Among the many loose allegations |
against the management Of the War De-
partment by Mr., CAMERON, We have
failed to recognize any charge Of corrup-
ton or dishonesty that has beer pruned.
We don't like him. His appointment was
a annstake, in our opinion, and his paEtiality
toward his Pennsylvania favorites has been
too marked and indiscriminate 10 gain him
any favor in the West where Pennsylvania
politics and politicians are at a discount
We should not be sorry TO sec him remov-
cd to make room for better man who
would bling an untainted reputation to the
conduct of the vast interests intr11sted to his
Lands-a man in whom, in this fearful emcr-
gency, the whole country would implicitly
ecnfde. But We are compelled in justice
to him to say that, though he has been the
target at which his enemies have inccs-
sanity fired, not one Of their shots Las ta-
ken effect. There is great outcry about
corruption in contracts, and various
abuses Of other sorts; but those who bawl
the loudest are able to prove the least.
| At Washington, we chased down 4 dozen
| stories concerning his stealngs; but they
pr we'd to be baseless, as we. have no doubt
all others Of the same sort are. Hence the
| assertion With which we set out.
We are in no wise Mr.. CANERoS's, de-
fenders; but we should be unjust to our
| readers in the Northwest, at this moment
when their confidence in the Government
should be strengthened, if we
permitted the charges which are
made against him, with loud observations
Of their truth, to pass unchallenged. VIC
do not believe that ME. CAMERON IS abss.
ing himself by making his high office the
channel by which wealth flows into hi
pockets. He may be abused by friends
