says;
1t can't he too often reiterated that
the one thing to be done is to put
down, completely crush, utterly ami
late the rebellion as such. The work
is not to conquer insurrection so as to
keep this party in, or 10 restore that
party to power, or so as to make pro-
vision for the future administration of
the Government in some way agreeable
to the aspirations of certain leaders and
their followers. Any effort, from any
quarter, to make political capital out of
the existing conflict, or to use it for the
advancement of favorite candidates for
high Offices, comes very near just now
to being disloyalty. The best public
