Hickory Ills Aug. 24 1861 Governor. Dear Sir, I would ask a moment of your precious time that you may know what is going on in this corner of Egypt. we have among us here. lots and scores of rebelious traitorous Southern synapathisers, (the news to the contrary not withstanding) Traitors, Rebels, counterfirtors & hog [Shines?], are organizing and leading scores and hundreds of good and honest citizens, in to treason and rebelion. I think that the head quarters of this movement is in Jefferson County Thy call themselves Peace men the middle party and so on <hr /> I am creditably informed that thy are organizing lodges of the famous organization, known as the Knights of the Golden Circle. now I think that it is probable that you sir, know more of this movement than I do and also of its remedy if it needs one. all that I positively know is that there is an organization, that they are threatning union men generally and Republicans in particular. that they are now threatning, predicting and prophesying the downfall of the United States Government I do believe that the devil is at the bottom of the matter and that these very men in their hearts intend mischief I am informed that a majority <hr /> of the men in Jefferson County have gone in to this plot, it has extended its poison into Hamilton, Wayne & Marion and God knows where else Now Sir I do believe this matter needs a remedy, and that, the remedy will soon have to be applied. Should you find it necessary to meet this movement with an armed force, and should you determine to call out a home guard in this region I myself, sir am at your service. I should to day be in the United States army, but for the care of a helpless family. for further information I refer you to Thomas M.

Knoxville June 4 1861 My Dr Governor The Press, I notice, is busy with the question who is to be the Successor of Senator Douglas? Here, as elsewhere, that question has been a good deal discussed. Our Circuit Court is in session and in conversation with a good many of our Citizens I find that all would be highly gratified by the appointment of Hon O. H. Browning. Having been intimately acquainted with him for twenty five years, and seen his intellectual resources tested under trying circumstances, I <hr /> am satisfied that the government could not in its present emergency have an abler adviser than Mr. Browning. As Whig & Republican he has done, at least on this side of the State, more effective service in the cause of the Country, than any man I can name. In connection with the place I see the names of good Anti-Nebraska Democrats suggested It seems to me that that branch of the Republican party is sufficiently represented by Judge Trumbull, and that the old Whig branch of the party have a right to be heard. I see that the Chicago Tribune takes the ground that a Doug <hr /> las Democrat should be his Successor. Now without stopping to discuss the policy of such a measure (which I cannot admit) it is enough for me that I cannot think of a man of that School who will compare in ability with Browning or Davis, or Palmer or several others I could name. I beg you will not Regard me as obtruding gratuitous advice in this matter. I am aware of the delicacy of the duty you have to perform, and I write more to advise you of the feeling in this Section, than to volunteer advice - Very Sincerely Your friend J.

Knoxville June 4 1861 My Dr Governor The Press, I notice, is busy with the question who is to be the Successor of Senator Douglas? Here, as elsewhere, that question has been a good deal discussed. Our Circuit Court is in session and in conversation with a good many of our Citizens I find that all would be highly gratified by the appointment of Hon O. H. Browning. Having been intimately acquainted with him for twenty five years, and seen his intellectual resources tested under trying circumstances, I <hr /> am satisfied that the government could not in its present emergency have an abler adviser than Mr. Browning. As Whig & Republican he has done, at least on this side of the State, more effective service in the cause of the Country, than any man I can name. In connection with the place I see the names of good Anti-Nebraska Democrats suggested It seems to me that that branch of the Republican party is sufficiently represented by Judge Trumbull, and that the old Whig branch of the party have a right to be heard. I see that the Chicago Tribune takes the ground that a Doug <hr /> las Democrat should be his Successor. Now without stopping to discuss the policy of such a measure (which I cannot admit) it is enough for me that I cannot think of a man of that School who will compare in ability with Browning or Davis, or Palmer or several others I could name. I beg you will not Regard me as obtruding gratuitous advice in this matter. I am aware of the delicacy of the duty you have to perform, and I write more to advise you of the feeling in this Section, than to volunteer advice - Very Sincerely Your friend J.

Office of Commissary of Subsistence, Portsmouth, Va., August 16, 1864. Dear Yates I would very much like to be in Illinois during the month of October and up to the day of election. I believe that I could be of some service to our friends politically. If, therefore, you think it advisable it can be affected through you and Dick Oglesby, our candidate for Governor. All that is necessary is for you to make the request in the right quarter. If Genl Butler remains in command of this Department, perhaps, a letter from you to him is all that would be necessary, in fact, I am quite sure that your request would be granted with pleasure. I saw Mr. Arnold just before the close of the late session and he remarked that "I must be sure to be home during the coming canvass." I told him that it were impossible for me to leave without authority. he replied "that you could have it arranged without doubt". Of course, Stanton is all powerful in such matters, but, I think his sun is going down, at all events, it seems to be under a cloud. <hr /> Dick, you must be our next Senator, and must have old Morgan with you, and we all know that, it will require the hardest kind of work to redeem her from the thraldom of the "Copper heads", and to assist in this work would be a great pleasure to me, besides, serving friends whom I shall ever hold dear to memory. As for our old friend "Uncle Abe", I fear that he is loosing ground, the tendency of public sentiment is evidently drifting that way, and unless the current is very quickly checked the result will be disastrous. I hope I am mistaken in the signs of the times, I am well satisfied that, Lincoln is in the hands, or rather, he listens, confers, and in a great measure, conforms to the opinions and suggestions of men, more because of their positions than for their good sense. yet, he may not be to blame, for to do otherwise, would be the exception to the almost universal rule of action with men in high positions. But, in my humble judgment, it is the hidden rock upon which so many have been politically wrecked, and to avoid a fate similar he should tack ship, and stear by other charts! <hr /> My kind regards to Mrs. Yates---also to my good friend Judge Berdan & family---not forgetting [Mart?] Cassele. I should be glad to have an answer to this letter with your opinion as to the proposition of my returning home for the time named. It may be that, Lincoln himself would aid in the matter? However, that is for you to decide. I must confess that my faith is a little shaky in that quarter---more especially, since he places in the hands of little popinjays and self conceited fancy boys,---questions of political diplomacy that should require the ablest engineering---by men full grown at least.
