among the stsff, the larger portion of whom

aware of it.
BAD POLICY OF HIS REMOVAL.
Whatever may be the opinion in regard to
General Fremonts military ability, none can
but acknowledge the fact that his removal at
this time, when within few days march of
the enemy, will be a severe blow to the
Union cause of the West, but it behooves all
good and loyal citizens to bow to the decision
OF the powers that be, and by giving their
hearty support to his successor repair this
injury to the extent of their powers. {
