                    <text>&lt;p&gt;To the Loyal Citizens of the United States.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;New York, January 28, 1864.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The day is not far distant when you will be called upon to elect an occupant for the Presidential Chair.  This is a most important and momentous question, well worthy of your careful consideration.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;From the 12th of April, 1861, our march onward has been steady and grand.  The heart of the people has been true to the great principles of liberty, which are to be maintained to the END.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In ABRAHAM LINCOLN the loyal people have found a true leader, and an able defender of the great ideas upon which our Government was founded.  He has been tried and not found wanting.  No man in modern times ever came into office under such trying circumstances--none ever worked more diligently to bring discordant elements together and make them move in harmony.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;From the chaos of human passions, dishonest interests, political intrigues, and subtle treason pervading every department of Government, order has been created, and although in the midst of a war of almost unparalleled magnitude, we move on as in times of the most sublime peace.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It is therefore proposed that on the 22d of February, 1864, all citizens of the United States, without regard to party, who are in favor of the re-election of ABRAHAM LINCOLN, shall meet at appropriate places, within their towns, counties, or states, for the purpose of giving public expression of their sentiments upon this most important question.

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;There is a case of very much importance pending in the circuit court of this county which will come on for trial on the 3rd Monday of March next.  I refer to the case of The People &amp;amp;c vs Michael Smith &amp;amp;al for the murder of Chester Carpenter.  Two of the most important witnesses for the prosecution are now in the army towit Cap James H. Wright of Co E 87th Ills Mounted Infantry and Lieutenant Campbell of the 60th Ills Vols.  Every possible effort has heretofore been made to procure the attendance of these two witnesses but without success.  The cause was continued at the last turn of court but with the understanding that an other continuance could not
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;be had, so that if the prosecution fail to have the witnesses in attendance at the next turn of court, these two murders will be turned out on the community without a trial
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Mr C. C. Carpenter (brother of deceased) visits Springfield for the purpose of trying to obtain your influence with the military officers commanding the two officers above named in procureing for them leaves of absence so that they may attend our court as witnesses in this important case  I would be pleased if you could aid Mr Carpenter in this matter, he feels a great deal of interest in the case and in fact the whole community are feeling the importance of having those men properly prosecuted
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Yours Truly

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Superintendent's Office
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Lockport, Jan. 29th 1864.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;To his Excellency
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Gov. Yates.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;A letter has been received from Camp Yates, from a number of the Mercantile Battery (new recruits) complaining of bad treatment while at the camp bearing your name at Springfield.  Some of the men live in this place---one in particular is well used to all the hard fare of campaigning, and they call the treatment &lt;u&gt;'execrable'&lt;/u&gt;   I do not write you thinking &lt;u&gt;you&lt;/u&gt; at fault, but as the soldier considers you his special friend and protector, they express a desire that you may know how they are treated by persons whose duty it is, to look after and care for them and see that the soldier has rations, and everything other thing which he is entitled to.  One letter lying now before me says--- &lt;u&gt;'I have just taken supper, dry bread, no meat and coffee.'&lt;/u&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This is perhaps one of a thousand instances where the men suffer, while the &lt;u&gt;officer&lt;/u&gt; is to be blamed.  Through the friends of these soldiers I am asked to call your attention to this
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;this matter, thinking that if &lt;u&gt;these particular men&lt;/u&gt; do not get the full benefit of your presence in camp by stirring up these officers, some others who are &lt;u&gt;as&lt;/u&gt; deserving of good treatment will.  The writer of this particular letter desired Jno. B. Preston Esqr. of this place (Canal Supt.) to write your Excellency, but Mr. Preston being sick, the friends called upon me.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I am satisfied that a man who has graduated in the U. S. Navy would not complain unless he had ample cause.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;For the sake of the men who propose to go and fight our battles and whip our enemies into obedience to the &lt;u&gt;law&lt;/u&gt; I beg you will see to this matter.   the soldier has got the idea into his head that Gov. Yates is his friend.  I believe so too or I would not trouble with this note.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;For the good treatment of the soldier, if it be a necessity to &lt;u&gt;hang&lt;/u&gt; or &lt;u&gt;dismiss&lt;/u&gt; the guilty officer, why, then &lt;u&gt;do so&lt;/u&gt; at once, and the soldier is the better man for it.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I am Your Obt Servt
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;A. J. Mathewson.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Write letter fully explaining &amp;amp;c
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Letters have been received from Camp Yates complaining of bad treatment.  They do not consider Governor at fault but he desires him to know the condition of affairs as the soldiers look to him (the Governor) as there protector

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Governor Yates;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In reply to your note of this P.M. I would state that the 110th Regiment has been consolidated into four companies. As therefore the regimint is much below one half the maximum number it is doubtful whether, as the battalion has a Lieutenant Colonel, it is also entitled to a Major.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;A short time since Lt Col Topping was here and requested that no appointment of Major should be made until he returns to his regiment and was heard from. This I promised him and he agreed to talk matters over with General Palmer who had taken considerable interest in the regiment
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;An appointment at this time I should regard therefore a violation of my promise to Lieut Col Topping.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I do not know either of the Captains
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;and have no opinion of their merits. Capt Cantrell is the Senior Captain and if it is entitled to a Major he should be promoted after hearing from Lt Col Topping.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Very Respectfully
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Your Obdt Servt

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Enclosed you will find the rough draft of a telegram which you will oblige me by sending at once, if it meets with your approbation, as I trust it will.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;You are aware I suppose that Schwartz holds the commission of Major, and is borne upon the roster as such but has never been mustered in.  Besides, I understand that an order exists requiring permission for the muster of Artillery officers.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Please advise me if you send the telegram, as in that case I will telegraph Senator Trumbull with same subject.  Yours truly

&lt;p&gt;You are aware I suppose that Schwartz holds the commission of Major, and is borne upon the roster as such but has never been mustered in. Besides, I understand that an order exists requiring permission for the muster of Artillery officers.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;Please advise me if you send the telegram, as in that case I will telegraph Senator Trumbull with same subject. Yours truly&lt;/p&gt;&#13;

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I have the honor to report that there are now in camp at Quincy - four (4) companies of Colored troops recruited for the regiment authorized by the War Department to be raised in this state.  I think it a matter of great importance that these companies he mustered into the Service at once.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;As it may be some weeks before a full set of line officers can be properly selected I respectfully request (if the rules of the service permit) that a 2d Lieut for Each of these companies be appointed and mustered with the companies without delay. --- (over)

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Charles A. Wetherbee, Corporal 34th Ill. Infty.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Henry S. Wadsworth, Private 42d Ill Infty.

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dear Sir.  Will you be so kind as to ask Governor Yates whether anything has been done in regard to my commission yet   I understand that my application was placed on file and would receive due notice. I have his promise that he will grant my request if possible.  But not haveing any one there to urge the Matter is liable to be [overlood?] and neglected.  You will confer a great favor on me by letting me know by return mail.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Very Respectfully &amp;amp; Fraternaly

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dear Sir.  Will you be so kind as to ask Governor Yates whether anything has been done in regard to my commission yet   I understand that my application was placed on file and would receive due notice. I have his promise that he will grant my request if possible.  But not haveing any one there to urge the Matter is liable to be [overlood?] and neglected.  You will confer a great favor on me by letting me know by return mail.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Very Respectfully &amp;amp; Fraternaly
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;B. Mendenhall
