What's the Matter with Him

From the York Journal of Commerce, Dec. 16.l
A observation-disclosures Redpath,
formerly the Kansas correspondent OF
the Tribune, and man known as be-
longing to the most progressive school
OF Abolition philosophers-a man who
has been charged with having done as
much as almost any other to toment dis
cord between the different States of the
Union-now comes out in the public
acknowledgement of past errors, repn-
dating the mischievous doctrines dis
seminated in former days, and announces
his retirement as a political editor until
such time as he shall have attained q
clearer and more human and christian
view of the duties of the freeman to the
en,lavcd." Hence is Mr.. Redpath's card,
published in the Pine and Palm, a ne vs.
paper devoted to the promotion Of Hay
tien colonization
"a PRErARAToRY WORD.-Having
become sincerely convinced that many
of the political doctrines that l have
advocated in my writings are dangerous
and abhorrent to the higher Insight !:
the neurderoxs policy for example of
melting the slaves to ansurrectaon =
which have urged repeatedly and with
terribly mistaken zeal wish to an
nounce here that shall retire from any
participation in the political manage
ment of this journal, excepting for the
purpose of re.racing past errors, until
such time as feel that l have attained
clearer and more human and Christian
view Of the duties OF the freeman to the
enslaved.
81 shall confne myself exclusively to
the editing of the outside pages of the
pauer. The name Of the act,rg editor
will be daily announced. The articles
signed with an astersk, G. were NINE !;
OF these / will retract many my associ
ates who indicate their respective writ
inas by the initial l., and BY the marks
T. I and 5, are alone responsible for their
thoughts thus labelled. Irepudiate my
aoar doctrines, utterly and forever.
"JAMEs REDpArH."
This frank acknowledgment is GER
tainly very noble in Mr.. Redpath, and
if 1t is presage of general conversion
from the Abolition ranks, there is more
hope for the country.

THE TRUTH BURIED.
The Secretary ofthc War Department


refuses to lay before the House OF rep
resentaiiyes the facts connected Win me
late Balls Bluff Disaster. The con-
struc,ion placed upon this refusal Is mol
at all favorable to some parties yet Nv
ing. while it would seem to entirely ex-
honerate Col. Baker from any blame
whatever. The party who is responsl
bic for the blood spilled at Balls Bluffs,
s,ill retains his high position in the ser
vice. 1t may he as well. There IS
PRECEDENT for it in the Big Bethel blum
der. where one thousand and nineteen
men were moved down through the *
fcc,s Of bad gcncralship. Still there has
been no investigation and probably Will
be none until the murdered ones stand
up to bear witness on the judgment day.
Poor Pierce may demand and continue
10 demand an investigation and triaI,
he cannot be accommodated, and Is
forced 10 bear the stigma OF bascness,
neilicicncy and cowardice, when, IN All
probability, he is guilty Of neither, aud
is less TO blame than officers Of higher
rank engaged in the affair. The Big
Bethel affair will never be opened to the
vulgar gaze of the public, and the refusal
Of the Var Department to allow the
Bali's Bluff massacre to be investigated,
shows very plainly that Col. Baker was
not IN fault, AMI that al tsinuations to
that effect have been made with a view
to hide The faults Of the living. This
may BE the proper way to carry Oh war
tho managers are supposed to under
der tand it better than outsiders possibly
could.
SorND. Tie Kentucky Legislature
Is Of the opinion very decidedly, tha
there are better men for Secretary Of
War than the present incumbent, and
Therefore ask to have him removed.
The entire country almost has asked the
same thing for months, but still the curse
has not been removed. Nobody has
any confidence in the man but Adolf
tionists and scccssionists. Union men
want "A better article.
MEMBERS of Congress oflhe Lovcl0y
and Stephens stamp, who are dlssatls-
