The New York herald., 1862-10-04

and YESTERDAY the Tribune, after, as usual, 40
cusing the HERALD Of .fslsehood, packed oo"'
from its first position, eud. admitting ina
the London Times, Pcss Hsrdd, Safar
day Reuieso and other influential Eng
iish journals will denounce the procla
nation, contents itself with "predlcting that
papers like the Star and Ne,os of London; the
Journal des Debats and Opinion Natiosale, Of
Paris" will certainly favor il. What the opin-
lon Of the Nssos, the Star and the Debats may
be We do not yet know; but, unfortunately for
the Tribune the Opinion Nationale, of Paris, has
already declared against the proclamation, and
was the first European paper to do so. We
quote from the Paris correspondent of the Lon
don Times, dated September l6, 1862
The Opinion Nationale another thick and thin partisan
OF the federas admits the triumph of their
and considers Washington very seriously threatened
Out It says-"f the North be driven extremities it
will decide according all Appearances proclaim the
general emancipation of the slaves and the world will
insurreoton OF which history has preserved che
mory.n
Will the Tribune be good enough to acknow-
ledge the truth for once, and retract at least
one of its many false accusations of falsehood
Will it explain, also, how it came to "predict'
about the Opinion Notionole yesterday, when
the above extract, superseding all necessity of
predictions" was published in the HERAID of
September 20? Having explained this, viii it
also be kind enough to inform us if il has yet
read and digested our extract from the Tribune
of August 2, in regard to those nine hundred
thousand abolition reserves? 1t may then rest
n peace for a while.
Our RADICAL ABOLITION ORGANS AND Our
GENERAIs.-Our radical abolition faction are
working like beavers to create dissensons, di-
visions and Generalization in the army. Their
game is to prolong the war beyond the lst
of January, SO that they may push the Presi.
dent, then, to the proclamation of an abolition
crusade, negro emancipation being with them
the paramount, and the restoration Of the Union
a secondary question. The readiest way to en-
barrass the movements Of our armies, mean
time, is to create doubts and distrust in the
public mind, and jealousies in the army, and
intrigues in the Cabinet, against our principal
generals. In behalf of these objects the New
York Tribune, which was judiciously quiet on
Antietam returns again to its dirty work of
belittling the services and military character Of
General Mcclellan.
Thus we are told that it is "the fate of Gen.
Mcclellan to be praised and petted by this pro-
slavery cabal;" that ''every sycophant of the
traitorous slave power in the loyal States,
every sympathizer with the rebels, sees fit to
swear by General Mcclellan" that "the rebels
themselves keep up the same outcry in favor Of
Mcclellan" and that, s'if he would only con-
trive to make the secessionists praise him less,
and their Northern friends to hate him little,
he would signally exalt himself in the estima-
ton of the great mass Of our loyal citizens"
The Tribune, accordingly, calls upon General
Mcclellan to issue an order to his army en-
forcing "the Presidents proclamation Of free
dom"
So it has come to this. It was only a few days
ago that our abolition organs were clamorous
for this proclamation of freedom" from the
President as the one thing needful, as the cer-
tain cure and end of all our troubles. Now that
we have it, however, our generals, beginning
with Mcclellan, are required to reproclaim it
g at the head of each regiment on the
occasion Of its next dress parade" The Presi-
dent has not considered any such order ne
cessary; but Greeley demands it, and we may
next expect his signal to be followed by q
general abolition howl in echo to his demand.
But should General Mcclellan meet this re-
QUESTION he will still be pursued by this re-
lentless abolition faction. They intend to
supplant him il they can, to make room for some
plant tool of their own choosing, in regard to
negroes, and also In regard to jobs and
contracts.
In the same issue Of the Tribune we find these
aforesaid editorial nings and slurs at General
Mcclellan, and long letter from Louisville
devoted to the most violent denuncations of
General Buell.. But this is not surprising, in
view of the fact that General Buell., like
General Mcclellan, has persistently refused
to make the negro question superior to
the question of the Union in the pro-
secution Of this war; General Haileck is
subject to the same charge and we apprehsnd
that nothing short of some such arrangement as
Fremont, Phelps and Hunter in the places of
Halleck, Mcclellan and Buell. will satisfy Masss
Greeley and his radical confederates. We
think, however, that as the country is satisfied
with the disposition made of Fremont, Phelps
and Hunter by the President, they will not
soon be promoted to commands beyond their
capacities; nor do we apprehend the suspension
of the war until the season for campaigning is
over for the present year, on account of any
abolition devices which may be trumped up to
the prejudice Of Mcclellan or Buell.. Let the
President adhere to his tried and approved
generals, and push on the war.
