The Alleghanian. [volume] (Ebensburg, Pa.) 1859-1865, 1862-07-31

p.r:n,ent is highly prejudicial TO the pub
Ec interests. Add To this the rest:yeness
OF the press at the restrictions placed upon
the transmission of military news, and a
certain hluntness Of manner which is the
occasion Of offence being sometimes taken
where none is intended to be given, and
you have the solution of his alleged un-
popularity, and the reasons why he has
thus been singled out for swift dcstruc-
tion.
TO praise Gen. Mcclellan, whilst de-
nouncing Secretary Stanton, is part Of
the plan Of the rebellion sympathizers
hoping thereby to create division and dis
sensions among the friends of the Union
aud the supporters of the Government.
| doubt that mans judgment who de-
nies to Gen. Mcclellan great military
skill, coupled with the most ardent and
enthusiastic devotion to that flag under
which he marshals his hosts for battle, as
1 question the sincerity and patriotism of
him who, whilst exalting Gen. NJ Clellan,
villifes and abuses the President and his
constitutional advisers
The true friend of our glorious cause
supports in their respective jurisdictions
both Stanton and Mcclellan, for they are
alike engaged with all their great powers
IN sustaining and uphoiding the best
government that ever foated on the tide
of time. and in crushing the most damna-
ole rebellion that ever men or devils were
engaged in, since the arch fend himself
made his impious attempt to supplaLt the
master of Heaven, and to dethrone the
Creator O. the Universe.
Let us, my friends, beware Of the de-
vices of these hollow hearted, pretending
friends, and let the true men of the nation
whether in the tented field, or in the
council chamber, be upheld and sustained
and let our denunciations be reserved for
those who are endeavoring to destroy the
Government and disunite the States
Our fathers constructed this Government
by long suffering, and under great and
terrible privations. They cemen:ed the
Union of these States with their life's
blood, and thus raised and reared the
magnificent edifce, SO that it should re-
main q monument to their wisdom and
patriotism forever and forever. Shall
their SONS permit the destruction Of this
fair temple, and pass to their children, not
the glorious Inheritance which they re-
ceived from their fathers, but divided,
mutilated and discovered estate, without
''form or comelness," to be regarded only
by the nations of the earth as fit subject
for scorn and reproach
Shall the language of England's great
poet ever be applied to this America Of
ours %
Gland of the rnforgotten brave,
Whose cline, from plain to mountains cave,
Was EraedomfS home orlnrvfs
Shrine of :he Mighty, can it be
That this is all remains of thee?'
No, no, Heaven forbid rather let US
look forward to that day when peace shall
again be restored to our common country !;
when no ogovernment, or pretended govern
ment, shall be recognized by any part of
the American people, except that govern
nent which was presided over by Wash
ington in its infancy, siren ngthened and
perfected by Adams and Jefferson, Madi-
son AMI Monroe in its youth, protected
by the iron will and unfinching courage
of Andrew Jackson in its early age, and
now preserved from the attacks Of a trait
orous brood by the strong arms and will
ling hearts OF more than FIVE hundred
thousand true American soldiers.
To this end let us maintain our country's
cause with our treasure, and if needs be,
with our blood. Let us refuse all inter
course, politically and personally, with
such as are now false to the old flag, and
let us swear by cur manhood, and our
hopes of heaven, never to yield to this
rebellion, even though, in resisting it, our
hsarthstones shpuid become desolation
, and our homes dream.
