TIE Dxsu Or 1OCLGLAN.-The radical pc
psrs have been psrpetually crying cut that
General MoCleiisa was too slow in his move
ments. He did not move fast enough or sscri-
doc life enough to suit them. What can they
ssy now Of his dashing seventeen days cam
psign In Marylandf General Mcclellan moved
slowly and cautiously whom strategy and good
generslship demanded Il; but he was fast
enough when the right time came, q the resuls
proves.
He was appointed to the command of the
army defending Washington on the I'd Of this
month. In one week he reorganiaed demoral-
lied army. On the 9Th he left the capital and Vol
lowed the enemy upon their Northern raid into
Maryland. On the 18th he drove them out of Fre-
derrick and pressed them on to South Mountain,
where he defeated them the next day Pushing
them further towards the river, he brought
them to a stand at Antieam creek and there
defeated them again on the 18th. Giving them
one days rest to bury the dead on both Sides he
opened upon them on the 10th with cavalry and
light artillery, and drove them clear out Of Mary
land, so that not even rebel scout remained
upon the soil which their immense army had SO
dsiantly invaded only twenty days before.
There is no such brilliant career in history
.as this of the man the radicals abuse for being
"slow." The eliminating battle of Antietam,
fought on Wednesday, has given the death
blow to the rebellion. 1t was the great battle
of the war, from which the rebel army can
never recover, and the victory was but fitting
termination to the brief and splendid Maryland
campaign. More battles are yet to be fought,
most probably; for we cannot expect that the
mass Of armed rebels in Virginia and elsewhere
will melt away. Guerilla fights and minor con-
ficts are before us; but the browning battle of
the war was fought ON Wednesday by General
Mcclellan, and he won it. What more is re-
quired of him? Let his enemies Of the radical
press, then, be silent.

WndG and Chandler.

Ben. Wade, the stupid old pug dog, aud
silly Chandler, the cowardly and impertinent
puppy, OF the abolition faction Of traitors,
distinguished themselves in the United States
Senate on Wednesday. Ben. Wade made a
speech in which he insulted the President,
accused him O back kitchen ways OF doing
business" and charged bim with attempting
to resume the "royal" prerogatives. Silly
Chandler followed up this speech by equally
insulting Gen. Mcclellan, accusing him Of
"wholesale MURDER" and charging him with
constructive treason. These Senators are a
disgrace 10 the body 20 which they belong, to
the States which they misrepresent, and to
the country in which they live. They have
the hearts Of traitors and the manners oil
pickpockets. Chandler concluded his speech
by saying that only traitors and fools would
denounce him, lie is vastly mistaken; for
only traitors and fools will support and ap
plaud him. Ben. Wade's term OF ofiicei cx-
pires 10 March next, and he IS a cand date
for re election. We commend him to the
especial attention OF the people Of Ohio; and
we wish that Chandler was out Of Office
also, that we might give him similar recon
mendation to the people of Michigan. We
think that both Ohio and Michigan shoulC
be represented in the United States Senate
by loyal men and gentlemen. Messrs. Wade
and Chandler are neither the one or the 9TH

The Republican Policy.

The Secessionists alleged as THE
CAUSE why they wanted to with>
draw from the Federal Govern
ment, that such was the temper Of the
people of the Free States in relation
to the matter of African slavery, that
they could no, longer abide in the
Union with safety to their slave prop
erty-that a party had been elevated
to the Administration of the Govern
ment on the ayowed issue of hostility
to the institution of slavery party
that would deny them ingress into the
Territories with their slaves, and that
would oppose the admission into the
Union of any more slave States. The
cause of Secession must either thrive
or languish as the march of events
should confirm or rcfute these allega>
tions. H
Now, if the party in power medita-
ted no such acts as were allegedagai
them by the Secessionists, they should
have abstalned from abolishing slavery
in the District of Columbia; they
should have kept out of Congress all
measures of con6scation and emanci-
patton, and the President should have
refrained from the Recommendation Of
his compensated emancipation scheme.
The whole energies Of the Govern
ment should have been directed to the
putting down of the rebellion and to
the convincing of the people in the
Seeded States that they had been de-
luded; and when the work Of crushing
out Secession had been accomplished,
the chiefleaders in the Secession move
ment should have been punished to the
extent contemplated by the Constitu'
tion. ~s asr +.,4
/ A line of policy like this would have
undoubtedly, terminated the war in {
much briefer spaceof time, at less cost
and left behind less asperity Of feeling
than by the adoption and practice off
conflicting policy.

Bsa The Republicans of Harrison

Convention for Monday, August 49,
This County Convention is to nomi-
nate a County Ticket, select Delegates
to Congressional Convention and ap-
point a County Central Committee,
and also "one person in each township
to act as a township committeeman"
This thing of a County Convention
appointing delegates to Congression-
al Convention and appointing town
ship committeeman is what we should
call taking "thc power out of the hands
of the people and placing it in the
hands of the few" But then that is
what Republicanism in these latter
days means. If the townships were
left to select their own Congressional
delegates, they might not be unani-
nous for any one man; but County
Convention can make them unanimous
fos this one man. Hence this despotic
change. .gin H 4.
