Daily Ohio statesman. [volume] (Columbus, Ohio) 1855-1870, 1861-06-27

Il is the habit Of the Republican pfsss to take
their Democratic cotemporaries to task, II per-
chance anything appear in their columns In the
least dissenting from any Of the strange and
extraordinary measures and movements which
are daily transpiripg, and to charge st once upon
the unfortunate knights of the quill who are 90
bold as to offend In this particular, want OF
loyalty, yea, treason to the Government. But
these Republican editors, who thus arrcgate to
themselves the high Office Of censor upon the
conduct of others, appear to think that they
have sort. of right, inherent or prescriptive In
them, to say what they may think in reference
to the plans and policy of the powers that be,
in relation to the var now in progress.
GRIZZLY belongs to the school to whom we
refer, and 10 quite free In imputng to others
want Of love for the country and lack Of fdeli'
ty to the Coustitution-for neither of which
the whlts.coated philosopher has the slightest
reverence or even respect.
In his Tribune Of the 24lh June, GREEI1
has leader from which we make the following
! sxtsact:
1--WE are In danger Of ruising up military caste.
through the influence Of this war to lord 10 over us In
piaos of the slaveholding caste Just deposed In this
he regular Army; and which the Navy 3 likely % share.
ThonsandB now boring for commissions In tbs Army,
hoping thereby TO sscure empoymsn and subsistence at

shal after peace, urge the reduction Of the Army to
the acuai wants Of the service, whatsoever they may be
axTrcsi;on Or dossic conspirscy on Standing Army,
10 an anomaly which cannet long endure Either the
nation will absorb the army or the army viii give rusrs

GRzxLY deplores the "extenslon" Of the reg.
ulsr army and navy, because he Is afraid Of
military caste growing out Of "this war" to
"lorl II over ms in place Of the slsveholding
caste just depossd." That Ia bis only trouble.
NE makes no objection 10 the violations Of the
oohsdtusion and the laws Of the land which are
80 notorious In the whole transsction. These
do not alarm him. The unlawful and unconstl.
tutional "eztenalon" Of the army and navy, has
brought Into tho service body Of men--not of
oKEEls's faiths not Abolition-higher,lsw men
but atropg and powerful Democratic sle-
msns, which this rshid fanatic sees full we'll
viii never receive bis doctrine or fsbt out the
war 70 bis sAtisfacsion, and hence his uneasiness
Il may be that al he says about military
casts may comsto pass. No man can tell what
isin stors for this nation. Wehavs great faith
in the intelligence, integrity and patriotism of
she massof the people. and know they love the
Union and desire that the Constitution should
be maintaipsd inyiolste. But the constituted
authoritiss Of The ssatsl and Nation appear 70
sos on the hypothesis that In times like the pres.
enc no constitutional barriers are 70 be thrown |
a the way, and when met will bs overrode BY |
them. @
ThSpsopls are beginning TO look ct these
aattsrs with deep concern, and many are sp.
prebensivs that the end Of the contest win be
ihs destruction Of the Government. wshope
