldiers, that through defeated disasters that, singly, would destroy almost any power, the collumns of the Union are evermore making their way Gulf Ward. It remains to us who stay at home, to teach the traitors of Illinois that she can send a hundred thousand men into the field & yet retain enough to crush domestic treason.

Dixon, Ilinois Sep 11th 1863 Gov Gates, Dr Sir: I have in contemplation in connection with the Union central committees of Ogle, Carroll and Whiteside Counties arranging for a Union Mass Meeting to be held at Dixon (a central railroad point) on or about the 15th or 17th of October next. All we want to know, to make it one of the largest meetings ever held in this far (famed?) Rock River Valley, is to have the privilege of announcing positively you as a speaker on that occasion. You have never since the memorabale campaign of 1860 spoken in this section. Let me assure you, right through this "neck of the woods", you can count your friends and unflinching support from the children up, and we desire above all things to hear you once more for the cause of the Union and universal freedom. Hoping yo hear from you soon and favorably. I am, very truly yours, J. L. Carufs. D. Status The current transcription status of a document or a page.
