The Cincinnati Enquirer.

We have said some pretty hard things
Of the Cincinnati Enquirer, and have
not a word to take back. But truth
compels US to say that, for several days
past, it has SO changed it's tone as to be-
apparently, at least, about the best
Union paper in the city. 1t has, with
all seeming sincerely, rebuked both the
Gazette and Commercial for their insane
abuse of the members of the Cabinet.
With recklessness that abjures even
pretense of decency, the Commerctal
has pursued the Secretaries of War and
the Navy in spirit of perfect ferocity.
The one is called ''fool'' and the other
"knave" through all the changes of Ian
guage that sensation writer can en-
ploy. 1t gets up petition demanding
their removal as the voice of the people.
And if any confidence was placed in its
charges, all confidence would be lost in
the Administrator. But the thing,
happily, is SO overdons that the mischief
is not, perhaps, very great. According
to the Commercial everything is wrong,
and Cameron and Wells are the wrong
doers. But Secretary Chase, is, accord
ing to the Commercial, all right. But

From the Baltimore Pa triot.1
ATTACKS ON THE ADMINISTER ALTON
FROM "MASKED BATTERIES."

ATTACKS ON THE ADMINISTRATION
FROM "MASKED BATTERIES"
Amidst the general voice of praise
and admiration which comes up from
every part of the Union to Mr.. Chase,
on account Of his administration of the
Treasury Department, we regret to hear
one dissentient tone-from his own
State of Ohio-from the city, too, that
was the scene of his earliest distinctions,
and uttered through journal of repu :
table character and wide circulation.
Had we not been accustomed to en-
tertain for the good old Cincinnati Ga
zette, on account Of certain associations
with Charles Hammond and John G.
Wright, its time honored editors, very
profound respect, we might be tempted
to ask what nsotive can prompt these as
saults on the fair fame of the Secretary
ofthe Treasury? Has he, unconsciously,
by some decision, shwarted the project
of some speculator? Has he been una
BILE to bestow on some applicant the
place he wanted in the Treasury? Has
he been unable to procure from other
Departments, the posts that were desid-
Grated by so many patriots anxious to
serve their country? And have these
disappointed gentlemen found vent
for their most unreasonable complain is
through the cautious columns of our
Western contemporary?
Surely this is no time for those who
WELD the power of the Press to weaken
the hands of the Admin stration by al
lowing inconsiderate attacks on individ-
ual members of the Cabinet.
A state mans reputation, especially,
ought not thus to be trifed with.
The malice Of Mr.. Chase's personal
enemies has been most unfortunate in
the selection of their topics Of defama-
ton. His caution they call tsneidity for
his prescience of a future day of reck
oning they have the contempt which
prodigal spendthrifts indulge; and they
construe his gentlemanly bearing to-
wards the gentlemen whom he found in
possession of the routine Offices of the
Treasury Department, (however compe-
tent for their duties, loyal to the Union,
and honest in their private and public
relations,) into such disloyalty as to
call on him ''to begin by taking the oath
administered to his subordinates.
These are specimens Of the returns
which statesman, intent on the great
affairs of the Nation, may expect from
the small politicians who consider that
their little personal or equally insignif
cant partisan affairs should receive his
prime attention.
Forgetful of all he has done and is
daily doing to sustain the credit of this
Government, and, thereby, to enlarge
the comforts and conveniences of every
man, woman and child throughout the
Nation, they only think of what he has
done for their personal advancement or
qualification. We cannot conceive of
any more pitiable objects than those who
thus hawk about, through the press,
from town to town, and from village to
village their pretty personal griefs.

A Strong Appeal,

The Louisville Journal, speaking of
the continued outrages of the Secession
lists in Ky, thus appeals to the Union
men of that State:
''Fiends and devils in human shape
are plotting your ruin and subj hjugation.
They are laying their plans to have
Confederate soldiers in the employ of
King jeff Davis introduced into this
State. Awohe! 44rouse! and prepare to
meet the inuoder GiUe not an inch to
the conspirators IN your midst, for the more
you gioe the more they ,ciU aduance!-
Meet then, at the threshold If they dare
interfere aotth the exercise Of any constitu-
ttonal right aohich you possess Eeery
man Of you to his post. and ,oAile goa rcil!
not invade any sister Stste, If ,oar is ten
dered to yom accept 1t ,fsarlessly, and i
your State is aauaded ,oplcome the inva-
ders aoith bloody hands to hospitdble
graues We do not desire unnecessarily
to alarm you, but we tell you that we
understand the movements of this Sc
cession party. There as danger ahead.
Be not taken una,c0res. Eternal vigi-
lance is the price of liberty''
The miserable neutrality humbug is
about over in Kentucky. The burning
eloquence and resistless logic of the
Patriot Holt has nearly brought the
people to the true ground. Another
outrage or two by the rebels, and Ken
lucky, with the compromise manacles
broken from her limbs, will take the
place in the loyal galaxy to which her
resources and former renoun justly en-
title her.

BEDFORD TP., Aug. 26, 1861.
Editor Te!egraph.-Sr: [ was not a
little surprised the other evening, just
as I was leaving town for home, to learn
that some one, either ignorantly, or in
tending willfully to misrepresent, had
charged me with advocating Secession
doctrines, and still mor3 surprised that
any one who knew me should believe
the charges.
In order therefore that my position
may be fairly understood by all, wish
to make the following statement through
the columns of your paper: a
No one deprecates the doctrine of Sc
cession more than myself. l hold it to
be political heresy; but another name
for revolution, and that it is only right
when revolution is justifable-that the
present revolution in our country is i'm
polite on the part of the seeded States,
and wholly unjustifable.
1t is the duty of all good citizens to
obey all laws while in force, whether
they esteem them good or not, and that
it is equally their privilege, and indeed
their duty, to use all legal and honorable
efforts to procure the modification or the
repeal of all such laws as they may deem
improper or oppressive. 1t is also the
duty Of sve7y citizen to watch with the
strictest vigilance the official acts of all
public agents or Off ers, and to expose
promptly, and resist efficiently, every in
novation, malfeasance in office, or usur-
patton of powers not legally within the
purview of their respective Offices,
whether in time Of war, or in time of
peace. Upon the faithful exercise of
these duties and privileges the safety of
all free government depends.
In the present distracted condition
of our country it is the duty of all to
use every constitutional means to restore
the Union of the tkirty-fcur members
of the Confederacy, and at the same time
to preserve the Constitution inviolate
and unsullied-the former being value
less without the latter. Whether this
can be best secured by the sword or by
other means, is question which the
people have an undoubted right to dis
cuss without subjecting themselves to
the charge of the hypocritical cant, 'Se-
cession."
But, under any circumstances, l would
not advise suspension of hostilities un-
til an honorable settlement Of our ma
tional difficulties. While | would hold
the olive branch in one hand, [ would
hold the drawn sword in the other
But we have many politicians among
US who seem to have the whole weight of
Government on their own shoulders, and
should any one attempt to expose the
corruptions and usurpations of some of
our present State and Federal officers,
they raise the cry of Secession ''-"hang
the Traitors.
Now, 1 will just say to such political
asses in lion skins, that such braying
will not deter the people from the faith
full discharge of their duties, and the ex
ercise of their privileges as citizens.

the Commercial and Gu=ette are busi-
ness rivals, and one must therefore op-
pose the other.
The Gazette, therefore, defends, and
We must say, most successfully, Came
ron and Wells from the charges of its
rival. But it pitches into Chase with
the spite of a disappointed office seeker,
and makes him the scape.goat to carry
eff the imaginary sins of the Admins
tration, which have no existence except
as manufactured by it, for it's special
purpose. The Comn,erciol and Guzet'c,
both claim to be, par excellence, Union
papers, and charge the Enquirer with
.'Secessionism" because its course tends
to weaken the confidence of the country in
the Administration.
Now it is our firm conviction, with
all the force of party prejudice against
the Enquirer, aud in favor Of the Conn.,
mercial and Gazette, that these latter
have done more to destroy the conf
dence Of the people in the Government,
in a week, than the Enquirer could do
in lifetime, if it were to devote all its
energies to that end.
We cannot compare the course of
many of the leading papers of the North
to any example in history, which SO
aptly fits them, as the insane rivalry Of
the leaders of the factions in Jerusalem,
when the Roman armies were battering
at her gates. We hope the parallel
does not portend similar fate to the
Getty of our Solemnities the Consti-
tuition of our imperiled Country.
