ACTION sTnE woRp.
What is apparent TO everybody Of III
telligcnce and dfscernment in the North !
must, We take it, be perfectly clear to the
Administration at Washington. II here
in Illinois, and in Indiana, Pennsy y1vania,
Ohio aud New i ork the result Of the recent
elections is regarded as q vote Of condcm-
nation, not even the nonchalance Of Scg-
ard, or the optimism Of Smith, eau so be-
fcg and hunbug The other members Of the
executive department Of the government,
that they will be unable to Sec just where
that condemnation should fall The coun-
t.y has decided, not that ABRAHAM LIN
coLs in houesty, in patriotism, ana1u zeal,
is not verify Of the country's confidence;
but that the men Ike Mcclellan,
Buell. s. Co, who have so abused the public ]
patience, are unworthy of u continuance
Of that support the President has accorded !
10 them. It has decided That we must
bayc war in earnest, or peace upon sonc
terms the most honorable that can be OBJ ]
taircd; at any ratc, that the old policy Of !
neglect and inaction IN the field, shall give
way to new aud more energetic ucasurcs.
We believe that the voice Of the people t
is for var. The ayowa1 Of peace or
compromise policy, on the part Of the
Democratic Nominees for Congress, would,
we think, have inevitably insured far
different results ftcm those that hare been
attained.
Their nominees, for the most part, are
pledged 10 continuance Of hoztiliies uotl
the ,e11itosial integrity Of the country aud
its poli,ical unity arc restored We know
that, in many cases, these pledges wcra
intended 10 deceive, and tha. the Presi ient
Will contend against q powerful and al
most openly disisyal faction US soon as the
next Congress meets Bat the people put
f..i1h III their sinccri ;, and cast their votes
eccoruing 10 1oeir cnnTictions And as
>-nuch as VIC regret the disaster that has
bcfn]]sn the ,slaaiuis::ra alton, We must
confess, and, supporting Mr.. LINCOLN as
warmly and Us cncrsetlca'ly as re do
nov and always have done, We confess
with shame ard modification, that We have
no reason 10 he surprised or shocked BY
the verdict thu. the people hare rendered
There is an end to human endurance, and
