on which to pronounce an intelligent
decision We have known Stanton per-
sonally ever since boyhood, and have
had the most implicit confidence in his
ability, his irniness, and his patrio tism :.
This all our-readefs know, as we gave
him the fullest and heartiest possible
Endorsement hen he went into Buchan-
mans Administration, as we did when
called into that of Mr.. Lincoln. But if
he is either incompetent or unfaithful,
we say, let him be sacrificed. So we say
in regard to Gen. Mcclellan. Both are
in the hands of the President He can
dismiss either or both at his will. I'm
til he does so, we must believe that he
still has confidence in them, and as he is
responsible for the acts Of both, this
forming of factions for and against his
subordinates is, in our opinion, all
wrong. Let us all rise above the par
stisanship of men until our country is
saved, and then settle the comparative
merits or dement's ofthe differentleaders.
