THE. WAR DEPAR rMFNT


We have witnessed with some uneasipess
the denuuciat'ons which have recently been
heard, almost exclusively from one quarter.
against the gentleman WIN now presides
oycrthe Department of War We have
sought sufficient cause for them but we
have sought in vain. We fiut enmity with
ont reasonable ground-we find elimination
without even plausible reason. We have
intended to take full and free examination
otthese Recommendations hut, as the ground
assigned for them is the plan and result of
the last campaign, wa defer the fulfment
OF our intention until we see the Report
which the Enquiry CT the House of Repre-
Eentatives wall doubtless draw from the Ex-
eCuiive, and until we see the ground then
taken by the denunciators We content
ourselves for the present with remark
ms, thar VIC have con ,cientiously believed
the present Sec rotary of War TO be as well
qualified to preside over the Military Affairs
OF the Nation, az any man in it, with whom
personal knowledge or common fame has
made uS acquainted, and that we have vet
seen no Gauss to change an opinion delibe-
rately formed. H. making this intirna1mn,
whatever may be the views of others, qve
expressly disclaim the operation of any per.
Sonal or political feeling whatever.
