il the loyal States. was a decision in favor Of
Mcclellan remaining il command Of the army
and against those who demanded his removal.
The decisive voice Of the people, in returning
Democratic Cougress-repudiating the radi-
Gals, as well as such men Is Yalla1disLam,-
has but jus: reached Washington, when the
defiant response of the radical ualignants Is
hurled back IN the removal Of Mcclellan from
the command Of tie army. Burnside has as.
sumed command in the field, by right Of seniori-
y, but it Is not supposed that he viii remain
in command. Fremont passed through Chica-
go on his way to Washington on Saturday
last. he Is the next in rank 10 Mcclellan
and viii, Of course, assume command Next
month, when the last meeting of the last Re
publican Congress, that the nation Is ever to
see, assemblies il Washington, they will have
matters their own way, and from present indi-
cations, the will Of the people as expressed at
the ballot-box, viii have no weight in their
councils. The only thing that can be done
will be to watch, hope, and pray that the
country will be enabled to Withstand their mad
antics, until the people can be heard through
their representatives,. Believing that the Pres
ideut desires to be honest. it is believed that he
will yield to correct '' pressure " as readily as
he has TO that Of the radicals, and there is yet
hope for the patriotic. despite all the dying
radicals Of the present Congress may be able
to accomplish.
The New York Times, the organ Of the rad
icals, was recently constrained to utter the fol-
lowing in behalf of Gen. Mcclellan.
"When Pope's army was whipped, decima,
ted, demorallzed and driven back upon Wash
lngton, and the enemy had crossed over boldly
and in immense force into MARYLAND tiea. if
ever, 1t might have been pleaded that for
ward movement could not be made upon the
enemy. What. fight victorious army with
beaten c0lumns-an army Of veterans with q
mixed mass Of hacked regiments and raw re-
cruits-impOssible Yet it was done. 1t did
not take Mcclellan a week 10 move his i'm
provised army actively against such odds And
he drove the unequal campaign through to in
spring national success"
But that was uttered prior 10 the election,
when there was hope of the radicals being sus-
taiued. On the receipt Of the order at head
quarters, for his removal, which was quite un-
expected, Gen. Mcclellan issued an order
turning over the command TO his successor, and
arrived in Washington on the 9th, in quiet,
unostentatious manner, and will immediately
proceed to Trenton. As far as can be ascer-
tained. he has not word to say. There is a
bitter feeling here among his friends and enc
mics.
Cameron has returned from Europe and an
nounces that there is a strong feeling in favor
of intervention. How could it be otherwise.
when such men as Cameron, Carl Schurz, and
Cassius NJ. Clay are sent to represent the Uni
ted States abroad Such report is simply bosh
to furnish an excuse to his co-radicals for the
ultra policy they intend to pursue. The radi-
Gals, knowing that their days of authority are
numbered, will hold high carnival until the pa
triotic Congress elect can assemble, and we
can only hope that their "'fantastic tricks "
may not destroy the Government. C.
\ RADICAL KICK AT THE ADMINISTRATION.
After the emancipation proclamation and be.
fore the election, the abolition newspapers
particularly prominent among which was the
New York Times, insisted that support of the
Administration was the best of loyalty to the
Government. The following is the opening
paragraph of the leading editorial article in the
New York Times on the second day after the
election
The heaviest load which the friends of the
Government have been compelled to carry
through this canvass has been the mqcfirHy
and HeGicieacy Of the Administration. We
speak from knowledge of public sentiment in
every section Of the State when we saw that
the failure Of the Government to prosecute the
war with the vigOr, energy and success which
the vast resources at It's command warranted
the country in expecting at its hands has
weighed like an incubus upon the public heart.
With every disposition to sustain the Govern
ment-with the most profound conviction that
the only hope OF the country lies in giving it
cordial and effective support-its friends have
been unable to give a satisfactory answer to
the questions that have come up from every
side Why has the war made so little progress?
Why have our splendid armies achieved such
slight successes? Why have thew lain idle so
long and why have tie victories they have
won been 50 utterly barred Of decisive results i?
The war has dragged on for a year and a half
The country has given the Government over
million Of men, and all the money they could
possibly use; yet we have made scarcely any
progress toward crushing the rebellion. The
rebel armies still menace the capital. Their
privateers defy our navy, and spread increasing
terror among our peaceful traders on the seas.
