680 - L. Oct. 11; ed: 2/1, 2 - It is a true saying that a man is known by
the company he keeps, and whatever he may say to the contrary, his
strongest affiliations, sympathies, tastes, lie in the direction of his
daily associates.
So it is with McClellan. Efforts may be made to redeem his character,
but so long as he associates with questionable company, so long is he
himself to be suspected. Men like Belmont, agent in this country for
Rothschilds, and Wallandigham, an outlawed traitor, are McClellan's
companions. Deserters and Rebel refugees in Canada are anxious for
his election. -
Can any man doubt, knowing what principles he has, and who his as-
sociates are, that he is unfit for the grave and responsible duties of
President of the United States? "Being in such poor company he will be
beaten as was his prototype, poor dog Tray." - (21)

1563 - L. Sept. 19; ed:2/1 - August Belmont, chairman of the "Copperhead"
national executive committee of the Democratic party, is an Austrian
Jew, and a financial agent of the well-known house of Rothschild in
Europe, which holds Confederate bonds purchased for almost nothing.
This committee is endeavoring, through Belmont, to bring about a ces-
sation of hostilities based upon granting everything asked for by the
South. It wants the national government to assume the Confederate
debt, which will add much to the already fabulous wealth of that great
house by increasing the value of its bonds.
"The Rothschilds know that the re-election of Lincoln will result in
the suppression of the rebellion and the worthlessness of confederate
bonds. It remains to be seen what success these foreign Shylocks will
meet." (6)

2038 - L July 16:2/2 - Wilkes, editor of THE SPIRIT OF THE TIMES says,
"The Jews from England, and the continent, and agents of firms such as
Rothschilds, are jealous of the financial condition of the United States,
and are trying to ruin currency and promote disaffection among the
people, by advancing prices of all commodities."
"The remedy proposed by Wilkes, to pass a Non-Intercourse Act, is a
bold one, and may yet be a popular one, and we regard it as embodying
much good and potent logic." (6)
