military commanders, and makes the following

There is a recslessness about this that is

We have always been taught to believe that
the beauty Of our institutions consisted in the
fact that honors We're not permitted to cumu-

laurels. We have depored, as an evil to man

thought that the success of Napoleon and Fred

SOLDIERS RELIEF ASSOCIATION.
WAsuINGToN, July 10


To the People Of Vermont:
am directed by the Executive Committee o.
the vermont Soldiers Relief Association" Of
this city to make a statement of the objects and
purposes Of that Association.
AT meeting of Vermonters resident in this
city, the following named gentlemen were ap.
pointed an Executive Committee, whose duties
are to look after and provide for the comfort OF
the sick and wounded soldiers from our State
who are or may be inmates of the various Hos
pitfalls in Washington and vicinity, viz:
Stephen Preutiss, Waitsield; James NJ
Slade, Mddlebury; William p. SheLd, Roval-
ton Daniel Buck, Chelsea; John Osgood
Rutland; +. W. Hall, Bellows Falls; Henry
Howes, Montpelier; James ]. Shedd, Royaton
Charles +. Graves, Rutland Luther p. Blod.
gett, Burlington.
ms Committee organized by elecing Ste
phen PrcnilNS, Esq, Chairman, and John Os.
good Secretary.
The plan adopted by the Committee to fur
ther the objects of the Association is as fol-
lows: Each member is required to visit one
or more hospitals at least once week-the
distribution being so made as to include all the
hospitals, and to insure to each one or more
visits each week.
These visitors are instructed to procure the
name OF the patient, company and regiment to
which he belongs, residence or Post Office ad-
dress, the nature of his wound or disease, pres
ent state of his health, and whether improving
or no, how he is cared fer, and what he needs,
II anything, make him more comfortable, and
report the same to the Secretary, who will rec
ord 1t in book for the purpose.
Thus 1t will be seen that the Secretary will
at all times be prepared to give the friends of
the sick or wounded soldiers full Information in
regard TO their conditions and it is made part
of his duty to furnish this information on ap-
plicaton either personally or by Ietter---a ser
vice which he will cheerfully perform. The
Committee will also attend TO Facilitating the
discharge from service, procuring the pay for
those who are permanently disabled and desire
to return to their homes-a matter in which
vary considerable difficult has heretofore been
experienced.
Our Chairman, Stephen Prentiss, ESQ.,, hav-
ing kindly offered to receive at his store No.
496 Ninth street, all articles and packages the
people Of Vermont are disposed to contribute
for the use of the Committee can assure them
that all such contributions sent to the above
address will be faithfully applied to those for
whom they are intended.

blhty, and to raise them to empire on their
bucklers. There is no such danger in an army
like the of his Republic, in generals like Nc.
Clean, in people like ours. But if the spirit
manifested is to be the controlling idea of the
newspaper press, there is danger of demoraliza-
ton. There is danger that we mav. become
educated to an acquiescence with u tyranny that
tasclnates in glory and ends in blood. When
our generals are invited to take Napoleon for n
model, we should not be surprised if they sent
regiment into the Senate Chamber some
morning to drive out our representatives, and
become ruler by the grace of God and not the
will of the people. We do not think that our
cotemporary anticipates any such results we
are very certain that it would deplore it in
common with every lover of liberty. But such
reasoning as that quoted above is an invitation
to tyranny and usurpation, and it should be
discountenancel and condemned by the Ameri-
can press.
We believe in the fullest criticism of every
general in the feld-wc glory in the opportu.
nifty for manIesting the spirit which the World
condemns, the spirit which looks iealousIy up-
on every laurel leaf and places disadvantages
in the way of every Frederick or Napoleon.
Let general Mcclellan he criticised fully--his
fame can stand the severest test and when the
ultimate results of his resent movements are
before the people, his countrymen will say as
we do now that he manifested judgment. cour
age, and generalship. But do not let us. in
the effort TO exalt him or a1y other command
er, be imbued with a spirit of idolatry ndhero
worship. Let us show him that his truest
fame will be the restoration of our Union by
his ,generaiship, and the perpetuity of the Re-
public.
