Row NOT TO Do 1T, AND HOW TO DO II.
Among the notable rcumstances Of the times,
are the shifts 20 which tho Congressional advo-
Gates OF substituting q naked abolition dcspotism
over the land In place OF the Constitution and.
Government Of the United States are now resort
Ing, 20 attract public attention from the certain
d.ift Of all their lsbors Ia connection with the
war. They caused our defeat at Bull Run by %
clamoring for q forward movement when none
should have been made, a. 90 force that policy
upon the Executive and Ills military advisers
After that memorable defeat, instead Of meeting
che Crisis like men Of heart and nerve, they be.
hsycd, In this city, 90 like flock Of etampeded
sheep as TO cop7inGs all coel headed observers of
fheiI utter un8,ness TO perform what should have
been tA.tT Legitimate part Of the dreadful wa.
drama Of the times that OF prudent, cautious,
patriotic and Intelligent providers Of sensible
means OF bringing the contest 10 a successful
and speedy termination.
General Mcclellan having been called to the
head OF the army, 90 soon as they discovered that
he was not to be used a. mere tool 10 work out

Better cause, 70 destroy his efficiency In the dis
charge OF the duty committed to his hands. They
steadily opposed his plans, one and all, endeav.
oting to decry and destroy him in the confidence
Of the country and the army. So soon as his back
was turned TO take the field, their intrignes
brought about what was equivalent TO an entire
change Of hls plans for the campaign. tic l.ft
here the commander Of the whole armv he had
stcale1, 20 each portion Of which he had designed
ind assigned a particular task necessary 10 be
worked out by 1t 20 insure the success Of the
whole.
Though the President has generously assumed
the responsibility Of the order working that
change, sll the WI rid know that he was induced
10 isue 10 by the persistent clamoT Of the class OF
public men to whom we here refer. Had they
not brought about that change, all the worId
know also that Richmond would long since have
been ours. From the moment they thus assumed
7he control Of the plans OF the campaign in this
quarter, they redeubled their Opposition to
Mcclellan; seeking to procure his removal from
his Command by surrou. dirg him with every
conceivsoie emosfrassmf mt likely TO grow out Of
Peevish Interference with everything he had oc-
c,sion to do on which they could hang a oyer.

OF the policy Of complying with his urgent and

enough, and stopped the recruiting. In fine,
from hrst to last, they have commended ss yigor.
