Letter of [Hamilton R. Gamble], Jefferson City, to Maj. Genl. [Samuel R.] Curtis. There is a German paper in St. Louis which evidently seeks to overthrow the Government by a violent revolution. I send to you two slips taken from the Republican which are translations, of articles found in the Neue Zeit, the German paper referred to. In one, the writer, addressing himself to what he calls the “radicals” urges a revolution in the state government, alleging my disloyalty and stating the fact that you were brought up from below with an army of 30,000 men to watch me and keep me from accomplishing my treasonable purposes. In the other the writer charges corruption upon the whole people of the loyal states…greater corruption upon the constitution…still greater corruption upon the statesmen who govern, and crowning corruption upon the administrator. He boldly recommends revolution and appears to lament that Genl. Fremont has let the propitious time pass. I think that in the present condition of affairs, a paper which, under pretense of loyalty, seeks to overthrow the government, ought to be instantly suppressed. This disloyalty is as dangerous as secession or any other kind of treason. Individuals mentioned include Genl. John C. Fremont. Subjects mentioned include Republican, Die Neue Zeit. Places mentioned include St. Louis. (2 pages), 1863 Feb 9
