Title

Democratic rage that we have had to encounter...

Description

"I have this day forwarded to the proper officer a return of my regiment up to the 1st day of this month--the number returned is only 133. I lament that our success has not been greater but you may be assured that no blame ought to be ascribed to the recruiting officers, they have been incessant in their labors. It is not easily to conceive the Democratic rage that we have had to encounter. But appearances are now more flattering; the approaching season will facilitiate the business..."
