} The Journal says Of the Statesman, The |
iusidIousA A.tacl1a which seonssantly makes upon
the Administration. and the covert comfort
Iwhioh IL coos,antly Affords the epshiss Of the
nation, are calculated to fx upon II the spirit Of
dsloyalty" Our neighbor must be iniormed'
that any attack we have to make against the
Administration, National or siate, will be made
in plain and unInistakable ter1s' III ai'eeks
on the Administration, "are calculated to fix"
.suspicion and disloyaity" uponthose who make
them, there Is scarcely a press or citizen In
Ohio, that 10 not subject to "suspicion."s Gov
DrsrrsoNs Administration far as conduct
ing this war, In Ohio, is concsrned-has be-
come 90 odious that 1t really has but few
friends. Now, is ii to be understood that Oil
PAPERS and citizens who ''attack" the Governor
and his Administration, are to be looked upon
as 'disloyal2'' If 80, q loyal citizen Or paper
in the Jsurnars estimation, would almost be q
natural curiosity. The Journal, however, may
nos mean to extend itssuspicion, so as to IN
clude those who "attack" Gov. DEsNIsoN and
the State Administration simply those who
are impudent enough to say anything in condem'
nation of the "powers that be" at Washington.
If so, we can but regard the distinction as ex-
ceedingly "fine spun, )" as both Administrations
National and state-are severely criticised for
their management Of the war, and matters re-
lating thereto. Ao
In the identical number of the Journal in
which ii questions the" loyalty" of those who
/" attack" the Administration, alluding to the
unfortunate affair of Gen. ScHENcK at Vienns,
we fnd the following: l9923
aBoxing men up to be shot at 10 an Improvement up.
on sending them against batteries without means OF as.
auitng them and under insufficient leaders, al at Great
Bethel" .i5o1r -l i've. fIl 4.
!, Now, we ask, who is to blame for boxing
; these men up to be shot att" Is 1t Mr.. LIN
COLIN, Gen. scoTT, Gen. MCDOWELL or Gen
{ ScHENck9 And who is responsible for the ep-
pointrnsnt Of these inefficient" leaders7 Again
says this "loyal' raper, "The slaughter o.
Ohio troops at Vienna, Monday evening, seeml
t like the result of inexcusAble stupidity some
t where" We agree with the Journal in all !
b has said upon this matter; but We hope 1t vii
J. not be considered an "attack upon the Admins
t tration," and we may not be branded with ''dis
u loyalty" CT
Again, says our "loyap neighbor:
"When our troops are sent Into the enemy's countI
to reconnolter why put them on railroad cars, to
killed In bulkt dcEen or more precious lives nav
/ haaw. lnak In ariu aQnfb
4 That's So. Why do such foolish thing
T. The Journal would hardly treat car load o
e those dotards" who /" gabble and weep tear
: of imbecility over the breaking up Of thi
s Union "and unnatural compact" insuch crue
a way! a..u r.s.-.,.A a
/ Further says our neighbor: .tf.. ... y
1.-THE country tired of these laundering skIrmishes
10 which the Federal troops are almost the sole suffer
ers."
The Journal has at last become satisfied tha
the country is tired Of this "blnndering" man.
} sgement, and yet If Ia democratic paper darei
to expose or find fault with the blunderers, III
"loyalty" is questioned. Lastly, says the
Journal, 4su.ir..,. ei|
sIt oohs too in the case 10 question, n the Rebel
had a. secret co-adjutor in the engineer Of the train
which carried the Ohio boys to the slaughter"
We confess we thought IL looked so to US, but
as we supposed the 'engineer" was appointed
by the Administration, he must be "loyal"
citizen, and we thought we would not impugn
his motives until we saw whether the Journal
did so! Wefeel easy about it now, and fear
lsssly say he ought TO he hung to the fret tree II
Il be true that the engineer vac secessionist.
We should not be surprised, If it would turn
out, that the engineer was a partner of Mr..
HARVEY, the Republican correspondent of the
New York Tribune, and Mr.. LIscoLS's Minis.

In conclusion, we inform the Journal, that we
shall speak of the Administration, National and
State, in just such manner as we may think the
occasion requires, and We are not to be deferred
by any construction which that disunion concerr
may please to put upon what we do say. Itcan
not cover up Its infamous ISLANDERS upon onl
Union and people, by any such shallow ant
hypocritical pretense of loyalty by charging 9th
ers with it's own infamy.
