Since the opeo,ng OF the present campaign,

exploit, the brightest glories OF the Napy.-
The victories OF Chihhewd and Bridyewaier,
achieved by cur gallant Soldiers, bear equal
rank Win those on Erie and the .dlannc, won
by our undanled TarS. The Eagle of our
country, sublimeiy towers, and tells to the

either on the land ., water. The names OF
BROWN, ScoTf, RIPLEY, PORTER, MILLER,
together with all the othef brave officers and
men VINO have so nobly added TO the reputs-

Hest emotions OF gratitude Nor Will the re-

How many superior statesmen, secretaries,
generals aud heroes have we in our chimney
corners and ale houses! There is not bar
ber's shop which would not have taken Kings
ton and over-run Upper Canada before now,
ways and means, of offence and defence out OF
the que es,ion. You can find better comman-
der than Chauncey in six penny ferry boat,
and filter Secretary of War in corporals
squad of militia. A common ward meeting
can furnish more wisdom and integrity than
both houses Of congress. And every state 10
the ur'on can fiji the presidency and the de-
partments of the general government with
abler men than the present incumbcnts. Irony

are we not toe ready TO find fault with what
ever fails to meet our sahguinc wishes, aud 10
imagine things so wrong merely from our ig.
norance of the whole ground and causes OF
action Because the secretaries and COM
manders have no, laid before us--and Of
course the enemy too-,he whole OF their re-

think them guilty of negligence, incapacity,
or disaff'ecton, for not doing one thing or pre-
venting another; which our limited ideas have
supposed essential to the public service

experience and the ACTIVITY OF the toe, we
form our projects of campaign,hx upon our
own time for its execution, and without walt

and opportunity, condemn the whole Proce-

one word Of the merits or demerits of those
who manage our affairs. Charity would say,
wait till the end is known nay, even Till you
know the beginning. But we say no. AS II
reqGiring omnipotent powers, We expect and

The present campaign has opened highly

heroism OF American troops under efficient,
officers, is displayed to the utmost degree of

Gen. Brown and Gen. Scott have done hon.

under their command will ever receive the
applause of their fellow.ciiizens. While we
contemplate the bravery of menT5S"ny IN
behalf Of their, injured rights, it demands
strict observance towards those 10 our sea-
ports, who presnmp,uously claim personal
infercoarss with the enemy. We cannot but
