At the Abolition gathering at Westches.
ter, Penn, last week, letter was read
from Theodore TiIton, of New York, wi 0
thus slated the relation of the Republican
party and of Adolf ionism to the war. Mr..
Tilton said:
"There is war, because there was q Re.
publican party there was Republican
party because there was an anti-slavery
party; there was an suti-sIavery party
because there was slavery. To charge
the war upon Republicanism is merely to
blame the lamb that stood in the brook ;
to charge it upon Aboitionism is to blame
the sheep for being the LAMBS mother;
but to charge it upon slavery is to lay the
crime straight at the door of the wolf So,
to end the trouble, kill the wolf belong
to the party Of the wolf killers y
This dear lamb, or rather old "yo" is
careful not to get very near the wolf He
is safely at home where he is not liable to
bs mistaken for mutton.

The veteran Scorr, than whom, few
Generals, ancient or modern can point to

patriotically and voluntarily retired with
mind so unimpaired as to see clearly that
though "the spirit is willing the Aesh is
weak" He shows that he has not the
weakness common to age, of believing

REMOVAL OF GEN. FREMONT.

Nothing has occurred since the COM
mencement of the war that excites $50
much, and such variety Of criticism, as
the removal of Gen. Fremont from com.
mand Of the Western Department. Had
the order for bis removal been given when
LYON fell and his brave army was forced
to retreat, or when MULLIGAN was com,
PEELED to capitula.e and surrender his
command, there might have been muir
mers in some quarters, yet the public
would doubtless have acquiessd without
inquiring into the suiliciency Of the reas.
ons. The good order and discipline of the
army require that the President, as Com
napdsr-in- chief, should not be called to
stsics account for every change which b
may see fit to make among commanding
officers. But the course pursued by per,
sons high in authority towards General
FRENoNT, renders his case an exception.
In the first place Gen Fremont was
assigned to one Of the m ost difficult and
laborious commands under the Govern
Rent and has not been amply provided
with means TO accomplish what was de.
manded of him. Actua.ed by personal
motives, Col. BLAIR early sought to null
tiply his endorsements and force him
into personal quarrel. Charges of various
offences and inaiscretion were preferred
against him, then published criticised and
circulated. Military men and Cabinet
officers we're constituted committees to
investigate and repor: upon these charges,
aud their report which conjec,ures many
things and proves nothing, is also given
to the public-thereby transferring thi,
whole question If Gen. FREuoST's admin
istration from a court martial, where it
properly belongs. to the public. At best
the whole affair is dsplorable. Should our
arms in Southern Missouri meet with
reverses, the removal of Fremont viii be
assigned as the cause. He was brave,
acquainted with the country, and enjoyed
the confidence Of the soldiers.
At the time of his removal conflict
seemed inevitable aud Federal victory
was promised. He was judged incomps.
tent without fair opportunity Of demon
stating his courage or ssnsralship. OF
course it give. bis friends good cause for
complaint Yet this matter important as
it is 10 Con. Fremont should not be per-
nitted to embarass the Government. 1t
should not cloud the patriotism or cool
the ardor of any friend of the war If
the President has done Fremon, injustice
tho people will see that full amends are
made in due time. The silence with which
he has hitherto treated his accussrs-ths
manly and patriotic course pursued by
him when his removal was made known
to his army-the maienity with which he
has been pursued, ere strong arguments
for him before the people, the tribunal to
which his accusers have appealed.

PREPARING THE WAy-We notice in
several of the Republican papers articles
from the London Times, and other Euro
psan papers, advising settlement Of
American difficulties by any means, even
a dissolution Of the Union This is but
preparing the way for more direct talk,
and we shall very soon hear the PROPOSE
ton for peaceful separation urged by
the abolition press. Rather than have
peace on such terms, we would see the
Mississippi crmsoned from Its source to
its outlet. We will never consent to peace
on such terms, and at such cost. The

BEWARE OF ESPECIAL DISPATCHES -
Gen. Mcclellan has issued orders prohibit
ing the telegraph from transmitting the
special reports of battles which ara pre-
pared here by the correspondents Of some
Of the New York press, and only allowing
the official accounts, which are received
ut headquarters to go through the regular
channel of the Assoc Ned Press to all Of
the papers This is intended to prevent
the transmission of ali rumors, true or
false, Of a startling character, which may
needessly alarm the country. But, in the
even, of battle here, it is by no means
\ probable, that the government will allow
the fact to DO transmitted on the day i. is
occurring
By bearing this in mind the public will
know Just how much reliance to place in
"spec ial dispatches which are msnufac-
tured to order, and not transmitted from
Washington, as, many have been led TO

Major General Mcclellan to night issued
the following order:
HEADQUARTERS OF THE ABMY,
Washington, D. C., Nov. |, 1861.
GENERAL ORDER, No. 81.
From the War Department: hereby
assume command of the armies of the
United States. In the midst of the diff 5,
culties which encompass and divide the
nation, hesitation and self dis,rust may
well accompany the assumption Of so vast
responsibility but confding as do in
the loyalty, discretion and courage of our
troops, and believing ar do that Proyi.
dence will favor ours as the Just cause,
cannot doubt that success will crown our
efforts aud sacrifices.
The army will unite with me in the feal
ing OF regret that the weight OF many
years and the effect OF increasing inlirmi-
ties, contracted and itensiied in bis coun-
try's service, should just now remove from
our head the great soldier Of our patton
the hero who in his youth, raised high the
reputation Of the country-in the fields OF
Canada which he sanctilied with bis blood
who, IN more mature years, proved to
the world that American skill and valor
could repeat, II not eclipse, the exploits
OF Corscz, in the land OF the Montezumas {;
whose lie has been devoted to the service
Of his country; whose whole efforts have
been directed to uphold our honor a; the
smallest sacrifice Of lie a warrior who
seorned the selfish sl)ri.s Of the battle
de'd, when his grea, qualities as states
man could DO employed more prohably
for his country; a citizen who in his de.
cl!niug years has gwen to the world a
most striking instance of loyalty, in disre
gardins all ties of birth, and clinging still
to the cause Of truth and honor. Such
has been the career of Winfield Scott,
whom it has long been the delight of the
nation to honor, both as man and a sol.
der. While we regret his loss, there is
one thing We cannot regret-the bright ex
ample he has left for emulation.
Let us all hope and pray that his de,
c!ining years may be passed in peace and
happiness, and that they may he 'cheeved
by the success Of the court and the cause
he has fought for and loved s. well. Be
yound all that, let us do nothing that can
cause him to blush for L. Let no defeat
Of the army he long commanded embitter
his last years but let our victories 'llumi,
nate the close Of life SO grand.

IMPORTANT QUESTIONS. --Harney, one of
the brayest and hes. Generals 10 the coun-
try, is still at Washington. A cerrespon-
dent Of tho Springfield Republican thus
speaks Of him:
have just seen Gen. Harvey pass down
the avenue, and a magnificent looking
man and officer he is. But what does he
here? To see such brave OLD bull dog
in q citizens dress about our streets W bile
our country is deyoured By armed rebels,
is sad as well as singular sight For
one know not what to make Of it. 1t is
rumored that the Government distrusts his
loyalty. This can hardly be- however, for
he daily visits the War Department and
prominent met of the Administration. He
seems to be on good terms with different
members of the Administration, but is not
set TO work. Why? Is it because of the
old quarrel between himself aud Gen.
Scott? 1t was very long time before
Gen. Scott would consent to call Gen. Wool
into the field, but Harvey WAS sent 10 Ms,
souri--and recalled. Is Missouri the grave
Of Generals, as Kansas was Of Governors !?

The PRESIDENT AND THE CRITTENDES
COMPROMISES 1t is stated, on the author
ity of Thurlow Weed, that Mr.. Lincoln
has expressed the most intense regret that
he did not urge at the proper time the
adoption of the Crittenden compromise by
his friends in Congress- Chicago Times.
Had Mr.. Lincoln at tie proper time,
been guided by such counsel as was furn-
ished by the venerable patriot Crittenden,
ani the lamented patriot and Statesman
Douglas, our government would have been
to day unit our people prosperous and
our country out OF debt. But, adopting
the advice Of politicians, instead Of States
men, cur government is divided into war.

The. ED RIVER IsDlANS. The collec-
tor Of Customs at Pembina, Mr.. lie May,
writes 10 the St. Panl Press that the In.
dams in that locality are becoming very
troublesome; party of them visited his
house and threatened the lives of himself
and family. Another party also stopped
the steamer Pioneer, at Pembina, and
demanded $4,000 as pay for the privilege
of navigating the river The boat was
not permitted TO proceed until the Captain
paid them 5000.
Mr. Stone, sutler at Fort Abercombie,
writes that large numbers Of Indians are
prowling around there, and suggests that
troops be sent on to garrison the fort as
soon as possible. The adjutant general Of
Minnesota has taken measures to send on
troops without delay.
PENNSYLVANIA ELEcTloN.-Ths recent
election in the old Key Stone State, shows
that the people Of that loyal State have
returned to their support Of Democratic
principles. The vote in California too
shows for the Democratic party, though
divided, an aggregate majority and in
every stale where the voice Of the people
has been heard, there is manifest change
in the public mind and the opportunity

power the only party that has ever been
identified with the progress and prosperity
Of the country. The Democratic party is
destined to 'rule the nation, and if ever
our country is restored to peace and the

ance and through the instrumentality Of
Democratic principles and the Democratic
Organization.
