The Three Leading Republican
Papers.
We believe that it is an admitted
fact that the New York Tribune has a
larger circulation than any other Re-
publican paper in the Union; and is
more universally read by members of
that party, especially in the Eastern
States, than any other paper. Well,
this New York Tribune is persistent
and constant in its efforts to denounce
and defame the leading Generals, and
especially the Commanders-in- Chief,
General Mcclellan who are doing
all they can to put down the rebellion,
and 'srestore the Union as it was, and
preserve the Constitution as it is. -
Every man of sense and common OBJ
servation knows that the course pur-
sued by the Tribune, is giving great
aid and comfort to the rebels, because
all Of its articles against General Nc
Clellan or any other General, is exten-
sively and willingly copied by all the
newspapers In the seeded States
There is nothing that affords an editor
in the Southern States, the leaders in
the rebellion, or the rebel army SO much
comfort as to get hold of a copy of
the New York Tribune. Knowing
the circulation and influence the Tri-
bune exorts, they naturally think after
reading the paper, that the people of
the North arc very much divided-that
they have no confidence in their Gen
erals, and that it will be an easy mat
ter for them to gain, as they termit, their
''independence.' There must be some
cause for the course the Tribune pur-
sues, and for the life of us we cannot
discover any other cause, than that of
jealousy. 1t is fearful that the Com
mander-in-C Chief, or some other brave
General, who happens to be a Demo-
crat, might in the future be candi-
date for some important office. By
defaming him now, it thinks that it
will place before the country record
against him, that viii in the future be
his ruin. That is the only reason we
can see for the Tribune acting in the
manner it does.
The next leading Republican paper
in the country, and one that is read
more by members Of that party than
any other, especially in the West, is
the Cincinnati Gazette. This paper
copies regularly in its issues all the de-
famations of the Tribune about the
Commander-in-C Chief, and every other
General in the army who happens to
be a Democrat. Besides the ideas,
quotations and articles it gathers and
copies from the Tribune, it occasional
~ finds room to defam as brave an6
gallant officers as the Union Army
contains; we allude to those pure pa
triots and devoted friends of the coun
try, the McCooks. The same reason
that prompts the Tribune in its work
of defamation prompts the Gazette
jealousy. 1t is fearful that these brave
1neh may perchance be candidates fol
important offices in the future, and il
is endeavoring to blacken their charac'
tiers while they are fighting the battles
of their country to Hrestore the Uaior
as it was, and the Constitution as it is.
The Gazette's articles aboGt these
brave men are copied and circulated Iii
the seeded States in the same manner
that the Tribune's articles are about
General Mcclellan.
The leading republican paper in this
county, and one we suppose that is
more generally read by members OF
that party in Harrison County than
any other, is the Cadiz Republican,
That paper, following the example Of
the Tribune and Gazette, must do its
share of defamation, in copying their
abuse; and in its own style talks as
follows Of some of the brave men that
are in the service of their country
from this county:
Military Lea(ers.
We have had in our midst, for soma two
months past, a couple of Military Loafsrs
